many altcoins have experienced this. but in my opinion this is not the case with Bitcoin. because Bitcoin is very consistent every year it experiences a high increase and bitcoin never falls in price or returns to its base price. ups and downs definitely occur in the exchange market but bitcoin has always survived and continues to improve every year. and this is felt by long-term Bitcoin holders
Yes, it is, because if Bitcoin can fall at its base price, then some Altcoins will find their end in the market, because the resilience of Altcoins during a correction will not be as great as Bitcoin's resistance when the market is corrected very deeply. 
Topic: What goes up must come down (Read 2834 times)
Every market has its ups and down and don't be carried away with the frenzy in the crypto market. as it is going up. it will go down later. just be observant and know when to sell. else you will loose out. currently, we are about heating toward a bull market and it looks attractive. many are jumping in thinking the market is back. as you join, be careful because the market is a trap.
Actually the market is not a trap, although there are groups of people who are able to manage it well and set a trap, but it will not always happen, because the movement of all coins in the market is purely due to supply and demand, regardless of what is deliberately made to make everyone gets interested. 
There is too much leverage and too much potential profits in crypto space today which makes me feel like I'm reliving the 2017/2018 era once again, forget the big institutions investing money on crypto, those who bought at 4000$ per BTC are already millionaires/billionaires, you can't expect them not to take profit, be prepared

Not really. Good things stay up like Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. Not a financial advice.
Its do a bit correction too, but the ones with real value will keep growing in the bigger picture
(larger timeframe)about short term gains or profits.
What goes up must come down which is normal concept because this cant be called a market if we do just seeing one path or way on where it do takes and we know that it is composed of sellers and buyers
then its just normal to have those volatile prices.
Profitability will always vary on how someone is good on playing with the waves and make himself sustainable at least.
When I remember past back how I missed opportunity in cryptocurrency.. I feel bad, but I know there is still hope even now

i think it is part of the process. the true is that some of us are yet to learn and understand how this crypto investment runs. there has been up and down and people have been loosing while some are gaining. it is a two way process. as some people are loosing, some are gaining. no matter the side you find yourself. try as much as possible to have a pull out plan to avoid loosing everything.

Not necessarily. Bitcoin is still up since its release in 2009 😉.

I think it depends on what you mean by "must come down" that is, in some cases it can be termed price correction, massive dumping or rug pull. Starting with the second type, that's the most terrible which is seen in a very big number of cases as well as associated with altcoins with no use case or pump and dump coins, so in this case once you are in profit, selling is very much adviced.
As for the first, it is normal and can be seen in mostly good coins thus providing entry for those who want to buy, because it is certain the price will increase again. Basing the comment on Bitcoin, anyone can take profit whenever they want but Bitcoin over time has shown that holders are actually better, those who have been holding Bitcoin for years now have gained a lot. Also, most times people clamour sell when in profit which is quite easier but how about buying back? That is quite tougher as most people do not get it lower, a good case is those who sold Bitcoin when it crossed it's ATH of 2018 last year, till date it hasn't dumped that much.
As for me, know what you want to achieve, that is long term or short term, also know when to take profit but endeavour to leave some bags and most importantly know that type of coins you hold, because not all that comes down must goes up.

When the bull market starts and people see that everything is green, they want to buy more and more. Then something happens, for example, some whales decide to take a profit and sell, prices start falling and as a result a big bear market. And some people consider it to be the best time to buy more, nevertheless the red market is a real disaster for others. 
The price of cryptocurrency is down accross board and I believe this trend will continue until market correct itself! This is going to be a long journey and cryptocurrency traders and investors should prepare for this long winter! It will be easier for those that took profit from the market ath! Those who do not take profit will have to wait it out or find a job to sustain themselves!
Sorry but I think it depends on how the influence drives it price. When you think that market sentiment is dieing, some influencers would just ignite the market and then it will start pumping. Though I have observed that despite the external influences, the market still look bearish but that doesn't make it bullish. The institution wouldn't want there investment burn and be at a loss.There is high hance that the market may rebound to the upside if the news momentum news keep coming. Traders and investors are now move by Elon and others.
Well, in the long run yes, there's no doubt we are heading to a better future.
However, in the current situation, we can still say that the market is manipulated because from below $20k, BTC pumped to $60k and now we are back at $30k+ at a very short period of time only, it corrected hard because the price is overpriced and we don't know how long the bear market will last.
well, but after this bear market, bitcoin price will most likely go up again. as written by TS, what goes up will definitely go down, and most likely, what goes down will go up again. well, now the bitcoin price has started to recover. maybe for starters, hitting $35k is a pretty good goal.However, in the current situation, we can still say that the market is manipulated because from below $20k, BTC pumped to $60k and now we are back at $30k+ at a very short period of time only, it corrected hard because the price is overpriced and we don't know how long the bear market will last.
People have a different mentality, as for me, it's easier for me to believe that bitcoin will recover once it will be dump hard, and since I'm open to that possibility, I don't need to worry anymore when the price dump, instead, I see it as an opportunity for a chance to accumulate at the dip.
I'm not surprised with the pump now, with the speculation that Amazon will accept bitcoin soon, it's easy for people to reach that it's a big thing, but if this will not be confirmed, we might see a big downtrend because those who made a profit from this pump might dump again to cash out.

After 2017 ago I invested a lot of crypto money and at the end of 2019 I was gloriously disappointed and almost frustrated because the price of crypto or BTC was so weak that I thought the price of btc would disappear from the face of this earth, so I took the initiative to sell the rest, it turns out I wrong and very sorry, I finally decided to rise from zero when the price had soared, so I started to get excited again because in the bounty world I have reached my target again in the crypto world, and so I can see my investment in BTC again

I am with you, i experienced also being on top which is taking profit on little investment until the time comes and all of my invested funds lost. But never give up their is always another opportunity that will lead us to success .

yeah right, that huge pumped brings another interest from newcomers, but eventually the value fall back and now it's hard to assess if what will happen next, it's been some time that the price is playing within $30k-$40k.
The direction still unknown and everything went to every investors and traders speculations, time to buy if you are aiming for long-term.
With a high hope that history will repeat itself and many good market movement will take place inside the market, while for those short-term holders, they can play continuously and try hard to bring something decent out from the market.
