When the crypto market was driven by market makers and whales

It caused very high orange volatility..
The current cycle has not even reached half the distance and there is no rally uptrend
Is it correct to say that the current cycle is like the previous one?
If it is like the previous one..
The easiest way is to exit the market and stick to the cycle timing and miss opportunities
But is the current cycle identical to the previous one?
The precise answer: No, and it is not a duplicated version..
Why? 👇
Today’s market has changed in 3 fundamental points:
1. Larger institutional liquidity entry and different liquidity distribution
2. Higher regulation and oversight that reduce sharp randomness
3. Selectivity in upward movement instead of a broad wave across all coins
Therefore, we see:
1. An upward trend exists but is not synchronized across coins
2. Less explosive rallies and longer durations
3. More profit distribution rather than a single large wave
The correct approach is not copying cycles, but reading:
1. Where is the liquidity moving now
2. Which coins are actually benefiting
3. How does risk behavior change within the market
Educational summary:
Cycles change in shape, but the idea of the cycle itself is not eliminated
