#BTC/USDT Urgent Update. If you like money, Read This!Welcome to this quick update, everyone! Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at around $98,400 at the time of writing. BTC is making a **bearish retest of the 21EMA** on the daily chart, which is a crucial indicator for identifying short-term trends. This is particularly significant for traders involved in futures and options within the crypto market. - Break above the 21EMA is bullish. - BTC is also retesting the previously broken pennant pattern to the downside. If you're feeling FOMO (fear of missing out), it's better to wait until BTC reclaims the Blue EMA and trades back inside the channel/pennant. If these two levels are recovered, we could anticipate a new all-time high (ATH). However, until that happens, exercise caution. Trading volume is exceptionally low across exchanges, and it's worth noting that during holiday seasons, market makers often exploit these conditions to manipulate prices, leaving retail traders at a disadvantage. While you're free to make your own decisions, my advice is to trade with confirmations. This approach provides an edge and makes holding positions more comfortable while effectively managing risk.

Tide Turning For Bitcoin? Reserves And Netflows Show ReversalBitcoin, the world's first and most well-known cryptocurrency, has experienced a rollercoaster ride since its inception. From its meteoric rise to its dramatic crashes, Bitcoin has remained a topic of fascination and debate for investors and financial analysts alike. In recent times, several factors have contributed to a sense of uncertainty surrounding Bitcoin's future, including regulatory scrutiny, market volatility, and concerns about its environmental impact. However, recent developments, such as increasing institutional adoption and positive netflows, suggest that the tide may be turning for Bitcoin. Bitcoin Institutional Adoption Accelerates as ETFs Show Investor Appetite One of the most significant indicators of Bitcoin's growing acceptance is the increasing interest from institutional investors. Traditionally, institutional investors have been hesitant to invest in Bitcoin due to its volatile nature and lack of regulatory clarity. However, as the cryptocurrency market matures and regulatory frameworks become clearer, more and more institutions are beginning to see the potential of Bitcoin as an investment asset. This growing institutional interest is reflected in the recent surge in for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). ETFs are investment funds that track an underlying asset, such as a stock index or a commodity. They offer investors a convenient way to gain exposure to an asset without having to directly own it. Recent Reserves and Netflows Indicate Market Reversal In addition to increasing institutional adoption, recent data on Bitcoin reserves and netflows also suggest that the market may be reversing. Bitcoin reserves refer to the amount of Bitcoin held on cryptocurrency exchanges. A decrease in Bitcoin reserves indicates that investors are withdrawing their Bitcoin from exchanges, which is often a sign of accumulation and a bullish signal. Netflows, on the other hand, refer to the difference between the amount of Bitcoin entering and leaving exchanges. Positive netflows indicate that more Bitcoin is entering exchanges than leaving, which can be a sign of selling pressure and a bearish signal. Recent data shows that Bitcoin reserves have been declining, while netflows have turned positive. This combination of factors suggests that investors are accumulating Bitcoin and that selling pressure is decreasing. These are both positive signs for the Bitcoin market and could indicate that a reversal is underway. Bitcoin Price Analysis: Navigating Volatility and Key Levels Despite these positive developments, Bitcoin's price remains volatile and subject to market fluctuations It has been noted a potential 'head and shoulders' pattern, a bearish technical indicator, which could lead to a significant price drop. This pattern suggests that Bitcoin's price could fall to as low as $80,000. However, there maintain a more bullish outlook, emphasizing the importance of the $90,000 level. It is argued that if Bitcoin can maintain this level, it could pave the way for further price appreciation. Conversely, if Bitcoin fails to hold this level, it could trigger a sell-off and push the price down to $80,000. Conclusion: A Cautious but Optimistic Outlook for Bitcoin In conclusion, several recent developments suggest that the tide may be turning for Bitcoin. Increasing institutional adoption, as evidenced by the surge in Bitcoin ETF filings, indicates a growing acceptance of Bitcoin as an investment asset. Positive netflows and declining reserves further support this notion, suggesting that investors are accumulating Bitcoin and that selling pressure is decreasing. However, it is important to remain cautious. Bitcoin's price remains volatile, and various factors could impact its future performance.13 The cryptocurrency market is still relatively young and subject to regulatory changes, technological advancements, and shifts in investor sentiment. Therefore, while the recent developments are encouraging, it is crucial to approach Bitcoin with a balanced perspective. Investors should conduct thorough research, understand the risks involved, and make informed decisions based on their individual circumstances and risk tolerance. Overall, the outlook for Bitcoin appears cautiously optimistic. The increasing institutional adoption, positive netflows, and declining reserves suggest that the market may be reversing. However, it is important to remain vigilant and adapt to the ever-changing dynamics of the cryptocurrency market.

