Currently, Bitcoin is performing well by holding its position above $75k and hope it'll keep holding its current value and it may also keep it's bullish pattern. Once it breaks value of $85k then that's going to be a very bullish indication that the market will go further up. Currently, Bitcoin is sitting around $79k to $80k but it'll keep moving upward I think. I agree in this cycle the correction was way less than the corrections that took place in past cycles, and hopefully we'll now see it going up.
AFAIK we're almost a year into the bear market (considering the drop since 06/out). Historically, Bitcoin has been in absolute decline during this period and then started to capitulate. The same is expected to happen here, but,
past events aren't always guarantees. We'll have to wait and see.
I think this is the ideal time to start accumulating sats, make adjustments to self-custody, that is, review backup setups (many people lose coins due to lack of this), and evaluate good services to use in this new cycle.
This year has been tough for the market as a whole (cold_hack, liquid, etc), but it hasn't shaken the price as much as in previous bear markets. But I'm seeing the market as reasonably optimistic.
