Maybe we'll see a new ATH again this February. bitcoin has again broken through the psychological level of $40k in the last few weeks, even now the price of bitcoin is in the range of $45k. It looks like the current rise will continue and will go towards the next resistance level in the range of $50k and it doesn't even rule out the possibility of bitcoin price breaking through last year's ATH in the next few weeks.
ATH may not be achieve this month or even this year if there will be no hype or new mass adoption. The legalizing of Russia can result in ATH if ever it will be implemented this year as many investors from them can invest in bitcoin or crypto projects. Though it’s still nice that the market is recovering from the correction it been experiencing since the start of the year and hearing news of adoption from a big country can lead for it’s continuously recovery.
ATH is not something that I worry about all that much. At the end of the day it will break over ATH "one day" anyway, I am not worried about it and it will happen. What I worry about is the price staying low until the end of the month. If it can stay there until the end of the month then I will get paid my salary before it goes up. That way we are going to end up buying a bit more crypto before it goes up with salary and then we are going to end up with something a lot higher when the price goes up. That's the type of income you could make and the profit you will make will be a lot huge.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to see bitcoin stay low and expecting it to stay that way until we can buy a bit more.
If we think too much about when ATH will be reached, it just stresses us out, as Bitcoin price is still struggling to rise above $40k again.
Like you said ATH will definitely be reached one day, because we can learn from previous Bitcoin price movements. Which is where Bitcoin
always manages to return to the ATH price, so it's better for us to just focus on collecting Bitcoin for now. So when the Bitcoin price manages
to rise and return to the ATH price, we can enjoy big profits. That's why I buy Bitcoin regularly every month, even though it's only around $100,
but if I consistently accumulate it will be great too. My advice is not to monitor the market too often, it will make us hesitate to buy Bitcoin.
