People can't imagine what's coming...The last time the monthly MACD for ETHBTC made a bullish cross, ETH went from around $175 to almost 5k. At that time the monthly RSI for ETHBTC was at 46. Now it is at 24 and the monthly MACD is still trending downwards but could turn anytime. Glorious times ahead! No financial advice!

Aussie Perks Up As Asia NapsAUD/USD closed last week at the highest level of 2025 and has extended the move today, pushing above the key 200-day moving average. The rally coincides with further strength in the offshore-traded Chinese yuan, which also finished last week at 2025 highs against the U.S. dollar.
While the price action is undeniably bullish—mirrored by strengthening momentum indicators—light turnover due to holidays across much of Asia warrants caution. The European open may offer a clearer read on whether this break above the 200DMA will stick.
If there’s no immediate reversal during European trade, traders may consider establishing longs with a tight stop below the 200DMA, targeting resistance near .6550. Alternatively, a move back beneath the 200DMA—echoing Friday’s reversal—could open the door for shorts, with uptrend support around .6370 and the 50DMA below that as possible downside targets.
Good luck!

Netflix is going to fall sharply soonNetflix is in the huge 5th wave extension. I expect it to complete wave (v) of 5 very soon, probably within the next week.
RSI divergence on 3-days, weekly frames is quite visible and supports the upcoming trend reversal.
When wave 5 is extended, retracement typically goes to the bottom of wave (ii) of this 5th wave. This would mean 1180-1195 USD to end the wave 5. Also, at this price wave 5 will be 2.168 times bigger than waves 1 and 3 together.
Bitcoin's Weekly MACD & RSI —Back To Basics (Part 1)We looked at Bitcoin on the weekly timeframe and mentioned the rare Michael Saylor 4 weeks green bullish signal. But what about the MACD and RSI? What are these indicators currently saying?
Let's dive deep into these two and see what we can find.
First, Bitcoin's weekly RSI.
1) Here we have first what is called a hidden bullish divergence. The RSI hit a lower low in March 2025 compared to September 2024, but Bitcoin is currently trading within a strong higher low (March/April 2025 vs September 2024). This is an interesting signal.
2) The same RSI support that was activated in September 2023 and September 2024 worked in March 2025. Once this level was activated—blue dotted line on the chart—the RSI started to move upward.
Each time this support is activated Bitcoin goes on a major bullish wave. In September 2023 Bitcoin started a major rise from 20 something toward 70K+. In September 2024 Bitcoin started a major advance from 60 something toward 110K.
3) A triple bottom. Another signal related to this same support level is a triple bottom. It was challenged three times and holds. In 2025, this support zone was pierced briefly and then the RSI started growing. This makes the reversal signal an even stronger one.
Bitcoin doubled in 2024 from this RSI support and more than triple in 2023. So this time around we can count on a double minimum but can be a triple or more. If it increases each time, first a double, then a triple and then a quadruple.
The next signal is Bitcoin's weekly RSI broken downtrend and bullish reading:
1) The downtrend has been broken on the RSI, pretty simple. Here depicted with blue lines. Needless to say, when the downtrend breaks the RSI moves up. A strong RSI is bullish for Bitcoin and this takes us to #2.
2) The RSI has a strong reading at 59. Bullish is above 50 and there is also a bullish cross, when the RSI moved above the RSI based MA (moving average).
The weekly RSI reveals Bitcoin's eternal bullish bias. Over time this indicator becomes overbought but never oversold. Interesting isn't it? It shows that market participants are ready to buy beyond what is reasonable but not willing to sell that much.
As it happened back in late September 2024, the RSI doesn't have to move straight up, there are ups and down within a rise, please keep that in mind. The RSI doesn't necessarily reflect what Bitcoin is doing or will do, it only supports a broader bias, trend or cycle, in this case the bullish case.
Next comes the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence).
This is pretty interesting as well and the first signal is a higher low in April 2025 vs September 2024, a standard bullish signal:
Revealing Bitcoin's eternal bullish bias, the MACD starts to recover without reaching the bearish zone. The bearish zone is when the MACD moves below zero, here the recovery is happening above.