DAY 7 - Daily BTC UpdateThe Holidays have slowed the markets - for now. I've introduced a third potential scenario for Bitcoin (BTC), which is bearish and might see the price retesting the DAILY 100 Moving Average near $80K. Although this scenario seems less probable given the current market sentiment, where large corporations and businesses are actively accumulating, it's crucial to consider all possible outcomes to avoid the pitfalls of an "up-only" mindset prevalent in bullish markets. Remember, corrections are healthy and contribute to the robustness of the overall market pattern. After yesterday's positive momentum shift, we've again seen a lull in the market and increased sell pressure as the US gears up for tax season. The recent price movements in Bitcoin indicate an adjustment to overbought conditions following the election, with technical indicators suggesting a continuation of the bearish trend in the short term unless there's a significant influx of buying support. Keep an eye on these developments, as they could dictate the next moves in Bitcoin's price trajectory. Trading Tip: As we have no confirmed direction currently - One effective strategy during volatile periods like this can be the "Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)" approach. Instead of trying to time the market, you regularly invest a fixed dollar amount, regardless of the asset's price. This method reduces the impact of volatility by spreading out the purchase price over time. For Bitcoin's current scenario: Set a regular schedule: Decide to buy a fixed amount of Bitcoin weekly or monthly. Stay disciplined: Avoid investing more when prices seem low or less when they're high. Consistency is key. Long-term perspective: DCA works best if you hold for the long term. It allows you to benefit from the average price over time rather than trying to predict short-term movements. This approach can mitigate the risk of entering the market at peak prices and can lead to purchasing more units when prices are low, potentially lowering your average cost per Bitcoin over time. Remember, while DCA can smooth out the volatility, it does not guarantee profits and should be part of a broader investment strategy considering your risk tolerance and financial situation! Thanks for following the 7 Days of BTC updates, and if you want these Daily - links are in my Bio :)

BITCOIN BULLRUN AFTER 4TH HALVINGThe following chart is a weekly Bitcoin chart. It can be seen that after the halving occurs there will be a very sharp increase in prices. This cycle repeats itself with a global scope, from each halving. If we look deeper into each halving, let's look at before the halving and also after the halving. The increase occurred on average 500 days before the halving and also 500 days after the halving. After 500 days after the halving, there is usually a large correction and a prolonged bearish trend occurs until 500 days before the halving, which finally occurs gradually. At the time this analysis was written, Bitcoin was at 95K after peaking at 106K. like the previous bull run after the halving, bitcoin will reach its peak and experience a deep correction and reach the next highest peak for the second time. This may have the same pattern in the 2024 bullrun this time. After the peak, Bitcoin will experience a correction, perhaps in the range of 75K to 65K (I took this benchmark from the Ichimocu Cloud support) and will rise again to reach its second all time high in mid to late 2025 in the range of 150K to 170K to coincide with 500 days after the halving. Until then Bitcoin will experience a bearish trend until it reaches 500 days before the 5th halving. This pattern will probably continue to repeat itself considering the increasing adoption from both retail and corporations to countries and also the limited supply of Bitcoin which is one of the factors in increasing demand.

