Bitcoin Cycle Top Phase Nears Completion
Bitcoin enters the final stage of its cycle with signs mirroring 2015–2017. Altcoins may follow soon.
- Bitcoin is approaching the Cycle Top Phase based on Stochastic RSI
- The market structure reflects the 2015–2017 bull cycle
- Altcoins could soon follow Bitcoin’s upward momentum
Bitcoin appears to be entering the Cycle Top Phase (Phase 4) of the Stochastic RSI cycle, signaling a critical stage in the current market rally. While the phase hasn’t fully completed, several indicators suggest that momentum is building toward a major top — similar to patterns observed during the 2015–2017 cycle.
Notably, the current data structure closely resembles that of the last long-term bull cycle. Back then, Bitcoin reached its euphoric peak only after an extended consolidation period — something we’re seeing again in 2025. This comparison gives traders and investors a familiar framework to anticipate what’s next.
Historical Patterns Echo a Bullish Outlook
Many analysts prematurely called for the end of the cycle earlier this year, citing macroeconomic uncertainty and slower-than-expected price action. However, Bitcoin’s resilience and the reemergence of momentum indicators like the Stochastic RSI suggest that the top has not yet been reached.
In fact, this late-cycle strength has historically led to some of the most aggressive price movements. Back in 2017, it wasn’t until the final leg of the cycle that Bitcoin made its parabolic run — something many believe could repeat in the current market.
Altcoins Ready to Ride Bitcoin’s Wave
As Bitcoin gains traction, Altcoins are beginning to show signs of life, echoing the lagged surge that often follows Bitcoin dominance. This phase has typically been a golden window for traders looking for higher risk-to-reward plays outside of BTC.
If history repeats, the completion of Phase 4 could trigger a broad-based rally, lifting the entire crypto market into new highs. Patience has paid off for long-term holders — and the coming weeks could be critical in defining how this cycle ends.