The fact that the bullish cross on the MACD, when the MACD line crosses upward the signal line, is not yet in means that this bullish cycle is still early.
When the MACD line (blue) starts to curve on the weekly timeframe after making a long-term low, as it is now, the market turns bullish and there is no going back.
I will go deeper on the MACD in part 2 of this publication.
If you enjoy it and like it boost it to give me feedback. The more feedback, the deeper the next analysis will be.
Thanks a lot for reading, your support is truly appreciated.
I'll see you next time.
Namaste.
EURUSD Technical Expert Review - 3 May 2025📊 Comprehensive Analysis – Multi-Layered Setup Based on LQ Close + Classic Liquidity Manipulation
✅ 1. Proper Reaction to 8H LQ Close Zone
Price reacted accurately to the 8-hour LQ Close zone. However, the 40% level of the ATI candle remains untouched. If price revisits this area, we can expect a potential sell setup, especially if we get confirmation through structure breaks, engulfing candles, or ATI invalidation.
🧠 2. Manipulation of Classic Liquidity Patterns (Trendline, Channel, Triangle)
We see a clean sweep of all classic retail patterns – trendlines, ascending/descending channels, and triangle breakouts. These acted as liquidity traps and were perfectly manipulated, representing Phase 1 and 2 inducements, similar to concepts in ICT and Vector strategies.
📈 3. Bullish Move From 1H LQ Close to Black Trendline
From the 1H LQ Close zone, we had a bullish impulse that pushed price toward the black trendline. However, this move failed to sustain due to a sharp drop caused by news, indicating it might have been a fakeout or part of an incomplete internal structure.
⚠️ 4. Suicide Level Below = Potential for Short-Term Reaction
There’s a key “suicide level” at the bottom of the chart – a high-probability zone for a quick bullish reaction. If price shows impulsive behavior or liquidity sweeps on lower timeframes, this level could push price back up to the 1H LQ Close zone.
🔁 5. If Suicide Level Fails → Watch for 4H LQ Close Zone to Act as Reversal Point
If the suicide level doesn't hold, we shift focus to the 4H LQ Close zone, which could act as a major reversal area. Look for bullish confirmations like order blocks, strong engulfing candles, or liquidity voids forming around that area.
🎯 Final Note:
This chart is a perfect example of how LQ Close zones across multiple timeframes, paired with classic liquidity traps and smart price action confirmation, can guide high-quality setups in the Phantom Pips style.
Right now, we’re waiting for a clear reaction from either:
The 40% ATI candle zone above → Sell opportunity
The 4H LQ Close zone below → Potential buy setup
New Bitcoin ATH Incoming? Key Bullish Signals & Decoupling AnalyBitcoin at the Precipice: Analyzing the Confluence of Bullish Signals, Decoupling Dynamics, and the Looming Question of a New All-Time High
The cryptocurrency market, and Bitcoin in particular, exists in a perpetual state of flux, analysis, and fervent speculation. In recent weeks and months, a compelling narrative has begun to coalesce, woven from disparate threads of technical indicators, on-chain data, market dynamics, and historical parallels. Bitcoin, after a period of consolidation and correction, appears to be sending signals that have historically preceded significant upward movements. Analysts are pointing to specific indicators flashing green, a potential local bottom seems confirmed, and intriguing shifts are occurring in mining difficulty and Bitcoin's relationship with the wider altcoin market. All this culminates in the tantalizing question echoing across trading desks and social media: Is a new Bitcoin All-Time High (ATH) incoming, perhaps even within the next year?
This article delves deep into the multifaceted factors fueling this speculation. We will dissect the analyst flags suggesting a major rally, examine the evidence for a confirmed local bottom, explore the significant decoupling of Bitcoin from altcoins, analyze the implications of the shifting mining difficulty, evaluate the compelling comparison to Gold's historical breakout, and assess the technical picture presented by indicators like the Stochastic RSI and Taker Buy/Sell ratio. By synthesizing these elements, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the forces currently shaping Bitcoin's trajectory and the arguments underpinning the bullish outlook for a potential new ATH, possibly targeting Q2 2025.
