Weekly Timeframe analysis
Where do we go from here?
Well price will now range within the grey box and offer an opportunity to break down to the daily imbalance, where price will look to test the 4 day imbalance of 0.382% Fibonacci.
Price has a high probability to look to the testing of the weekly imbalance first and then look to short based upon the reactive weekly imbalance.
The structure is still a buy and hold - but do your own due diligence based on your approach*
Below are the monthly imbalances
Firstly using the monthly timeframe, this has provided two key zones of interests for long positions.
(i) the first zone has created a perfect early opportunity where price has firstly established a high of $143X dollars and retested the low - creating an inefficiency between the high and the low. Now from the low test - price has confirmed a strong imbalance where price can now target to create an equal high.
(ii) the second zone which marks an in efficiency - is between $200 - 490, where the monthly zone had created a bearish month - by creating a pathway from the bearish candle high, notice how price closed out the previous wick on the falling pattern back in July 2018. This is the key identifier which price has re-aligned creating a fractal pattern on the weekly.
where;
(i) A bullish fractal is created when the low point is established, with two higher low bars/candles on each side of it.
(ii) A bearish fractal occurs when there is a high point with two lower high bars/candles on each side of it.
Here are the weekly imbalances
Here are the three zones which are imbalances created in the past. Price is currently forming a weekly/monthly imbalance at this moment, however it is difficult to determine without a close. So longs are still activated in a buying pattern upon the long term outlook and short term outlook .
The first zone established - has been created using the previously created all time high from $1100 - $1400- the previous monthly wick has been closed out by the imbalances of the buyers and can become the lowest imbalance but also the strongest to identify where price will able to drop to in a bearish probable scenario.
the second zone is placed above - where price created a retracement from the high established.
Using the Fibonacci tool, price aligns to a low of 50% which touches the zone perfectly. This is a perfect pivot point to complete the overextension sequence using the weekly. [refer to chart ii ]

The bears are coming! - which is normal as part of buying and selling imbalances.
Using the 16 hour timeframe:
Below are the sixteen hour imbalances where - price has shown a good opportunity for price to react to the following zones.
Note the top zone is a Fibonacci zone - as stated in multi timeframes above.
The true zone according to the imbalances are $3100-3500 for a opportunity to short again .
Let price fall and react accordingly to the zones. Await the opportunity for the imbalance wick to close out - where price will be successfully filled.
The Bears came
The price fell to desired reaction level to test $1600-1750 level as expected this aligned with the 61.8% Fibonacci structure and continue to offer discounts to buyers. Yet the 70.5% did not manage to adopt
The reaction occurred as expected as the weekly zone below is the most important established imbalance.
The overall big picture of Fibonacci combined with the imbalances:
Note the 50% & 61.8% of the retracement zones are important here.

Key:
Bitcoin cash - Orange
Litecoin - Sky blue
Monero - Yellow
Stellar Lumens - Purple.
Using a line chart graph, you can distinctly find where price has shown a similar market structure using imbalances. Notice the pattern formation on the in the two current zones. the correlated assets are providing insights, respective to the pathway desired by price between the new imbalances.
All coins have , the extension pathway has created opportunities here to continue longs - where the weekly zones and monthly zones indicate the buying zones or profit targets for sellers in kind.

🔥 Bitcoin Realistic Top Prediction For The CycleOnce in a while I like to discover long-term predictions and analyses for the crypto market. For the current analysis I want to look at (logarithmic) Fibonacci extension lines. I found out that the 1.272 and 2.272 extensions are seemingly very important for the last two cycles. The Fibonacci extension is measured from previous cycle top to next cycle bottom.
During every cycle, Bitcoin sees some form of mid-cycle correction towards the 1.272 extension. This Fibonacci extension then functions as a spring to allow the price rise towards the 2.272 extension. The 2.272 extension predicts a remarkable close top of the cycle.
During the second Bitcoin cycle one can clearly see the price rising above the 1.272 extension, re-testing it and continueing the move towards the 2.272 extension, which was also the top for the cycle.
During the last (third) Bitcoin cycle, you can see the same thing happening. Although the retracement to the 1.272 extension was less potent and of a shorter duration, it still functioned as a spring for BTC. After the re-test the price went all the way up to the 2.272, where that area functioned as a clean indication of the top.
This long-term analysis can be used in conjunction with my other long-term analysis (see above). With the current analysis predicting a cycle top around $215k, it would mean that Bitcoin will top somewhere in February 2022. I come by this conclusion by following the blue line in the analysis above and marking the date where it hits ~$215k.
Obviously, this analysis is based on speculation. However, I find the Fibonacci extensions to hold up surprisingly well over the years. Furthermore, it supports my argument that the dip that we saw from May to July was nothing more than a mid-term correction.
Hope you enjoy. Happy trading!
XAUUSD Gold: End of the bullish trend ? Updating our XAUUSD Weekly Chart.
Jackson Hole Symposium by The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City; Aug. 26-28, can be the place of the FED's first strong sign of a new path.
The location of the key support zone is 1765 - 1750 USD/Ounce.
Weekly closing below 1750 ( and the closing below the red trendline ) will add weight on the ounce.
It is early to take a big short position before closing below 1750 USD/Ounce.
Below 1750; our targets are 1720, 1700 1685, and 1640.

