The crypto market has experienced a turbulent period since Q4 2025. At that time, Bitcoin (BTC) reached an all-time high in the $126,000 range, followed by the largest single-day liquidity loss in history, erasing approximately $2 billion. This loss encompassed leveraged trading, long and short positions, leading some experts to label it a brief crypto winter.
This theory aligns with expectations that the crypto market may enter an annual cycle similar to stocks, a viewpoint raised by experts even before the bull market cycle began. While some insist that the four-year bull market cycle is still ongoing, others point to a potential five-year supercycle that could lead to significant restructuring in the future. As various theories emerge, experts continue to scrutinize crypto price charts for possibilities.
Bitcoin Successfully Navigates Major Turbulence
According to a crypto expert, the ongoing bull market is nearly confirmed. This aligns with the views of leaders like Tom Lee, who believe that a brief crypto winter will occur, further fueling the bull market reaction, with expectations of new all-time highs by the end of this year. This also corresponds with the five-year bull market cycle theory that is gaining traction among more and more well-known crypto analysts.
As mentioned, the expert elaborated on the reasons he believes the bull market will persist. The primary reason he emphasized is that Bitcoin has successfully navigated a significant turbulent period, comparing the current BTC price chart with that of 2022. A side-by-side comparison shows similar price patterns on these charts, suggesting that BTC's price could see a substantial increase before the year ends.
