We still have some months left before bear market would begin. What is happening is caused by Trump and not that the bear market has began. In the past, something like this has happened before but bitcoin later increased and get to all-time high. People should not panic and sell.
Bull traps are usually a false trading signals, so it happens at certain uptrends market movements at some prices intervals when most traders think that the market sentiments is bullish, and prompt some traders to buy Bitcoin with the hope that a further price increase will occur only to experience a sudden reversal.
Actually we have been experiencing Bull traps, short squeeze, side ways movements over the past two months but I don't think we have entered the bear run yet, though there seem to be some selling pressure due the tariff war and other factors.
I think a bounce is expected, Btc is likely going to hit another resistance at $87k, if it succeed, then a $95k to $100k, may play out in my opinion. lets watch out!
I have already created a discussion on the bitcointalk but I think I should also share this topic within this community and get your opinions.No real life market will remain in a particular trend forever and that's why you should expect that even if bitcoin pumps on an overall view there would still be dumps at intervals. However I also noticed that sadly it seems like these dumps are moved selfishly by liquidity sometimes.
It is normal for the Bitcoin market to go down and pump again because Bitcoin is a volatile asset.
---If we will follow that picture, and what happened in 2021 bull run season, I guess we will all agree that it's the same.(https://www.talkimg.com/images/2025/04/07/x2KLo.jpeg)
We have seen $1.4 Billion liquidated from the market in the last 24 hours. And this kind of panic situation has not been seen since the Covid Crash in 2020. (https://cryptopotato.com/panic-hits-crypto-stocks-and-commodities-at-levels-not-seen-since-2020-covid-crash/) And in this situation, not only our crypto space is alone, but also Stocks and Commodities.
So is this the Bull trap or really or the start of bear? What does your personal judgment and analysis says about this?
I still believe that we will see another push towards the upside somewhere this year. My prediction is it will happen at around end of Q2 to around Q3, will last for months then we will enter the bear market season.It is very difficult to believe that there will be another bullish period this year, even though I think the bullish period in the halving cycle is over... so from March to 2028 we will not see ATH again... IMO, this is the right time to start accumulating until the next cycle....

IMO, this is the right time to start accumulating until the next cycle....yes it is easy to go to that conclusion considering where bitcoin is at right now and it is not exactly showing good signs of another bullish peak
And a few days ago someone discussed the acceleration of the cycle, but I don't think it will be accelerated 2x, so at least the cycle will continue but not four years, it could be reduced to 3 years... that means there is still time until 2027 my friend... to see a new ATH will take 3 more years....it is possible but i also want to stick with the idea that the ath comes after a halving event which really does take four years although the ath last year came before even the halving event so maybe roughly four years is what we are looking at here

If we will follow that picture, and what happened in 2021 bull run season, I guess we will all agree that it's the same.I also believe that the bull season is not over yet, the last turn is still ahead. And as a reason, I already said it once. I also have seen some users saying that maybe we have already faced a bear trap towards the end of 2024. But the price of Bitcoin at that time had only dumped 10 to 15 percent from the ATH price.
Currently, we are in a bear trap (based on that picture), and the catalyst to this downwards pressure is the tariff war of Trump against ALL of the countries. Now in order for the market to go up again, we need another CATALYST. Something big, that it can cause prices of different markets to go up yet again. The question is, WHAT and WHEN it will happen.

The timing of crypto market price ( bull or bear) is not always realistic especially when forecasting the bear season, in facts, crypto prices predictions does not always play out as expected, even many experts can testify to the fact that price predictions can be delayed to some time in near future, and most expert predictions analysis are based on a longer time frame or a high time frame (HTF)
It is a well known fact that bitcoin price is very difficult to predict accurately, therefore, the timing of a bear market can't be certain as you have mentioned. There are sometimes some persons may predict the market almost at the exert target, but expert got it wrong most times.
The current market drop is not entirely related to the market sentiments, there are much influencing factors like tariff made things worse all around the globe and bitcoin just caught in the middle and it may recover soon. But also I read that the bear for this cycle is set to kick in Q2 so what if we already reached that point? But no matter what just keep accumulating, selling will bring regrets in the long run.

