Analysts Indicate That the Cycle Between the 2-Year Bitcoin Has Not Ended

Bitcoin (BTC) has now gone through 195 days in the latest sideways movement, which is part of a broader two-year period marked by sluggish price action and short term bullish phases. According to a cryptocurrency analyst, only 36 days of significant bullish movement have shaped this cycle, while the rest has been a relentless grinding process. However, despite the apparent fatigue of the market and the continuous new lows, this analyst asserts that the cycle is not yet over. Bitcoin Cycle Only Sees 36 Days of Actual Growth The current Bitcoin market cycle is being closely examined, as a new analysis by crypto analyst Crypto Con delves into the past movements of the cryptocurrency, revealing two full years of sideways price action with only brief periods of bullish momentum. The analyst's chart titled "Cycle 4 Range and Expansion" highlights a pattern of prolonged range-bound activity interrupted by short expansions. As of now, Crypto Con notes that Bitcoin has consolidated for 195 consecutive days since December 18, 2024, without establishing a new local high. Chart analysis shows that the total actual time spent expanding bullishly throughout the entire cycle is only 5.76 months. Even more interesting is that when separating the days Bitcoin recorded a new local high, this number drops to just 36 days.

According to market experts, these expansion bursts are responsible for all significant bullish phases of Bitcoin in its current cycle. Each expansion phase also occurs within extremely narrow time frames—often lasting only two to five days. The remainder of the cycle is then characterized by continuous sluggishness and prolonged price consolidations, as momentum gradually fades and the market struggles to advance. Flat Price Action Hides the Underlying Strength of the Cycle Taking a closer look at the bottom part of the Crypto Con chart, removing the extended burst phases, it shows that the price of Bitcoin has essentially remained unchanged or is trending down throughout the cycle. The major sideways periods in 2023 and 2024 lasted 192 days and 238 days respectively, resulting in a minimum sustained increase. The current range for 2025 has now lasted nearly 200 days, continuing the inactive market trend. Despite the prolonged stagnation, Crypto Con still asserts that this cycle is not over yet. He implied that the prolonged accumulation and consolidation of Bitcoin could create pressure for a significant breakout. The chart also shows the next potential bullish target for Bitcoin in the range of 165,000 to 180,000 dollars. Currently, this leading cryptocurrency is trading at 106,990 dollars, meaning a leap between these targets would represent a bullish increase of over 54%. If previous patterns hold, the next big move of BTC could come quickly, as previous expansions have made their impact in just a few trading sessions. Until that moment arrives, Bitcoin remains stuck in the slowest cycle and may be the most patient test to date.
