The golden rule is "do not try to catch the exact bottom"

I give you few tips...

Tip 1:
Observe key levels, structure and volume.

Tip 2:
Market Psychology

Remember, market tops and bottoms form in fundamentally different emotional and structural environments.

Unlike Tops that are noisy and euphoric, when optimism is at peak, people chasing rally, buying aggressively, breaking previous highs, projecting ever-higher targets, and exhibiting strong FOMO. (This is where beginners buy chasing green candles)

Bottoms are silent and exhausting, they form when faith is gone, no enthusiasm, no buyers, only capitulation, fear and forced selling. It's that point where you begin to here noobs who got bull trapped saying "omo my $200 don remain $20', "Crypto is Scam" "This sh!t is going to zero, am out". (This is where people will rather sell at loss than hold to zero)

Its that point of defeat where people began to move on with their lives, they have bought dips upon dips and no longer have more to buy further dips. Even this thread will get silent and boring, most will leave and never return.

The true bottom is rarely the violent panic candle itself — it's the subsequent slow, boring, low-volatility consolidation where volume behavior changes and patient accumulators quietly enter while the crowd has looked away.

Tops arises from greed and the fear of missing out, its quick, emotional, and crowded.
Bottoms arises from surrender and exhaustion, slow, unattractive, patient, and uncrowded.

You know is bottom area when the crowd is in quiet despair while the OG's silently enters and accumulates.

I was there in 2022, and lessons were learnt.

Not trying to catch the exact bottom is how you outperform everyone else.

Its time to find your own local bottom, BTC will find its own.

Generational opportunity is before you.

A lot of people are going to listen to the highlighted above and fall in to this bear trap.

Firstly you must understand that we are in a Bull market.
Bull market progress:36.2% (based on standard Halving Cycles)

Psychologically, it is easier and safer to HODL and DCA into dips with fresh funds than to sell “Some capital” to buy lower in a Pre-Halving / Post Halving Retraces.

Why? If you sell your capital you will be under pressure to find the bottom to get back in or FOMO into any rebound in order not to miss out.

Get fresh funds, identify support areas and place your buy orders. Close your app and go about your business. No pressure!
(Unless you a broke ass mdfvka, then go get a job)

Remember, Paper hands panic sell on red days, and Fomo on green days. Whales Fomo on red days, and dump on paper hands on green days.

Secondly,

There are 4 Phases of The Bitcoin Halving

1. Pre-Halving Rally (Ended)

Usually 60-90days before halving.
48k - 73k

2. Final Pre-Halving Retrace

A Pre-Halving retrace tends to occur a 28 to 14 days before the Halving event itself

In 2016, this Pre-Halving retrace was -38% deep and lasted 3-4 days

In 2020, this Pre-Halving retrace was -20% deep and lasted 56 days (8 weeks)

This phase offer a bargain-buying opportunity in the Pre-Halving period and also form the Range Low of the future Re-Accumulation Range

3. Post Halving Retrace / Re-Accumulation

The beginning of the "Re-Accumulation" phase occurs once the Pre-Halving Retrace has bottomed

In other words, the bottom of the Pre-Halving Retrace historically becomes the bottom of the Re-Accumulation Range

It is possible that Bitcoin is slowly transitioning away from its Pre-Halving Retrace phase into its "Re-Accumulation" phase.

The goal now is for Bitcoin to move sideways going into the Halving and beyond.

The Re-Accumulation phase can last multiple weeks and even up to 150 days (i.e 5 months)

Many investors get shaken-out in this stage due to FUD, disbelief, boredom, impatience, and disappointment with lack of major results in their BTC investment in the immediate aftermath of the Halving

Bitcoin will retrace deep enough to convince you that the Bull Market is over And then it will resume its uptrend.

However, in this cycle it is the very first time that this Re-Accumulation Range is developing around the New All Time High area. (Remember BTC break New ATH first time in history Pre-Halving. The ETF effects)

As a result, this Re-Accumulation Range may simply take the shape of a regular sideways range like we've seen throughout the cycle thus far and may not last very long before additional uptrend continuation

4. Parabolic Uptrend

Once Bitcoin breaks out from the re-accumulation area breakout into the parabolic uptrend.

It is during this phase Bitcoin experiences accelerated growth into a parabolic uptrend

Historically, this phase has lasted just over a year (~385 days) however with a potential Accelerated Cycle occurring right now, this figure may get cut in half in this market cycle.

Finally, if you think Israel/Iran war caused the current market dip, you haven’t learnt Bitcoin enough.

Take home:

2. Baron Rothschild made fortune Fomo buying when people panic sold.
His quote;
[i]"Buy when there’s blood in the streets...
But the second part of his quote isn't recited as often
"...even if the blood is your own”

Fast forward to 2026

Bear Market Progress: Elliot Wave B (Based on Elliot 3-Wave Theory to identify a Bear Trend)

"The Simulation will Repeat"...
Thanks to that Anonymous user on 4chan who perfectly called the bitcoin top (October 6, 2025) way back in 2023 by simply analyzing past cycle data and patterns.

