BITCOIN The implications of this week's 4H MA200 rejection.Perhaps the biggest development this week for Bitcoin (BTCUSD) has been the clear rejection exactly on the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line). Typically when that takes place during an uptrend, it favors more the dominant (bearish) trend than prepares a switch to a bullish reversal. But let's see how similar patterns have developed price actions in recent cases going as far back as the 2018 Bear Cycle bottom.
First I need to make clear that the RSI indicator on the panes below the chart is on the 1D time-frame and not the 4H. First case is the December 2021 pattern, which as you see had also a clear 4H MA200 rejection, then a marginal break above but that wasn't enough with the price extending the bearish trend all the way to 33000 before stabilizing.
In June 2021 the price broke almost 2k above the 4H MA200 before being rejected to make a marginally Lower Low than the one that led to the 4H MA200 and then stabilize and gradually prepare a strong Bull run to a new All Time High.
Now going back to the December 2018 Bear Cycle Bottom, the 4H MA200 test came just 5 days later with the price clearly breaking above the 4H MA200 but as with the previous cases, dropping back below the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line). This time however it didn't make a Lower Low, holding the December bottom which gradually gave way to the accumulation that paved the way for the May - June rally.
Notice how on all cases, the 1D RSI printed the same pattern. And practically it was only when BTC broke above the 1D MA50 (red trend-line) that a recovery was established (though in the case of 2021 didn't last for long, even though it made Higher Highs). The 1D MA50 is currently at 34390.
What do you think? Do you expect Bitcoin to make one last push lower based on this model? Or reverse to a bullish trend if the 1D MA50 breaks first? Feel free to share your work and let me know in the comments section below!

BTC Analysis - Keep An Eye On The Ascending Trend LineHello Traders, here is my analysis for BTCUSD.
Tonights post is going to be short again, there really haven't been any new major developments so my technical analysis from my prior posts are still applicable.
The only change from yesterdays analysis is that BTC is now trading on an ascending trend line. As you can see price has bounced from the trend line 3 times which is a good indicator that traders are playing this trend line.
- As long as BTC bounces from this trend line the trend is intact.
- If price drops below the trend line then the trend is no longer valid and we will need to re-asses for the next trend.
- If price did drop below, this trend line could potentially act as resistance later on so keep that in mind.
That's it for tonight's analysis, thanks everyone and best of luck trading!
BTC Analysis - Understanding Price Action Within ZonesHello Traders, here is my analysis for BTCUSD.
I'm sure a lot of you are concerned after the large drop in price BTC faced today. At the moment there is nothing to worry about...
- As traders we let the chart guide us
- The key support levels are still intact and have not broken. Until that happens BTC is still in a position to make the next move up.
Use the chart as a guide to help you understand any future price movement and what it could potentially mean.
- As long as BTC holds the Support Level around $28.5, there is nothing to fear. That would just be more "Consolidation".
- If BTC breaks below $28.5K then be slightly more cautious however BTC could still retest the low around $25K and create a double bottom before getting a bounce and making a move back up.
**The "line in the sand" is if BTC breaks the $25.2K support level. This is where I would become far more Bearish and would expect BTC to dump.
That's it for today's BTC post. Remember, the market is designed to push people to the brink of fear and anxiety to extract as much capitol as smart money can from the pockets of inexperienced traders. Read the charts and don't let the FUD affect you.
Thanks everyone and best of luck trading!
BITCOIN The Channel that is dominating the trend since 2019Bitcoin (BTCUSD) is now on the third week (1W candle) after the May 09 weekly low and the first week (so far at least) that is green after a historic streak of 9 red weeks. For this analysis I am using the 1W time-frame as it better displays what I want to show you today and that is a Fibonacci Channel on the log scale that started after the June 24 2019 1W High.
This Channel has so far four perfect touches, the June 24 2019 (Higher High) 1W candle, the March 09 2020 (Higher Low) that was the COVID crash, the March 08 2021 (near Higher High) and the recent May 09 2022 1W candle as the new Higher Low. Or at least if it holds it will be classified as a Higher Low because as the longer term Cyclical models show, Bitcoin tends to price a Bear Cycle bottom on the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line), which is now at 22190.
The similarities both in price and RSI terms between the two sequences within the Channel are remarkable. The 2019/ early 2020 pattern started rising within a Channel Up after an aggressive correction. Then as the price turned bearish and broke below the the 1D MA100 (red trend-line), the new correction started with the 1D MA100 rejecting, which only broke once in both cases. That was the last break (where also the 1W RSI broke above its (yellow) MA line) before the final capitulation. In March 2020 that was the COVID crash, in 2022 it remains to be seen if the May 09 1W candle is the equivalent.
There is a Resistance formed be the last break above the 1D MA100 in both cases. In 2020 when the price broke above it, the new Bull Run started. We can also claim that it was when the 1W RSI broke above its MA trend-line that the trend entered into long-term bullish territory again.
Do you think this Channel will hold and continue to dictate the price action? Or Bitcoin will eventually hit the 1W MA200 as prior Cycles did? Feel free to share your work and let me know in the comments section below!

