In a recent tweet, Glassnode offers insights into the price gains of Bitcoin across three different cycles. In the cycle that spanned 2015 to 2018, Bitcoin rose 1,076%; while in the 2018 to 2022 cycle, Bitcoin gained 1,007%. In this current cycle, which began in 2022 and is still ongoing, Bitcoin has gained 656%.
Glassnode observed that despite Bitcoin's substantially larger market capitalization today (it is currently valued at $2.08 trillion), BTC's current cycle's performance isn't far off from past ones.
Despite much larger market cap today, $BTC current cycle's performance isn't far off from past ones:

This historical trend suggests that demand growth is keeping pace with BTC's maturation, which is an impressive sign of sustained investor appetite.
The current Bitcoin cycle exhibits a unique duality, according to Glassnode, where elevated long-term holder (LTH) spending volumes coincide with an even greater volume of coins aging into maturity and entering the cohort.
This phenomenon creates a new market structure, with LTH wealth appearing substantially stickier than in previous cycles. A likely driver of this change is the influence of U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs and growing institutional participation, which may be anchoring a bigger chunk of supply in long-term custody.
Key levels to watch
After falling to a low of $100,377 on June 5, demand resurfaced at this level, with Bitcoin rallying to a high of $110,651 on June 9 before profit-taking ensued. Bitcoin fell to a low of $102,746 on Friday before rebounding.
At the time of writing, BTC was up 0.33% in the previous 24 hours to $105,061. Holding above the psychologically critical $100,000 mark indicates that investor confidence remains strong.
On the upside, the $115,400 level emerges as the first significant resistance point if the market enters price discovery. Based on the short-term holder cost basis, $97,600 remains a critical support level for sustaining local bullish momentum.
According to Glassnode, the price range of $92,900 to $95,400 appears to be a key zone to sustain local momentum, while the $81,700 level serves as a potential lower bound consistent with broader bull market conditions.
