According to Michaël van de Poppe, the current crypto cycle is behaving "completely different on all levels," and relying on a traditional 4-year cycle could surprise traders and mistime entries and exits (source: Michaël van de Poppe on X, Nov 15, 2025). He cautions that this cycle’s deviations from historical patterns reduce the reliability of date-based strategies, with no specific price targets or timelines provided (source: Michaël van de Poppe on X, Nov 15, 2025). The key takeaway is that cycle-timing assumptions alone may be insufficient for trade planning this cycle (source: Michaël van de Poppe on X, Nov 15, 2025).
