Interesting viewpoint and a great in-depth anaylsis, thanks for sharing. I've smashed the upvote button for you! Personally I don't think it is possible as cryptocurrency is now becoming such a global trend. It can take one catalyst that has a huge impact that nobody apart from people in the know of every political / soco-economic decision in the world.I think the most sensible trend is to use what has happened in the past to calculate trends.
