Bearish, it is not. It is a correction after over ride and failure of all time high breaking attempt from bitcoin. To rise higher, bitcoin need to go through corrections like what it is on going now to have organic growth. Rising and rising day by day and week by week without correction will create another bubble. If you regret that you miss a chance to take profit, I advise you to be calm and patient, other chances are waiting ahead in next year.
Exactly, I don't know how the OP call this a bearish trend when bitcoin are still way above the $16k-$17k threshold. Maybe we have lost close to $2 million during that dump, but it doesn't mean that we are going bearish from then on.
Bitcoin will break that resistance and make a new all time high next year. People try to say bitcoin will get a price at $100000 to $500000 that is I don't know. A new all time high is what I am believing in and I aim at $50000 to take profit next year.
There is also this narrative, which could be true, in order to reach a new all time high, bitcoin could face a lot of storm. So just continue to stack sats and wait next year, as the bull run might go insane.
and for the difference, bitcoin has climbed very high and almost meeting the ATH. Definitely, it has been a smooth movement for bitcoin since it touched 10,000 for the second time this year.
