None of the expectations of Bitcoin this year failed if you noticed and judged based on the time when the bullish market started which happened early and last than the previous market. Therefore, the BTC market breakout now because of the previous bullish trend, and the FUD in the market.
This 2023 market is like 2019 market. Both years are in a last year of bear market and they are both preparation for coming halvings one year later. Bitcoin broke out from $30,000 and is bullish now but I will not trade it at this moment. Because after the break out, it can rise a lot to $40,000 or $45,000. Trading it now is risky and if I sell it, it rises more, I will lose my bitcoin, can not buy it back with same amount.
I am holding my bitcoin now, hold very tightly, more tightly than recent weeks.
Moreover, the market trend shouldn't be expected to be totally intact with the previous market since the crypto market is a volatile market.
It is a very volatile market and even in bullish trend, you can lose your money too. If you use leverage, futures trading, you can have more risk to lose.