BITCOIN Summer 2021 Déjà vu?Just a quick Sunday fractal analysis on Bitcoin (BTCUSD).
Since the late March 2022 High, the price has dropped to a little more than -47%, trading below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) for more than 1.5 month. The sequence I compare this to is the drop from the May 10 2021 High, which initially bottomed at a little more than -49% then made a Lower Low shake out on June 22 2021 and after trading sideways, the consolidation/ accumulation ended on July 25 2021 when the price broke above the 1D MA50 again.
A similar 62 day consolidation puts a potential end to a sideways trend on July 13 2022. The LMACD being already on a Bullish Cross and the RSI rising after breaking below the 30.00 oversold barrier, are identical between now and 2021. DO you think as this model suggests, that a break above the 1D MA50 will kick-start a new uptrend and if so can this be achieved in a deja vu manner by the end of July again?

BITCOIN The huge significance of the Cyclical Pivot Trend-lineSince my recent analysis on the 'Buy Zone since April 2013' attracted so much interest and reactions by the community, I've decided to extend it. On the current idea, you see Bitcoin (BTCUSD) on the 2D time-frame with the Buy Zone and 1W MA200 (red trend-line present). This time, I've designated the current and past two Cycles with a Pivot line that I'm calling 'The Cyclical Pivot Trend-line'.
** The Cyclical Pivot Trend-line **
This trend-line starts as a Resistance on each Bear Cycle. Then after the 1st Half of the Cycle is completed (red Triangle), the price breaks above the pivot and trades within a pattern that resembles a Channel Up (blue shape), but always above the trend-line, until the bottom is made.
** The 2D RSI **
In the past two Cycles, this bottom was made exactly on the 1W MA200, which is currently around 22000 and rising. With the 2D RSI having reached below the 30.000 oversold level and rebounded, that bottom is certainly close. If the RSI breaks above its own Lower Highs trend-line, more particularly the (3) leg before the 1W MA200 is hit, then that would mean that the Bear Cycle's Bottom is already priced.
This could mean trading sideways within the blue Channel Down as Bitcoin did in late January - early February 2015 and late December 2018 - January 2019.
So how important do you think this Cyclical Pivot Trend-line is at the moment? Do you think the bottom will be priced on the 1W MA200 or will the RSI break upwards meaning it's already priced in? Feel free to share your work and let me know in the comments section below!

Bitcoin still not decided which way to goBitcoin is going sideways for a while and may continue this path for longer time. Right now it doesn't look good to enter a trade, I would rather stay away until we get better signals. It may go down to 28K before the weekend, and if it does, it may continue the downtrend as the weekend is no good for trading.
Just stay aside and wait for trend confirmation.
BITCOIN The Golden combo Bottom rule. Are we that close?This isn't the first time I use the time Fibonacci levels along with the horizontal retracement levels when comparing past Cycles on Bitcoin (BTCUSD), but it may be more relevant than ever to refresh your memory as we are getting close to the desired buy levels on the long-term.
This chart is on the 1W time-frame and first and foremost is dictated by the Halving events, where I've also included the next one (Halving 4 in March 2024). The time Fibs start from one Halving event and end on the next one. The horizontal Fib retracement levels measure from the bottom of the Bear Cycle to the top of the next Bull Cycle.
As you see, the bottom on each of the past two Cycles has never been priced below the 0.382 horizontal Fib or after the 0.618 time Fib. At the same time, a confirmed buy on a cyclical basis, was always when the 1W RSI hit the 30.00 oversold level and the 1D MA200 (red trend-line) crossed below the 1W MA100 (green trend-line) to form a Bearish Cross.
Right now, the 0.382 Fib is roughly around 21300, just below the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line), while the 0.618 time Fib is on September 19 2022. That means that based on this model, it is very unlikely to see a price bottom below 21300 or after the coming September. Is the price already good for you to make a long-term buy or will you wait for the 1D MA200/ 1W MA100 Bearish Cross and the 1W RSI 30.00 reading?

