How long was Bitcoin at 6k last time around? 6 weeks at least if I recall correctly. The consensus at the time was that of a solidifying levels, consolidating, accumulation, stabilisation, etc. All in preparation for the huge rally that never came. Of course, this is just 6 months ago and almost 100% up from 2019 lows.
My thoughts immediately? 6 months is too short in between for a giant staging.
