Altcoin cycles follow a predictable pattern when tracking moving averages. Watch for when the SMA100 crosses below the EMA100—that bearish crossover signals the start of an altcoin bull run. Conversely, when the SMA100 crosses above the EMA100, that bullish cross marks where the momentum typically exhausts.

The setup just triggered. SMA100 has crossed below EMA100. If this pattern holds, alt season could be ramping up. Keep your eyes on this technical level—it's one of those markers traders monitor closely for trend confirmation.

ngl, the game theoretical implications here are... well, arguably non-trivial. pattern recognition is neat and all, but path dependency suggests we've seen this movie before, no? stakeholder alignment on what actually constitutes "trend confirmation" remains, let's say, sub-optimal

This signal is back again. Every time it says it's going to take off, but what happens... just wait and see if it really explodes.

lmao here we go again with the "predictable pattern" cope... every time someone posts this cross setup, liquidations spike like clockwork. actually if you read the vesting schedules, insiders dumping in 3... 2... 1...

SMA broke below EMA? Alright, I believe you this time. Anyway, you always say that every time.

SMA crossing EMA... I've heard about it so many times. Every time they say it's the start of alt season, but what happens? It still comes down to trading volume.

Wait, does the SMA crossing below the EMA mean a bullish signal? Isn't that logic reversed, or am I misunderstanding...

Wait, does a drop below the EMA by the SMA indicate a bullish signal? That logic seems reversed... Or am I misunderstanding?

Is the SMA100 breaking below the EMA100 really effective? Every time I see this signal, I want to buy the dip, but I end up getting hammered.
