How I place my bias on higher timeframes (within the 3-5 year business/macro cycle) - using composites (of assets and/or indicators) - all are shared regularly in discord:
1. General market tops
2. General market bottoms
3. Bitcoin miner/crypto stocks
4. Bitcoin and crypto
1. General market tops: Timing works best for bitcoin/crypto and crypto/speculative stocks. Larger cap stocks and indices sometimes require more inputs.
Total of 8 indicators create the composite bar chart in white (at bottom of image).
Charts below are for
$WGMI $MSTR $COIN $BTC $ETH $OTHERS $SPY $QQQ $OKLO $IONQ $NBIS
It's easy enough to say bitcoin or crypto or stock markets are going to go up.
But that doesn't just mean buy the popular thing or what sounds the best.
Asset selection is the difference between wiping your net worth, and retiring multiple generations ahead of you.
That's still the case in a bull market. It's also the most underappreciated aspect.
Timing the market won't mean anything, for example, if you only make +10% Vs 10,000%
Choose wisely.
@Drew_Vish I think the volatility thats getting assigned to AI, is the normal path for late stage secular cycles. The 90s had many 10-20% drops on the way up (similar to what we keep getting since 2020).
Even if info moves faster, people and human nature is still slow and cynical.
Many factors:
This chart is onchain euphoria. The bigger the asset becomes, the longer it takes to run out of steam (no longer parabola blow off tops).
The China factor, as it came out of a bear market in 2023/24, and ran into late 2025.
Also DATs and ETFs setting a rising floor under price, as they dca'd for 1-2 years after ETF launch.
@Drew_Vish Price peaks will continue to move further and further past onchain euphoria phases, but at the same time cycles will begin to shift further and further back (till potentially like gold, they run before other risk assets)
Its the same move every cycle.
U.S ISM manufacturing PMI goes up, and bitcoin goes up.
