Look at the history of several other charts to find out where the origin of major reversals tends to start. I'll add in the comments why this MS&MA/EMA confluence is one of my oldest go to systems Numerous other coins have printed this exact setup recently and the price typically accelerates after this pivot reclaim/break happens. Instead of scaling in when the price goes down, scale in at a concentrated major pivot/zone, then gradually add size on the way up (add to winners), let your swing trade run and scale out gradually on the way up Most get this backwards by adding to losers, then nuke everything in a single order early in the trend, and it continues to go much higher It might seem counterintuitive and confusing waiting to buy higher or waiting to short lower. But what you're actually trying to do is provide yourself with a clear invalidation point (so you immediately know where to cut the trade if wrong) and have the trend on your side so dips get eaten up if you're long (so you can trail your stop loss behind trending moving averages) You could spend weeks/months dcaing/accumulating in what you believe to be the range low bottom, just for it to roll over and fall down another leg. Then you potentially become a forced seller or a bag holder, hence the importance of waiting for the trend pivot. You can still capture a significant portion of the move by not catching the bottom/lows If you want to maximise capital efficiency and reduce time holding dead weight for weeks/months while everything around you takes off. I'd consider giving this a look Spend less time following your own coin bias and trying to 'accumulate' or 'nail the bottom' and focus on what is actually moving. Following strength is more important than ever due to the sheer amount of saturation there is in the market Sitting and waiting for your favourite coin to move is generally negative EV if the chart/trend says otherwise If you want to supercharge this setup, focus on market/narrative leaders. Let the laggards lag
