Is the bear market continuing? What if? I'm sticking to my plan and assumptions. I've staked part of my portfolio on the continuation of the cycle. I didn't sell everything and didn't buy into the bear market scenario 100%. I was and am prepared to make less if the cycle ends and we're (or are) in a classic bear market. I've written many times about what needs to happen for me to capitulate. Over the past two days after the decline, I've heard a ton of slander and insults (which doesn't surprise me, as I didn't expect such a dynamic decline). However, to play like I did, you first had to take your piece of the pie out of the market. Your brain would have worked differently. In my opinion, going all-in on one scenario was a mistake. Of course, today, the one who bet on the cyclical nature and the calendar made the most money. The question is, how many people are there who sold everything? When it was high and I was taking profits, selling at levels, and writing about getting up from the table with some capital, I asked if you were ready, and what if the cycle ends? Do you have ammunition in the form of stablecoins? Are you satisfied at this stage of the market? Now I'll ask again: What if it turns out to be just a correction? A large one, but will the growth continue into 2026? A final street cleanup. This is crypto, and anything is possible here. Unrealistic? Is this a dead cat bounce? Perhaps... but I wanted to write about it because these are my thoughts. My wallet, my rules!

As I wrote about the 97k bounce, where everyone was already buying Hopium for the moon. Any bounce that's below the realized price for short-term investors should be treated as a bounce from a dead coin. If we break above 100k weekly, we can restore some hope. It would be the fastest bear market in history 🫡
