[ TimeLine ] Gold 4-5 February 2025Hello everyone, I will be using the high and low price levels formed on the following dates as entry points for my trades: February 4-5, 2025 and/or February 5, 2025 We will wait for the price range from these candles to form. The trade entry will be triggered if the price breaks out of this range, with an additional buffer of 40-50 pips. If the price moves against the initial position and hits the stop loss (SL), we will cut or switch the trade accordingly.

Altcoin Season - 2017 vs 2021 vs 2025OTHERS/BTC is a good barometer for "Altcoin Season" OTHERS charts the total market cap of every crypto excluding the Top 10 by market cap tokens BTC is charting BTC by market cap It's obvious we are in 4 year cycles, and obvious this season starts after BTC breaks all-time high. The idea is simple - BTC breaking all-time high increases awareness from the public. People then enter into BTC. After they enter into BTC, they look further down the risk curve (altcoins). 2017, then 2021, now 2025. The "Altcoin Season" typically lasts for ~1 year. Everyone in the crypto world is freaking out right now, calling for the cycle to be over with and that "altcoins are dead" --- this happens at this point every cycle. If you have been here for 8+ years, you will notice the same pattern repeating in people's emotions/psychology. Steady Lads, "Altcoin Season" is coming soon. - CURB (@CryptoCurb)

Alt season could already be here, only is winter seasonThe Crypto Market at a Crossroads: What’s Could Next for Bitcoin and Altcoins? The cryptocurrency market is at a critical juncture, and the narratives being pushed by crypto influencers might not be telling the full story. Over the next weeks and months, the altcoin landscape could undergo significant changes, and there are signals emerging that few are discussing. In this post, I’ll analyze Bitcoin, altcoins, and Bitcoin dominance and what I expect in the coming months. Bitcoin’s Current Position: Are We Near the Top? When analyzing Bitcoin, it’s crucial to zoom out and assess the bigger picture. On a weekly chart, Bitcoin’s price action suggests that we might be nearing a top. While some argue that the peak has already occurred, the current structure indicates that Bitcoin could enter a sideways/ downward movement like we saw last year. If Bitcoin continues to move sideways, altcoins are likely to follow suit. However, during these phases, some altcoins may experience brief runs, especially if Bitcoin dominance starts to decline. But here’s the catch: Bitcoin dominance has been steadily rising since Bitcoin’s bottom, which is unusual. Typically, during the late stages of a cycle, Bitcoin dominance drops as altcoins surge. This time, however, the landscape seems different. Altcoin Season: A Muted Rally? The idea of a massive altcoin season, where all altcoins surge simultaneously, might be a thing of the past. While some coins like BINANCE:SOLUSDT have already seen significant runs (from nearly $80 to $300 top in one year), the broader altcoin market has not experienced the same explosive growth. Instead, only a select few altcoins made significant moves. This doesn’t mean that altcoins are dead. There will still be opportunities, but they will likely be more selective. Coins that have already made substantial gains, like Solana, may have already topped out. Going forward the key should be to focus on coins that show strong volume breakouts and price action, rather than holding onto underperforming assets. Bitcoin Dominance and the Changing Landscape Bitcoin dominance has been on an upward trajectory, which is unusual for this stage of the cycle. Historically, Bitcoin dominance falls as altcoins begin to rally. However, this time, the dominance chart suggests that the market dynamics are shifting. While a drop in Bitcoin dominance is still possible, it may not be as pronounced as in previous cycles. This changing landscape could be due to the sheer number of altcoins in the market. With thousands of coins vying for attention, there simply isn’t enough liquidity to pump all of them. This dilution effect means that only a handful of coins will likely see significant gains, while the majority will continue to underperform. The Role of Meme Coins and Newer Projects One of the standout trends in this cycle has been the rise of meme coins and newer projects. Coins like BINANCE:SUIUSDT , which launched during this cycle, have already broken their all-time highs. However, even these newer coins may be entering a bear market phase. The market is saturated, and without a significant influx of liquidity, it’s unlikely that we’ll see another massive altcoin season. Meme coins, in particular, have been a double-edged sword. While they’ve provided some of the most explosive gains, they’ve also drained liquidity from the broader market. This extraction of value has made it harder for other altcoins to gain traction, further complicating the market dynamics. The Bigger Picture: A Potential Bear Market Looking at the broader market, there’s a growing possibility that we could be entering a bear market. The sheer number of coins in the market, combined with the lack of liquidity, suggests that the crypto space is due for a significant shakeout. Coins like BINANCE:DOTUSD , CAPITALCOM:FILUSD and even BINANCE:ADAUSDT , which have been in a bear market since 2021, are a prime example of this trend. Many altcoins are already down 80-90% from their all-time highs, and the chances of them recovering are slim. This is why it’s crucial to focus on coins that have already established a bull trend and are hovering around their support zones, as they have a higher probability of breaking out and continuing their upward trajectory. Key Takeaways and What to Watch For 1. Bitcoin’s Sideways Movement: Bitcoin is likely to move sideways or slightly downward in the coming weeks, which could create opportunities for select altcoins. 2. Selective Altcoin Runs: Not all altcoins will rally. Focus on coins with strong volume breakouts and price action. 3. Bitcoin Dominance: Keep an eye on Bitcoin dominance. A drop could signal a brief altcoin rally, but it may not be as significant as in previous cycles. 4. Meme Coins and Newer Projects: While meme coins and newer projects have seen gains, they may be entering a bear market phase. Be cautious with these assets. 5. Long-Term Bear Market : The crypto market could be entering a bear market. Focus on preserving capital and avoid holding onto underperforming assets. Final Thoughts: The crypto market is at a crossroads, and the next few months could be pivotal. While there will still be opportunities, they will likely be more selective and harder to come by. By focusing on strong projects with solid fundamentals and avoiding the hype, you can navigate this changing landscape more effectively. Remember, the key to success in crypto is not just about making money—it’s also about avoiding losses. Best of Luck! Mihai Iacob

