Wisdom of the Ages: Email, Jordan Peterson, and a Latte – Patheos

July 20, 2022 | Author: admin

A visual representation of the souls of my children when they start lecturing me about my failings.

I finally worked up the wherewithal to start looking at my pictures from our trip. Matt had the better idea of posting big chunks of them every Sunday and then going back offline, whereas I thought, foolishly, that I would come home and sort them and then post them systematically. I added Post Pictures to my List Of All The Things I Will Do. I got home and started working down the list. Part of my magical thinking was that if I could just get to the end of my inbox, and do all the other miscellaneous admin (thats what I call it to myself) that always sits there, like the laundry, weighing on my conscience, I would be really happy.

So, I kid you not, I did just that (less the pictures). I coped with my inbox. I went through and paid all kinds of school fees. I found my stamps and mailed my letters. Iseriously, sit down and put down your iced coffeegot to the end of my list. I crossed the last thing off on Monday night and then sat back and waited for the flood of relief and joy that I knew, as certainly as night follows day, would overwhelm me.

But nothing happened. Nothing at all, except that I looked back at my phone and found I had three new tasks magically appear in my email that I didnt even know were going to hit me. And I was just as anxious as ever. And no feelings of happiness or relief whatsoever illuminated my soul. It was a huge and terrible disappointment.

And so, in the spirit of Solomon and all his experiments in temporal joy, let me just warn you off even trying.Do Not Devote Yourself To Admin. Dont. Dont make responding to email your full-time job. Youll do it all and youll still be stressed out. I mean, Im not suggesting you not do it at all, but, as the person who wrote Deep Work said (I think), shove that baby back in the corner. Admin should be confined to a small box, like a yapping angry dog. It shouldnt be let out to wander around and take over everything. Like the laundry, which should live in its own dismal room and be shoved back in whenever it spills out or whenever anything more interesting comes along, email and other sorts of tasks should be forced back into their desolating corner in favor of more satisfying pursuits, like pulling up weeds, arguing with your children about Jordan Peterson, and trying to recreate the Coffee With Milk that you ordered once in Portugal.

Not a very good picture, I admit, but stopping to fix it is really beyond my abilities right now. To put any nice pictures here Im going to have to go back and resize everything and Im not sure how. Hopefully, it isnt as complicated as it looks. Meanwhile, as I said, my children have had a lot of things to say about Jordan Peterson. Apparently, a lot of them watched his short lecture to the church (I havent had a chance to yet) and were both bemused and incensed. For some reason, most of them are big JP fans. The oldest is working her way through his lectures on the Bible and can often be found, headphones plugged in, smiling and shaking her head. They are interesting, but, as she says, he so often misses the point. As to what the church should be doing, my children wanted to give Jordan Peterson some advice. Of course, he is right that young men are being cast off and that the church should particularly invite them in and affirm their biological realities. But (and this is the advice bit) it would be helpful if Professor Peterson would take the trouble to discover what the church is for. And he could do that by reading more Christian writers andthey were quite adamant about thisgiving in and going to church himself. If CS Lewis could submit himself to the mediocrity of the C of E on an ordinary Sunday morning, and Jesus himself could go to the Synagogue for his whole earthly lifeand my goodness, what must it be like to sit there and listen to one dubious and confused biblical exposition after another, oh wait, God does it still! He is there in every worship service in every corner of every country through all timethan even Jordan Peterson can, and should, go. Because it is only by going and submitting ones impressive intellect to the mercies and grace of the ordinary gathering of faithful worshippers that the point of the exercise gradually becomes clear. And that is that Jesus saves us from ourselves and unites us to him. Thats a message that young men need, but also older ones, and women as well.

My children pointed their fingers at me and practically shoutedGo to church, Jordan. The young menand young womenof today who listen to you insist.

And now, if you will excuse me, Im going to go have my morning walk in this hideous thousand-degree weather. And after that, I have no idea. I probably need to go buy a latte since I cant make a good one myself and I cant crop my pictures either. Have a nice day!

Jordan Peterson Is Wrong About Russia, and the West – The Atlantic

July 20, 2022 | Author: admin

On the intellectual bankruptcy of moral equivalence

By David French

The Third Rail examines the disputes that divide America. Sign up to get it in your inbox.

Theres a pattern emerging in parts of the right. It goes something like this. Yes, Russia is wrong to invade Ukraine, but And what follows the but is invariably an avalanche of excuse-making and false moral equivalence. NATO provoked Russia, Ukraine provoked Russia, orand this is my favoriteWestern wokeism provoked Russia.

