Is Bitcoin's $BTC four-year cycle failing? As we all know, Bitcoin has always exhibited a cyclical pattern of "four years of bull and bear markets" since its inception (see the upper part of Figure 1), but this time it seems to be changing.
The lower part of Figure 1 shows the sentiment indicator NUPL, reflecting the current price compared to the on-chain holding cost.
Value < 0 = Panic (Green)
Value > 0.75 = Greed (Purple)
Considering "cycle + sentiment", there are a few points worth noting: 🏷️If the old cycle is still valid, we should be approaching the top now, with the next emotional low expected in the second half of 2026;
However, this round of trends has shown abnormalities: 🏷️In the past, each bull market roughly experienced 700–900 days from low to high, but this time it has exceeded 900 days since December 2023; 🏷️More importantly, the sentiment indicator has never touched the greed area (0.75), and this year's highest has not exceeded 0.65, remaining in a moderate range.
$ETH Ezi is feeling better, but I have also become smarter. I use one third of my position for swing trading, and when it rises quickly, I sell one third; when it drops, I buy back. Every upward movement of Ezi will have a big pullback. Of course, this risk involves missing out on one third of the position during the acceleration phase.
Good morning~ There is no value in going long on Bitcoin and Ethereum at this position, in my opinion, it's just a matter of when it will start to fall. When there is no obvious weakening, one can gradually buy PUT options for the end of this month and next month. From the perspective of Bitcoin, it shouldn't take too long, at most about a week, before a significant topping pattern appears. Looking at it from a smaller scale, Bitcoin might still rise by around two thousand USD, and opening a short position in futures contracts backed by 100,000 also has a good risk-reward ratio. The subsequent pullback can be of two types, if it's relatively strong, it will stop falling at 86,000+. $BTC $ETH
If there is a black swan, the probability of it occurring this month is the highest. If it occurs, ETH could reach just over 1200, BNB around 400, and BTC over 60000 $ETH
I lost money on short orders last night, but the options did not move. I took back some short orders this afternoon (not too many positions), but I am still bearish. $ETH
Recently saw Bitcoin $BTC rebound so it's probably safe to short in succession~ Of course, you can also choose to short $ETH , which is weaker. The final target is around 1300, as shown in image two: the first support below $ETH is around 1550-1600, which may have a rebound before heading towards 1300.
Pnut, don't say it, there might be an explosive spicy situation. Observe this slight pullback here. The time might be around 12 o'clock. If it moves similarly to the yellow line, you can add a little position at the red arrow. After adding, immediately set a stop loss.
(Just completed a pullback, it's best not to break the recent low again) $PNUT