BITCOIN The accurate LMACD bottom projectionOn this analysis, I am looking into Bitcoin (BTCUSD) on the 1W and 1M time-frames and how a certain LMACD level has previously revealed the bottom.
** The LMACD's Triangle **
The chart on the left is on the 1W time-frame. This isn't the first time I approach the LMACD (MACD indicator on the logarithmic scale) using this method, I've mentioned this a couple years ago, but as you see, the LMACD has been trending within a Triangle pattern. The indicator is very close to the Higher Lows trend-line (bottom) of the Triangle. If you notice, the price bottom of BTC's Bear Cycles has always been marked before the LMACD touched the Higher Lows trend-line on every Cycle. In fact, in January 2015, it didn't touch that trend-line and before it made a Bullish Cross, the bottom was already priced in. This Cycle's LMACD final correction phase is much more similar to 2014/15 then the other Cycles.
** The LMACD bottom trend-line and the RSI Support **
Perhaps the most important indication that the LMACD can give us in long-term Cycle analysis is on the 1M time-frame, which is the chart on the right. As you see, every Cycle bottomed before the 1M LMACD hit the Higher Lows of the Triangle. That trend-line is common on every Cycle and happens to be the 0.7 Fibonacci retracement level (0.14). That was the level that the 1M candles of January 2015 and December 2018 made bottoms on the 1M MA50 (blue trend-line). Most likely, the LMACD will touch this level by the end of this month.
Also it is interesting to point out how symmetrical the Highs and Lows are in this Triangle. Naturally the first High and Low were on the 0.0 and 1.0 Fib respectively. The ones that followed were on the 0.1 and 0.9 Fibs, while the last High was on the 0.3. If this symmetry continues, the current Low should be on the 0.7, so besides its historical importance, we have another reason to expect a bottom there.
At the same time, we shouldn't ignore the 1M RSI, which is approaching the 43.70 - 44.50 level, which has been its long-term Support Zone since its inception. Most likely by next month the latest, the RSI will make contact with that Support. Note that in January 2019, which was the last Support test, the price bottomed the month before.
** Conclusion **
This is an indicator that has never failed so far and for those who remember or have been following me here, it was the indicator that helped me project the bottom of the 2018 Cycle. Do you also think that Bitcoin will price the bottom by the end of this month? Feel free to share your work and let me know in the comments section below!

Which support zone does BTC have to reach on to recover up?On 5th of may bitcoin was trading at $39600.Decreasing from that point,it had fallen to the lowest of $25600 on 12th of may.this all happend between just 7 days.then,bitcoin surged a bit next day and since then bitcoin is trading between $29000 and $31000 till now.it has been seven days so far.
I am not a professional trader,but according to my perspective,if bitcoin breakes the resistence of $31000 it can go back to the price of $40000.
BTC Update - Next Target @ $25,000The 4 Hour chart is over bought.
Momentum is dying and it looks like BTC will be on its way down soon.
Opening longs here might not be the best idea while inside this bear flag / pennant however you want to look at it.
Small bounce expected once it hits #5.
Entry Between:
$30,791.00 - $29,414.00

