Bitcoin Cycle Theory 'Dead' No More? CryptoQuant Signals Bear Market Reversal

Bitcoin is breaking out of its bear market as giant buyers completely absorb the retail panic.

Skeptics who claimed that the influx of institutional money had destroyed Bitcoin's traditional four-year cycles have once again been proven wrong. The Bitcoin Cycle Momentum on-chain indicator from analytics platform CryptoQuant has entered positive bullish territory for the first time in eight months.

Historically, this signal has accurately marked the end of prolonged downturns, confirming that crypto market cycles still work like clockwork.

For the reversal to be considered fully confirmed, the indicator must consolidate at higher levels in the coming weeks. The foundation is already there: Bitcoin's recent rapid surge from $62,000 to $81,000 pulled the market out of a months-long slumber and triggered a wave of activity.

The current recovery is following the classic cycle-transition scenario: coins are flowing en masse from panicking retail investors to long-term holders. While retail players were realizing losses amid widespread fear, large investors were aggressively buying the bottom.
