When will the real bull run begin?

[Nheer]

Nheer - I started in 2022 not 2020 - my overall portfolio is up +85% currently.

The mistake I made was starting too early in January 2022 , looking back now I should have waited and started around 6 months later when the big crash happened but I will learn and have a break after this coming bull run and then start buying again near the bottom of the next bear market.

It has just been a long 2.5 years almost and nothing to show for it Fiat wise yet but I just need to remember we will likely start going up properly in the next 2-3 months so not much longer to wait.

Oh sorry i thought you started investing around 2020. How would you have known that a crash was going to happen? Most people didn’t expect the crash and a lot of people lost so much from the incident and some panicked and decided to sell at loss but you were strong enough to withstand the pressure and held on to your coins. Everything happens for a reason so don’t regret your decision to invest that early because we all know bitcoin has the potential to rise even higher.

+85% rise is not so bad but since you are determined to hold till next bull run then you should hold on for a little longer as the bull run is just around the corner, i just hope you don’t get greedy when the bull run finally arrives.

[Abbatty]

I have been investing in crypto since January 2022 and it is beginning to test my patience waiting for the bull run.

I was buying all along the bottom of the bear market so current prices do not interest me too much as I got in a lot lower so I am just waiting to take profits.

Looking at the 2020 halving, the market didn't really start moving until 4 months later - is this likely to be the case after this recent halving too?

I will continue to hold as I feel we are only months away from the real bull run but it is testing my patience lately waiting month after month for some real price action.

How is everyone else feeling?

You have been holding since 2022 and you are running out of patience now? Don’t you think you are almost there yet. I know it never easy holding for this long especially when you are not doing well finically. According to research I don’t think the next bull run is far away, maybe in couple of months or so… just keep a little more patience so you can be rewarded for you patience because been patient is also an investment.

If you were a holder since around 2020 by now you would have made profit and it is always advisable to take out of your profits. So just be more patient because every investment is about patience and again next time when you are investing in anything not just crypto try to make more enquiry and research so will have knowledge of what you are getting into.

[moneystery]

just be patient. no need to rush. there's nothing to chase. if you have been investing since 2022, then waiting a few more months is not a problem for you. because the most important thing in bitcoin investment is how patiently you can hold bitcoin in your wallet and wait for the right time to sell and then you will be able to make a profit from it.

but if your patience runs out, you can immediately sell it because nothing is stopping you from selling bitcoin now and you should have made a profit by now.

Please do it just like other investors do because this is the only thing we can do knowing that we never know when exactly the ATH come.
You mentioned last 2020, we can't say to have the same market experience this time but can't set aside to be possible. As long as we are holding, we have nothing to worry about missing the chance. What I feel is that the bull season extends until next year and just like the previous halvings, ATH comes months after halving which means that we also need to extend our patience in holding. We just think that holding is no regret but instead, getting more rewards.

One thing I notice with people about this bull run of a thing is that they calculated the date of the halving and decided to set a date to take profit, which isn’t right.

Those who set date to take profit instead of price level are getting it all wrong. The target should be on price, not dateline. For instance, my projection of price was (is) that it would be in the $120k – $150k range to give us a new ATH. That was a painstaking calculation I made late last year, not knowing that Bitcoin would even break its own previous ATH before halving in April. I have my strategy of taking profit in place, this hasn't changed despite how Bitcoin broke its ATH record before time. Yes, to me, it's looking like Bitcoin will surpass that $150k range but I'm not going to allow greed change my approach on taking profit. I think newbies should also set their target before the bull frenzy sets in and greed takes over the market.

My advice has always been the bull run could come anytime, it could come earlier than the past trend or even come later than it. Just hodl and set a target price to take profit, any time it gets there you take profit.

Exactly! That's an intentional way of relating with the market without getting burnt out. Those who take profit gradually at their strategic points won't regret it.

[michellee]

The real bull run will come soon but no one knows when it will come. We can only continue to be patient and prepare well, especially if we want to make big profits again. We don't know whether the real bull run will start 4 months after the halving or at the end of the year or even next year.

If you have been accumulating Bitcoin since 2022, you have already seen your portfolio rise as you have seen. This increase will increase as the real bull run arrives. So we all better get ready because no one really knows when the real bull run will come.

But if the real bull run will come in the next 2-3 months, it looks like that's just the beginning of being able to lift the price to a higher price position. Perhaps the peak of the real bull run will come next year. But it could be wrong and we should really be prepared for its arrival.

[sokani]

Looking at the 2020 halving, the market didn't really start moving until 4 months later - is this likely to be the case after this recent halving too?

