Two things about Bitcoin never seem to change:
1. The 4 year cycle
2. People expecting the 4 year cycle to die
The strange decline and sideways price action early in the bull market year hasn't derailed the Halving Cycles Theory one bit.
I don't side with thinking that the bull run will extend into the year of the bear market (Orange Year 2026).
I also don't think institutions, ETFs, etc, will carry Bitcoin up and to infinity, which is a pipe dream that appears each and every cycle.
My vote is on the same old same old that got us to where we are.
Cycle Top Echo High expected August - September 2025 (important)
