This is a complete aggregation of the TPO series. The platform I use the most is Exocharts but TradingView also offers a TPO option as well that can be used to start off.
Hope this was helpful. If you want more long form edu threads, like the first tweet in the thread.
Also considering doing a full series on youtube (will gauge interest through this thread) - link for youtube in bio.

> monthly profile - Jan point of control - ~105 unable to reclaim + multiple rejections so far.
> imbalance (untested conviction) between ~97-100.
> to keep it simple, 105 has remained a key area to flip to rotate towards ATH. However, repeated sell pressure + spot asks stacking every time price approaches this area indicating this has remained a premium for participants thus far. i.e. significant aggression required for turnover.
> note previous balance established here with value between 101 and 93. if acceptance back inside this expecting some reflexivity to the downside (this posture is aided by the aggressive positioning on the way up which lends well to unraveling).
TPO
> 10 day composite bracketing value b/w ~104 and 102.6 with breakout vwap providing reactions thus far.
> price currently trading into low side of composite value and discretionary vwap once again.
> on ltf (1 min), looks like perps are attempting to get aggressive while there is continued spot selling pressure currently.
> look for this general area for continued weakness or ltf bounce (need spot follow through for another attempt at rotating higher).
$BTC Spot
> 2.5% spot depth tells the story of 105+ remaining expensive (ask side skew moving to 100+ Ms in stacking when price approaches this area).
> currently slightly skewed towards the bid side - ~70Ms.
TLDR:
> 105 - key pivot for continuation to ATH - continued sell pressure above thus far.
> low to mid 102s aligned with balance value + breakout vwap (trading here currently).
> imbalance under here = potential reflexivity to the down-side with aggressive positioning established on the way up.
> 100 is a major milestone for $BTC so spending a lot of time under this area = sign to remain cautious and be flexible with posture.
tldr - im tired boss. price rugging with haste as I'm typing out the update and having to modify lol
“History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.”
The Boom-Bust Sequence & The Comparison of Narrative Momentum & Price (in particular, Narrative Cycle Tops).
a thread 🧵
While reading through George Soros's "Alchemy of Finance" and Brent Donnelly's "Alpha Trader" (in particular, the narrative section), I was struck by several AHA moments.
I would like to try to recreate the same for you. At a minimum, by the end of this thread you should have some understanding of the following terms:
It stems from social theory and George Soros brought it into the world of finance.
An analogy: Pavlov's Experiment & Conditioning To make a long story short, Pavlov set up an experiment where he rang a bell before giving food to his dogs.
Initially, the dogs didn't give much of a shit when the bell was rung. With time, the ringing of the bell elicited a response in the dogs and they would salivate at the ringing of the bell (in anticipation of the food).
We'll come back to how this concept fits into The Boom-Bust Sequence.
