@BobLoukas
2018 年 12 月把“Bitcoin 四年周期”这个说法带上 YouTube 的人——并据此运作一个公开的模型组合。Loukas 不交易新闻标题；他交易的是你处在周期的哪个位置，每次更新都标注日期，并公开买入操作。这让他的记录异常容易核查——包括 2026 年初周期说跌、价格却说别的那一段。
简而言之。 Bob Loukas is a position trader with 30+ years in markets, founder of the membership site The Financial Tap, and the analyst most associated with Bitcoin's four-year cycle — a framework he traces to the cycle work of Walter Bressert and has applied to Bitcoin since 2018. His crypto analysis runs through a “4 Year Journey” model portfolio whose trades he posts publicly. The eight dated 2026 calls charted below split cleanly in two: his bearish first half was badly timed — a sub-$50,000 scenario that never came, and a “readying for another big leg lower” post published on the exact day of Bitcoin's March low — and then he caught the turn, calling the end of the counter-trend rally six days before the $82,018 May top, buying 10 BTC at $65,000 in June, and telling followers Bitcoin “isn't dead” at $60,990, which it now holds +37.9% above. In September he called for a break of that May high to confirm a new bull market, and it broke four days later. His cycle-low window of October–November 2026 has not arrived, and is logged open.
Bob Loukas 是头寸交易者，也是 The Financial Tap 的创始人——他把这个会员制网站描述为“持续的投资教育”，而不是交易服务。他自己的介绍页对业务形态说得很具体：30 多年市场经验、每年 52 期周更视频、面向会员的模型组合，以及位于纽约的基地。他的方法有明确的师承——他称道“Walter Bressert 的开创性工作”，那位周期分析师——并将其定义为研究价格与时间中反复出现、可度量的模式，而不只是价格。他公开的理念刻意不华丽：“I'm a realist. There's no holy grail of trading.”
他的加密工作与股票／宏观会员业务分开：Bitcoin 分析只发布在 Bitcoin Live 这一第三方平台上，冠以 4 Year Journey 之名——一个依照四年周期运作的公开模型组合。他还向大约 150,000 订阅者的 YouTube 频道上传免费视频更新，节奏大约一年六期，每期标题都带日期（“It's Not Different This Time”、“Not Done Yet”、“ThE fOur YeAr cyCle iS dEAd”）。据他本人说，YouTube 上第一个讲 Bitcoin 四年周期的视频就是他的，发于 2018 年 12 月。正是这种组合——低频、带日期、并与一个公开组合绑定——让他的记录可以被核查。
在你看图之前，有一次落空应当先入档，因为它恰好落在本页作图窗口之外，因而无法评分。2025 年 6 月，Bitcoin 在 $110,000 附近时，Loukas 抛出了“double cycle blowoff”的设想——两个相邻的四年周期顶部融合为一——并说“if we've still got sort of a six to seven month expansion to a peak… that would lead us into maybe even a February or March peak”，同时给出朝 $150,000–$170,000 翻倍的可能。结果 Bitcoin 于 2025 年 10 月在 $126,000 附近见顶，到 2026 年 2 月已在下行。他明确说过这些是概率性情景而非确定判断——但他抛出的延长情景没有发生，而后来在镜头前说出这一点的正是他自己。

用长钟表看周期，而不是噪音。Loukas 把 Bitcoin 描绘成以周期周数衡量的四年周期，内部嵌套更短的日线和周线周期，并有一个很强的先验：周期会像以往一样收尾——回踩、更低的低点，然后在一个时间带内筑底。他使用 10 周与 10 月均线、周期中点位（本页的 $53,000 就是整个四年周期的中点）以及情绪极值。他是头寸交易者——模型组合 2026 年 6 月的买入是三年半来的第一笔——所以他的优势在配置与耐心，而非入场点。弱点在下面的判断中一览无遗：一个坚持“总会有更低的低点”的框架，会让你在底部结构性地过早，也结构性地不愿承认底部已经出现。
在整个周期上对 Bitcoin 结构性看多——2026 年的低点处他在买入而非卖出——但对广义山寨币市场明确看空，并认为真正的价格发现要到 2028 年。
Eight dated calls from 26 February to 18 September 2026, each charted against real price. Six are his own X posts, captured verbatim from X's syndication endpoint; two come from press reports of his dated video updates and were substring-matched against the live articles. He is a cycle analyst, so the calls are structural (“another big leg lower,” “the end of a counter trend move,” “$53,000 is the midpoint”) rather than tight entries — we judged them on what price actually did next. The arc is unusually clean and it is not flattering in order, so the three misses come first: he spent February to April bearish and early, then called the May top almost to the day, bought the June lows, and in September called for a break of the May high. His October–November cycle-low window has not arrived and the September break has not yet reached his $90,000s, so both are logged open.
