Bitcoin Crashes 4% To $106,000: Is The Bull Run Over?

Bitcoin is down 4% on Monday, leading experts to question whether the crypto giant will continue to follow its historic four-year market cycles.

Coin Bureau’s Nic Puckrin called October a rare disappointment, marking only the third time in history (after 2014 and 2018) Bitcoin didn’t rally that month.

Still, he noted BTC’s resilience, having absorbed 405 BTC in sell pressure from legacy holders while holding above $100,000 since May.
