📚Ichimoku Theory - Free Learning Material
Below is the full list of the 17 educational threads I've posted on Ichimoku Theory.
If they don't contain the entire Theory they probably contain more than 90% of it. I think that it's fair to say that it's impossible to find in written English this information for free.
The amount of characters in all threads are approximately 100,825.
One standard page is 1800 characters so this is ~56 pages of pure text.
But, in reality books are often issued with bigger line spaces so they fit less than 1800 characters per page.
If we account for that and all graphs, videos and images, I think that the page number can go up to 75-100.
This is an entire book for you - here, for free.
Enjoy it, but don't forget to share it.
You got it for free, share it for free.
If you like it but you don't feel like sharing it you can still pray for the sinful soul of Doctor Cat.

This is step by step completing the minimum duration of the bearish Kihon Suchi cycle of the Kyushu Ashi candles which is 9-2 = 7.
If any of these is proven wrong, the entire forecast chain afterwards is invalidated.
The last such unexpected invalidation occured in the 5 candles cycle in 2019.

If the bull run is to continue I think that this correction must end in the worst case between 3.3K-3.6K and latest by January.
~$3,607 is the upper level.
But I have no idea whether the bull run will continue.
If you didn't buy the $BTC bottom and you regret it and you can't live with the idea that the bull market may start without you, I think that you should buy 72.5K.
That doesn't mean that lower prices, even 62K can't come again and buying 72K is very far from being optimal.
But if you made the mistake not to buy the bottom and you felt terrible the last couple of months of feeling sidelined, that could be your chance to correct your mistake.
If you can live with the idea of being completely sidelined and prefer lower prices, you may wait for the low 60s with the clear understanding that these prices may never come before the next bear market.
I want to speak to you directly about what happened.
Bottom line - your money is safe, and we're covering every loss.
Our initial investigation suggests this security incident may have started with a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop. That gave an attacker access to a service container, where they submitted unauthorized withdrawal transactions.
To be clear: the attacker did not simply use one engineer's permissions, and this was not a single "one-click" action. It involved a more complex attack process. Our investigation has not attributed responsibility to any individual.
So far, we have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak.
We'll share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and every fact is verified - and publish an updated Proof of Reserves once remediation is complete.
What you need to know:
• Your funds are safe
• Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and company funds
• Estimated total impact: ~$6.3B, with ~$3B frozen on-chain so far, in coordination with our blockchain partners
• No evidence of any wallet private key leak
• Deposits are unaffected and operating as normal
What we've done:
• Temporarily suspended withdrawals while we complete a security revamp of the withdrawal service and its related addresses
• Revoked the affected address authorizations
• Engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds
Our team hasn't stopped. We're working closely with law enforcement to ensure the matter is handled appropriately - and I'll share what I can, as soon as I can.

This is a 4th perspective of the base case presented already on 3W, 1M and 2M, this time on the weekly.
The price in the cloud chops both according to Ichimoku Theory and in practice as you see.
So the most likely scenario is the exciting PA in red for at least half a year ahead. Of course this is a very rough drawing, it simply means chop in the cloud, with potentially some fakeouts around it.
72K to 92K is the main range channel but can't write off even low 100s and even that wouldn't be a bull market yet.
Unless we see a clear invalidation on the 2M close levels presented in the main forecast, I would ignore all the noise of bullish calls for the next months and stick to the old plan step by step: nitter.cf/DoctorCatX/status/2110…
October 2026 to close below $94,181
December 2026 to close below $107,164
February 2027 to close below $108,268
April 2027 to close below $109,554
June 2027 to close below $87,496
I think that it will be very boring time to watch the price but a lot of people on Twitter will keep calling for higher every day so they can boost their followers and earn more money from Discord and Patreon while their TA skills are close to zero.
Eventually after 9+ months the bull market will most likely start and they will say "I told you".
No need to waste your time listening to them in the meanwhile, in my humble opinion.
I don't have Discord and Patreon so in the meanwhile I will keep hard working at McDonald's.

