Bitcoin & NQ-100 Intensify Focus on Late-Jan/Early-Feb ’26 ‘Danger Period’… & Eerie Parallels!
01-10-26 – “Stock Indices are initially fulfilling ~2-Year & ~4-Year Cycle Progressions that converge in Jan ’26 – the ideal time for a new 3 – 6-month peak to take hold. The ~2-year cycle timed lows in Jan/ Feb ’14 & Jan/Feb ’16, after which 6 – 12-month advances unfolded. That Cycle Progression then inverted and timed successive 6 – 12-month (or longer) peaks in Jan/Feb 2018, 2020 & 2022.
Jan/Feb ’24 was the one time it failed as stocks stretched their rallies into March ’24 before suffering modest sell-offs. The interim (~1-year) period – in Jan/Feb ’25 – timed another 3 – 6 month peak, after which stock indexes plunged in sync with their reinforcing 17-Year Cycle.
Jan/Feb ’26 – with the greatest synergy of related cycles in mid-to-late-January ’26 – is the latest recurrence of the ~1-Year, ~2-Year and the related ~4-Year Cycle Progressions.
On an intermediate basis, the NQ-100 needs to give a weekly close below its weekly 21 Low MAC (~24,800/NQH) to signal a higher-magnitude top is in place and to project a new drop into early-Feb ’26.
That would fulfill a 10 – 11-week low-low-low-low Cycle Progression and a 50% retracement in time…
Bitcoin & Ether have consolidated after plunging into Nov 17 – 21st, ’25 and to ~80,000/ BTC – fulfilling the 4Q ’25 outlook for cryptos. New lows are expected in 1Q ’26…“
Bitcoin & cryptos are preparing for a more dramatic decline to take hold after stock index Cycle Progressions peak in late-Jan ’26. Bitcoin fulfilled early-October sell signals and is preparing for a second plunge in Jan/Feb ’26 – potentially coinciding with NQ-100 analysis for a drop into Feb 2 – 9 (greatest synergy = Feb 5 – 9, ’26). Early-Feb ’26 is the next ‘Danger Zone’ – for both cryptos & tech stocks – based on a myriad of technical timing indicators.
Almost a year ago, in February ’25, INSIIDE Track highlighted an intriguing set of ‘eerie parallels’ that were/are expected to reach fruition in 2026 (likely in 1Q/2Q ’26) and would be validated by an initial plunge in crypto prices in 4Q 2025.
That would set the stage for a second drop surrounding late-Jan ‘26 – all leading into a unique monthly Cycle Progression low in 2Q ‘26. ~70K is the next (minimum) downside target… with two other targets well below that.
The initial plunge in Bitcoin was projected to be an omen of what would follow in 1Q ’26 (surrounding late-Jan ’26) – in line with stock index 2-Year & 4-Year Cycle Progressions. One of the keys involved Bitcoin cycles that were forecast to turn dramatically lower in Nov/Dec ’25 – and accelerate lower in 1Q ’26 – as a ~4-year cycle goes through a major downward shift:
17-Year Cycle & 4-Shadow: 4Q 2025 Shifts
40-Year Cycle of Currency War: Bitcoin vs US Dollar
40-Year Cycle of Currency War: Bitcoin Peaking Process
Why is Early-Feb ’26 Shaping Up as Critical ‘Danger Zone’ in Cryptos & Tech Stocks?
How Did Nov ‘25 Bitcoin & Stock Index Sell-offs Presage Jan/Feb. ’26 Sell-off?
Will ‘Eerie Parallels’ Emerge in Feb/March ’26… Right on Schedule?
