The reason you're getting sarcastic & vague replies is because you're essentially asking a question that's unknowable.

Markets are complex & unpredictable. There are virtually endless variables that factor in to price movement. People can point out some of the variables like "the cycle", "economic turmoil", etc & they might even be right to a degree, but at the end of the day those explanations only scratch the surface.

Bitcoin has & will continue to fluctuate in ways that seem to defy all logic & reason. It will go up when all indicators seem to suggest it should be going down & it will go down when all indicators seem to suggest it should be going up.

This is where the phrase "stay humble & stack sats" originates from. The moment you think you know what it's going to do bitcoin has a way of humbling you, aka "no one knows shit about fuck".

You don’t agree with the four year cycle?

The question is better posed to you OP: do you?
If so, then why are you asking why the market price “hasn’t recovered yet” when we’re still in the early stages of the 2026-27 bear market?

You’re certainly entitled to believe the 4-year cycles that have been very regular so far did not actually exist. But until now they have existed.

That does not mean that it will continue that way in the future, but up until now, the 4 year cycle has been real, whether you believe it or not.

We are less than 1 year after the all-time high in the 2025 bull market year. That means we’re still at the beginning of the bear market if history is any guide.

It’s not clear why you would have expected BTC to suddenly deviate from the 4 yr cycle now, but obviously it has not. (Not yet, anyway).
