$BTC August 14–16.



Price pushed lower into the same time pivot as the 2018 bear market.

Price has been following these time pivots closely. If the correlation continues, price could push higher into early September.

I'm remaining cautious, as price front-ran the 60–62K level I was targeting, which is a major liquidity cluster.

From mid-August to early September, the trend looks fairly consistent, but I’m worried about a sudden black swan in between—after all, this market has never played fair.

If there really is a huge cluster of stop-loss orders around 60 to 62, then after liquidating the longs, it would go on to liquidate the shorts—wouldn’t these back-and-forth wicks wipe people out?

I don’t understand these technical analyses, but saying it’s the same point in time as the 2018 bear market somehow makes history feel like it’s repeating itself. BTC’s script is pretty much the same every time.

The time-pivot theory does seem rather mystical, but it also makes some sense when compared with the 2018 trend. Let’s wait and see for now.

You mentioned that the price front-ran the 60–62k range I originally expected. This early move has indeed made me hesitant to chase longs, so I’ll wait for a pullback confirmation before deciding.

How many times have you backtested this time pivot? If the sample size is sufficient, it is indeed worth considering, but I still think price action is more important than time.

Actually, liquidity clusters are the key, right? The price running ahead shows that big money had already positioned itself, while retail investors can only follow along and take the leftovers.

Being cautious is not wrong. If it can really continue rising before September, the value of this time-pivot theory will keep increasing, but don’t take too large a position.
