Unpopular opinion; BTC at 100kShort and sweet; Btc is quite a bit oversold on the weekly rsi, and looks like it might be forming a bearish divergence. Price has hit the 1.618 reverse fib retracement. BTC hasn't traded above the red trend line, stretching back to the highs of 2017. Sad as it might be to say, we are at or very near the end of this run.
Marketcycle
Monthly Chart v. Weekly Chart May Indicate TroubleSince every dollar of price action is raising concern in either direction, let’s take an in-depth look at what’s happening with the price of Bitcoin.
On the weekly chart (left), we can see the RSI is just starting to pivot and we can see the Stochastic RSI will have a cross in the coming weeks, usually indicating an uptrend. Price action has been within the same range for about three months, building healthy market structure. Then we get to the monthly chart.
The monthly chart (right) is showing slowed momentum. We can see in the Stochastic RSI that the orange line is on top of the blue line – usually a bearish indication. This has me a bit concerned and considering how we’ve had ranged price action and are dropping from an RSI of around 80, it may be a warning sign of what's to come.
Take a look at the green arrows on the monthly chart. Every time the purple line crosses above the yellow line, we see a price rally. Now look at the red arrows. When we see the purple line cross below the yellow line, price falls. The first red arrow you see, that was about a 70% drop. The second red arrow you see was about a 52% drop from the next pivot in momentum and a total of a 73% drop once RSI bottomed.
This is when you want to have your strategy in place for if the weekly chart champions the monthly chart or if we do in fact have that RSI monthly purple line cross below the yellow and we go lower. Be ready for whatever the case may be! I'm thinking it's probable we may see a 50% drop before seeing all-time highs and the rally we've all been waiting for.
Buying Silver at 22$ based on H.Marks Cycle theory.Risk and Time are in opposite sides of a coin. Meaning what is unknown equals risk. Markets are forward pricing mechanism, meaning when something is known - usually was already priced in (bought with risk).
H.Marks theory was you should buy things in advance, when there was hypothetical most risk; in practice it would be the least risk (as shown in graph). As long as there were hedges and drivers? You cant measure future demand?
Here key words were economic gravity and inflation trend (unknown). Once we saw inflation in mid-January -> we could start placing bets on silver (22$).
//Highest profit comes from buying in advance (combining w/ 200dma cycle?). When something is "risk-free" or certain -> it has 50-50 chance of profit and loss in both directions?; when something is "small risk", certain has small returns.
//this works as long as there is 1:5 potential.
Using S5TH (spx stocks above 200dma) as an oscillator timing cycPretty cool feature. You can use the 9month moving average in S5TH (spx stocks above the 200dma) to time the market cycle. Figure out the upward momentum (with help of game theory and TNX cycle). In practice and theory peoples options should be predictable because everyone act in their self-interest, seeking safety (hypothetical riskfree) and potential.
I use this as an oschilator (like RSI).. above 50% reading is bull market (because more than 50% stocks above it's 200dma).
This thing points to bull market to at least like 2025 summer. Worth noting that business cycle and TNX patterns are key here.
Eur/jpyI will look all the yen pair based on my analysis on usdjpy.
As USD/JPY has higher interest differential compared to eur/jpy ,so it would follow similar pattern.
this is the usd/jpy analysis
So I think there is an opportunity to get into the countertrend setup to the level of resistance before we analyze for short!!

FOUR MARKET PHASESAll stocks go thru 4 stages, sometimes each stage can last months or even years, and it's not always easy to recognize like it is on this chart.
Stage 1: Accumulation - buyers coming in stopping the down fall, and the stock starts trading sideways. (Wait)
Stage 2: Markup - Bullish phase, where traders and institutions start buying the up trend. (Buy)
Stage 3: Distribution - where institutions and traders start taking profits - selling. (Sell)
Stage 4: Decline - shorts recognize this stage and start shorting the stock. (Avoid)

Monthly wicks respected although the monthly candle actually closed in it's lower 3rd I'm bullish on all TF's
181.60 is a valid MP, OB, TL/Retest, FVG and last weeks opening price...
