If this pattern plays out again, $BTC could see a sharp correction — even a fast move toward $35,000 isn’t off the table. The real question is: are you positioned for that possibility?
My framework is built on two dimensions:
1️⃣ TIME + PRICE
Most traders focus only on price. That’s why they constantly miss optimal entries.
I track Bitcoin across time and price together.
⏳ TIME Axis
Days from ATH to cycle low after each halving:
2012: 406 days
2016: 363 days
2020: 376 days
2024: Still unfolding
These cycles cluster tightly. If history rhymes, the highest probability window for the next major bottom falls around October–November 2026.
That’s my time target.
When that window arrives, I buy — regardless of what price looks like.
Because time prevents you from getting front-run.
💰 PRICE Axis
I began accumulating once BTC entered the $60,000 region.
Why not wait for the “perfect” level?
Because waiting for perfection often means missing the move entirely.
Retail thinking:
“I’ll only buy at X.”
But if price never tags X, you’re sidelined.
My framework is simple:
If price offers value → I scale in.
If the historical time window hits → I buy regardless.
That alignment explains the strategy.
Back in October, when BTC traded near $114,000, I said I’d be a strong buyer in the $60K zone. Most dismissed it. I don’t debate noise — I follow structure.
Now we’re in that region. But downside risk still exists — which is why the TIME axis matters.
📌 My Plan
1) TIME trigger:
Oct–Nov 2026 = strong buy zone, no matter the price.
2) PRICE trigger:
Below $60,000 = strong buy zone, no matter the timing.
If either condition hits, I execute structured daily buys.
🔎 On-Chain Confirmation: NUPL
I also monitor NUPL (Net Unrealized Profit/Loss) — the on-chain indicator that historically marked:
2018 bottom
COVID crash low
2022 cycle bottom
We are not in the historical capitulation zone yet.
That’s why a move toward $45K–$50K into late 2026 wouldn’t surprise me. That’s where I’d feel comfortable deploying heavy size.
The market feels chaotic right now — but cycles always resolve.
Macro context + cycle timing > emotion.
Stay prepared. Stay structured.
And remember: this is a probabilistic framework, not certainty.
Not financial advice. Trading involves risk.
