What are market cycles?

A market cycle refers to a pattern or repeating trend that happens within a financial market. A bull market followed by a bear market is an example of a market cycle because it's a pattern that has happened many times in the financial markets. There are many different types of market cycles but bull and bear markets are the most common. The length of market cycles will differ and won't necessarily be the same every time. For example, if there is a bull market that lasts 6 months, the next bull market may only last 4.

What are the stages of a market cycle?

Typically, a market cycle will go through four different stages in order; accumulation, uptrend, distribution, downtrend.

1. Accumulation: The accumulation stage happens after prices have hit a bottom. During this, the price has become more stable and investors begin to buy again - they “accumulate”.
2. Uptrend: Then the markup stage happens, where all the buying during the accumulation stage has started to cause the price to increase. This stage usually indicates the start of a bull market.
3. Distribution: Then the distribution stage happens where the price begins to reach its peak, where people start selling.
4. Downtrend: Finally, the downtrend stage happens, where the price has hit its peak and now starts to fall. This is the start of a bear market.


What is the Bitcoin 4 year cycle?

The Bitcoin 4 year cycle is very similar to the 4 stages of a market cycle, explained above. The four stages of the Bitcoin 4 year cycle are; exponential highs, correction, accumulation, and continuation. Although the Bitcoin cycle starts in a different stage, it still happens in the same order as the stages of a market cycle.
