CZ Predicts Bitcoin Super-Cycle in 2026, Breaking Historic Pattern

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao expects Bitcoin (#BTC) to enter a "super-cycle" in 2026, potentially breaking its historic four-year pattern of price peaks and crashes. Zhao attributes this to pro-crypto policy shifts in the United States that could disrupt Bitcoin's established market rhythm. He emphasized the impact of the changing regulatory landscape on Bitcoin prices.

Traditional Four-Year Cycle

  • Bitcoin's cycles are tied to halving events that reduce mining rewards and supply.
  • These cycles typically produce all-time highs followed by significant corrections.
  • Zhao believes 2026 will break this cycle due to global pro-crypto sentiment.

Current Market Conditions

  • Bitcoin is trading around $90,866 after retreating from a $97,000-$98,000 peak.
  • The technical outlook is bearish, with BTC below key EMA lines.
  • Critical support level is $88,000; a break could lead to further declines.
  • Upside requires reclaiming $93,000 to shift momentum back to buyers.
