Bitcoin Could Rally Through 2026 as Four-Year Cycle Theory Dies


#BitWise CIO Matt Hougan predicts 2026 will be an "up year" for $BTC despite traditional cycle expectations.


The four-year halving cycle is becoming "half as important" every cycle, according to the investment executive.


A lower interest rate environment and improving regulations reduce traditional crypto risks.


Institutional adoption is creating "new long-term whales," replacing retail-driven patterns.


$BTC currently trades at $118,169, up 10.17% over the past month.


Treasury company accumulation remains the biggest #cyclical risk for #Bitcoin's price trajectory.


CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju also declared the four-year cycle theory "dead" this week.


Hougan expects a "sustained steady boom" rather than aggressive short-term price movements.
