$BTC needs to reclaim $19k relatively quickly (next day or two), to put a Cycle behind it. Otherwise the market would be signaling a deeper cut is required. That's my read.
Adding some clarity on this.

From an ultimate low or end to bear market, this does change things. 👇
FTX was a surprise to 99% of FTX employees and large cap investors. Meaning, this event was not pre-priced in. Impact is liquidity but more important, trust.

This delays and slows the build out of the next bull phase, but it doesn't kill it!
So in the short-term, the market will (if not already) find lows and offer a relief rally.
But expect the next 60-day Cycle, due in early January, to experience at least a retest of these areas. And we could spend big portions of that cycle down near (or below) those lows.
So I think it's more likely the 4 Year Cycle Low is reserved for the Jan time-frame. If shit really hits the fan, it's not entirely implausible that it's March.

Cycles reflect what is known about the market. New information with serious bite, has come to light.
Basically, more time is needed. More time to heal and absorb the impact.
Personally, not unfazed. Time is always the key.

I still fall back on the idea that if you believe in the peer to peer aspect of the space AND your time-frame is wide, we find ourselves in one of the most attractive periods for investors.

A thread on the #FTX saga.

Firstly, I'm essentially clueless on the FTX situation.

I know one simple rule. Generally where there is smoke.......

And this is especially true in crypto.

Not intended to be FUD, and for the sake of the space, hope this passes quickly.
In investing, the #1 priority of an investor is to protect capital first.

This type of event has a way of becoming self-fulfilling.

Especially if $FTT token is the collateral backing everything or the primary "asset" on the books. Because let's face it, it's faith based.
So the question here really is, is the Alameda/FTX complex solvent with $FTT priced at $3? If the answer is yes, then should be fine. If it's no, then run.

gm and happy Monday. Here is where markets stand today.

(thread)

#bitcoin joins the group of failed Cycles. Now shows a Day 6 (of 60) high and failed Cycle. That's very early.
#Stocks Showed a Day 4 (of 40) high and failed cycle, which seems to unlikely to be true.
Gold a Day 7 and failed Cycle.

"In theory", the coming (2023-26) #bitcoin 4-yr Cycle is the final 4 year cycle of a larger 16 yr Cycle.

That 4th of 4 Cycles 'should' form Left Translated, to provide for a declining (true bear) phase of the 16 yr cycle.

Thread - 1/n
What does 'Left Translated" mean?

The (price) TOP of the Cycle occurs early in the 4yr period. The period is measured from trough to trough.

That allows for more time to decline over the period. And generally results in a lower low forming from one cycle trough to another.
It's the true bear or declining 4yr cycle that gives the longer (16yr in this case) cycle the time to form it's own bottom.

Ha?

The chart below shows 4 x 4yr cycles within a 16yr Cycle. Last Cycle tops early to give 16yr Cycle room in declining (secular bear) phase.

I'd say the intuition of almost every participant in #crypto, specifically #bitcoin and #Ethereum (yes maybe others) is that over the coming years, it will be up substantially.

It's the highest conviction belief in a highly volatile space.

1/n
Everything else in this space requires far more research, skill, dedication, experience, and risk!

And the above is worth pursuing for many, the right way.

But when the high conviction path offers such great optionality and probability of success, you cannot ignore it.
By this I simply mean, remove significant portions of the volatility and focus on the long term conviction.

Sure it's not sexy, it's hard to LARP, but it's the surest path by far. And for most, that's the path they belong on.

There is the gold drop and should soon form a Weekly (24-week) Cycle Low soon.
"IF" correct, Silver will put in a classic bear trap.
Really cannot expect much from metals until the Dollar hits the 3-yr Cycle peak. Looking like a blow-off move now into a summer peak. FED will signal the top.

Money is personal and emotional. And emotional investors often make the wrong choices at the worst of times. They generally don’t fare well.

1/n
Your strategy, signal, or idea cannot be shaped on emotional ideas, such as dreams of hitting it big.

Furthermore, they’re only ever as good as your ability to execute.

And it’s most often the emotional brain that steers you from the right, rational decision.
Whenever I speak to people about losses or missed opportunity, inevitably the conversation is something like “well I knew that would happen but I flipped/changed my mind. What a fool”.
