For over a decade, crypto investors have relied on an almost immutable rule: Bitcoin’s<\/a> four-year cycle<\/strong>. The strategy was simple: accumulate during bear markets<\/strong>, wait for the Halving, take profits during the bull run\u2014to the point where it resembled a genuine “financial cheat code.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, Lark Davis<\/strong>, a recognized figure in technical analysis<\/strong>, is calling this model into question. The history of financial markets<\/strong> shows that when a pattern becomes too obvious and widely followed, it often ends up breaking. Bitcoin<\/a><\/strong> may not escape this logic, with the market punishing collective complacency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This doubt is reinforced by several major anomalies<\/strong> in the current cycle. The most striking remains the achievement of a new all-time high<\/strong> even before the Halving, driven by the explosion of Spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/strong> in the United States. This break from the classic chronology introduced a phase of distribution and retracement<\/strong> where many expected an immediate bullish continuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
