Bitcoin (BTC) will confirm its “parabolic phase” if BTC/USD delivers a weekly close above $71,500.
That is according to the popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital, who, in one of his latest X posts, called time on BTC price consolidation.
BTC price on the verge of “parabolic upside”
Bitcoin may have frustrated traders with nearly eight months of “re-accumulation” after March’s old all-time highs, but that reset may now fuel a raging bull run, Rekt Capital suggests.
“Once again, the rules are that a Weekly Candle Close above ~$71500 would kickstart the breakout from the Re-Accumulation Range,” he explained.
“But after an extended ReAccumulation Range of over 200+ days after the Halving, Bitcoin faces a very, very limited prospect of additional consolidation and chances for a confirmed breakout are higher than ever before.”

An accompanying chart compared the current bull market with Bitcoin’s previous breakout year of 2020, when it passed $20,000 for the first time after three years of waiting.
Unlike then, the early record in March resulted in BTC/USD hitting bull market goals earlier than previous cycles — something which the reaccumulation period has now redressed.
“In fact, thanks to Bitcoin’s 200+ day Post-Halving Re-Accumulation, BTC has impressively reduced the acceleration in the cycle from 260 days to only 13 days,” the post continued.
“Therefore, BTC is still technically in a slightly accelerated cycle, but that lingering rate of acceleration is nowhere close to what it was back in mid-March 2024 (i.e. 260 days).”
What comes next will surprise few longtime market participants: a “traditionally longer bull run.”
“Nonetheless, a Weekly Close above $71500 would confirm a transition away from the ReAccumulation phase (red) into the Parabolic Upside phase (green),” Rekt Capital concluded.
“History suggests it is just about time for it.”

Exchanges see second-biggest stablecoin inflows

Some see six figures next, while 2025 is set to deliver $130,000 or more.
Meanwhile, data from onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant reveals mass influxes of stablecoins to exchanges — traditionally a sign that an extended crypto bull run is about to hit.
“Following the US presidential election results yesterday, a substantial $9.3 billion worth of ERC-20 stablecoins were deposited into cryptocurrency exchanges,” contributor MAC_D wrote in one of its Quicktake blog posts on Nov. 6.
“This marks the second largest influx of ERC-20 stablecoins since their inception.”
