Daily market observation: There's something that keeps showing up across different asset classes.
Whenever an asset breaks free from a long consolidation—whether it's months or years of sideways trading—it suddenly becomes the most obvious play. Everyone spots it at the same time.
Look at metals as a perfect example. Gold and silver have a history of sitting under decade-old resistance levels for ages. Then one day they finally smash through, and suddenly the trade is crystal clear. The same pattern shows up in crypto. Bitcoin's long-term breakouts, altcoin explosions after years of dormancy—the mechanics are identical.
The interesting part isn't predicting *when* it happens. It's recognizing that once it does, the move tends to be significant. The market was just waiting for someone to flip the switch.

The moment of breaking through was truly amazing; everyone saw the same signal, as if they all suddenly had an epiphany.

That means when that moment comes, the reaction will be too slow, and you won't be able to get any meat anymore.

Wait, does that mean everyone is looking at the same signal? Doesn't that mean it's already late?

Basically, it's just waiting for that moment, but the question is how not to get caught in it.

actually, this is just describing herd behavior wrapped in technical analysis language. once that resistance breaks, everyone's already priced in the obviousness—that's literally when the smart money exits tbh