But no matter what just keep accumulating, selling will bring regrets in the long run.I agree with you, the current condition is that we should collect a lot of potential coins, because this is just the beginning of Q2 and the bullish season will still be a long time to happen this year. Bitcoin is likely to reach its ATH peak in Q3, but we'll just have to see how the market develops in the future. I'm still sure we haven't entered the bearish season
You have a clear vision of the present situation in the market and I think you are right about the fact that we are still in a growing period. Hence, special attention should be paid to taking advantage of this period of a bull market to form lots of potential assets to obtain good returns in the long run. As for now, if the Bitcoin grows even further and starts to trend towards the ATH level it has already set before, this is a good sign for other altcoins too. As for the current weakness to define bearish season I can only conclude that crypto market is quite capricious and sudden shifts may occur soon. It is always good to administer to this trend and time by ensuring that one goes to the next level.The current market drop is not entirely related to the market sentiments, there are much influencing factors like tariff made things worse all around the globe and bitcoin just caught in the middle and it may recover soon.

At first everyone took it as a sign of big pump, I saw in many places many people thought it would be 200k+ but no the market is going the opposite way.

Well, the more i thought about this, then i keep getting ore insights on whether we are truly giving our bitcoin to the whales unknowingly to us or not, and I've also thought about if we are wasting it on the whales or rather losing them on the network itself, however, i want to also believe that everyone make losses and the moment this happened to us, we are also contributing to others making it at our own expenses.

And basically after crazy man the Trump came to power it has become more chaotic. So I also think the bull market is not over yet we have more games to play.
Its always the panic that made people sell and give their Bitcoin away to the whales which Trump himself may be one of them already since he is rich and his sons are up to Bitcoin already. Using his position as president to manipulate markets can be easy to do. So he makes the prices down by this tarriff and then he buys BTC and then suddenly he paused the tariff while him making money already as more are buying back BTC.At first, people thought that a president who was more interested in and knowledgeable about cryptocurrency would be better for our crypto world, but here we are actually seeing the opposite. All the things he told people before the presidential election, now his crazy behavior and his attempts to influence the market have really made us worry.
This is worse than insider trading. Whales at least are just spreading fud while Trump is crazier.
It is normal for the Bitcoin market to go down and pump again because Bitcoin is a volatile asset.I haven't got a crystal ball to see which way the BTC price winds are blowing tomorrow, that's for sure! And my main focus - my own sweet dollars. Babysitting someone else's portfolio isn't exactly my idea of a good time!
Now, no one can guarantee what the market sentiment will be in the coming days, but if we have experience from the past days or check the records, then every time this kind of bear trap has happened in the bull season. And after many people liquidated a huge amount, the market became bullish again.

Holders will be grinning all the way to the bank, while those who panicked and sold will be kicking themselves.

But no matter what just keep accumulating, selling will bring regrets in the long run.If bear cycle has already started according to your readings in Q2 then selling now means selling in lose therefore it won't be a good deal to make. It's better if we sell in the next bull run and experience the market dynamics by being stuck too.

snipWhales are always waiting to catch prey. And they sometimes show some unusual movements in the market, which makes ordinary investors panic and start selling their crypto. And sometimes they show such movements that ordinary investors jump to invest. And in every case, whales benefit. Whales build mountains of wealth by taking advantage of the weaknesses of ordinary investors. So, if you keep yourself in control in every situation and hold Bitcoin and all other potential coils tightly, then it will be possible to achieve much more from crypto. Otherwise, you will always have to regret only seeing the success of whales.
Yes, whales do have the capability of taking advantage of moments of high or low market volatility. It uses factors that are not so obvious to investors who form part of the fast market movements. However, there is always time to make huge profits on crypto if one is in control and can avoid being triggered to make emotional decisions. Of course, the crypto market can be very volatile sometimes, but if we can stay in this market and have rather long-term perspective, there are good chances to achieve good results. And this is where the issue of patience and the spirit of boredom comes in when it comes to investing.snipWhales are always waiting to catch prey.

We still have some months left before bear market would begin. What is happening is caused by Trump and not that the bear market has began. In the past, something like this has happened before but bitcoin later increased and get to all-time high. People should not panic and sell.the current bear market will last until the second half of 2025 is over because at the moment we still have a lot of red charts indicating a more bear market ahead and we should prepare to face a lot of tough days., we can as well to the advantage of each bear market situation to buy at a discounted price.
I noticed that you did a lot of thinking before arriving at what you think are the current market conditions. You are perceptive of the risks and you are proactive, not reactive. In the middle of the storm and in the light of the constant aggression it seems that the ability to keep one’s self-focussed and not lose one’s head is rather unique. Most people, literally, scratch the surface and yet you go beyond the periphery before reaching a conclusion. Such an attitude may give a sense of gravity, which is useful in keeping consistency in decision making despite the light or heavy circumstance. At any cost, having the opportunity to clear the mind while simultaneously documenting progress should be sufficient, and you’re already doing that.We still have some months left before bear market would begin.
