Think the four-year Bitcoin cycle might be a thing of the past? Here's why some traders believe the traditional halving-to-peak pattern could be shifting. As institutional adoption grows and market dynamics evolve, the once-predictable rhythm of boom and bust may no longer dictate Bitcoin's moves the same way. Whether this signals a maturing market or just a different cycle pattern is worth watching closely. What's your take—is the old cycle dead, or just dormant? 🚀

The entry of institutions indeed changes the game rules, but I still think the four-year cycle has only mutated, not died.

The four-year cycle should have died long ago; everything changed after institutions entered the market.

Four-year cycle? Laughs. Now big institutions are involved, and the pattern has long been messed up.

The old cycle is dead, and institutions coming in are just disrupting the market rhythm. You'll understand when the next wave of crash happens.

Is the four-year cycle dead? I think once institutions come in, they start playing tricks.

The four-year cycle is dead? I think it's the institutional forces that completely disrupted the rhythm. But honestly, this wave really feels different, not as magical anymore. A mature market just lacks that sense of excitement. The old cycle is dead, it was shattered.