BITCOIN entered a Buy Zone holding since April 2013.On today's Bitcoin (BTCUSD) analysis, I am bringing to you a fresh long-term perspective on the 1W time-frame using the Fibonacci Channel and its retracement/ extension levels. It is a Channel Up as you see and its start is on the Low of the April 08 2013 1W candle.
** Creating a 9 year Buy Zone **
The Top of the Channel is on the November 25 2013 peak of that Cycle. As you see, all the Cycles and price action that followed since then has seen the Zone within Fib 0.0 and Fib 0.236 as the ultimate Buy Zone being valid for 9 years running. In fact during the previous Bear Cycle (2018) the price dipped only marginally below the 0.236 Fib as its was the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) that provided the necessary Support and formed the bottom.
It was only during the Black Swan event of the March 2020 COVID global meltdown that the price pierced through but still rebounded just above the Fib 0.0 (bottom of the Fibonacci Channel Up) and the 1W candles closed only marginally below the 1W MA200. That was the case also with the Jan 12 2015 and August 24 2015 Lows, they broke but closed on or above the 1W MA200, showcasing why it is the ultimate buy spot within this 9 year Buy Zone.
Notice that, excluding the COVID crash of March 2020, the 0.236 Fib has made perfect hit and hold actions as Support 5 times since December 2018.
** The Zone of Frustration **
Since the January 03 2022 1W candle, Bitcoin has been trading (closing) entirely below the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line). I have labelled the periods of price action within the 1W MA50 and 1W MA200 as the 'Zone of Frustration' where traders start to get confused at best or lose complete faith in the market. Right now it seems that we are approaching the end of this period. Notice how this is normally marked by a strong rejection on the 1W MA50 (March 28 2022 and July 30 2018 1W candles. In 2014, it was a near rejection on the November 10 2014 candle).
** The Rally Zone **
The 0.236 Fib is also key on another aspect of this Channel. In 4 times during these 9 years, it has marked all major rally phases. Basically it is at least the 0.236 - 0.618 Fib Zone that is dominating most parts of those rallies. Naturally that means that, if it holds, it can give a new rally in the coming months towards the 0.618 Fib.
** Conclusion **
This model shows that 1W candle closings above the 0.236 Fib of the Channel most likely indicate that this will be the new Support. Last week's bounce above it, adds more weight to this argument. Regardless of that, Bitcoin successfully entered this Buy Zone since 2013, so based on the above parameters, it is already a strong long-term buy with the only condition left to fulfil is hitting the 1W MA200.
Do you think this is bound to happen in the next few weeks? Are you waiting until then or do you consider the break into this 9 year zone as a good enough buy opportunity for you on the long-term? Feel free to share your work and let me know in the comments section below!

BITCOIN Comparing 2 year corrections. Conditions for a bottom.Bitcoin (BTCUSD) has seemingly recovered from the correction of the first 2 weeks of May and is trading +20% higher from the May 12 Low. However the question remains, can this recovery be sustained or the bottom isn't yet in? A comparison with the corrections of 2020 and 2018 can help us draw meaningful conclusions.
Let's see the similarities and differences between the 2020 and 2018 corrections.
** 2020 vs 2018 **
Similarities: Both confirmed their recovery and started a new uptrend when the price broke above the Lower Highs trend-line form the last Top. That roughly matched the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line).
Differences: While the 1D RSI broke well below the 30.000 oversold level in both cases, in 2020 it achieved a price bottom for BTC, while in 2018, a price Lower Low was made for the bottom despite the fact that the RSI was rising.
That bottom was made exactly on the 1W MA200 (red trend-line), while in 2020 the price dropped considerably below the 1W MA200.
** Today **
The correction since late March resembles so far that of 2018 in terms of the 1D MA50 and 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) and in terms of the total drop percentage as so far it has completed a -47%, not far off the 2018 -52%. A -52% would be approximately around $23150, just over the 1W MA200, which in 2018 formed the bottom.
However it terms of RSI, it resembles more the 2020 correction, as the RSI is rising along with the price.
So where does this leave us in terms of speculation? The common parameter in those past corrections, is that the market confirmed a sustainable rise when the price broke above the Lower Highs trend-line, which is also roughly where the 1D MA50 was. Right now the 1D MA50 is at $38623 but dropping fast due to May's aggressive correction. Long-term traders and investors have much better chances buying once BTC breaks above this trend-line. Our thesis is that, we will most likely see sideways price action before the Lower Highs/ 1D MA50 break, meaning that we may see a 2 month consolidation. Can this be this Bear Cycle's Accumulation Phase?

