Not many people are noticing what’s happening on Bitcoin’s weekly chart, but the pattern is becoming clearer.

Bitcoin $BTC tends to move in cycles. It pushes up strongly (impulse moves), then slows down and pulls back (corrections). These moves aren’t random they usually follow a repeating rhythm.

Before the recent highs, Bitcoin was climbing in strong waves. The pullbacks were getting shorter, and the upward moves were getting faster. That’s usually a sign that a cycle is nearing its peak.

After that run-up, the behavior changed. Instead of strong pushes higher, price started moving sideways with lower highs. This kind of action often shows that the market is cooling off, with traders taking profits rather than starting a new big uptrend.

If this pattern continues like in past cycles, Bitcoin $BTC may stay in a consolidation phase for a while before going through a deeper correction to fully reset the cycle.

A real sign of a new bullish phase would be strong, consistent upward moves again not just short bounces, but sustained momentum.
