A bear market is a bear market. Big players call the shots (regardless of the form, just to facilitate better exit strategies). Waiting for about 9 months, Bitcoin around $40,000. The expected bottom is around $36,000-$46,000. There's no cost-effectiveness in buying the dip above $50,000! Anyone shouting about the four-year cycle being broken is just brainwashed retail investors. Nothing can break it. BTC is BTC. It is always independent. When it’s time to pump, it can follow policies, the US stock market, gold, geopolitical conflicts, or even the US dollar. Conversely, the same applies. There has never been 100% synchronization or inevitable correlation.
