The Fed has restarted interest rate cuts, and the crypto market is once again at a point where it's time to seriously analyze the technicals.

Today, let's decode Bitcoin's price secrets—from the historical low in 2018 all the way to 2028. We'll use two of the simplest tools: peak volume lines and star lines. Don’t scoff at their simplicity—the simpler the tool, the clearer the essence.

Why bother digging up old records from so long ago? The answer is simple: the footprints of the big players can’t be erased. Those key price levels and massive trading volumes are real marks left by hard cash. Following these clues lets you do three things:
1. Find the truly important price supports/resistances
2. Deduce the time windows where star lines resonate
3. Let historical prices and future expectations form a closed-loop verification

**There is always only one truth in the market: the chart**

I always stick to one viewpoint—don’t be swayed by all those flashy news headlines. Retail investors get shaken out, big players accumulate, retail investors buy in, big players sell off—this logic hasn't changed for hundreds of years.

The core of investing is to grasp the most essential things. Don’t blindly believe any so-called "expert," and don’t follow anyone’s judgment without thinking. The chart talks, and price never lies.

**How did the three-wave structure of the 2021 bull market play out?**

First, look at the first wave: after topping out, the big players clearly started selling off, followed by a long period of slow decline. Then came March 12, 2020—global panic (remember, the day Bitcoin was cut in half in a single day), the market collapsed completely, and retail investors fled in panic.

That’s when something magical happened—the second wave’s bottom saw super-high volume. What does that mean? The volume at the bottom directly exceeded the volume at the top. This meant the big players were buying like crazy. When bottom volume exceeds top volume, the future naturally looks promising.

And then? The market started a violent rally...
