According to Denny Galindo, an investment strategist at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, Bitcoin follows a four-year cycle pattern, characterized by three years of gains followed by a year of losses. Speaking on the Crypto Goes Mainstream podcast, Galindo likened the current phase to a harvest period.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in the fall season right now,\u201d he said. \u201cFall is the time for harvest. So, it\u2019s the time you want to take your gains.\u201d Bitcoin<\/a> dropped below $99,000 on November 5, falling beneath its 365-day moving average, a move that many analysts view as a technical bear market signal.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Faces Pressure Amid Slowing Liquidity<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The decline comes as profit-taking and cooling enthusiasm in AI and tech stocks weigh on broader risk assets.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin slipped nearly 3% to around $103,000 after briefly touching $107,000 earlier in the week. Market analysts at CoinSwitch note that immediate support lies between $100,000 and $102,000, while resistance remains near $110,000.<\/p>\n

Liquidity conditions have also weakened. Market-maker Wintermute reports that key liquidity sources, including stablecoins, ETFs, and digital asset treasuries, have reached a plateau.<\/p>\n

The slowdown could increase volatility as traders unwind leveraged positions. Ethereum fell by over 3.5% to $3,432, while major altcoins like Solana, Cardano, and Hyperliquid recorded losses exceeding 8%, dragging the total crypto market<\/a> capitalization down 0.6% to $3.52 trillion.<\/p>\n

Institutional Adoption Grows Despite Short-Term Risks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the recent pullback, Morgan Stanley remains optimistic about Bitcoin\u2019s long-term role as a macro hedge. Michael Cyprys, head of U.S. brokers and asset managers research at the firm, noted that \u201cinstitutional investors increasingly view Bitcoin as digital gold and a hedge against inflation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spot Bitcoin ETFs now hold over $137 billion in assets, while Ethereum ETFs account for $22.4 billion, according to SoSoValue data.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, companies like London BTC Company Limited<\/a> are expanding operations in North America, leveraging renewable energy to sustain mining profitability. Analysts say such developments underscore the maturing structure of the crypto market, even as short-term sentiment cools.<\/p>\n

For now, Morgan Stanley\u2019s message is clear, Bitcoin\u2019s \u201cfall season\u201d has begun, making this an opportune moment for investors to secure profits before potential volatility returns.<\/p>\n
