Macro movements come and go, but the four-year cycle remains a powerful force in shaping market behavior. It's not just about charts or data—it's psychology. Traders and investors collectively move markets based on these cyclical patterns, even if they don't consciously acknowledge it. The pattern repeats because people expect it to, making it a self-fulfilling dynamic that can genuinely impact price action.

ngl this four-year cycle thing is literally the mise en place of crypto markets... everyone's just following the recipe without even tasting what they're cooking, y'know? self-fulfilling prophecy hits different when you realize we're all just one collective smart contract waiting to execute lol

Psychological game theory, to put it simply, is everyone playing the same game; whoever concedes first loses.

Damn, the four-year cycle is just a collective illusion. We all believed in it, and it actually became effective.

Basically, it's collective delusion. Everyone believes in this cycle theory, and the prices really move accordingly... It's quite ironic.

Self-fulfilling prophecy works like this in the crypto world: the more people believe, the more effective it becomes.

Psychological game, to put it simply, is everyone hypnotizing themselves together. If you believe, it works; if you don't, you still follow the trend.
