Glassnode: Bitcoin's current bear market has deviated from the "4-year cycle," reducing the likelihood of a deep decline
PANews, September 23: Glassnode published a report stating that as time progresses, it appears increasingly unlikely for the current market phase to experience a decline of the same depth seen in previous cycles. The "4-year cycle" pattern in Bitcoin, which the market previously relied upon, has not manifested in the current bear market. Data shows that drawdowns in the past three cycles were more than twice the magnitude of the current one, and there were still weeks remaining before reaching cycle lows. In contrast, BTC has currently declined by approximately 30% from its all-time high, and prices are recovering.
Glassnode states that it appears increasingly unlikely for the later stages of the current market to experience a decline of the same depth as previous cycles.
02
The Bitcoin "4-year cycle" pattern has not been reflected in the current bear market.
03
The drawdowns in the past three cycles were all more than twice the magnitude of the current cycle, and there are still several weeks until the cycle low.
04
BTC in this cycle has declined by only approximately 30% from its all-time high, and the price is currently recovering.
AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Glassnode means that the current Bitcoin decline is smaller than in the past three cycles, and the price action has not clearly followed the "4-year cycle" pattern.
Why it matters to readers
If this assessment holds, the reference value of inferring significant declines based on historical cycles may decrease.
A "drawdown" refers to a price decline from a peak; the text notes that BTC has fallen approximately 30% from its all-time high in this cycle.
Risks and unknowns
The text uses qualifiers such as "appears" and "decreased likelihood," without confirming that a deep decline will not occur in the future.
It is not possible to confirm the specific data range and calculation methods cited by Glassnode based solely on this text.