Earlier this week the extraordinarily popular Canadian professor Jordan Peterson released a lengthy (and immediately viral) video that represented the virtual platonic form of the argument that Russia is wrong, but If you have a spare hour, Id urge you to watch his entire lecture, if only to understand a view you may not hear much in your daily life.

I want to focus on a specific claim by Petersonthat Russia has not only gone to war to protect itself from what he describes as Western degeneracy, but that our alleged degeneracy robs the West of the moral high ground in the conflict. Heres a key quote:

And what is this degeneracy? Peterson talks about radical gender ideology, the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson (yes, really), and her reluctance to define a woman during her confirmation hearings. Heres more Peterson:

Petersons moral equivalence does not (yet) hold majority Republican support. While Republicans are less likely to support Ukraine in the conflict than Democratsand less likely to support strict economic sanctions against Russia and sending military support to Ukrainestrong majorities still oppose Vladimir Putin.

Petersons beliefs, however, are still worth addressing, and not just because they undermine American support for an ally that is directly confronting one of our nations chief geopolitical foes. His beliefs also lead to a sense of unjustified existential despair about the state of our own civilization and culture.

In short, while the West has problems, it is not degenerate by any reasonable historical measure, and there is no reasonable comparison between the virtue of NATO and Russia. To argue otherwise is to be ignorant or to engage in gravely deficient moral reasoning.

The rights disproportionate commitment to moral equivalence in the Russia-Ukraine war is explained partly by pure contrarianism (opposing anything the elite supports) and partly by a profoundly negative view of modern Western cultural life, and a prewar view of Putin as a muscular representative of specifically anti-woke Christian nationalism.

Theres no question that Putin has forged a close relationship with the Russian Orthodox Church, but that is an indictment of the Russian Church, not an endorsement of Putin. Hes a brutal war criminal who employed his military in indiscriminate attacks against civilians in the wars in Chechnya and Syria well before the wholesale slaughter in Ukraine.

Moreover, its hardly the case that Russia itself is a hotbed of religious fervor. Its far more secular than the United States (53 percent of Americans say religion is very important in their lives, versus only 16 percent of Russians). Russia has a substantially higher murder rate than every member of NATO, including the United States. It suppresses religious freedom, and it has one of the highest measured abortion rates in the world.

Is Russia defending itself against Western degeneracy and protecting the Christian faith? No, its distorting and appropriating Christianity to inflict its own pathological criminality on a peaceful nation and its innocent people.

Petersons critique of the West as degenerate or insane rests largely on the existence of radical gender ideology and illiberal wokeness that does have profound influence in a number of key Western cultural institutions, including the academy, large corporations, and much of the mainstream press.

Yet the Western-protected regime of individual liberty and the rule of law not only protects its citizens from the worst excesses of authoritarians on the left and the right; it protects the mechanisms of internal critique that can and do lead to reform. Moreover, even with wokeness abroad in the land, NATO countries remain among the best places in the history of the world to build a life and raise a family.

Neither America nor its Western allies have ever been perfect. Weve always been profoundly flawed. Indeed, the United States that fought World War II was far more degenerate or pathological than it is today. We liberated Europe from Nazi tyranny and Asia from Japanese despotism at the same time that we maintained an apartheid-like Jim Crow regime in the South.

But that did not render the moral high ground in the Second World War up for the most serious debate.

Ive long been a participant in the American culture war. I was a pro-life and religious-liberty litigator for more than 20 years before I became a journalist. I also know that its easy to lose perspective when you spend too much time immersed in domestic disputes. Most of us, however, get jolted back to reality when we see the true face of aggressive, authoritarian evil. A clash over whether to use the word woman or a person with the capacity for pregnancy is a moral and philosophical dispute that can be mediated through the instruments of liberal democracy.

A Russian cruise missile launched into an apartment building, by contrast, represents a truly different order of depravity. A nation or culture does not have to be perfect to be right, and make no mistakein the clash between the war criminal in the Kremlin and Ukraine and its NATO allies, the true moral high ground could not be more clear.

Vegans need to stop exaggerating the health benefits of a plant-based diet – Fast Company

July 20, 2022 | Author: admin

On the internet, youll find extreme dieters of all types, and many of them will swear to you that theirs is the only healthy way for a human to eat. At one end of the spectrum, theres Jordan Peterson with his carnivore diet, consisting of nothing but beef, salt and water. At the other, frugivore diets pushed by YouTubers and their ilk are not just vegan and raw but almost entirely made up of fresh fruit. And then, of course, we have the classic and unapologetically restrictive weight loss programs like the cabbage soup diet, the Master Cleanse (aka the lemonade diet), and the currently trendy Mono Diet, where you eat only one food.

