#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 Lately, I keep revisiting the market action from 2022. The market was really tough back then—first, it dragged on with a slow decline and consolidation, taking a long time just to drop 50%, then finally caught a breath and formed a bottom, followed by a 46% rebound. Looking back now, the volatility back then was definitely much wilder than it is now.



Interestingly, a lot of tokens were also heavily oversold during that period.

The reason I keep studying that price movement is mainly because the price structures are really similar. This time, the pullback was only 36%—not as brutal—but the structural resemblance is high. If we simply extrapolate, and this round follows a similar fractal pattern, the rebound target is likely around 108K.

There’s a detail worth noting: both times, the market was suppressed by a long-term descending trendline, and meaningful rebounds only started after breaking above that line.

Based on these observations, I’ve adjusted my strategy—not in a rush. I plan to watch it oscillate and rebound first, and only consider going for a long-term short or setting up a grid strategy after the price can really hold above 100K.

Back in 2022, I got burned by a false breakout; I went in heavy, only to be forced to cut my losses, and it really hurt. This time, history might not repeat itself exactly, but after a trend finishes, the market usually enters a large range-bound phase—that pattern should still hold.

Looking back at 2022 again, can it really be repeated this time? Honestly, I have my doubts. Only dare to make a move above 100K, playing it safe. The nightmare of cutting losses in 2022 must have been really deep, still have to be cautious now. Just because the structure is similar, immediately pushing for 108K—this logic feels a bit like gambling to me. Let’s wait for the consolidation to finish, there’s really no rush anyway.

I was there for that wave in 2022 as well. Looking at the charts now definitely gives me a bit of déjà vu, but I still don't dare to bet on 108K. I feel like breaking 100K is the real hurdle.

I was there during that 2022 wave too, went in heavy and got cut in half right away. Looking at the current trend, it does feel similar, but I just don't dare to gamble now. 108K sounds pretty wild, but breaking through that trendline is the real key. Without that confirmation signal, I really won't make a move. I'll wait until it holds above 100K. I've learned my lesson this time; I've had enough of those fake breakouts. Fractal logic sounds professional, but the market never follows the textbook—just take it as a reference. If it really hits 108K, I’ll have to take a good look at whether it’s a real rebound or just another round of bag-holding. No rush. Compared to that forced selling feeling back in 2022, patience is worth a lot more now. I'll only make a move if the trendline breaks. Otherwise, it’s just carrying water for the whales—I've learned that trick by now.

I was there during that 2022 wave too, cutting losses so much that I started to question my life. Now, looking at 108K seems a bit conservative.

That 2022 wave was really exhausting. Looking at the fractals now is pretty interesting, but I wonder if this time will be different. It feels like the market isn't as crazy as before. 108K sounds nice, but I'm worried it's just another illusion. Better to wait and see, don't want to repeat past mistakes. Wait, about that trend line breakout you mentioned—do you really think it will break this time? I always feel like we end up getting schooled again and again. Playing with grids is fine, but shorts are too scary. After all, no one can predict what the SEC will pull next. Honestly, that cut I took in 2022 still hurts. It's definitely right to be more cautious this time.

108K? I don't think that's very likely. The 2022 wave was different; the environment has completely changed.
