four year cycle crypto

The term "four year cycle crypto" refers to a pattern observed in the cryptocurrency market—especially with Bitcoin—where price movements and market sentiment tend to follow roughly a four-year cycle. This cycle is largely tied to Bitcoin’s halving event, which occurs approximately every four years and reduces the block reward miners receive by half. The halving decreases the rate at which new bitcoins are created, reducing supply growth. Historically, this event has often led to a period of rising prices (a bull market), followed by a market peak, correction, and then an accumulation phase before the next halving. This cyclical pattern influences the broader crypto market, as many altcoins tend to follow Bitcoin’s overall market trends.
