August Is the Confirmation

The cycles are turning, Bitcoin is holding stronger than it looks, and the pressure underneath the market is beginning to build.

Something is about to give in this cycle.

For the better part of a year, we talked about June 2026 being the major turning point of the year. So far, it has proven to be the bottom.

But major turning points aren’t always obvious until well after the fact. This case is no different.

The question now is when this painfully boring price action finally ends.

Last week, I thought the catalyst might have come in a surprise move by the Senate. Shame on me for betting on the bureaucratic process.

But that does not change what I am seeing in the market.

As I said last week, it’s easy to see that a big move is coming. But in order as a trader to avoid getting chopped to pieces, it’s paramount to know when exactly that move could occur.

So if June was the major turn of 2026, when does the major acceleration begin?

I still believe August holds the answer to that question.

Back in our Annual Outlook, I highlighted August as one of the most important timing windows of the year. I covered this time factor again in our only Signal Report of the year.

And still today, the market is trading directly into that window with all the right price signals telling me it could become a major event.

We’ve had some incredible wins over the last few months.

Both our Q2 and Q3 Bitcoin trading plans have been remarkably accurate, and most recently we’ve had some huge winners on-chain, with some gains upwards of 2,000%.

The best part is that almost no one is aware of the quiet bull market that has been brewing underneath crypto all year long.

But I believe they are going to start waking up very soon.

This next time factor is giving us all the right signals — from recent price action to cycles we’ve been tracking for years.

I want to start with Bitcoin and the move I was watching last week, then look at our Q3 game plan and why the recent price action is actually a quiet signal for bulls.

From there, we’ll move into Ethereum and the long-term cycles we’ve been tracking.

Finally, we’ll look at the tail end of the market to see what the highest-risk sectors are telling us.
