Bitcoin's Four-Year Cycle Suggests Recovery is Near

Bitcoin's four-year cycle of boom and bust has been well-documented. The cryptocurrency typically trades in cycles where it experiences three good years followed by one bad year.

The current downturn in Bitcoin's price is not new, as it follows this historical pattern. After hitting an all-time high last October, Bitcoin crashed in value by 50%. However, several high-profile crypto investors, including Cathie Wood and Brian Armstrong, have already called a bottom for the asset.

Furthermore, every Bitcoin bear market appears to be getting shallower over time. The drawdown from peak to trough has decreased from 94% in 2011 to 54% in 2026.

While there is no guarantee that history will continue to repeat itself, the statistical evidence suggests that Bitcoin may be due for a recovery.
