The $64 Million Question - Where Are We In The 4 Year Cycle?
2020 seems very bullish but it is actually only at the FLAT stage of the 4 year cycle.
If you look at the opening price of each year you can find which part of the 4 year cycle we're in.

Of course 2021 and onward is just a linear projection of prior years, and the ratios will decrease. However if the ratios stay the same it would theoretically be $64 million/BTC by 2030. If anything I think that means the 4 year cycle will break down long before 2030 and become irrelevant.
However this is still very important, in particular planning out how to trade the upcoming halvening event. The fact that we are in a flat year means there isn't actually a huge reason to get super aggressive about getting right back into cryptos if the miners dump their holdings after the halvening and cause a mini depression. Instead since it's not going to be a super bull market until 2022 means you have probably all of the end of the summer and maybe into fall to rebuild a good position.
I do think the end of year strategy will be to BUY on december 31 and having a position before then will be great to hold through the SUPERBULL stage of 2022. These are only yearly opening prices and the highs for the year could go past them. We could actually see $100k/BTC in 2021 which would actually be before the superbull market the following year.

Comment:
Actually 2012 was not really a flat year entirely but the halvening did cause it to flatten out for a while, the cycles when BTC 1st started were going much faster than 4 years and now they're starting to slow down a little.
