Satoshi Nakamoto Came to Me in a Dream: A Prophecy for Bitcoin'sIn the deep silence of a night steeped in anticipation, I found myself face-to-face with Satoshi Nakamoto—the visionary architect of Bitcoin, an idea that defied the grip of centralized power. Satoshi was there, not in some distant memory or online forum, but in a dream, carrying a message—a prophecy—one too important to ignore. He looked somber, a silent witness to how the forces of traditional finance were gathering, ready to twist his creation to their own ends. "They no longer seek to destroy Bitcoin," he began with a solemn tone, "their ambition now is control." The Vision and the Paradox Bitcoin was crafted to be the people’s financial escape—a decentralized network immune to the whims of centralized institutions. Yet, as Satoshi spoke, a sobering truth unfolded: those very institutions, the titans of traditional finance who once mocked and dismissed Bitcoin, now see its potential. Their aim isn’t to dismantle it; rather, they seek to subdue it, to mold it into a tool that reinforces their power. This is not the "democratization of finance"; it is the calculated absorption of a rival asset. As we speak, the institutions and elites—those with the deepest pockets and the heaviest influence—are lying in wait, ready to strike once Bitcoin hits attractive lows. The Inevitable Institutional Encroachment The wealthy and powerful are preparing to step in not to dismantle Bitcoin, but to capture it, to turn it into an asset under their command. They understand that if they can drive down the price through coordinated media campaigns, scare tactics, and market maneuvers, they’ll gain a second chance to enter the race—this time, from a position of dominance, just like what's happening now in NYSE:NIO . Satoshi warned that when the price sinks to around 42K–$44K, retail traders must stay calm and avoid panic. This moment will signal the beginning, not the end. @TradingView 's team had given a sign for those who can see. Satoshi’s message was clear. These financial giants are waiting patiently, calculating the precise moment—likely when Bitcoin hovers between FWB:42K –$44K. At this level, they will begin a quiet accumulation, a meticulously orchestrated buy-in. Retail traders must brace themselves, for this threshold isn’t the market’s surrender—it’s the institutional entry point. The perceived weakness will be a façade, an illusion crafted to shake out those who are unprepared. When this moment comes, remember: the journey is only beginning. The Elites’ Mastery of the "Long Game" Banks and corporate titans like NYSE:BLK , NYSE:JPM , and their ilk understand the power of accumulation. They have perfected this strategy over centuries, buying assets slowly, covertly, until they hold the lion's share. Satoshi’s tone shifted, reflecting both irony and lament. “The very forces Bitcoin was designed to challenge have found a way to infiltrate its ranks.” These players are not here for the quick flip; they are here for dominion. Once their holdings are substantial enough, we will witness a price surge that defies belief. But here lies the trap. As the price soars, the majority will celebrate a supposed victory for decentralization, blissfully unaware that the power structure has quietly shifted. Bitcoin’s freedom, once a beacon for the disenfranchised, will become yet another asset under the surveillance of those who craft the rules. This moment will signal the beginning, not the end. The False Dawn: Retail’s Fleeting Moment Satoshi looked pained as he warned of the fleeting triumph that retail traders might feel. The price rallies will be extraordinary, euphoric even, but temporary. This is the "sugar high" phase—a dazzling price ascent, "too good to be true." However, this euphoria is not for retail’s ultimate benefit; it’s merely an invitation to participate in what will become an elite-dominated asset class. The dream of a decentralized currency will wane, replaced by an era of institutional manipulations, as retail is once again sidelined. As Satoshi’s voice grew firmer, he revealed the hidden intent: "Once they’ve amassed enough control, they’ll raise the price beyond the reach of