What are veterans doing before a real bull market starts?

The bull market in the eyes of a novice is the trending topics on Weibo, the homepage of Binance, and news of tokens skyrocketing by 50%;

but in the eyes of veterans, a bull market is a period of extreme dullness, boredom, and silence.

You see the rise, they see: "Before the rise, the main players are quietly accumulating."

A real bull market is never initiated with noise; it is constructed in silence.

What are veterans doing before the bull market?

1. Scanning on-chain data, observing changes in address behavior. When funds shift from Ethereum to a certain L2, they already know that on-chain competition is about to begin.

2. Preemptively positioning narrative nodes. For example, when new narratives like AI, RWA, and modularization are just being discussed, ordinary people are still hesitant, but veterans have already tested with 0.5 ETH.

3. Building content matrices and community assets. A bull market is not driven by technology but by "influence in calling trades" and expanding information barriers for increased returns.

They know: A bull market doesn’t come suddenly; it is gradually laid out.

And when you see "the bull market is here," they have already started to reduce their positions, even sending out encouragement in the community that "it will go higher next" because someone needs to catch their chips.

So ask yourself a question: If you are still waiting for bull market news now, you are already a cycle behind the real earners.
