Does the breakout extend the 4-year cycle

Lindsey said,

“Bull market breakout has never faded. We continue to be in a Bitcoin bull market since 2020. Cycles are longer. Lengthening or new structure? This is the question.”

The overall cryptocurrency market cap now stands at $2.168 trillion and Bitcoin’s dominance rate is 42.1%.