IF we pull back this far we will also be hitting the 0.7 fib level and I fully expect this level to hold

Innovation boosts P/E ratios - P/E ration evolvesTechnological Innovation is Compounding
Technological progress has huge impact on the P/E ratios of companies and the S&P 500. Technologically advanced companies naturally have a higher P/E as it's expected from them to have better future earnings. One of the ways better future earnings happen is through efficiency leaps. These efficiency leaps are important to businesses' margins but it all comes down to:
better tech = more efficiency = lower costs = higher earnings = higher P/E
These innovation cycles bring efficiency leaps that are linked to P/E ratio waves.
We can observe in this chart that the P/E ratio has cycles that coincide with innovation cycles. There were, of course, macroeconomic factors and wars that impacted the P/E, but high P/E can be explained by innovation cycles.
We can also see that each innovation cycle will have higher P/E ratios than the previous. By looking at this chart, it feels that the P/E ratios still have room to grow.
BTC 230127 Outlook on D chartThere's not a large amount of institutional money in BTC. Due to this, I use a loose interpretation of Wycoff paired with Elliot and Fibinocci.
I feel we established a solid floor for potential Wycoff phases to play. I feel we swept the liquidity built by early buyers. While this spring was atypical, it did provide a perfect grab for sellers who believed we would continue deeper. The textbook setup was there, but the volume showed a different story. Just as much buying volume and some last-minute consolidation.
This would be aggressive entry levels, and I felt there was a fake CHoCH to keep sellers fooled. This was a beautiful area for bulls to accumulate. Further proof of this came when the impulse wave began.
I do believe it is too early to draw Elliot waves. I want to see this impulse finish. Should it finish here, I expect us to head back to the ST zone. If note, we continue up to the next high.
🧠 THE CYCLE OF MARKET EMOTIONS📍 When starting a trading career, much emphasis is placed on trading strategies, technical analysis, and indicators, which is important. However, as traders gain experience, they may discover that analysis and strategy become more intuitive as they find their specialization in the market. On the contrary, trading psychology often demands significant effort from most traders.
It is often overlooked that trading psychology is developed through practice. Some argue that simulated trading lacks realism and cannot adequately prepare traders for the emotional aspects of trading. However, this holds true only if traders have not yet learned to trust a tested strategy.
The market emotions run the gamut from fear, despair, hope, anxiety, and even euphoria. It is so common to experience these emotions that you can actually expect them to occur in a predictable cycle. We call it the market of emotional cycle.
📌 Think of it this way: we all start out with optimism – optimism that we are going to make lots of money in the market. Over time we may have trades go in our favor and make lots of money. However, if we aren’t in tune with the normal price cycle of the market, we can ride our profits all the way back down, leading us to despair.
The goal, of course, is to become a trader who learns to manage his emotions and make wise decisions. Instead of hope and fear and greed, become a process-oriented trader who can trust his judgment on the market. In the upcoming TV ideas, we will make a deep dive on each parts that effect the trader's psychology and why it does so.

Nasdaq -> What A Short SqueezeHello Traders,
welcome to this free and educational multi-timeframe technical analysis.
On the weekly timeframe you can see that over the past couple of weeks, the Nasdaq had an insane rally towards the upside of roughly 25% and is now approaching weekly resistance.
Considering the fact that the overall trend is still very bullish I just do expect a short term rejection away from the $14.800 resistance area and then I definitely do expect the continuation of the bullrun.
On the daily timeframe you can see that market structure is still very bullish, there is still no sign of the Nasdaq slowing down yet, so there could be the possibility that we will see more continuation towards the upside to then retest the next major previous daily resistance at the $15.200 level before we will then see a short term drop.
Thank you for watching and I will see you tomorrow!

History Repeats Itself with LINK?I have two different trading channels highlighted on the chart. The first predates the post-corona bull market. The second shows a long period of consolidation on the Chainlink weekly chart.
The first channel lasted for a year before LINK exploded to ATH over $50. The second channel marks a year in May 2023. Chainlink has completed a full market cycle and if this period of consolidation matches the last one, we'll see some explosive moves upward from Chainlink sometime in the next six weeks. This upward move should find resistance at the 200MA, but that will also come about 2x from the current price point.
Enjoy, NFA.
