Codex VIII mapped the bounce the day after the A‑bottom printed.
Codex Brief 1 mapped the breakdown the day before 80.5k snapped.
The rhythm hasn’t changed — structure keeps repeating.
Codex doesn’t predict — it timestamps structure.
And structure keeps repeating.
Back in July 2025, I published Final Wave Follow-Up — 11 Entries Taken in Silence Before the Breakout
It documented how structure spoke before sentiment, and how 11 silent entries were taken before Wave 3 ignited.
This post is the mirror version.
On Nov 27 and Dec 27, 2025, I logged a completely different rhythm:
And between Jan 30–31, 2026, I took 11 silent entries again —
but this time before the breakdown, not the breakout.
This isn’t hype.
This is archive.
These weren’t predictions.
They were structural observations.
On January 6 I wrote a reflection about sentiment vs structure — the same pattern I saw before the June 23 entries in 2025.
Back then, many were bearish while structure was bullish.
This time, many were bullish while structure showed LH risk and continuation.
In that reflection I wrote:
“When the LH prints, sentiment will be opposite of my view — just like before the Final Wave.
And afterward, the silent swing shorts will confirm the structure — just like the silent entries confirmed the Wave 2 bottom.”
One month later, that is exactly what happened.
The LH printed.
Sentiment was bullish.
And the 11 silent entries taken on Jan 30–31 confirmed the structure — just as the model anticipated.
This wasn’t hindsight.
It was rhythm repeating.
As noted in the Value Logged in Real Time, BTC topped at 98k and ETH at 3.4k — close to the LH zone mapped in Codex VIII, but never strong enough to reach the 200‑day MA discussed in Brief 1.
A classic diminishing‑returns push into resistance, aligning with the same LH‑risk structure logged since November.
| Coin | R‑Return |
|---|---|
| BTC | +6.1R |
| ETH | +6.2R |
| LINK | +3.6R |
| BNB | +4.5R |
| XRP | +3.3R |
| PEPE | +2.9R |
| SUI | +4R |
| SOL | +5.7R |
| POL | +2.5R |
| FET | +3.7R |
| ADA | +2.6R |
All aligned with the same idea:
Retest = short zone.
No breakout = no long.
Bias = swingshort > scalp longs.
No hype.
No signals.
Just structure.
Choosing to show only BTC, ETH and one ALT (SUI) — not all 11 — to keep the focus on structure rather than flex.
These positions reflect the same sequence: the second entry logged on Jan 21 in Codex Brief 1, followed by the scale‑ins taken quietly on Jan 30–31 as the breakdown unfolded exactly as outlined the day before.
No signals.
No alerts.
Just structure — executed quietly, documented publicly.
Even during relief bounces, structure remains the guide.
A bounce doesn’t invalidate the sequence — it’s part of it.
As logged on Nov 22, 2025:
“Until reclaim → treat all bounces as corrective.”
Scalp‑longs may appear during these phases — e.g like the current ADA 1hr breakout — but the broader bias remains:
swingshort > scalp long
until structure shifts on higher timeframes.
This isn’t luck.
It’s rhythm.
As BTC broke beneath the A‑bottom, the weekly ABC structure mapped in Codex VIII — and updated here — remains the cleanest visual reference for this phase.
A retest of 80.5k sits as the next structural checkpoint, and if reclaimed, the sequence extends into the 100‑week MA.
Only above that level would the broader trend conversation shift.
Until then, Codex continues to document the same bear‑phase structure that has played out consistently since late 2025.
| Phase | Date Range | Entries | Confirmation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wave 2 → Wave 3 | June 23–26, 2025 | 11 silent entries | May highs taken |
| B‑peak → C‑wave | Jan 30–31, 2026 | 11 silent entries | A‑low break + weekly momentum |
Same mechanics.
Opposite direction.
This isn’t a “look what I did” post.
It’s an archive entry showing:
Just like June 23, 2025.
Just like Sept 25–29, 2025.
Just like the Final Wave post.
Only mirrored.
Structure leads.
Sentiment follows.
Memory repeats.