I do not think so, and I wouldn't rely on such data. It could take longer than 4 months or lesser but the good news is that we are not far.

I will continue to hold as I feel we are only months away from the real bull run but it is testing my patience lately waiting month after month for some real price action.

HODLing is rewarding. Bitcoin is not a get rich quick money scheme or one of those pump and dump projects. You need to exercise some patience and hodl your gem in other to sell at a very good price. We are in post halving and you're already at the finishing line, very soon the market will turn bullish and you can offload your bag and take profit.

What's the point of selling bitcoin now if he believes that in the next few months the price of bitcoin can rise high?
It takes a little or a lot of time to get market developments post halving - it can take several months, 4 months for example. If OP can wait a long time from 2022 until now - then why can't he be patient in waiting for a big return in 2024 or 2025?

So I agree - every holder should just exercise patience and ignore short term volatility like the current one. Market conditions will soon improve as time goes by - but if they need money due to an emergency, selling some of it might be a wise option instead of selling it all now.

I guess the reason why you're getting all hitted up is because you didn't make adequate plans for long term holding and maybe you got into buying of bitcon because you needed immediate gains. If you hard continued buying after you bought earlier January 2022 and you bought till now, what you should be looking out for should be how to build up a good portfolio and not now that you still have the opportunity of buying more and not necessarily regrets and plans on selling out your holding. Once you invest into Bitcoin with a short termed mindset, it's certainly going to deter you getting the needed profit out of your investment. I guess you've not bought enough bitcoin at the moment and if you're planning on selling, you should know that transaction charge won't favour you that much if the quantity you've been able to stack isn't much. And from a follow investor point of view, if you're not in a situation where you don't have any other option apart from selling your holding, it's better you continue buying your Bitcoin and with time you should have built up your portfolio.

Those that have got a good entry on 2022, I agree with you that they don't have to be hasty because they've got in at the right time. Even those that have been in lately, there's more reason to them to become patient because of what we're going through now.

With experience and regrets from this market, we all are going to agree and say that if you've been patiently waiting to the market and your actions have been into accumulating of the right cryptos for your portfolio then you'd definitely see the fruits of your hardwork soon.

Since OP has been here for 2 years already and this is going to be his first bull run, he's also likely in profit already but it will be more once we get actually into the bull run.

I have been investing in crypto since January 2022 and it is beginning to test my patience waiting for the bull run.

You should have written that you invested exclusively in altcoins, so your question has nothing to do with the Bitcoin discussion. Likewise, until recently, you were bragging about how your coins achieved significant growth, and now suddenly you no longer have the patience to wait for something that doesn't actually have to happen - what if the bull run has already passed?

In addition to all that, it should be noted that at the end of 2022, the price of 1 BTC was just over $15 000, which even today is a 400% increase, and that's something that most people are super happy with - except for those who are greedy and expect 10 000%.

How is everyone else feeling?

I feel great, I listen to people talking about investments that bring them 3-5% per year and I wonder how they can be satisfied with that - I am therefore super satisfied and feel like I won the lottery

Yes the price of Bitcoin at the END of 2022 was $15k but i started investing almost 12 months before that when it was $42k , big difference.

why I said you have to know about the rudement of cryptocurrency before you venture into it especially bitcoin investments so I'm persons invest in Bitcoin without timing or target before you invest in Bitcoin he must have a target especially try to observe when the market is going to venture into the bullish season and also a bearish season so when you are able to know this two things I think you'll be profitable for any of the Investment you venture into because this two things I mentioned is something that regulate the advantages and disadvantages of Bitcoin via investment

Right now, the market is taking a breath and gearing up for an upwards momentum we need to see in these Bull market. Bitcoin Halving has come and go, Now I kind of think we are on the verge of witnessing the last shake out of weak hands before the main Bull run will kick start. However, the level I'm paying very close attention for a possible market reversal is that, Bitcoin needs to hold firm these support levels at $59k-$58, $57k ,else our next zone of support is at 52k  where we have another vpvr indicator showing large number of traffic.

[DeathAngel]

It looks like the price is dumping for now, I don’t think this is anything to worry about. We are where we should be really, the action is tracking previous cycles. It seems $60,000 is not going to hold this time. There is nothing to panic about though, just a normal mid bull run correction.

[Faisal2202]

I will continue to hold as I feel we are only months away from the real bull run but it is testing my patience lately waiting month after month for some real price action.

