Bitcoin Long-Term Cycles Show Repeating Patterns
Some traders believe in the four-year cycle theory of Bitcoin. However, The House Of Crypto’s recent analysis reveals some problems with this theory.
According to their research, the bottom prices of Bitcoin in the mid-term years do not align with large economic trends. A longer-term look at 52-week cycles (roughly one year) follows a more consistent pattern.
If we look at charts over several years, the pattern is obvious: rapid, large moves up, followed by long periods of sideways trade or a move down.
In this first chart, the rapid move up in Bitcoin is followed by a return of most of the gains, with the asset finally finding support near a long-term rising trendline.
The trendline has been a backbone where long-term buyers have stepped in to support the asset in each of the downtrends. The same is true in the second and third charts, which show the 52-week cycles in the asset.

Each rapid move up in the charts has been followed by a peak, and then a long-term move down to once again find support near this rising trendline. The most recent chart shows less bullish momentum before the big move down.
Critical Inflection Point Ahead
Bitcoin is close to an important trendline and is resting on long-term support. This has been a buying opportunity to accumulate to start a new up cycle.
However, some analysts are cautioning that if this support is pushed too hard, as some big players are pulling back, or if the market turns down, then the price could start to break down. From a big-picture point of view, there are some bullish signs.
This time last year, or two years ago, liquidity was low, the Fed was shrinking its balance sheet, and the ISM manufacturing index was not as strong as it is now. All these are bullish signs for crypto.
