Time Factors, Bitcoin Weakness, and the Altcoin Rotation

Quick look ahead after last night’s weekly and monthly close. The market’s making a slightly lower low today, so I’m zooming out — because we’re right on top of that time factor we’ve been tracking for months.

The Timing: This Is The Window

The Q2 outlook called for a low between the 28th and the 6th, and that’s exactly the zone the market is grinding through right now. The cycles converging here are hard to ignore:

  • ~240 days from the October top (within two days now)

  • Balancing against the February low — the bottom that came in 120 days later

  • 60 days from the April 7th bottom

  • Sixty weeks from that April 2025 bottom, which also lines up as 60 months from the June 2021 monthly low

A lot of time symmetry stacking into one window. We’re still holding above the 50% retracement of the run (~71,473) and haven’t closed below the key 1x1 level — which is what we want to see hold. I’m looking at the end of this week to bring in a significant low.

Bitcoin: I Don’t Love It, But The Plan Holds

I’ll be honest about the negatives, because two things I didn’t want to see both happened: Bitcoin closed three weeks red, and last month’s monthly closed red with a reversal after only two months up. That’s not what you see in a strong uptrend.

Volatility is extremely low right now — and low volatility is just a forecast for high volatility. The market is doing everything it can to put everyone in a state of uncertainty.

I’ve been wrong on the timing of a big impulse move. But I’m now firmly in the camp that there’s still a squeeze coming in June — much like the June 2023 bottom that ripped higher. I think we still see that 84–90K level off a June low in the next few days. Beyond that, my base case is a low-volume, low-volatility, mostly range-bound market into the fall low, then a much stronger market taking shape into 2027.

This is a 2023-style environment — before the full re-acceptance of crypto as a thing. These two fractals (the 60-week cycles from 2023 and 2024–25) suggest a long year to get to the fall.
