Bitcoin has upended one of its most closely watched historical patterns, closing 2025 with a roughly 6% annual loss, its first red year following a halving event. The move marks a clear break from the once-reliable four-year cycle that defined prior bull markets in 2013, 2017, and 2021. Now trading near $88,700, nearly 30% below its October peak, the world’s largest cryptocurrency appears to be shedding its halving-driven identity as ETFs, institutional capital, and macro liquidity conditions increasingly dictate price action.
