This is manipulation mixed with 4-year cycle.
Since the October 10th crash, the biggest liquidation event in crypto history which wiped out $19 billion in 24 hours, Bitcoin has not been the same.
After that, Bitcoin crashed -54% from $126K to $58K with no real bounce like we saw in 2018 and 2022 bear markets.
We saw a nonstop dump in Bitcoin and this cycle ended with no altseason at all.
The weird thing is, since the Oct 10th NASDAQ is up 28%, reaching a new ATH of 30,764, with many stocks hitting new all-time highs.
Historically Bitcoin correlates with the US stock market, but this time almost every pump gets sold off.
Bitcoin followed and recovered with stocks even during the 2025 tariff crash, but recently it has massively diverged since the October 2025 crash, and we continue to see hundreds of millions in liquidations every other day.
I think the 4-year cycle is still intact and the crash to the bottom feels aggressive due to leverage manipulation and algo trading by big firms like Jane, which makes money from arbitrage volatility rather than price going up.
Do you think there is manipulation involved or market is following 4 year cycle ?
$FET has already shown what happens when buyers take control
Back in 2023–2024, the chart exploded from a long accumulation phase into a multi-thousand percent move as AI became the hottest narrative in crypto.
Then came the reset
A year of seller dominance
Lower highs
Weak sentiment
Liquidity leaving the sector
Now look where price sits
Right back near the same accumulation region that launched the previous expansion.
The structure is simple:
- Strong buyer pressure → massive rally
- Extended seller pressure → full reset
- Multi-month base formation → potential new expansion phase
What’s interesting is that $FET no longer needs a new narrative.
The AI narrative already exists.
It only needs capital to rotate back into the sector.
Historically, the biggest moves don’t start when everyone is bullish.
They start when price has spent months doing absolutely nothing and most market participants have stopped paying attention.
That’s exactly where $FET is now.
If buyers continue defending this zone, the current structure starts looking less like a bottoming process and more like the early stage of another trend reversal.
The market has already seen what happens when momentum returns to $FET.
The question isn’t whether it can move.
The chart has proven that multiple times.
The question is whether traders are paying attention before the next expansion begins.

@Victori42798719 It is true. DGD is your safe harbor in a crypto storm.
We (the community) base and validate the coin price based entirely on its underlying fundamentals.
Base Mainnet is currently halted while the team works on an issue with block production.
All funds are secure, and we’ll update below once resolved.
Appreciate the patience while we get it fixed.
