Bitcoin continues to respect the roadmap.
Price remains below key resistance while the broader corrective structure is still intact.
A Perfect Storm Index™ reading of 68/100 suggests the macro backdrop remains unfavourable for risk assets, even after this week's modest improvement.
Until price proves otherwise, I continue to favour caution over complacency.

Everyone remembers how far $ICP fell.
Very few are asking what it has been building ever since.
The market eventually stops pricing the past and starts pricing the future.
That's the question worth asking imo
#ICP #Crypto

#DXY continues to strengthen.
📈 Elliott Wave structure remains constructive.
📊 RSI isn't yet overbought.
🔴 Perfect Storm Index™: 69/100
The macro backdrop continues to favour #dollar strength, which historically has been a challenging environment for risk assets #BTC #Crypto etc

Bitcoin Update
Yesterday I noted that the Perfect Storm Index™ had risen to 69/100, signalling an increasingly hostile macro backdrop for risk assets.
At the same time, the developing bearish RSI divergence on the weekly chart suggested the B-wave rally was losing momentum.
Today's decline in #Bitcoin has so far aligned with both the macro and technical outlook.
The Perfect Storm Index™ isn't designed to predict every move—it's designed to measure when the balance of risks is becoming increasingly unfavourable.

Bitcoin is approaching a decision point.
The weekly chart suggests the B-wave rally may be nearing completion.
If bearish RSI divergence develops, it would support the case for Wave C lower.
Meanwhile, the Perfect Storm Index™ has risen to 68/100, indicating macro conditions remain risk-off.
When technicals and macro tell the same story, I pay attention.

Can one macro indicator help explain why Bitcoin is struggling to gain traction?
The Perfect Storm Index™ remains elevated, reflecting persistent macro pressure from liquidity, the US dollar, credit conditions, oil and geopolitical risk.
Meanwhile, BTC appears to be completing a small B-wave, with the 100% Fibonacci projection remaining my preferred target.
It'll be interesting to see whether macro pressure and technicals continue to align.

The Perfect Storm Index™ (PSI)
What if one score could capture multiple macro risks?
The Perfect Storm Index™ combines liquidity, the US dollar, oil & inflation, credit markets, volatility, sentiment, Elliott Wave and geopolitical risk into a single market pressure score.
Below is a historical reconstruction showing how the PSI methodology aligns with major market crises.

With potential HIGH risk times ahead you would expect #DXY to appreciate sharply, which is actually very possible (or we could still be working through wave 4)
But even so, higher #Dollar should follow soon which would go hand in hand with a high risk environment -ve #BTC etc

This interpretation for #BTC ticks a few boxes....
Elliott wave correction down looks incomplete.
The B wave up from the low looks corrective.
A little higher and RSI can become overbought.
Q4 projected low fits #Bitcoin cycle timing.
Downward movement fits high risk reading for PSI

I am entertaining the idea that #OIL MAY have completed the corrective B wave down.
IF correct then this would have further Bearish implications on #BTC #Crypto and other risk assets.
THIS IS WHY THE "PERFECT STORM INDEX" IS REGISTERING HIGH RISK

Today's Reading: 66/100 🔴
Market pressure remains elevated.
• 📉 Liquidity softening
• 💵 DXY strengthening
• 🛢 Oil above $90

Risk isn't at panic levels yet, but macro conditions continue to deteriorate beneath the surface.

I still expect #OIL to turn lower from here.
The Terminal structure down in 5 waves has not been invalidated.
This should bode well for #BTC & #Crypto which has been climbing a wall of worry.
$BTC rally incoming IMO
