Mixed Signals
Currently, there seems to be a significant amount of uncertainty taking place in the market. Some are beginning to shift bearish and exchange owners such as CZ are busy sending out cautionary messages on Twitter. I personally would not read that as a bearish sign, though I am sure many would. HIVE recently peaked well over $3 and briefly touched a billion-dollar market cap.
There are a number of other alts that have also performed really well in a time when BTC and ETH have given up some ground. Earlier in the week, we had BTC perform a much-needed reversal from the $54K level. This took place as two distinct patterns came to fruition. Firstly, a double bottom on the hourly that lead into an inverted head and shoulders that actually played out perfectly.
BTC was just at the neckline of a double bottom pattern on the 4 hourly when the markets sold off on the new covid variant news. Perhaps another day would have been enough to break the neckline. Sadly, we will never know. The point here is that BTC formed three bullish patterns successfully and would have most likely confirmed all three, had it not been for the mini swan event.
Despite the fear and greed index sitting firmly in fear, as well as some negative sentiment, I still believe we are in bullish territory. Excessive fear could however trigger further sell-offs. The volume may be low at these levels but drop below and the whales will most likely pick up the slack. Whales have continued to accumulate during this recent dip and have collectively secured billions in BTC from the weak and paper hands.
The following chart supplied by Glassnode and pointed out by on-chain analyst Willy Woo looks very encouraging.
It points to a reversal into significant bullish territory and has been a fairly reliable indicator throughout this cycle.
Accuracy Of Models
Models should not be viewed in exact time parameters but rather over extended time frames. For example, if Plan B's monthly close for November fails but the prediction for January or February is met, it is still valid in my opinion. Price action deviates and returns but over time is accurate. Nobody can predict exact monthly closes, there are too many factors and variables outside of our control, in order to ensure accuracy.
That being said, if you are a long-term investor and participant in the Crypto economy then you are not too fazed even if we had to shift bearish. It's always a good time to cleanse the market of greed anyway.
So whether we go up or down, steady accumulation is the name of the game.

Find those projects you are optimistic about and keep filling your bags.
Bitcoin is obviously a very good one. There are others. Those who accumulate and HODL are going to do very well in some of these projects.

For sure, I try to spot projects as early as possible. I picked up Solana in early 2020 at about $0.26 and a handful of other alts very early. Averaging in on the dumps when the trend is up generally works very well, especially if you have a very early/low entry.

I would highly recommend taking a look into a project called Decentr, still absurdly undervalued and unknown and it is certainly one of the larger projects being built in my opinion. full disclosure, I have owned their token since they launched it however I am not currently in a position that I own any crypto just a project I have loved since day 1. I have written about it if you would like to learn more it's quite unique :).

I have realized we are getting close to the 1 year point when I bought my first crypto (on paypal lol), and that time in the market has really shown that volatility is just the name of the game - my exit plan is many years away so the fact that I want to be invested in crypto means I just want to keep active enough in accumulating. That takes a lot of the pressure off trying to figure out how to play shifts in momentum. Like you say, when in doubt accumulate. I mean, if I ask myself "do I want more crypto in 5 years than I have now?" the answer seems obvious

Volatility is absolutely the name of the game, however, since you joined in on this wild wide volatility has been far higher than even a year before. Also just my opinion and what I like to do when accumulating is to only trade crypto/crypto pairs and never trade against any national currency. Especially since many crypto/crypto pairs you have more than one other crypto to trade against giving you more options for increasing bag size without caring about the dollar value. :)

I have not done too much of that, but I should start looking at some charts to see which pairs seem to run counter to each other. That might be a fun thing to play around with - Thanks!
It's definitely a great way to maintain the dollar value (even if it goes down) because you are increasing with more tokens so price returns and dollar value is higher :) it's especially beneficial for certain pairs and certain situations.

I might take a look at what I can swap on KuCoin, maybe SAND v WAX, or MATIC v CHZ
Just take a week or at least like 3 days to follow the pairs your wanting to trade, find out if any of the projects have anything big coming up that could increase price. pretty much just research first and you will be more successful :). just my opinion though haha

Haha, for sure. I always forget that step :)
Probably this ends up being a 3-coin project, with USDT in the middle. Maybe I can find available trading pairs, but that would limit things to ETH or BTC for the most part. Hmm, maybe I need to rethink the pairs I was considering and look at what tends to trade counter to ETH or BTC. Would just be simpler. Fun project though!
