Bearmarket
BTC FEAR AND GREED INDEXAfter BTC corrects to the $86K level and the Timeline sentiment hit an all time low it got me thinking, is there any correlation between sentiment around pivotal price levels of the market? To find out I studied the "Fear and Greed Index", an indicator that uses a range of sources such as volatility, volume, sentiment, dominance and trends to give a score out of 100. 1 being peak fear and 100 being peak greed.
The results were interesting, currently the FGI is 21/100 (extreme fear) and if you've spent much time on crypto twitter is does feel that way too. However, during this bull market there are two key price areas where BTC had the same score:
Bear market bottom -
When the bear market ended after a full year of brutal selling BTCs price was around $16K with the same FGI score as today with 21. This signaled the end to the selling and began the bull market we have now.
Q2-23 '24 bottom -
For me, the most relevant time to compare FGI with todays score is with the bottom of the bearish trend channel we suffered through in 2024. Although price did wick below this $53,923 level to hit GETTEX:49K , the daily didn't close below it and so the September 6th low is the trend channel bottom. FGI score of 22 provided the springboard for the next leg up.
So with his information the real question is this: Are we still in a bull market? If the answer is yes, then history tells us once FGI reaches these levels the bottom is in and the next leg up is around the corner.
If the answer is no then the printing of a new lower high after yesterdays lower low will be confirmation of bitcoin rolling over.
I am not sure which is true but having a plan for both will be very important.
BTC.D - Doomsday or Expected?Evening fellas,
Remember back then when we would say "only the top 1% will actually make it"
Yeah, what about that? People seem to forget this market is extremely fake, full of shitcoins that will not go anywhere.
Trust me, the bottom for alts is not in. Minimum we go here is 75%.
Once the bitcoin maximalists have acquired enough btc by trading alt/btc pair they will dump everything they got back into only BTC.
Gonna leave this here.
Trade thirsty, my friends.

Nifty Weekend Update...alert!!!!Hey guys, currently nifty this week fall more then 4%, due to holidays FII are selling highly.
If you see the chart you can see nifty currently just above of 50WMA after huge selling pressure it still above the 50WMA, if this will break next week onwards we will enter a bear market for short term period, so in my opinion this is now a crucial moment so keep cash in hand for buying in the dip.
Another scenario if nifty will bounce break from this level or first breaking 50wma then trap all bears and then bounce back above 50WMA that will also good for nifty to continue its trend to 30K.
ETH Ethereum Bear Market If you haven`t bought the recent Double Bottom on Ethereum:
Now you need to know that historically, Ethereum has shown a tendency to retrace in December before starting a recovery around March. This pattern could repeat this season, with ETH facing selling pressure as year-end portfolio rebalancing and macro uncertainties weigh on the market.
While a brief Santa Claus rally might provide temporary relief, the bearish trend is expected to dominate until March. By then, ETH could trade below $3,000 before regaining momentum, aligning with its historical recovery trend as market conditions stabilize in spring.

Microsoft - Short Term Top Formation!Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) could create a short term correction:
Click chart above to see the detailed analysis👆🏻
Almost for the entire year of 2024, Microsoft has been moving sideways and respecting the upper channel resistance trendline. It is quite likely that we will see a correction, considering that buyers are still weak, before we then see the overall trend continuation.

Believe it or not, Bear Market is almost finishedhello traders
Bitcoin is outside its price range and approached a strong retracement area that is difficult to pass (MONTHLY IMBALANCE _ RESISTANCE BECOMES SUPPORT _ NOT FRESH DEMAND)
At least for the next period, Bitcoin will return to its price range, and there are other TARGETS that it can reach

Nvidia - Consolidation Before -50% Drop!Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA ) is preparing for the correction:
Click chart above to see the detailed analysis👆🏻
Nvidia is still creating pretty clear market structure and price action and therefore there is no reason to change direction or opinion. Following the previous cycles, a correction of roughly -55% is likely and Nvidia's recent consolidation is a first strong sign of bearish weakness.

Bitcoin Market State - September 2024Everything has been moving pretty much as described in my last update half a year ago, however the projection for the top has changed.
It appears as though Bitcoin shall not break through 100k, but will instead front-run it at the 80k region. This is a deviation from my previous estimate, and is due to new data in the last 6 months.
Looking at the economic situation, we have finally started getting rate-cuts. This was one of the criteria for confirming that we are about to enter a recession-induced bear market in the near future.
High point rate-cuts by the Fed are a sign of policy panic, and reaction to a failing economy. The effects of these policy changes take many months to trickle down, therefore 2025 is looking like a losing position with reinforcement far away.
Only when the rates finally get below 1%, do I expect to see liquidity injections into the market.
Be aware, that this would be Bitcoin's first recession, hence the extended downtrend in both price and time.
The timeline remains the same for the top projection (November 2024 - March 2025), and the bear market target remains the same too (Sub 10k prices in 2026).
This is not financial advice, and is against popular opinion.

$SPX & $NQ Recession AlertBased 100% on the charts I believe we have begun a bear market. I provide several charts supporting my claim and time will tell if I am right or wrong. I provide a clear target and invalidation point.
Nothing I am saying is financial advice and this is all my opinion. You will lose your money following others opinions.
I have opened $2500 worth of calls on NASDAQ:SQQQ & AMEX:SPXU
Nasdaq - Here we finally go!TVC:NDQ is finally rejecting the resistance and creating the anticipated bearish correction.
Let me just put it that way: The correction was 100% anticipated and you can definitely then trade accordingly. Just a couple of weeks ago the Nasdaq retested a resistance which has been pushing price lower for 14 years - a correction was very likely. So far the Nasdaq is dropping significantly but I don't think that the current correction will actually be over soon...

Russell 2000 fractal points to 40-60% dropRussell 2000 currently creating fractal.
Points to possible 40-60% downside.
This fractal creates:
- A top
- A bear flag
- A failed break to the upside
- A large break down after the failed break up
This fractal occurred in 2008 and 2020.
Both instances of recessionary bear markets.
This could play out similarly if we get a recession.
Price target is around 95 -100.
Nikkei Hits Bear Market after BoJ HikeAfter a cautious approach away from its ultra-easy monetary setting, the Bank of Japan bolstered its normalization efforts last week. Policymakers raised rates to around 0.25% after the March watershed exit from sub-zero levels, pointed to more moves ahead and also announced sizable reduction in bond purchases.
This action signaled tightening resolve and also accelerated the Yen rebound, threatening to unravel the two key pillars of the stock markets’ rally to record highs. Along with broader recession fears after the US jobs report, JPN225 slumps into a bear market as it loses more than 20% for July’s all-time high and could be in for further losses.
On the other hand, the BoJ is still in accommodative territory and warned that could increase its bond buying if needed, while the broader market rout could push it back into a more conservative approach. Furthermore the rate differential is still huge and the carry trade may persist. From a technical standpoint the RSI points to the most oversold conditions in years and that could help JPN225 rebound out of bear territory and towards a cluster of hurdles that starts with the 200Days EMA, but significant sentiment improvement needed.
