I think we all like the bottom of Bear cycles in the stock market.  I think that's what we are going to see with Crypto this week. Those who are still holding Crypto during this retracement, take heart, we are almost there - or at least I think we are. If you like bear bottoms, this one is for you. It should be the end of the bear market and the start of another bull run. I trade Ethereum (ETH) almost exclusively. Right now I think we are finishing wave 2 of a mini 5 wave down trend.
