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!
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.
1b(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(i) #BTC miner balance increased last week. The monthly change in miner's BTC balance is positive.
Weekly change: +279 BTC
Monthly change: +632 BTC
Bullish!

a(i) The Net #BTC Transfer Vol. to/from Exchanges (NTVE) is inversely correlated with BTC's price.
NTVE was net -ve last week & that helped BTC to rise >$57K.
This week, NTVE flipped from +ve to -ve & BTC corrected first & then rose to $58K.
2a(ii) #BTC could still peak at $360K based on my pinned tweet under 2(ii)(c).
2b The balance of #BTC on Exchanges decreased last week. We saw BTC's price test the $56K level a number of times & finally broke through it on 10/11/21. It's now above $57K.
Weekly Change: -837 BTC
Monthly Change: -4044 BTC
2c Last week, Whales sold 45454 #BTC. This explained why #BTC's price stalled at $56K. Their stash were all bought up by Great Whites & Fish. Tiger Sharks & Minnows took profits.
Early this week, Whales started buying again! This has helped BTC's price to break out & reach $58K.
2d(i) The LT HODLers' #BTC supply falls as BTC's price ascends to its interim or cycle peak.
The current trend of old coins mimics the 2013 BTC bull phase- LT HODLers stacking sats before the cycle peak.
Last week, their BTC holdings set a new ATH of 12.1M coins. Still๐!
2d(ii) As #BTC has exited #CTM Wave 1 & onto Wave 2, the Spent Output Age Bands (SOAB) show that LT HODLers are holding onto most of their coins.
In 2013, SOAB continued to rise until the cycle peak. In 2017, it rose at first & then declined as BTC's rose to its cycle peak.๐

Last week, 32800 BTC or $1.7B worth of #BTC were withdrawn from Coinbase to cold storage. This is a 40% increase from last week, showing institutions were actively buying BTC as it hovered around $56K.
๐ฐ๐ฎ. ๐ก๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ #BTC RVT Ratio is the realized market cap of BTC to transaction volume ratio.
RVTS (inverse of RVT Ratio) is finally in High Activity. If this continues, we should see BTC's price rally at least like it did when it rallied to its ATH.
4b. The #BTC Active Address Sentiment Indicator broke above the red dotted line (upper std. dev. band of 28D active address change) on 10/11/21, but is now back below it. This shows that market sentiment was slightly overheated, but now back in check. BTC could rally a bit more.

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.
