Bitcoin just smashed its long-standing historical cycle playbook. Here's what changed.

For years, the pattern was rock solid: three consecutive green yearly closes, then one red year. Rinse and repeat. Classic cycle.

But 2024 flipped the script. We're only seeing two green yearly closes before hitting red. That's different from the textbook playbook.

So here's the question everyone's asking: Are the four-year cycles dead? Is Bitcoin's market structure shifting into something new?

The data suggests things might not be as predictable as they once were. Whether that's a temporary blip or a genuine structural change in how Bitcoin cycles operate—that's the million-dollar debate right now.
