Short answer

Crypto markets have historically shown a tendency to move through extended phases of expansion and contraction often referred to as market cycles. While no two cycles are identical, understanding the general pattern helps set realistic expectations about how sentiment and price behavior can shift over time.

What A Halving Is

Bitcoin's protocol includes a programmed event called a halving, which periodically cuts the rate at which new coins are issued to miners in half. This is a supply-side mechanism, coded directly into the network's rules, rather than a market-driven event.
