Is It Time to Get Excited?
Itâs been over a month since Bitcoin's significant drop in August, and things are finally beginning to settle. Market sentiment has shifted notably, and it "seems" weâre entering a bullish phase. But why the quotes around "seems"? In trading, nothing is ever certain. If youâve been in the crypto game for over five years, you know we still need to confirm one crucial level: the higher low that will solidify this shift in market structure.
Looking back at my previous post, âThe Dip of the Dippity Dip?â, it appears that was indeed the best buying opportunity. The actionable trades at $53k, $56k, and the final bid at $57k are still in profit as we await a valid confirmation signal on higher timeframes.

The Dip of the Dippity Dip?
What a drop and arguably the best buying opportunity this quarter. How much lower can it go? A question of fear and desire for lower prices that left many on the sidelines wondering if it was the right thing to do. Letâs try to be more rational, as there are
Zelf TradeSamuel CastellanosIâve been steering clear of the daily chart (only using it to find buying opportunities), as it hasnât provided much insight into market trends. So, letâs update the monthly chart and see if we can trigger new signals for Uptober and possibly Movember.
Monthly View
A bullish trend could ignite if we reach $77,625.3 by October. Thereâs a solid chance we could see a repeat of last yearâs rally, with October serving as a catalyst for Bitcoinâs strongest move since the low of around $15.5k.
October's Trigger Price
What happens if we hit that level? Simple: we could start a new bullish trend toward all-time highs, potentially sparking a multi-year rally. Thereâs a hidden consolidation period between the $23k and $42k areas, both showing similar patterns. If this high timeframe setup comes to fruition, we can expect a trending market to unfold between July and October of next year. These are just projections to help gauge market strength, so donât rush in just yetâconfirmation on the monthly chart is still pending. Nevertheless, itâs exciting to see what Bitcoin could potentially offer!
To add some enticing insights, many technical analysts are projecting prices to exceed $100k, with our time@mode methodology indicating $103k as the first target and $181k as a secondary target. While everyone is eager to pinpoint where the next peak will occur, itâs important to remember that this is largely a guessing game.Classical charting may provide some clues, but if the market decides to surge, it will establish a peak when least expected.
Time@Mode Projections
Logarithmic Trend Line
Iâve included a projection line that will likely appear in various charts.
Quick Weekly Chart Review:
- Weâve seen the first break of the bearish BMS, which we've discussed in Telegram and Discord.
- The time@mode is active; although itâs not the usual strength activation signal, it still holds a valid trigger. This month has an active trend (another reason to stay invested) with a target of approximately $77k.
- If we see a retracement this weekâwhich I believe will be the last opportunity for pullbacks before new all-time highsâI expect prices to hold above $60k. If a mode retest occurs, $57.7k might be in play, but Iâm not counting on it.
Weekly Bearish BMS
P.S. Check out the fractals of hopium in âThe Dip of the Dippity Dip?â post; they align with time@mode targets. Are we really set for a full-year rally?
Shifting Focus to the Altcoin Market:
I identified the market's low on the day of the previous post, providing one last opportunity to enter the aggressive buying zone, much like Bitcoinâs swift re-entry at $53k. I hope many of us have dipped our toes in during this window of opportunity. In my opinion, with an active trend, thereâs no reason for the market cap to fall below $210 billion.

Bitcoin (BTC) - Septemberâs Crucial Test!
The market has had ample time to process the recent significant drop, which, to date, is the most severe crypto market decline since the most recent lows, even exceeding the impact of the FTX collapse in November 2022. Given this context, itâs important to consider what might serve as the
Zelf TradeSamuel CastellanosBitcoin's Swift Re-entry
The altcoin market appears even healthier, showing signs of a quicker reversal pattern compared to Bitcoin. This is no surprise, given the severe distribution it faced over the past seven months. The weekly trend for alts is also stronger than Bitcoinâs, having closed with two consecutive expansion bars. Expect minimal retraces.
OTHERS - Top 125 Cryptocurrencies (Excluding the Top 10
I anticipate quick pullbacks for most altcoins. Donât expect the typical Fibonacci retracements that everyone draws on their charts; instead, look for minor consolidation periods followed by expansions. Within those periods, aim to bid at the lows of the range.
If the OTHERS market cap dips to $200 billion during this retracement, consider it a gift. While Iâm not counting on this scenario, Iâll be more aggressive with my final bids.
Overall, if the August post didnât look bearish at the lows, you can guess how Iâm feeling now. Weâre at a tipping point, aiming for new highs and poised for a fresh wave of pumps. Altcoins are looking promising, with a healthier trend than Bitcoin, so Iâll be diversifying into a greater basket of altcoin holdings compared to Bitcoin spot.
But hey, letâs hope we donât end up in âDowntoberâ or âNovembearâ đ»_âI think weâve all had enough of those!_ đ
Stay tuned for the next post, where Iâll share more details and updates on some of the best altcoin bets as we see confirming reversal signals on the monthly charts! đâš
