If we are in a bear market how come the Russell2000 and Dow Jones are still at ATH today?
fraudulent propped up markets
>>61434339>if my doom and gloom porn doesn't come true is because it's all a fraudlmao
>>61434294Because the YouTube griftsphere needs more ad revenue from watching their videos
Crypto cycle got frontran by a full year. Stocks still going up because companies are engaging in mass firings to prop up their profit margins (thanks to AI and H1B's helping them do that), which benefits their shareholders.Hope this helps.
>>61434768But it was exactly 4 years though
>>61437013Except not, the 2nd part of altseason for this cycle ended back in late 2024. For reference, there was the March '24 top then the November '24 top, which completed the bull cycle. You're likely confused because the corn made ath's this year and so did Eth, but that was strictly from institutional buying. In terms of the traditional bull cycle, it began a year early this time around in early 2023 and it lasted until late 2024., which is an entire year of frontrunning (if it stuck the 4 years, it would've started early '24 then lasted until this point now end of '25, but this year has been largely bearish for the space outside of btc/eth).Wordy I know but hopefully that clears things up for you.
>>61437045A lot of alts made new ATH's. XRP did too.
So you think the bullmarket is just getting started?
>>61437072If the frontran cycle theory proves true and there's no giga crash in the stock market next year sending us to a depression, then yes it shall start pretty soon. However the macros are still quite dogshit and I fear the corn is poised to create a head and shoulders on the all time chart (you can pretty much see it playing out right now).tldr; depends if 4 year cycles are still a thing (then yes) but if a depression happens then crypto is dead on arrival
>>61434294My heart goes out to all the dummies that have been sidelined because they think the markets will dump any day now. I know one guy that sold everything shortly after the pandemic started. He even sold his piddly fraction of Bitcoin for $11000. Remember, time in the market beats timing the market.
>>61437113The market could moon 50% from here over the next couple years, and then crash catastrophically by 50%, and we would just be...back where we are right now. Imagine how fucked you would be if you sold today and bought back after the crash.
>>61437105>we can either go up or downWell.... you could have just said so>>61437113What was the pandemic? Something from 2019 or something right? It's now almost 2026 bro. But I agree time in the market beats timing the market
>>61434294Market makers need some time to distribute their bags to retail
>>61437151I'll never forget the pandemic. My social life and finances improved dramatically during and afterwards.
>>61437196i can hardly remember it
>>61434294I can't even trust the bears anymore to know whether or not we're in a bear market, even my NPC is showing green numbers, and all I do is look at charts
>>61437045Very true and there is also that the alt season that we had peaked lower than the previous alt season pic rel. We also had another mini run in July which was the exit pump. I really wonder what the next cycle will look like and if things will be front run even more this time. It's honestly possible that Bitcoin bottoms in October and from the start of the up trend we have a resurgence of alt trading as another front run by the people who run these things.
