VanEck\u2019s head of research Matthew Sigel, shared the firm\u2019s latest note on X, showing that spot Bitcoin ETFs saw less than 5% outflows even as Bitcoin dropped 30% to around $92,000.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"1189\">As we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/what-are-bitcoin-halving\/\">explained<\/a> in great details in our recent article, Bitcoin halving is famously known as a programmed event within the blockchain protocol that occurs in abrupt patterns every four years that reducing the reward miners receive for processing blocks by 50%.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"1189\">Bernstein\u2019s new research, however, argues that the halving\u2019s influence on market cycles is rapidly diminishing. The analysts suggest that this is because over $60 billion flowing into spot Bitcoin ETFs as well as the fact that institutional demand and global liquidity is now shaping BTC price more than the four-year halving cycle.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1699\" data-end=\"1732\">Bitcoin Halving Cycle Is Dead<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1734\" data-end=\"1932\">In the light of what has been explained above, Bernstein analysts are reliable, as they have a strong track record in traditional finance research, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rootdata.com\/news\/455634?utm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supported<\/a> by, for example, Rootdata, which reported on December 8, 2025.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1934\" data-end=\"2173\">Bernstein concluded that the traditional four-year halving cycle has ended, noting that the usual pattern of peaks and corrections tied to halving events is no longer reliable due to growing institutional involvement:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"2175\" data-end=\"2417\">\n<p data-start=\"2177\" data-end=\"2417\">In view of recent market correction, we believe the Bitcoin cycle has broken the 4-year pattern (cycle peaking every 4 years) and is now in an elongated bull-cycle with more sticky institutional buying offsetting any retail panic selling.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2419\" data-end=\"2544\">Analysts point out that ETF inflows and long-term institutional accumulation are helping absorb supply and reduce volatility.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2546\" data-end=\"2593\">Bernstein Predicts BTC to Hit $200K by 2027<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2595\" data-end=\"2904\">Moreover, Bernstein\u2019s analysts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/bitcoin-news-150-year-market-cycle-signals-no-btc-bull-run-until-2026-heres-why\/\">argue<\/a> that long-term investors are offsetting retail panic selling, creating a more firm price environment than in the previous cycles.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2906\" data-end=\"3184\">Among other predictions, e.g. from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/trump-sons-predict-btc-could-hit-170k-by-2026-at-bitcoin-2025-conference\/\">Don Jr. and Eric Trump<\/a>, Bernstein therefore raised its forecast for BTC to $150,000 by the end of 2026, with the cycle potentially peaking at $200,000 in 2027. In addition, it is also noted that the firm also maintains a long-term target of $1 million by 2033, assuming continued institutional accumulation and favorable macro conditions:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2906\" data-end=\"3184\">\u201cDespite a ~30% Bitcoin correction, we have seen less than 5% outflows via ETFs.
