What's the current market situation?

[NancyDeep]

Bitcoin hadn't even gotten a foothold in the new price range when the torrents started to rise sharply. Within a week, we saw low-cap and memecoin rally as well - something that usually happens in the later stages of a bull market.
Some say bull markets are getting shorter. But what I'm seeing is sheer desperation as well. It's like if tokens don't go up now you're losing out.
I remember in late 2019 and early 2020, (3.12 Black Swan), there was a similar market to what we are seeing now. Looking back on that period, we could well call it a bull trap. So is this another bull trap? Or is this just bear market PTSD?
In a market environment like this, staying calm, rational, conducting adequate research and risk management is key. If investors are confused, they may need to re-evaluate their investment objectives and strategies to ensure they are in line with their risk tolerance and long-term planning.

Forecasting market tops and bottoms is extremely challenging, and many experts argue that it is impossible. While some traders attempt to time the market with a technical assessment and other devices, it is frequently more of a skill than a profession. Even those who attempt to time the market frequently make mistakes. I believe that most investors should focus on the long term and ensure that they are comfortable with the level of risk they are imposing. This involves keeping a portfolio that is adequately diversified and avoiding placing too much of your wealth at risk in any single product or trade. It's also important to consider your time perspective.

If we are to look back at the price of bitcoin from last year till this year, I think many of us will be happy with how bitcoin has gone in price(increasing above the ATH of 2021).

I don't think there will be any bull trap that will happen again because the halving season is not far from us. It is an accumulation period that many investors are into now because in the next few months to come bitcoin may be moving to $80k.

The market situation is better than I expected at this time.

Some say bull markets are getting shorter.

The bitcoin one was not even supposed to have started yet, so I don't know where they get it from. What actually happens is that what we call 'bull markets' are conceptual constructs that we make to try to understand regularities, but the supposed regularities that we see are always changing.

But what I'm seeing is sheer desperation as well.

What I see is total calm. The secret: know very well what you are investing in, do it with money that you won't need for a long time and keep your eyes on the long term.

We are still in the current correction to be honest, because the market's ranking is still the same for the few days that I have noticed, it is time and day for us to accumulate the assets that we need to accumulate, a preparation for something that is not we expect it to happen.

And this thing can happen at any moment, so while the plane is still stopped, take advantage of what we can do right now, because once the wheel moves forward and the door closes, it's difficult to catch up let's face it, that's what happens when Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies take off in the market and that's what we've seen these past few weeks right?

I wouldn't say this is a bull trap, most likely just a market correction because since the start of this year, the market really took off. And then bitcoin had it's new all time before the halving.

Yes, we need to stay calm and be patience. For strong hands, this is just another opportunity for them to get in and buy. But for weak hands, gonna be a expensive lessons to learn specially if they sell at a loss.

Nevertheless, just look at the brightside of it and just continue to accumulate.

This price fall is expected and that's how it has been traditional during the bull run season and some weeks to halving, you don't expect the market to pump forever, there must be some correction and then we continue but what I didn't expect is making all time high so early when we weren't close to the halving, even today we are still less than 29 days.

I think we can conclude that this run so far was created by institutional investors demand, they were the reason why the price cross above the previous all time but it was weak and also people don't trust the market like before. I hope we can go further and stay there for atleast a year to win back most people that left during the bear market.

I agree with your opinion as to the current market conditions. I think this is market correction. Since the inception of this year, the market has been on a bull run and a new all time high was achieved without any much resistance unlike it is. This correction would usher in Bitcoin halving and possibly a new price much higher than the current all time high is in few days from now.

All that is needed right now is patience and calmness just as you have said. I think at this point in time many are taking advantage of the market situation to bag more as they have seen the future of Bitcoin while the weak hands are panicking and losing their positions.
