📊 Bitcoin and the 4-year cycle

Looking at the past three halvings, the cycle structure is clear:

➡️ Bull phase (halving to cycle top) → median 75 weeks
➡️ Bear phase (top to bottom) → median 53 weeks
➡️ Accumulation (bottom to next halving) → median 74 weeks

On that math, the current cycle’s median top would land around September 29. The mean says the peak may already be behind us.

History isn’t destiny, and macro shifts matter more now than in earlier cycles. Still, the question remains: is Bitcoin repeating the 4-year rhythm, or are we finally breaking it?

⭕️ Fluid vs Aave

Fluid is starting to bite into Aave’s lead. It now has more weekly active users than Aave, a big shift in lending markets.

➡️ Aave still dominates in TVL and liquidity depth
➡️ But user growth is tilting toward Fluid
➡️ Competition in DeFi lending is heating up

The giant isn’t falling, but it’s definitely moving in its seat.

Might be time to keep an eye on the $FLUID token.

✅ Best habits to build in crypto

Success in crypto is less about catching the perfect chart and more about the habits that keep you consistent, rational, and ready for opportunity.

➡️ Look for opportunity in any market
There are always people who complain about conditions and people who see chances even in tough markets. You don’t need to trade everything, but spotting opportunities early is a real edge.

➡️ Wait a few minutes before taking an impulsive trade
The urge to click fast is strong. Step away, let the adrenaline fade, then decide. Most times, a few minutes won’t change the outcome but will improve your judgment.

➡️ Ask yourself where your edge is
Before entering, know who is on the other side and why you have the advantage. If you can’t explain it, you don’t have one.

➡️ Check your portfolio less
Obsessing over PnL creates irrational decisions. Focus on the process and let the trades breathe.

➡️ Practice introspection
Mistakes are yours to own. Reflection is painful but helps you improve habits and spot blind spots.

➡️ Increase your surface area for opportunity
Build networks, expand information flow, and keep positioning yourself where luck can find you.

In crypto, hype fades and cycles change. The ones who last are those who master their habits, stay patient, and keep refining their process.
