The formula is actually pretty simple. Macro market structures repeat across many assets, and multi-year compression patterns almost always lead to major expansion moves eventually.
Just look at $ZEC The entire explosive move on $ZEC came after nearly 8 years of compression, with price breaking out around 73% into the apex of the structure.
I’ve shown several other assets with similar setups over the years — descending triangles, falling wedges, symmetrical triangles — and the principle is always the same. The longer the compression, the larger the potential expansion once momentum finally returns.
If $ZEC can produce this kind of move after such an extended period of consolidation, imagine what could happen with other quality assets that are still trapped inside even longer compression structures.
I honestly can’t remember seeing a strong asset spend years building a macro structure without eventually producing a significant expansion phase at some point.
That’s why investing is mostly about patience. Retail usually gives up long before the real move begins. {future}(ZECUSDT)
