#BTC is on the cusp of a potential Death Cross

Whenever a Death Cross occurs, BTC experiences deeper downside

How likely is it that this Death Cross occurs for $BTC?

And if it does - what should we potentially expect?

Here's a thread with my thoughts about the Death Cross:
1.

A bullish Golden Cross occurs when the 50 EMA (blue) crosses OVER the 200 EMA (black)

Golden Crosses precede lots of upside in #BTC's price (green)

A bearish Death Cross occurs when the 50 EMA crosses UNDER the 200 EMA (red)

Death Crosses precede lots of downside for $BTC
2.

But notice how it takes a significant amount of time for #BTC to actually perform a bearish Death Cross (red)

When $BTC peaked in 2013, it took 135 days for the Death Cross to occur

That's over 4 months

And during those 4+ months...

#Bitcoin dropped -73%
3.

The Death Cross occurs with some lag

So by the time it happens - a lot of downside will have already happened

That said, the Death Cross confirms a bearish trend and precedes even more downside

And in 2013, the Death Cross preceded an additional -71% drop...
4.

In sum, when #BTC peaked in 2013...

BTC dropped -73% in 135 days until the Death Cross happened

And when the Death Crossover actually occurred - $BTC dropped an additional -71% in the months that followed
5.

Let's take another period into account:

When $BTC peaked in 2017, it took 107 days for the Death Cross to occur

That's 3.5 months

And during those 3+ months...

#Bitcoin dropped -70% from the $20,000 peak
6.

Yes, #BTC dropped -70% before the Death Cross actually occurred

But once the Death Cross happened, $BTC experienced an additional -65% correction to the downside

The Death Cross once again confirmed even more downside
7.

In sum, when #BTC peaked in 2017...

BTC dropped -70% in 107 days until the Death Cross happened

And when the Death Crossover actually occurred - $BTC dropped an additional -65% in the months that followed
8.

Let's now take a look at another historical Death Cross period:

When $BTC peaked in June 2019, it took 149 days for the Death Cross to occur

It took BTC 5 months to perform a Death Cross

But until that Death Cross occurred, #BTC's price had already dropped by -53%
9.

But once the Death Cross took place, #BTC dropped an additional -55% to the downside

In sum when $BTC peaked in June 2019, BTC first dropped -53% before the Death Cross took place

And once that Death Cross occurred, an additional -55% retrace happened for #Bitcoin
10.

#BTC is potentially on the cusp of a new Death Cross soon

Let's assume it happens (though it doesn't necessarily have to)

We need to now address two questions:

• When could this Death Cross happen?

• How much extra downside could $BTC see after it happens?
11.

First let's address the question of "when"

Historically, #BTC tends to perform a Death Cross between 107 to 149 days

If history repeats, $BTC could see its Death Cross occur sometime between very late July or in early September 2021 (red area)
12.

Right now, the 50 EMA (blue) and 200 EMA (black) are converging rapidly towards one another

If #BTC doesn't increase in its price soon and the EMAs continue at the same current pace...

The Death Cross could happen sooner in mid-June 2021 (blue)
13.

Now let's address the question of "how deep could #BTC retrace upon Death Cross"

So far, $BTC has crashed -54% since its ~$65K highs

And before we answer the question of how much downside could happen upon the Death Cross, let's recall the symmetry in past Death Crosses:
14.

The depth of a BTC correction pre-Death Cross is similar to retrace depth post-Death Cross

2013:
#BTC drops -73% pre-Death Cross
• BTC drops extra -70% post-Death Cross

2017:
• -70% pre-Death Cross
• Extra -65% post-Death Cross

2019:
• -53% pre-DC
• -55% post-DC
15.

So since #BTC has crashed -54% already and should this symmetry hold, BTC could crash an extra -54% if a Death Cross happened today

This would result in a ~$18,000 $BTC
16.

This sort of symmetry would be in line with history as #BTC crashed an extra -55% post-Death Cross after the June 2019 peak

But if history were to repeat itself with a -65% or -71% crash...

That would result in a $14000 and $11500 $BTC which both seem very unlikely
17.

