The astounding similarity of ETH bearmarket 2018 and BTC in 2014 

Ethereum / DollarBitfinex

Description

I stumbled upon this fractal similarity which is quite amazing in its really high degree of similar behaviour.

We can see that all the areas denoted with 1-4 are matching almost exactly.

So whtat does this mean for the future behaviour?
It would mean that we'll see a slow climb in Nov/Dec, a sharp sell-off in January at point A, which could fit, because historically January has not been a good month for BTC and alts.

Then, a rally in March, and then the subsequent slow start of the next bullrun, which as we know builds up very slowly, so I assume the peak in this scenario would be in 2021.

I am still remaining neutral though, because first, BTC must break the logarithmic resistance for me to see this scenario as a very high probability scenario.
But it certainly is a probable scenario. This means that we are seeing the bottom right now, and we'll basically have a few more months of boring sideways, until the next bullrun peaks up steam
in mid to end of 2019.

Comment

I should also add that this indirectly would imply a stable phase of bitcoin. Because ETHUSD mostly follows BTCUSD, the above scenario can only work if Bitcoin acts correspondingly. Let's see if it will :)

Comment

If however, BTC takes the route to a low of 3k in 2019, as I have been suspecting since early this year, then of course this fractal is invalidated. Because let's be brutally realistic here: ETH is following BTC. And you can do the math how low ETHUSD will go if BTC indeed goes to 2-3k area in a few months.
ETHUSD will have a low of around 50 USD.

I am a bit confused. Bitcoin and ETH are correlated as close as .95 (almost 1 to 1) which would be a beta of 1, since November 2015. I am not acquainted with fractal study's or analysis. Interesting though.

Oh God. I feel for it for a minute. You're comparing Apples and Oranges.

@fakhan, Wrong. The underlying mass market / herd psychology doesn't change in different markets. Especially crypto markets show a very similar behavior.

@fakhan, LOL WRONG, it would be comparing a green apple to a red apple if anything... comparing an apple to orange would be more like comparing google stock to eth or btc…

going off this that would mean the ma would have to drop 1 more block and almost cross the next one... that means price would cross the ma around 250-260 hit 300 then drop, that will make up for the lower low u have at 130... this means it will make a higher low instead of a lower low so the drop from 300 would prob put us back around 200 before the bullrun
tradewithmefx
@tradewithmefx, and to add, I see it hitting support at 250 when it hits 300 and us starting the rest of the btc trend from there
tradewithmefx
@tradewithmefx, bullrun starting at 250

@tradewithmefx, Thanks for your Analysis. Yes, i agree, I also see it that way. It would be fascinating if this really came true. Would let fractals shine in a whole new light. 200-300 USD Range for ETH now, same as for BTC a few years ago. Exciting Times!

@FlaviusTodorius67, i started following this same idea a couple months ago once eth hit its current low of 167...which was very close to bitcoin's 2015 low of $166 (depending what exhange you look at). If a fib extension is used...its possible that $24,000 could be the next ATH for eth...in late 2021.
SebastianofMoon
@kenzboard, Yeah, as insane as it sounds, 24k as a top for ETH could happen in 2021. BTC at around 200K, makes ETH at around 20-30k a realisitic target.
