Patient is one of the key every BTC holders must embrace when waiting for bull market to come, because is a type of season every long and short BTC holders want to see before the end of the year before they can visit the market to sell. I bought BTC early last year when the price was $20k, and the price has taken a good step early this year to hit $30k which is very close to my expectations before I will start selling my BTC to have another opportunity to buy and hold for another bull to come. If you can endure with the current price situation, and hold not to allow any challenges make you to sell in this condition, I guess you will make a huge amount of profits from your holding soon. If the price of BTC reach $40k next month will you sell? I know many people will not sell until the price reach $100k, which it will take a long years before such dream will come to pass. What is your opinion.
Your whole title is contradicting itself. IF you are patient you are not expecting anything happening soon and you need to adjust your expectations indefinitely. It might be months, or years depending how patient you are going yo be but "patience" and "soon" in a same sentence is a premise of a joke.
Imho people trying to make few percentages in crypto haven't grasped the potential of extremely volatile markets. I have seen many newbs making peanuts by day trading alts and btc and people who just forgot they owned alts and made insane profits. New assets need new approaches. Traditional ways and generic trading doesn't necessarily apply here. Or at least people doing that aren't making the most of this scene.
