I have built a simple model for tracking #BTC's cycle top & bottom. This is inspired by Philip Swift's Golden Ratio Multiplier, but I use Fib retracement & extension numbers as multiples instead.
Top: Between 5.618 & 8.618 Fib Lines
Bottom: 0.382 Fib Line
Cycle top: $260K-$410K?
Notes: 1. The model is built simply using the 350D simple moving average (SMA) of #BTC's price. From this, we use Fib retracement & extension numbers as multiples of the 350D SMA of BTC's price to arrive at various lines, namely 0.382, 2.618, 3.618, 5.618, 8.618, 13.618.
2. In the original Golden Ratio Multiplier model, it is noted that each top of #BTC was hitting decreasing Fib sequence multiples of 350D SMA (21, 13, 8, 5, 3) so the current cycle peak should be in the range of 2x. Although this makes sense, I don't think this will happen. Why?
3a. As #BTC is entering the "Early Majority" phase in the S-curve adoption model, it shouldn't exhibit diminishing returns. Thus, although BTC hit decreasing Fib sequence multiples of 350D SMA for the past 4 peaks, this could be due to differences in the Fed's monetary policies.
3b. Whenever Fed initiated QE & #BTC's price topped the 3.618 Fib line, BTC would have a blow-off top that extended above the 8.618 Fib line.
In the 2017 BTC bull phase, when BTC's price topped the 3.618 Fib line, its blow-off top didn't surpass the 5.618 Fib line as no QE.
4a. 2011 was an anomaly when #BTC's price topped the 13.618 Fib line. Note also all #BTC tops are above the 2.618 Fib line.
Cycle peaks occur when BTC's price touches or pierced through:
With QE: 8.618 Fib line
Without QE: 5.618 Fib line
4b. Prior to the mid-cycle correction, #BTC crisscrossed between the 2.618 Fib line but was bounded by the 3.618 Fib & 350D SMA like the past 2 cycles. After the mid-cycle correction, BTC is moving much like the 2013 bull phase where price has ranged between 2.618 Fib & 350D SMA.
5. It is observed that the 0.382 Fib line is best to determine where the #BTC's bear phase low is-- when price touches, pierces through or hovers above it.
The 3.618 Fib line is a good gauge of the top of the dead cat bounce after the first major correction in the bear phase.
6a/ Assume the current #BTC cycle peak takes place on 12/20/21.
With QE, BTC's cycle peak in the current bull phase price could also top out around the 8.618 Fib line, but most likely be between the 5.618 Fib & 8.618 Fib lines.
6b/ Currently, the 5.618 Fib line & 8.618 Fib lines are growing at a respective rate of $565/day & $867/day. Thus, #BTC's cycle peak price may be between $260K to $410K by 12/20/21.
Note this could change depending on the 350D SMA of BTC's price.

1/ Why is $GBTC trading at a discount?
$GBTC will be in discount when its price is trading lower than its #BTC holdings/share outstanding. Simply, investors are unwilling to buy $GBTC unless its value its lower relative to BTC.
The following🧵is a refresher about the Grayscale #Bitcoin Trust ($GBTC) if you want background information about this closed-end BTC fund. Enjoy!
* +ve: Positive
-ve: Negative
NAV: Net Asset Value
AUM: Assets Under Management
DCG: Digital Currency Group, Grayscale's parent
A/ $GBTC used to be the only game in town if one wants exposure to #BTC, but couldn't invest in it directly or wants to invest in a BTC proxy for their 401(k) for tax reasons or doesn't want the hassle to store their private keys. Investors can trade $GBTC at OTCQX Exchange.
B/ $GBTC is backed 100% by #BTC. Accredited investors can buy Grayscale's privately-placed $GBTC shares at NAV (value of BTC holdings/share). When that happens, Grayscale will buy BTC to back up its shares. Currently, 1 $GBTC share = 0.000935656 BTC.
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.
Using Fed Tapering Signals & #BTC Coin Maturation Waves to Time BTC's Cycle Peak
TLDR: The 2021 BTC bull phase is similar to that of 2013 as they're under similar Fed QE policies. On-chain data show similar patterns.
Cycle peak likely in Dec. 2021. BTC isn't in a bear phase.
1a/ I have tweeted a number of times using TA & on-chain data to show that the 2021 #BTC bull phase has more similar traits to that of 2013 rather than that of 2017. The driving force behind these similar price action could be US Fed monetary policy. Why?
1b/ In 2013, the Fed initiated QE3. Since March 2020, the Fed has launched QE Infinity. In both cases, the markets are awash with lots of liquidity, albeit on a different scale. In 2017, there was no QE & the Fed launched a B/S normalization program- quantitative tightening.
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.