You heard it from the second person on Crypto Twitter who can read Ichimoku charts.
Yes there are only two of us.
Read the pinned tweet and don't fall into dumb traps.
The only characteristic of the kumo AT THE PRICE that matters in the present moment is the kumo thickness.
Everything else which concernes the current PA, including kumo color, slope, crosses: is in the future kumo.
By the moment the price gets to it, it is old irrelevant information from 26 periods in the past.
You don't even need to read Hosoda to understand that this is common sense.
If you take into account the information at the current kumo that's the same as if you look at MAs 26 candles in the past - this is completely irrelevant old information.
Replying to @DoctorCatX
I attest to this.
Many people make that assumption at first.
Completely irrelevant.
Don't be ignorant like him, learn Ichimoku from the pinned tweet.
The kumo color below or above the candles is completely irrelevant for being bullish or bearish.
What matters is that kumo color in the future.
Replying to @mansasuma
Always find it funny when the thesis one tries to project is invalidated on the very chart he is trying to make an argument with
3W Kumo was red, Bitcoin didn´t give a shit and rallied
Not to mention the 3W Kumo is currently green, not red
It took @CredibleCrypto 8 hours to get me from 13K to 13.9K followers.
8 months later I got from 13.9K to 14K.
I'm superstitious so it really bothers me that the second number starts with 13.
@CredibleCrypto this time I need your help

I've discovered that Don is so naturally talanted in reading the market that he is very rarely wrong on high timeframes.
And the very few times I can confidently tell he's wrong is when Ichimoku shows that in a very obvious way.
So I've figured that if you use Don + Ichimoku you can get virtually 100% accuracy. Most of the time when he confirms what Ichimoku hints for for you become even more confident in Ichimoku, let's say from 70% to 99%.
And the very rare occasions when he's wrong I've noticed that normally Ichimoku screams with full confidence that he's wrong. For some reason, exactly when he's wrong, the Ichimoku chart has always given the highest levels of certainty against him.
My bet is that now he will be wrong.
No bull market on the monthly for months ahead is what Ichimoku is telling me. As covered with so many arguments on so many timeframes in multiple posts recently.
I hope so badly to be wrong this time so I can finally quit my job at McDonald's. But I doubt it.

Apparently the @memeland MVP which I sold for 130K USD / 56 ETH in 2023 is now worth 1.4K USD / 0.59 ETH.
I may suck at a lot of things but at least once I sold the top before a 99% dump.
Sending blessings to all the Memeland permabulls who were trolling me back then.
And double blessings to the person who paid me 130K for this JPEG whoever they are.
$BTC Bitcoin - Update
The price is struggling too bad on the daily, the last bullish TK cross never got validated and now there is a bearish one.
Of course, $ETH looks even worse and no surprise as it also looked worse weeks ago, as posted previously.
For this reason, in the realtively short term, the expectation for fresh highs after the 12th of October and 92-93K is shifted from default expectation to best-case scenario.
Some pathetic moonboys in the comment section suddenly started to turn aggressive and to expect an immediate bull run, which is exactly the opposite of what Ichimoku indicates.
Probably they are the ones who missed to buy the bottom and finally bought here so I guess some cool off may be needed to shake them off. Whether it's price- or time-based.
Mid term it's quite hard to evaluate as the price is inside the weekly kumo where it becomes very chaotic. And as already posted multiple times, the default expectation for more than half a year ahead is range/chop on very high timeframes.
The the upside while 93K remains a reasonable border of that range but to the downside it's more difficult to evaluate for me, at least for now.
$BTC Bitcoin
If the 82K high is taken the market is expected to keep pumping minimum to 89.5K and to top on the weekly no earlier than the 12th of October.
The next major weekly cycle low is scheduled between the 9th of November and 13th of December.

To be more precise, the current expectations are:
October 2026 to close below $94,181
December 2026 to close below $107,164

Based on the same logic which on the 1st of March correctly forecasted that April would close above $70,202: May 2027 should close below $87,496.
This is based on the assumption that the 2M timeframe has started to build a bearish cycle of Kyushu Ashi candles with a minimum cycle duration 7=9-2 candles.
This is in line with my base case scenario which I've already shared roughly: 1+ year of range before the bull market begins.
We could consider an invalidation if December 2026 closes above 99.8K (CS gets above the candle high on the monthly) or if we get another bullish KA candle on the 2M chart breaking the current bearish cycle.
$BTC Bitcoin - Update
OK it paused a bit lower than that at $87,373.
Normally when it goes very close to resistance without touching it and consolidates below it, it blasts through resistance when it tests it.
In any case these are small details, this bullish move is expected to go at least to 92K and at least till the 12th of October as already explained.
The amount of people asking for a retrace is mind-blowing, I can sense the same situation as April 2025 when everyone was asking the same and the market kept going up without retracing.
$BTC Bitcoin
The first meaningul pause should not come before 87.9K (the monthly Kijun).
But even if it comes it should be just a pause... we have a long way to go till the 12th of October.
So far seems a bit too fast of a pump for now as we target 92K-93K.
I'm very curious to see how this unfolds.
