1b. To simplify things further, I have made an oscillator for this Buy & Sell Signals indicator.
Note that when this oscillator > 2, #BTC is near an interim top or cycle top.
Oscillator >= 1 ➡️ Buy
Oscillator < 1➡️ Sell
Oscillator >2 ➡️ Near interim or cycle top
2a. Bear Market Bottom
This indicator is developed using #BTC's moving average price. It catches all the bear phase bottoms of past cycles.
The bottom occurs when #BTC's price crosses the red trend line & rebounds.
This indicator also catches the COVID bottom in March 2020.
2b. Note that in the last cycle's bear market, #BTC's price temporary pierced through the red trend line & rebounded. It did that again to reach its final bear phase bottom. If we count the first cross & rebound as the detected bear market bottom, this indicator is off by 5%.
3a. Interim top before final lift off + Timing of blow-off top
This indicator is developed using #BTC's 2-year moving average price. It detects the interim top before the final lift off (blow-off phase) & when the blow-off top phase begins.
How to use?
3b. When #BTC's price touches the turquoise trend line, that price is the interim top before the final lift off.
When BTC's price finally crosses above the turquoise trend line, the blow-off top phase begins.
This indicator detected the above in the past 2 cycles.
This indicator is developed using BTC's 2-year moving average price.
If one's a HODLer, every day is a good day to DCA into BTC. This indicator points to the periods when BTC is undervalued, upon which one can accumulate relatively more sats.
4b. Whenever #BTC is below the green trend line, it's a good time to accumulate more BTC, but start doing so after BTC has hit its bear phase bottom.
The chart marks the accumulation periods in yellow boxes in the past 2 cycles.
5a. I have rebuilt Willy Woo's Top Cap Model, which is based on the Average Cap of #BTC x 35. I've made a slight adjustment to this rebuild based on past cycle peak data.
#BTC will reach its cycle peak when its price touches the purple trend line.
𝟭. 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀
a. The mean hash rate for #BTC miners has bottomed & is trending higher. It's forming an ascending channel, which is a bullish pattern.
The hash rate held the upward trend & pierced through the middle of the parallel channel last week. Bullish.
1b (i) The Hash Ribbon is a market indicator that assumes that #BTC's price tends to reach a bottom when miners capitulate & that's when BTC's price momentum switches from negative to positive- a good buying opportunity.
#BTC had a 19% correction from its intraday high of $53K to $43K! What happened?
1. Buy the rumor (El Salvador's law on adopting Bitcoin as legal tender came into effect today), sell the news 2. Miners selling 3. Leverage & fervent speculation, especially Alts
Game over? Not!🧵
1/ Buy the rumor & sell the news. True.
2/ Miners have been selling their #BTC reserves since the end of August. They've sold 1507 BTC on a week-to-week basis, but nothing to cause the correction we've seen today. Miners are probably taking some profits on the strength of BTC.
3a/ The real catalyst for the correction is the leverage built up in the futures market, especially in Altcoins. Don't believe me?
Take a look at #ETH futures OI. It rose to a new ATH of $11.62B today!
Per Jordan's @jclcapital livestream today, this is my read on Will Clemente's Illiquid Supply RSI chart:
1a. The blue & red lines are the respective 365-day fast stochastic indicator (%K) & slow stochastic indicator (%D) over the 30-day net change of #BTC illiquid supply.
1b. Focus on the blue line.
2. The bullish #BTC impulse moves had come when after the blue line crosses from below the purple zone (20) to above the purple zone (80).
3. The vertical green lines mark the start of the bullish price action.
4. The upward price momentum is measured by the slope of the line linking the peak & trough of the crosses. The steeper the slope, the higher the upward price momentum & vice versa.
𝟭. 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀
a. The mean hash rate for #BTC miners has bottomed & is trending higher. It's forming an ascending channel, which is a bullish pattern.
It's bounced back from the bottom to the middle section of the channel as BTC's price hovers ~$50K. Bullish.
1b (i) The Hash Ribbon is a market indicator that assumes that #BTC's price tends to reach a bottom when miners capitulate & that's when BTC's price momentum switches from negative to positive- a good buying opportunity.
Using TA, trend angles & parabolas, I also built one on a log BLX chart.
Projected Cycle Top
- Price: $340K
- Date: 12/20/21 (=Top Cap Model's)
1/ How is the #BTC model built?
a. Use log scale on price.
b. Draw parallel trend lines to connect the highs and lows of candles & use Tradingview's auto feature to clone the parallel trend lines.
c. Draw parabolas to fit all the lows of each cycle.
2/
d. The parabolas should intersect at the market top of a cycle. On the BLX chart, 12/4/2013 & 12/16/2017 are used as the dates for the market tops instead.
e. A trend line is drawn to connect the market tops of #BTC in 2013 & 2017 (blue).
Deducing #BTC's Peak Price from its Golden Crosses*
TLDR: There'd be a relationship between when the first golden cross occurs after a BTC bear phase & its peak price. The secret lies in "4".
If so, BTC's peak price may be $143K in this cycle (see Notes).
*50d EMA 🔀 200d EMA
1/ Right before the 1st halving, a golden cross occurred & #BTC rallied 235x from the golden cross daily closing price to the 2nd cycle top.
Similarly, after the bear phase of the 2nd cycle, a golden cross occurred & BTC's price rallied 60x to the 3rd cycle top.
NB: 235/60= ~4
2a/ Right after the bear phase of the 3rd cycle, a golden cross also occurred & #BTC's price rallied 12.5X from the golden cross daily closing price to its ATH of $64.9K.
A mid-cycle correction ensued where BTC corrected by 55% & BTC's price dipped below its 200 day EMA.
