Good to hear that. The panic is just too much..
The panic is intentional. A lot of pretty new accounts "planted" quite a number of threads only in this forum to increase the uncertainty.
Somebody has panicked when the price reached $5000 and now tries to buy

The fluctuations are normal. I expect one more rise and then one more fall in the near future.
if it was deliberate just to lower the value and they bought it, then now is the advantage to buy bitcoin / altcoin for those who believe that the price will increase again.
The price of bitcoins was 3824 dollars when I last checked it. Not for a moment I am saying that it is cheap, it is still very expensive but there has been a relief for investors now. The price will be decreasing for next 12 hours at least and now is the best time to buy bitcoins. However, selling won't do any good.
