66k BTC price doesn't seems so bad, but this year price record seems to be the among the years where Bitcoin Easter prices is lower than the previous year's, this make the record bad one for this year, although 66k price is not n entirely low price but it's lower that 2025-2024. Most especially 2026 a year that many projects Bitcoin to achieve an all time high $150kBTC considering the trend that Bitcoin pushed out in 2025.
It’s not that bad considering the historical trend of bitcoin, if you look at the years after bull run ( two years after the halving) you would see that some had years where the market price was higher the previous year most especially if the previous year was actually the year historically meant for bullish sentiment. A typical example will be the previous halving before the most recent one (2020 halving), if you look at the prices in the year 2021 which was higher than that of 2022, it will be clear that the price in 2026 is following just that same pattern.
Those of us who have been learning about Bitcoin for a short time never imagined that the price of Bitcoin would drop so much. But it did. And the price has been somewhat stable for a long time. That is, it has not fluctuated much. When the price was above $100k, the price was more volatile. But currently the price is fluctuating between $70k + and $60k +. I think that the reason for the price being so high at this time of year compared to previous years is the global political issues and economic instability in the world. We may see some price increase towards the end of this year. But I do not think we will see a new ATH this year.
Yes some political or rather global economic factors can affect bitcoin but the reason why some previous years had higher price than the next one following it was because bitcoin has an historical trend which it’s has followed for most part of its existence, some years are predominantly bearish while others are bullish, for study you should look into that it will better help you understand bitcoin price movement.
But be aware that history doesn’t repeat itself spontaneously
