- Raoul Pal declares the end of the 4-year bull cycle.
- Instead, he states that this bull cycle will be a 5–year cycle.
- He expects a parabolic surge for the crypto market soon.
The latest crypto bull cycle should have ended in October based on the reigning 4-year bull cycle that dictated the previous years since Bitcoin debuted. Presently, most analysts are bearish based on his 4-year cycle blueprint. Amidst the rising discussions, Raoul Pal declares the end of the 4-year bull cycle and expects a parabolic price surge for the entire crypto market soon, likely starting with BTC.
Raoul Pal Declares the End of the 4-Year Bull Cycle
The recent bull cycle has left most traders and analysts stumped, as historical data suggests a pattern, and in this cycle, the pattern was largely deviated. To highlight, this bull cycle began with BTC setting a new ATH before the Bitcoin Halving event took place, a first for the asset. Next, when in Q1, the cycle altseason pump phase was expected, the market saw a brutal correction instead.
What’s more, throughout the cycle, only a handful of altcoins went on to hit new ATH prices, these include FET, SUI, ONDO, SOL, BNB, and finally, ETH. The fact that ETH set an ATH at the end was baffling, considering that in previous cycles, ETH is the altcoin that leads the altseason and propelled the prices of other altcoins after setting new ATHs of its own and entering price discovery, much like Bitcoin did.
What the crypto community saw instead was one very minor new ATH price for ETH, no altseason so far this bull cycle, and BTC price declining steadily, leading to the call for a strong bear market in play. Many analysts were certain that the price of BTC would not hit a new ATH price until the end of the next year. This expectation is now being challenged s other popular analysts call for the end of the 4-year bull cycle.
As we can see from the post above, this popular crypto analyst and financial expert, Raoul Pal, declares the 4-year bull cycle is now dead. As he goes on to explain in the video, he analyses Bitcoin’s price action with the business cycle structure. He also talks about rate cuts and states that rates must come down. Ultimately, his video concludes that this year’s crypto bull cycle has turned into a 5-year bull cycle.
Parabolic Surge for Crypto Soon
According to the charts shared in the video, the expert calls for a cycle top well into 2026, likely in Q2. The responses to the post chime in with observations of their own, drawing attention to liquidity flow, and stating that it is the liquidity that determines the length of this bull cycle. One statement says that the 4-year cycle is not dead, just that liquidity is hitting at a different time than expected.