Bitcoin's 486 days marathon after halving to reach the 150,000 !The Basics of Bitcoin's Analysis As we approach the anticipated fourth Bitcoin halving on April 15th, 2024, the mining of Bitcoin’s 19,656,962nd coin is a testament to the network’s enduring strength, bringing the circulating supply to 90% of the total. The ‘rainbow chart’ remains a popular model for visualizing Bitcoin’s logarithmic growth and its cyclical price patterns. The halving events, pivotal in Bitcoin’s economic model, systematically reduce the block reward, thereby constraining the new supply of Bitcoin. The current reward stands at 6.25 BTC per block, which will decrease to 3.125 BTC post the fourth halving. This deflationary mechanism has historically triggered bullish market sentiments as the reduced flow of new coins amplifies scarcity. Analyzing the cycles between halvings, a clear pattern emerges: the initial 70,000 blocks post-halving often usher in a bullish phase, succeeded by a bearish phase up to the 140,000th block, and culminating in a sideways market until the next halving at the 210,000th block. Bitcoin’s market dominance is also subject to cyclical fluctuations. Since 2016, its dominance has dipped below 40% during bearish phases and soared to around 70% during bullish periods, significantly influencing the broader cryptocurrency market. The average drawdown observed between halvings is approximately 80%. Currently, in the sideways phase of the third cycle, projections based on the intersection of the 210,000th block and the lower logarithmic regression boundary suggest a valuation of $30,000 per Bitcoin. The forthcoming era could witness a peak of $150,000, with an 80% drawdown positioning the potential low at $55,000 during the bearish phase, commencing 486 days after the halving. Where are we Today? Recent market analyses align with these projections, indicating a minor retracement a month after the 2024 halving, followed by a significant rally to new heights. Analysts advise caution as the market nears the halving event, with some predicting a pre-halving sell-off. Despite short-term volatility, the long-term outlook for Bitcoin remains bullish, with predictions of a new all-time high price in each 4-year period between Halving dates. The only indicator to consider: The MVRV Ratio and Z-score The MVRV ratio was created by Murad Mahmudov & David Puell hot on the heals of the invention of the Realized Cap concept by the Coinmetrics team of Nic Carter and Antoine Le Calvez. Realized Cap is an alternative approach to Market Cap as a measure of network valuation. Rather than using the last traded price and multiplying by the coins in circulation as seen in Market Cap, Realized Cap approximates the value paid for all coins in existence by summing the market value of coins at the time they last moved on the blockchain. MVRV is simply the ratio comparing the two, i.e. MVRV = Market Cap / Realized Cap. It’s useful for getting a sense of when the exchange traded price is below “fair value” and is also quite useful for spotting market tops and bottoms (Source: Coinmetrics.com). The MVRV ratio is calculated by dividing the total bitcoin market value (MV) by its realized value (RV). Therefore, the metric represents the extent in which the current bitcoin market valuation is overextended beyond (values >1) or actually at a discount (values <1) compared to the holders’ aggregated cost base. From the MVRV ratio we obtain the MVRV z-score, which first calculates the difference between the total bitcoin market value and its realized value, and then divides that by the standard deviation of the market valuation — a common statistical procedure called “standardization.” The MVRV z-scores, therefore, represent the number of standard deviations that each bitcoin market valuation is increased or decreased against its realized value (Remember z-score >1 means overextended and z-score <1 discount) What do indicators say? We are currently at the dusk of the 3rd halving era which occurred on May 11th 2020, more precisely the END of the sideways phase. The MVRV ratio is at 2.24 giving sights of a Fair Value. Historically, Values over '3.7' indicated price top and values below '1' indicated price bottom.(Source: CryptoQuant) (It is crucial to note that these insights are for educational purposes and should not be considered financial advice. The cryptocurrency market is inherently volatile, and while historical data can provide guidance, it does not guarantee future performance).

BTC/USD Short: FibCloud Rejection and 200MA TargetOn the 8-hour BTC/USD timeframe, I have executed a short position following a clear rejection from the FibCloud, signaling strong resistance at this level. The price action showcases a classic flip of old support into new resistance, further solidifying bearish momentum. My target for this trade is the $90,000 price zone, aligning with the 200MA on the 8-hour chart. Additionally, order flow data confirms significant sell-side activity, with large orders clustered between the $90,000 and $89,000 levels, providing further confluence for this setup. The trade is structured to capitalize on the retracement move, with the potential for price consolidation or reversal upon hitting the $90K psychological and technical support zone. Technicals: • Entry Trigger: Rejection from FibCloud and resistance flip. • Target: $90,000 (aligned with the 200MA and key order flow levels). • Stop Loss: Positioned above the FibCloud to mitigate risk. • Order Flow Insight: Large sell orders between $90,000–$89,000 add weight to the bearish scenario. This setup emphasizes a disciplined approach to risk management, leveraging technical and order flow alignment for optimal execution. Stay sharp, and remember to pay yourself! Note: Please remember to adjust this trade idea according to your individual trading conditions, including position size, broker-specific price variations, and any relevant external factors. Every trader’s situation is unique, so it’s crucial to tailor your approach to your own risk tolerance and market environment.

