Real Vision founder: Bitcoin will experience a "five-year cycle" this round, most likely peaking in Q2 next year
ChainCatcher reported that Raoul Pal, co-founder and CEO of Real Vision, stated in his latest podcast released yesterday that bitcoin is now replicating the ISM (Institute for Supply Management Index, i.e., the "business cycle"). The core point is: bitcoin is now following the ISM, and interest rates are also moving to the same rhythm. In 2021–22, the Treasury extended the debt-weighted average maturity from 4 years to 5 years. As a result, the entire cycle was forcibly extended by one year—the original "four-year cycle" has become a "five-year cycle." The model shows that the ISM will peak in 2026; liquidity is likely to peak earlier, because the second derivative (rate of change) of ISM and liquidity will turn first.
"Our guess is: the real peak will occur in 2026, most likely in Q2."

If Ethereum falls below $4,000, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach $451 millions.
BlockBeats News, on September 25, according to Coinglass data, if Ethereum falls below $4,000, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach $451 million.
Conversely, if Ethereum breaks through $4,200, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach $1.079 billion.
BlockBeats note: The liquidation chart does not display the exact number of contracts pending liquidation or the precise value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the relative importance, or intensity, of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters.
Therefore, the liquidation chart shows the extent to which the underlying price reaching a certain level will be affected. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that once the price reaches that level, there will be a stronger reaction due to a wave of liquidity.
