Bitcoin on a pile of coins
Q4 held a lot of hope for crypto investors and while the quarter started with much promise, the market trend in October has not been encouraging. However, it may just be calm before the big crypto storm.

A crypto analyst tweeted on 16 October that such a trend has been going on for several years and this year’s case isn’t a unique case.
If this is true, then the eventual outcome is also to be expected, which according to the analyst is a big rally.
Same structure, same results
The crypto market started getting structured in 2017. Since then, the market has also established what seems to have established a pattern in which a cycle comes through every four years.

Based on this data, the pattern of October dumps isn’t new, as it happened in 2017, 2021, and now 2025, each time repeating the same structure.
If this pattern plays out this month, Bitcoin will likely see another 400% pump before the onset of a bear market.
October started on a good footing, with Bitcoin and altcoins pumping on the very first day. This restored optimism after the bearish month of September, as investors believe that Q4 is the quarter for crypto pumps.
Even though the market continued well as Bitcoin reached a new all-time high and several altcoins did the same, the expectations dimmed quickly since the flash crash of last week.
Big whales who usually restore hope to the market with fresh accumulation are standing by and waiting to see how things goes first, especially as the Fed decision on rates still lies ahead.
If Bitcoin pulls the kind of growth expected in this structure, altcoins will probably follow in the rally and eventually enter the altcoin season which has been much awaited. It is now a question of when this will happen.
