Technical analyst John Bollinger says Ethereum and Solana are showing bullish “W” bottom patterns and hinted that a similar setup on Bitcoin’s chart could indicate a big move for the crypto market. The “W” bottom is a bullish reversal signal that often precedes sharp upward moves. Bollinger, who invented the Bollinger Bands volatility indicator, said the formation has yet to appear on Bitcoin’s chart and told his 254k followers in an X post that it’s “Gonna be time to pay attention soon.” Pseudonymous trader and analyst “Satoshi Flipper” observed in an X post that the last time Bollinger told his followers to pay attention was in July 2024, when Bitcoin went on to skyrocket from $49K to $110K.
