🧠 Bitcoin Cycles Still Matter — But They Don’t Control the Market Anymore
For years, Bitcoin was easy to explain.
📆 Halving every 4 years
📈 Price expands
📉 Then a deep correction
🔁 Repeat
That model worked… until market structure changed.
🔍 What’s different this time?
Bitcoin is no longer just a retail-driven asset.
Today we have:
• 📊 Spot ETFs
• 🏦 Institutional flows
• 🌍 Macro liquidity cycles
• 💳 Credit conditions & rates
These forces distort a clean 4-year cycle.
Halving still matters —
but it’s no longer the main driver.
❗ The dangerous assumption
Many forecasts say:
“BTC will drop to 30–40K because that’s what cycles do.”
That’s risky thinking.
📉 If BTC ever revisits 30–40K,
it won’t be because of cycle math.
It will be because of liquidity stress.
💧 Liquidity > Time
Markets don’t crash on calendars.
They crash when liquidity breaks.
Ask better questions 👇
• Are rates staying higher for longer?
• Is credit tightening spreading?
• Do ETFs turn from net buyers to net sellers?
• Does macro risk force forced selling?
🧠 These decide price — not halving dates.
⚖️ So how should traders think now?
Instead of predicting when something happens,
focus on where and why.
📌 Key levels matter more than timelines
📌 Structure > narratives
📌 Liquidity > cycles
🧩 Final thought
Bitcoin cycles aren’t dead.
They’re just no longer sufficient on their own.
The real edge today is understanding
when liquidity supports price — and when it disappears.
🗳️ Your view (1 sentence):
Are we currently pricing
A) the halving
B) or a liquidity contraction?
