Will Liquidity or the Four-Year Cycle Drive the Next Crypto Peak?

After emphasizing the importance of waiting for a major bull run in crypto trading, Michael posed a critical question to the crypto community: Will liquidity or the four-year cycle drive the next crypto peak?

In investing in #Crypto, you're basically waiting for that big run to hit.
The question is: will we have a four-year cycle peak next year or is it depending on liquidity?
In the latter case, it might be a very understandable situation that we're having a prolonged bull.

The Four-Year Crypto Cycle Pattern Explained

Whether considering Bitcoin or Ethereum, the crypto market usually performs better in the third year of its four-year cycle compared to other years. In Bitcoin, the market recorded a +5,435% return in 2013, and a +1,369% return in 2017. For Ethereum, the market reported a +9,380% return in 2017. Considering the trend, there is nothing wrong in expecting a massive uptrend in the third year of the present cycle: 2025. The Bitcoin and Ethereum markets registered returns of +155.4% and +90.8% respectively in 2023. This year, so far, Bitcoin has marked a return of +63.5%, and Ethereum has achieved a return of +20%.

What If Liquidity is the Key Driver?

The crypto expert pointed out the possibility that liquidity could become the key driver for the growth of the crypto market. He suggested that if liquidity is the dominant force, it is more likely that we will see a prolonged crypto bull market, rather than a sharp peak.

Is the next Altcoin Bull Run near? What Expert Says

Michel predicted that a bull run will begin in the Altcoin market soon, marking the end of the current bear market – the longest ever experienced.

This is the longest #Altcoin bear market we've experienced.
Longer than the 2014-2016 period and you're still here.
That's great, as the bull market is around the corner and this will likely exceed your expectations.