“If Bitcoin sees no counter-trend relief rally, and instead continues the downtrend to sub $50k (into March/April), the possibility this type of action induces an early 4 Year Cycle low is real.”
Posted on 26 February — a day that has since rolled out of this chart's price window, so the chart now anchors at $67,497 on 27 February. He floated a slide below $50,000 during March or April. It was framed as a possibility, not a target — but the path did not open. March and April never traded below $65,824, and even the eventual cycle low on 1 July only reached $58,566 (−13.2%). Price went the other way instead: from the anchor Bitcoin ran +28.3% to $86,597 and holds $84,107 (+24.6%). The verdict rests on the level he named, which the moving anchor cannot change.
𝕏 Post“…continues the downtrend to sub $50k” — @BobLoukas, 26 Feb 2026↗ x.com“As deeply oversold as Bitcoin is, this weekly chart remains horrendous and from a purely visual perspective, feels like it's hanging on by a thread and readying for another big leg lower.”
The worst-timed post on the page. U.Today reported the chart's target as roughly $49,000. He published it at $65,824 — which turned out to be the lowest price of March and April. Bitcoin rallied +13.5% to $74,679 within about a fortnight. A leg lower did eventually arrive, but not until July and only to $58,566 (−11.0%); $49,000 was never approached. Since the post Bitcoin has run +31.6% to $86,597 and holds $84,107 (+27.8%).
𝕏 Post“this weekly chart remains horrendous” — @BobLoukas, 2 Mar 2026↗ x.com“Bitcoin dominance bottomed out for the Cycle above 50%, without Bitcoin doing anything extraordinary, highlights the broader promise of Crypto has mostly failed.”
A call that Bitcoin's share of the market had bottomed — i.e. altcoins would keep losing ground. This hub can't chart the dominance index, so we score it on Solana as the tradeable alt proxy, and on that measure it went against him: from $86, SOL dipped −27.7% to $62, then ran +38.2% to $119 and holds $115 (+33.7%). Bitcoin over the identical span is +10.2%, so the altcoin proxy has clearly outperformed.
𝕏 Post“Bitcoin dominance bottomed out for the Cycle above 50%” — @BobLoukas, 22 Apr 2026↗ x.com“At the $53,000 level, we're tagging the midpoint of the entire four-year cycle.”
From his 4 June video, published at $64,047: the cycle midpoint at $53,000 is where the model portfolio's remaining cash goes to reach a 100% allocation. His structural claim on the same call — “there's generally always a lower low” — did deliver: Bitcoin fell −8.6% to $58,566 on 1 July. But $53,000 never printed; price has since run +35.2% to $86,597 and holds $84,107 (+31.3%). His base case puts the cycle low in October or November 2026, which has not arrived, so this stays open by construction — although his own 18 September post, charted below, now talks about confirming a new bull market.
SourceVeteran Analyst Eyes $53,000 Bitcoin As Final Cycle Stage Begins — NewsBTC↗ newsbtc.com“Bitcoin - Getting close now to the end of a natural counter trend move in a bear market. $85-$88k area.”
His best call, and the one that redeems the three above. At $79,826 he said the rally was a counter-trend bounce that was nearly finished. Bitcoin topped six days later at $82,018 (+2.7%) — the May high — and then fell −26.6% to $58,566. The $85–$88k zone he named was not reached in that move; Bitcoin only got there four months later, on 22 September, when it ran +8.5% to $86,597. It holds $84,107 (+5.4%). The level was off; the turn was right.
𝕏 Post“the end of a natural counter trend move in a bear market” — @BobLoukas, 5 May 2026↗ x.com“The Bitcoin 4 Year Cycle Journey ‘Model Portfolio’ has made its first buy in 3.5yrs. Picking up 10BTC at $65,000.”
Not an opinion — a posted trade, and the model portfolio's first purchase since late 2022, taking it to roughly a 60% Bitcoin allocation. He was early, as his framework tends to make him: from the day's close of $66,727, price fell another −12.2% to $58,566 before turning. But it turned. Bitcoin has since run +29.8% to $86,597 and holds $84,107 (+26.0%). Judged as what it is — a cycle allocation, not an entry — it worked.
𝕏 Post“Picking up 10BTC at $65,000” — @BobLoukas, 3 Jun 2026↗ x.com“All the Bitcoin and Crypto FUD flooding the timeline is perfectly normal at this stage of a bear market. Bitcoin isn't dead. Crypto isn't dead either.”
