There’s a specific altcoin I’ve been watching for months. It had been forming a weekly falling wedge — a long, grinding downtrend with decreasing volume. It wasn’t exciting, but the structure was textbook. I started accumulating slowly near the bottom of the wedge. My risk was clearly defined, and I was patient. A few days ago, volume exploded, and price broke out of the wedge cleanly. Within 48 hours, the coin jumped 40%. This trade felt like a reward for patience and understanding of structure. So many traders overlook higher timeframes, chasing every spike on the 5-minute chart. But big moves often come from slow, structured formations on the daily and weekly charts. This trade reinforced that. Now I allocate part of my portfolio to long-term technical setups and let them play out. It’s less stressful and often more rewarding. Patience isn’t just a virtue — it’s a strategy.
