Will Bitcoin’s Four-Year Cycle Persist As Institutional Influence Grows?

Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO: BTC) movement within a tight trading range is raising questions about whether its traditional four-year cycle remains intact or is gradually fading amid rising institutional participation.

Cycle Debate Intensifies

In an X.com post on March 31, on-chain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence highlighted a growing debate over the durability of Bitcoin’s four-year cycle. The firm noted that increasing institutional involvement may be reshaping market behavior.

Unlike retail traders, institutional investors typically deploy capital in a more structured manner, often guided by schedules and risk management strategies. This approach can reduce extreme volatility and dampen the…

Satoshi’s 2010 Quantum Response Is Getting A 2026 Stress Test As Google Warns Timeline May Be Closer Than Expected

In 2010, long before quantum computing became a mainstream concern in crypto circles, Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, was already sketching out how the network might respond if its underlying cryptography were ever compromised.

The premise was simple but consequential: Bitcoin’s security assumptions are not permanent. They can be replaced.

In early Bitcointalk discussions, Satoshi outlined a scenario in which the system’s cryptographic primitives — whether hashing or digital signatures—  could eventually weaken. If that happened gradually, the network could coordinate a transition: a protocol upgrade would introduce stronger algorithms, and users…

Dogecoin And Shiba Inu At Critical Levels But SHIB’s 945% Burn Surge Changes Everything

Dogecoin’s Wedge Compression

Dogecoin is forming a converging wedge at multi-month lows, with upper and lower trendlines squeezing price into a tight range. 

The Supertrend at $0.1044 and Parabolic SAR at $0.0989 both hover just above, making any upside move an immediate test of resistance.

The Supertrend hasn’t flipped green yet despite weeks of sideways action, suggesting sellers haven’t fully given up. 

Volume dropped 6.24% to $2.10 billion and open interest slipped 0.99% to $1.06 billion, typically signaling fading conviction on both sides.

However, options open interest rose 3.10%, hinting that some players are quietly positioning for a bigger move. 

Key support sits at $0.088…

Bitcoin Price Faces Rising Sell Pressure As Downtrend Nears Six-Month Streak

Bitcoin sell pressure is rising as the bitcoin price drifts toward a sixth straight monthly loss, yet underlying flows show a split market where short-term holders exit while institutions absorb supply.

Bitcoin price traded below $65,000 late Tuesday after falling from above $74,000 earlier in March. The move has come alongside a rise in exchange inflows, with about 22,000 BTC sent to trading venues during one session, signaling distribution from recent buyers. 

Despite that pressure, price has held above the $60,000 range and remains above long-term support levels.

The key question is where the coins are going.

On-chain data points to a steady transfer of supply from short-term…

Bitfarms (BITF) Started Selling All Of Its Bitcoin

Bitfarms is moving toward a future with no bitcoin on its balance sheet, marking one of the clearest breaks yet between legacy mining firms and the emerging AI infrastructure trade.

The Nasdaq-listed company confirmed it has begun selling its bitcoin holdings and plans to continue doing so over time, with CEO Ben Gagnon stating on the firm’s fourth-quarter earnings call, “In time, we will have no bitcoin.” 

The approach signals a phased exit rather than a single liquidation, with management indicating it will sell into market strength while extracting remaining cash flow from mining operations.

Bitfarms held 1,827 BTC as of its latest disclosure, according to…

Google’s New Quantum Research Renews Push To Secure Bitcoin

A new research paper from Google has intensified debate over whether Bitcoin can adapt in time to withstand advances in quantum computing, pushing developers and investors to confront a risk long treated as theoretical.

Google’s quantum division said this week in a new whitepaper that future machines could break widely used encryption far more efficiently than previously estimated, including the elliptic curve cryptography that underpins Bitcoin wallets. 

The research suggests attacks that once appeared decades away may arrive sooner, with some scenarios modeling the ability to crack encryption in minutes under advanced conditions.

The findings do not imply an immediate threat….

Bitcoin Holds $60K–$70K Range As Analysts Warn Gold’s Rally Is Over And Worse Is Coming

The Gold Reversal Call

McGlone argues gold’s significant rally is finished after making multi-decade highs. 

Gold peaked at $5,600 before crashing 27% to $4,100, marking what he calls the end of an era that began in 1997.

“The rally to me is over,” McGlone said. “Gold’s going to languish between $3,000 and $5,000 potentially for a decade. That’s just the way it always does.”

When it does, gold shifts from a safe haven to a highly speculative risk asset and puts in a peak.

The Bitcoin Warning

McGlone extends the same analysis to Bitcoin, arguing that the significant rally that lasted over a decade is finished. 

“Bitcoin warned us,” he said, noting that Bitcoin’s…