Part 1: Reading the Tea Leaves – Indicators Flagging a Potential Rally
Experienced market analysts often rely on a combination of technical and on-chain indicators to gauge market sentiment and predict future price movements. Recently, several reports have highlighted specific indicators whose current state mirrors conditions observed just before previous major Bitcoin bull runs. While the exact proprietary indicators used by every analyst vary, common themes emerge:
• On-Chain Metrics: These look at the activity happening directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. Key metrics often cited include:
o Supply Dynamics: Tracking the amount of Bitcoin held by long-term holders versus short-term speculators. An increase in long-term holding often suggests accumulation and reduced selling pressure. Metrics like "Supply Last Active 1+ Years Ago" reaching high levels can indicate strong conviction among holders.
o Network Activity: While not always a direct price predictor, sustained growth in active addresses or transaction counts can signal underlying adoption and utility growth.
o Profit/Loss Indicators: Metrics like Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) or Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) help gauge whether the market is overheated or potentially finding a bottom. A shift from capitulation (heavy losses) towards profitability can be a bullish sign.
• Technical Indicators: These are derived from price and volume data.
o Moving Averages: Crossovers of key moving averages (e.g., the 50-day moving average crossing above the 200-day moving average, known as a "Golden Cross") are classic bullish signals for many traders. The positioning of price relative to these averages is also crucial.
o Momentum Oscillators: Indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) measure the speed and change of price movements. Emerging from oversold conditions or showing bullish divergences can signal strengthening momentum.
• Market Sentiment Indicators: While harder to quantify, tools analyzing social media sentiment, futures market positioning (funding rates, open interest), and options market data (put/call ratios) can provide clues about the prevailing mood among traders.
The core argument presented by analysts is that a confluence of these diverse indicators, many of which have strong historical track records in predicting Bitcoin rallies, are simultaneously aligning in a bullish formation. It's not just one signal, but a pattern across multiple datasets suggesting that the groundwork for a significant upward move is being laid. This historical resonance provides a powerful argument for those anticipating a break towards previous highs.
Part 2: The Confirmed Local Bottom – Building a Foundation for Growth?
Complementing the forward-looking indicators is the assertion that Bitcoin has successfully established a "local bottom." This implies that a recent period of price decline has concluded, and a new support level has been found from which price can potentially rebound. Confirmation of a bottom is often a multi-step process:
1. Price Action: A clear cessation of the downtrend, often marked by a specific low point that holds despite retests. This might involve candlestick patterns indicating reversal (like hammers or engulfing patterns) or the formation of a sideways consolidation range after a fall.
2. Volume: Capitulation volume (a spike in selling volume near the low) followed by declining volume during consolidation, and then potentially increasing volume on upward moves, can support the idea of a bottom.
3. Indicator Confirmation: Technical indicators like the RSI moving out of oversold territory (<30) or MACD showing a bullish crossover below the zero line often accompany bottom formations.
4. Holding Key Support: The price successfully defending a significant historical support level or a key Fibonacci retracement level adds weight to the bottoming argument.
The claim that "all indicators flash bullish" in conjunction with a confirmed local bottom suggests a powerful technical setup. It implies that the selling pressure that drove the price down has exhausted itself, buyers are stepping back in at these levels, and multiple technical measures are signaling renewed upward momentum. Establishing a firm bottom is crucial; without it, any rally attempt could be short-lived. This confirmed base provides psychological reassurance to bulls and a defined level for risk management (placing stop-losses below the confirmed low). The question then shifts from "Will it stop falling?" to "Where is the price headed next?"
Part 3: The Great Crypto Decoupling – Bitcoin Forges Its Own Path
One of the most significant market structure shifts observed over the past year is the growing divergence between Bitcoin and the broader altcoin market. Historically, Bitcoin often acted as the tide lifting all crypto boats; when Bitcoin rallied, altcoins typically followed, often with even greater percentage gains (and vice-versa). However, recent data points to a stark change:
• Record Market Cap Gap: The difference in total market capitalization between Bitcoin and the entire altcoin sector has reportedly reached its largest point ever. This signifies that capital inflows are disproportionately favoring Bitcoin.
• Performance Divergence: While Bitcoin has made significant strides, reclaiming substantial portions of its previous losses and challenging key resistance levels, many altcoins have lagged considerably. Some have even continued to trend downwards relative to both the US Dollar and Bitcoin itself.
