Capitulation ongoing: announced by Hash Ribbons and MA20/W - MA100/W "death cross" few days ago and now confirmed.
Bottom fishing is pointless.

This is a simple zoom (TF 3D) in of the original post, with the first arrow:
Basically reached the first target area.
Still i struggle to see volume, so caution is needed.
Current volume so far looks not enough for an extension (second arrow) and there's a risk of a mere technical pullback unless a further push moves volume.
Be cautious from here onwards.

From here, as ETH, it *MAY* have a chance of a further challenge of resistance, given daily RSI is not yet overbought. Not granted though. Failing that bias would stay bearish, as long as divergence insists.
More sideways would likely increase chances of a slump or a failed high.
All this said, watch out for triangle breakout.
It's likely to ignite a high volatility phase.

Anyway, let's get back to the OP post and see the progress so far:
It's pretty surprising price is STILL on the exact trajectory forecasted almost 2 month ago. It means a good part of this movement is basically technical.
Now it's likely to DIVERGE from that second arrow, as market actor scramble due to trend uncertainty.
What's important is to TEST the upper bound of that wedge somewhere, that's next meaningful event. The sooner the better, but it's up to market ro decide.

Macro scenario assessment: monthly close at about 19,4k was sufficient to keep somewhat afloat of support, yet nothing more than decent.
Like kicking a can down the road.
It's a missed opportunity, because just a few hundred dollars (e.g. 20,1k) would have made a pretty substantial difference here.
Anyway, short term we stilll have a further opportunity painted on D.
It all boils down to exploiting that resistance trendline on the 4th attempt. That should be achieved short term, possibly leveraging that ongoing spurious bullish divergence, given most indicators are pretty mixed or weak.
Key resistance area is about 20,1k $ on Bitcoin, 1400 $ on Ethereum.
Failing to overcome it would have consequences: while we would still retain meaningful divergences on both weekly and monthly, potentially acting as a "parachute", they would not prevent any bleeding / wicking down from support to the lower route area. Which would be pretty undesirable now, given the overall falling wedge is already approaching its apex.
Hence next 2/3 days are likely to be critical for the outcome of next few weeks.

Another observation, for those interested.
If you draw MACD VXI on 2W (a pretty high TF), you'll notice that a crossover may be inbound. Within 1-2 bars, possibly.
Why MACD VXI ? Because it's similar to plain MACD, yet less lagging. Which is a pretty important factor dealing with high timeframes.
Mind the fact that such crossover happened only six times in Bitcoin history.
*Each and every time so far it *followed* a *significant low* within 5-8 bars, confirming (worst case) a local trend reversal.
We're close already to the 8 bars limit, so i'd watch it closely.