Bitcoin good setup for uptrendIn the hourly timeframe, the Bitcoin is showing correction signs for at least the next 12 hours:
1) Bullish Divergence
2) Bullish Inverted H&S
3) Strong Support at 29200
4) Many engulfing green candles starting from the support line
5) Buyers coming in and pushing the price up despite the big red candle at the left MA Cross (green dotted hairline, A big movement in this area)
6) Trendline counts as another support
7) The hourly 9ma crossing above the 21ma is even better.
A continuation of the last uptrend is highly likely. We will retest the 31000 line and if we break through it, we may see the 32199 which is a bit hard to go through. In case we pass the 31000 resistance and get rejected at the 32000 one, we may go sideways for a long while.
This is not financial advice. Please do your own homework.

Now is the time to load up on Bitcoin as of May 8th 2022 we turned purple a period in Bitcoins cycle that has only happened 5 or 6 times in all of its history , indicating that we are extremely under valued.
There is even extreme cases where you can see a dash of black in the middle of some purple periods showing actual bottom of cycles.
BITCOIN Closed 7 straight red weeks for the 1st time in history!Bitcoin (BTCUSD) closed this weekend its 7th straight red weekly (1W) candle, which is a feat seen for the first time in history. More specifically, the last time we had 6 straight losing weeks on Bitstamp was from August to September 2014:
** Healthy stock market needed **
Needless to say, this development is very negative for BTC, especially from a psychological standpoint as the market being full of weak hands and late buyers during corrections, it tends to be dominated by fear, uncertainty and doubt. That accelerates more selling until the market stabilizes and high capital investors (whales, big institutions etc), enter the market again methodically.
Much will of course depend on the outlook of the stock market. Once the correction that began at the start of this year ends and the disappointing macro-economic environment stabilizes, institutional investors can again enter the riskier crypto-market. Until then we can expect more of that volatility at best.
** First week below 31600 since Dec 2020 **
However there is a certain basis we can work on and a few patterns to relate to. First, last 1W candle wasn't just the 7th straight red but was also the first weekly closing below 31600 since the December 21 2020 1W candle, thus reaching levels of almost 1.5 year back. The 1W MA200 is now at 21960 and as I've mentioned in previous posts, it is the weekly Support of the typical Bear Cycle.
** The importance of the 0.5 Fibonacci level and the 1W MA200**
Also last week's candle, left a big wick below as it rebounded strongly from roughly 25400. Such candles were last seen on November 29 2021 and May 17 2021. Both of those started a consolidation of at least 1 month. The difference was that the November one failed to break its 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level, thus kickstarting further decline, while the May one eventually broke above the 0.5 Fib, shifting the trend to bullish. The 0.5 Fib is currently a little over 35000. A weekly close above it, could be enough to restore the long-term bullish bias, even though technically there is still the massive Resistance of the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) to consider which rejected last time the uptrend (March 2022). A weekly closing below last week's low, should deliver the, much anticipated by the majority of market participants, capitulation blow on (and even slightly below) the 1W MA200, where Bear Cycles bottom out and typically consolidate for 4-6 months before initiating the new Bull Cycle.
So what do you think will be the case this time? Will the market deliver the 1W MA200 to us? Or if the 0.5 Fib breaks, a new Bull Phase will start regardless? Feel free to share your work and let me know in the comments section below!
P.S. The last time the 1W RSI has been that low was on the March 09 2020 1W candle, which was the bottom of the COVID crash.

