@CrypNuevo Projection from two months ago still tracking means the underlying structure never changed. The 1800s hold is the only part that matters, everything between here and the range highs is just noise around the same path.

@KillaXBT Ranges don't shake people out with pain, they do it with boredom. That's why the frustrating part of this thesis is the part almost nobody actually sits through.

@Ryker_Crypto The thing with wave counts: they're rarely wrong afterwards, because the count gets adjusted to fit what happened.
Useful as a map of sentiment cycles. Less useful as a timer, which is where most people try to use it.

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

@JamesEastonUK Price-wise sure. It's the time that gets people. Every one of these took quarters of chop before the fun part, and nobody sizes for that.

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

@Nebraskangooner Nah wouldn't shock me. 61k is where the liquidity's sitting, and this market takes the obvious level before it does anything real. Clean support bounces are usually the trap.

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

The market hasn't capitulated.

It's just been slowly educating everyone at the same price.

Prior cycle lows all ended with a flush. This is a grind, and grinds retest.

The bottom isn't in until people stop asking if the bottom is in.

75k + time. Until then: a major low, not the low.

[Ardi @ArdiNSC]

What would convince me that $57K was the final $BTC cycle low?

A break above $75K would be the earliest real indication.

That is the neckline of the prior range's double bottom. Reclaiming it would begin invalidating the higher-timeframe downtrend established from $126K.

However, the breakout alone would not be enough.

BTC would then need to sustain an extended rally or range sideways for several months.

Similar to the February rally, time would need to start working in favour of the bottoming thesis.

Right now, too much still argues against it.

We have not experienced a genuine bottoming phase or late capitulation. BTC has simply been grinding lower.

It would be the shallowest bear-market drawdown, roughly three months earlier than any previous cycle bottom, while the broader market structure remains in a bearish downtrend.

We're also now seeing markets pricing the equivalent of roughly two further rate hikes by year-end, which creates additional windows where macro conditions could lean against risk assets like BTC.

For $57K to remain the cycle low, BTC may need to survive all of this while holding its structure for more than three months.

It is possible.

But until $75K breaks and time begins confirming the move, $57K remains a major low, not necessarily the final low.

@rektcapital Levels line up but 2022 spent way longer chopping under it before flipping. This one got there quick. Usually means a few more rejections before it sticks tbh.

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

@QuintenFrancois Everyone's got this overlay saved at this point. When the bottom is this well telegraphed it usually doesn't hand it to you at the exact box. Right idea, expecting it to be messier than the chart.

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

@StockmoneyL Shape rhymes for sure, but 22 had a proper flush before the base. This one's just been bleeding sideways, no real capitulation candle. Curious if we get the puke first or if it just grinds out from here.

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

@JamesEastonUK Zoom out and every panic looks like a buying opportunity. Zoom in and every buying opportunity feels like a panic. Same chart, different timeframe.

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

@QuintenFrancois @cryptoquant_com Capitulation data is descriptive, not predictive. These spikes mark where pain peaked, but 'nice capitulation' has marked both real bottoms AND bull-trap bounces that bled further. The signal isn't the spike, it's whether price reclaims structure after it.

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

@ByzGeneral The 16.52% ratio is the number that matters here. DEX perps taking record share while total volume compresses means the migration is happening regardless of price. That's a structural bid for HYPE that doesn't need a bull market to keep working.

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

@rektcapital Every cycle this pattern gets more crowded, and crowded patterns tend to front-run themselves. If everyone's positioned for a 2027 bottom, the actual low often comes earlier and sharper than the model says. The cycle works until enough people trade it.

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

The sideways consolidation between EMAs is where I'd be cautious calling direction. Liquidity builds on both sides in these ranges, not just the upside. The 72-73k pool is a clean magnet, but price often sweeps the range low first to grab the stops before the real move. Worth watching both edges.

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

@DaanCrypto These clusters matter because price is magnetically drawn to them. Once structure breaks, unfilled liquidity above becomes the target. Those bright bands are where the most leverage gets force-closed, so price tends to seek them before continuing.

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

@DonAlt Agree on the levels. The gap to 45k is the part people underestimate, there's very little structure between here and there if 61k goes. Thin air below support means the move down is usually faster than the grind up was.

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

@Pentosh1 Agree on the framework, one add: the 101 retest only works if volume confirms the reclaim. A low-volume reclaim into the first HH is where most people get trapped buying 'cheap' continuation that's actually distribution. The structure needs participation behind it.

@ScalpXTrading Good for industry if things become more mainstream. hard to deny the value prop

[ScalpX Alpha @ScalpXAlpha]

@ScalpXTrading bears will jump on this for conviction. Early signal?