BTC Faces Significant Selling Pressure from Long-Term HoldersBitcoin ( CRYPTOCAP:BTC ) has faced intensified selling pressure from long-term holders (LTHs), who have offloaded approximately 1 million BTC since mid-September, contributing to its current 13% dip from its all-time high of $108,000. This marks the largest discount since the U.S. presidential election. While short-term holders (STHs) have stepped in to absorb some of this supply, demand imbalance continues to weigh heavily on Bitcoin’s price. 1. Long-Term Holders’ Selling Behavior LTHs, defined as investors holding BTC for over 155 days, have been distributing their holdings as prices show strength. Over the past week, LTHs sold 70,000 BTC in a single day, marking the fourth-largest one-day sell-off this year, according to Glassnode data. Their holdings have dropped from 14.2 million BTC in September to 13.2 million BTC, signaling a strategic move to realize profits during this period of heightened market volatility. 2. Short-Term Holders Absorbing Supply STHs have accumulated 1.3 million BTC during the same period, partially offsetting LTHs' selling. However, this accumulation hasn’t been enough to sustain upward momentum, resulting in continued price weakness. 3. Market Liquidity and Exchange Activity The circulating supply of Bitcoin stands at 19.8 million tokens, with 2.8 million BTC held on exchanges. Notably, 200,000 BTC have exited exchanges in recent months, indicating a trend of investors moving assets to cold storage. This dwindling exchange balance could limit immediate liquidity, further impacting market dynamics. Technical Outlook Bitcoin is trading in a bearish zone, currently down 0.49% with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 42. The recent market sell-off liquidated approximately $1.4 billion, exacerbating downward pressure. Key Levels to Watch Support Level: If selling persists, CRYPTOCAP:BTC could dip to $85,000, a key support level aligning with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement. Resistance Level: For a bullish reversal, CRYPTOCAP:BTC must break through $101,000, a pivotal psychological and technical barrier that aligns with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement. Outlook and Implications The ongoing selling by LTHs reflects a strategic shift, possibly influenced by macroeconomic uncertainties and profit-taking at current levels. Meanwhile, STHs’ buying activity suggests continued confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential. However, the imbalance between supply and demand could lead to further short-term price volatility. Investors should closely monitor key support and resistance levels and market activity from these cohorts to anticipate the next significant price movement. Conclusion Bitcoin’s price trajectory remains uncertain amid significant selling pressure from LTHs. While oversold technical indicators hint at a potential rebound, the lack of sufficient demand from STHs raises concerns about sustained recovery. The next few days will be critical for Bitcoin as it navigates these pivotal price levels. Will CRYPTOCAP:BTC bounce back like it has in past corrections, or is a deeper dip on the horizon? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for further updates!

