Bitcoin enters 7th week of uptrend, analysts warn of potential correction

Jakarta, August 18, 2025 – Bitcoin (BTC) is back in the spotlight after recording six consecutive weeks of rallies. However, analysts warn that a price correction may be on the horizon, as BTC approaches the seventh week of its “price discovery uptrend” phase .

Halving Cycle Correction: Historical Pattern Comes Back to Haunt

According to popular analyst Rekt Capital, the post-halving Bitcoin market cycle is usually characterized by successive uptrend phases followed by significant corrections.

• In previous cycles, the first uptrend usually ended in week 6 to 8.
• While the second uptrend tends to stop sooner, in weeks 5 to 7.

Currently, Bitcoin is in the 7th week of its second uptrend, with the price trading around $115,532 (Rp1.86 billion), below the record high of $124,500 (Rp2.01 billion) reached last week.

Potential Correction of 30%: In Line with 2021 and 2017 Patterns

If the historical pattern repeats itself, BTC risks a decline similar to previous corrections.

• In early 2025, the first correction brought the price from around $110,000 (Rp1.78 billion) down to below $75,000 (Rp1.21 billion), or about 30%.
• Sharp corrections like this are nothing new in the crypto bull market, but rather part of the “price discovery correction” dynamic .

Will a New All-Time High be Hit in Q4?

Although the risk of a correction has increased, many analysts believe the decline paves the way for a larger rally later in the year. Daan Crypto Trades analysts highlighted a historical pattern where markets often register rapid declines ahead of strong rallies in the fourth quarter (Q4).

“Any big flush in the next 1-2 months could be the last correction before the explosive rally at the end of the year,” he explained.

Data from CoinGlass shows that August already recorded a +2.1% increase, slightly above the historical average of +1.8%. However, September is usually a red month with an average correction of -3.8%.

With prices still well above the levels at the beginning of the year, any correction that occurs in the next few weeks is likely just part of the healthy cycle of a bull market. For crypto investors, this signal could be an accumulation opportunity before Bitcoin accelerates towards a potential new all-time high in Q4 2025.
