For over a decade, Bitcoin moved like clockwork. One brutal red year, followed by explosive green years. Traders lived and died by the 4-year cycle. But 2025 just threw a wrench into everything. After +121% in 2024 and +155% in 2023, Bitcoin is now down ~5% in 2025 — a year that was supposed to be part of the euphoric phase. Historically, this timing never failed. Until now. The pattern that fueled generations of Bitcoin narratives is cracking under new forces: ETFs, macro liquidity cycles, institutional positioning, and changing market structure. This doesn’t mean Bitcoin is dead. It means the old playbook might be. When rules break, volatility follows — and so do opportunities for those who adapt first. So… is this the end of predictable cycles — or the beginning of something even bigger? Follow Wendy for more latest updates