Is the Top In? Bitcoin's Diminishing ReturnsMany of us have seen the Bitcoin Rainbow chart before. Right now, it implies that there is still room for another leg higher. According to Blockchain Center's 2023 chart , the 'Is this a bubble?' price range is around $111,914 to $143,429. However, we also see the highs diminish over time. The first peak is outside of 'Maximum Bubble Territory,' the second reaching the same area, and the third hitting 'Sell. Seriously, SELL.' While this pattern suggests BTC may only reach 'Is this a bubble?' or 'FOMO intensifies' this cycle, there's another pattern that indicates 'HODL' might be as far as it goes. In the logarithmic chart above, we can see that BTC's price follows a pattern of diminishing returns. It has moved from low to high as follows (rounded): 1. 2010/2011: 0.01 to 31.91 = 3,191x 2. 2011/2013: 1.99 to 1,242 = 624x 3. 2015/2017: 162 to 19,785 = 122x 4. 2018/2021: 3,125 to 68,977 = 22x 5. 2022/2024: 15,479 to 108,367 = 7x That means the multipliers from low to high have decreased with the following factors: 624.12 ÷ 3,191 ≈ 0.1957 (a 5.10x factor decrease) 122.09 ÷ 624.12 ≈ 0.1955 (a 5.11x factor decrease) 22.07 ÷ 122.09 ≈ 0.1809 (a 5.52x factor decrease) 7.00 ÷ 22.07 ≈ 0.3170 (a 3.15x factor decrease) The most recent bullish run appears to be an outlier; if there'd been a 5.52x factor decrease from 22.07, that would've meant a rough 4x (22.07 ÷ 5.52) from the low, or a peak of 61,916. There are multiple ways to interpret this pattern, and why it may or may not be holding this time around: On the bullish side: It's 'different' this cycle A pro-crypto Trump administration/SEC chair shifts fundamentals Growing legitimisation of BTC in institutional and regulatory circles More funds flowing in via BTC ETFs Currency debasement means more demand for BTC The Rainbow chart indicates there's more room to grow The halving pattern is still playing out Search interest is below previous peaks on Google Trends , implying more potential interest On the bearish side: The culmination of bullish fundamental factors has overextended the pattern (much like how RSI can show an asset overbought for a long time before an eventual correction) A risk-on year for assets more broadly has dragged BTC up with it, taking it past the established pattern A larger market cap makes it harder to continue expanding exponentially as the market matures. BTC's market cap is $1.8t right now. There is diminishing marginal demand—those already interested in BTC have bought in, reducing the pool of potential buyers The Fear and Greed index has already reached levels see in previous peaks, like 2021 The feverishness surrounding meme coins is reminiscent of previous bubbles, like the ICO bubble and Dotcom bubble Discussion I think there are strong arguments to be made on both sides. On one hand, it's true that it really might be different this time around. There's certainly more institutional adoption and regulatory clarity than ever before, with Trump even talking about a strategic Bitcoin reserve. There weren't Bitcoin ETFs in previous cycles, and the halving pattern suggests a peak usually around 1-1.5 years later; it's only been 8 months since the halving in April. While the dollar will likely get stronger under Trump (potentially weakening BTC), there is the argument that weakening purchasing power in many countries is driving entities towards 'hard' assets, like gold, silver, and Bitcoin. Then there is the room for more retail investors to participate, given search results for ' Bitcoin ' and ' buy Bitcoin ' are lower than previous highs (though I will note that 2021 was also lower than 2017). Lastly, while the Rainbow chart does show diminishing peaks, it does suggest we could still hit 'Is this a bubble?' or higher. On the other hand, this recent run to $100k+ was mostly fueled by Trump's election win and his backing of crypto-friendly Paul Atkins for SEC chair. BTC jumped from around $69k on the day of the election—a bit above the top projected by the factor decrease pattern—and Trump's win may have temporarily distorted the pattern. It is also possible that the market is reaching maturity. Assuming that BTC will move to $250k in 2025 as some predict, its market cap would be around $4.9t. That would put it above Apple's market cap of $3.775t but still decently below gold's $17.6t . However, there's a reason gold is the most valuable asset in the world by market cap: it has historical, cultural, and social significance. Its durability and lustre meant it was used to decorate temples in ancient times and as a symbol of divinity. Over time, that led to it being valued as currency in ancient empires and eventually backing the dollar. In contrast, Bitcoin is relatively young; while feasible that it could eventually overtake gold and still remarkable that it's achieved such a large market cap in around 15 years, it does beg the question if $250k would be too far, too soon. After all, central banks are hoarding gold right now, not Bitcoin. This ties in with the reducing marginal demand for BTC. Those who already believe in its potential have bought in; while the number of participants is likely to go up over time, there don't seem to be many catalysts for many more to join in the near-term (besides rumours of a strategic BTC reserve). 