Charles Edwards, founder of the Bitcoin and digital asset hedge fund Capriole Investments, published a detailed examination of Bitcoin’s current market phase suggesting a bullish trajectory, potentially reaching the $100,000 mark. The analysis hinges on the identification of a Wyckoff ‘Sign of Strength’ (SOS), a concept derived from the century-old Wyckoff Method that studies supply and demand dynamics to forecast price movements.

Understanding The Wyckoff ‘SOS’: Bitcoin To $100,000?

The Wyckoff Method, developed by Richard D. Wyckoff, is a framework for understanding market structures and predicting future price movements through the analysis of price action, volume, and time. The ‘Sign of Strength’ (SOS) within this methodology signifies a point where the market shows evidence of demand overpowering supply, indicating a strong bullish outlook.

Edwards’s observation of an SOS pattern in Bitcoin’s recent price movements suggests that the market is at a pivotal point, where sustained upward momentum is highly probable. In Capriole’s latest newsletter, Edwards offered a precise depiction of Bitcoin’s market behavior, highlighting a period of volatility and consolidation in the $60,000 to $70,000 range.

This phase was anticipated by the hedge fund. Currently, as Bitcoin ventures above its last cycle’s all-time highs, it aligns with the predicted zig-zag SOS structure. Edwards elucidates, “It would not be surprising to see a liquidity grab at / into all-time highs […] All consolidation above the Monthly level at $56K is extremely bullish. It would be uncommon (but not impossible) for price to continue in a straight line up.”

The “zig-zag” phase also perfectly aligns with the halving cycle as BTC tends to consolidate “both months either side of the Halving.” Edwards added that “the realities of a much lower supply growth rate + unlocked pent up tradfi demand will then kick-in and launch 12 months of historically the best risk-reward period for Bitcoin.”

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin’s foray into price discovery territory above $70,000 is devoid of significant resistance levels. This opens a pathway to psychological and Fibonacci extension levels, with Edwards pinpointing $100,000 as the next major psychological resistance.

The 1.618 Fibonacci extension from the 2021 high to the 2022 low is noted at $101,750, serving as a technical marker for potential resistance. Edwards reflects on investor sentiment, stating, “You can also imagine quite a few investors would be happy seeing six-digit Bitcoin and taking profit in that zone,” acknowledging the psychological impact of such milestones.

BTC Fundamentals Support The Bull Case

Edwards also delves into the importance of fundamentals, underscoring their role in providing a bullish backdrop for Bitcoin. The introduction of the Dynamic Range NVT (DRNVT), a unique metric to Capriole, indicates that Bitcoin is currently undervalued. Edwards describes DRNVT as “Bitcoin’s ‘PE Ratio’”, which assesses the network’s value by comparing on-chain transaction throughput to market capitalization.

The current DRNVT readings suggest an attractive investment opportunity, given Bitcoin’s undervaluation at all-time price highs. “What’s fascinating at this point of the cycle is that DRNVT is currently in a value zone. With price at all time highs, this is a promising and unusual reading for the opportunity that lies ahead in 2024. It’s something we didn’t see in 2016 nor 2020,” Edwards remarked.

With both technical indicators and fundamental analysis signaling a bullish future for Bitcoin, the anticipation surrounding the upcoming Halving event adds further momentum to the positive outlook. Despite the expectation of volatility and consolidation in the short term, Edwards confidently states, “probabilities are starting to skew to the upside once again.”

At press time, BTC traded at $69,981.

You’re on the correct track if you’re thinking of investing today. The market’s remarkable surge in cryptocurrency has resulted in all-positive expectations. 2022 is the year of the crypto-boom, and acting quickly on investment might earn you a hefty passive income.  

The Seesaw Protocol (SSW) Revolution

As previously said, the crypto-market is now as bullish as ever, and with only a few days left to sign up for the first Seesaw Protocol presale, crypto-traders around the world are ecstatic and earning passively.

There’s a lot to look forward to, since SSW will have two more presale slots available, there’s still time to start earning! however, remember that the sooner you start, the better.

Why? Early investors get the best deal and profit from SSW’s popularity; SSW is up more than 1000% since the presale started and if these are the numbers of the first month, imagine what the future will bring! Based on its present performance, some analysts project that by the end of the presale, it may be up to 6-7500 percent.

Furthermore, Seesaw Protocol has a fantastic reward scheme that allows all of its holders to earn a piece of every transaction fee (set at 3%) from this completely decentralised and Multi-Chain Decentralized Finance (DeFi) network. SSW employs a DeFi technology that keeps your digital wallet’s fees to a bare minimum and allows you to transfer and buy in a matter of seconds through internet connection and smart devices. A true Crypto-Revolution

Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) and the Meme Coin Swing

The reality of meme coins is that they swing because unlike utility coins (such as Seesaw Protocol), meme coins are more subject to what happens outside the market (social media for example). This means that a sure trajectory can never be outlined. Thankfully, the worst appears to have passed with the collapse of meme currencies in November 2021 (together with crypto-giants crashes like Bitcoin). A new era of hope and growth has begun, which implies that investing in meme currencies may no longer be as dangerous as it once was. We can deduce that there is a positive trend as the markets communicate information and analysists predict a good year. This week’s news is that SHIB is up 45 percent, while DOGE is down marginally. Shiba Inu and Dogecoin are both looking forward to returning to their all-time highs. Dogecoin reached its pinnacle in the early months of 2021, thanks in large part to Elon Musk, and big social media platforms. Shiba Inu rose to prominence in October 2021, when it reached a market valuation of $41 billion (now $16.9 billion) and a price of $0.00008 (currently $0.00003085), thanks to its real-world application ShibaLands in Metaverse NFT (rare for a meme coin). As the number of meme coins grows, so does the position and sentiment of crypto-investors toward them.

Today, the general market sentiment is positive – don’t miss out on this opportunity!
