Introduction
Our previous report outlined how the current market is following the 2014-2018 cycle the closest. The chart below illustrates this to a tee, we can see that we are following a very similar cycle and if this theory were to play out we should get confirmation in the next week or so. The chart below overlays the 2014-2018 cycle with our current cycle, and you can see we are quickly approaching an inflection point. If we continue to mimic the 2017 cycle, we could see confirmation of alt season as soon as this week and by September 3rd at the latest.
Take another look at the chart above, and zoom in specifically on the October 11th, 2023 dotted line. You will notice that altcoins broke out a mere few days after and using this fractal has been one of the most lucrative insights for me personally in this cycle so far from a timing perspective. This fractal personally helped me nail the bottom back in early Oct 2023 when I bought $Fet for .22 and $Inj for $7. If history rhymes then we may be able to use this same fractal to forecast when altcoins could start another parabolic rise.
Now, let’s shift our attention to the chart below that is zoomed in on Bitcoin’s current price action in relation to 2017 right before we got that parabolic rise that sent the whole market soaring. This is the inflection point that we are referencing, you can see that we even had confluence with this fractal on the most recent 33% drawdown that happened earlier this month (Aug 5th). Yet again another data point to validate the idea that we are indeed following the 2014-2018 cycle the closest. So will it continue? It has been for over 1220 days, but what historical indicators could we look for that may give us an even higher degree of conviction that we are indeed on the precipice of ‘risk on’ and therefore alt season as soon as this week..
Could the answer lie within the Dino coins, coins like XRP (Ripple), ADA (Cardano)?
Will these coins start to wake up and show the markets hand? Historically this has been the case, especially in the lead-up to the 2017 altcoin rally.