Posted into peak capitulation at $60,990, six days before the cycle low. The drawdown after it was just −4.0% before Bitcoin ran +42.0% to $86,597; it holds $84,107 (+37.9%). One honest caveat: U.Today reported alongside this that he expected 3–5 months of sideways trade before a new cycle began in autumn; that part has not held, because price did not go sideways, it went up.
𝕏 Post“Bitcoin isn't dead. Crypto isn't dead either.” — @BobLoukas, 25 Jun 2026↗ x.com“Very good setup here for Bitcoin to smash through the May highs and confirm a new bull market. More importantly, the recent 4-week consolidation means any solid push through the highs is very likely a fresh new move that has legs (vs a trap) that might not look back until the $90's. Failure to break through sets up a move back to the lows of the range.”
A conditional call, posted at $76,371: a clean break of the May high ($82,018) would be a real move with legs that “might not look back until the $90's”; failure would send price back to the lows of the range. The first half came fast — four days later Bitcoin closed at $86,597 (+13.4%), its first close above the May high — and it holds $84,107 (+10.1%). But the $90,000s have not printed, and a six-day-old break is not yet the move with legs he described, so this is logged open. It also marks a clear shift: in June the same model portfolio was waiting on $53,000.
𝕏 Post“smash through the May highs and confirm a new bull market” — @BobLoukas, 18 Sep 2026↗ x.comOutcomes are our read of his stated position against real price, not his own scoring. Quotes are verbatim — X posts via the syndication endpoint, article quotes substring-matched against the live page, both linked on each card. The 22 April call is about Bitcoin dominance, which this hub cannot chart directly; we scored it against Solana as the tradeable altcoin proxy and say so on the card. His June 2025 “double cycle blowoff” miss pre-dates this window and is disclosed in the biography rather than scored here. The 26 February post has since aged out of the rolling price window, so its chart anchors on 27 February; its verdict rests on the $50,000 level he named, not the anchor.
两个付费产品，都是订阅制，没有一个是喊单群。值得注意的是这种切分：股票／宏观会员在他自己的网站上，而全部 Bitcoin 工作——包括本页引用的模型组合——都在一个他并不拥有的第三方平台上。
他自己的网站：每周一期视频更新（一年 52 期）、模型组合与文字报告，均在付费会员之后。他明确将其定位为投资教育，而非交易服务。
他表示自己的 Bitcoin 与加密分析只发布在 Bitcoin Live，4 Year Journey 模型组合也在那里。那里的订阅收入与一个他并不控制的平台分成——当一个判断同时也是橱窗时，这一点值得知道。
带日期的视频更新是免费且低频的——一年约六期。它们是两个付费产品的公开门面，所以把它们当作论点来读，而不是整本书。我们查阅的公开记录中没有出现任何代币、课程或交易所推荐。

It's Not Different This Time在 2026 年跌势启动之际，对周期框架的重新阐述。05 Feb 2026一位有 30 多年市场经验的头寸交易者，会员制网站 The Financial Tap 的创始人，也是与 Bitcoin 四年周期关联最深的分析师——他说 YouTube 上第一个讲这个主题的视频就是他的，发于 2018 年 12 月。他常驻纽约，并在 Bitcoin Live 以“4 Year Journey”之名发布 Bitcoin 分析。
一套承自周期分析师 Walter Bressert 的时间框架，把 Bitcoin 描绘成以周为单位衡量的约四年周期，内部嵌套更短的日线与周线周期。它带有一个很强的先验：周期以回踩和至少一个更低的低点在时间带内收尾——2026 年他把这个时间带放在 10 月或 11 月前后。
没有公开核实。他披露的收入是 The Financial Tap 与 Bitcoin Live 的订阅收入，加上他自己的持仓。忽略任何具体数字——没有一个得到确认。
He is a commentator, not a licensed adviser, and the 2026 record here is genuinely split: three misses in the first half of the year — including a bearish post published on the exact low of March and April — against a top call six days early, a posted buy at $65,000 on a day Bitcoin closed at $66,727, now +26.0%, and a contrarian bottom read that is +37.9%. His June 2025 call for a February–March 2026 cycle peak also missed. Treat it as a documented, dated opinion — never trade it blindly.
三个地方：YouTube 上免费的带日期视频更新（约 15 万订阅者，一年约六期）、他自己面向股票与宏观的付费会员站 The Financial Tap，以及 Bitcoin Live——按他的说法，他的 Bitcoin 与加密分析只在那里发布，包括 4 Year Journey 模型组合。
Loukas 交易的是钟表而不是标题：你在周期中的位置决定配置，而模型组合可以三年半按兵不动。你的直觉有多接近——用 Trader Passport 真正量一量。
