After two weeks of declines, my X metrics are on the rise again. Impressions went up 33 percent in the last seven days.Other metrics that went up this week include:Profile visits rose 13 percentMetrics that declined include:Engagement rate fell 15 percentNow, for the raw numbers:Impressions = 922Impressions and EngagementsImpressions started on a strong foot with 314 on Tuesday, July 16. They fell precipitously through July 19 and have climbed a little bit more since then. The drop from the 16th through the 19th is due to me getting busy and not posting as often as I would have liked. Likes saw a similar trajectory, although not quite as pronounced. Engagements were strong for a couple of days at the beginning of the week, then dropped off. Here's what Impressions and Engagements look like side by side. Here's a look at a comparison between new followers and profile visits over the last 7 days. As you can see, my metrics are beginning to make a climb again.

The crypto market is rich with anticipation. We know a bull run is forthcoming and many market participants are waiting for it to happen any day now. But when?If we examine the past three bitcoin halvings and their associated bull runs, we can predict with some confidence when the market will begin to climb after the fourth bitcoin halving, which occurred on April 20, 2024.I recently looked back at the first three halvings to see when the first price lift occurred after the halving, those price lifts, of course, precipitating the bull run that followed. Here's what I found.First Bitcoin Halving and Crypto Bull RunThe first bitcoin took place in 2012. The exact date was November 28. However, the bull run didn't occur until several months later. In fact, the first price lift that led into the bull run occurred on April 11, 2013. What this tells us is that a bull run typically follows the halving, but not immediately. The first price spike leading into a crypto bull run occurred 4-1/2 months after the first bitcoin halving. We can get into the details about what other events occurred around that time to influence the bull run, but that isn't my point here. I'm simply looking at the timeline.The first crypto bull run began approximately 4-1/2 months after the first bitcoin halving.Second Bitcoin Halving and Crypto Bull RunThe second bitcoin halving occurred in 2016 followed by the second crypto bull run later that year. As you can see from the following chart, the bull run's first price lift occurred approximately 5-1/2 months after the halving. Third Bitcoin Halving and Crypto Bull RunThe third bitcoin halving is legendary. We saw bitcoin's price go to a new all-time high. However, that didn't occur until many months after the third halving.The third bitcoin halving took place on May 11, 2020. The first price lift occurred on August 10, 2020, three months after the halving.![](
