I am trying to figure this out as well. Less than a year since I went down the crypto rat-hole so I have not seen it all yet.

My latest observation is when the market is in an uptrend, there are still ups and downs but the price makes bigger moves at the top of the (stochastic) cycle, gets higher than the typical, and when it corrects, it is down the same amount to a higher low.....

Exactly what you are seeing but I have learned to never say never as well.
