simply I can say that ups and downs in the price for short periods is called price corrections. You can also use price volatility and price fluctuations. These all terms are used when the price goes up and down again and there is no stability in the price. You can also use the word variation in the price, but variation to some extent is different from correction.
Corrections will always be part of every market and there is certainly no way we can run away from it, and now this can differ based on the condition of the market most of the time. For instance, we have had some pretty good healthy corrections for a while now and there is a possibility to start seeing some growth, but the main idea of correction is to find a balance for the market to continue its uptrend and it is always a good time to buy more at the end of the corrections anyway.
I think correction takes place when the devs believes that the price of a particular asset or so its being valued more than the rate its supposed to the valued. So I just think that the price of Bitcoin bubbled too much and got to a very high price more than what it’s meant to be and that’s why the devs has chosen to take action and put it to what it’s meant to be. But that doesn’t stop another price bubble from taking place.
I would not say the devs in particular, it could be the whales or whoever, but most of the time, the market is always driven to a state in which it gets off the hook and then you see it reaching some overbought stage and in cases like that, when the power tends to dropdown, correction is always imminent. Corrections are always temporary and not certainly supposed to be for long as long as the market eventually tends to find a bottom eventually.
