a weekly candle close below $67.5k would flash the black signal.
10Y-2Y Yield Spread is well above zero
market top before recession to be expected within 3 months
The market has consolidated this week following a significant dip last week. From an Elliott Wave perspective, this represents a clean orange subwave 4, within wave iii, within blue wave ⑤. A slightly lower price level at the end of the year is normal, as many investors trade based on that timeframe. It’s also beneficial for tax purposes in countries like The Netherlands, where the value of your portfolio is assessed as of January 1st. The price is setting up for the orange wave 5, completing wave iii. Once it prints an ATH, Bitcoin is primed to soar to $170k, followed by a dip to the lower Fibonacci level around $130k, and finally, a blow-off to the sell line at approximately $250k–$300k - at least that’s my expectation as off today.
Risk-On Warning: First Blow-Off incoming!
UPDATE: Major indicators are lining up in a pre-recession formation. The 10Y-2Y Yield spread has maintained its position above the 0 level after spending for 2 years below the zero line. Historically, a recession within 6-7 months after the reversal is to be expected. As the reversal happened in August 2024, the timeframe has now shrunk to within the next 2-3 months.
Sounds bad, but history shows also that the reversal ignited a final rally first. That’s what we are witnessing at the moment.
Accumulation / Re-Accumulation / Distribution
Bitcoin is blowing off as expected. Once the market tops after breaking out of the Re-Accumulation zone, a Distribution phase is to be expected, where late-party speculators are flipping coins with long-term holding sellers.