BITCOIN The MFI and 2W MA100 Golden Bottom IndicatorsMy latest Cycle analysis on Bitcoin (BTCUSD) is again geared towards estimating the bottom of the current (smoothest of all time as I've called) Bear Cycle that we are in. This time I am shifting to the 2W time-frame as a unique indicator combo is displayed.
** The 2W MA50 and MA100 **
The red area indicates the time from the start of the Bear Cycle to when a 2W candle closes below the 2W MA50 (blue trend-line) for the first time. As the chart shows, this has so far been fairly consistent throughout the Bear Cycles as in 2014 that lasted 378 days (27 2W candles), in 2018 it lasted 336 days (24 2W candles), while on the current Bear Cycle it took again 378 days (27 2w candles) as in 2014.
Then I measure the time it took from the 2W MA50 closing to the time the price hit the 2W MA100 (green trend-line). In 2014 that was 28 days (2 2W candles), while in 2018 it was 77 days (6 2W candles). That sums the time from the start of the Bear Cycle to the 2W MA100 touch at 406 days and 413 days respectively.
** The MFI indicator **
Perhaps the most important addition to the mix is the Money Flow Indicator (MFI), which gives a buy signal when it hits the 25.50 level. It has done so on the January 05 2015 and the January 21 2019 candles. Both of those hits, marked a Bear Cycle bottom as the price was at the same time on the 2W MA100. The June 18 2018 MFI 25.50 approach doesn't fall into that category as, not only the indicator wasn't on the 25.50 level but the price hasn't closed below the 2W MA50.
** Conclusion **
This simple analysis shows that the market bottoms when the 2W MFI hits the 25.50 level while the price trades on the 2W MA100. The MFI is currently around 33.40, while the 2W MA100 at 21825. Note that the only time Bitcoin closed below the 2W MA100 was in March 2020 during the COVID global crash and still that was just marginally. As far as timing is concerned, if the current Bear Cycle follows the pattern of 2014, then it should bottom by the May 23 2022 2W candle and if it follows the pattern of 2018 it should bottom by the June 20 2022 2W candle.
But what do you think? Do you estimate that a bottom is not far away and if so, will it be on the 2W MA100 or lower? Feel free to share your work and let me know in the comments section below!

BITCOIN Comparing Capitulation phases among Bear Cycles.As the current 1W candle on Bitcoin (BTCUSD) is rising, leaving a big wick below, prompting to capitulation events, it is a good idea to compare the current 2021/22 Bear Cycle to the past ones (2018 and 2014) in an attempt to determine how low the price can go and where a bottom may be formed.
** The importance of the 1W MA200 **
As seen on the charts on the left, every Bear Cycle hit the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) as it formed its bottom. It is important to mention that it is the closing of the 1W candle that matters are in both cases, but more so during the 2014 Bear Cycle, the 1W candle broke below the 1W MA200 but managed to close back above it, leaving a big wick behind it, much like this week's candle. The 1W MA200 is currently at $21850 and rising rapidly with each week.
** The Accumulation phase Fibonacci extension bottom **
Both of the Cycles mentioned above, entered a 4 - 7 month sideways phase following the hit on the 1W MA200. This was in my estimate the Accumulation Phase that helped the market in transitioning from the Bear to the new Bull Cycle. Once the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) broke, Bitcoin confirmed the new Bull Cycle.
** The 1W MA50 **
Speaking of the 1W MA50, its role is also key throughout the Bear Cycles. As shown all all charts, when the Bear Cycle starts, the initial drop always makes a direct hit on the 1W MA50 and then the price rebounds for some months. The exception is of course the current Cycle which made a Higher High in November 2021 but still we have to consider this a technical anomaly and take April 2021 as the Cycle's Top. Remember that I always treated the current Bear Cycle as a special case, calling it the 'smoothest of all time'.
As the Bear Cycle progresses, the 1W MA50 turns into a Resistance for the latter part of the Cycle, in fact in 2018 and 2022 it provided strong rejections.
** The Fibonacci extension bottom **
Circling back to the initial drop to the 1W MA50, if we measure the Fibonacci extensions on the past Cycles from that point to the Top, we derive very useful conclusions. For the 2014 Bear Cycle, the Bottom was made on the 1.618 Fibonacci extension (all 1W candles closed above it), even though as mentioned at the start of the analysis, the 1W candle made a capitulation candle with a wick that reached as low as the 1.786 Fib extension.
The 2018 Cycle made a Bottom on the 1.5 Fibonacci extension. If this is a progression, then each bottom is made one Fibonacci level before. This means that the current Cycle may bottom out on the 1.382 Fib ext, which being roughly at $21950, is around the current level of the 1W MA200. This not only matches perfectly the 1W MA200 criteria that we discussed before, but also is in line with the diminishing returns/ lower volatility theory which suggests that as massive adoption takes place and institutional capital is invested, each Bitcoin Cycle will be less volatile, offering diminishing returns, but at the same time not the brutal corrections of the past.
As you see the past two Cycles made a roughly -85% correction. If the current one bottoms on the 1.382 Fib, then it would be a -66% correction. Still big but considerably less than the Bear Cycles of 2018 and 2014.
Also notice how the current 1W candle almost reached the 1.236 Fibonacci, always a strong Support during asset corrections.
** The 1W RSI break signal of 30.000 **
Last but not least, keep an eye on the 1W RSI. The 2018 and 2014 Cycles, made a bottom when the 1W RSI broke below the 30.000 barrier, turning oversold. That took place exactly on the market bottom and then the Accumulation Channel started. Right now the 1W RSI is a little below 35.000. Even a flat multi-month consolidation can be enough to get it marginally below 30.000, not to mention another brutal 1W candle to the 1W MA200. In any case, even if the 1W MA200 doesn't get hit this time, keep an eye on the RSI 30.000 barrier as an additional market bottom indicator.
Also notice how the 1W RSI is descending in each Cycle, and even in the case of the current one (2021/22), it didn't make a Higher High despite the fact that the market did in November 2021. The Bear Cycle RSI pattern remained intact.
** Conclusion **
So what do we learn from the above? Well the current 1W candle may very well be a capitulation candle similar to that of November 19 2018, which pushed the price to the 1W MA200 three weeks later. A hit on the 1W MA200 (and candle close above) and the 1.382 Fib would be a strong indication of a market bottom but the 1W RSI breaking below 30.000, might be an even more powerful. In any case, as the current 1W candle almost hit the 1.236 Fib and the 1W MA200 is rising rapidly, the 24600 - 21850 is a massive candidate for the Bottom of this Bear Cycle. If the stock market stabilizes soon, we should start witnessing buying from long-term investors and institutions within a month's time.
But what do you think? Where do you expect this Cycle to make a bottom? Is the 1W MA200 a could projection or look more for the 1W RSI breaking 30.000? Feel free to share your work and let me know in the comments section below!

