One week ago I proposed that #OIL had completed a clean 5-wave advance, with Wave 5 reaching 1.618× Wave 1.
That scenario has unfolded closely as expected, followed by a three-wave ABC correction.
If this count remains valid, Oil could soon begin another leg higher. That would likely add inflationary pressure and weigh on #BTC, #Crypto and other risk assets.
Markets deal in probabilities, not certainties. Risk management always comes first.

I proposed 1 week ago that #OIL had advanced in 5 clean waves with wave 5 = 1.618 X wave 1
That is precisely what happened and has been followed as expected by 3 waves down abc.
We should soon get another burst higher which will damage #BTC #Crypto & risk assets in general

There is currently little evidence that #BTC has completed its correction.
Buying here could prove to be catching a falling knife if the broader downtrend resumes.
I'd rather miss the first 10% of a new bull move than the last 50% of a bear market.

#BTC to $20k?
It sounds outrageous... until you study previous Bitcoin cycles.
I'm not predicting $20k, but it's a scenario worth considering if this correction evolves into a full cyclical bear market.
Successful investing isn't about certainty, it's about preparing for multiple outcomes and managing risk accordingly.

Personally, I believe there is PLENTY of time for another #DXY low before a potentially rapid rise to coincide with the proposed Q4 low in #BTC & #Crypto
Selloffs can be violent affairs and as they say, corrections are often much more aggressive than rallies

USD/JPY may not be finished just yet.
Hidden Bullish Divergence, combined with an oversold RSI, suggests a relief rally could be close. If USD/JPY rebounds, it would likely imply renewed Yen weakness and a short-term improvement in risk appetite—potentially providing some relief for #Bitcoin and broader risk assets.
Markets rarely move in straight lines.
If you trade #USDYEN then we have perfect open and close signals with these divergences

Perfect Storm Index™ | 2 August 2026
Today's Reading: 72/100 🔴
Risk conditions remain elevated. Liquidity continues to tighten while safe-haven demand is strengthening, with USD/JPY, the US Dollar and volatility all reinforcing a defensive macro backdrop.
The market doesn't need panic, it needs discipline.
When risk builds beneath the surface, protecting capital becomes just as important as seeking returns imo.
📉 Liquidity tightening
💵 USD firm
🇯🇵 Yen strengthening (risk-off)

USD/JPY is one of the market's most important risk proxies. Here, Regular Bearish Divergence warned of the imminent reversal, with Yen strength reinforcing the shift to a risk-off environment across #Bitcoin and broader markets.

Since the #BTC all-time high, we've seen a series of sideways corrective structures, each followed by another leg lower.
If this pattern continues, the current consolidation may represent another corrective B wave before a further decline.
Markets are driven by probabilities, not certainties—but for now, the weight of evidence continues to favour caution.

While the broader #BTC outlook remains bearish, it is entirely possible that the B wave has one final push higher before the next impulsive decline begins.

Yesterday I explored the possibility of an impulsive count for #BTC, but after reviewing the evidence I don't believe it fits as well as the corrective interpretation from the all-time high.
My preferred count still calls for one more leg lower before the larger bull market resumes.
If correct, that should set the stage for a powerful advance to new all-time highs in 2027.
Elliott Wave isn't about certainty, it's about assigning probabilities and adapting as new information emerges.

Today's Reading: 76/100 🟠
Yesterday: 76 → Today: 76 (No Change)
The macro backdrop remains finely balanced. Sticky inflation, restrictive monetary policy and tight liquidity continue to limit risk appetite, while a firm US dollar keeps financial conditions relatively restrictive.
Key drivers:
• 📉 Liquidity: Constrained
• 💵 DXY: Firm
• 🌊 Elliott Wave: Corrective structure suggests caution
• 😐 Sentiment: Neutral to complacent
• 🛢️ Oil: Neutral
A 76 doesn't predict an imminent decline, it simply indicates that market conditions continue to warrant disciplin

I present here a VALID alternative #BTC count (in black) that has a 5 wave impulse down from the ATH with the 3rd wave 2.618 X 1st wave. (thats pretty convincing)
Either way, whether corrective OR impulsive down, we should expect lower as 5th wave or C wave of Y section of WXY

Bitcoin continues to consolidate, but the macro backdrop remains challenging.
The biggest uncertainty isn't today's price action, it's whether the Fed can return inflation sustainably to target without triggering a sharper economic slowdown.
Markets are pricing hope. The data still demands caution IMO

🔴 Today's Reading: 76/100 (Unchanged)
The macro backdrop remains challenging.
• 📉 Liquidity remains constrained
• 💵 A firm USD continues to pressure risk assets
• 🌊 Elliott Wave structure still favours caution
• 😨 Sentiment hasn't reached true capitulation
• 🛢 Oil is stabilising, but not yet a decisive tailwind
Markets don't need bad news to fall—they simply need conditions to remain fragile.
Protect capital. Stay patient. Wait for probabilities to improve IMO

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 1,153.18 points lower, or 2.19%, at 51,594.14 for its worst decline since April 2025. The S&P 500 slid 1.52% to end the day at 7,316.15. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.74% to 24,442.94, and crossed into correction territory.
Could this be the beginning of the leg down towards a potential Q4 low in markets, #Crypto etc
