Worth paying attention to this angle.

Plenty of traders are drawing parallels between current conditions and early 2022—and honestly, the chart patterns do show resemblance. But here's the thing: surface-level similarities don't tell the whole story.

Back in 2022, we hit the bottom under very different macro conditions. The market structure then, the liquidity landscape, even the participant composition—all fundamentally different from now. Looking at just the chart shape while ignoring these bigger picture variables? That's how you get blindsided.

The candles might rhyme, but the narrative underneath has shifted. Context matters more than pattern matching in markets.
