You probably mean "foresaw". "Forebode" is technically correct but that usage is uncommon. It normally means to have a premonition (i.e. a "foreboding").
And I would use none of those terms.
I would have said "I understood it already...." or "I realized it already....", or even "I knew it already...".
*My* reason is that I find "forebode" and "foresaw" as anachronistic in conversational English. I can't recall a time that I have used those words. I can only recall seeing them in literary works of previous generations. :-)
Forbode can only be used about something else, not oneself: "a dark cloud forbodes a tornado" is correct, but a "I forbode wrath" is not (except when forbode is the past tense of forbid -- not the usage here). "Forbode" is truly obselete. See: https://www.yourdictionary.com/forbode
On the other hand "foresaw" sounds quite natural to me; but I was born in 1940 (8-).
