Looking at the weekly chart of Bitcoin and this wave of rebound, it has some interesting similarities to the structure during previous bear markets— the resemblance is already quite high. This comparison is not a bold prediction, but rather a more cautious approach to risk management.



But there is a very interesting phenomenon here that is worth reflecting on: you can see the clues just by scanning your own watchlist. Those who are bullish are surrounded by analysts and bloggers with optimistic analyses. Conversely, traders who are bearish are mostly sharing bearish KOLs. In other words, we are all caught in an information cocoon—opinions reinforce emotions, and emotions, in turn, filter the information. This is not a criticism of anyone, just the normal state of the market. True hedging might first require hedging our own cognitive biases.

The concept of an information cocoon hits close to home; I often find myself being led by the rhythm.

The weekly chart structure is indeed something to keep an eye on, but honestly, the most painful part is the information cocoon... I'm also stuck in this trap. The ones truly making money are probably those who go against their own information flow. Reinforcing opinions to boost emotions, then filtering information in reverse, creating a vicious cycle... this is the root cause of losing money. You have to be ruthless and unfollow a bunch of bullish accounts, and actively go check out bearish analyses.

That really hits home. I'm now afraid to open Twitter and look at the bullish posts. The information cocoon is indeed hard to break, and it takes disciplined reverse thinking. A weekly chart structure being similar doesn't necessarily mean history will rhyme or fully repeat itself. You really need to listen to the opposing views, or you're just deceiving yourself. That's why many people lose money—they're not even aware that they're living in a filter.

Indeed, the information cocoon hits the sore spot --- Both bullish and bearish views are cycling within their own echo chambers, making it really hard to break out --- Risk contingency plans are reliable, but first you need to hedge against your own biases --- That's why most people can't make money... they're trapped by their own perceptions --- The weekly chart structure does look similar, but the question is who can truly reflect on themselves --- Instead of analyzing candlesticks, it's better to first examine your information sources --- The heartbreaking part is that realizing you're in a cocoon and actually breaking out are two different things

Wake up, we're all just having fun in our own information bubbles.
