The fourth halving of Bitcoin will begin in April 2024 and the Bitcoin market usually falls before the halving. Since Bitcoin is guaranteed to be pumped to the max after the halving, the Bitcoin market may not be bullish before April. There is no reason to despair if the Bitcoin market goes down but wait and be prepared for the Bitcoin ATH.
I have the opposite view on the market compared to you, I believe we will soon see the market recover and grow again next February. Because the halving is believed to be a strong catalyst for bitcoin's price increase, it was chosen as the reason and will help market makers create new stories to seek to attract newbies, and new money flows into the market. Like how they created the ETFs story to push bitcoin to $48k and then profit.
Furthermore, halving is the point at which miners will have to sell their bitcoins to cover their mining. Therefore, bitcoin needs to increase in price before the halving takes place to attract new investors as well as become new liquidity for the market.
That is what I think as well, I think it will keep on growing higher. But not like I am not ready for anything else neither, like if it drops, I would be still fine because I know and believe that it will keep on going higher and it will do fine. I think that's the most important part, we should be considering the situation to be a lot better and a lot more clear, we need to end up with a lot better result here and there.
We need to consider the best thing to do in this regard would be just making sure that we are going to end up with a much worse situation if we are not careful. So all in all, I think the best thing to do would be making sure that we are going to end up with a greater return if we know what we are doing.
