$BTC /M1 [2W]
4 attempts to break the 2017 top
4 successful tests as support 🔵
1 break of 2025 downtrend
Despite expanding M1, BTC keeps holding strong.
Exactly what it was designed to do.
Decentralized hedge works > more (institutional) demand > 🧨

Treating U.S. policy as the decisive arbiter of a decentralized counter-institutional financial instrument is a category error.
It’s roughly like asking the gasoline industry to settle the question of electrification.
We don’t need institutions to make crypto work. Institutions increasingly need crypto to remain relevant.

The case for a 25bp Fed hike is getting stronger.
Core CPI accelerated to 0.3% MoM vs 0.2% expected — inflation isn’t cooling fast enough.
Meanwhile, the economy isn’t asking for cuts:
📈 Payrolls +162K vs +56K expected
💼 Unemployment 4.1% (steady)
🏭 ISM Services 55.4 (economy expands strongly)
Sticky inflation + resilient growth = room to tighten.
Much of the inflation pressure is energy-driven. 🛢️
That makes geopolitics the big swing factor: solving the Hormuz problem could ease this oil-induced inflation.

bitcoin:native [2W] needs to reclaim $82.8K to print a new HH and confirm the C-leg of this Expanding Flat.
The 3rd wave was already extended, which dramatically increases the odds of a powerful, clean and impulsive 5th wave 🚀

#DXY [2W] is hanging and has closed below the 2025 uptrend. After 4-5 rejections at the 100 level, chart and time are more than ready for final breakdown 📉

$ETH [2W] has printed a higher high on the lower timeframe, breaking the 1-year downtrend. Holidays are over, waiting for ignition and full send.

Altcoin market cap has printed its first higher high since the ATH.l - Breaking the 1-year downtrend from Aug 2025.
$BTC needs to break $82.8K to do the same.
If it does, market structure flips.🧨

ALTCAP [2W] - Is bouncing from the bottom of the 2-year (!🥱) sideways range/handle.
A 2017 type of blow-off is still to be expected. Structure remained fully intact during cascade of retests.

$BTC is mimicking the breakout above the red horizontal resistance from the 2022 bear trap bottom (❌) at the lower trendline of a megaphone structure.
Both megaphones target the $300k-$350k zone.

$ETH continues to hold up very strong.
If bitcoin:native finally enters its blow-off phase toward ±$450K, I expect $ETH to reach the orange box.
From an Elliott Wave perspective, that would complete the expanding wedge with an impulsive C-wave.
Counterintuitive but interesting.

Bitcoin Dominance has been going sideways for over a year since breaking its uptrend in 2025.
Time alone doesn’t change structure or targets.

$ETH continues to respect the Expanding Diagonal - targeting the $12K–$20K orange box . 🟧
Nothing has changed: the cycle points to one final parabolic advance before the true bear market unfolds.

$BTC [1M] is printing a third bear trap at the lower trend line of the rising channel since 2018 bear market bottom.
Blow-off wave (5) of ⑤ remains the primary anticipation, as long as price does not drop below ~$31k.
Target wave (5) has risen over time, currently at ~$400k.

Inflation is cooling way faster than expected. Fed policy seems too restrictive at the moment.
📉CPI surprised to the downside.
📉PPI turned strongly negative.
The implications are straightforward:
↓ Inflation
↓ Fed Rate
↓ USD
↑ Global liquidity
↑ Bitcoin/Risk-on
