‼️BITWISE PREDICTS THAT BITCOIN WILL BREAK HISTORICAL CYCLE IN 2026🚀
The cryptocurrency asset manager Bitwise released a forecast on December 16, 2025, predicting that Bitcoin will challenge its historical four-year pattern of highs and lows and reach new historical highs in 2026.
Investment Director Matt Hougan argued that traditional cycle drivers are weakening as institutional adoption through exchange-traded funds reshapes market dynamics, marking what the company calls the end of a pattern that has defined Bitcoin's history since its inception.
The forecast comes as Bitcoin is trading around US$ 87.800, down approximately 30% from its historical high of US$ 126.272 reached on October 6, 2025. According to conventional cycle theory, 2026 should be a year of retraction after three years of gains. However, Bitwise expects the cryptocurrency to surpass its previous peak and potentially reach US$ 200.000 by the end of 2026.