I will say don't expect too much from BTC only, but you can expect too much from some good alts because alts sometimes give 10x to 100x easily but at the current price BTC might not give 2x even though I know many might be hoping that it would easily give more than 2x but I am considering the 2x from the CMP so that's why I said we should not raise hopes with something that can't be fulfilled. Overall, we should control on our emotions, I don't know how much profit are you making but I think we should book profit when we know we have made enough like the market can give us not more than what we have gained.

At that time I will say start booking the seed profit because market when was near $73k I did not booked the seed profit, and then I was in $500 loss, after the loss was recovered I still did not booked because I was looking at the biggest picture, my journey is from 2023 and your is 2022 then I assume you must have booked from $18k too. Well, if that's the case you already be making more than 4x to 5x at the moment. But keep in mind that expecting another 4x or 5x from the cmp of BTC is idiotic. No offense.

[Alpha Marine]

You have said it yourself, that in 2020, bitcoin did not increase immediately after halving. Not only in 2020, you can also track the record of 2012 and 2016 halving. Holders need to be patient because bitcoin can not just start increasing immediately as some impatient people will expect. Bitcoin will still get to many all-time highs.

Funny enough, I get more worried about Bitcoin when it's just rising within a short period. When something like that happens it's usually because of FOMO. Probably because a news or rumor is out and people speculate that Bitcoin will rise. It also shows that there may be manipulation. The bottom line is, the price corrects after a short time. But when Bitcoin climbs up slowly, there is a pretty high chance it will stay that way and be stable like that for a long time.

Bitcoin is at 60k now when most, including me, speculated it would be above 70k by now, but there's no point to be alarmed. Just keep holding and give it more time. But if there are people who feel they can't, they might as well sell.

For this cycle and for those upcoming ones then there's no way that we could be able to tell on when bull run kicks in. Basing up into the previous ones then it would really be something in between 6-9 months
but as of this upcoming then there's no way whether it could happen on 3 months or 1 year or whatever duration it would do. There's no way on telling it out on when it would be starting to kick.
Mind it off that we might be seeing those small pumps or increase but on a slow pace manner on which people wont be finding out that we are gradually increasing. Breaking new all time highs
and then make out those deep corrections and then bounce back with a new all time high. It is really that totally unpredictable and there's no way that we could really be able to know on when it would happen.

Pretty sure that majority of us really that waiting for that last deep or correction before taking up any position because we do know specially to those old timers that there would really be that last
dip or correction before this market would really be starting to go into the moon.

You know it’s normal to feel that way since we are in all waiting to reap massive profits. But since we don’t hold when will be the final bull run, then hodling to its maximum level should be practiced, and should never worry if price correction is delaying our profits. Bitcoin price will eventually recover and move upward soon, we only need  to be more patient as much as we can.

For the meantime, it’s best to just focus on accumulating more bitcoin on our spare money. Bitcoin bull run will eventually come, even if it means taking a year before it finally hits the market.

Having this knowledge of a by 4months interval for a possible Bullrun after the halving and haven’t bought Bitcoin at a low through 2022 till now, you really shouldn’t be troubled with the Bitcoin price. For what is worth, you’ve got the experience and your in profit. Holding should come easy to you when your in profit.
Many users who find it difficult to hold at times are users that find price way below where they bought and even then, your knowledge and awareness of Bitcoin history through its price is what strengthens your holding abilities.

Isn't there some contradiction in your post? First of all, you don't consider this a real bull run, but I think that some of the investors got spoiled along the way because they have too often watched the graph on Coinmarketcap when BTC went from cents to thousands of dollars. The definition of a bull run has changed in my eyes. Within one year BTC has increased by 100%. There are not a lot of assets giving you 100% within 12 months. For some who sold at above 70k, it was much more than that.

But some here are ignoring the numbers behind these runs and under which circumstances they took place. When you look at the LOG graph on Coinmarketcap, BTC has been steadily going up. Back at the time when BTC was in the cents or the dollars, millions on inflow were able to move the market price significantly. Now if you want to double the BTC price, you need about a trillion to flow into BTC. $1,000,000,000,000 - or one thousand billions of dollars.

In my opinion when BTC doubles in price these days, then it could definitely be called bullish. It is crazy how much money is needed to move the price that much. That's why I am surprised that some still think it is time for BTC to go 10x in no time. I believe that BTC can go 10x, but unlikely that this is going to happen in no time.

That's why I would like to understand what a real bull run is as per your definition? 

[JamesDaniel90]

Ticer - real bull run to me is when my altcoins are pumping massively every other day.

We experienced it a few months ago and it was nice but im waiting for that parabolic stage.

If u look at the Bitcoin chart from September 2020 to March 2021 - that is the run I am referring to when I say ‘real bull run’
