Yes I believe the bearish phase will continue, since the macroeconomic conditions of world has not normalized so far, but there will be price pumps in between. Now there will be a phase of pump and dump, but hodlers don't need to worry, later on there will be rally in bitcoin market. Yes it will take some time so please don't panic.
we already hit more than 21k as we speak. though we don't know where this is heading but i believe we are already hearing good news from this community. i think those who bought at 17k are happy that we surpassed the 20k level. however, as we know that this is not the end of this market, very high possibility that it will go up again in the next coming months.
if you are confident in this market, you can even collect some during this level.
I really hope that 17k was the worst that we are going to see during this bear market, however the next halving is still very far away and the economy is not doing well either, so I think it is entirely possible that we could see yet another important drop in the price during the next year, and when that happens we cannot let such a drop surprise us, and instead we need to take full advantage of it as I do not think those cheap prices will last for long.
We all hope that Bitcoin doesn't fall again, but if you see the price of Bitcoin is still struggling to rise above the $25k price again, there is a possibility
that the price of Bitcoin will fall again. Although I'm like you hoping that $17k is the lowest price, but it seems our hopes are rather difficult
to come true. In the end we have to learn to control our emotions in a bear market situation like now, because the price of Bitcoin is very difficult
to predict. At least if we can control our emotions, then we will not panic easily and can be patient if it turns out that the market is getting worse.
Because the key to a successful investment in Bitcoin is to have the patience to hold Bitcoin until the market recovers. Moreover, it is true that
no matter how deep the price of Bitcoin falls, it will not last long, Bitcoin can always recover. So please never sell the Bitcoin that we have at
a low price, if indeed we want to succeed in making a profit from investing in Bitcoin.