Bitcoin cycles: comparison and forecast (must know)
We are currently in the new bullish cycle on Bitcoin, based on physics, statistics, mathematics, and logic. But the market can sometimes be unpredictable and go to zero. In this case, we are all doomed.
This is the LOG scale on the weekly / 2W chart. That basically means we can't go up at the same rate and angle because bitcoin would cost more than $10 billion in the next few years.
This analysis is not a trade setup; there is no stop-loss, entry point, profit target, expected duration of the trade, risk-to-reward ratio, or timing. I post trade setups privately.
On this particular chart, the bull market from 2015 to 2017 has an angle of 48 degrees. The bull market from 2019 to 2021 has an angle of 35 degrees. The prediction is that this current bull market has an angle of 27 degrees.
On this particular chart, the bear market in 2014 has an angle of 51 degrees. The bear market in 2018 has an angle of 51 degrees, which is the same value as the previous bear market. Bear market 2022 has a lower angle of 44 degrees than the previous. The next bear market in 2026 should have a similar or lower angle than the previous bear markets.
From a time perspective, classic bull markets last for 1064–1071 days, and bear markets last for 364–406 days, as you can see on the chart. With this data, we can predict that the current bull market is going to end sometime in September 2025.
Hit "like" right now if you think this is an interesting analysis!
I know more about Bitcoin than the majority out there, and I have been trading it for a long time—longer than the majority out there. Bitcoin moves in cycles because of the halving events that cut in half the reward for miners.
Now the question is: What is the price going to be in September 2025? Well, Bitcoin is not going to make you extremely rich. It's too late for the party; you should join in 2010 or 2014, when people got rewarded for their skills to buy Bitcoin cheap and early. But still, bitcoin is a store of value and will increase your wealth by a significant amount, compared to gold or stocks. 140,000 USDT is a reasonable target for 2025!
If you want to make 100x or 100000x your money, the only option for you is to search for hidden gems or use high leverage on the futures market with a trading system and strategy. Both are indeed very hard and risky, but they're doable!

Black Swan Event: The Biggest Crypto Market Risk!In today’s article, we will be discussing a risk known as Black Swan Event. Now what is the Black Swan and why it is considered as the most unexpected event in the course of any economic crisis is the greater factor to be discussed.
The most unexpected event that has the maximum possibility to occur in the market is called Black Swan, this term was first coined by NYU professor and economist Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
The main attributes that shape the possibilities of Black Swan events:
Unpredictability
Potential Severities
Widespread impact
According to Taleb:
A black swan is an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences.
They are impossible to predict due to their extreme rarity, yet have catastrophic consequences, it is important for people to always assume a black swan event is a possibility, whatever it may be, and to try to plan accordingly.
Some believe that diversification may offer some protection when a black swan event does occur.
Black swan events are characterized by their extreme rarity, severe impact, and the widespread insistence they were obvious in hindsight.
Extrapolating, using statistics based on observations of past events is not helpful for predicting black swans, and might even make us more vulnerable to them.
The last key aspect of a black swan is that as a historically important event, observers are keen to explain it after the fact and speculate as to how it could have been predicted. Such retrospective speculation, however, does not actually help to predict future black swans as these can be anything from a credit crisis to a war.
What is the impact on Institutional markets?
We know that somehow, we can use normal factors of prediction and probability over mass numbers of people like the result predicting based on Normal distribution curve, for such things, even the extrapolation method is not working.
Hence Black Swan can take the market in any form that is not predefined, that can attack a market with several forms like crashing of prices and regulatory risk of digital exchanges.
What are the two different types of Black Swan risk?
Black Swan occurs within two types one is the positive impact and another one is a negative impact, now the inability to predict the accurate possibilities is the driving force behind the execution of the Black Swan event.
Any clampdown on the trading of cryptocurrencies and other digital money can directly crash the prices of other currencies.
The crackdown of Cryptocurrency exchanges by any third parties or other factors can also be counted as the Black Swan effect, many particular exogenous events can be forced to occur like:
Inverse Volatility
The crackdown of Crypto exchanges
Regulatory risk of Crypto exchanges
Low liquidity and low trading volume
Having said that, 2022 has been the year of the “Black Swan” throughout the world of cryptocurrency. From the fall of LUNA to the insolvency of 3AC, Celsius, FTX and now BlockFi, the market has taken major hits in value and credibility. Each one of these events seemingly was viewed as a once in a lifetime event.
