1/ When #ALTSEASON THREAD🔥🔥

In this thread I am looking at #crypto market structures to assess when an #altcoin market peak should happen and as a consequence #altseason, which happens in the weeks before the peak
2/ To assess when the next #altseason peak will happen, I’ll be looking at charts of #Bitcoin, #Ethereum and the dominance of #altcoins of the different past altseasons. By aligning them “correctly” structure-wise, I found this provisional target zone when the peak should happen
3/ Before getting started, where are #altcoins in their “market curve”? When compared to #Bitcoin one can see that they are entering the final leg up of the hype phase. This is the altcoin bubble. Bitcoin on the other hand is in the liftoff phase
4/ #Bitcoin and #altcoins are thus in a different stage of the market curve. In this chart you see altcoins structurally aligned with the hype phases of Bitcoin in 2010-2014 and the Nasdaq Dotcom bubble. Bitcoin is aligned with the gold liftoff in 1999-2011
5/ Within a single bull market cycle, #Bitcoin is not as far progressed as #altcoins. Bitcoin is in its “neutral stage”. Altcoins are in the next stage, the rising wedge before the top
6/ This gets us to the first comparison. #Altcoins are possibly in the final stage of the “Altcoin bubble”. They are now in the rising wedge before the top. This structural comparison with the Nasdaq Dotcom bubble gives us as a target: 11 July 2022
7/ When instead of comparing with the structure of the Nasdaq Dotcom bubble, looking at the launch of #ethereum and the WWW, one gets as a target: 10 June 2022
8/ #Bitcoin looks like it’s building a base similar to the big 2019-2020 base. In the summer of 2020 an #altseason happened. The same timespan from the March 2020 Covid crash to the summer 2020 altseason peak gives us as a target: 30 June 2022
9/ #Bitcoin is in its “neutral stage”. The neutral stage in 2012 looked very similar to 2022. I expect it to play out similarly now, with a bump during summer when it moves a bit with #altcoins. Bitcoin likely peaks later in 2023. Target for altcoins: Summer 2022
10/ At the end of the 2016 “neutral stage”, a big #altseason happened in the spring of 2017 for about 3 months. #Bitcoin had a similar slowly increasing volume profile. This gives room (volume) for alts to grow. Target Summer 2022
11/ Strong movements of #Ethereum were in the past the beginning of #altseason. Structurally the Ethereum price right now is very similar to 2016-2017. When it broke through the moving averages it was 6 months to the top. Target: Summer 2022
12/ Looking at the #Ethereum - #Bitcoin pair is also interesting, when it moves up Ethereum outperforms Bitcoin. The comparison of the similar RSI pattern of 2016-2017 gives two possible targets: 3 July and 11 August 2022
13/ The #Ethereum - #Bitcoin structure of 2019 – 2021 is also very similar to the 2021 – 2022 structure. Especially the structure in the middle gives it away. Target: 7 June 2022

FYI: In the past the Ethereum - USD peak was within days of the #altcoin market peak
14/ The others chart is a chart of the top 125 #altcoins with about 10 big marketcap coins excluded. It gives us the best signal of the #altcoin market. A comparison with the 2017 structure gives us this target: 12 September 2022
15/ The RSI profile of the others chart of this bull market also shows some structural similarities with the previous bull market. Target: 25 July 2022
16/ The others chart compared with 2010-2014 #Bitcoin. Both are in their hype phase according to the market curve I’ve shown above. I chose two different alignments, one aligned for bottoms, one for tops. Targets: 12 July and 30 November 2022
17/ Now let’s take a look at the #Bitcoin dominance chart. A similar setup as 2019-2020 is visible. Pattern comparison gives us target: 2 August 2022

I expect a bigger drop / #altseason to happen than summer 2020
18/ The #Bitcoin dominance chart upside down also shows a beautiful Cup & Handle pattern

