Current Range is a Trap: The market is consolidating to bait retail into longing.

Big Dip Ahead: Anticipated capitulation mirroring past cycles (~70–80% drop).

May 2026 = Cycle Bottom: Historically in sync with ~1.5 years post-halving (Apr 2024).

No Altseason This Cycle: Suggesting dominance stays with BTC; alts won’t see usual hype runs.

🔮 Potential Strategic Implications

Short-Term Traders: May want to stay cautious on longs at current levels.

Investors: Consider planning buys near the projected 2026 bottom zone ($30k–$40k region in your yellow box).

Alts Investors: Rebalance expectations — instead of a broad altseason, focus on strong fundamentals and real-world use cases.
