đ¨ The Death of the 4-Year Cycle? đ vs đ
Is the Bitcoin âHalving Cycleâ finally broken? For a decade, we could summarize it like this: pump after halving, crash two years later. But 2026 is shaping up to be totally different.
Hereâs the lay of the land between the Traditional Cycle and the Super-Cycle:
đĄď¸ The Case for the âSuper-Cycleâ (The Bull View)
Institutional Floor: We donât have Spot ETFs in 2022. Grayscale and Bitwise claim institutional liquidity is âdampeningâ the crash.
The âSaylorâ Effect: Corporate treasuries and even nation-states are accumulating Bitcoin. Theyâre not trading the cycle; theyâre holding for decades.
Macro Liquidity: Tom Lee and other analysts believe that the global debt and debasement of currencies are creating a macroeconomic super-cycle where the price of Bitcoin will only go up in the long run.
â ď¸ The Case for the âTraditional Resetâ (The Bear View)
Defying History: 2025 is the first year since the halving in 14 years that has finished red for some periods. This defies history and may cause a delayed but strong correction.
Technical Exhaustion: The Elliott Wave crowd believes that the five-wave up from the 2022 lows is complete. If so, a 75% reset may still be in the cards by late 2026.
The Yield Factor: If the Fed prolongs higher rates, the attractiveness of Bitcoin as a non-yield asset may wane in comparison to traditional bonds.
đ The âOn-Chain
Despite the fear, Exchange Supply just made a 7-year low. Whales arenât selling; theyâre transferring BTC to cold storage. This supply squeeze could spark a final 2026 blow-off top to $150k+.
đĄ My Take: We are transitioning from âHalving-drivenâ growth to âLiquidity-drivenâ growth. The cycle is not dead; it is just evolving. Get ready for less volatility, but also less easy 10x gains.
