A few days ago, I specifically consulted a veteran in the crypto community:

Does the “four-year cycle” rule of the crypto market still work nowadays?

The answer was quite pragmatic—the cyclical nature does still exist, but don’t expect to just copy the past and win effortlessly. Based on the current situation, there’s a significant chance we’ll enter a bear market in 2026.

I suggest everyone prepare for the winter in advance. The biggest risk in this market is getting too emotionally involved. Once you treat your holdings as a belief, you’re basically set up to be harvested. Stay calm—take profits when necessary, sit on the sidelines when needed, and don’t let your emotions hijack your wallet.
