2017-2021 cycle mirrored this exact structure:

Double top → ATH retest → accumulation range → parabolic move

Most will fade this setup. Not because the pattern failed. But because watching $60K range for 9 months destroys conviction harder than any 70% dump.

Sideways kills more traders than crashes. The chop filters out weak hands before the real move.

If you survived the drawdowns but can't stomach the boredom, you're ngmi when it finally breaks.
