Bitcoin's Four-Year Cycle Points to 2030 Bear Market

Bitcoin's four-year cycle is well-documented in its price movements. The cryptocurrency's value has been known to fluctuate wildly, with boom-and-bust periods becoming less dramatic over time.

In 2022, 2018, and 2014, Bitcoin traded off its previous record during bear markets. This pattern is currently repeating itself, with the digital asset trading 48% below its peak.

However, history suggests that in 2030, Bitcoin won't be trading at or near its all-time high. Instead, it will likely be in a bear market, which typically occurs about two years after a halving event (the next one is expected to occur in 2028).