• Shift from Tandem Movement: The lockstep correlation that characterized previous cycles appears broken, or at least significantly weakened. Bitcoin is charting a course influenced more by its own specific drivers than by the general sentiment across the entire crypto asset class.
•
Several factors likely contribute to this decoupling:
• Institutional Adoption & ETFs: The launch and success of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US (and similar products elsewhere) have provided a regulated, accessible channel for institutional capital to flow directly into Bitcoin. This capital is often focused solely on Bitcoin as a digital store of value or portfolio diversifier, largely ignoring the more speculative altcoin market.
• Narrative Strength: Bitcoin's core narrative as "digital gold" – a decentralized, scarce, censorship-resistant store of value – has gained traction, particularly in environments of macroeconomic uncertainty or inflation concerns. This narrative is unique to Bitcoin and doesn't necessarily extend to most altcoins, which often have different value propositions (utility tokens, DeFi platforms, etc.).
• Regulatory Clarity (Relative): While regulatory landscapes are still evolving globally, Bitcoin generally enjoys a greater degree of regulatory clarity (often classified as a commodity in key jurisdictions like the US) compared to many altcoins, which face ongoing scrutiny regarding their potential classification as securities. This perceived lower regulatory risk can make Bitcoin more attractive to cautious investors.
• Flight to Quality: During periods of market uncertainty or following negative events within the broader crypto space (like exchange collapses or protocol exploits), investors may rotate capital from riskier altcoins into the perceived safety and established network effect of Bitcoin.
•
This decoupling has profound implications. For investors, it means diversification within the crypto space is becoming more complex; owning altcoins is no longer a guaranteed way to amplify Bitcoin's gains. For Bitcoin, it suggests a maturation of its asset class status, attracting capital based on its unique properties rather than just general crypto market sentiment. This potentially makes Bitcoin's price action more robust and less susceptible to negative developments in obscure corners of the altcoin market.
Part 4: Mining Difficulty Adjustment – A Breather for the Network's Backbone
The Bitcoin network's health and security rely on miners who dedicate vast computational power to validating transactions and adding new blocks to the blockchain. The "Difficulty" is a crucial network parameter that automatically adjusts roughly every two weeks (every 2016 blocks) to ensure that new blocks are found, on average, every 10 minutes, regardless of how much total mining power (hash rate) is connected to the network.
• How it Works: If blocks are being found too quickly (more hash rate online), the difficulty increases, making it harder to find the next block. If blocks are being found too slowly (hash rate has dropped), the difficulty decreases, making it easier.
• Recent Trend: The report notes that difficulty had increased in the four previous adjustments, indicating a sustained rise in the total hash rate competing on the network.
• Expected Drop: Now, on-chain data forecasts an almost 5% drop in difficulty for the upcoming adjustment. This implies that a noticeable amount of hash rate has recently come offline.
•
Why might hash rate decrease, leading to a difficulty drop?
• Profitability Squeeze: Mining profitability is determined by the price of Bitcoin, the miner's electricity costs, the efficiency of their mining hardware (ASICs), and the current network difficulty. If Bitcoin's price stagnates or drops while difficulty remains high (or energy costs rise), less efficient miners or those with higher operating costs may become unprofitable and shut down their rigs.
• Hardware Cycles: Older generation ASICs become obsolete as newer, more efficient models are released. A difficulty drop might reflect a temporary lull before newer hardware is fully deployed or older hardware being permanently retired.
• External Factors: Regional energy price fluctuations, regulatory changes affecting mining operations in certain areas, or even extreme weather events impacting large mining facilities can temporarily reduce the global hash rate.
What are the implications of a difficulty drop?
• A Break for Miners: For the remaining miners, a lower difficulty means they have a slightly higher chance of finding the next block with the same amount of hash power. This can improve their profitability, potentially reducing the need for them to sell mined Bitcoin immediately to cover operational expenses. Reduced selling pressure from miners is generally considered a positive market factor.
• Network Self-Regulation: It demonstrates the robustness of Bitcoin's design – the network automatically adjusts to maintain its target block time, ensuring consistent transaction processing regardless of fluctuations in mining participation.
