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.
b (ii) The Hash Ribbon flashed buy signals twice during this bull phase & #BTC's price rallied by 1.5x-2.6x. Hash Ribbon buy signal was still intact last week.
If history repeats, this will put BTC between $61K-$106K!
1c. #BTC miner balance decreased by 1507 BTC last week. Miners were probably taking some profits ahead of the El Salvador Bitcoin Day on 9/7/21.
Weekly change: -1507 BTC
Monthly change: -658 BTC
Bearish!

a. The Net #BTC Transfer Volume to/from Exchanges (NTVE) is inversely correlated with BTC price.
NTVE was net negative last week & that supported the BTC price surge to $52K.
BTC could still peak at $360K based on my pinned tweet under 2(ii)(c).
2b. The Balance of #BTC on Exchanges decreased by 31547 BTC last week. This was supportive of BTC's price to go up to $52K last week.
2c. Last week, Whales bought 31065 #BTC, while everyone else took profits as BTC's price went up to $52K.
Last month, non-Whales bought 26027 BTC, but they dumped almost their entire holding (24459) in the 1st week of September! Non-Whales front running the Whales?!
2d The #BTC supply held by long-term HODLers falls as BTC's price ascends to its interim or cycle peak. It then gradually goes up after the cycle peak.
The current trend of "old coins" mimics the 2013 cycle so BTC's price should have another powerful leg up!
๐ฏ. ๐๐ป๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ
In the last 7 days, 21712 BTC or $1.06B worth of #BTC were withdrawn from Coinbase to cold storage. This is a 55% drop from last week's amount!
Institutions were cautious to scoop up BTC as BTC's price increased to $52K.
๐ฐ. ๐ก๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ #BTC RVT Ratio is the realized market cap of BTC to transaction volume ratio.
RVT Ratio is now in Moderate Activity & trending toward High Activity. If this trend continues, BTC should rally like it did a few months ago.

a. aSOPR is forming a bullish ascending broadening wedge pattern. If aSOPR > 1, profitable coins realize profits & #BTC's price corrects. It then resets back to ~1 signaling the dip is bought. aSOPR trades higher repeating the rally higher.
Bullish!
5b. MRGO-14 uses the difference in changes in #BTC's market & realized price to find buy/sell signals for BTC.
Green โก๏ธ Buy
Red โก๏ธ Sell
MRGO-14 has been green since 7/25/21. Its duration already exceeds that of the 12/16/20-1/18/21 rally, which lasted 34 days.
5c. Buy & Sell Oscillator
Simple
Oscillator crosses above 1โก๏ธBuy
Oscillator crosses below 1 โก๏ธSell
Oscillator >2โก๏ธInterim or cycle top
5d. We can also use #BTC realized volume to see where the major support & resistance levels of the current trading range are.
Blue numbers are support levels & red numbers are resistance levels.
5f. Based on the trading metrics, the trend is still positive, but need to watch if MRGO-14 will turn red & Buy & Sell Oscillator will flip < 1 in Week 36.
* Starting next week, the Trading Section will be separated out from the Price Action Indicators for more timely updates.

When will #BTC's correction be over? How low could its price get?
1. Bull market isn't over as fundamentals are strong 2. BTC is in another mid-cycle correction 3. If $40K-$41K support is breached, BTC could fall to $29K-$37K by end of Jan. 2022, but would quickly rebound >$40K
1. #BTC's fundamentals as reflected by key on-chain data are strong. Hash rate has reached a new ATH. LT HODLers continue to hold onto their BTC despite BTC's recent correction. Supply dynamics favor a continuation of the bull run rather than BTC diving into a bear phase.
2. BTC's price continues to track its move from Jan. 21- Jul. 21. (areas marked in pink boxes), but could be 5 days shorter in duration.
The current correction is similar to that of last summer & thus could be over at the end of Jan. 2022.
1b/ The #BTC LGC (Logarithmic Growth Curves) model is introduced to gauge cycle peak timing & cycle peak price taking into account the growth pattern of BTC.
#BTC is finally rebounding, but how high could its price get?
TLDR:
If impulse move plays out:
High: $74K
Middle: $62-$64K
Low: $46K-$51K
Timing: Mid-Jan. to End of Mar. 2022
If move fails, BTC could test $32K-$37K
Timing: Mid-Jan to Mid-Feb. 2022
1a/ Parallel channel breakout
If #BTC breaks out from its downward sloping parallel channel, it could have a price increase of $17.2K from the point of breakout. If there is a confirmed break of the upper channel (~$44.5K), the target price is ~$62K.
Strong resistance at $46K.
1b/ If #BTC fails to break out of the channel, it'd retest the $40K-$41K resistance again before resuming up. Breaching that, it'd fall between $32K & $37K.
As the bull phase is still intact, it shouldn't fall below (Wave 2= $29.2K*).
1a/This model (LGC) is constructed on Tradingview with #BTC log growth curves developed by @quantadelic with log Fib levels & time-based Fib zones added on a 2-week BTC chart. This is similar to TechDevโs chart, but the cycle peak log Fib level is at 2.618 & not 2.272.
2a/ To derive the timing of the cycle peak, time-based Fib zones are drawn from mid-cycle correction to the peak of the impulse move after that correction at or above the 1.618 log Fib level.
In past cycles, the peak occurred right between time-based 1.618 Fib & 2 Fib zones.
Some people are calling a giant head & should pattern for #BTC with a target price of $10K-$18K. Possible, but highly unlikely! Why?
TLDR: 1. US10Y: Bullish 2. BTC Futures: Bullish 3. BTC Options Bullish 4. Technicals: BTC could grind down to $40K-$41K & then rebound to $64K
1a/ #BTC's price has been highly correlated with US10Y & they had moved in lock-steps since 11/8/21 until last week. Traders risked off ahead of the Fed minutes & sold stocks & BTC.
1b/ The Fed will probably quicken the pace of tapering & raise rates sooner, but will likely allow their treasuries holdings to mature (no quantitative tightening or shrinking of B/S).
As long as the US economy is growing, a modest rate hike won't crash the markets.
2. Projected Peak Timing: Early 2nd Qtr. 2022 3. Model points to lengthening of cycle 4. Projected next cycle peak in late 3rd Qtr. 2026 when hyperbitcoinization may occur
1/ The fact that #BTC prices closed below the arc of the original BLX model in 2 consecutive months means that something is wrong either in the model or bull phase is over.
I don't think the cycle peak is in so I started anew. I used parallel channels to reconstruct the model.
