For over a decade, $BTC followed a clear cycle:
four years up, one year down.
2025 broke that pattern, closing –6.28% despite strong highs.
Markets evolve. Cycles don’t disappear, they change.
What mattered before won’t always matter next.
2026 is the year where Bitcoin’s cycle matures and adoption quietly leads the market.
