The overall market is still in a state of oscillation with slight downward movement. The secondary test of the bottom on the daily chart has not yet been completed. In theory, we still need to wait until the support level is tested again before the market has a chance to rebound. However, even if there is a rally, it can only be considered a rebound rather than a reversal. Therefore, expectations for the first half of this year are definitely very low.
Recently, the market has been quite dull. Seeing UNI suddenly surge a few days ago with positive news about capital investment was just a V-shaped correction, indicating that the market has very little confidence in the current crypto space. Look at the altcoins that have risen over the past two years—how many can you name? Frankly, they are just tools used by whales to harvest profits. It’s really not as good as the DeFi Summer before; at least back then, there were some opportunities for retail investors in the secondary market.
Overall, the current assessment of the crypto space is that there is no hope, and this is not the first time. In previous bear markets, similar comments were everywhere. It’s like every bull market, the market is filled with claims of an eternal bull run, each with different reasons. This time, the disappointment in the crypto space is similar to before, but the reasons are different.
What I want to say is that in the coming months, it will still be very tough. We must be mentally prepared. However, in the long run, the next few months could actually be an excellent opportunity for crypto investment. Generally speaking, when everyone is FUDding, it often marks the bottom of the price range. Now, it seems like everyone is calling for a fight, but in my opinion, the final bottom is not too far away.