2017 was the first time BTC really went mainstream. Alongside relatively low interest rates and a weak dollar, FOMO drove the rally; BTC jumped more than 20x that year. 2021 was similar; cheap money, pandemic boredom, a broader awareness of crypto, and FOMO, pushed BTC to new ATHs. Looking ahead to 2025, there appear to be more bearish catalysts than bullish. Most notable is a Fed worried about inflation and whether it's appropriate to pause easing of rate cuts ( Deutsche Bank expects no cuts in 2025 , which while a bit extreme, is indication of the current state of affairs). At the time of writing, that's already pushed BTC down to GETTEX:92K from $108k. There is a US stock market that has risen over 60% since the start of 2023, compared to an average annual return of around 10-11% since 1980. There's also the promise of inflationary tariffs, discretionary spending cuts, rising yields, etc. all of which are the opposite of bullish signals. Combined with the Fear and Greed index hitting 94 in November (just under the 95 peak in early 2021, late 2021 saw peaks of 74) and extraordinary runup in memecoins recently—Fartcoin is worth $1.25 billion right now, up from $40 million at the end of October—the vibes are feeling a bit toppy. Conclusion In my opinion and on the balance of probabilities, the combination of the currently-overextended diminishing returns pattern and the fundamental factors described skews Bitcoin bearish from here. There are certainly many counter-arguments to be made and I respect the fact that markets can stay irrational for a long, long time and I could be completely wrong (along with the fact I have my own biases). But, I do think it's at least difficult for me to be bullish or buy into Bitcoin here. The risk-reward isn't great; maybe a 2x is achievable, and that also possibly explains a lack of further retail interest and the pump in meme coins recently. As an aside, it's interesting that this pattern would theoretically continue to produce diminishing returns until the multiplier eventually reaches near-zero. I don't think that would be how it works in reality, but it does indicate that Bitcoin could reach a ceiling as cycles continue. Does that imply the pattern has to break at some point, or that there is a true 'natural' high for BTC? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks for reading.

Bitcoin Dips to $96K Amid MARA and Hut 8’s Major Accumulation SpBitcoin ( CRYPTOCAP:BTC ), the flagship cryptocurrency, faced a notable price dip to $96,300, reflecting a 6% decline over the past 24 hours. Despite this, significant institutional purchases by MARA Holdings and Hut 8 highlight the growing confidence in Bitcoin's long-term potential. Institutional Accumulation on the Rise MARA recently purchased 15,574 BTC at an average price of $98,529 per Bitcoin, totaling $1.53 billion. This acquisition, financed through zero-coupon convertible notes, has increased their holdings to 44,394 BTC, worth $4.45 billion at current prices. MARA’s year-to-date BTC yield stands at an impressive 60.9%, underscoring their strategic accumulation approach. Another institutional player, Hut 8, announced the purchase of 990 BTC for $100 million. These acquisitions demonstrate that major players view current prices as an attractive entry point, reinforcing Bitcoin's narrative as a store of value. Market Sentiment and Activity Despite the dip, CryptoQuant reports no signs of widespread panic selling. This indicates resilience among market participants, with many holding firm in anticipation of a rebound. Additionally, Bitcoin remains 4.59% up in December and 60% up over the past four months, reflecting its strong performance in the broader macroeconomic environment. Technical Analysis 1. Relative Strength Index (RSI): Bitcoin’s RSI currently sits at 35, signaling oversold conditions. Historically, such levels have often preceded a price rebound. 2. Fibonacci Retracement Levels: Immediate support is observed at the 65% Fibonacci retracement level, a critical zone that could stabilize the price. However, persistent selling pressure might push Bitcoin lower, with potential targets at: - $90,000 (1-month low) - $80,000 (key psychological level) 3. Volume and Liquidations: Over $100 million in liquidations occurred in the last 24 hours, suggesting significant market volatility. Short-Term Outlook While the dip has raised concerns, Bitcoin's fundamentals remain strong, bolstered by robust institutional demand. The oversold technical conditions and significant support levels suggest a potential recovery in the coming days. However, traders should remain cautious, as further dips could occur if broader market conditions deteriorate. Conclusion Bitcoin’s dip to $96K reflects short-term volatility, but the sustained interest from institutional players like MARA and Hut 8 underscores its long-term potential. As market sentiment stabilizes, Bitcoin could see renewed bullish momentum, making this an opportune moment for investors to assess their strategies.

