Bitcoin has always been volatile. The price has had huge gains this year so a correction is not only not surprising but it is to be expected. The price can't just rise forever without some pull back especially if the increases happen over such a short period of time.
I've said many times that these prices are too high for me to buy. I wouldn't even consider buying now unless the price drops below $3000 and even then it seems high. I've bought most of what I have below $1000 and some as low as $200 so these prices seem a bit crazy. I'm glad for the higher prices, I just won't buy at these prices.
