Not being a pessimist here but this year's been fooling us with false expectations so it won't hurt to keep neutral about it.
I don't think the market has fooled anyone. In fact, I'm sure that people fooled themselves with their unrealistic expectations from a market that's trying to bottom out after one of the wildest bull runs ever.
I cringed every time people back when the price was hovering between $6000-$7000 said that it was very low and we couldn't fall below it due to miners needing $6000 at the very minimum.
The only thing that surprised me is how fast it went down from $6000 to $3000 without any strong rebound attempt. Maybe people were so in panic, that they sold like there was no tomorrow. Brutal sell off it was.
