- Citibank says BTC and ETH run will continue well through late 2026.
- If this is true, then the 4-year bull cycle pattern may go obsolete.
- How much further can crypto pump this year and next?
As the crypto community awaits an already heavily delayed altseason, talks about the 4-year bull cycle going obsolete are gaining more traction. So far, many industry experts have been sharing a similar thought that the 4-year bull cycle pattern is no longer in play. This would explain why Citibank says BTC and ETH run will continue well through late 2026, as the 4-year bull cycle pattern could break.
Citibank Says BTC and ETH Run Will Continue Well Through Late 2026
The crypto bull cycle this year has been slightly different compared to previous bull cycles, leading analysts to come to the conclusion that the 4-year bull cycle pattern that governed every bull cycle before the current ongoing bull cycle is no longer in play. Does this mean this pump model is obsolete? Some financial experts believe BTC and crypto could switch to a yearly pump pattern like stocks going forward.
As we can see from the post above, a Citibank representative says on a segment on CNBC news that BTC and ETH will continue to perform well through late 2026. The video shows a short clip, as we can see from the post, the representative confirms the reporter’s question of whether the price of BTC and ETH will continue to rise until the end of next year. On that, the representative confirms it.
The representative says that the Citibank team believes that crypto has a very aggressive momentum-driven equity market, and it looks like investors are not looking to miss out on the gains that have been made so far. The representative talks about gold and crypto as promising markets for traders and investors and explores the hedging opportunity that is currently available to the public.
Responses to the post include comments that highlight how institutional confidence boosts crypto legitimacy, but macro risks still warrant cautious allocation. Another says that the outlook aligns perfectly with macro trends. When equity momentum runs hot and central banks keep accumulating hard assets, crypto usually rides the same liquidity wave. Lastly, one comment says that Citibank spotting the rhythm shows how institutional thinking has matured by treating Bitcoin and Ethereum as structural hedges within global market cycles.
4-Year Bull Cycle Pattern Coming to an End
The post above confirms that a CNBC news segment says Bitcoin’s latest surge has created 70,000 crypto millionaires over the past year. If the 4-year bull cycle is truly over, then the chances of huge profit-taking and asset selling may not be as aggressive as in past years. Instead, the price of BTC, ETH, and promising altcoins may experience an explosive upward price surge instead.