NVIDIA: Fib Fractal MappingConsidering all those observed fractal patterns from: A fractal to narrow in would be: Let's unfold: This means we have identified scalable structural basis. Fibonacci Mapping Validation of Metrics via Resonation: Validation of Fibonacci channel tilt: Fractals of Previous Cycle: Scalable Fractals: Fractal patterns are approximations and are not solely about predicting price movements on the Y-axis; they also encompass the frequency of reversals on the X-axis. The timing of smaller cycles, which serve as the building blocks of these patterns, holds greater significance than the overall composite price changes.

BTCUSD: Short for Delta-Neutrality after buying Spot @ Range-LowLike i mentioned in my previous analysis, BTCUSD is in a range and it might be ignored by the majority that there's no clear knowledge of the range spread. Noone knows, me included. I just stick to my plan. Check my previous analysis if you want to know the reasons for this idea. Now it's more concrete and it's still worth a try, but if you are a retail trader, you should ignore it because of the leverage being used as well as the lack of experience with delta-neutral trading. Also it is completely different from a typical HODL- or DCA-strategy. Trend-Followers and Breakout-Traders in general should wait for a more directional BIAS elsewhere because my analysis and trade idea results in a non-directional BIAS.

Long Idea on CC1! (Cocoa)1)Climate change is having a significant impact on cocoa production in West and Central Africa, according to a study by Wageningen University & Research (WUR). The region accounts for more than 70% of global cocoa production. Changes in temperature and rainfall are making some areas less suitable for cocoa cultivation. 2) Seasonality gives us a bullish pattern which is 98% correlated with the actual price 3)quantitative data shows 80% win rate with a good profit factor 4) The price rejected the 50 EMA forming a Pin Bar Candlestick pattern 5) The price also bounced on a demand zone 6) Price is undervalued against several benchmarks

Sell Bitcoin and Altcoins during 2025 and don't look back!Hello Everyone, This is my first public post since the last one, which I published on Sep 28, 2022, and you can see that here: My cycle analysis (TA) proved spot-on the last time I accurately predicted Bitcoin’s behavior. To avoid overcomplicating things, I’ll keep this brief. As the yearly chart indicates, we’ve seen a consistent pattern: a three-year bull market followed by a one-year bear market. History appears poised to repeat itself, and we’re now entering the final phase of the current bullish cycle. This year will likely be your last opportunity to exit the crypto market strategically, as historical fractals suggest a bearish downturn is due next year.
