\u201cThe old money flow cycle is breaking,\u201d crypto trader \u2018Koroush AK\u2019 told his 376,000 X followers on Wednesday, referring to the previous pattern of money rotating from Bitcoin to Ether and then to altcoins.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow we have to navigate isolated mini-cycles where only some sectors pump while others get left behind,\u201d he added<\/a>.<\/p>\n The flow<\/a> from BTC to ETH is the same, but now \u201csectors only pump when money and attention overlap,\u201d he said before adding, \u201cIf either one is missing, that sector gets skipped.\u201d<\/p>\n He used Chainlink (LINK) as an example of a token that pumped<\/a> from Ether\u2019s run instead of Uniswap (UNI), which was largely ignored.<\/p>\n If this theory is accurate, it could also change the four-year cycle, which has traditionally been anchored around Bitcoin halving events.<\/p>\n Earlier this week, analyst James Check opined<\/a> that \u201cBitcoin has experienced three cycles, and they are not anchored around the halvings,\u201d adding that they are anchored around the \u201ctrends in adoption and market structure,\u201d with the market\u2019s 2017 peak and 2022 bottom being the transition points.<\/p>\n He said that there have been three cycles so far: an \u201cadoption cycle\u201d from 2011 to 2018, an \u201cadolescence cycle\u201d from 2018 to 2022, and the current \u201cmaturity cycle,\u201d which is driven by \u201cinstitutional maturity and stability.\u201d<\/p>\n Hedge fund veteran \u201cPlanC\u201d said<\/a> on Thursday that there is a \u201c99% chance stock-to-flow breaks this cycle, and a 50\/50 chance the 4-year cycle breaks.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, trader Bob Loukas said<\/a> it was hard to see which way things would go.<\/p>\n \u201cEither the 4-year cycle has already topped and we\u2019re in heavy distribution as buyers eventually exhaust\u2026 or we\u2019re just weeks away from start of blow-off phase, a fast doubling (or more) over 3-6 months.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this month, Bitwise CIO Matthew Hougan said that gains are likely to continue into 2026, \u201cso let\u2019s say this: I think the 4-year cycle is over.\u201d<\/p>\n Glassnode also said that Bitcoin was still tracking its traditional patterns but added<\/a> this week that recent profit taking and elevated selling pressure \u201csuggests the market has entered a late phase of the cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n In previous ones, crypto markets pulled back<\/a> heavily in the September of the bull market year before recovering and shifting to new highs at the end of the year. If history rhymes, this could be on the cards next month.<\/p>\n In past cycles, Bitcoin marked a major low in September and then rallied for 2-3 months in Q4. pic.twitter.com\/Vw5h9uPk4z<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 apsk32 (@apsk32) August 27, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n Whether the cycle is about to peak or will extend into 2026 remains to be seen, but more voices are favoring the latter due to the heavy institutional participation in crypto markets, which was not seen in previous cycles.<\/p>\n The post Is the Bitcoin Bull Market Cycle Coming to an End?
