Here is what the Bitcoin market cycle looks like:

1. Smart money and early investors start accumulating Bitcoin when it is at its lowest due to the drop from the last peak.

2. Bitcoin starts to go up and more and more people hope that the price will continue to be bearish.

3. People now get excited as the price starts to go up even faster due to FOMO or Fear of Missing Out.

4. Bitcoin sits near or on it's all-time high once again consistently. This is when big investors start to sell. This is where we are as of the moment.

5. Bitcoin starts to drop down. This is when a lot of shorts and play bounces and where anxiety and denial revolve around selling.

6. People start to panic and some start selling their assets.

7. Bitcoin shrinks even more as more people decide to panic sell.

8. Bitcoin now bottoms out in quite a messy pattern sitting still on the bottom while more traders prepare to purchase.

9. Repeat.

For those keen on investing in cryptocurrency, it is important to start purchasing when prices are low and selling when prices are high. The basic principles of selling apply to cryptocurrency and it is important to acknowledge at what stage is the market at as of the moment.
