Bitcoin’s Halving Cycle May No Longer Apply, Says Analyst

A prominent cryptocurrency analyst suggests that Bitcoin's traditional four-year halving cycle may no longer be relevant.

Jack Sparrow argues that investors are overly dependent on historical price trends linked to Bitcoin’s halving events. He believes Bitcoin has reached a stage of maturation that could render previous patterns obsolete.

Sparrow notes that the introduction of ETFs and Bitcoin futures, starting with CME in 2018, marked a significant shift. He predicts that Bitcoin’s old behavioral cycle will conclude around April, shortly after the launch of these financial products and as the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) arbitrage comes to an end.

As Bitcoin evolves, Sparrow expects its price movements to diverge significantly from past cycles. He anticipates that future price trends will be driven more by Bitcoin’s viability as a technology and its real-world applications rather than mere speculation.

Sparrow compares the future behavior of Bitcoin to that of stocks, where major investors may cause market fluctuations to acquire more BTC at lower prices. He emphasizes that new market cycles typically begin with accumulation phases and warns that large players might manipulate the market to obtain Bitcoin.

September is highlighted as a critical month for Bitcoin’s price direction. According to Sparrow, this period will be crucial in determining whether Bitcoin will experience a bullish or bearish trend moving forward. He suggests that Bitcoin must hold the $61,000 level to maintain a positive trajectory, with this level likely to be tested again.
