Oil (CL) Should Continue Lower to Build an Impulsive StructureShort Term Elliott Wave View in Oil (CL) suggests that cycle from 4.12.2024 high is in progress as a 5 waves impulse Elliott Wave structure. Down from 4.12.2024 high, wave (1) ended at 72.48 and rally in wave (2) ended at 84.55. The commodity has turned lower in wave (3) with internal subdivision as another impulse in lesser degree. Down from wave (2), wave (i) ended at 83.07 and rally in wave (ii) ended at 83.45. Oil then extended lower in wave (iii) towards 81.25 and wave (iv) ended at 82.16. Final leg wave (v) ended at 80.81 which completed wave ((i)) in higher degree. Wave ((ii)) unfolded in an expanded flat structure where wave (a) ended at 83.74. Wave (b) lower ended at 80.22, and rally in wave (c) ended at 83.82 which completed wave ((ii)).
Oil has turned lower in wave ((iii)) ended at 76.40 low. The market built an expanded flat correction as wave ((iv)) finishing at 78.60 high and turned lower again. CL broke below wave ((iii)) to end wave ((v)) of 1 at 74.59 low and also we ended wave 1 of (3). Up from wave 1, the market bounce in a zig zag correction ending wave 2 at 78.88 high and starting wave 3 of (3) to the downside. After 5 swings lower, wave ((i)) of 3 completed at 71.67 low and currently we are calling 3 swings higher to end wave ((ii)) pullback before resuming lower. Therefore, we expect further downside to complete wave ((iii)) of 3. Near term, as far as pivot at 78.88 high stays intact, expect rallies to fail in 3, 7, or 11 swing for further downside.

The crash has already started. At some point everyone will start to sell thier treasury bonds, yields will go up proportionally to inflation until the dollar loses it's status as the global currency and dramatic measures are used to stop inflation resulting in stagflation and yield recovery. Else hyper inflation and the dollar is replaced entirely.
I see the momentum indicators shifting in various markets. Below is a brief summary of each, relevant indicators/markets. see charts.

Middleas I said in the previous idea, we reached our goals of $40,000-$48,000.
After that, I expected a correction, and it happened, but very quickly. We saw the level of $38,500.
We are currently trading above $52,000.
What's next?
The next range of levels I would allocate is $58,000 – $69,000.
If a correction does occur, I would look at the following support levels:
$48,000–40,000–35,000–32,000
Differentiate between rate cut and low interest rateNo important economic data from US this week, only trade balance and initial claims to observe on Tue and Thu respectively.
US stock market continued decline on Fri, following weakening labor market conditions and earnings from big tech companies last week.
In expectations of rate cut, big shots are reducing portfolios. The situation may last until we actually see the first rate cut in the cycle and longer.
The rise in stocks is usually associated with low interest rate, I would expect the adjustment in S&P to continue along the path of rate cut. So investors should differentiate between rate cut action and low interest rate, which are presented as two distinguished market conditions.
Post Halving: BTC Loves Sep and OCTBTC is currently sitting just below 61K and is not ready for the next leg up. We have been stuck in consolidation since the recent ~73K high back in March 2024 and the logarithmic weekly charts shows that BTC has been trending in this rising channel since November 2022. Judging from the previous trends seen in the past two halving events (see below) we are likely to see a massive liquidity sell off prior to the next explosive move to new all-time highs.
We can very much continue consolidating within the current ~60k – 70k range but I think we need this sell off to happen in order to go higher. Big players like banks and institutions place massive orders and trade massive positions that drive price higher. Nothing fundamentally has changed and BTC is likely to see a new all-time high, but in order for that to happen, the big players require liquidity. I think we are due for one more sell off prior to new highs and the charts point towards a likely liquidity grab at around ~52K.
At that level I expect confluence from the 50 EMA to catch up to price and for 52k support to be retested along with trend line confluence from the rising channel.
This will place us roughly around Sep/Oct and BTC loves Sep and Oct.
Best of Luck!

Update....
The resilience of Bitcoin's price amidst economic downturn and stock market crashes highlights its potential role as a hedge and store of value. However, the overall decline in price and high volatility indicate that the cryptocurrency market is not entirely insulated from broader economic trends.
Forecast: Lower prices in my humble opinion.
$Bitcoin - Road to 100kI think this is the most realistic path to 100k when taking into account liquidity / engineering liquidity.
Based on the open wick ($23,275 O - $19,520 L )/ eq lows below ($24,745 ) I think price will gravitate back to that area as a bear market accumulation area. With that in mind, If I line up the 0.75 of the fib on the low of the wick --> eq.l's (~100k - 120k top).
#Bitcoin 3 Phases Theory 🚦Today I saw a headline that surprised me "The current bear market has become the longest in the history of the crypto industry"📰
And I had a question about whether they were living in the past, or where they saw the bear market.🤔
💡I want to remind you that it ended with a duration of exactly one year, just like the last cycle. And it was much shorter than in 2014.
Now CRYPTOCAP:BTC is +70% from the bottom, this is a classic phase of accumulation.

Ethereum Keltner Channel 👀ETH reached local resistance in the form of the red zone of the channel, faster than the last cycle.
What does this tell us? The consolidation before the next move may be longer.
🤔Most will say that ETH has not reached ATH yet, so it should go up right now, I can say that ETH mostly lags in taking past highs and does it sometime after that like Bitcoin did.
💡And the phase of more active growth is at the end of the cycle, so be patient and the market will thank you with a profit.