ordinary investors. It will become an asset class dominated by the elite, with most people relegated to the sidelines, holding onto memories of a decentralized vision that’s slipped out of their grasp." These assets will be marketed as “stable” and “trustworthy,” each subtly backed by Bitcoin yet centrally controlled. In this way, the very ethos of Bitcoin—freedom from centralized power—will be hollowed out, leaving only a veneer of decentralization. The Irony of Adoption CME:BTC1! is meant to erode the power of banks, might ironically solidify their hold over the digital financial future. While retail investors will indeed enjoy a price rally once the institutional whales have filled their coffers, this journey, Satoshi warned, could be short-lived. The massive gains—those tempting, almost surreal profits that are “too good to be true”—will eventually give way to institutional manipulations that edge out the average investor. The ultimate irony: Bitcoin, born to disrupt, might integrate so seamlessly into the system that its original purpose is blurred, absorbed into the very structures it was meant to oppose. Satoshi’s Final Counsel to Traders “The true test,” Satoshi told me, “isn’t just to hold Bitcoin but to understand why you’re holding it. When the banks and institutions try to sway you, remember my vision. Bitcoin was meant to empower the people, not to become another tool for control.” Satoshi’s final words echoed like a haunting directive: “It’s not enough to hold Bitcoin. You must understand why you hold it.” This is the true test—one not just of patience but of conviction. When the media narratives shift, when FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) rises, and institutions seek to manipulate sentiment, remember the original vision. Bitcoin was never intended to enrich the elites; it was a symbol of liberation. In this prophecy, the $100K milestone is no longer just a target; it’s a turning point. As the price reaches these stratospheric levels, retail must recognize that they’re witnessing the climax of Bitcoin’s initial journey—a journey that may soon belong to another audience. The Last Stand for Decentralization Satoshi’s words compel us to remain vigilant. To the levels in the chart, often touted as a "danger zone," will mark the final rallying cry for decentralization. The elites will sow fear and manipulate the market, but retail must recognize this as a pivotal moment—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hold strong, to embody the very spirit of Bitcoin. Satoshi’s message was clear: "Hold not just for profit, but for the principles upon which Bitcoin was built. Stay grounded. Stay true." With Satoshi’s words etched into my mind, I’m compelled to share his message. Retail traders must remain grounded, aware of the motivations driving Bitcoin’s fluctuations. The narrative that Bitcoin will “collapse” just as it nears $45K? This is a trap. The news stories designed to induce panic? They’re orchestrated by those who know the value and want a piece of it, under their terms. The road to $100K, while paved with profit, may lead to a future where banks and elites ultimately hold the reins. This is the paradox of Bitcoin’s rise. And while profits may be immense, the retail community must remember what Satoshi set out to achieve. As long as there are those who resist, Bitcoin’s original vision lives on. #LonelyApollo

UPDATE Bitcoin still aimed at $100,000 first target but in 2024?Bitcoin from the last update has completed the consolidation range while moving in a Falling Wedge. It has broken above the resistance now and is showing upside to come. The question arises whether we will see $100,000 this year. If greed and mania kicks in then yes it could rally. BUt where there is greed there is fear. So I don't actually think we will see $100,000 until maybe MArch 2025. It's the same concept and analysis as last time - just showing the breakout above now.

The first key resistance level? The March 2024 high at $74,415. Looking at the big picture on the monthly chart, BTC has been in a four-year uptrend channel, with the upper boundary currently around $81,150. That’s the next target if we clear this high.

