Following his investigation, the expert <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Darkfost_Coc\/status\/1976328041656643770\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">highlighted<\/a> a potential shift in the current bull market cycle, which is flagged as cycle 4, from the past ones.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Bitcoin\u2019s fourth cycle is unfolding unlike any before it, raising the question of whether this could be the first truly different cycle. These shifting dynamics are \u201crewriting the rules\u201d of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/bitcoin-news\/bitcoin-days-away-blowoff-cycle-top-veteran-analyst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bitcoin\u2019s cyclical behavior<\/a>, paving the way for a development trajectory that is more sustainable but also possibly even more explosive.<\/p>\n<p>According to the market expert, several crypto analysts predict that the market will experience a -80% to -90% bearish phase as seen in the past. However, certain data suggest a different scenario could unfold in this current cycle. Such development implies that BTC is being built on new foundations of institutional adoption, regulated <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/blackrock-bitcoin-etf-fared\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">ETFs<\/a>, and deep market maturity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-603301 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-1.jpeg?w=640&amp;resize=640%2C360\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-1.jpeg?w=4000 4000w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-1.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-1.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-1.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-1.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-1.jpeg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-1.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-1.jpeg?w=1140 1140w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bitcoin-chart-from-Darkfost-1.jpeg?w=3000 3000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/p>\n<p>Darkfost highlighted that <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoins-creating-millionaires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Bitcoin<\/a> is changing in front of investors and throughout this cycle. In the meantime, the expert has outlined two key and closely connected phenomena, which include drawdowns and volatility.<\/p>\n<p>In the ongoing bull market cycle, there has been a correction in BTC\u2019s price, exceeding 28% during its bullish phase. Overall, the most drawdowns recorded in this fourth cycle have stayed within a 10% to 20% range.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, there were several instances of drawdowns of almost 50% between 2020 and 2022. Meanwhile, data reveal that only four corrections have gone beyond 25%, making this cycle the least volatile to date. As a result, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-consolidation-phase\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the volatility of Bitcoin<\/a> is at its lowest level, except during the last bear market.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Less Violent Corrections And Rallies This Cycle<\/h2>\n<p>The low volatility clearly explains why there have been fewer violent corrections and rallies in this cycle. As volatility declines, Darkfost noted that the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-is-the-standard-now-outperform-it-or-get-left-behind-ceo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">standard deviation<\/a> of Bollinger Bands continues to tighten over time, which is indicative of their growing stability.<\/p>\n<p>Considering this new trend, the expert believes that this cycle is already different in both its structure and dynamics, moving away from the early BTC cycle pattern. A wave of different players often triggers a shift in a cycle trend.<\/p>\n<p>This is evidenced by the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/square-pushes-bitcoin-adoption-further-with-merchant-payment-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">rising adoption<\/a>, increasing favorable regulatory landscape, and shifting investor base, which have highly contributed to the ongoing shift. <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-smart-money-reveals-large-timed-pullback\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Large treasuries and institutional players<\/a> have entered the market, particularly in the United States, and new whales are absorbing the selling pressure from older ones.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/Fbn6JLWS\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"2084\" height=\"1552\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the market recovering gradually, Bitcoin seems to have found stability above the $120,000 price mark after experiencing a pullback on Tuesday from its current all-time high.