Bitcoin: Hold now, buy laterHello, Bitcoin is a clear uptrend as the price is above the moving averages, as the picture on the left side of the chart shows. Technical indicators like Ultimate Oscillator, ADX, MOM, and MACD are bullish. However, RSI indicators are overbought, which means Bitcoin might go higher, but there'll be a better time to buy when the market corrects the overbought conditions. I hold my Bitcoins, but I won't buy any more until the upcoming correction, which might come soon. Regards, Ely

Bearish USDT.D Bounce Off Support Trendline, Total 2 + Total3 Here's a follow up study to my USDT.D analysis from a few weeks ago, showing the markets typically sell off and put in a near term market top when Tether Dominance bounces off this key trendline (since 2018). This is likely a sign of further downside on Bitcoin and the Total Market Cap with a further 20% correction likely before we bounce again. Hopefully in time for a Santa Claus Rally. Also I look at how price clearly rejected on the Total 2 and Total 3 Market Cap's at the old ATH's from 2021. So it's no surprise markets are selling off here. I've been saying 'Show me the charts, and I'll tell you the news' for years... So while Powell's comments today were Bearish, it was incidental. The market needed a cooldown, and the FOMC comments today were just the catalyst. Let me know what you think below, and go ahead and like the video if you'd like me to do more of these here on the TV channel. For more about us, check out the links in my Bio.

Bitcoin: $73K Breakdown or $130K Breakout ? Your Thoughts !Post your thoughts and analysis in the comments and share your charts! I’ll respond and discuss your predictions. Let’s decode Bitcoin’s next big move together! Bitcoin is at a critical Gann crossroad where time and price meet—a setup that traders cannot ignore. 📉📈 Is BTC ready to blast off to $130K, or will it lose momentum and plunge to 73K? Understanding Market Cycles Through Gann's Principles- W.D. Gann, one of the most legendary traders, discovered that markets move in predictable cycles based on time, price, and natural law. Gann's philosophy states that markets are not chaotic; they follow repetitive patterns influenced by planetary cycles, angles, and geometry. These cycles allow traders to identify turning points in price with incredible accuracy. 1. Time Cycles: Gann emphasized that time is the most critical factor in forecasting market movements. He believed that history repeats itself, as cycles tend to recur after specific intervals. For example, key highs and lows often form at regular intervals (like 30 days, 90 days, or annual cycles). Gann connected these patterns with planetary cycles, such as the Saturn return (29.5 years), which often marks major shifts in financial markets. 2. Price and Geometry: Gann introduced the concept of geometric angles, where price moves in harmony with time. The Gann Fan, for instance, uses angles like 1x1, 2x1, and 4x1 to predict the support and resistance levels based on a balanced relationship between price and time. When a market breaks through a Gann angle, it signals a major trend change or continuation. This principle highlights how BTC could now be at a decisive point between 73K (downside Gann target) and $130K (upside Gann target). 3. Cycle Extremes and Reversals: Markets tend to hit extremes before reversing. Gann believed that natural time cycles, such as the seasonal year or 90-degree quarters, correspond to price extremes. For example, Bitcoin may currently be completing such a time cycle, aligning with a potential breakout or breakdown. Recognizing where we stand in this cycle allows us to anticipate the next big move. 4.The Law of Vibration: Gann’s Law of Vibration explains that every financial asset vibrates at a specific frequency. By identifying these vibrations through time and price charts, traders can forecast future price movements. BTC's current consolidation may be a result of price vibrating at a critical frequency before a decisive upward or downward move. Understanding market cycles through Gann’s time-tested principles is like decoding the market's hidden language. BTC’s current setup aligns perfectly with Gann's theories, signalling a potential major move. Is it a $130K breakout or a 73K crash? 👉 Share your thoughts and analysis. How do you see this market cycle unfolding? Let’s discuss! Bitcoin: 73K Collapse or $130K Explosion? What's Next? Share Your Analysis!
