John Bollinger, the founder of bollinger bands and the reported figure of the crypto market in times of weighting, said that eherems and solana track the possible “w” bottlenecks. In a post on X on October 18, Bollinger wrote: “Possible ‘w’ bottow in bollinger band texts in ethisd and solusd, but not in btcusd.”
Possible ‘w’ bottow in bollinger band in text $ Emusd and $ Solusdbut not inside $BTCUSD. I will have time to pay attention soon I think.

EnyeReeum and Solana Price: What to watch now
The emphasis on “bollinger band values” does the heavy lifting here. In the classic bollinger taxonomy, the W Down is a two-skin reversal by holding the second low above the first, which is often accompanied by an extension of the exchange involving an extension of the previous band, and a failure to register the bottom of the band in the second leg.

The most powerful versions see the second low structure within the bands or with a good divergence against the low band, followed by the band “Pinch” and the group in the middle of the walk. Commentary of Bollinger- “Possibility” and “time of attention” -The time that, according to his framework, the recognition of the pattern precedes the confirmation of the low values and the intermediate bands that do not enter.
Update of Bollinger’s Cryptor’s Cryptary error in Signal. As Crypto trader Satoshi Flipper (@Satoshifpipper) stressed, “John Bollinger, the creator of Bollinger bands, only made 1 crypto call in 3 years until yesterday. And he once told us that sol + surrounded by three, now they are thinking about reducing this story.”
The same account that explains that the last days of the last bollinger went to September 9, 2022, notes that the FT “continued to pump from $ 1,290 to $ 4,000.” That historical indicator captures traditional market psychology: Bollinger’s irregular, technical-oriented indicators are perceived by many traders as defining a cycle.
Context from earlier this year also helps set it up. On April 10, Bollinger publicly flagged a similar structure in Bitcoin, saying: “Classic Bollinger band W down BTCusd. Still needs.” In the exact same week, BTC recorded a low of $74,508 and began to climb seven straight candlesticks, advancing almost 55%. From the Bollinger call in the first week of October, BTC has rallied more than 70%.

Market Nuance on the latest reading of Bollinger’s clear Bitcoin release. If Ethidd and solusd print types like bollinger structures words while btcusd is not, it means a temporary decline in the structure of the exchange and the relative strength. In practical terms, non-confirming Bitcoin that cannot be confirmed in later confirmation, remains stuck in the middle of the high-band churn, or fails its setup if the low-band convergence continues outside the middle band.
For Embereum and Solana, the confirmation was often seen as an intense experience above the moving average of 20 (bollinger Middle Band), followed by a guide that turns the upper band from resistance to the guide. A healthy sequence usually does not produce fast, band band band; Instead, it creates a step profile with intermediate and intermediate checks.
A failure will include another trip down the band that takes a second trough or a burst of intensity that shakes the bands out of the following bands – both signatures of the next base.
At press time, eth is trading at $4,037.
