🔥Breaking $BTC "Four-Year Cycle" Debate Intensifies After $125K Peak
Bitcoin's recent run to $125,000 has sparked a major debate: Is this the start of a prolonged bull market, or the end of a halving cycle signaling a downturn?
The Bear Case (Cycle Theory):
Jurrien Timmer of Fidelity suggests Bitcoin may have peaked for this cycle on October 6th and could be entering a "winter" phase lasting about a year. He sees potential support between $65K-$75K in 2026.
The Bull Case (Fundamental Growth):
Tom Shaughnessy of Delphi Digital expects new all-time highs in 2026, driven by regulatory progress and industry maturation. Policy experts also predict a pivotal year for U.S. crypto legislation.
Market Sentiment Check:
Despite the bull case, current sentiment has soured:
BTC recently fell below $85K, sparking bearish social media chatter.
"Smart money" traders are reportedly taking short positions on BTC but remain net long on $ETH
Bottom Line:
The market is at a crossroads between historical patterns and new fundamental drivers. Which force will win in 2026?
Do you side with the cycle theorists or the fundamentals bulls?
