Bitcoin (BTC) Breakout Looms: Is a Massive Surge Coming Soon?

The Bitcoin price is approaching the top of its bull flag once again. Will there be a definitive breakout? If the breakout is weak, or if it fails to happen, could this be the beginning of the end for this current bull market cycle?

A changing Bitcoin cycle?

If Bitcoin is to make this current bull market cycle one of the more successful ones, the price is going to need to break out soon. On the other hand, some analysts believe that the typical 4-year cycle is changing, and that the sheer amount of institutional money entering the Bitcoin space will push the end of the cycle out to Q1 or Q2 of 2026.

If this is going to be the case, the Bitcoin price would have plenty of time for more consolidation before heading into the final phase.

However, if we are still in the 4-year cycle, the clock is starting to run down, with only three or four months left before a potential blow-off top at some time in November perhaps?