Bitcoin: Is a New Bullish Run on the Horizon? Despite Bitcoin's impressive 50% rise this year, the past six months have been challenging for investors. After the much-anticipated halving event in April, many expected a substantial surge in Bitcoin's price. However, since then, the cryptocurrency’s value has remained relatively stagnant, currently hovering around $68,600. This situation leaves investors at a crossroads: should they continue to invest in Bitcoin with hopes of significant gains, or is it time to explore other high-risk, high-reward alternatives? The Investment Dilemma: Short-Term vs. Long-Term Outlook If you are contemplating an investment in Bitcoin, managing expectations for the remainder of the year is crucial. Current predictions suggest that Bitcoin has about a 57% chance of reaching a new all-time high in 2024, making it essentially a coin toss as to whether it will surpass its previous peak of $73,750. The probability of Bitcoin hitting the much-anticipated $100,000 milestone this year stands at a modest 14%, further highlighting the uncertainty in the short term. However, the long-term outlook for Bitcoin remains optimistic. For instance, investment firm Bernstein predicts that Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by the end of 2025. Visionaries like Cathie Wood, founder of Ark Invest, foresee Bitcoin soaring to $1 million by 2030. Even more ambitious, Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, believes that Bitcoin could reach a staggering $13 million by 2045. For investors seeking short-term gains, Bitcoin may not be the best option at present. Tech stocks, such as Nvidia, which has seen a 159% increase this year, could offer more immediate returns. However, for those considering a longer investment horizon—five years or more—Bitcoin still presents a solid opportunity for growth. Bitcoin’s Role in the Future Financial System One of the most compelling reasons for Bitcoin’s long-term potential lies in its ability to transform the global financial landscape. Bitcoin is more than just a digital currency—it is underpinned by blockchain technology, which promises faster, cheaper, and more efficient financial transactions. The potential to disrupt traditional financial systems and become a cornerstone of the global economy is what makes Bitcoin an attractive investment. Cathie Wood likens Bitcoin's potential to that of the "information superhighway" that revolutionized the internet. She envisions a "financial superhighway" where blockchain replaces the internet and economic value replaces digital information. Wood predicts that Bitcoin could reach $1.5 million within a few years, a reflection of its transformative power. However, it's important to remain cautious about such lofty predictions. While Bitcoin’s revolutionary potential has been touted for over a decade, much of its promise as a viable payment method remains unfulfilled. For example, when was the last time you used Bitcoin for an everyday online purchase? Adoption, though growing, is still not at a level that justifies these sky-high predictions. A New Wave of Political Support for Bitcoin One significant shift in 2024 is the rise of political support for Bitcoin in the United States. There's growing awareness that the US is lagging behind other countries in terms of crypto adoption. High-profile politicians, including former President Donald Trump, have started advocating for America to become the “crypto capital of the world” and a “Bitcoin superpower.” The idea of a “Bitcoin arms race” with other nations is gaining traction. In July, Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyoming) proposed the idea of establishing a national strategic reserve for Bitcoin. She suggested that the US should commit to acquiring 5% of all Bitcoin in circulation, similar to how the country maintains a strategic oil reserve. While this may seem bold or even risky, it reflects the growing belief in Bitcoin’s long-term value. These political developments add momentum to the optimistic price predictions, but it's important to remember that Bitcoin won’t skyrocket to $1 million overnight, even with the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs or strategic reserves. Bitcoin’s Price Journey and Future Prospects Since 2013, Bitcoin has risen from $100 to its current $68,600. If you believe in its continued upward trajectory over the next decade and are prepared to endure the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies, it might be worth considering an investment while the price remains below $100,000. However, the question remains: is Bitcoin ready for another major rally? Technical and Market Insights From a technical standpoint, Bitcoin is currently sitting on a significant dynamic resistance trendline, which it has failed to break through five times since March 2024. The more a support