This usually happens, when the market shows an increase even though it is small then I believe the market will skyrocket soon, for those who have known the market for at least 3 years of course understand this pattern and I don't panic even though the market is corrected in early December until now significantly.
The price of bitcoin has gone back up to 51k today and considering last week we were struggling at the 45k levels, this is an improvement if not a sign for a bullish buying pressure which I was hoping to see gradually.
I think currently it needs a large enough volume to destabilize the currency bull trend and that cannot be sustained for long making the bearish trends only short lived and sudden in nature.
My suggestion would be to wait and watch if you in the buying mood, dont buy now when the price is on the higher side, that is a mistake. But you must buy when the price dips below 45k and goes towards 40k USD.
I am expecting some more drops to the 40k levels pretty soon or else we are going to 60k if bullish pressure is strong enough.
Expect the altcoins to go in the similar manner, you can buy those too if you wish back when the bitcoin price drops. But dont forget that bitcoin is the gold standard, rest all are not comparable to it.
