Trump's support has indeed had a positive effect on bitcoin, but the current economic conditions make it seem difficult for bitcoin to rise again.
We can have expectations but we also have to be prepared for all possibilities that will occur, because sometimes reality does not match expectations. I have sold some of my top coins when bitcoin hit ATH.
You did the right thing because when BTC hit ATH i started to buy alts haha what a stupid idea I had that market will make big pumps from here. But I was bullish about alts. Still bullish because second peak should come and in second peak alts will come too.
Although we should not live in imaginary world where we expect market to hit ATH again while ignoring the reality as you said.
So let's see what trump will do or other parts of the world will do to make another big pump because until we don't have any big update like the last time trump made, we might not see second ATH.
