$BTC macro update
The fear out there is irrational
It's been a while we updated the high timeframes so with that premise, but also because I have been receiving some questions of why I expect Early/Mid January to put in a low and this consolidation to hit its peak fear stage, all whilst
$BTC is still at a whopping 90k, so hereby, a post again putting emphasis on the high timeframes.
Zooming out during choppy times is effective both in the sense of limiting your own (irrational) fear, both through the charts, but also your own personal chart (your overall total P&L). And if you have been religiously trading along, it should look good. My relaxed seat mode style of trading ever since calling the major bottom at 55k lately has put it in a large uptrend on the equity curve since, and a "dampened" downtrend as the market locally topped here.
If your equity curve looks like that, you're doing great as you're simply beating the market through leveraging over 1x on uptrends, and staying under 1x on downtrends, roughly speaking, it is that simple in theory.
If you're back to break even, something went (only slightly) wrong, but you're learning, and if your curve is up only, you're a genius because you sold this local top and shorted on the way down.
Personally happy with a stress free "beating the - up-only crypto markets by a fair amount", with realistic expectations, longevity in mind and using our high timeframe bias as a basis, still fully in tact, and shown in the chart below.
Weekly cycles
So up ahead, I've shown the weekly repetitions of the 24 week cycles each time, and we're up against a low being planted around begin of March assuming my count is still correct.
That's not to scare you, that weekly low could be higher than these prices and I personally expect that to happen.
Whether that happens depends on if we break this current weekly cycle top, to which I am unsure of confirmation (want to see the retest of our Astro Block at 104k, and our lower high retest play out alongside our full low timeframe plans laid out on
$BTC and see what happens there, to either confirm it or expect a higher top).
Daily cycles
And that lower plan also translates in the daily cycles (the second chart). Every daily cycle lasts about 62 days. I use 60 because nothing is perfect and it's in the middle of the range of 50-70 which is safer to not miss out.
But we're coming very close to a low, which is why I don't expect much lower, other than the fake move down early in the year, completing this cycle the earliest 3rd of January, and the latest 14th of January.
Since we had another high placed at FOMC, I wouldn't be surprised if the low next occurs at another macro event, such as CPI release (14th of Jan), or inauguration the latest (21th of Jan).
Would be funny to see a low at the inauguration instead of a top since everyone expected the latter, yet the top happened earlier, and as always is most likely to be just before or during an FOMC meeting, as per our old set of data analysis, still fully valid and accurate as proven.
So ideally, I like it later in January, during the second week as the first week of each month and year especially result in price squeezing around (as well as the last, especially during Holiday season).
After that low is set, it becomes important for the daily cycle to push hard towards 104k, and hopefully put in a higher high instead of a failure (we will see, but for now, the expected and planned for move is up - worry about what comes next only once it arrives, step by step).
Conclusion
So with this analysis, that once again explains both why to not overthink this short term price action during Holiday season (and chop season), yet remain ready at all times and remain bullishly positioned with low leverage, which is what we have been executing, in live time, on my twitter page for free, successfully.
So with that said, enjoy the time forward, chop has a chance to end here soon. And the overall cycle is absolutely not in danger yet, I still see us going higher.
And with the fear out there, it's getting almost worse than pre breakout of 70k, makes me even more confident our continuation thesis is going to play out yet again.