Advocates for highly restrictive diets like these tend to massively overemphasize the benefits of their approved food while seriously exaggerating the drawbacks of all other foods. But these are only the most extreme examples of a supposed wellness culture that makes huge generalizations and routinely manipulates or straight-up ignores scientific evidence. Unfortunately, this approach ends up polluting even those conversations that do have some legitimate basisfor instance, veganism.

There are plenty of health benefits to a plant-based diet, and unlike the above examples, its not even necessarily a particularly restrictive dieteven nonvegans and nonvegetarians who eat primarily plant-based can reap the benefits. But the unfortunate truth is that like most things on the internet, a grain of truth gets stretched far beyond the bounds of what science can actually prove.

Its not hard to imagine why some voices for veganism might exaggerate or even fabricate health-related claims. The animal agriculture industry enacts gruesome violence against animals, as well as many of its laborers and, of course, the health of the planet. So if health is what will compel people to change their diets in a way thats beneficial for animals and the environment, its easy to see why some activists and influencers would push nutritional facts as the most effective avenue to help end the industry.

But ultimately, misinformation is only going to harm the movements credibility. Veganism is a more widespread idea in our society now than ever beforewe cant afford to risk causing folks to dismiss the whole thing as bunk. And all of this misinformation, exaggeration, and cherry-picking is a shame, because it obscures the actual strong evidence of the benefits of eating less meat, eggs, or dairy: lower risk of heart disease, stroke, and several types of cancer, to name just a few.

Regrettably, conversations around veganism tend to be rife with pseudoscience. Its not hard to find vegan influencers who spout unproven theories as though they were fact, utilize confusing and misguided logic, or say things that are plainly falselike that a vegan diet can change your eye color. Even actual medical doctors have been known to make dramatic and shaky claims, such as that a single meal high in animal fat can cripple a persons arteries, citing one single, decades-old study that featured just 10 subjects and no control group.

Youll hear people saying that nothing less than a 100% plant-based diet can be considered optimally healthy, when the reality is, we just dont have the data to back that up. Sure, there are plenty of studies that do support the general idea that plant-based eating is healthy in one way or another, and plenty of them are recent and use reliable methodologies. But even good data can be woefully misinterpreted. Correlation often gets mistaken for causation, and its difficultif not impossibleto isolate very specific inputs and outcomes (like, does cheese cause cancer?) because human biology and lifestyles are complicated.

Heres an example: James Beard Award-winning Washington Post columnist Tamar Haspel points to this Bloomberg article, the headline of which boldly claims, One Avocado a Week Cuts Risk of Heart Disease by 20%. Which sounds huge! But a closer look reveals that the study only demonstrates an association between avocados and heart disease, not a causal relationship. Do avocados cut the risk of heart disease, or do people who make overall heart-healthy lifestyle choices just eat a lot of avocados? Based on this study alone, we cant say. Any conclusion is, at best, a loose interpretation of the facts.

And the issues with nutritional science as we know it today go even deeper. For one thing, many of these studies (including the avocado one) rely on self-reported information from study participants. Thats putting a lot of faith in regular people to accurately and honestly measure their own eating habits, which human beings are famously bad at. When the input data is already in question, its hard to trust any conclusions drawn from it.

Even putting that aside, observational studies dont allow scientists to randomize their study subjects. If were just noting what real people are actually doing, we cant separate the elements we want to examinefor instance, meat consumptionfrom other factors like income, education, gender, smoking and drinking behavior, and what else they eat. As a result, the kind of information we get from these studies is imprecise;and unless the results include very dramatic, statistically significant trends, its risky to extrapolate much from them.

But getting the kind of data we could reliably work with is more or less impossible. To truly control a study, researchers would have to literally control everything eaten by hundreds of participants (or more) over a period of years, in order to eliminate all (or even most) potential confounding factors. Real human lives are just too complicated to regiment the way a true lab study requires.

Furthermore, the biological world is just more complicated than wed like to think. Different people have different nutritional needs. For people with certain gastrointestinal conditions, eating fully vegan just isnt feasible. But even barring that, human bodies are unique and one person may not process a particular food in the exact way another person would. With that in mind, one-size-fits-all health advice of any kind should probably be subject to some heavy skepticism. Given all of this, its no wonder that doctors, nutritionists, researchers, and other credentialed expertsnot to mention third party interpreters of research, like journalists and other media figurestend to give diverse, often contradictory advice.