What's interesting about the scenario of a -55% post-Death Cross crash however is that it would result in a $18000 BTC

Which ties in with the 200-Week EMA (black) which tends to offer fantastic opportunities with outsized ROI for #BTC investors (green boxes highlight this)
18.

If the Death Cross happens today, then a -55% crash towards the 200-Week EMA would tie in with my analysis in a previous thread:



But this possibility would ONLY be possible if the 50-Week EMA is lost as support and a Death Cross occurs soon
19.

The #BTC Bottoming Out Candle 3 year is coming to an end, according to Four Year Cycle principles

But a new Confirmed Trend Reversal Candle 4 is set to form next

So what should we pay attention to in 2024?

A thread...

$BTC #Crypto #Bitcoin Image
1.

Historically, #BTC's price action has formed Four Year Cycles

Each candle represents a year

Candle 1 sees $BTC reach its Bull Market Peak

Candle 2 is where #Bitcoin is in a Bear Market

Candle 3 is where BTC bottoms out

Candle 4 is where BTC recovers & confirms a new trend reversalImage
2.

Before discussing what may be in store for #BTC in the new Candle 4 in 2024...

Let's first talk about how last year's thread predicted the Bear Market Bottom area as well as this year's +180% rally to ~$45000

It is these same time-tested principles that we'll use in determining future price action for $BTC

$LINK has rejected from its Range High resistance

Price is down -13% since then

But if #LINK were to drop into the Range Low support...

Price would need to drop an additional -20% to the downside

#Crypto #Chainlink Image
$LINK rejected at its Range High resistance and crashed -31% right into the Range Low support

#LINK holding support at the Range Low thus far

Continued price stability could set price up for a revisit of the Range High with time

#Crypto #Chainlink Image
$LINK has already rebounded +18% from the Range Low support

Over time, #LINK should be able to revisit the Range High resistance above

The #BTC Bear Market is coming to an end, according to Four Year Cycle principles

But a new Bottoming Out Candle 3 is set to form next

So what should we pay attention to in 2023?

A thread...

Historically, #BTC's price action has formed Four Year Cycles

Each candle represents a year

Candle 1 sees $BTC reach its Bull Market Peak

Candle 2 is where #Bitcoin is in a Bear Market

Candle 3 is where BTC bottoms out

Candle 4 is where BTC recovers & begins a new trend Image

By standards of history, the bottom of Candle 2 begins the Four Year Cycle Accumulation Range (green)

Candle 2 bottom is very close to $13935 (black)

~$14k acted as a resistance for three years (previous Candles 1,2,3)

Could be tested as support in 2023

For the 1st time ever...

#BTC RSI brokedown from an area that has historically preceded outsized Returns On Investment for long-term investors

Past reversals from around this area include Jan 2015, Dec 2018 & March 2020

All Bear Market bottoms

A thread

$BTC #Crypto #Bitcoin Image
1.

Overall, the #BTC Monthly RSI is forming a red Wedge

$BTC Bull Market Tops occur at the RSI Wedge Top

And Bear Market Bottoms occur at the RSI Wedge Bottom

BTC has lost this market structure, breaking down from the Bear Market Bottom area (green)

#Crypto #Bitcoin Image
2.

Bullish Divergence tend to form at #BTC Bear Market Bottom RSI levels (green trendline)

Currently, $BTC is searching for its first bottom which would build the macro Bullish Divergence

Here are arguably two of the biggest obstacles to global adoption:

1. Privacy 🥷

2. Security🔒

But there are projects that are pushing us in the right direction

One of which is @GetBlockWallet, a self-custodial wallet designed to keep you safe on the blockchain

A thread...

I've been testing BlockWallet for the past weeks & have enjoyed how simple & intuitive it is

They've recently launched a major update that includes custom network support & swaps with 0% fees

You might've even seen my comparison video to MetaMask:

Here are some of my favourite BlockWallet features:

⭐️ Privacy Proxies

BlockWallet acts like a VPN for Web3

They keep your online activity private, protecting you from being tracked & identified by malicious actors
