My question is: what's the fate of late investors?
To be honest, the fate of new investors, especially those who missed out on thinking that the myths of the cycle which I always warn about would forever repeat itself. The only cycle in season which I recognise in Bitcoin is the bearish and the bullish seasons, and this doesn't necessarily have to follow the history exactly as it was. Now, I believe Bitcoin is still promising to move forward but the late investors should be so careful since we do not certainly know what it will do. And if Bitcoin would rise at all, it may not surpass $130,000 until the next bearish season. This means that they can only make barely x2 of their investment this bullish season.
Does this new price or trend that seems to evade the usual of a bullish trend after the halving affect anything significantly?
That is my grave concern now. Bitcoin has done what it has not done since it was created, so anything absurd could happen. This calls for caution by everyone, still, according to the market principle, a breach of the all-time high and also a close above it, especially the monthly chart close above the level could mean further bullish movements. So, let's wait and see as we let our chart guide us on the next steps to take and not be a blind follower like most people.
What are we to expect in this market after now?
At this point, I would advise you to remain neutral but expect further bullish impacts since the long-term trend of Bitcoin is bullish. Nonetheless, you should get ready for some other huge bearish corrections, anything can happen. Above all, as I advised above, be more speculative rather than accepting any condition as it comes.
