The Bitcoin market has historically followed a four-year boom and bust cycle, with every fourth year experiencing a crash. In 2014, the market recorded a -57.6% change, the lowest in the first cycle. In 2018 and 2022, there were further declines of -73.3% and -64.3% respectively, the lowest in their respective cycles. However, experts like Matt Hougan believe that the market's maturity and favorable political climate, including the possibility of a Bitcoin reserve by the US, could lead to significant growth and a price milestone of $200,000 by the end of 2025. While volatility may still be expected in 2026, the market is seen as stronger than ever with potential to reshape the future of crypto.
