ETHSUSD: The next few 12hs or days are unironically critical

BITFINEX:ETHUSD   Ethereum
I have already gone over price manipulation and tether and my belief that the high volume event that started this rally was a serious commitment to either propping up the price or starting a new uptrend. Here we see if there is enough commitment. We see that ETHUSD does a fairly good job of respecting overhead resistance when in a falling channel/wedge but a break out has to occur at some point, or we will dip and again bump against overhead resistance.

We still have the daily MACD attempting a bullish cross. We can see that in the past that has not lead to a sustained uptrend and last time the RSI was capped at 50, we ground against resistance for a few days and then we fell off, lead by the declining stochastic RSI. I am going to be watching the RSI and Stochastic RSI following the upcoming MACD bullish cross and I am going to want to see a few proud candles above the declining log resistance line before I feel completely in the clear, despite whatever commitment the volume showed a few days ago.

It is comfortable to see that the last time we tested the log resistance line volume was dropping and this time volume is increasing. I also hope to see volume either at a sustained level or increasing if/when we break this log resistance line and the Stochastic RSI run across the top and the RSI get to over-bought conditions. Depending what I am seeing I might tighten my stop losses to protect my gains from $505 but a lot of that is SWAGing anyway.
Comment:
Cautiously optimistic that we stopped the slide. We didn't even get to oversold on the 30m RSI and we seem to have a series of higher lows on the 45m RSI that will hopefully hold until ETHUSD gets oversold again. You can see that we are hoping the last leg up will inform this leg up. I am hoping that this slide ends up being a shadow on a green candlestick.
The red lines indicate some slight bearish divergence on the 45m chart. I don't think we have too much to be worried about until we start seeing it on higher time frames like the 2h or 4h, like we did when I called the local bottom (similar to this)
My holding right now is almost entirely based on the commitment with the 2h volume spike I saw to begin upleg and the fact we just had several strong days with the daily MACD chart having a decisive bullish cross. I have been bearish and shorting so long and I am hoping I am seeing through the tether manipulation correctly. Not trading advice for anyone (especially without a ravenous risk appetite, if you have that then I am not responsible anyway).

And I promise every Floridian that you will all be rich... because we're gonna print some more money! Why didn't anybody ever think of this before?