Meanwhile, an alarming portion of the population, and even of the scientific community, are apparently indifferent to nutritional science altogether. Fewer than 20% of medical schools in the U.S. have a single required course on nutrition, and the majority of medical schools teach less than 25 hours of nutrition education in the four years it takes to complete an MD program. All this, despite the fact that diet-related diseasemuch as heart disease and type 2 diabetesare among the leading causes of death in the U.S. today.

Our diet-obsessed culture is constantly searching for a magic bullet to fix all the diet-related problems we face. We try complicated, often punishing, and sometimes even dangerous methods to, ostensibly, get healthy (often a euphemism for lose weight), based on so-called empirical evidence thats shaky at best. The fact is, nutritional science just isnt at a point where we can confidently dole out sweeping directives on how people should eat. Sure, there are some points that the medical community has reached some degree of consensus on: The American Heart Association tells us that eating a lot of meat is not a healthy way to lose weight, especially for folks who have or are at risk for heart disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says to avoid processed food and sugary drinks in order to lower our risk of heart disease and stroke. And the American Cancer Society tells us to eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Eat your veggies and avoid soda are probably not groundbreaking bits of advice for most people, and theyre certainly not going to sell any flashy new diet books. Anyone whos spouting granular advice on exactly what and what not to eat is probably operating more on faith than facts. Perhaps a 100% vegan diet is the healthiest way for humans to eat, after allbut we just dont know for sure. Its past time vegan influencers and activists embrace that scientific reality. The credibility of veganism, and the future of a more sustainable and compassionate world, depend on it.

The Brew: Heroes and Villains and Lunch Dates – The Stream

July 20, 2022 | Author: admin

Happy Tuesday!

A lot to get to, but first a message from our sponsor.

A man walked into the food court of an Indiana shopping mall Sunday and opened fire. Three people were killed. The toll wasnt catastrophically higher because a legally-armed citizen shot the killer dead before he could take more lives.

This Brew brought to you by the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Constitution. Preserving life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness since 1787.

Amazingly, the Left is griping that Elisjsha Dickens, the citizen who ended the massacre, has been called a Good Samaritan by Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers and police chief James Ison. Lets see: Helping a stranger whos already been mugged versus protecting strangers from getting murdered. Are they suggesting Dickens should have waited until after they were shot to help out? Or are they just mad that he stopped more people from getting killed? That poured cold water over the Lefts gun narrative, you see.

I can think of no event in recent memory that has more people shaking their head in confusion than the response of local police and other law enforcement on the scene of the Uvalde school massacre.

An investigation into the failed police response was released Sunday night, right on the tail of a massive amount of video detailing what did or should we say didnt go on.

How in the world do you have that many heavily armed, heavily trained officers standing around as if they are waiting for Taylor Swift to emerge from a backstage door, instead of going after some punk who was shooting little children?

Stream contributor Timothy Furnish has studied the film and read the report. Please check out Sheep and Lions at Uvalde.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is complaining about illegal immigrants filling up the citys homeless shelters. She blames Texas governor Greg Abbott, whom she says tricked the illegals into boarding buses heading to the Swamp. The town where no one in government is doing anything to protect the border. From illegals who have no problem at all violating our laws by crossing the border.

Whats Bowser have to complain about anyway? D.C. is a sanctuary city. Virtue signaling is all well and good, until people actually take you up on it, right, Mayor?

If you had a dime for every time youve been told just during the J6 hearings that the 2020 Election was the most secure election ever, you could afford a can of California gas.

The reality is quite the opposite.

John Solomon of Just the News has had his nose to the grindstone for 18 months, doing the work that the mainstream media and for that matter, Liz Cheney should have been doing. Hes now up to 21 different investigations that prove irregularities, illegalities and outright fraud. Hes collated them in a new article called Bombshells Undercut The Big Lie.

But you want to talk sedition and betrayal, Liz Cheney? Lets do that.

Gen. Milley Remains Mum on Allegation He Made Subordinates Take an Oath to Ignore Trump Orders

Meanwhile, remember Bob Woodwards claim in the book Peril that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley commanded subordinates to ignore orders from President Trump until they ran the orders by Milley first. In fact, according to the book, Milley made the subordinates swear an oath.

If true, this would mean Milley overthrew the civilian chain of command. Mutiny. Sedition. A coup.

