As humans we Look for similarities and repetition from a young age; it is a natural learning process which enables us develop skill and knowledge.
I have taken this simple rule and cloned the two most common moving averages - 50 and 100. It has enabled me to filter out the noise of the market which makes this current move look similar to the one my RED arrow is pointing too. However using Support and resistance, BTC dominance and this swish MA clone - the current move checks out to be very similar to the opposing purple box. The green line above was my short entry, cause ripple sucks.
I may be wrong, i've never worked on a trading desk and the first time i looked at a chart was in october however something smells like a trap here.
