BTC FractalBitcoin / TetherUSBINANCE:BTCUSDTAleksDUTake a look at market forecasts from the world’s top analysts, where they say that if the price consolidates below a certain level, you should sell, and if it goes higher, you should buy. They themselves don’t know which direction the market will move! Fractal analysis, on the other hand, makes it possible to define the direction of price movement and helps determine how long that movement may last before a reversal. To understand what fractal theory is, let’s mentally go back to the time when mathematician and economist Benoit Mandelbrot first discovered the nature of fractals. While studying economics, he noticed that market price movements follow an interesting pattern. He realized that prices change nonlinearly; traditional linear functions cannot be applied to them, yet they can still be described mathematically. After analyzing cotton prices over the past hundred years, he observed that price exhibits symmetry across both long and short time intervals. This discovery laid the foundation for fractal theory. Thus, in financial markets, fractal theory makes it possible to identify strong support and resistance levels that are more significant than standard horizontal levels. The method of fractal analysis is considerably more effective than conventional approaches such as using indicators or trading trendline breakouts. This is because classical methods are linear, whereas fractal theory is nonlinear. Right now, I see a fractal on BTC that resembles the previous cycle the structure of the movements and the overall price behavior closely rhyme. I noticed this back when the price was around 120k and published a post about it on TradingView. I’m not claiming that this time everything will play out exactly the same. The market is not obligated to repeat the past down to the percentage. I’m simply sharing my observations and how I see the current structure through the lens of the fractal approach.
