The BTC market is unpredictable in the short term, but longer term the obvious patterns form.  If you are a long term bull, then trade on the long term patterns.  Buy/accumulate when the market is bottomed and no one cares, sell near top of rallies.  Then be patient to get back in, because a rally bubble can take a while to unwind. A LONG while.  There may even be several mini bull runs/short squeezes along the way, but ultimately the price ends up bottoming out way lower and all volume/volatility dies.