• Not Necessarily Bearish: While a significant drop could signal miner capitulation in a deep bear market, a moderate drop after a period of sustained increases might simply be a healthy cooldown or consolidation phase in hash rate growth, allowing the ecosystem to adjust.
This expected difficulty drop, therefore, provides a welcome respite for miners, potentially easing selling pressure and showcasing the network's adaptive capabilities.
Part 5: Technical Signals and Historical Echoes – Stochastic RSI, Taker Ratio, and the Gold Fractal
Beyond the broader indicators and market dynamics, specific technical signals and historical chart patterns are adding fuel to the bullish fire:
• Bitcoin Stochastic RSI: The Stochastic RSI is a momentum indicator that uses RSI values (rather than price) within a stochastic oscillator formula. It ranges between 0 and 100 and is used to identify overbought and oversold conditions, but often more effectively in identifying strengthening momentum. A signal suggesting "brewing bullish momentum" likely means the Stochastic RSI is rising from oversold levels or showing a bullish crossover, indicating that underlying momentum (as measured by RSI) is accelerating upwards. Such signals often precede periods of strong price appreciation.
• Taker Buy/Sell Ratio (Binance): This ratio measures the aggression of buyers versus sellers executing market orders (takers) on a specific exchange (in this case, Binance, a major hub for crypto trading). A "sharp increase" in the Taker Buy Ratio (or Buy/Sell Ratio) signifies that buyers are aggressively hitting the ask price to acquire Bitcoin, willing to pay the market price rather than waiting for their limit orders to be filled. This indicates strong immediate demand and buying pressure, often interpreted as a bullish signal suggesting conviction among buyers.
• Bitcoin Mirroring Gold's Breakout Structure: This is a fascinating observation based on fractal analysis – the idea that chart patterns can repeat themselves across different time scales and different assets. The claim is that Bitcoin's current price structure (consolidation patterns, corrections, subsequent recovery) closely resembles the structure Gold exhibited before one of its major historical breakouts. If this fractal pattern holds true, it suggests Bitcoin might be in the final stages of consolidation before a significant upward move, mirroring Gold's past trajectory. This analysis leads to the specific, albeit highly speculative, prediction of a potential new ATH occurring in Q2 2025. While historical parallels are not guarantees, they provide a compelling narrative and roadmap for traders looking for historical context.
• Sandwiched Between Support & Resistance: This describes the immediate technical battleground. Bitcoin's price is currently caught in a range defined by a significant support level below (a price floor where buying interest has previously emerged) and a major resistance level above (a price ceiling where selling pressure has previously intensified). The outcome of this battle is critical. Can the bulls, bolstered by the positive indicators and dynamics discussed, muster enough strength to break decisively above resistance? Or will the bears successfully defend that level, potentially leading to another rejection or further consolidation? This price zone represents the current line in the sand.
Part 6: Synthesis and Outlook – Weighing the Evidence for a New ATH
Synthesizing these diverse factors paints a complex but potentially bullish picture for Bitcoin:
• The Bullish Case: Multiple historically reliable indicators are signaling conditions that preceded past rallies. A local bottom appears confirmed, providing a stable base. Bitcoin is increasingly decoupling from the riskier altcoin market, potentially attracting more focused institutional capital via ETFs. A looming drop in mining difficulty could ease selling pressure from miners. Specific technical indicators like the Stochastic RSI and Taker Buy/Sell Ratio point towards growing buying momentum and aggression. Furthermore, a compelling (though speculative) historical parallel with Gold's breakout structure offers a potential roadmap towards a new ATH, perhaps by Q2 2025.
• The Hurdles and Risks: Despite the bullish signals, significant resistance levels lie ahead, representing areas where sellers have previously overwhelmed buyers. Macroeconomic uncertainty (inflation, interest rates, geopolitical events) can always impact risk assets like Bitcoin. Regulatory developments, while potentially clarifying for Bitcoin, remain a source of potential volatility. The crypto market is inherently volatile, and unforeseen events ("black swans") can rapidly alter market sentiment. The Gold fractal is a historical observation, not a guarantee.