🔥 Comparing Different Bitcoin Cycles - UpdateA couple of weeks ago I made a long-term analysis on the state of the bull-cycle and the future of it.
There's several very interesting things that one can deduce from this graph.
1) The cycles are getting less intense. The difference between the top and the low is relatively diminishing, making each cycle less explosive than the previous.
2) The cycles are getting longer. With each new cycle, it takes longer to reach the top of the cycle. "Time is your friend" has never been more fitting.
Furthermore, the current bull-cycle was "ahead" (above the previous cycles) of where it should've been and therefore the May correction was neccessary. At this point, we are exactly where we should be in the cycle.
Comparing the growth of previous cycles, we can connect them via the blue line. Assuming the blue line will hold for the current cycle, I'm expecting BTC to top somewhere in the first half of 2022, with the top ranging anywhere between 130k - 200k. This assumes that the growth rate of the current cycle will be less than the previous cycle.
The current BTC break-out could very well be the start of the bull-cycle continuation pattern.
Happy trading!
Litecoin is showing a potential RUN!I am watching LTC here, I like the wave count.
Litecoin has very nice cycles, Kinda like DOGE/BTC but slightly different.
I like cycles, Market cycles, Elliott wave cycles, Planetary cycles, etc.
I think we have more upside for this coin, Major support is quite strong.
Major resistance looks like it can easily be broken.
Stay profitable

GOLD long toward 1870 for wave 1 (yellow), SL @ 1792. 2/8/21GOLD wave 1 (yellow) probably not completed yet As current price possible at wave c (Green Circled) of wave 1 (yellow).. Long Gold at around 1808 at the end of triple zig zag correction (not shown on chart) . Stop Lost at 1792 which is the low of wave (ii)(Red). Target Profit at around 1870..( about 620 pips potential gain) ...
Bitcoin cycles explained by date ranges and retesting the 1.618
Every bitcoin cycle gets a retest of the previous cycle 1.618 fib extension level from previous bear market low to that cycles bullrun high
The green lines pointing out those are the halving - The bullrun begins
The pink lines pointing the retest of the 1.618 + The start of the next leg up to the high of that bullrun
The red lines are pointing the bullrun highs
Now if you take those dates from previous cycle, i see the possibility of the next leg up to finish this bullrun.
Please let me know what you think of this.
Massive NEO Sale Opprtunity!This comes once every 249137 years. It seems that we are heading to the all time POC, which basically means no one wants to hold NEO anymore except its creator and his mother. The trend line is longing for the long awaited reunion with the ground, while the RWI mouth is still hungry for a little bit more red in the very short term.
BTC analysis: Why 20k could be the bottom.NFA
NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.
This is just my personal point of view.
Hello everybody, in this analysis I've chosen to use the basics: Stoch RSI, MACD, RSI... Along with other tools like: Log Fib, Bottom Ind, Etc.
First of all, I'd like to explain what kind of info can be retrieved from this chart. This chart notices about one clear as crystal thing: BTC price tends to go upwards with time, and that price increase tend to desaccelerate with time, also known as diminished returns . Next thing that should be explained is when BTC resumes an uptrend and when it does the opposite. That would be the identification of "cycles". According to popular media, BTC usually increases its price once it's getting closer to its next halvening date and to summarize the theory, BTC has four year cycles as a cyclical asset. My view is that BTC is effectively a cyclical asset where those c ycles are getting extended / longer and that sooner or later, probably by 2024, that extension of cycles won't fit with halvening dates. So what is going on? It' easy to spot that BTC went superbullish from its inception in 2009 to 2011, then crash, then first halvening, then a first "middle cycle peak" by 2013 and after a massive crash a new upward trend pushed the price to a new ATH by early 2014 as a "final cycle peak". Then same history repeated, price went downwards til next halvening which happened in 2016 and a massive bullrun by 2017 which was stopped by some big correction in the summer of that year. Then you got bear period for a year, a great bullrun by early 2019 summer and then our "current cycle" started.
To avoid overextending this, what is my point ? My point is that "mid cycles" doesnt exit. Every main cycle has a bullrun, a bear season, and a resume for another final bullrun; and those trends are getting shorter as you can see in the chart checking the measured time bars. What does this mean for the average guy? Well, it's going to be harder to spot if you are in a bullish or bearish trend, but the good news is that those trend are gonna last a little less than previous ones. Whom benefits this? That's easy. Investors and good traders. Average trader is the only one losing here as he wouldnt know what is going on.
In this main chart, you can see a log BTC/USD view using a tool which has recognized extremely well the bands which BTC has been using consistently as supports and resistances for its entire history. The black lines are the edges between what we should consider the top and bottom. Any candle going higher than the upper black line would be an extraordinary event pushed by extremely welcomed good news. On the other hand, any candle going lower than the lower black line would be an extraordinary event pushed by extremely spurned bad news. To date, upper black line has never been broken. On the other hand, lower black line has been pierced one time before when the uncertainty took the stock market back in March 2020 and after a massive black swan event and consequently crash, the fear spreaded to crypto market. To summarize this, only another black swan event should be able to drop the price below the black line, and in fact that event would happen, there are extra support zones which should stop the crash as it did back in March 2020.
As you can see in this zoomed chart, even if that black swan event would happen this week, price should keep above 12k. And if everything goes well, price should s top crashing around 20k .

