History repeats itselfOANDA:EURUSD
Here’s a technical analysis of the higher timeframes, specifically the monthly chart for EUR/USD.
As clearly visible, price action is currently moving within a respected descending channel. The saying "history repeats itself" seems particularly relevant here, especially in the context of Trump’s presidency. While this topic has been discussed frequently, I wanted to highlight the striking similarities once again.
The current market cycle closely mirrors the previous one from 2016-2017 — in terms of structure, timing, and volume. At present, we appear to be in the distribution phase, which is far from complete.
It’s quite plausible that we may see further downside before another significant move to the upside begins. If we take the 2017 distribution phase as a reference (lasting approximately 300 days), the current phase has only been unfolding for around 80-100 days.
Of course, there is no guarantee that price will rise again — but I consider it very likely that this market cycle has not yet fully played out. Technical analysis on higher timeframes often provides stronger probabilities and a clearer picture of the overall trend.
On the right-hand side of the chart, I’ve marked a weekly imbalance (not directly visible on the monthly chart), which aligns with the 50% retracement level of the Fibonacci tool. I view this confluence as a strong potential entry for a swing trade targeting the upper boundary of the descending channel.
This outlines my current trading outlook.

Predicting the Next Bitcoin 200MA Peak Using Exponential DecayIn my ongoing study of Bitcoin market cycles, I noticed a compelling pattern in the behavior of the 200-day moving average (200MA) across bull markets. Specifically, I observed that the percentage rise of the 200MA from each cycle bottom to cycle top is decreasing over time, and this decline follows an exponential decay pattern.
Historical Observations:
• 2015 Cycle Bottom to 2017 Peak:
The 200MA increased by approximately +686%
• 2018 Cycle Bottom to 2021 Peak:
The 200MA increased by approximately +450%
This pattern suggested to me that the next peak in the 200MA might continue this decaying trajectory. To estimate this, I applied a simple exponential decay model using the two previous data points:
y(t) = A.e^{-kt}
Solving for the next value (t = 2), the model predicts an approximate increase of +296% in the 200MA from the current cycle bottom to the expected peak.
Implication for the Current Cycle:
Assuming the 200MA bottomed around $16,200, a +296% rise implies a target 200MA near:
$16,200 x (1 + 2.96) is approx. $64,000
This aligns remarkably well with the 2021 bull market top, reinforcing the idea that the previous all-time high (~ GETTEX:64K –$69K) could serve as a strong macro support level once this cycle matures.
Conclusion:
If this exponential decay pattern continues, we can expect the 200MA to peak around $64,000 during the current bull cycle. This target also coincides with historical resistance turned potential support, making it a critical level for long-term investors and swing traders alike.
This type of decay-based modeling, while not exact, offers a unique lens through which we can assess Bitcoin’s macro behavior across cycles. I’ll continue to monitor how this projection plays out and refine the model with new data as the market evolves.
BTC - Will we repeat last year price action?Bitcoin (BTC) has recently been trading within a relatively wide range, fluctuating between the $108,000 and $74,000 levels. Over the past several months, the asset experienced a notable decline from its local high of $108,000 down to a low of around $74,000. However, since reaching that bottom, BTC has been on a recovery trajectory, climbing back up toward the $106,000 region as of May. This rebound has brought renewed optimism to the market, but the key question now arises: is this upward momentum sustainable, or is it merely another temporary relief rally within a larger consolidation phase?
To evaluate the potential sustainability of this move, it is insightful to compare the current price action with that of exactly one year ago. In the same May period last year, BTC was also trading within a defined range, between $73,000 and $56,000. The pattern that unfolded then may offer clues as to what might happen next.
At that time, Bitcoin formed a double top, a classic technical pattern that often signals weakening bullish momentum. This structure developed over two distinct peaks, let's call them Point 1 and Point 2. Following the double top formation, the market began to retrace, initiating a decline that led to the creation of Point 3. This low established a key trendline, marking the beginning of a longer-term structural setup.
After bouncing from Point 3, BTC managed to rally once more, approaching a new all-time high but falling just short. This rally formed what can be referred to as Point 4, and notably, this occurred in May, exactly where we are now on the calendar. However, this attempt to break to new highs ultimately failed. The market lost momentum, and BTC turned downward once again, culminating in another test of the established trendline. This next low, which we can label Point 5, occurred in July and served as the third touchpoint of the trendline, reinforcing its significance.
Fast forward to the present, and it appears that Bitcoin may be following a similar structural path. The current price action suggests that Points 1, 2, and 3 have already been formed in recent months. The bounce that we’re witnessing now could potentially be developing into Point 4, mirroring the rally seen last May. If history were to repeat or even slightly rhyme, we may be approaching a local high, after which the market could face renewed downward pressure.
Such a move would align with a third touch of the longer-term trendline, potentially occurring in the coming months, perhaps around July, just as it did the previous year. Furthermore, this prospective downside move would also serve to close a daily Fair Value Gap (FVG) that has remained largely unfilled, a technical factor that many traders are currently watching.
In summary, while the recent price recovery in Bitcoin is encouraging, a closer examination of past market structure and recurring seasonal patterns suggests caution. The market may be setting up for a local high in May, followed by a potential retracement that would once again validate key support levels and trendlines. Whether this scenario plays out in full remains to be seen, but the parallels with last year’s behavior are worth noting for any trader or investor closely monitoring the charts.