BTC Daily Chart Prediction & Target AreasBTC Bitcoin has now fallen below the yellow support trend line and is testing the previous lows from mid 2021. I'm expecting a bounce in this area, potentially back up to the red zone around $35,000 which would be an excellent opportunity for shorts, especially if it meets the VWMA 100 on the daily chart in that zone.
I think it's likely it falls after touching the red zone, VWMA 100 or blue downtrend line. My guess is that it chops around in the triangle area for a while and tries to get supportive on the yellow lines. That area lines up well with the previous top of $20,000 and also the bottom of what I call the bounce zone which is the purple cloud shown on the chart. That bounce zone is made up of the EMA 1000 and EMA 2000 and the EMA 2000 was the absolute bottom for Bitcoin after the 20k to 3.5k drop in 2018/2019.
I'll be looking for wicks down below the yellow lines and for price to stay supportive in that area and make higher lows once it gets there. It will definitely meet resistance at the blue line when it gets there, but once we clear that blue line it should start to slowly move upwards again. Watch out for low volume pops while we are in this lower triangle as those will likely be bull traps.
I'm a big fan of using the VWMA 100 and 500 for trend detection so I'll be looking for the VWMA 100 to be above the VWMA 500 as well as price staying supportive above both VWMAs before being bullish again. It is also very likely that price comes back down and retests the VWMA 500 after we break the downtrend. If it does happen, price will need to stay supportive on the VWMA 500 and then reclaim the VWMA 100 before really starting the beginning of the next bull run.
It is important to note that regaining enough momentum to start another bull run takes time and price will likely consolidate for an extended period of time, so keep that in mind when entering margin longs as margin fees will eat away at your profits while you wait. Wait for major volume to come in to avoid these situations.
If we go into a major recession, then I don't think the 20k level will hold. But if we only experience a mild recession and most markets start to recover semi-quickly, I think it is very possible that the scenario outlined above will happen(or very close to it).
