Bitcoin Market Cycles

Bitcoin AI

Halvings, bull and bear markets — Bitcoin AI can put the history in context.

Latest cycle

Fifth market cycle

Ongoing — stats update with daily data

Full cycle

Each cycle spans from one bear-market low through the bull peak to the next significant low.

Low-to-low

Cycle lengths range from under 3 to over 4 years, loosely tracking the ~4-year halving cadence.

Peak gain

Gains from cycle low to peak have ranged from hundreds to tens of thousands of percent.

Log scale

Log scale is the default — on linear scale, early cycles barely register against recent prices.

Pattern risk

Cycle length and amplitude have varied; past shape does not imply future timing or magnitude.

Bitcoin Market Cycles

Bitcoin market cycles span roughly four years from bear-market low through bull peak and back toward the next low.

The all-time daily chart marks each cycle start with a coloured vertical line so you can see how full cycles sit on the long-term price curve.
