The Crypto Market Cycle

Hello Wealth Creators!

Today, we're diving into one of the most important topics every crypto investor needs to understand—the Crypto Market Cycle. 

If you’re thinking of investing in crypto or already in the market, knowing where we are in this cycle can help you avoid costly mistakes and maximize your gains. So, should you jump into crypto now, or is it smarter to wait? Let’s break it down!

 What Is the Crypto Market Cycle?

Crypto moves in predictable cycles, typically lasting four years, driven by Bitcoin halvings. This cycle has four major phases: 

Accumulation (Bear Market Bottom)–Prices are low, smart money is buying. 

Expansion (Early Bull Run)–Bitcoin's breakout signals the beginning of an expansion, building confidence for early investors.

Parabolic Growth (Peak Bull Run)–FOMO kicks in, retail investors flood the market. Prices skyrocket. 🚀 

Crash & Bear Market–A massive sell-off happens. Prices can drop 80-90% from the top. 😨 

Right now, we’re in the early bull run phase, which means the market could explode in 2025. But when will this cycle peak?

When Will Crypto Peak in 2025?

Historically, Bitcoin peaks 12-18 months after a halving. The last halving was in April 2024, so the peak could happen between late 2025 and early 2026. 🚀 

Analysts predict Bitcoin could hit anywhere between $150K to $250K in this cycle. If that happens, altcoins could 10X or even 50X. But here’s the catch—once the peak happens, a major crash follows.

What is the typical market downturn that occurs after a bull run?

A brutal bear market follows every bull cycle:

In 2018, Bitcoin dropped 85% from its all-time high. 

In 2022, it fell 77%. 

Altcoins? Many lost 90-99% of their value. 

This means if you buy at the peak, you could be stuck holding a losing bag for years.

Should Newbies Wait or Invest Now? 

If you're new to crypto, here’s the best strategy: 

✔️ Start small. Don’t go all in! Invest in parts, using Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA). 

✔️ Focus on strong projects. Bitcoin and Ethereum should be your core holdings. 

✔️ Be prepared for volatility. Don’t panic-sell when the market dips!

✔️ Take profits. When you see big gains, lock in some profits before the cycle ends. 

Waiting until 2026 to invest? You’ll likely be buying near the bottom of the next bear market, which is great! But if you want to invest now, just manage your risk and don’t chase hype. 

Final Thoughts: Smart Investing in Crypto

• We’re in the early bull phase—there’s still time to invest. 

• Expect the peak in late 2025 or early 2026 

• When the crash comes, the market could drop 70-90%. 

• If you’re a newbie, DCA and take profits instead of going all in. 

Crypto is a game of patience. Play it smart, and you’ll come out ahead!