A kind reminder that Bitcoin is forged out of Mathematical and Cryptographical Algorithms. So the numbers (data) dont lie.

Back to helping you navigate the downtrend (Just like i did with the Uptrend as quoted above in April 2024 post-halving)

But before that, i hear a lot people argue that we haven't even experience "Euphoria" that typically mark the top of a cycle according to Wallstreet Cheat Sheet.

Oh well, if all that Trump Coin, Chillguy, Pnut, Useless, Pump dot Fun, scam coin moments that printed millions and got everyone rat racing for the next 100x on Dexscreener screaming WAGMI in late 2024 to early of 2025 after Bitcoin Historic 100k mark in Dec 2024 wasn't Euphoric, then i dont know what euphoria means to you.

Same Pattern in late 2021 to early 2022 with Shiba Inu, Pepe, Doge, Hamster, Floki, where everyone was on BNB Chain and other DEX like Pancakeswap, Uniswap, 1inch chasing the next 100x Defi, buying presale scams on launchpads with their hard earned BNB on Pinksale and the rest. DogeElon, Elon this Elon that, Reflection token, Supply Burn, Nft's and the endless list of last cycle narratives.

That your Bags didn't experience "Euphoria" doesn't mean there was no "Euphoria" leading up to the 2025 Btc Top.
You probably held unto your 2022 Bags Neglecting the Liquidity shift towards new narratives.

Without Further Shenenigans, lets proceed. No Deep Dives, Just surface scratching. Let time prove the simulation.

Stages in a Downtrend: (Source: University dot Cex dot io)

* Panic and fear
* Relief and hope (Where you all at currently)
* Capitulation and depression

Identifying Stages With Elliott Waves

To accurately identify each stage in a downtrend, there is a need for an objective methodology because the above-outlined stages relate to the psychology of a market, which is subjective. Everybody has a different perception of extreme fear, hope, and depression.

The most common objective way to identify the stages of a downtrend is using the Elliott waves. The Elliott Wave Theory is the benchmark technical analysis tool used by financial traders to identify market cycles and forecast different market trends. According to the Elliott wave theory, every downtrend consists of three major stages with two waves to the downside and one way to the upside. Prices drop during waves A and C and they bounce during wave B.

The Elliott Wave Theory suggests that there is usually alternation in the duration of waves A and C. This means that if wave A happens very fast with huge crashes, wave C generally lasts longer with more gradual price decreases and a lot of sideways movements.

Bitcoin followed a perfect A-B-C correction sequence during its 2018-19 bear market as you can observe in the below chart.

Wave A was very quick and violent, where the price of Bitcoin crashed from $19k,000 to $6,000 in only one month. Such a sudden and drastic crash was followed by an almost equally strong bounce in wave B, where the price jumped from $6,000 to $12,000. Finally, in accordance with the alternation rule in the Elliott wave theory, wave C took quite a long time with seven months of sideways price action and ended with a capitulation in December 2018 at $3,000 per coin.

Wave A
During wave A, there is higher selling volume compared to the buying volumes in the late stage of the bull market. The intensity of the sell volume during wave A determines its length and duration.

Increasing sell volume is a response to deteriorating fundamentals for the specific cryptocurrency. During wave A, negative news and developments start to come out for the asset but the continued optimism of the overall market causes the majority of investors to ignore these developments.

Wave A typically ends when those reckless investors start to feel intense panic and fear due to an acceleration in the dropping of prices.

Wave B
Wave B constitutes the relief rally during a downtrend. Prices rise without any improvements in the fundamentals of the asset even though fundamentals have not turned entirely negative either.

Although Wave B usually ends with a lower price compared to the bull market top, depending on the strength of the bounce (and thus market interest), the price may reach as high as the bull market top or even exceed it. But in contrast to what the majority of market participants might think at that point, this would not mean the start of a new uptrend.

If the price tops just a little above the previous bull market top, this would instead constitute a “bull trap”. You can identify a bull trap if prices climb with lower volume compared to that of the previous uptrend. In that sense, the volume during wave B should be lower than the volume in wave A.

Bitcoin’s surge from $29,000 in July 2021 to $69,000 in November 2021 is a perfect example of a wave B that ended with a bull trap. During wave A of the downtrend that started in April 2021, Bitcoin fell from $65,000 to $29,000. Wave B started following that, which did not only rise as high as April’s bull market highs but even surpassed it to $69,000.

Same Pattern this cycle: fell from $109k in Jan 2025 to $74k in April 2025, then rise to a new high of $126k in October 2025

Wave C
Wave C starts when the relief rally runs out of steam. There are no positive developments in the fundamentals of the market, and as a result, investors run out of incentives to buy more.

