The believe that btc will raise again or record a new ath is not in question, how low the price will go and the time it will take for btc to recover is the main concern with many investors if am not mistaken. Btc has never fallen below its previous ath according to the @op but right now it looks like history has been broken, there is a new history now.
At this point, we can only seat back and watch how btc free fall to what would be the bottom, nothing much to do.This is the best time to dca, a life changing opportunity.
For long-term investors, they don't think much about how long it will take for the bitcoin price to rise and how long it will take because they are not in a rush to sell their bitcoins. Whenever the price of bitcoin falls, they try to buy more bitcoins because they know that it is a discount time for them. We can also use the moment when the price of bitcoin falls, namely by making small purchases gradually.
It looks like what is happening is going to be a painful drop and a lot of people expected 20K to be the lowest bitcoin price but in reality it's more than 20K, and currently the bitcoin price is 19K and I hope it doesn't hit 18K. And if that happens I think 15K will also be reached and if it's not strong enough to sustain it, 13k is also possible and maybe 10k is the end of a very painful drop.
no one can predict the bitcoin price accurately even those who are experts, because the ups and downs of bitcoin are influenced by various elements and include weak hands.
and what we have to do now is to be sincerely patient and buy every drop of it and hold it no matter how long it takes the price to rise again or reach a new ATH.
The bitcoin price has already hit $18k in its previous dip and while it may now go up to $20k, that doesn't mean we're going to see a $21k price soon or even another high. There is a possibility that the price will still go up and down every day and we should be prepared to use that opportunity. But I'm still worried that after this, the bitcoin price will drop deeper than yesterday because a deeper decline could occur.
