If bitcoin hits 1000$, it means that all the investors in the cryptocurrencies market will be in severe loss as none can bear the loss with a portfolio close to zero. So this is never going to happen and if anyone is thinking that bitcoin will reach 1000$, he does not have a sense of bitcoin and financial markets.
Also, note that bitcoin did not reach these prices in the covid dump in March 2020, how can it reach at this low value now or in near future ?
I'm a little doubtful if bitcoin really went down at the price of $1,000, almost all investors think twice about buying back bitcoin, almost all investors when bitcoin is at a high price want bitcoin to go down as fast as possible at a low price. But when they have the opportunity to buy bitcoin at a price that is cheap enough they are afraid and worried that bitcoin might create another low price.
Bitcoin has dropped several times to a slightly cheaper price but most investors are still waiting for the opportunity to buy bitcoin at a lower price, but in fact Bitcoin has actually gone up significantly. I have with many time imagine from investors because almost of them just talking only without have braveness for buying bitcoin when have chance at lower price.
I agree with your doubt, a lot of investors always make the claim that they will buy bitcoin when bitcoin price drops or when bitcoin hits $1000, they will buy regardless.
Honestly, I don't believe what they say either, of course when the bitcoin price is high we all want it to drop to buy in, but once it drops, even plummets beyond imagination, people will extreme panic than they will want to buy it. If bitcoin hits $1000 I guess most people will run away, few stay. I myself do not dare to risk if bitcoin reaches that price, I will analyze the situation carefully before making a decision.
