The advantage is not any single layer.

It is the integration across all of them."

There are two scenarios, in my case.

1 - The correction has ended and we're breaking upwards, and in that case, it clearly needs to break through $1.68 and preferably even $1.77.

2 - The correction isn't over"

The narrowing price action at the bottom of the wedge visually supports the post's claim of a tightening squeeze that could lead to a bullish breakout.

That’s exactly why I care now.

Price is sitting on long-term support while the upside map is ridiculous:

$8.90 → key level

$20.64 → ATH territory

That’s roughly +1,200% from here.
