Severino, who posts under the handle @tonythebullBTC on X, recently declared that “the 16-year Bitcoin expansion is over.” This is a statement that carries particular weight given his track record. He had previously anticipated that Bitcoin’s bull run would end in 2025 and projected that the corrective wave ushering in a bear market could extend as far as mid-2027.
Destruction First, Then GrowthThe most important part of Severino’s outlook is not just that a downturn could happen, but that it is necessary. Only when that complacency is fully broken, he contends, can a new cycle begin on a stronger footing.
Notably, this 16-year cyclical peak concept has become a recurring theme in his broader outlook. That same idea resurfaced again in his latest remarks, where he noted the complacency among some investors.
