Veteran crypto analyst Bob Loukas has delivered a Bitcoin update suggesting 
that the asset could be entering the “perfect storm” phase of its four-year 
cycle. But in a twist that defies traditional cycle models, Loukas now sees 
the possibility of a delayed blowoff top extending into early 2026 and 
introduces the prospect of a rare double-cycle structure. In his latest 
installment of the Four-Year Journey published on June 26, Loukas reaffirms 
that the current Bitcoin cycle — which began with the November 2022 low — 
remains structurally intact and is nearing its climactic phase. &#8220;This is 
certainly the most bullish phase of the four-year cycle,&#8221; Loukas states. 
&#8220;We&#8217;re now sort of on the cusp of what traditionally has been the beginning or 
the blowoff phase of a cycle.&#8221; Bitcoin Blowoff Delayed? What separates this 
cycle, according to Loukas, is the unique combination of maturing fundamentals 
and a confluence of macro, institutional, and regulatory forces. These include 
continued ETF inflows, corporate treasury adoption, and a radical policy shift 
under the Trump administration, including what he anticipates may be a pro- 
crypto Fed chair appointment. Together, these forces are creating what he 
calls a “perfect storm” for price expansion. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin 
Top In? Bitcoin MVRV-Score Has The Answer Loukas is cautious about providing 
hard price targets but acknowledges a doubling effect that could send Bitcoin 
from its current range near $110,000 to as high as $150,000–$170,000 in the 
short term. Historically, such phases have seen Bitcoin double in a matter of 
months once new highs are breached. “A breakout to the upside can see Bitcoin 
essentially almost double in a very short period of time,” he says, pointing 
to prior legs of the cycle where Bitcoin surged from $25K to $75K or $50K to 
$100K within five-month windows. Yet what makes this latest report 
particularly notable is Loukas&#8217; introduction of a more complex structure he 
calls a “double cycle blowoff.” He describes this as a fusion of two adjacent 
four-year cycle peaks — a concept that could delay the market top to as late 
as February or March 2026, well beyond the traditional 35-month cycle peak 
window. &#8220;If we&#8217;ve still got sort of a six to seven month expansion to a peak… 
that would lead us into maybe even a February or March peak,” Loukas explains. 
This scenario, while still within the broader cyclical rhythm, would imply a 
39–41 month uptrend rather than the typical 33–35 months. “I do think it’s 
time… 15–16 years into Bitcoin’s adoption,” he notes, referencing the arc from 
early tech believers to deep institutional penetration. Related Reading: 
$179,000 Or $79,000? Bitcoin Faces Critical Cycle Pivot, Says Analyst The 
implications are significant. A delayed peak could mean a much shorter 
corrective phase — or even the emergence of a second explosive rally as the 
next cycle begins, creating what Loukas describes as the illusion of one 
extended supercycle. “There’s a significant upside potential still to come in 
this cycle,” he says, warning that many may be caught off guard. “You don’t 
want to be surprised.” BTC Price Targets Loukas also addresses the broader 
sentiment picture, noting that the typical mania — the kind that marked tops 
in 2017 and late 2021 — has not yet materialized. “We haven’t seen that sort 
of blowoff, absolute extreme sentiment that you typically would see near the 
top,” he says. He sees this as further evidence that the final phase is still 
ahead. Regarding the price target for a supercycle, Loukas ponders: “I can see 
numbers in the quarter of a million level. I can also see some really crazy 
numbers when you see prior manias and bubbles in different asset classes, […] 
Seeing a 5x, 6x, 7x move from here over a 2-year period in a major mania is 
not really a stretch. Even from a market cap perspective, it&#8217;s not a stretch, 
seeing where gold is already heading through the $20 trillion level and well 
beyond.” While he emphasizes that these ideas are probabilistic and not 
predictions, Loukas does warn of the long-term consequences if his double- 
cycle thesis plays out. A massive influx of institutional capital, sovereign 
interest, and retail mania could ultimately trigger Bitcoin’s first true 
secular bear market, one not measured in months but in years. “If you consider 
a mania leadup where so many treasury companies and traditional flows come 
together and peak… the unwinding process just takes a lot longer.” For now, 
Loukas’ model portfolio remains partially in cash after trimming some 
positions near recent highs, reflecting a conservative approach tailored to 
capital preservation. Still, he acknowledges that younger or more risk- 
tolerant investors may view this moment as a final accumulation window before 
the next phase begins. “This video is very, very bullish, right?” he quips. At 
press time, BTC traded at $107,317. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart
