Since October 10th, Bitcoin's been climbing more often than it's been falling. The ups come steady and gradual—like taking the stairs. But when drops happen? They hit fast and hard—like an elevator plummeting. That's the pattern traders are watching right now.

Climbing up the stairs and taking the elevator down, this wave of market action is quite thrilling. Making money slowly when it's good, but losing everything in a flash when it's bad—it's just ridiculous.
