The Bitcoin Bear on Schedule: Rethinking the 2025–2026 Cycle Structure
The Bitcoin bear market has arrived with clinical precision, adhering to its historical four-year cadence. However, while the timing feels familiar, the internal plumbing of the market has undergone a radical transformation.
The second edition of The Bitcoin Checkpoint report by Checkonchain and Unchained reveals a startling reality: the rules of the previous cycles have been rewritten. If you are waiting for a "traditional" bottom, you might be looking at the wrong metrics.