or resistance level is tested, the weaker it becomes. This suggests that Bitcoin may be gearing up for a potential breakout. Additionally, the latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report reveals an interesting contrast. Commercial traders, often referred to as "smart money," are increasing their long positions, while large speculators have turned bearish. This divergence could indicate that the institutional market believes a bullish run is imminent, while retail traders remain cautious. Adding to this, the seasonality pattern from last year showed a strong bullish run starting around this time. Could history repeat itself? The confluence of a weakening resistance, smart money bullishness, and favorable seasonality patterns could point to a new upward movement for Bitcoin. Conclusion: Should You Buy Bitcoin Now? Bitcoin's current situation presents a mix of opportunity and risk. While the short-term outlook remains uncertain, the long-term potential for Bitcoin as a transformative force in the global financial system is undeniable. With institutional investors showing increased interest and political support growing, Bitcoin could be on the verge of a significant breakthrough. For those with a long-term investment horizon and the ability to weather volatility, Bitcoin remains a strong contender in the world of high-risk, high-reward assets. However, if you’re looking for short-term gains, you may want to explore other options like tech stocks, which have been delivering exceptional returns this year. What do you think? Will Bitcoin finally break through its resistance and embark on a new bullish run? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Bitcoin Market Outlook (W45/2024) // AlgoFyreBitcoin's weekly outlook indicates a potential bearish shift, marked by a failed auction and a possible head and shoulders pattern. A retest of the sell-side liquidity (SSL) zone may confirm further downside. Lower highs reinforce selling pressure, suggesting weakened bullish momentum. 🟢 Short-Term Outlook (Next Few Days to Weeks) - Bullish Scenario 🔸 Key Support Zone : The price action shows a strong support level in the region around 74,415, marked as ATH 2024. This area is likely to act as a significant support if the price pulls back, providing a potential "retest and go" scenario. 🔸 Potential Liquidity Grab : The SSL zone (Stop-Loss Zone) marked on the chart indicates a possible liquidity sweep. If the price dips into this zone and then rebounds, it could trigger buying pressure, leading to a bullish reversal. 🔸 Bullish Wave Formation : The current structure shows the possibility of an Elliott Wave pattern, where a corrective ABC structure might complete near the SSL zone. Following this, a new bullish wave is likely to emerge, suggesting upward momentum. 🔸 Higher Highs Expected : The outlined potential pathways for the price indicate a series of higher highs if the bullish scenario unfolds, aligning with continued bullish momentum towards and beyond the 76,000 level. 🔸 Bullish Summary (TLDR): Key support around 74,415 could serve as a launchpad. SSL liquidity grab might trigger a bullish reversal. Potential Elliott Wave structure suggests upward momentum. Higher highs anticipated in the bullish scenario. 🔴 Short-Term Outlook (Next Few Weeks to Months) - Bearish Scenario 🔸 Possible Failed Auction : The current price structure shows signs of a potential failed auction near the top, suggesting that bullish momentum might be losing steam. This pattern often precedes a reversal as sellers start to dominate. 🔸 Head and Shoulders Pattern : The chart displays a possible head and shoulders pattern, a classic bearish reversal signal. This could indicate a significant shift in market sentiment, with the potential for downward movement if this pattern completes. 🔸 Sell Side Liquidity (SSL) Zone Retest and Breakdown Risk : The SSL (Sell Side Liquidity) zone is a key area of liquidity that could be revisited. If price breaks down after testing this zone, it could confirm a bearish scenario, with further downside expected as sellers take control. 🔸 Lower Highs Formation : The recent highs are progressively lower, a typical bearish sign indicating that buying interest is weakening. This pattern suggests that the market may struggle to push higher, increasing the likelihood of a decline. 🔸 Bearish Summary (TLDR): Possible failed auction suggests weakening bullish momentum. Head and shoulders pattern points to a potential reversal. SSL zone retest may lead to further downside. Lower highs indicate waning buying interest. 🔶 Key Takeaway Bitcoin's price action suggests a potential bearish reversal as sell-side liquidity (SSL) and a possible failed auction indicate weakening bullish momentum. A head and shoulders pattern and lower highs further support the likelihood of downward movement in the coming weeks.

