The 5 Oct 2025 To 16 February 2026 45-46% Bitcoin in USD Crash Precedes the Global Equity Crash

In the Asset Debt Macroeconomy the valuation of individual asset classes are denominated in the summation valuation of all other classes including debt instruments: sovereign, non financial and financial corporate, and private debt. Out of the 346 trillion dollars of global collective debt, The US has about 102 trillion.

When non-debt assets are overvalued relative to the underlying collective consumer base economy {after consumers pay for the necessary and inflating activities of daily living(including accumulated debt)}, and consumers can no longer collectively expand their balance sheet thru further debt expansion, generic product demand falls, businesses fail, lower quality corporate debt undergoes default, unemployment grows, and the system’s asset prices fall.

The global composite equity index ACWI peak valuation was on 11 February 2026. Crypto currencies as represented by bitcoin in USD peaked on 5 Oct 2025 at about 126,350 and are currently on 16 Feb 2026 at about 68-69000, a 45-46% drop from peak valuation.

The current daily fractal decay model from 20 November 2025 for Bitcoin in USD which trades 7 days a week including holidays and for the ACWI global equity index which trades 5 days a week less US equity holidays have merged with an expected crash nadir low for ACWI on Friday 10 April 2026 and for Bitcoin in USD on (Saturday) 11 April 2026.

The 10 April 2026 initial crash nadir completes a 27 Oct 2023 3-phase 120/243/254 day :: y/2-2.5y/2-2.5y peak and decay fractal series.

The 10 April 2026 initial crash nadir completes a 27 Oct 2023 3-phase 120/243/254 day :: y/2-2.5y/2.5y (2X’ 214 day peak valuation and) crash decay fractal series.

For the 255 day 7 April 2025 3rd Fractal of this 27 Oct 2023 120/243/254-255 day peak growth and initial crash decay series, a 7 April 2025 53/107/97 days :: y/2-2.5y/2-2.5y’ 3 phase peak valuation growth and initial crash decay series will be completed on 10 April 2026.

Fractal self assembly of the 1st and 2nd Fractal above is shown below:

1982 to 2026 1st and 2nd Fractal 13/33 Year Terminal 27 Oct 2023 Daily Fractal Growth and 27 Oct 2023 Initial Daily Fractal Crash Decay

The crypto class peaked in Oct 2025 following a 2015 GBTC proxy 41/83 month :: x/2x+ peak valuation 1st and 2nd Fractal Cycle with a 45-60% crypto asset class devaluation since the peak representing a trillion dollar plus loss of valuation. With the anti-institutional policies and the weakening of the American hegemony, terminal global money has flowed into gold and silver with over a 100 % appreciation for silver in less than 50 trading days and thereafter a one day flash crash on 30 Jan 2026 of 35%. ACWI, the global equity composite registered a all-time high valuation on 11 February 2026.

Considering the US contracting consumer economy underpinning US and global growth, has the summation valuation of all asset classes already reached its integrated peak? Or will new debt following AI’s allurement be created at a rate necessary to propel further summation asset valuation growth?

The 13/33 year 1982 1st and 2nd fractal series are composed of 51-52/126 of 128-130 quarters. The current 126 quarters is composed of two fractal subseries: a 1994 10/25/25 quarter 3-phase series :: x/2.5x/2.5x fractal series ending in Mar 2009 and a 11-12/29-30/30 quarter :: maximum 3-phase x/2.5x/2.5x growth fractal series ending Jan-March 2026. The final 30 quarter 3rd fractal of the March 2009 11-12/29-30/30 quarter fractal series is composed of a 6/12/14 quarter :: x/2x/2.5x fractal subseries starting in Dec 2018 with the first 6 quarters ending with an aberrant low (below the trend line)in Mar 2020 caused by the 15% Covid related unemployment.

Below is the SPX quarterly fractal series as of Nov 2025.

US Equity to GDP ratio’s are near all time high at about 223%.

Global equity may have peaked on 11 Feb 2026 with 27 Oct 2023 self-assembled fractal growth: a 3-phase 120/243/213 day :: x/2x/(2x’+) fractal growth series which concludes with a 27 Oct 2023 120/243/254 day :: y/2y+/2y+ initial decay series.

The Current 1982 to 2026 Lammert SPX Fractal Model

Cryptocurrencies reached a GBTC EFF proxy 41/83 month :: x/2x maximum fractal peak valuation in Oct 2025 under the umbrella of the SPX and global equities 1982 13/33 year :: x/2.5x maximum fractal growth peak. Peak asset class valuations within the macroeconomic asset-debt system have been stretched thru optimal conditions: financial engineering and recent cherry-on-top private debt financing, 25 years of more than 10 trillion dollars of corporate buy-backs, 25 years of outsourcing of Americn manufacturing to foreign labor and foreign countries for lower cost and higher American corporate profit, 2009 QE bail-out money printing to banking and financial institutions, and 15-11% GDP deficit COVID spending in 2020 and 2021, respectively, accompanied by low interest rate mortgage-backed securities and out right money printing to sway the 2020 election with citizens, many who received checks (with the then president’s signature) greater than their real salaries.

The global peak of the system’s composite asset valuations has already occurred.

There may be additional 2026 peaks in composite equities and gold and silver from rotational money, but the SPX 13/33 year 1982 cycle will end in a same year, 2026, with a historically dv/dt2 severe collapse of all non sovereign debt asset class valuations.