Weekly Stoch RSI showing up longest downtrend that it has ever experienced. It's worthy of attention to realize about that every time BTC has touched these levels, Stoch RSI has bounced off providing at least a relief rally.
s3.amazonaws.com
Weekly MACD showing up biggest crash ever for MACD levels, hitting lowest point ever for BTC. This metric shows up a possible reversal for the short-term as relief-rally and a feasible macro-trend change for mid-term as most optimistic scenario.
s3.amazonaws.com
Weekly RSI showing up a multiyear weekly rsi support. Any support or resistance drawed line requires at least three pivot points, so there are big chances about RSI could bounce off from that point.
s3.amazonaws.com
Daily RSI showing up a multimonthly daily rsi resistance. As you can see, this chart summarizes pretty well how every pump attempt from previous wave downwards has concluded as a weaker pump than previous one as that is being translated in that RSI trendline which so far has been unbreakeable. Irretrievably, this trendline will get pierced sooner or later as even if the same trading loop keeps happening, the RSI would be pushed every time closer to the bounce-off point edge.

🔥 Comparing Different Bitcoin CyclesWith this analysis I want to shed some light on where we currently are in the fourth Bitcoin bull-cycle, compared to the previous three cycles. I measure the cycle from low after previous cycle to high of the cycle. There are different ways of drawing the cycles (comparing halvings for example), but for me this one makes the most sense.
There's several very interesting things that one can deduce from this graph.
1) The cycles are getting less intense. The difference between the top and the low is relatively diminishing, making each cycle less explosive than the previous.
2) The cycles are getting longer. With each new cycle, it takes longer to reach the top of the cycle. "Time is your friend" has never been more fitting.
When we look at the current cycle we can see a couple of things that are standing out from the other cycles.
1) There's been several occasions where the current cycle "went too fast" comparing to other cycles, after which BTC had to cool off for a couple of months. This has been a major thing with the most recent sell-off from 65k > 30k. BTC was ahead of schedule by a lot, so it had to correct by a lot to get below the previous cycle's growth path.
2) The current cycle is the most volatile one, which is caused by the COVID dump last year and the subsequent massive quantitative easing that followed.
In previous analyses I've mentioned that I think that we're currently in a mid-cycle correction. My arguments for this are that this cycle is too short to be completed. At the very least we "should" have another 8-14 months for the current cycle. Furthermore, the top of the cycle is not even close where it should be, compared to previous cycles.
Looking at the blue trend-line, the top of the cycle should be somewhere from 100k-150k (rough estimate).
To conclude, I'm confident that Bitcoin will see another strong bullish push. The current cycle is far from over.
Happy trading!
