đĽBitcoinâs 4-Year Cycle: Dead⌠or Just Evolving? đ§
đFebruary 2026 shook the market.
$BTC crashed to $60K on Feb 5, then snapped back above $68Kâand suddenly the oldest debate in crypto is back.
Are Bitcoinâs legendary 4-year cycles over?
For years, the rhythm was clear:
âď¸ Halving â Supply shock â Mania â Crash â Reset
But todayâs Bitcoin isnât the same beast.
đ Whatâs changed?
⢠Spot ETFs absorbing supply
⢠Institutions replacing retail-only hype
⢠Deeper liquidity, slower moves
⢠Macro now matters more than memes
Some say the cycle is deadâBitcoin is maturing into a long-term, lower-volatility asset.
Others say itâs aliveâand this feels eerily like past mid-cycle shakeouts designed to break conviction.
History lesson:
Every cycle looks âdifferentâ⌠until it rhymes.
The question isnât if cycles exist anymore.
Itâs whether theyâve stretched, softened, or disguised themselves.
â ď¸ Volatility isnât gone.
đ§ Psychology isnât gone.
âł And Bitcoin has never skipped a halving impactâever.
2026 wonât tell us the answer in headlines.
Itâll reveal it slowly⌠through patience.
Cycles donât die.
They evolve. đ
