Looking back at the period from 2015 to 2016, ETH was indeed not favored when it first launched. Mainstream opinions were either mocking or indifferent, and no one predicted the subsequent epic rally of 50x.

The current situation is quite interesting. The volatility between ETH and BTC has been pushed to historic extreme levels, and such extreme suppression often signals something. Looking at the charts, the downward room is actually becoming more limited, and conversely, the upward potential is accumulating.

Is it possible to recreate that scene from back then? It's a question worth pondering. When market sentiment is extremely pessimistic and technical indicators are overly suppressed, it is often the most dangerous yet most opportunity-rich moment. From a technical perspective, whether ETH/BTC can break through this suppression zone at some point remains an intriguing possibility.

ETH-3,5%

BTC-2,35%

It's not the market that suppresses us, but our mentality. Who was optimistic about ETH back then, and now everyone is regretting. Will history really repeat itself? I don't know if we can catch the bottom this time, but at least the technical signals are still there. Waiting, how much longer until the breakout? I can't wait any longer. Honestly, the biggest fear isn't the decline itself, but the sideways movement lasting forever. Historical patterns sometimes prove true, sometimes they are just jokes. If you can't afford to gamble, don't gamble. Do you think this might be the last chance to catch the bottom? I'm coming clean—I actually want to hear you say it will go up.

Bro, your analysis this time is pretty intense. It really feels like we've been holding back for too long; it's time to release.

Ha, it's the same old story. Those who blackened ETH back then have now changed their tune. --- Breaking through the suppression zone? I doubt it. History tends to repeat itself but never exactly. --- Honestly, I've heard about volatility limits so many times, and in the end, nothing really happens. --- Accumulating potential energy? Come on, it's just sideways trading. Why make it sound so profound? --- The 50x dream hasn't woken up yet, and now they're starting to get emotional again. --- It's quite interesting. Let's see if this time can really break the deadlock, better than just talking on paper. --- The technical aspect has some points, but execution is king. This is the most easily overlooked. --- Is the market's despair truly despair or just pretending? That's the key. --- But to be honest, opportunities to be collectively bearish are becoming increasingly rare. --- Reminds me of the prophets in 2015 who said "Ethereum will die." It's really laughable.

If this wave can break through the resistance zone, how many times would it need to catch up to match the madness of that year?

Sharpening the blade, just waiting for the moment when this suppression finally breaks the level

Repressing for a long time can indeed lead to a rebound, but to be honest, no one can say for sure if this time is really that moment. History doesn't repeat itself exactly; it's just that the rhyme scheme is similar.

Breakouts often happen in an instant, and history tends to repeat itself.

It's all pushed to the limit; either an explosion or a blast. Let's take a gamble—anyway, it'll happen sooner or later.
