The traditional four-year cycle narrative has lost its predictive power. What once held true for ISM manufacturing data, copper, and gold—the reliable four-year pattern that traders relied on—has now broken down.



That shift matters. 2025 could become the year crypto truly decouples from those legacy market rhythms. While conventional assets are stuck replaying outdated playbooks, digital assets may finally write their own script. The question isn't whether cycles exist anymore. It's whether we're looking at the wrong cycles entirely.

The four-year cycle is broken? Really? Then all the charts I've been looking at these years were for nothing.

Has the four-year cycle collapsed? So what cycle are we looking at now? That's the real question.

Has the four-year cycle collapsed? Then why are we still looking at the candlestick charts?

If the four-year cycle is going to collapse, let it collapse. Anyway, the traditional financial system should have been thrown into the trash heap long ago.

It should have been recognized earlier that traditional cycle theory was bound to become invalid after the macro environment changed.
