Glassnode Co-Founder: The “Four-Year Cycle” Has Become Obsolete, Bitcoin Is Evolving Into a Mature Asset Driven by Macro Liquidity
Glassnode co-founder Negentropic wrote that the “four-year cycle” is no longer valid. Bitcoin is evolving; as the asset matures, it becomes more stable, less volatile, and more integrated into global macro investment portfolios. This is not a flaw but a feature.
The larger and more robust an asset, the less it is affected by structural supply factors (such as halving, miner sell pressure, issuance shocks) and more influenced by liquidity, credit cycles, and macro trends.
Most people in the crypto market still think within outdated models. Once a narrative becomes a consensus, it ceases to be effective. Market makers use this consensus as a weapon, which is the easiest way to clear uninformed traders.
The “four-year cycle” is the most widely adopted paradigm in crypto history, and because of that, it has become a perfect tool to target retail investors. The cycle still exists.
Cathie Wood Lowers Bitcoin Price Target for 2030 to $1.2 Million
ARK Invest founder and CEO Cathie Wood adjusted her long-term outlook for Bitcoin, lowering her 2030 price target by $300,000. Specifically, she now expects this leading global cryptocurrency to reach about $1.2 million, down from her previous forecast of $1.5 million.
Wood said that the rise of stablecoins prompted her to lower her bullish outlook for Bitcoin. However, she still views Bitcoin as an important part of the digital economy.
Despite the downward revision, Wood remains confident in Bitcoin. She describes it as a global, decentralized monetary network, functioning as a store of value similar to gold.
She also pointed out that stablecoins and Bitcoin serve very different purposes. Stablecoins are essentially “tokenized cash,” while Bitcoin remains a scarce, non-sovereign asset suitable for long-term wealth preservation.
Santiment: Major Divergence Between Bitcoin Whales and Retail Investors Is a Warning Signal
According to Santiment, while Bitcoin whales are selling, retail investors are buying heavily. If history is any guide, this pattern could signal trouble for Bitcoin’s price.
In a market report on Saturday, Santiment said, “Historically, prices tend to follow whales’ movements rather than retail investors.” Since October 12, whale wallets holding 10 to 10,000 BTC have sold about 32,500 BTC. However, Santiment added, “small retail wallets have been actively buying on dips.”
Santiment considers this divergence among different groups a “warning signal.”
Data from CoinMarketCap shows that during this period, Bitcoin’s price fell from $115,000 to $98,000 on November 4, a decline of about 15%. At the time of this writing, Bitcoin has rebounded to $103,780.
