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.

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.
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.
