Yeah, just like we have a new all time high prior to the halving, that is a diverge from the cycle that we have seen before (new all time high after the halving).
And probably this is what disrupt the current cycle as it has been months after the halving and so far we haven't seen a huge spike in the price. Nevertheless, we still have the last quarter of this year to see how everything wil go for us.
But in any case, we should continue to accumulate and then hope that we will still hit that 6 digit mark as others have been expecting in this current cycle.
We can't say yet if history has changed or won't repeat itself but with ETFs being approved and bitcoin hitting ATH before the halving, we shouldn't ignore these small changes.
One more thing, I also asked this question during the 2022 bear season, will history always repeat itself as more and more people become aware and wait for it to happen? If everyone buys bitcoin during the bear season and waits for the bull season (4 year cycle) to sell, who will buy at the high price?
I'm not saying bull season will never come but I wouldn't be surprised if this cycle changes. I mean it could come sooner or later. We need to take that scenario into account and plan accordingly instead of being complacent and believing that things will always repeat themselves. That's why I say we should have a long term investment plan of more than 4 years and don't speculate after halving thinking the price will always increase after that.
