Given the pessimism and oversold conditions in Bitcoin, two weeks ago I mentioned in the weekly compass that it was time to consider the four-year cycle, back then the price was below the 200 weekly average while still above $62,7K, the last line of defense considering monthly levels. The recent breakout is especially important since 2026 is part of the worst-performing year in a cycle that has been in play for over 15 years. Today, we are going to cover a special market intelligence study on this four-year cycle so that investors and traders can become familiar with this essential concept, which is also tied to a fundamental driver outlined in today’s study.

Afterward, we will discuss NVIDIA’s earnings and the preliminary market reaction, followed by a general market update. Unlock this content by upgrading to the paid plan.
