The post ‘Already seen the low?’ – Inside Cathie Wood’s bet on a new Bitcoin cycle appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin has rarely looked more fragile, and many analysts are already referring to this as the worst fourth quarter on record, marked by a massive leverage wipeout and a steep drop from its all-time highs. For over a decade, Bitcoin [BTC] has followed a harsh, predictable pattern: a Halving event, a commendable rally to new highs, and then a brutal 75–90% crash that resets the entire market.

This predictable pattern, last triggered by the 20th April 2024, Halving, has historically been the sole script for investors. Yet, this time, the narrative feels disjointed and disruptive.
