📈 The 4-year Bitcoin cycle is likely early, not over

🕯 Bitcoin’s past cycles worked because they aligned with the business cycle. Major rallies in 2013, 2017, and 2021 all happened during economic expansions, not before them.

⚡️ This time, the business cycle hasn’t really begun. PMIs are still weak and growth remains constrained after aggressive tightening.

If Bitcoin now trades as a macro asset, that implies upside may still lie ahead. Without a full expansion phase, there’s little reason to assume the cycle has already peaked.
