Bitcoin Crash to $85,000 Signals Shift in Market Narrative

Bitcoin is trading around $85,000, and Jeff Park from ProCap BTC suggests that the recent drop may signify a shift in market dynamics. He argues that the traditional four-year cycle, based on halving events, is losing relevance due to new demand factors.

Key Points:

  • The four-year cycle anchored in Bitcoin's halving history is becoming obsolete as institutional demand changes the market rhythm.
  • A significant number of investors still believe in the four-year cycle, potentially making it self-fulfilling due to their market influence.
  • Park suggests that a weak year-end could be beneficial, breaking the cycle and allowing for a new "super cycle" driven by institutional risk appetite.
  • He humorously notes that a negative year-end in 2025 would officially break the four-year cycle narrative.
  • Park prefers either a significant upward move or a small loss to eliminate reliance on the outdated cycle.

At the time of reporting, BTC was priced at $84,469.
