🏳️1 Fractal Bias is Super Dangerous: There is a one guy who keeps on pushing the narrative that this cycle will simply copy-paste 2021, driven by fractal overlays that ignore macro shifts. When this analyst rely only on one model, especially to justify selling 50% of their holdings, it raises a key question:
🏳️If you are truly convinced a bear market is here, why not derisk 80%+ instead of only half?
🏳️Because 50% hedging actually communicates uncertainty: ▫️You don’t fully trust your bearish thesis ▫️You want downside protection but don’t want to miss upside continuation. You are not convinced of your thesis. ▫️In both cases, the direction is still unclear to you and misleading your audience.
🏳️Markets are not driven by fractals alone. This cycle is shaped by: • New liquidity sources • ETF-driven demand • Institutional participation • GOLD capital rotation into risk-on-assets • Expansion of crypto infrastructure • Delayed macro cycle impacts vs previous cycles
🏳️Completely ignoring these factors risks leading people into avoidable ending, just like extreme bearish predictions did in past cycles.
🏳️How I See It: ▫️If you believe in the 4-Year Cycle only, then you should already be heavily derisked by now. ▫️If you believe in the extended macro liquidity cycle, then you understand: • Pullbacks do not define a bear market • Exhaustion candles precede the real blow-off top • The final leg is always the most aggressive
🏳️For #XRP specifically: If we revisit $2.65 – $2.70 without major momentum expansion, and as March 2026 approaches, strategic derisking becomes a smart optional move, not fear, but optimization.
🏳️My Thesis: ▫️The cycle top timing will not be a copy of 2021. ▫️It will be a curveball. ▫️My target window remains: ▫️November 2026, the true macro cycle peak. November 2026 Mid-term Elections should be hot an Trump knows how to make people Happy.
🏳️Only a small percentage of the market will see it before it happens. 🏳️Bottom Line ▫️Bias is dangerous. ▫️Fractals alone are incomplete. ▫️Macro + Liquidity + Structure = The full roadmap.
Focus on the bigger picture. This cycle is far from finished.