To sum up, the Black Swan event is described in the following summarized manner:
This event is so rare that it has many unknown possibilities occurring suddenly.
Also, the impact is so huge that it can have a catastrophic effect.
The hindsight conclusion if the prediction comes as true.
Conclusion
At last, one could conclude that many events could turn into a Black Swan in crypto trading such as, Network Congestion where everyone is rushing to have Ethereum and it subsequently raises the price of gas.
In this case, when Black Swan occurs, the problem increases tenfold times and also this affects the liquidation process and also low-value transfers can simply attack the blockchain system.

The Ultimate Bitcoin Market Cycle Cheat SheetIn this post, I'll be providing an explanation on market cycles referring to specific time periods and fibonacci support and resistance for key lows and highs.
This post is not financial advice. This is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
This post was inspired by @CryptoCon_ on twitter.
Time Periods Explained
- The chart may appear extremely messy, but let's break everything down one by one.
- I first marked all November 28ths of every year on the chart, starting from 2012.
- We can divide each cycle into a span of four years:
- The first cycle lasting from Nov. 2012 to Nov. 2016,
- The second cycle lasting from Nov. 2016 to Nov. 2020,
- The third cycle lasting from Nov. 2020 to Nov. 2024,
- and the fourth cycle beginning in Nov. 2024, ending in Nov. 2028.
Again, keep in mind that this is an extremely speculative approach, based on the premise that what happened in the past, will continue to happen in the future in a similar manner.
We can divide each of the cycles into 4 different phases.
Phase 1: New All Time Highs
- The first phase is the phase of a new all time high.
- At the end of the first phase, Bitcoin marks its new all time highs.
- Such was the case in 2013, 2017, 2021, and I expect it to be the case in 2025 as well.
Phase 2: Bear Market
- The second phase is the bear market phase.
- After we see new all time highs, we start to see a decline.
- In 2014, Bitcoin corrected 78% from its all time highs,
- 85% from its all time highs in 2018, and 75% in 2022.
Phase 3: Accumulation
- This is a phase of accumulation.
- However, this is not to say that we will only see sideways action.
- From 2014 to 2015, we saw a classic price action of accumulation,
- and from 2018 to 2019, we saw a textbook accumulation pattern, followed by an echo bubble.
- However, it is imiportant to note that this echo bubble (or more specifically, its burst) is what set up the foundation for a massive bull rally that led to new all time highs.
- According to this cycle, we are currently seeing Phase 3, where I expect a similar echo bubble to take place. I’ll elaborate more on the current status later.
Phase 4: Recovery
- This is the phase of recovery. This is where we know that the price has bottomed out already, and that we set off to rally towards new all time highs.
- Interestingly enough, all Bitcoin halving events took place in the 4th phase of this cycle classification.
Estimates for Cycle 4
- For the current cycle (cycle 4), I believe that the echo bubble thesis is in play.
- The Fed cannot taper forever, and there is still enough liquidity to be injected into risky assets.
- Despite Bitcoin moving from $16k to $23k in a matter of days, the interest from the general public is nonexistent.
- I believe that a move to 30k is highly likely, and that depending on market situations, we may even see a move up to $45k in the end.
Comparison of Past Echo Bubble
- Let’s compare the current situation to that of the echo bubble in 2018-2019.
- In 2018-2019, we saw Bitcoin rally 268% in an echo bubble. A move from $16k to $45k, today’s echo bubble, would account for a 211% move.
- As for the degree of correction, in 2018-2019, we saw the price slash in half once again - a 56% downward move.
- Taking that into account, and applying the same figure in today’s market situation, that would mean a correction from $45k to $23k.
- If we trace fibonaccin lines based on this speculation, this gives us a target price of $105k per Bitcoin by 2025.
- As for the bear market that will follow, we can expect a bottom to form around $36k, although it’s likely that prices will almost definitely hover below this level.
