Does it seem like we are ticking off boxes before true liftoff?

Since last year when BTC was ~20k, all I have been hearing is straight up Bullish BTC news amid a bearish and/or deteriorating macroeconomic picture. We had ATH earlier this year before the ETFs even came thru, yet it seems like we have been ticking off boxes in preparation for a massive lift. The ETF Incoming, the Halving, the US Presidential Election, all have been major indicators of a large tailwind in price that while it has been a 3x tailwind since that time period, still doesn't feel quite like enough, like we still have a lot of distance to go

While I understand this can be construed as a sign of a maturing market, for people that have been in a cycle or 2 it still seems like we ain't seen nothing yet. Plus, a lot of these Bullish news indicators aren't just pumping the price up for a time anymore, they are paving the way for massive, consistent growth over a longer period of time. We just haven't gotten there quite yet
