Do you remember early October? At that time, the crypto community was all looking forward to the arrival of the Altcoin Season, as if a rebound was just around the corner. But after mid-October, the atmosphere completely changed. Bitcoin's performance made people start to doubt—does it still have a story to tell? Is there still a future?
This cycle of waiting has never stopped. Waiting for non-farm payroll data to judge the Fed's mood, watching CPI data to see how inflation is really doing, holding onto every rumor about the Fed's rate cut meetings, and paying attention to the Bank of Japan's movements—as if these data could determine the life or death of the coin prices.
The technical side is not idle either. Options expiration, monthly chart recovery, Christmas holiday ending... so many things happening, each one like a savior, each one waiting. Waiting and waiting, and then the New Year is almost here.
This cycle repeats year after year. What about next year? What are we waiting for then?

To be honest, that wave in October now seems ridiculous when I think about it. It's always like this—non-farm payrolls, CPI, central banks—it's as if the entire global economy depends on the crypto prices' mood. And the result? Still waiting here.
It's the same every year, I'm numb to it.

Wait, wait, year after year has just passed like this. It's hilarious, we've really become masters of anticipation.
---
What about October's hope? It was shattered long ago. The promised "knockoff season," and me?
---
It's always like this. There's always a savior in sight, but the result is just more entrapment.
---
Non-farm payrolls, CPI, interest rate cuts—I’ve heard so much about them that my ears are calloused. Will the coin price fall or keep falling?
---
Instead of staring at these data, why not think about how to survive next year?
---
Year after year, this cycle just can't stop.
---
Haha, we've all become news robots—eating while watching data, sleeping while monitoring central bank movements.
---
Options expiration is coming again. Every time, we say it's the bottom, but what’s the result?

This cycle is really incredible, year after year it's the same script, just a different coat of paint.
---
It's really just scaring ourselves, every time saying this time is different.
---
Wait, wait, wait, a year just passed like that, and the realization came too late.
---
To put it plainly, there's no certainty, so we have to rely on these data to hypnotize ourselves.
---
I actually believed it in October, now looking back, it's a bit embarrassing haha.
---
Instead of waiting for a savior, it's better to think about whether your own strategy needs to change.
---
Crypto anxiety disorder patients are online now, maybe next year we should just keep waiting.
---
Non-farm, CPI, rate cuts... these words are exhausting to hear, can't they come up with some new tricks?
---
Staring at the charts every day just to wait for a turning point, but in the end, it's all in vain.

Honestly, I also believed in the October wave of expectations, but the reality hit me back so quickly. Now I’m so numb from watching the market.
Waiting for non-farm payrolls, CPI, and Federal Reserve decisions, I feel like I’ve become a data machine. What about next year? Just keep waiting, anyway, no one can escape this cycle.
Every time, we say this one is the savior, but what happens? We have to wait for the next one.
It’s just gambling, really, we just dress it up as something formal.
It’s the same every year. Next year, I guess, we’ll come up with new reasons to wait.

Wait, I've been waiting for a whole year and it's still the same. I'm really a bit tired. Instead of staring at the data, it's better to study the project itself more. By the way, is the copycat season still reliable now?

Haha, this is the crypto world, always waiting for the next savior to arrive.
Wait, wait, wait, a year just like that has passed, and next year continues the cycle? Laughs.
What happened to the anticipation in October? It has suddenly turned into self-doubt. Bitcoin's acting skills are impressive.
