Most traders think surviving a bear market is about holding.

It's not.

It's about positioning before the crowd realizes what's happening.

In 2018, while everyone was panic-selling, a handful of wallets quietly accumulated $ETH at $80-120. Those same wallets didn't sell at $300 in 2019. They didn't sell at $1,500 in early 2021. They finally took profit between $3,500-$4,800.

That's a 30-40x from their average entry.

But here's what nobody talks about: they didn't chase pumps. They bought capitulation — the moment where weak hands give up and price discovery breaks down.

The pattern repeats every cycle:

→ Massive drawdown (50-80%)

→ Sideways consolidation (3-6 months)

→ Fake-out rallies that trap late bulls

→ Final flush before accumulation begins

Right now? We're somewhere between step 2 and 3.

Most people will wait for "confirmation." They'll buy the breakout at +40% and ride it back down. The real edge is buying the range — when it's boring, when sentiment is dead, when your friends tell you crypto is over.

If you're waiting for certainty, you're already late.

The best entries don't feel good. They feel risky, uncomfortable, and contrarian. That's the point.

Study the wallets. Learn the structure. Position before the narrative shifts.

Bear markets make millionaires. Bull markets reveal them.
