Bitcoin Cycles Still Alive?

A crypto executive explained that although the bitcoin four-year cycle might not unfold exactly as before, the idea is still active because emotional behavior drives markets. He said the likelihood of seeing some kind of cycle remains strong, since investors become overly enthusiastic and then the market falls before reaching balance again. He mentioned that institutional involvement could soften volatility, but bitcoin patterns persist because emotions influence decisions. Analysts continue to argue about whether the bitcoin four-year structure still applies. Some data firms claim that current price movement may still follow earlier halvings connected to bitcoin history. One analyst suggested that if previous timing repeats, the peak could arrive soon, similar to the last cycle about 550 days after the halving event. He said the window for price expansion is narrow. Recently, the price of bitcoin rose sharply in a short period, approaching a previous all-time high. Another expert believes the price may not strictly copy old patterns of bitcoin performance. He predicted that 2026 could be a strong year and added that several coming years might be promising for bitcoin investors. Historical records show that the fourth quarter has often been the strongest period since 2013 for bitcoin, with high average returns, reinforcing the belief that bitcoin cycles may continue in some form even if they evolve.
