I was looking at the monthly candles recently and something felt... off. For years, the "four-year cycle" has been our North Star—the holy grail of timing. But as we stare down the barrel of 2026, the usual script is being rewritten in real-time. If the old math holds, 2026 should be a year of heavy correction, a brutal hangover after the halving party. But the charts are telling a different story, and it’s one where the walls between traditional finance and crypto are finally crumbling.
Underneath the surface, the "mechanical" nature of these cycles is changing. What used to be driven by retail mania and exchange liquidations is now being anchored by something much steadier: the institutional floor. In 2024 and 2025, we saw nearly $44 billion in net spot demand from ETFs and corporate treasuries. This isn't "hot money" looking for a 10x in a week; this is foundation-level capital. When you have BlackRock and MicroStrategy holding hundreds of thousands of coins, the "typical" 80% drawdown becomes a much harder sell.
That momentum creates another effect: the death of the "halving" as the only master of the universe. While the supply shock is real, global liquidity (M2 money supply) is becoming a better predictor of where we’re heading. We’re seeing a shift where Bitcoin acts less like a speculative tech stock and more like a "digital bond" or a hedge against fiat debasement. If the Fed continues to ease into 2026, that liquidity could act as a parachute, turning a "heavy correction year" into a period of healthy consolidation between $90,000 and $120,000 rather than a total collapse.
Of course, the risk is always there—leveraged liquidations still haunt the derivatives market, and we saw a glimpse of that in late 2025 when a "liquidity vacuum" wiped out $1.2 trillion in market value almost overnight. But even then, the recovery was earned. The market didn't just bounce; it rebuilt.
What struck me most is that we’re moving away from the "to the moon" or "crash to zero" binary. 2026 might not be the year of the 😱 correction everyone is bracing for, but it won't be a straight line up either. It looks like a grind—a quiet, steady integration into the global financial plumbing.
The 4-year cycle isn't necessarily dead, but it’s definitely matured. We’re no longer trading an experiment; we’re trading the new foundation of value.

Is the 4-year cycle dead? 🧐
Traditional wisdom says 2026 is the "correction year," but with ETFs gobbling up supply and global liquidity rising, the old script is being shredded. We’re seeing more "consolidations" and fewer "crashes."
Key Takeaways for 2026:
Institutional Floor: Spot ETFs are creating a permanent bid that didn't exist in 2018 or 2022.
Liquidity is King: BTC is correlating more with M2 money supply than just halving dates.
The "Grind" Era: Expect a move toward $150k to be a steady climb rather than a vertical moonshot.
Personally, i'm watching that $90k support level like a hawk. If it holds, the "heavy correction" might just be a blip on the radar.
