BITCOIN - Analyzing previous Bitcoin cycles combined with DataIf you look at the monthly chart of Bitcoin and examine the three previous cycles in crypto, you can see where we currently stand. This doesn’t guarantee that we’ll go up from here, but it does show that the chart often follows a similar pattern every cycle.
Price movements are a universal phenomenon seen across all charts in various sectors, not just crypto. Often, you’ll notice an asset testing its all-time high (ATH) and then taking a “breath.” After that, the asset typically moves beyond its ATH and embarks on a bullish journey.
The market tends to become more greedy once it surpasses the ATH because it means everyone in the market is in profit. Of course, it depends on what you bought, but the principle remains the same.
I see a lot of people worried about where we’re headed next. Nothing is for certain, but stop reading the news and worrying about recessions. England and Germany are currently in recessions and have just broken their ATHs. Recessions have nothing to do with price action.
Many are also concerned that the markets will crash once the rate cut season starts, which is highly likely to occur in September. However, historical data suggests otherwise. If you look back 70 years, the S&P 500 has averaged an 11% return one year after the first rate cut.
By using data and following cycles, like the one below and the 18.6-year real estate and economic cycle, it becomes much easier to handle the drawdowns and negativity you hear around you.
Using Fibonacci retracement, I believe we could see a top for Bitcoin around $150-200K before the next bear market.

QQQ sold off today and plummeted in after hoursQQQ started to finally show selling with momentum for first day in nearly a week of slowly selling.
It looks as though distribution phase has passed and selling with momentum has begun.
After hours etf continues to slide dramatically
Bulls have lost with bears firmly in control at the moment
The after hours sell we are experiencing now could possibly cause it to gap down on open then get filled in the morning before selling continues.
BTC : Spot the DIFFERENCE - Why THIS TIME is DIFFERENTYesterday, I made a very comprehensive update on why BTC likely has a hard drop coming - the only problem is it published the video on the BTC.D chart 🥴 So, you've likely missed it and I will repeat it here today because it's a VERY clear signal.
Altcoin dump happened BETWEEN the first turquoise and the purple vertical line, from halfway onwards:
Up until this point BTC did correct, but only around -27%. (BTC has currently corrected -33%)
The price THEN went on to drop another -20% before bottoming out at point 4 on the Elliot Wave Theory:
RECAP: What happened AFTER the 27% drop that led to another hard drop, ending at -50%? The BTC.D started INCREASING whilst BTC price DECREASED and TOTAL3 DECREASED .
Now look at the chart again, again at point 3 of Elliot Wave Theory (the second turquoise vertical line). In other words - we're still waiting to reach point 4.
The in-depth explanation here:

Get ready for a possible crashWe have reached the old ATH too early in the cycle and have been stuck in a consolidation for almost 6 months since then. This can end with a crash now. A final shakeout before the next wave up.
The situation is similar to 2019 - early 2020. Too high too early, then a long boring consolidation period, and finally a crash (triggered by COVID). The difference is that it happened in an earlier phase of the cycle.
October is statistically a bullish or neutral month in a bull run, so it's likely to happen either in September or November.
My target is 40K but a wick can be expected to reach as low as the 30K area. It's likely that we'll get a fast recovery so it's important to have a plan and act decisively.
GBPJPY - SHORT: Trade Recap, 27/08/2024Bias Analysis: Daily minor swing at equilibrium and 4H trading out of Order Block. 1H range was bearish with price at a 1H Order Block well within Optimal Trade Entry.
Entry Criteria: 15M protracted counter to my bias, swept upside liquidity and traded deep within the 1H Order Block before an engulfing candle printed.
Grade: High Quality Valid
What I did well or could do better:
- Exercised patience after the first 15M TBL sweep and reversal print as we had a shallow mitigation of the order block with a 1-sided fair value gap resting below.
- Observed the full picture and made a process based decision to enter, full accepting the risk.
- I could've been more mindful of inputting the correct data into my position size calculator as the position was too small.
BTC : HARD DROP Likely BEFORE New ATHHold on to your horses - in today's analysis we're going to do a really deep dive on Bitcoin, the altcoin market (TOTAL 3) and Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) Make sure you watch all the way until the end to reach the final conclusion!
In this video, I systematically point out two main reasons why the corrective phase isn't over, as well as what could possible happen NEXT based on the rotations between alts and BTC.

For months I've been anticipating a multi-month corrective pattern, before another impulse wave up which I believe leads us to our final all time high (ATH) for this bullish cycle. Although I've said "multi-month" quite a few times... who knew it would be such a drag! I nearly thought BTC was ready to turn towards the upside, but after THIS* happened (together with the analysis in the video) it's likely we're still heading lower:
*https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/h2bMes4J-BTC-FINALLY-Bullish-BREAKOUT/
THIS* is referring to my update on BTC two days ago, where it seemed like a bullish breakout. At this point however, the price is not able to hold the support zone (which was the condition I listed) and therefore it's likely a fakeout.

Position buyThis chart for TONUSDT (Toncoin against USDT) on a 4-hour timeframe seems to be highlighting an entry and exit strategy for traders. Here’s a breakdown:
Key Elements:
1. Best Entry Zone (5$) 🚀:
- The chart indicates that the $5.00 level is considered the "best entry" point for opening a long position, suggesting that the trader expects a price reversal or an upward movement from this level.
2. Take Profit 1 (TP-1) 🎯:
- The first take profit target is at $5.543, meaning that once the price reaches this level, traders may choose to lock in some profits.
3. Take Profit 2 (TP-2) 🎯:
- The second take profit target is at $6.144, where further profit can be taken if the price continues to rise.
4. Take Profit 3 (TP-3) 🎯:
- The third and highest target is set at $6.731, which suggests a more ambitious profit target if the price continues its upward momentum.
5. Stop Loss (SL) 🛑:
- The stop loss is placed just below $4.627, meaning that if the price drops to this level, the trade will be closed to limit losses.
Summary:
- Entry: Around $5.00 (best entry).
- Take Profit Targets:
- TP1: $5.543
- TP2: $6.144
- TP3: $6.731
- Stop Loss: $4.627
This is a simple risk management strategy where the trader aims to catch a bounce from the $5.00 level with multiple profit-taking points on the way up and a defined exit if the price moves against them.
