Bitcoin Halving Cycle May Shift to Longer Six-to-Eight Year Cycle

Bitcoin's long-standing four-year halving cycle may be shifting to a longer six-to-eight-year cycle, according to on-chain analyst Willy Woo.

This change could significantly impact token performance and timing expectations, as BTC is increasingly driven by traditional financial debt and liquidity conditions.

The traditional view held that Bitcoin's price movements were tied to the four-year halving cycle, but this pattern has been rejected in recent times. In fact, Willy Woo suggests that the blockchain is now more influenced by external market forces than protocol-driven halvings alone.
