Correction ahead? Or the beginning of the next bear cycle?

109
The bull run has been ongoing since October 2023, and we are beginning to reach the final stages. This is the final push, likely a significant one, but there is strong long-term resistance and trends around the $115,000 mark. Altcoins are starting to gain momentum, but institutions are accumulating and absorbing new supplies, putting upward pressure on Bt prices. The U.S. dollar (DXY) is weak, making Bitcoin appear artificially high compared to alternative currencies, such as the Sterling and Euro, with a new all-time high roughly 15% away for GBP and only 2% for dollar.

The NUPL (Net Unrealized Profit/Loss) is currently high, indicating that a significant proportion of holders are in profit, which places us in a state of greed. Short-term holders are selling their positions, while long-term holders continue to accumulate. However, this trend is likely to lose momentum in the next price increase, as long-term holders may sell to free up capital for a potential bear market.

Furthermore, inflation remains high, and retail investors are finding it challenging to invest, which makes it less likely that they will engage with Bitcoin at its current levels. This indicates that a period of enthusiasm among retail investors is less probable. Additionally, outflows from ETFs have been shown to quickly impact prices negatively.

Bitcoin is projected to continue its price discovery upwards, potentially reaching $112,000 and possibly even higher before fear sets in, leading to profit-taking, which could significantly affect the price. Many investors may perceive this as a peak and anticipate a subsequent bear market.

While this cycle could be different, I remain skeptical. I believe that what I term GOB (Greed, Overconfidence, and Belief), which is the opposite of FOMO, will come into play and lead to a market crash.
Trade active
Bitcoin is currently on its latest upward trend, which began on April 8th. It will either need to break down or continue upwards to maintain this trend in the next couple of days. A breakdown will likely result in a re-test of the support at 86k.
Trade closed: target reached
Bitcoin is testing its support at 105k, the next supports are 102k and 97k.
Note
Buying level is now 45k..... Upside:downside ratio of return is too low to buy it at these levels unless your DCA.
Note
Possible head and shoulders pattern forming on daily... Buyer beware. This is often a strong indicator of a reversal, or the top, and a prelude to a major correction.
Note
Head and shoulders pattern has formed on the daily, very likely a correction is imminent, as this pattern historically has been at market tops and prior to corrections.
Note
Where do we go from here, correction happened as predicted, but will this be the start of the bear or a healthy correction?
