four year crypto cycle

The term **'four year crypto cycle'** refers to a commonly observed pattern in the cryptocurrency market—especially surrounding Bitcoin—where prices and market trends appear to move in roughly four-year intervals. This cycle is largely associated with Bitcoin’s **halving events**, which occur approximately every four years and reduce the block reward given to miners by half. Historically, each halving has led to a reduction in new Bitcoin supply, followed by a bullish (price-rising) phase, then a peak, and subsequently a bear (price-declining) phase before stabilizing and eventually restarting the cycle with the next halving.
