RE: Don't worry, this isn't likely the end of the Bull Market in Bitcoin...

That's the thing about corrections: they are easier to call in retrospect.

While it was happening Jan 3rd was a "healthy correction" and then when the market bounced back to all time highs it became a "temporary flash crash". Has enough time passed for this dip to not qualify as a "temporary flash crash"? I think the answer lies in the next local peak. If we get batted down by resistance before making another all time high it will be obvious.

Sort:  

January 3rd didn't drop by 22% in less than 24 hours... apples and oranges

It was a 20% drop in 24 hours.
So no I guess it wasn't 22%.

I hadn't realized it went over 20%, that is interesting. There is no guarantee how long the correction will last or how low it will go. Some only lasted a week or two while others lasted multiple weeks from peak to trough. Not a single correction in 2017 went more than 38% from peak to trough and they seemed to get shorter in duration the further along the rally went.
