According to Anthony Scaramucci, managing partner at SkyBridge investment firm, the ongoing bear market for Bitcoin ($BTC) can be attributed to a four-year cycle and long-term holders of $BTC selling off their assets around the psychological threshold of $100,000.
Scaramucci noted that institutional investors and inflows from Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have dampened the typical volatility associated with Bitcoin’s four-year market cycles. However, he believes that these changes in market dynamics haven’t completely eliminated the traditional patterns observed in $BTC. He stated:
“We are currently experiencing a four-year cycle. There are veteran investors who trust this pattern; when you believe in something strongly enough, it often leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy.”
The price of $BTC is expected to remain volatile throughout most of this year. Scaramucci predicts that by Q4 2026, we will see an upward trend as a new bull market emerges.

The investment community had anticipated that $BTC‘s value would reach $150,000 by 2025 due to former President Donald Trump’s favorable stance towards cryptocurrencies and US regulators becoming more accommodating towards digital assets.
This consensus was shattered following October’s market crash which saw $BTC‘s price plummet from its peak near $126,000 down to approximately $60,000.
Scaramucci pointed out how markets frequently react contrary to prevailing investor sentiment. He referenced early 2023’s price movements after the collapse of FTX in November 2022 as an illustration.
“After FTX collapsed in December 2022 , Bitcoin hit rock bottom but began climbing again starting January 2023.”

“The resurgence occurred during a time marked by widespread disinterest,” he remarked while describing the current bear phase for $ BTC as merely another typical correction akin to previous downturns .”
The validity of Bitcoin’s four-year cycle theory remains hotly debated among crypto executives , analysts , and participants—especially after it ended up showing negative returns for all of 2025—leading many to question whether evolving market conditions have permanently shifted how prices behave.
