If Bitcoin's future isn't clear, zoom out.BitcoinCRYPTO:BTCUSDZulu_KiloI used to have such a hard time with ICT's concepts until I simplified it and started zooming out... There are only two concepts to recognize: Does price push past a high or a low WITH imbalance? -If YES, trend will go into that direction AFTER the market makers get into position. What does that look like? Price will almost always revert to the Premium/Discount of the swing before continuing. It is in these technical areas that we look for signs of a reversal on a smaller timeframe (imbalance to the opposite side). -If NO, this is what we call a MANIPULATION if price goes above a high/low and starts creating imbalances immediately to the reverse on a smaller timeframe. Bitcoin on a 12 month chart really makes things EASY. -2021 ATH broke with a strong imbalance to the upside. -Exactly the same as it did in 2017, 2020 and now in 2024. -In 2018 as well as 2022, price returned to BELOW discount and into OTA before a reversal. If you want to see the future, look at the past... -FVG will be confirmed at the end of the year. 2026 will likely herald in lower prices and seek DISCOUNT prices. -Current discount is below $71,000. -OTA is below $58,000. (61.8%) -If previous historical swings foretell the future, price did not reverse until at least 78.6% -This means a reversal could bring us all the way down to BELOW $40,000. The fact that we will have a reversal is a foregone conclusion at this point. Next year is going to be extremely bearish for Bitcoin, but we are absolutely bulllish in the long run.