Since the book came out, Republicans have been demanding Milley answer to those allegations. He ignored them for nine months, saying he hadnt read the book. He ignored specific questions sent to him in April. Last week, Sen. Charles Grassley and Rep. Jim Banks took to the House and Senate floor.

Said Banks: Im calling on General Milley to set the record straight. General Milley is accused of secretly seizing the presidents military powers. That is the most serious crime. If he is innocent, he has a duty to say so.

Said Grassley: On April 11th, with twelve pointed questions, we gave General Milley a second bite of the apple to clear the air. General Milley, honor your word. Answer the questions. Come clean with the American people.

Added Grassley: Years of oversight have taught me this lesson: evasive answers usually offer revealing clues to the truth.

Dr. Deborah Birx Admits to Deliberately Deceiving Trump on COVID

Dr. Deborah Birx aka The COVID Lady With All The Scarves admits in her new book Silent Invasion that she hid vital information from President Trump to better push her preferred COVID response policies. She also altered CDC data.

I couldnt do anything that would reveal my true intention, she writes to use the travel ban as one brick in the construction of a larger wall of protective measures we needed to enact very soon.

Birx knew she wanted a massive lockdown, but knowing Trump would resist because of the inevitable damage to the economy, she obfuscated her intentions. From that came the infamous 15 days to slow the spread deception, though she knew full well the lockdowns would last far longer.

She deceived the President of the United States the man we elected to look after the nation as a whole.

As The Post Millennialreports, Birx was scornful of Trumps efforts to protect the economy. In other words, utterly disinterested in the damage that would come from her lockdowns. The cure as Trump correctly warned became worse than the disease.

Last week we came upon an intriguing Facebook post from Stream friend Eric Metaxas. Seems he got a chance to break bread with philosopher Jordan Peterson. While no doubt much of the conversation between these two fascinating figures was consumed with the (then-pending) nuptials of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, Im sure some time was spent exchanging lofty thoughts.

Well have to wait until December to hear Metaxas and Peterson bat around ideas the way the rest of us might bat around a beach ball.

But it got me thinking. Of all the people currently engaged in public discourse, who would you want to have lunch with? Both Metaxas and Peterson would be excellent choices. But whom would you pick?

I was going to say Trump, but then he might want to order in McDonalds, and Im really trying to cut down.

This Solana-Based Altcoin Is One To Watch This Month, Says Top Crypto Analyst Heres Why – The Daily Hodl

July 20, 2022 | Author: admin

Closely followed crypto analyst Justin Bennett is eyeing one move-to-earn altcoin for a potential rally to the upside.

Bennett tells his 102,000 Twitter followers that blockchain-based fitness and lifestyle app STEPN (GMT) could possibly see a major breakout from a symmetrical triangle formation.

GMT is one to watch this month.

Points to a 40% move when this breaks.

What do you think bullish or bearish?

The crypto analyst follows up by highlighting a recent pattern of STEPN posting higher lows, asking,

How about now?

At time of writing, STEPN is surging by nearly 21% over the last 24 hours and trading for $1.11. Looking at Bennetts chart, his targets for GMT when it breaks out are $1.28 and $1.65.

In a recent announcement, STEPN said it generated over $120 million worth of profits from April through June through platform fees, 5% of which will be allocated for token buybacks and burning.

The remaining capital will be used to enhance security, hire new team members and produce branded merchandise among others.

Economist Alex Kruger also weighed in on STEPN, telling his 140,600 Twitter followers hes surprised by the tokens strength despite negative trends within two key data points.

The STEPN rewards token has nuked 99% while new users are trending down to zero.

Surprising how GMT is holding up.

STEPN, which launched in early March, experiencedmassive growth until momentum stalled starting around the end of May.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and One Metaverse Altcoin Turning Bullish, According to Closely Followed Trader – The Daily Hodl

July 20, 2022 | Author: admin

A popular crypto strategist is predicting whats next for a trio of digital assets as the markets try to keep the recent rally going.

The pseudonymous crypto trader Cheds tells his 274,100 Twitter followers that hes looking at Bitcoin (BTC) on the 34-day estimated moving average (EMA).

He says this is the first time the top cryptocurrency has closed above that particular metric in three months while remaining wary of potential price weakness moving forward.

BTC notable first close above daily EMA 34 since April.

Some evidence of weakening bear trend continue to monitor for deviation.

Bitcoin is currently surging, up 9% over the past 24 hours and priced at $23,512.

