Ultimately, after this massive crash, the maximum pain scenario is up. The markets were grinding up already and I think that these will resume. That's why I think that #Altcoins are the play. $ETH is the play. Risk-on is the play.

ETH Showed strength during the crash. I'm now more bullish on ETH. But if we look at price objectively, bearish market structure with lower highs and lower lows is forming. So my preferred play (if we lose FBA) is a breakdown targeting $3360K....
