I stared at these three charts for a long time, and the more I looked, the more alarmed I became.
History may not repeat itself in a simple way, but it always clings to the same rhyme.
If you compare the eve before the uptrend of the three bull markets—2019, 2023, and 2026—you’ll find that the market’s patterns are astonishingly consistent.
They all go through a period of “despair.”
Before the real main surge begins, they all experience a wave of brutal sell-offs and long periods of sideways, range-bound volatility.
This kind of consolidation is extremely tormenting—its purpose is to wear down every last shred of patience among retail investors, and to shake out anyone whose will is not firm enough.
They all have a “golden boarding zone.”
Just like the horizontal line areas I marked on these three charts.
These spots are often the strong support levels from the previous cycle.
Institutional capital completes its final accumulation here, and then quietly gathers momentum—starting the next magnificent wave of bull market momentum.
If you’re currently going through a consolidation like this—watching your account’s unrealized gains and losses every day and feeling restless, even beginning to doubt yourself—then stop and take a close look at these three charts.
What you’re experiencing right now is the most standard and classic “accumulation phase” before a bull market starts.
Trading isn’t about who can run faster, but about who can last longer.
In the darkest times, what you need to do isn’t panic—it’s to stay clear-headed, control your hands, and hold on to your coins.
History has proven countless times that those who can keep their rules in despair will eventually wait for their own starry sea.
In the crypto world, opportunities are never in short supply—the real shortage is people who are willing to wait for those opportunities and who can hold steady.
I’ll leave the light on—whether you go or not is up to you to decide.
