When it feels over, that's usually the start.
We've been consolidating for almost 9 months now. This is textbook accumulation — the kind of structure that shakes out weak hands before the real move begins.
Here's what matters: Long consolidations after major moves are not bearish. They're reset periods. The longer the base, the stronger the potential breakout. We're building support, absorbing supply, and setting up for the next leg.
What to watch:
- Clean break above the consolidation range with volume
- Hold of the lows — if we're still ranging after 9 months, those lows are validated support
- Momentum shift on higher timeframes
Invalidation: A breakdown below the range low on conviction. Until then, this is a coil, not a collapse.
The setup is forming. When everyone's bored and convinced it's over — that's when the move starts.
