My answer is simple, most crypto enthusiasts are low income earners. They all need money during this period to do shopping and buy stuffs
So, the preaching of hodl does not have impact on them. They need cash at this period. So dip must continue until February...
Those that have the strength and confidence to buy more at this point too are middle income earner, they don't have enough to pump the price.
Meanwhile those that have enough to pump the price are still watching on when to buy, they have the money and they are willing to buy at the lowest price...
So, crypto will continue to dip at least till after New Year celebration.
So, don't panic, the price will continue to dip...
My opinion though.
It doesnt make sense. I think that people are investing only money, what they do not need. And currently it is not the best time for exchanging crypto into fiat money because you loose a lot.
