Below is a tabulation of Bitcoin’s quarterly returns since 2014 courtesy of Unfolded. From the data, it can be observed that Q4 of 2020 was the second most profitable quarter for Bitcoin since Q4 of 2017.
Q1 of 2021 Has Been a Positive One for Bitcoin
When the data was tabulated by the team at Unfolded, Bitcoin had experienced gains of 7.84% since 2021 began. Bitcoin has since set a new all-time high of $32,310 in what looks like a push towards higher levels closer to $35k or even $50k.

There is No Perfect Bitcoin Entry for a HODL Position
With the first weekend of 2021 being a green one for Bitcoin, chances are that retail traders are in control of the price action with accumulation on their minds. Those who are still waiting for a dip might be in for a surprise as Bitcoin has probably entered another FOMO phase similar to the one witnessed when $10k and $20k was broken.
Veteran Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo, had earlier this week cautioned traders against waiting for the dip. According to Mr. Woo, worrying about a perfect entry might not be necessary given that Bitcoin has the potential to gain $100k – $300k in a year.
His exact statement was as follows.
If you’re looking for an entry to HODL Bitcoin long term, don’t nickel and dime an entry. You’re not going to sweat a few thousand dollars of non-perfect entry when it’s $100k,$200k,$300k in a year. The main bull phase is here. Capital inflows has gone nuts.
