Analyst: Bitcoin has historically seen strong rallies after annual losses

Bitcoin has historically posted strong gains in the years following an annual price decline, with a similar pattern potentially emerging this year, according to an analysis cited by CoinDesk. Jesse Myers, Head of Bitcoin Strategy at Smarter Web Company, noted that the cryptocurrency recorded negative annual returns in 2014, 2018, 2022, and 2025. In the years that followed, Bitcoin saw rebounds of 35%, 95%, and 156%, respectively, with an average recovery rate of approximately 95%. Myers suggested that a similar upward trend could resume this year.