Cheds goes on to discuss whats next for Ethereum (ETH), stating that the leading smart contract platform appears strong enough to recapture the $1,700 mark regardless of whether or not Bitcoin buckles.

$1,700 still makes sense even if BTC rejects DEMA 34 given relative strength.

At time of writing, Ethereum is up by 4.05% on the day, changing hands for $1,573.

The chart guru concludes his analysis of the top two digital assets by saying he thinks Ethereum currently appears stronger than BTC. He also notes that ETH remains above the upper Bollinger bands (BB), a metric measuring an assets price and volatility oscillation over time.

ETH relative strength right now to BTC with that long trigger from $1,270 break.

BTC still looks vulnerable, ETH not really at the moment (though we are trading above upper BB).

As for daily EMA 34, I would hope everyone is using it, not just me. Its been the most important level since November.

Cheds also takes a look at Ethereum-based virtual world The Sandbox (SAND), highlighting the altcoins recent recovery from a mid-June flash crash.

SAND flexing a lower high break.

The Sandbox is also in the green by 5.62% on the day with a market value of $1.43.

Four Under-the-Radar Altcoins Skyrocket 233% or More in Just Seven Days As Crypto Shows Signs of Life – The Daily Hodl

July 20, 2022 | Author: admin

Four low-cap altcoins are surging, more than tripling in value over the past week as the digital asset markets abruptly come to life.

One of this weeks biggest gainers is the native asset of RSK Infrastructure Framework (RIF), a collaborative marketplace designed to offer a suite of blockchain-based solutions such as storage, domaining and payments.

On July 18th, RIF surged from a low of $0.003 to a high of $0.17, printing massive gains of 5,566%. The altcoin has retraced since and is currently valued at $0.10, up nearly 100% on the day.

Next up is Voyager Token (VGX), a cryptocurrency broker asset designed to allow users to trade dozens of digital assets and earn interest on their crypto deposits. VGX rallied from a seven-day low of $0.14 to a high of $1.03, representing an increase of over 635% within one week. VGX has pulled back after recording the weekly high and is now priced at $0.45.

Another hot crypto asset as of late is chrono.tech (TIME), a project aiming to provide blockchain-based solutions for issues arising in the field of human resources such as recruitment and payment processes. Over the past week, TIME has managed to climb from a low of $40.89 to a high of $154.80%, marking gains of over 278%.

At time of writing, TIME is trading at $134.05, down over 17% on the day.

The last coin is BarnBridge (BOND), a blockchain protocol designed to focus on tokenizing risk and enabling users to hedge price volatility and risk sensitivity. BOND has risen from a weekly low of $2.92 to a high of 9.79, representing a surge of more than 235%.

BOND has slightly corrected since and is now changing hands for $7.59.

RUNE Price Analysis: $2.5 Breakout Bolsters Recovery Rally To Hit $3.4 – CoinGape

July 20, 2022 | Author: admin

Published 22 hours ago

THORChain(Rune) price starts the new week with a bang as it breaches the weekly resistance of $2.5. While the coin price continues to climb higher today, a minor correction is plausible to validate this breakout. Thus, the retest phase may provide an entry opportunity for potential buyers.

Source-Tradingview

The RUNE/USDT technical chart showcases a textbook example of ascending triangle pattern in the daily time frame chart. While the crypto market struggled in uncertainty last month, the RUNE price under the patterns influence started showing higher low formation.

This run-up indicated a gradual rise in bullish momentum, which resulted in a decisive breakout from the $2.5 neckline resistance on July 18th. In addition, the long bullish candle provided a candle closing above the $2.5 mark and 50-day EMA, providing a higher footing to carry forward this rally.

With a 45.5% rise in volume, the RUNE price soars 8% and provides a strong follow-up candle. If the bullish momentum persists, the altcoin will climb 20.3% higher to hit the $3.4

However, it is unlikely the price may not retrace in between, as such a robust rally in a short time may encourage profit booking from traders. Therefore, a potential pullback may retest the $2.5 flipped support and check price sustainability.

Furthermore, as per the technical setup, the triangle pattern should lead the RUNE price above the $3.4 resistance.

Vortex indicator: the VI+ and VI- slope widens their gap in a bullish alignment, indicating strong buying in the market. This rising bullish momentum bolstered buyers to propel coin prices to the $3.4 mark.

Bollinger Band indicator: The RUNE price shows a breakout from the indicators upper band, accentuating their sudden growth. However, a retest to the overhead resistance usually induces a minor correction, which bolsters the retest theory.
