Maybe it'll just take a little longer than we expect?

Pure speculation here based on select bar patterns and pitchfork that sees a lot of confluence in support, resistance, and speed of cycles.

Theoretical picture of what it looked like if it forms the big C&H, and heads upward. In this scenario, the bull run looks delayed by a couple of months against what people are generally saying about the end of the year, with a big runup to follow mid 2019.

Let's see if the guesswork ends up happening.