Conclusion:
Bitcoin currently stands at a fascinating juncture. The confluence of bullish indicators flagged by analysts, the apparent confirmation of a local bottom, the significant decoupling from altcoins driven partly by institutional flows, the potential easing of pressure on miners via a difficulty drop, and specific technical signals like the Stochastic RSI and Taker Buy Ratio collectively build a strong case for optimism. The comparison to Gold's historical breakout adds another layer of intrigue, offering a specific (though speculative) timeline for a potential new All-Time High.
However, optimism must be tempered with caution. Major resistance levels loom large, representing the immediate challenge for bulls. The broader macroeconomic and regulatory environments remain key variables. While the indicators suggest brewing momentum and historical patterns offer encouraging parallels, breaking through established resistance and embarking on a sustained rally towards a new ATH is never a certainty in the volatile world of cryptocurrency.
The coming weeks and months will be crucial in determining whether the bullish signals translate into decisive price action. Can the bulls overcome the resistance that currently sandwiches the price? Will the decoupling trend continue to funnel capital into Bitcoin? Will the mining landscape stabilize favorably? The answers to these questions will likely determine if the whispers of an incoming ATH, potentially mirroring Gold's path towards Q2 2025, become a roar or fade back into the market noise. The stage seems set, the indicators are aligning, but the final act is yet to be written.
DXY Technical Expert Review - 3 May 2025Weekly Price Reaction Expectations:
Overall, for this week, we expect a price reaction around the ATI candle zone, followed by another potential reaction near the upper LQCLOSE BOX area.
DXY Bullish Momentum Justification:
Additionally, since the LPP or investment liquidity has been consumed, the bullish momentum in DXY appears more justified.
PZZA Wave Analysis – 2 May 2025- PZZA reversed from the support zone
- Likely to rise to resistance level 40.00
PZZA recently reversed from the support zone between the long-term support level 30.00 (which started the sharp weekly uptrend at the start of 2020) and the lower weekly Bollinger Band.
The upward reversal from this support zone stopped the previous intermediate impulse wave (5) from the end of 2024.
Given the strength of the support level 30.00 and the oversold weekly Stochastic, PZZA can be expected to rise to the next round resistance level 40.00.
Starbucks Wave Analysis – 2 May 2025
- Starbucks reversed from support zone
- Likely to rise to resistance levels 85.00 and 90.00
Starbucks recently reversed up from the support zone between the key support level 76.20 (which stopped the previous wave A at the start of April) and the lower daily Bollinger Band.
The upward reversal from this support zone stopped the C-wave of the previous intermediate ABC correction (2) from the start of March.
Given the strength of the support level 76.20 and the bullish divergence on the daily Stochastic, Starbucks can be expected to rise to the next resistance levels 85.00 and 90.00.
Nvidia May Be Fighting HigherNvidia has been rebounding along with the broader market, and some traders may think it’s getting ready to accelerate.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the April 9 high of $115.10. The chip giant has challenged that level in the last two sessions. A close above that resistance may be viewed as confirmation of a breakout.
Second is the series of lower highs since mid-February. NVDA closed above that falling trendline yesterday and remains above it today.
Third, MACD has turned higher.
Finally, NVDA is a highly active underlier in the options market. (It averages 3.9 million contracts per day ranks first in the S&P 500, according to TradeStation data.) That could help traders take positions with calls and puts.

Bitcoin Terminal Price Risk IndicatorToday we’ll explore the Bitcoin Terminal Price Risk Indicator , which builds on the concept of Bitcoin Terminal Price. We’ll follow the same logic as in our previous idea on the Pi Cycle Top Risk Indicator. By the end, we'll have a new tool for analyzing INDEX:BTCUSD market cycles.
First, let’s recap Terminal Price.
Terminal Price = Transferred Price × 21
Transferred Price = Coin Days Destroyed ÷ (supply × time)
It normalizes historical spending behavior to the full 21M BTC supply. This metric has historically been effective at calling Bitcoin cycle tops whenever the price of Bitcoin crosses above it. That being said, it signaled the April 2021 peak, but not the November one.
Let’s now divide the weekly BTC price by Terminal Price. This gives us BTC-to-Terminal Price Ratio. (We use the formula from the Bitcoin Master Cycle indicator by InvestorUnknown for Terminal Price on TradingView.)