Bitcoin Is Final Stages Of A Bullish CycleBitcoin is still bullish and the rise looks impulsive on the monthly chart, but cyclically, we are in the late stages of a 3-year bull run that can end this year, ideally around October 2025. There’s actually still about 5 months of a bullish trend to complete 35 monthly bars, like in previous bullish cycles, so we may easily see more gains this year from a technical perspective.
Next year we should be aware of a bear market that can last at least 12 monthly bars or one year.
Wyckoff Cycle - Practical Example (SUI)Dear TradingView community and fellow traders,
I am Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
I find the SUI daily chart to be intriguing as it appears to be following the famous Wyckoff Cycle.
I would like to apply Richard Wyckoff's four market stages/phases to this chart for analysis as a practical example.
1️⃣ Accumulation
SUI rejected the $0.50 round number and entered an accumulation phase, consolidating for several months.
2️⃣ MarkUp
After breaking above the accumulation range at $1, SUI kicked off the markup phase.
3️⃣ Distribution
SUI found resistance at the $5.50 round number, with the lower bound of its range near $4—forming a wide distribution phase.
4️⃣ MarkDown
Once SUI broke below the $4 major low and exited the distribution zone, it transitioned into the markdown phase.
🔄🔄🔄🔄🔄⬇️
1️⃣ Accumulation
After finding support around the $2 round number, SUI hovered within a range, forming another accumulation phase.
2️⃣ MarkUp
We're here 🙂 This week, SUI broke above the $2.80 major high and the accumulation range—signaling the beginning of a new markup phase.
❓ What's next?
Will SUI continue to trade higher from here, or will this cycle play out differently?
I hope you find this post useful, and I would appreciate your likes and support.
Which scenario do you think is more likely to happen first? and why?

BTC - From Bullish to Extreme Bullish...Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
🏢 BTC Building Blocks:
📈 Bullish:
BTC is currently trading within the second floor, between $92,000 and the previous all-time high (ATH) at $109,000.
As BTC retests the $96,000 demand zone, we’ll be looking for trend-following long setups!
📈 Extreme Bullish:
For the momentum to shift from Bullish to Extreme Bullish and enter the price discovery phase, a break above the previous ATH around $109,000 is needed.

