Technical analysis by EL_STOCKTROOPER about Symbol BTC on 10/21/2025

Back in 2017, Bitcoin’s rally was almost entirely retail-driven. There were no institutions, no solid regulatory framework — it was pure market emotion. That’s why it went up fast… and crashed just as fast. Then came 2021, and things started to change. We saw some institutional money coming in, which gave the rally more structure and scale. But at that time, Bitcoin was still not fully recognized by major financial institutions or governments. So even though that bull run looked strong, it didn’t last long — and wasn’t sustainable. Now, this current cycle is a whole different story. Wall Street is in the game. Spot ETFs have been approved, institutional adoption is broadening, and Bitcoin is finally entering the mainstream financial system. That’s why this rally feels healthier, more structured, and more mature. But let’s be real — when Wall Street steps in, they’re not here to let everyone make easy money. They’ll use data, leverage, and algorithmic precision to flush out both overleveraged longs and shorts, until they have full control of the market flow. So yes, the volatility may slow down, the moves might look more “managed”… but the uptrend could be stronger, more resilient, and far more sustainable than anything we’ve seen before.
