I'm a long term investor and used to seeing the price of Bitcoin turning up and down. Hence, it's not surprising anymore if the market currently is not what many investors expected it to be (turning bullish because of the near halving). So if you dyor before investing to Bitcoin, you'll understand how it works because you track its past history and aware of what happened in the past.

Thus, if you're a new investor and losing hope due to the current condition, remember that this is just temporary. It can help if you stop monitoring the market and forget for a while the price to prevent stressing yourself and thinking how long the bear season will last. It's part of the cycle and it has an advantage for investors waiting to buy at cheaper price.
