Just an update (Jan 11th);
As we can see, the price is now testing what was a long-standing resistance line (dark green). This is completely normal. As long as the channel is not broken and the price falls outside of the blue line, everything is still pretty kosher.
This consolidation is to be regarded as quite necessary, as those who do not wish to hold are selling or reducing their positions after a wild ride. This doesn't mean the ride is over.
Worst case scenario is that the price keeps consolidating another month before it hits the support on both the green and blue line.
