The devastating day now known as Black Thursday took Bitcoin price down to $3,800. The sharp collapse also knocked the asset out of a logarithmic growth curve it had been following its entire history.
This latest, over 160% rally has now reclaimed that generational log curve, making it the greatest shake out the cryptocurrency market has ever witnessed.

Bitcoin price had been trading at over $10,000 in February, after an early rally in 2020. The stock market alongside it had set a new all-time high.

However, markets have been recovering thanks to stimulus checks handed out by the US government. The economy is reopening, and the pandemic is slowing.
Bitcoin has now rallied over 160% from its recent bottom and has reclaimed the log curve, leaving the greatest shake out in crypto history on Bitcoin price charts.

There is a tendency for Bitcoin to reach set its tops and bottoms in December, so December 2020, 2021, and 2022 have each been selected.
Potential top levels put Bitcoin price reasonably at $88,000, $130,000 and $160,000 respectively. As time goes by, the potential growth slows and volatility within the curve declines.
