Unfortunately markets, Bitcoin included, are not the place for wishful thinking. If your (price) expectations disconnect from reality, you may end up very disappointed.
i know what you mean when i started i lost to many in altcoins that in that moment i was thinking will be good and thye turn out to bee bad
same is here we all expect but in the end it will just remain like it is
The thing is to make sure you really see what is happening on the charts, not what you want to see. Most of the people in this forum is hyping halving, without even stopping for a moment and thinking how it can influence the price (not necessarily in a positive way). I am not bearish on the price, but I don't see the reason to reach $1k this year.
