While Fibonacci is just one method, its overlap with Rector’s targets creates a story that traders can follow. It gives them clear numbers to watch and simple goals to aim for as the market moves.

In 2021 the altcoin jumped 500%, pointing to $7.70 as we speak. By averaging those two, a $20 target for this season could be on their crosshair. Even with bullish charts, risks are still there.