Impact of U.S. Elections on BTC Futures and Key Market ScenariosMacro: US Elections : On Tuesday 5th November, 2024, Americans go to the polls to decide on the next President of the United States for a 4-year term. The winner will take office in January 2025. This will be an important outcome for the U.S. economy, broader markets, the crypto futures market, and world economy, as the U.S. Dollar holds the reserve currency status. Donald Trump currently leads by a thin margin in most swing states whereas his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris has been narrowing the gap in recent weeks. Source: Newsquawk Depending on the results, there are few scenarios that may play out and impact financial markets. Republican Sweep: Markets will price tighter monetary policy and loose fiscal policy boosting USD. Gold will pare losses along with commodities and goods subject to tariffs. Trump has also come out with crypto-friendly messages, boosting BTC futures and other virtual currencies/assets. Treasuries will be seen falling with a steeper yield curve as noted by some banks. Democratic Sweep: Markets will price more room for monetary policy and FED to cut rates as inflationary forces ease and fiscal policy is tightened under Democrats. This further boosts Gold prices. In my opinion, commodities and equities will show somewhat muted reactions while growth prospects also stay muted. However, equities will be seen higher. Views among different banks vary on growth and the U.S. stock market with a democratic sweep. Bitcoin futures and other virtual currencies may further consolidate or pare some losses as further clarity is required from U.S. lawmakers. Bonds will rise with yields falling as FED will have more room to cut rates with tighter fiscal policy. For the above 2 scenarios, recessionary risks are reduced in my opinion as a Red sweep provides fiscal boost while a Blue sweep provides room to cut rates with tighter fiscal policy. In addition, as witnessed during Covid-19 shock, there was a quick economic recovery in countries that had room to provide handouts to the public to spur spending. This new mechanism of fiscal and monetary policy combination points towards reduced recessionary risks and even when recession hits, a quick recovery prospect. But how many times can this be done until it loses its effects? A divided congress in either case will see mostly muted reaction in my opinion. Newswires and investment banks have research regarding these scenarios as they require considering many different policies, geopolitical issues, impact on the U.S. economy. I believe recessionary risks will increase for the next four years with a divided house/senate and no clear majority. FED Interest Decision : Federal Reserves meets for another FOMC meeting to decide on interest rates path. The CME Fedwatch tool shows market participants pricing 25 bps of rate cut. However, the inflation outlook is very much dependent on the fiscal policy stance taken by the next U.S. government which will feed into FED’s inflation models and forecasts. For the first half of 2025, FED meetings on interest rate decisions and inflationary economic releases will be key to watch. Having briefly discussed this, BTC futures can take few possible paths. CME BTC futures are equivalent to 5 BTC when checking out contract specs. Risk exposure can be reduced by trading CME MBT Micro Bitcoin futures, 1/10th the size of one bitcoin, and CME BFF, Bitcoin Friday futures , sized at 1/50 of a bitcoin, Bitcoin Friday futures is a short-dated contract that provides an accessible, capital-efficient way to manage your bitcoin trading strategies. Big Picture for BTC Futures: *past performance is not indicative of future results Key Levels to Watch: Yearly Hi: 78,960 Yearly VAH: 74,485 Bull support zone: 68,000 to 65,500 Yearly Mid: 61,495 Scenario 1 : Price has broken out of the bull flag pattern, held above yearly VPOC. Here we may see continuation higher with new All time highs. Red Sweep scenario. FED stays conservative due to change in their inflation models keeping tighter monetary policy which points to further consolidation before another move higher by end of first quarter of 2025. Scenario 2 : Further choppy price action building acceptance above 60,000 for push in either direction. In this scenario further clarity on the new U.S. government stance on crypto is needed before committing further.

Bitcoin Futures IdeaIf we look objective, without in mind bitcoin is now testing the all time high region, we need to keep in mind there is still a gap below us. Bitcoin history tells up these close sooner rather than later. Also there is a big wick at the low 49's. This is speculation it could be that we go down there to grab this liquidity before going higher. But for this to happen we need a black swan event. Keep in mind that the war in the middle east is ongoing and that the yields are rising as we speak. I still believe the FED cut rates too soon and too much. I am a bull in the long run for Bitcoin, but the economic situation isn't healthy at all so in the short term, with all the above kept in mind, I am sceptic about price development to the upside. So I'm slightly bearish. Also I see a big cup and handle pattern forming. If you look on the weekly you can see it very clear. We're at the top of the cup and we're at the start to form the handle of this pattern, so this also would make sense if we go lower from here. Let's see!

BTCUSD to 98k maybe beyondI have been bullish BTC for a very long time. To be honest the money has been dead for quite a while and I could have made a lot more profits trading and investing elsewhere. The idea was always to hold until we reached $100k and with a decent close in October we may get a chance to see that big round number in 2024. Plan B says we should hold for ~18-months after the halving and Michael Saylor would say we should double up because the train ain't stopping anytime soon. Raul Paoul says we're in a Banana Zone but as I can't pay taxes in BTC as of today or any time soon, I am going to take my cash and go in the coming months if we hit my target.
