🧠BITCOIN CYCLE THEORY: DEAD OR JUST EVOLVING?
May 9, 2025 — Crypto Twitter loves a redemption arc, and today we’ve got a live one. Ki Young Ju, one of the most followed on-chain analysts, officially admits his mistake: “I was wrong. The bull cycle isn’t over.”
And the market? It’s loving the honesty — and the reality behind it.
Let’s break it down.
In the good old days, Bitcoin’s rhythm was easy to follow. Big whales, miners, and excited retail traders played a predictable game of hot potato. Whales sold into retail euphoria, retail ran out of steam, and boom — market crash. Simple. Brutal. Predictable.
But 2025 isn’t your granddad’s Bitcoin market.
This cycle is different. Why?
— ETFs are flooding the market with fresh institutional money.
— Titans like MicroStrategy and even government agencies are sniffing around BTC.
— Old whales don’t control the narrative anymore — Wall Street does.
And here’s the kicker: even with whales selling, inflows from ETFs and institutions are now powerful enough to absorb that pressure. The sell-off waves we used to fear? They’re being countered by a tsunami of institutional liquidity.
Does that mean it’s a bull run guaranteed? Not exactly.
Ki Young Ju calls it a “liquidity absorption phase.” The market isn’t sprinting yet, but it’s certainly not collapsing. Price action looks bullish, but profit-taking cycles are muddy. New liquidity is unpredictable, and no one really knows when the next big leg up will start.
So, is the classic Bitcoin profit cycle dead? Or just evolving into something Wall Street-sized and impossible to predict?
To the #AMAGE community:
Has Bitcoin become too big for old trading models to work? Or is this just the calm before an institutional storm that’ll send BTC beyond anyone’s wildest predictions?
Let’s hear your take. Are you positioned for what’s next — or still playing by the old rules?
