Nothing odd, I wouldn't let go of the idea that it could still go down, investors may have just taken advantage of the dip to buy it cheap but that doesn't mean they can't short it. A recovery to $35k and maybe staying in that level for a week should be enough to show that we recovered from the possible worst-case scenario of dropping down to $20k. I still wouldn't hold it that we're out of the bearish season though, it may possibly last till the end of the year.
For us who have been here longer than the OP, yeah, there is nothing odd in the way the price is moving this year. There are so many factors, specially the war in Europe that really affects the price in a negative way, hence it has difficulty recovering to $35k and above. And you touch base an important topic, buy the dip because money are made in bear market. Meaning buy more in this cycle because they are at a discount and then simply HODL on them till the next bull run to make good gains.
