We seem to have missed one step from 2014's correction (most likely because of the number of shorts and how people picked up on this trend, as well as bouncing off the log support). This may mean the end of the bear market here and now and a new pattern developing, but so far we seem to be repeating 2014's action. The % equivalent lows would be 8100 (perhaps after going up to 9050) and 7800 (perhaps after bouncing back to 8850 first), but we have 1. a trendline we had just broken, 2. log support, and 3. EMAs holding us where we are for now (though note that EMAs now are actually lower than they were back then). One way or another, be patient, and if you're losing, HODL mid-term, you should be back up by mid May no matter what. And have some fiat/stablecoins ready to rebuy the dips, even small amounts. Alts should be spiking.
We could then have a double top around 9700, like in Feb-Mar 2018, we could go to 10800 first and 11500 (which also happen to be fib levels, counted from the 6500 low), just before dropping hard like in the 2014 parallel that I highlighted here, or there might be a new bullish pattern, but this market does not feel properly bullish just yet (apart from alts, most likely to profit from the Consensus event in mid-May). One thing is certain: there will be surprises.
I still have a separate bullish mid/long-term idea (published privately for now and comparing different periods), I may publish it if it proves to have some value in this market. For now, I'm cautuious again, after FOMO'ing a bit too much, like many of us.
Thanks to hkh222 and SpectreX for discussing this with me.
