Scaramucci Sees $BTC Bull Run Returning in Q4 2026, Cycle Still Intact


#AnthonyScaramucci, managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, said the current $BTC downturn is consistent with #Bitcoin's historical four-year cycle. He expects prices to begin recovering in the fourth quarter of 2026. Scaramucci made the remarks in an interview with Scott Melker on the Wolf of All Streets podcast.


He attributed part of the decline to #long-term holders selling near the $100,000 price level. That selling, he said, reflects behavior rooted in the four-year cycle framework that has guided many early Bitcoin #investors. "We're in a four-year cycle," Scaramucci said, "and guess what happens in life when you believe in something? You create a self-fulfilling prophecy."


Scaramucci acknowledged that institutional capital and $BTC exchange-traded fund inflows have softened the cycle's swings compared to previous periods. However, he argued that those forces have not erased the underlying pattern entirely. He said choppy price action is likely to continue for most of 2026.


The broader financial backdrop has added to the pressure on $BTC. The price slipped below $69,000 on Saturday as the conflict in Iran stretched into its third week. The S&P 500 fell roughly 1.3% on Friday and closed below its 200-day moving average for the first time in 10 months. Some analysts have pointed to a possible 50% decline in $BTC if its correlation with the S&P 500 index holds through the rest of the year.


Market expectations heading into 2025 had centered on $BTC reaching $150,000, supported by a favorable U.S. regulatory environment and the current administration's #pro-crypto position. The October crash, which pulled the asset from an all-time high of approximately $126,000 to a low of $60,000, dismantled that consensus.
