Chart is self-explanatory. I could really just post that picture and "BTFD" as a one-word explanation.
Pretty much everyone, myself included, has been drawing the channel wrong for a month because there was no second touch of the bottom. In the past 24 hours there was - and now the channel makes so much more sense. We didn't break it at 9750 at all. We've always been in it. We're still in it. We're in fact at the bottom of it at the best point to buy.
Accumulation has occurred throughout the entire month. Our detour of the past week shows clear reaccumulation in OBV and Accumulation/Distribution when you zoom in, and it's dramatically clearer if you filter out the shenanigans (single minute pumps and dumps).
In retrospect, I should have given more thought to what it meant that the crazy stop hunt wick violated the previously unviolated channel bottom, because you can draw clear lines through that and other wicks to exactly where we found support here. That was probably the best clue to start looking for new channels, though explaining the apparent violation at the top also should have played that role.
I suspect that a lot of people will start posting this channel, and assuming it's as real as it looks, it may find itself suddenly broken. Patterns get more expensive to adhere to if people start countertrading correctly. It's a new month after all.
I'm an amateur and you definitely shouldn't take anything I say as financial advice. I'm interested in any feedback.
