Who are they, of course short-term traders? You don't necessarily give a crap about their assumptions.

The whole idea of being informed is not letting people tell you what to do, particularly when it has to do with taking on a Dip price. The market has been fine, if we go below $60K perfect, and if we continue going down to $40K, it is so much better for you as an investor planning to accumulate this entire period.

If it does, then those are the weak hands fallen out, real holders will keep accumulating instead of attempting to make short gains.

I would say the market is in a balanced state because buyers and sellers are not trying much. They are in a balanced state right now. I did not know about these BTC ETF inflows. It is possible the ETF shareholders saw this as an accumulation opportunity.

A bullish breakout is a good outcome we can assume from this, but even if it is not in the short term, then in the long term, the market will break out. But I like how you summarized the major factors that could have caused major dumps, but the market did not react at all.

I do agree that this is shaking these impatient people. I am not trading, just holding, but still I don't like this consolidation phase. But I am surprised like you are that even after all this mess, how it has not hit $55k. Maybe this is it.

All you mentioned in this part was just about a year, right? Which I truly think was a strong reason for the Bitcoin market to crash badly, but it didn't. There were also many past events that had a bad impact on bitcoin marekt, and with the passage of time bitcoin market survived all those situations. e.g; Ukrain-Russia war also impacted the market value of bitcoin when it started. And I still remember, in those days, some people were saying that it would not stand again for almost the next ten years, haha.

But it proved itself a great digital asset with the passage of time. Many have come and gone saying this: Bitcoin is a shit project or a money laundering scheme or many other bullshit things about it. But we really knows it worth and the level of trust this asset has built for itself over time. We just need to focus on over goals and must remeber that there is no need to give attention to such sstupids. HODL!

Who are we talking about here? Who thinks that Bitcoin is boring now only because it is going sideways? Those who think this way are the ones who have zero knowledge about Bitcoin and this market in general, because anyone with ample knowledge would know and understand that this is normal and it happens in every cycle. And besides, I don't understand how some people can actually think that the price of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies will always keep going up, because if the prices are going down, it will still not be entertaining for such people because they don't see it as an opportunity but a threat.

So yes, such times will surely clean the market of traders or investors who have paper hands and aren't patient enough to wait through such periods. If you can't believe the market or stay true to it in such conditions, you don't really deserve to be a part of it when it's at its best, because only those who keep trusting Bitcoin and the market should be the ones who should enjoy the gains and profits when it goes up, because they didn't doubt it when it was down or going sideways.

It is not surprising to me at all. People always come up with terms to describe their impatience whenever bitcoin price is bearish. So people who say bitcoin is boring now are indirectly letting us know that they can no longer wait for the bullrun to come, they will sell now at loss than complete the cycle.

Everyone who has carefully studied bitcoin's cycle will know that this is also a phase in the bitcoin cycle and serious investors are taking advantage of it by accumulating bitcoins now. It is a common knowledge that bitcoin is volatile and bitcoin also has the bearish season where the price of bitcoin doesn't look attractive to many.

Weak hands will definitely fall off before the season over. However, I am not convinced that the bearish season is close to being over yet.

This is not the first time bitcoin price is going low, for those who don't understand how the price of Bitcoin has been going since it creation, it will be better for you to look at the history growth of Bitcoin, when you check the history growth of Bitcoin you will understand that this is not the first time bitcoin is going low in price and this will not be the last time. It will continue happening as long as bitcoin exist. Bitcoin is just volatile in nature and that is what makes it interesting, deep in Bitcoin is an opportunity for people to accumulate more bitcoin with less price. Anyone who is going to leave bitcoin investment because of this deep in price does not really understand how bitcoin works and need to go through the history of Bitcoin.

Of course, those who are impatient will leave the market early either incurring losses or making no profits, and those who remain will reap the fruits of their patience after the bullish momentum begins once we are out of the bear phase. Those who lack basic knowledge and understanding of this market will barely ever make anything out of it, because despite investments being pretty simple and not requiring a lot of knowledge, it is not that easy if you don't know anything. This is why we often say that one should at least have basic knowledge before getting financially involved.

Someone who thinks the market is boring only because it's going sideways or because it's not moving up is basically delusional, they don't know anything about investment opportunities, and they need to ask investors how they keep waiting for these times throughout the cycle because they can fill their bags in these times and then make profits when the market recovers. I wonder how such people think people are making money from this market if they don't know the essence of dips and bear markets.

I believe Bitcoin has become more stable than before and that's why investors mostly retail investors, think it is boring and think DCA strategy is all too slow to meet their profit margin.
Everyone has been in anticipation of a new ATH but I think the launch of ETF made this possibility a bit obscure and also with the kind of policies we see flying over the U.S Senate house just to limit and try to at least gain some control over Bitcoin.

Am still going to DCA anyways even with the coldcard incident and the scare of using hardware wallets. Swing traders Vulcan still make minimal profit from trading Bitcoin but a long term accumulation wins it for me all the way.
