90 Days Ago Crypto Was Dead — Look At It Now

Three months ago, Bitcoin was around $60,000, Ethereum was struggling near $1,500, fear was everywhere and some of crypto’s biggest influencers were warning that things could get much worse.

Fast-forward to today and the picture looks completely different.

Bitcoin has climbed back into the mid-$80,000s. Ethereum is above $2,700. Solana has recovered more than 70% from our June comparison point. Chainlink is up roughly 77%. And the Crypto Fear & Greed Index has gone from extreme fear to outright greed.

So what changed?

In today's Crypto News Today Deep Dive, we go back to the depths of the summer sell-off and compare exactly where Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Chainlink, Cardano, Dogecoin and other major cryptocurrencies were trading then versus where they are now.

But we're also keeping the receipts.

We look back at the warnings, predictions and fear-heavy posts being pushed during the downturn — including calls from Crypto Rover, Ash Crypto and Crypto Banter — and compare them with what some of those same voices are saying now that the market has recovered.

This isn't about pretending everyone who was bearish was stupid. Markets change, evidence changes and good analysts should change their minds too.

The bigger issue is what happens when fear gets sold as certainty on the way down, greed gets sold as certainty on the way up, and the predictions that didn't work quietly disappear underneath the next round of thumbnails.

Because if the last 90 days have taught us anything, it's this:

Crypto can change incredibly quickly — for better AND for worse.

We also look honestly at our own coverage during the sell-off, why credibility means acknowledging uncertainty rather than pretending every move was obvious, and what investors should remember the next time their portfolio turns deep red — or dangerously green.

Today's episode covers:
• Bitcoin around $60K versus the mid-$80Ks today
