Bitcoin remains below its all-time high as its current drawdown holds near 39%, around 205 days after the peak, according to CryptoQuant data shared by Zizcrypto. The chart compares Bitcoin’s latest pullback with earlier cycle declines and shows that current losses remain far above past capitulation zones. Previous market bottoms reached deeper levels, with drawdowns near 86% in 2015, 83% in 2018, and 76% in 2022.
The CryptoQuant chart tracks Bitcoin’s price, all-time high levels, drawdown percentage, and capitulation zones across several cycles. It places the current retracement above the deeper losses that marked past bear-market lows. Zizcrypto said the present pullback sits near 39% from Bitcoin’s all-time high. That level differs sharply from the declines that appeared during earlier cycle bottoms.
The chart covers Bitcoin market activity from 2013 through 2026. It shows long-term price movement alongside repeated periods of stress after major peaks. The data also marks capitulation zones in blue. These areas appeared when Bitcoin traded far below previous highs, and market losses widened sharply.
The current drawdown line remains outside those deeper blue zones. As a result, the chart shows a market under pressure, yet not at prior capitulation levels.
The 2015 market low came after Bitcoin fell roughly 86% from its previous peak. That decline marked one of the deepest drawdowns shown on the chart. In 2018, Bitcoin entered another severe downturn. The cycle low formed near an 83% drawdown from the all-time high, according to the figures shared with the chart.
The 2022 low came after a smaller, yet still sharp, decline of about 76%. That move remained deep, but it did not match the earlier cycle losses.
Zizcrypto noted that more recent bear markets have generally bottomed with shallower losses than earlier eras. That trend fits the idea of a gradually maturing market structure. At the same time, the latest retracement remains well short of the damage seen during past capitulation phases. The present decline still differs materially from the lows shown in 2015, 2018, and 2022.
The chart’s price scale shows Bitcoin’s growth across multiple cycles. Meanwhile, the drawdown scale shows how far each decline moved from its all-time high. Together, those two measures frame the latest pullback against earlier downturns.
Bitcoin’s price line remains below the ATH line on the chart. The drawdown reading, meanwhile, stays near the middle of the historical range, not near the deepest lows. Zizcrypto also stated that the current setup does not guarantee further downside. The data only shows how the latest drawdown compares with earlier cycle conditions.

The CryptoQuant chart presents the current market as different from past capitulation periods. Bitcoin still trades below its all-time high, but the scale of the decline remains much smaller than earlier cycle lows.
The comparison also shows how Bitcoin’s cycle behavior has changed over time. Earlier bear markets produced larger peak-to-trough losses, while later downturns ended at comparatively shallower drawdowns. For now, the chart keeps the focus on historical context. Bitcoin remains in a pullback, yet the current 39% drawdown stands far above prior capitulation readings.
Bitcoin’s current drawdown near 39% remains far above the deeper capitulation levels seen in 2015, 2018, and 2022. CryptoQuant data shows the pullback differs from past cycle lows, suggesting the market structure has changed while Bitcoin still trades below its all-time high.
