📉📈 Bitwise CEO: Bitcoin’s Four-Year Cycle Is Breaking — 2026 Remains Undefined

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley shared new insights suggesting that Bitcoin’s traditional four-year cycle may no longer apply.

🧠 Key Points from Horsley’s Analysis

1️⃣ Common belief: Investors expect a downturn in 2026, following the historical 4-year pattern.

2️⃣ First-order effect: To avoid that “expected” downturn, many plan to sell in 2025.

3️⃣ Second-order effect: Heavy selling in 2025 could cause 2025 itself to become a down year — breaking the cycle.

4️⃣ Third-order effect: With the pattern disrupted, 2026 is no longer defined, and the four-year cycle loses its predictive power.

Horsley emphasized that the four-year model belongs to the old era of crypto. With the rise of Bitcoin ETFs, new market participants, and new trading behaviors, the market structure has fundamentally changed.

He also noted that crypto may have already gone through a six-month bear phase — and that the bear market could be ending soon.
