In his latest “4-Year Journey” update, published on June 4, Loukas framed Bitcoin’s recent retest of its February lows as a largely expected development rather than a break from historical cycle behavior. He argued that Bitcoin’s rebound into May, when price approached the low-$80,000 range after a decline toward $60,000 in February, looked like a countertrend move inside a broader bear-market structure. “A cycle very rarely, and I mean less than 10%, probably more like 5%, will end very early and also on the first significant decline from the high,” Loukas said. “There’s always a retest. There’s generally always a lower low, at least one lower low, if not a second lower low.” Loukas said Bitcoin peaked in October and later broke below its 10-month moving average, which he treats

Bitcoin’s market structure is increasingly reflecting the growing influence of major investors, as institutional capital continues to shape price action, liquidity, and overall sentiment. Unlike earlier cycles driven largely by retail participation, today’s market dynamics are more closely tied to the behavior of large entities whose positioning can significantly impact short-term trends and long-term direction. How Capital Allocation Decisions Affect Bitcoin Performance Bitcoin’s recent volatility should be viewed through the lens of market cycles rather than short-term fear or speculation.
