In a market where Fear & Greed is at 27 (Fear) and BTC dominance is high, this story serves as a psychological anchor for long-term holders. It suggests that even after a spectacular early breakout (Andreescu's US Open win at 19), a multi-year slump does not preclude a comeback—but the timeline is far longer than typical crypto cycle expectations (4 years peak-to-peak).

Bianca Andreescu won the US Open at age 19, defeating Serena Williams, then experienced a gap of over 2,300 days before her next tournament victory.
