Trying to wait for the bottom will only caused a delayed for your investment to prosper, starting to buy and wait will results to a good position after
some time, as many things can happen after this long bearish trend has been replaced by the new bull market, preparing your mindset to take the
jumped and risk for better results.

this is the likely scenario,  what most people don't understand about market shifts is that it has to be slow and it takes time, so the moment they  see bitcoin rising 300$ they think this the cheapest it will be, they jump in , prices drop, they sell for loss, rinse and repeat.

or the worse scenario is, they buy now, a few months later, price is back at where they bough or lower, they give up, sell , and then bull run starts.

I dont think he should have to sell absolutely everything, that sounds like an overally risky gamble based strategy.   From what I've seen people only have to be right in general to do very well, trying to time the exact top and bottom is a bit of a fallacy.    The reason for that might be that volume is not highest at the peak price, it thins out which is why it looks sharp on the graph as there is not enough buyers there to keep the price.  
Once its spiked up then others following recognise and tend to join into the sell, it gathers momentum and so on.   On the more positive side, that can happen with the bottom where its not really recognised by many and quite a few are exhausted by the move and got their heads on the desks or hands as literally they gave up.  

  Its ironic I guess, actually trying to be one of the few at the top or bottom is not a sensible target and I try to learn or recognise that joining into a trend is actually healthy.    Forming good instincts is all I hope for really, as I think this will make me far better off then that lucky gamble win scenario imo

Many TAs said the market has not bottomed out yet. The same way happened when the bear market started so IMO, there are no perfect predictions about bullish or bear trends. The trends come at their own comfortable time and sometimes, the activities of some of the TAs kesps the market sinking.

We really don't know if the market bottomed out yet or not. Maybe, maybe not. Top callers and bottom callers get slaughtered by the market, always. Good TA always waits for confirmation.

So the bottom may very well be in, but wise traders will continue betting on the long term bear trend until it's confirmed over. It's the only sensible way to approach the market as a trader. That means selling into the current rally with the expectation of revisiting the $3,000s or lower.

5,700$ is the top now, you can only dream to be able to sell it for that price, and based on your comment i can only assume that you don't know shit about trading, shorting btc at 5700$ and taking profit at 3k area is a ton of profit, btc fell  almost 50% from that level, if i was to re-buy now i would have  1.5BTC for each 1 BTC sold at 5.7k , let alone buying at 3.2k. if you think that both 5700$ and 3200$ are bottoms then you need a brain check.

That's just them feeling expert and knows the future, but the fact is they are wrong most of the time.
When more and more people are agreeing to the price whatever TA is that, it will reflect to the public's perception and in that way, whales can abuse us.
What's the use of TA if the market is still under the manipulation of the whale, they don't need any indicator, they just do what they want.

I have noticed that, too. It seems we are having higher lows, instead of lower highs. It looks like a reversal, but it is going slowly, giving us time to prepare. I think it is safe to buy in small amounts, right now, but with some orders at lower prices, in case it falls more.

Another thing I noticed is that a certain exchange (cant recall which one, right now) have increased the margin trading for its users. Maybe it is a sign that people are losing interest in it, and want to accumulate, instead of margin trading.

We can't discard $3,200 yet; it's a weekly pivot at historical support (200-week MA).

However there's been no sign yet that it's actually a bottom. We haven't been able to a form a higher high on the weekly chart since 2017 and that's still true today. With no such recovery and no high volume capitulation at the bottom, there's just no reason to put much stock in the December low. It's probably just a local bottom like the September 2014 pivot.......more blood to come.

What probability would you give? I'd say 50-50 (at best) if I'm being honest. The lack of V-bottom, the lack of volume on the "recovery".....and based on the similarity to the 2014 market, we have to leave open a strong possibility that we'll plunge below the 200-week MA rather than just hovering above it. I'm leaning towards a painful dip below the December bottom. Fingers crossed that we see a classic recovery off that.