When the ratio crosses above 1, BTC price exceeds Terminal Price and signals cycle top. We can notice that each cycle top forms slightly lower ratio peaks.
Now let’s draw two logarithmic curves through the highs and lows of this ratio, and add a midline.
This creates a band within which the BTC-to-Terminal Price ratio tends to oscillate. These bounds can help anticipate major turning points in future market cycles.
Next, we normalize the ratio between these bounds: bottom curve = 0, top curve = 1.
This gives us the Bitcoin Terminal Price Risk Indicator.
Currently, risk sits around 0.46 , bouncing between 0.3 and 0.6 for ~1.5 years. This range suggests a stepwise price increase with consolidation periods in between — and no mania and blow-off top.
Historically:
Risk > 0.9 = potential selling zone
Risk < 0.1 (or < 0.05) = potential buying zone
Note: Risk stays > 0.9 for just 1–2 weeks.
Reality check: the top curve lies above 1 and slopes down only slightly.
This implies that if the ratio approaches the upper boundary, BTC price could meet or exceed Terminal Price this cycle — currently ~$155K and will be rising quickly should BTC move towards it.
However, so far we have very few data points and they don’t fit the curve perfectly. And there’s no guarantee we’ll reach that upper bound.
For a more conservative take, we can replace the log curve with straight lines.
This steeper upper line would signal a top earlier — below Terminal Price.
Using this method, risk is slightly higher now at 0.55. While also not perfect, this linear approximation can serve as a cautious alternative until more data points emerge.
We'll keep tracking these charts.
AMKTcryptomarket | JTOUSDTHello to all AMKT friends, I hope you are well. 😍
Today we will review the JTO token.
In the monthly and weekly timeframes, this token is in a range (minor trend) after the sharp rise, and the failure of this range box along with the increase in volume can cause amazing growth of this token.
In the daily timeframe, we are involved in the white dynamic resistance level, and in the four-hour timeframe, we can enter a long position after the failure and consolidation above 1.899 and the dynamic level. For further confirmation, we can wait for an increase in volume or a break of 60.08 in RSI
Have a good day
WTI: Break It or Bounce ItIf other cyclical asset classes are rallying like a global recession can be avoided, then why shouldn’t crude oil? Yes, there are reports OPEC+ may increase output again, and we know Donald Trump wants lower prices, but those factors should already be priced in. The true swing factor is demand—and if it’s not about to fall in a heap, why should crude?
We’ve now seen three violent rallies from beneath $57.30, including when the level was established in early 2021. If price were to return to those levels in the near-term, it could offer a decent swing trade. Longs could be established above with a stop beneath for protection, targeting a run back to $60.45, a minor level that acted as both support and resistance in April. If that were to give way, a move towards key resistance at $65.27 could follow.
Another option would be to wait for a sustained push above $60.45, allowing longs to be established on the break with a stop beneath, targeting $65.27. Of the two setups, this one screens as higher risk given how lightly $60.45 has been tested.
Momentum remains with the bears, which normally favours selling rips over buying dips. But in these headline-driven markets, that signal may not carry its usual weight. For what it’s worth, downside momentum is easing for now.
A close beneath $57.30 would invalidate the countertrend bullish setup.
Good luck!

Deutsche Bank AG to 21 EuroDespite the chaos with Credit Suisse European banks in General are printing some excellent setups. What is the reason for this? No idea.
On the above 2-month chart:
1) A strong buy signal (not shown) prints with price action breakout from resistance that has been active since 2007.
2) Regular bullish divergence. No less than eight oscillators this time. Four to five oscillators printing on this time frame is incredibly powerful but eight?!
3) Inverse head and shoulders pattern. Confirmation is price action closing above 10.50 and staying there or above for a week or two. On confirmation a target of 21 euro should be expected.
4) The yellow line is the 21/2-month EMA. Notice the first attempt to hold as support has failed? (Orange arrow). This was the first attempt to hold as support since July 2005. Confirmation of support is price action at 10.50 and above by the month of May.
5) Almost EVERY idea on tradingview is 'short' / Bearish! Ww is the 5%. What in?
Is it possible price action falls further? Sure.
Is it probable? No.
