Exactly. While prices have increased recently, they've declined considerably within yesterday. Still, this should be no reason to panic as Bitcoin has all the probability of rising further in price because of the demand it will experience in the future. Not to mention, the halving event will greatly contribute towards higher prices on the market. Instead of panicking ourselves, we should be calmed knowing that Bitcoin is and will always be the "King of Cryptocurrencies" on the market.
In case something goes wrong, we could always resort to stablecoins which are good at retaining the value of 1 USD. A portion of your investment should be allocated to such coins, while the rest should be put into Bitcoin. This is to minimize risks and losses once a bear market takes place within crypto land. You would simply invest, and forget as you'll be able to obtain bigger rewards over time.
Nonetheless, I believe that we're still in a bear market since most cryptocurrencies haven't increased exponentially in price unlike in the year of 2017. A few months or years may be needed before the next upsurge in price occurs within the crypto market anytime soon. Just my opinion
