Don't wait for the halving in a bull market! History proves: smart money has already positioned itself in advance.

It is said that Bitcoin halving is the engine of the bull market, but data tells you the truth: the bull market has already started before the halving.

Looking back at the last cycle: $BTC 2022 November 2022, the bear market reached its bottom ($15,000), but the real momentum began in September 2023 ($25,000) — at that time, there were still a full 5 months until the 2024 halving! By the time of the 2024 halving, the price had already broken through the previous high, with a pre-halving increase of 176%, while the post-halving increase was only 82%.

The market is always trading in advance. So where is the key point for the next round (April 2028 halving)?

Bull market timeline:

• Key positioning period: October to December 2026

• Market activation period: starting August 2027

• Sprint phase: before December 2027 or has already broken through the previous high

• Selling window: 2028–2029

Why do most people always miss the bottom? Because the trap at the end of the bear market is a “consensus” of short sellers created by the market. The monthly line forms a straight line; clearly, there is limited downward space, yet most people are still trained to think “a rebound is a short point.” Sideways, declining, false breakthroughs… all of this reinforces the illusion that “rises are not trustworthy.”

The real bull market often starts suddenly when the bears are the most convinced and the least willing to admit they are wrong. When you feel hopeless and everywhere you look is bearish, the turning point may already be in front of you.

Retail strategy:

Don’t try to accurately buy the bottom; dollar-cost averaging is the way to go. Position gradually when no one is paying attention, and exit calmly when the crowd is celebrating. If the market shows extreme undervaluation (for example, falling below the mining machine shutdown price), that is actually the time to increase your position.

Remember: bull markets do not wait for anyone, and they do not happen after everyone is prepared. $ETH $ZEC
