The crypto market is an interesting thing.  In fact, it is very much an entity onto itself.  This entity seems to live and breathe, sometimes in concert with the rest of the world, while other times, dancing to its own tune.

While the current crypto winter has definitely been impacted by inflation in the United States, the war in Ukraine and President Biden’s Executive Order on crypto, the fact is, the crypto market downtrend started in 2021. 

Perhaps it was the pandemic, the civil unrest or the weather-caused natural disasters that triggered the downtrend.  But on the flipside, the crypto market saw all-time highs in 2021 for some of its largest coins. 

I have a ton of theories, thoughts and opinions on why the market moves as it does, what impacts it and where the future is going, but I’ll save those for a deeper dive.  However, I can confidentially say that our current crypto winter is just about over. 

To be fair, this doesn’t mean we won’t have another downtrend later this year.  We probably will… and that’s OK.

Like stocks, crypto cannot infinitely increase.  It needs corrections.  It needs consolidations.  Consider your crypto journey as walking a staircase to the moon.  Every step has a plateau to it, and at times you need to take a step back before you can continue your journey.

I hope you’ve been using this time to add to your position, whether that is in the stock or crypto markets.  Retail investors often buy when things are on an up-swing, which is actually the worst time for entry.  The major coins likely will never be at these prices again. 

I started in with $BTC when it was $5,000, and for all the plummets it has had since, Ive never come close to buying it at those prices since.  Five years from now, we will look back and say the same thing about the $35,000 mark.

I see our window of opportunity closing by the end of March.  From there, the market will continue its journey upward. 

This is not financial advice.  I am not a financial advisor.  I have nothing to sell you.  Never invest more than you can afford to lose, and always consult an actual financial advisor before making any investment decision.

That being said, I don’t want this post to be too long, so I’ll end with this…

The world continues to throw us tragedy after tragedy, most all of them caused by mankind ourselves.  But inevitably, seasons change.  The crypto winter is no different.
