To me at least, this is the Basic outline I look for in any bullish move forward. Apart from a typical pattern breakout, Ethereum in particular is only just retesting its 3 year long Cup and Handle Pattern Consolidation zone.
This is nothing new. The only difference from a Macro point of view, is that the Micro patterns that we all are familiar with, recognize, and look for are never as terrifying or drastic in comparison.
I believe that is a very common overlook for everyone. People sometimes get so caught up on what we want to see or what we have been lead to see that we forget what we always see.
But this is just a thought. Perhaps I too am caught up on what I am hoping to find. Only time will tell.
