What if the bull run doesn't kick off until 2026?

This whole conversation started with franky1's post. If you've read it, then you kinda get where I'm coming from.

For sure, if we did a poll, most folks would still hope for one last bull run before bears take over. Many are holding out for something to pop off by late 2025, especially after that ATH of $109k. But considering the economy and tariff wars, things look shaky.

Exactly! The global economy’s a huge factor. What we’re seeing now could definitely sway how people feel about the market. But hey, we still have time this year to possibly see that bull run everyone’s hyped up about.

I get the historical approach, but let’s be honest past performance is not future results. Inflation and geopolitical messes can mess with the market big time. I'm not throwing my whole stack in right now, that's for sure.

I've been through two cycles and expect kinda the same again. If there's a delay, I can wait. It’s cool as long as it’s just a delay. But those waiting without a plan? They might wanna reset their expectations.

You’re right; we don’t have control here. Markets can shift patterns unexpectedly. Stay cautious. The crypto space is wild and unpredictable. Patience is key, and if new opportunities pop up, we buy and hold until the market moves.

Government actions can swing the market in any direction. Economic wars have a ripple effect but bitcoin isn’t just tied to one thing. Plenty of reasons for price shifts. Just gotta hang tight for that bigger bull run.

Totally, if this keeps up, we might miss that bull run this year. We’ll just have to keep building our bitcoin portfolios for when it finally skyrockets.

Can’t call it yet if we’re in a bear market or if bull vibes will stick around. We’ve seen worse times, but now it feels different with politics at play.

Yeah, Trump claims to be a crypto fan. If he takes charge, maybe he’ll make it easier for people to adopt bitcoin. But his tariff game? That could slow things down. A bull run this year? Really depends.

I think the current price of bitcoin is still on track for a bull momentum. Sure, we’ve seen corrections, but calling it a bear market feels a bit premature. We’ve got months left this year to make history.

Remember 2020? The market tanked, and then BOOM, new ATH for bitcoin. Geopolitical issues won’t stop that from happening again. Just buckle up and ride it out.

If not this year, there’s always next year. Newcomers can still get in and hold for the long run. Older investors? They’ll probably keep holding for better profits.

I hear you on current market reality, but bitcoin has always had its surprises. Just gotta stick to those four-year cycles like franky1 said. Hoping for that new ATH in 2025, not the later months.

I believe we’ll see a market recovery once tariffs settle down. If peace happens, the bull run could come quicker than expected. But yeah, it’s all a guess right now.

Invest what you can afford to lose, for sure. And expect the unexpected in this volatile market. If the bull run doesn’t happen in 2025, it’ll be a first for us. We’ll just have to deal with that.

Sure, we can speculate all day, but predicting the future is tricky. The market isn’t what it used to be. Even doubling current prices may seem ambitious. We’ve gotta be realistic.

Yes, manipulation plays a role, but let’s not stress over whether the bull run happens in 2025 or 2026. Focus on accumulating and see how it unfolds.

I still say the bull season isn’t over. I’m optimistic for another ATH soon. But if Trump’s policies mess things up, it could be a different story.

Hitting a new all-time high before the halving? That’s already a twist in history. Even if history doesn’t repeat, bitcoin will bounce back. It’s a financial market with its ups and downs.
