Bitcoin's recent 30% correction from its October 2025 peak does not indicate a collapse of the traditional four-year cycle, according to Ourcryptotalk. The market is now characterized by a new structure influenced by institutional balance sheets, regulated investment vehicles, and enhanced infrastructure. Unlike previous cycles, the current downturn has not resulted in a 70–90% crash, with Bitcoin's dominance remaining above 58% and ETFs mitigating sell pressure. The article describes a multi-phase liquidity arc, with Bitcoin trading between $85,000 and $110,000, and anticipates altcoin growth in 2026. Institutional accumulation and clearer policy frameworks are transforming risk dynamics, replacing the old cycle's volatility with a more extended and layered market evolution.
