It’s so perfectly aligned that it feels like we’re living in a simulation.
I wonder if the current situation is similar to the 2024 halving narrative:
“We’ve never had a new ATH before a halving.” “The four-year cycle says there must be a drop before the halving, then a new ATH.” “Sell the news.”
Etc., etc.
We all know how that ended: a brutal new ATH before the halving, and every bear was wiped out.
The same people who were pushing that nonsense are now repeating the exact same script: •“The bull market is over because of the four-year cycle” (most of them don’t even understand how the four-year cycle is measured) •“This is just a relief rally to max 100–105k (daily MA200), then a nuke to new lows” •“2026 will be a bear market year” •“There will be no alt season this cycle”
And yet 99% believe this right now.
I just wonder: will MMs really allow every single person on X to short the 100–105k zone, ride it to new lows, and make money in 2026?
All this while: •alts are trading below 2022 bear-market levels •BTC dominance is at 60% •the market has been in Extreme Fear for two months
