Bitcoin's been dancing around 80K for roughly three weeks now. Feels endless, doesn't it?

But here's the thing—last year we watched price action grind sideways for nearly nine months straight. February through November, just... waiting. Then boom, BTC ripped 50% higher before throwing us back into another consolidation phase.

The pattern's familiar if you zoom out. These sideways zones test your patience until they don't. Every bottom eventually becomes someone's "I wish I bought there" moment.

Market cycles don't care about your timeline. They move when liquidity decides, not when your portfolio wants action.
