Bitcoin Set for “Mega Expansion” as Chart Signals Parabolic Price Spike

According to CryptoCon, Bitcoin is setting up for what he calls a “mega expansion” phase, one that could lead to faster and more dramatic price increases heading into the end of 2025.

CryptoCon, a popular analyst on X, recently shared an interesting perspective on Bitcoin's price action in Cycle 4. While many traders might be focused on the lack of gains in BTC for most of this cycle, CryptoCon sees it differently.

According to his analysis, Bitcoin has spent 1.86 years in a ranging phase. This is marked by long periods of consolidation, like the 192-day range in late 2023 and the 238-day stretch into mid-2024, where BTC makes little upward movement.

However, despite the lack of gains for the majority of the cycle, Bitcoin has managed to rally sharply in short bursts. In total, CryptoCon tracks these expansions as adding up to 5.76 months.

Most Of Bitcoin’s Gains This Cycle Happened In Just 36 Days

The interesting part is that most of Bitcoin's meaningful gains have happened in just 36 total days across the entire cycle, where price action hit new local highs. Four of those days came recently, which CryptoCon highlights as a possible early signal that the next big wave is just getting started.

A Mega Expansion May Be Right Around The Corner

CryptoCon believes that we’re on the edge of another breakout. After observing a small 2-day expansion in early 2025, he’s projecting that the next move could be the largest one yet—what he calls a “mega expansion” phase.

This run could last up to 213 days, potentially taking Bitcoin price into six-figure territory by December 2025. This part of the cycle is when CryptoCon expects the classic bull market parabola to kick in.

As he puts it, “Once we reach more new ATHs, the genie is out of the bottle.” This suggests once BTC clears certain resistance levels and sets new all-time highs, the move could accelerate quickly and catch many off guard.

The idea behind this chart is simple but powerful. Most of Bitcoin's time has been spent going nowhere. But when it moves, it really moves, and we might be just days or weeks away from the kind of run that defines an entire cycle.

CryptoCon’s data-driven look at Cycle 4 provides a compelling reason to watch BTC closely through the second half of 2025.