Statistics
- Let’s take a look at some patterns we can spot in terms of statistics:
- In the first cycle, Bitcoin dropped 77.99% from its all time highs
- In the second cycle, Bitcoin dropped 83.64% from its all time highs
- In the third cycle, Bitcoin dropped 76.64% from tis all time highs
- Assuming that Bitcoin drops 75-85% during the bear market after peaking at new all time highs, anticipating a 65% drop in 2026-2027 would be a conservative, yet realistic estimate.
- As for the returns Bitcoin provided every cycle;
- In the first cycle, Bitcoin delivered 43,236% returns from the lows to highs.
- In the second cycle, it delivered 9,134%, which is a 78% reduced figure compared to the previous cycle.
- In the third cycle, it delievered 2,102%, a 77% reduced figure compared to the previous cycle.
- In the fourth cycle, the current cycle, if it reaches $105k all time highs, it would be delivering a 524% return from its lows, which is a 75% reduced figure compared to the third cycle.
Conclusion
In this post, I take a very rudimentary, speculative, yet simple and direct approach in analyzing Bitcoin’s cycle through this specific framework. This analysis aims to provide a general understanding of when things happen, and to what degree they take place. Based on this framework, I believe that we could see an echo bubble take place in 2023, with Bitcoin reaching $45k, before it corrects down to $23k. Around the end of 2023 to 2024, we would see a phase of recovery in which Bitcoin slowly crawls back up, until it reaches new all time highs of $105k in 2025 before correcting down below $36k in 2027.

The "So-Called" Psychology of a Market Cycle!Greetings Dear Investors and Traders, today CryptoQueens, an educational post regarding the so-called Psychology of a Market Cycle.
When making investment decisions, investors have a wide variety of tools at their disposal. While these tools can form the basis of a sound investment thesis, their effectiveness is limited by one’s emotions. Allowing emotions to dictate decisions is a common mistake made by many investors, yet they may not even realize it. People experience different emotions during these market cycles ranging from fear to greed. Below we will analyze, as well as you will find attached in the chart image the different emotions experienced by investors during market cycles which overwhelms the majority of the traders:
Disbelief:
This phase happens after the bottom has been hit. There is a sense of disbelief among investors about the rally. They believe just like it happened in the past few months, the markets will fall again. Their fear of making another mistake causes them to miss the optimal window to re-enter the market.
Optimism:
During this phase, the realization dawns on most of the investors that the rally is real. Investing during this phase if stocks are chosen well can give good returns.
Enthusiasm:
This is the time when the majority of investors are convinced about the market rally, therefore market demand rise. They believe that now is the time to be fully invested. Some naysayers still don’t believe in the market rally and advise caution.
Euphoria:
This is the phase where there is irrational exuberance in the markets. Investors share a collective dopamine as they think that they are genius because they made a fortune. It is advisable to stay cautious during this phase.
Overconfidence/Greed:
Investors continue to increase their positions despite high volatility.
If you buy during this phase, you are sure to lose money, whatever you buy.
Anxiety:
Fear sets in, as losses begin to mount.
Investors believe that the dip is taking more time than expected. This is the the moment when people are notified with margin calls due to the recent market fall. Anxiety kicks in.
Denial:
The herd ignores the market signs as market demand weakens. They believe that since their investments are in great companies, they will bounce back.
Panic:
Herd mentality takes over and market participants rushes to sell leading to widespread selling even at losses. This is a good time to buy extremely selectively for the long term as it may be very difficult to know even for well-informed investors whether we are in the denial phase, panic phase or capitulation phase.
Capitulation:
Market Participants accepts their losses and completely exit the market. They are selling close to the bottom of the cycle.
Agony/Anger:
Steep losses take a psychological factor in many investors and they start to blame the government, or anything correlated, perceiving it as market manipulation.
Depression:
This is the period when investors believe that their retirement savings are gone and their financial security is affected. They even start blaming themselves for investing. However, markets inevitably starts to recover.
Conclusion:
As an investor, you need to recognize these signals and never lose sight of the bigger picture. It is like Warren Buffett once mentioned. Be scared when others are greedy and greedy when others are afraid. Therefore, keep an eye on the fundamentals and behavioral factors that influence the market and always remain ahead of the game. Make sure you include this in your trading plan before to take action on it.
