BOScoin community be aware of the cycles
The Market Cycle as an Asset ClassThe cycle can be classified into four stages:Stage 1: AccumulationThis stage lasts for many months. Everything is low. Low prices, low volume, low volatility, low expectations. The previous crash in front of mind to retail investors and traders. the bottom may be in, but retail investors are traumatized and fear further losses. Institutional investors, whales and smart money who sold on the way up and shorted on the way down are buying back in before the cycle starts over. This is the period of greatest opportunity, and ironically (and unsurprisingly) the period when financial media and the public pay the least attention.
Stage 2: Bull MarketA widely-anticipated regulatory fundamental news event acts as a catalyst to push the price to levels unseen since the early days of the bear market.
Social media sentiment turns bullish. The dominant emotions are confidence, excitement and a sense of great promise.
Price grows incrementally and then retraces, in cycles. Each cycle looks like 3 steps forward, 1–2 steps back, and lasts roughly 3–6 weeks.
Several growth cycles pass, and eventually, the old all-time-high is retaken.
People who bought the last top are freed of their burden, reducing sell pressure across the marketplace.
The enthusiasm of price discovery begins to compound. Retail FOMO builds on itself, and financial media fans the flames.
In its first 100 days of price discovery, Bitcoin nearly doubles its old all-time-high.
Not long afterward, Bitcoin climbs out of its logarithmic channel.
the market is still moving in cycles, 3 steps forward, 1–2 steps back.Stage 2, Part 2: ParabolaWithout notice, 3 steps forward, 2 steps back is abandoned. The new normal is 3 steps forward, no steps back. Bitcoin’s price grows at a parabolic rate from this point forward. Retail FOMO becomes a global phenomenon. Hip-hop artists endorse ICOs, K-pop bands gush over altcoins. Crypto-related Google searches are at an all-time high. Exchanges are overwhelmed by new account signups and temporarily halt registration. Binance accounts are being sold on craigslist for Monero.
Institutional investors and smart money are scaling out, but are still net long the futures & derivatives markets. Experts speculate that we’ve reached an inflection point in the cryptocurrency adoption curve, and that price might never again go down. Retail buyers who sold in frustration after the last crash are now buying back in as price approaches its top. The timeframe for this last parabolic wave of buying has been amazingly consistent cross-parabola. Historically, all four times it’s lasted 5–7 weeks. (Put that in your back pocket).
Stage 3: Smart Money Takes ProfitThe parabolic trend is over. Price crashes violently, about 25%. It tries and fails to retake the all-time-high. Most retail investors think it’s a healthy correction and aren’t selling. Profits taken out of Bitcoin are put into altcoins. The altcoin market goes on an exponential parabolic bull run. Whales and institutional investors have been scaling out of their positions for many weeks, and are now net short the futures & derivatives markets. This period lasts roughly 6–8 weeks.
Anyone who sells in profit during this period did a great job. Cryptotwitter is bullish.
Stage 4: Bear MarketSharp violent drops are followed by weeks of sideways price action. Retail investors who haven’t been through a full market cycle fail to take profit and are rekt.
Anyone who bought the top is now at risk of selling the bottom. Cryptotwitter agonizes over a trendline for months. Bearish analysts who offer historically accurate price projections are eviscerated in the court of social opinion. With each new low, a chorus of social media influencers insist that price has just bottomed, that only fools don’t buy the dip and that altcoin season is just around the corner.
Bullish relief rallies are met by whales shorting the futures markets, regulatory FUD, high-volume institutional market selling, bagholders exiting at support-turned-resistance, exchange hacks, ICO scandals, last month’s FUD repackaged and re-released as this month’s FUD, and poorly-explained liquidity dumps somehow loosely and improbably related to Mt. Gox.
The final drop happens suddenly, on high volume, triggering an impulse wave of stop-losses and panic selling. It appears as a long wick on the daily chart. Many retail investors have just sold the bottom. Prices that technical analysts have been salivating over for months are available for a handful of hours. This happens in the middle of the night where you live. Anyone who didn’t place buy orders sleeps through the bottom.
In the end, Bitcoin touches bottom roughly 80% below all-time highs.
This brings its retrace to roughly the same levels as all previous Bitcoin bear markets.
Accumulation of Capitulation our tour of the market cycle is complete.Post-capitulation, the retail market will be processing shock and awe.
The low volume weeks and months that follow are a time of opportunity for savvy retail buyers with fiat available on the sidelines.
Bear market buying must be done strategically — I recommend @TheCryptoFam’s excellent tweetstorm on this subject. (Read it here.)
Bitcoin’s Market Cycle is the Cryptocurrency Investor’s North StarKnowing how to operate effectively as a crypto investor is predicated on the awareness of one’s position in the cycle. Though awareness of one’s position is not a guarantee of profitability. Far from it. Just like following the north star doesn’t mean you’ll find your way. But awareness of the star’s presence paints a frame of reference on top of the world, one that makes a life or death difference if you’re adrift at sea. The metaphor obviously extends to your portfolio in a bear market.
The Fifth ParabolaWhenever we think about the future, it’s important to remember the one and only thing about the future we know for sure. Which is: we don’t know what’s going to happen. This forces us to think in probabilities. Which brings me to a hypothetical question. Picture a financial instrument: from its inception, it has done one specific thing, and done it cyclically, four times in eight years, at ever-increasing rates of scale. The question: over the next few years, what’s the highest probability scenario for that asset’s future? Do you think Bitcoin will stop doing the thing it’s done four times in a row? It could. That could happen. We have to acknowledge that. But is that the highest probability scenario?
No. Absent poor fundamentals, an object in motion tends to stay in motion.
And Bitcoin’s fundamentals have literally never been stronger: the New York Stock Exchange announced it will offer cryptocurrency custodial services and a Bitcoin futures contract; Goldman Sachs announced it’s opening an institutional crypto trading desk, and spent $300 million to acquire Poloniex, a top cryptocurrency exchange; Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Switzerland and the UK continue to lead their regions in crypto-friendly regulation; Mastercard just filed a patent for a cryptocurrency fractional reserve system (what could go wrong?); the SEC continues to deliberate on a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund; and the Lightning Network continues to grow, having already made Bitcoin transfers between institutions near-instantaneous.
The highest probability scenario is that the market cycle repeats itself a fifth time.
And that Bitcoin and altcoins go on another exponential parabolic bull run.
(
And crash afterwards.)
So Position Yourself For It Now
Now, and in the months that follow. As best you can. While prices are still low.The two most important skills to learn in preparation for the next cycle:
Risk management. Success can’t happen without it.
1 Learn how to take profits during (and after) a parabolic advance.
2 Become a devoted student of this arcane, insanely relevant skill.
