Bitcoin is playing out a price movement that has convinced many traders that 
October 2025 was the cycle peak. However, an interesting technical analysis 
shows that the market structure still does not look complete. Analyst 
CryptoAmsterdam made the case that Bitcoin is moving through a temporary 
correction inside a much larger phase. If that reading is correct, then 
Bitcoin could still stage a stronger rally than previous bull markets. Bitcoin 
May Still Be Inside An Unfinished Macro Bull Cycle Every major Bitcoin bull 
run has followed a recognizable five-stage sequence: a bull phase, a bear 
phase, accumulation below the macro range, a disbelief rally back into range, 
and finally a parabolic move into new all-time highs. This structure has held 
across the 2013, 2017, and 2021 cycles, each one completing all five stages 
within roughly a four-year window. The current cycle has not. Related Reading:

According to CryptoAmsterdam&#8217;s analysis, Bitcoin reached a new peak without 
delivering the characteristic Stage 5 parabolic expansion. The chart 
comparisons he shared by plotting Bitcoin&#8217;s weekly price action against prior 
cycles show that the 2013, 2017, and 2021 cycles each measured approximately 
1,456 to 1,477 days from trough to peak, with Stage 5 accounting for the most 
explosive price movement in each case. That phase, however, appears 
structurally absent in the current cycle. Price action has entered a 
corrective period since the peak at $126,000, but the cycle framework, by this 
reading, is still open. Price Chart Comparison. Source: @damskotrades On X The 
technical analysis also shows that price action can look weak on a shorter 
time frame and still remain bullish on a much larger one. That is where 
Bitcoin appears to be sitting now. The chart setup shows the recent correction 
is only a mini-cycle correction forming inside a broader macro continuation. 
This reading becomes more interesting when placed beside gold and Alphabet. In 
both examples, price also advanced within a larger macro cycle, paused for a 
mid-cycle correction, and then resumed higher once that smaller reset was 
complete. According to CryptoAmsterdam, Bitcoin could now be doing something 
similar. If the reading is correct, then Bitcoin&#8217;s current price action is 
Stage 3 of a mini-cycle nested within the larger Stage 5 of that macrocycle. 
Therefore, the parabolic phase would still be ahead. Gold And Alphabet Inc. 
Source: @damskotrades On X Possibility Of A New Price High Another reason for 
a stronger rally is Bitcoin’s tendency to lag other assets. Over the last 
several years, Bitcoin has often printed macro structures similar to large-cap 
stocks, only with a delay that can stretch into hundreds of days. That makes 
Bitcoin look less like the leader of the cycle and more like the final 
participant. Related Reading: Here’s How Much Needs To Flow Through Ripple For

always bottomed well before Bitcoin did. For instance, Bitcoin moved higher 
during gold&#8217;s advance in the previous cycle in 2021 but underwent an entire 
mini-cycle correction while gold was trending straight up. Only when gold 
completed and topped its parabolic rally did Bitcoin take over into a vertical 
move, as shown in the chart below. Gold And BTC. Source: @damskotrades On X 
The next outlook now is that Bitcoin will continue its larger Stage 5 move 
like we saw with Gold and Google (Alphabet Inc.). The projected move is 
expected to push the Bitcoin price into macro cycle highs above $200,000.
