This model is based on Willy Woo's Top Cap Model for tracking the peak & the bottom tracker is based on #BTC's moving average price.
BTC has neither peaked nor is it in a bear phase.

This model is based on Fib retracement & extension numbers as multiples of the 350D SMA of #BTC's price.
*This is similar to that when #BTC was on #CTM Wave 1 in the 2013 bull phase.
For BTC to be in a bear phase, MVRV-Z Score will go to the pink zone & then trend down.

This metric seems to be entering Wave 5. This corresponds to that when #BTC has exited the #CTM Wave 1 low & onto Wave 2.
* BTC is neither in a bear phase nor has it peaked.
No change, but the chart pattern is similar to that when #BTC was out of #CTM Wave 1 dip in the 2013 bull phase.
For BTC to enter its bear phase, Reserve Risk will go to the pink zone first & then trend down.

a(i) The hash rate for #BTC miners continues to recover after the China mining ban. This has caused a global reshuffle of BTC mining hash rate such that the US has now emerged as the global leader in BTC mining as per the latest report from CCAF.
1a(ii) Technically, the #BTC hash rate forms an ascending channel. It challenged the key resistance level at 177E, which is also near the top of the channel, but got rejected. It's since recovered & is again on a run to challenge the resistance. Bullish!
The Pi Cycle Top indicator has been accurate in picking out #BTC's tops. If #BTC's cycle peak were to occur in Dec. 2021, would it work?
TLDR: No, unless BTC will perform way better than in past cycles from the mid-cycle correction low with a blow-off top >$500K in Dec. 2021.
1/ The Pi Cycle Top indicator has been accurate in picking the timing of #BTC's tops within +/- 3 days. It uses the 111-day simple moving average (111SMA) & the 350SMAx2 of BTC's price. When the 111SMA moves up and crosses the 350SMAx2, that is when BTC's price reaches a top.
2/ Assume #BTC will reach its cycle peak in December 2021, 3 past BTC price data sets scaled from the mid-cycle correction low are used to test if the Pi Cycle Top could pick out the peak in 2021.
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?
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 $GBTC unless its value its lower relative to BTC.
The following๐งตis a refresher about the Grayscale #Bitcoin Trust ($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.
