Analysts say Bitcoin price drop to $ 30K was ‘healthy and necessary’

Perhaps what it meant that this is healthy correction is that the market is obviously not going to rise parabolic. And while this is for most of us doesn't look good because our portfolio is going to decline, but the to an extend it will give investors a good buying opportunity. We can buy bitcoin at a discount and once this correction is done, it can possible to go upward to $50k. So we will have to wait and see what happens next.

As we know that bitcoin investment is a high-risk investment, we should know that bitcoin price can jump to a higher price or lower price anytime.
If the price can jump to $40k in just a few days and back to $30k-$35k, and then jump again to $37,500-$39,000 because I think the price is making a curve in any movements.
But maybe I am wrong about the curve. In the short term, the bitcoin price will always up and down, but the price will be going to a high price in the long term.
So you do not need to worry if the price is down or up.

We will know it's a correction if it rises above its current prices. Since nobody can predict when the bears are going to take over, it's definitely safe to have good risk management (if you are trading) and accumulates more (if you're a HODLer). Remember that there's always going to a stop to a trend; whether this bull trend will end or not, it's not going to be forever for sure. It's better to focus on the bigger picture or the long-term part, as they say, with every investment. Just be patient and plan.

It is healthy for speculators if the price recovers back to $40 000+ ....because speculators love making profits and if it goes down hard like that, more speculators will see that there are profits to be made and they will also start buying bitcoins.

Are these speculators good for Bitcoin as a currency.....NO!  They just cause more volatility and people using it as a currency will suffer as a result of that. (losing buying power that quickly.... will push people to stop using it as a currency) 

I think only a fool will expect the price to continue to go up forever, this correction is healthy for the market. Though chain analysis show that it is not whales dumping their BTC but miners. Miners need money for their daily operation and taking some money to keep in their reserves is good for business.

Obviously. I expected this to happen and I am happy it did because this proves that BTC won't fall below five figures like in 2018 anytime soon. This is a healthy correction.

The price is currently back above $35K already and it will probably keep fluctuating between $30K - $40K for sometime based on my research. Whatever the case, the big point here is that BTC doubled its value recently and that is all that matters.

It's healthy surely. Psychologically, if the price of anything increases heavily, although it might attract many investors to invest and have FOMO, but, in the long run, it will create fear among them as well and make them think if the price of the coin is increasing because of manipulation or something. Corrections, and sometimes halt or decline in price is needed to maintain the trust of users that they aren't part of something that's being manipulated and not a real thing.

First of all I think it never really reached 30k as a whole, it tested below 32k but bounced back and that was understandable. However people are forgetting that 20% fall is something we have all the time. Look at the price right now, itis over 35k all over again, when this all started it was around 37-38 and not 40, sure it went to 40k but it went down a bit to 38k levels, and I have seen 36k as recover, so that is literally less than 10% fall right now, we are talking about more like 3-4% in the last 48 hours and that's it.

People are overreacting to movements, as long as we are around here, some falls will happen but correction needs to happen in between. If you want to see bitcoin increase in price a lot, you have to also accept the fact that we will see some corrections in between, and as much as %20 is definitely possible and understandable, that is still a correction and not a crash.

I read something like this on the cointelegraph website “This decline is healthy and necessary” and some experts believe that this correction is necessary and it is possible that Bitcoin will drop to  16,000$ before continuing its upward journey !!!
Frankly, I was not convinced of such talk, and I do not think that Bitcoin can drop to these levels at the present time and I think that what happened was mostly due to profit taking in the short term by some institutional investors, according to some experts.
It appears that institutional investors liked to make their profits early, so they sold large quantities of Bitcoin, which drove the price down.
