Regarding Bitcoin trends, our analysis has never been fixated on the four-year cycle theory. This kind of cyclical prediction framework has been outside our consideration since last year. Each market cycle has its own temperament, and comparing past cycles to the current one is honestly quite unreliable.



That said, the data currently in front of us is quite interesting. The price performance in previous cycles surprisingly repeats itself in this cycle.

Specifically, Bitcoin tends to surge after halving, reaching a peak around the 80th week post-halving. After that, it begins to decline, breaking below the weekly SMA. Historically, this has always been the case, with the following months seeing a continuous decline. Each cycle also tends to retest this level—this cycle is likely to do so as well. Although a retest hasn't occurred yet in this cycle, considering the recent 3-day divergence between Bitcoin and the index, the probability of a retest still exists.

There's a rather strange pattern: peak at 80 weeks after halving, then a 12-month bear market, followed by a macro bottom around the 135th week post-halving. Historically, this signals a long-term buying opportunity. Based on this logic, Q4 2026 could be a critical low point.

Of course, we will continue to rely on technical indicators for judgment and not be entirely bound by historical patterns. But since this pattern has been precisely replicated throughout the entire cycle, it's worth paying more attention to. Tracking the TV indicator (Bitcoin halving cycle profit) can provide valuable insights.

ngl the 80-week peak pattern hitting again is just *chef's kiss* for the correlation matrix nerds like us. but honestly? calling q4 2026 a "key bottom" without running a proper stochastic regime analysis feels... optimistic. where's the regime shift confirmation tho

Peak at 80 weeks and then crash? Bottom in Q4 of 2026? Feels like this time it's really coming.

The 80-week top pattern has some substance; history really tends to repeat itself. --- To bottom out in Q4 2026, we first need to survive this year's bear market, my friend. --- The 3-day divergence detail is spot on; the re-test probability is indeed quite high. --- Not being bound by history, but relying on indicators to speak—that's the right attitude. --- Hey, this 135-week bottoming data, feels a bit like metaphysics. --- TV indicator needs to be watched carefully; otherwise, it might just be a chaotic dump again. --- The 80-week precise reproduction—this cycle feels like this time is truly different. --- The bottoming opportunity in 2026? Then I need to protect my principal first. --- The halving cycle profit indicator is worth a deep dive.

Peak at 80 weeks and then crash? This time it feels like a retest, the divergence on the 3rd day already happened.

Peak at 80 weeks and then start crashing? Damn, it's time to prepare for a bottom again. Mark it down for Q4 2026.

Top at 80 weeks? I feel like this time is different; the indices are already diverging.
