Markets are beginning to separate slightly again.

Bitcoin and equities have been moving higher but cycle lows are getting closer.


Gold remains at a key decision point.
Oil is stabilising and may be preparing for the next move.

The important point is this:

The larger cycle roadmap has not changed.

Several major assets are still moving towards important cycle lows over the coming months.

That remains the focus.


Bitcoin — Moving Towards The Next Cycle Low

Bitcoin continues to stabilise, but the broader cycle structure still points towards a cycle low into late May or early June.

Momentum has improved in the short term and price may continue to hold up for now, but we are still operating later in the cycle rather than at the beginning of a fresh one.

That matters.
