    Ethereum seems to be one of the more consistent coins in it's pattern. Thru most of 2017 while bullish it would repeatedly dip below previous support immediately to rebound. This made entries easy on the down turn once it dropped below support with a strong upswing anticipated after. As of late it's kept some of these overall properties, but is a little harder to find worthwhile entries and exits on due to the overall liquidity it's reached at this stage in the game. However if you watch the pattern you will see ETH is notorious for large impulses, and these make great indicators for where in the chart you are currently. If you follow along from these impulses you'll see that Eth has a very difficult time maintaining price after reaching new highs for long periods. Almost every ATH is followed by a very dramatic correction. Two GIANT M's in the middle of the circles shown are great examples in this pattern of this. Utilize the clear repeats of these to gauge an entry/exit.

      Here You can see how the patterns on BTC as well. As the pattern's change, a trend changes. We used to refer to these as Grim Reapers when some of the first consistent patterns were introduced to the market shortly after futures were released. There was an incredible consistency to repeat likely brought on by new algorithms introduced, but it legit looked like it was an effort to draw them on the charts because sometimes it was so clear that a head and shoulder pattern (hood) and a scythe would follow. I wouldn't put too much stake in using the patterns to trade off from, as it's a bit of a ten thousand foot view. But it can help you understand if the coin is bullish or bearish, or if you're in a trap, and it can help you gauge where you're heading overall as the pattern likes to finish before creating a new one of a new size. If you look long enough, you'll see all these patterns are patterns inside patterns as well. It doesnt guarantee repetition of them of course, but when it doesnt repeat, you can bet theres a change in overall behavior or trend.
