I tweeted #BTC would hit $51.4K yesterday & it did shortly thereafter. What's next?
TLDR:
Max. price for this rally is ~$73K. Revisit ATH or even set new ATH by 10/31/21
Why?
-Buy & Sell Oscillator & MRGO-14: Buy
-Futures: Bullish w/ some selling
-Options: Bullish
-TA: Bullish
1/ MRGO-14 uses the difference in changes in #BTC's market & realized price to find buy/sell signals for BTC.
Green ➡️ Buy
Red ➡️ Sell
MGRO-14 has flipped green since 10/4/21.
2/ My #BTC Buy & Sell Oscillator has been >1 since 10/5/21.
4/ #BTC's 21D EMA crossed back above its 34D EMA, which is a bullish sign.
CM Super Guppy has flipped green again, showing signs of strength for BTC's price.
5a. CME #BTC futures annualized premium is double digit positive for October 2021, showing the contango trade is on for US institutions (sell BTC futures & buy spot BTC). Bullish!
5b/ The #BTC perpetual futures liquidations for longs are trending down, while shorts are going up. Bullish!
The funding rates at major exchanges are trending negative, indicating traders are net short. Is this a concern?
5b/ Whenever there is a spike in -ve funding rates, #BTC's price will increase sharply. This is happening now. Traders are not convinced of the current BTC rally so they are likely to get rekted! Why?
5d/ Large position of #BTC futures longs usually gets liquidated when funding rates go aping +ve. When that turns -ve, we could see a major correction. This is not happening.
If funding rates continue to trend -ve but no major spikes, BTC's price could see downward pressure.
5e/ #BTC futures OI are building up along with rising BTC's prices. The level to watch is $19B which is the level that lead to the 19% correction in 9/7/21.
But as the funding rates are negative, indicating traders are net short, there's more room for BTC's price to run up.
6a/ $1.6B of Deribit #BTC options are expiring on 10/29/21.
Max Pain= $45K
Put/call Ratio= 0.31!!!
The put call ratio indicates traders are extremely bullish about BTC's price in October 2021.
25 delta skew for 7, 30 & 60 days are showing the same bullish trend.
7a/ Technically, #BTC took out the upper line of repair (LOR) & reached the falling wedge price target of $51.4K. It met resistance & retested the LOR successfully. It should resume up soon. If not trend line #2 should provide good support.
What is the price target?
7b/ Last time, when #BTC had a major run to its ATH from 11/26/2020, it reached between 1.272 & 1.414 Fib extension. If the same price action repeats, BTC's price could go up to $73K.
What is the timeline for hitting that? Not this month, but November 2021 likely.
7c/ Using trendlines & a pitchfork, it is determined that #BTC is likely to revisit or even surpass its ATH by 10/31/21 as it is at the confluence of the trend line 'a' & one of the pitchfork trend lines.
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 TechDev’s 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.