There is usually alternation between wave A and wave C in the way that prices fall. For example, if the fall was very rapid and violent during wave A, then wave C may have a more gradual downtrend. However, selling volume picks up significantly in wave C, and panic and fear strike again as investors lose their entire gains from wave B. At that point, almost everyone realizes that a bear market is firmly entrenched.

The length of wave C depends on the strength of the overall downtrend. Usually, the price makes a new low compared to the low price in wave A. A lower wave C is very common in cryptocurrencies since they are a very speculative asset, as a result, they can be sold down to extremely low prices during the capitulation and depression phase of wave C.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Prediction for the coming days?

Wait for the Fake 100k Bullish Cross around Late February/Early March 2026 where everyone would think we freakin back, then gets heavily rejected and Wreck all fomo buyers in continuation of the downtrend/bear market uptill October where we could bottom out around 70k or below.

Take Home:

Binance CZ Tweeted recently on X about his optimism for a Supercycle and further reiterate his stance on a Live Tv.

Do I agree with CZ?
Yes, I am optimistic about a Supercycle for ALTCOINS (Eth, Mid Caps, Low Caps) only.

Historically, I expect a liquidity rotation from Btc to Eth and other Altcoins.

For now, I will do nothing but wait for confirmation/Invalidation.

Great Weekend guys.

While you busy panic selling and spreading FUD.

“Mr. 100” bought 404 of today’s 900 new Bitcoins Supply. [See image below 👇]

For context:

"Mr. 100" is an unknown entity known for buying 100 Bitcoin every single day since Nov 2, 2022. They now hold 60.600 BTC worth $3.8 Billion ($1.6 Billion in profit) ⚡️

Their Bitcoin Address:

You can view their trade history on bitinfocharts dot com.

Due to the size of investment, many people speculate this is a nation state buying Bitcoin.

If this continues to happens after 20th April (Halving), there is basically ZERO new bitcoin supply entering the market. 👀

Bitcoin is financial freedom, and they want to take that away from you.

Am beginning to think that the general public is still confused on what a halving is barely 15yrs after Bitcoin whitepaper was released in 2009. 🤦‍♂️

90% of you all are stuck in the short term and can’t see the bigger picture.

Reflect on this tonight:

The year is 2040. (thats 15yrs from now, just like 15yrs before now when BTC was $0.05 has snapped through your fingers and flashed before eyes.)

World population: 8+Billion
Bitcoin supply: 21 million
Bitcoin price: $1m
Whats your chance of owning 0.05btc??

I won't argue with you bro or bother to explain. Go and do your analysis well enough so you are not part of the liquidity.

I bet you never saw 66k coming cos you were just shooting up and bullish movement in all your posts last month.

My best advice is REMOVE YOUR PROFITS AND IF POSSIBLE SOME CAPITAL SO YOU CAN BUY THE LOW AGAIN IN THE COMING MONTHS.

But if you don't have upto a month to give, don't worry Nigerian employers are easy to anger. Just show up very late to work 2days in a row with no remorse or reasonable excuse.
You will be fired on the third day.

Change your profile picture to something more professional.

Your profile overview isn't bad (just needs a little proofreading to fix grammar errors), but your call to action (CTA) lets you down. Never ask clients to "feel free" to do anything, especially contact you, because they won't. Opt for a stronger CTA. To do that, check the CTAs at the end of high-performing freelancers in your niche and curate (not plagiarize) it.

In your overview, you said you have 5+ years of design experience, yet you show only 2 in your employment history: huge red flag.

Currently suffering like this, a very horrible experience. Did DIY because I didn’t know how the stuff works.

Now I’m stuck, the process is horrible. I’m a corper in abia and decided to do it there not knowing that it’s going to be this difficult just cause i did it online.

They refused to bring my file out for capture. After a little disturbance, they did after just dumping it in one place.

Now this officer I’m talking about, I already told him I will pay him but he keeps insisting that I capture first (when he knowingly dumped my file and I was called).

Currently, I’m thinking of getting another officer to help me with the process.

Currently stranded, the funny aspect is I have just 3 months to round up my Nysc service and I might end up not getting this passport before passing out from this state

Abia Immigration office is very corrupt.

Too bad.
He's deliberately trying to frustrate you.

lajid:
Hello, pls what process are you on now? I have been battling just to capture. I’ve gone there now 3 times still nothing. People are just buying their way through.

Don’t know if I can get any officer to help me out

Have not started, wanted to know the experience over there before I initiate the process.

Although I had a chat with a close friend that works there, her response shows that they are not quite friendly to DIY candidates.

Her reason was that "it's difficult to start tracing the position of DIY applicants"

Actually don't understand how difficult this should be considering the use computer to fetch this data.

Thinking of applying online, then pocket like 10k to sort the process out when I get there. Better than giving someone 40k to do the job they are paid to do.
