The four-year cycle was never some mystical law. It was a market structure. Halvings mattered because miner issuance was large relative to available demand. Retail reflexivity mattered because the market was thinner. Leverage mattered because crypto-native capital dominated.
AI visual note: The image, a Glassnode chart titled "Shorter And Shallower Than The Last Three Bears," compares BTC price drawdowns from all-time highs across the 2013, 2017, 2021, and current cycles, showing the current cycle's drawdown of -30% (highlighted in the "next 90 days" zone) is notably milder than prior bear markets. This visual reinforces the post's argument that the four-year cycle was driven by market structure factors like halvings and retail reflexivity rather than being a fixed law, as the increasingly shallow drawdowns suggest the market's structural drivers are weakening over time.
