Gday 
Yah, there are quite a few articles and blogs discussing the repeating pattern, but somehow I just can't seem to place the exact one I meant (from maybe 6 months ago ?) Like that book you vaguely remember as a child, or that dream about that ... um ... thing, and it felt really, like, um ...
Yup:
But :
So, it rather looks like another peak is coming, but predicting specifics is worth little.
There had been a lot of articles that perused that similar graph/picture that comes with your OP, so it's hard to pinpoint a single article as a reference.

Anyway, your assumption is pretty much supported by historic charts, just look it up over the internet and you'll see that the cycle ends up higher than the previous cycle it was in. This time, however will be harder to know whether the next ATH will be higher than the 2017 one, knowing that it will take a lot more firepower to get this rocket surpassing $20k and higher.
Yup:
- the overall trend is clearly up,
- we've seen several sharp peaks (or bubbles) now
- each peak is much higher than the previous
- each one leaves price much higher
But :
- always uncertain, the future is
- past behaviour does not necessarily predict future behaviour
- BTC is different and new - hard to predict
- we can't know how the whales will manipulate things
- a new peak is expected and discussed, but when everyone KNOWS what will happen, it often doesn't
So, it rather looks like another peak is coming, but predicting specifics is worth little.
