No it doesn't. It has been several years since that was true. Big jumps these days are 5-10%. The recent drop during the BCH pump and dump didn't even get to 25% in day. I would encourage you to consult charts, as most of those memes are out of date.

3 days ago till now was a 25% jump in price. I was on record saying it was a good idea to buy in at $5800: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15679776 it's currently $7200.

And 60 days ago I said to buy in at $3k: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15259134

After Bitcoin crashes, it's always a good idea to buy.

A 25% fluctuation is still the norm. Sure, it takes 3 days rather than 1 day, but it's not mistaken.