It shows a very big #altseason
19/ The #Bitcoin dominance chart also shows similarities with 2017, however it is better visible in the others dominance chart. That one resembles 2016-17 Bitcoin dominance (It's named Altcoin dominance on the bottom chart)
20/ Now jumping back to 2019-2020. The Others dominance chart of 2019-2020 looks similar to 2021-2022. Target: 21 July 2022
21/ The mania part of #altseason starts when the price leaves the rising wedge. Then it’s only a couple of weeks to the top. Staying longer within the wedge could cause delays in the timing
22/ All these patterns represent flows of money and psychology processes. The altcoin peak happens when each of these patterns gets completed. Timing can change (/be delayed) when it takes more time to go through them. A delay should be max 2-3 months IMO (blue zone)
23/ The end

MASSIVE #BITCOIN PUMP SOON?? 🔥🔥🔥

Bitcoin and the stock markets are both in a similar structure and macro-economic situation as in 2018 - 2019. Back then this led to a #Bitcoin pump when stocks were capitulating. A new Bitcoin pump soon?

A THREAD on this comparison 👇

(1/9)
Yesterday a tweet caught my attention. Apparently stocks are following a same pattern right now as in 2018. A similar setup led to a capitulation in the stock markets. Lots of indicators are also the same. This capitulation could happen again soon

(2/9)

I already made remarks too that this #Bitcoin correction also looks very similar to the 2018-2019 bear market

#Bitcoin & #Altcoins mini-thread

In this short thread I share valuable insights in the mid term and long term market structure for #Bitcoin & #Altcoins
Every #Bitcoin bull market / parabola has 3 consolidation stages. The further the bull market progresses, upwards pressure increases, the more these structures start pointing upwards

Bitcoin is now in the neutral stage. The rising wedge is the structure before the final run
The rising wedge before the top also happened in other markets such as the Dow Jones in the 20's and the during the Dotcom bubble of the NASDAQ

#Bitcoin and #Altcoins have a different cycle length

They were almost aligned in 2017, but are now shifting apart. I believe #altcoins will peak before #Bitcoin.

These are the patterns I'm looking at right now to have an idea where altcoins and Bitcoin could be heading to. Image
#Altcoins are in the hype phase, like Dotcom bubble Nasdaq and Bitcoin 2010-2014

#Bitcoin is now its lifoff phase following Gold 1999-2011 in the same phase Image
The NASDAQ pattern is an interesting example for #Altcoins because both are 2 hyper-innovative techmarkets with an enormous size. Because of the size and same characteristics it wouldn't suprise me that history will repeat, like it always does

1/ #Bitcoin price thread: 2022 and beyond

In this thread I am dissecting the #Bitcoin price with a ton of insights. I will also share my vision where the Bitcoin is heading and how the Bitcoin price will behave in the future!
2/ The basic thought throughout this thread is this. When you are looking at the #Bitcoin price you are looking at a superposition of investment behaviors. This way I identified 3 major layers. The Bitcoin price is the combination of 3 layers or behaviors
3/ Layer 3 is the base layer. Over time the world will adopt the #Bitcoin network. Layer 3 is about this adoption. This adoption is similar to the network adoption of e.g. the internet or Facebook. Layer 3 is the main support of the bitcoin price (bottom chart @raoulgmi)

Who's ready for an insane #altseason?
A short thread about how #Bitcoin is right now setting up for a historic altseason and second part of cycle
Most people do not realize Bitcoin is still very early in it's cycle. Compared to last cycle, crypto is now between what I call wave 2 and 3. Wave 3 in 2017 happened in the spring of 2017 with an insane altseason and alts outperforming #Bitcoin
I believe the low volume is an indication of the silence before the storm

1/16 Understanding signal and its energy

In this thread I explain in an easy way the importance of understanding signal and its energy. Conceptual thinking in terms of signal and energy will give you deeper understanding of Bitcoin, the (crypto) markets and indicators Image
2/16 What is a signal actually?

A good definition for a signal is: “meaningful information that you are trying to detect”

The part that is not signal, one calls noise: “random, unwanted variation or fluctuation that interferes with the signal” Image
3/16 A signal can take on many different forms. Any type of quantity can be a signal Image
