I remember a post I read here that showed the minimums each year and 2017 had a minimum of $700 and max of $20k whereas 2018 had a minimum of $3200 which means even though the high was really high 2017 had a lower low. I wish this $3200 bottom for the year stays otherwise this new $3k range could be really dangerous.
I think your fear is going to be reality, but the good news is opportunity to enter the market at a cheap price. I'm expecting another few weeks in the $3ks followed by a fast crash down to the low $2ks, simply because the halving is so far away and there isn't any other compelling reason for a bull run to start this year.
