Fidelity's Jurrien Timmer: Expect lame 2026 as four-year bitcoin cycle appears intact

The director of global macro at the asset management giant remains a secular bull on bitcoin, but isn't optimistic about the next year.

What to know:

  • A number of notable market analysts of late have dismissed the idea of bitcoin's four-year cycle and the nearly certain bear market that might imply.
  • Fidelity's Jurrien Timmer, however, says the action so far this time around lines up about perfectly with past four-year cycles and the current bearish action should last deep into 2026.