Ethereum has been highly volatile and is rapidly losing value.Ethereum has been highly volatile and is rapidly losing value. This is not only due to actions taken by Trump but also because of the looming recession that many analysts are predicting. But will this recession truly materialize, and if so, will it also impact the crypto market?
The recession is most likely to continue affecting traditional markets, especially financial firms. Tech companies have already suffered significantly and may face an additional decline of up to 20%. Ethereum will also be affected, as it is not classified as a digital currency but rather as an asset—primarily due to U.S. regulatory policies.
This means Ethereum is tied to recessionary trends. Since the crypto market hasn't yet entered its own growth cycle, which is still expected to come, we may still see a short-term drop in price down to around $831. After that, our mid-term price targets are up to $2,460.
Sell in May, if you're g....ame to miss out.
Bitcoin needs to reach a 60 day cycle high above $90k AND close the next 60 day cycle above ~84k to stand a chance at keeping hopes for a right-translated cycle alive.
Failure to do this will make the previous top of $109k look much stronger as the left-translated cycle top and crush many dreams.
Even if momentum for a right-translated top stays alive through these targets in the 60 day cycle, most people are delusional calling for highs of $169k - $250k, these expectations are baked in and will likely not be reached--too much complacency on these price targets.
If we do see a right-translated cycle top towards November of this year, it's likely the top will be just barely higher than previous ATH and crush many expectations. Many will fail to take profits and will get stuck bag-holding for 4 years.

Why the Bitcoin Pi Cycle Indicator will not trigger this cycleIn this post, we’ll take a closer look at the Pi Cycle Indicator and explain why we believe it is unlikely to trigger in this cycle. Instead, we present an alternative signal that may better indicate the true Bitcoin top.
Understanding the Pi Cycle Indicator
The Pi Cycle Indicator has historically been highly accurate in predicting Bitcoin cycle tops. It consists of two simple moving averages:
The 111-day simple moving average (SMA) (blue)
The 350-day simple moving average (SMA) multiplied by two (green)
A signal is generated when the 111-day SMA crosses above the multiplied 350-day SMA, which is marked by a red vertical line.
Why This Signal Alone Isn’t Enough
While this signal has been useful in the past, we believe it doesn't provide the full picture—specifically, it doesn’t indicate how strong the crossover is. By transforming this indicator into an oscillator that measures the ratio between these two moving averages, we gain a more nuanced perspective:
In the chart, the green line represents the ratio between the two moving averages. When it crosses above the red horizontal line (ratio > 1), a Pi Cycle signal occurs (marked by a red vertical line). Notably, the 2017 signal was significantly stronger than the 2021 signal, suggesting a pattern of diminishing returns. We highly recommend checking out our post on diminishing returns and the overall timeline for the current cycle here . Additionally, we've developed our own Bitcoin model that factors in the effects of diminishing returns. Check it out here .
The TRUE cycle top signal
The key question is whether this diminishing return is strong enough to prevent a signal from forming in this cycle. Based on our analysis, we believe it is.
By extrapolating this trend into the future using a white diagonal trend line, it becomes clear that the ratio will likely remain below 1, meaning no crossover is expected this cycle.
Instead, we anticipate that the next Bitcoin top will occur at a ratio of approximately 0.9 , as indicated by the orange area on the chart.
In summary, while the Pi Cycle Indicator has been a reliable tool in previous cycles, its diminishing strength suggests that it may not trigger this time. Rather than relying solely on this metric, we suggest considering looking deeper into the true value of this indicator instead.
Are we building a possible Super-Cycle & leave the 4-year cycleChart shows comparison to the last two cycles which have been scaled to match this cycle.
With all the differences this cycle has offered, the early run before the halving, the long drawn out mini bear market retracements, but yet all the bullish news for Bitcoin and Crypto from here on out in the U.S.A, might we not experience a traditional bear market and instead play out a Super Cycle instead? It seems to me like this is, or could be playing out like the beginning of a Super Cycle. A move that takes Bitcoin into the millions. Just the same large parabolic run, similar when you zoom out and view the traditional Dow/S&P Stock Market as a whole since the 1980s. I suppose the absence of a deep and long bear market could be another clue that indicates this theory, until then it's just a theory and time will tell all....
