A few hours ago i was optimistic that bitcoin price would soon enter $50k, unfortunately almost 5% correction happened again and made a drop below $45k, but we still have a lot of time to be able to reach $80k and even more, see developments and issues regarding bitcoin I have no doubt that 2022 will skyrocket at least 3x from today's prices or pass $100k soon.
I do not think that it should matter as much as you think. The price hit under 45k, reached 44.4k as the lowest point and it is already above 46k+ right now. Which proves my point that bitcoin having very short term falls doesn't mean anything on the route to being higher.
I personally believe that the best way to approach crypto is to realize that you could see it go to 44k today, and 48k tomorrow and 40k next day. The volatile is not bounded by anything and it could do anything. If you are unsure about the situation we are in right now, then you need to look at the situation all over again. we were under 38k just a month ago, under 33k like a couple months ago, now we are talking about 48k, that is insane volatility.
It's already a given fact though, bitcoin is volatile but there should be factors on why the price is behaving like that.
It could be that after reaching all time high, people sold that's why the price goes down hard to $33k. And then there is the looming war that eventually happen, but on the flip side, it went as high as $48k. So really hard to see where the price is going because of what is going on around us. It could have an negative effect or positive on the market price.
