Bitcoin is not a pump and dump cryptocurrency, and it is biggest difference of Bitcoin compares to altcoins.

Bitcoin can surge or plumment but it's not a pump and dump coin, especially in 2024 and 2025 market cycle when its market cap becomes bigger a lot, trading volume becomes higher a lot.

In short term, such rises are from hype, news effects, but in long term, Bitcoin has made many new all time highs, and made many price bands as Never Look Back ones.

Events, policies, adoption things will help Bitcoin value and price growing sustainably with time, and it's what it is.

The price was actually below 100k a few weeks ago, or was it days back, before climbing back to the $100k level, which we are currently at now? If you missed buying it that time, what makes you think you can also take the opportunity of buying if the price drops down again this time? A price dump is considered an opportunity to buy cheap, but how many people take good advantage of such an opportunity? You might still be waiting for it to go down more while it takes an unexpected turn.

Well, is it? Bitcoin had been quite stable since the previous May up until President Trump was elected, which sparked a major spike in Bitcoin's price. Don't get me wrong; I don't disagree with you, but I'm just pointing out that from how I've observed Bitcoin, the past year hasn't had much of a rollercoaster ride; even known analysts and traders were claiming that its volatility has stabilized quite a lot. I don't recall having major volatility nor severe ups and downs that weren't resolved within the next few days.

Nowadays, seeing Bitcoin range from $103,000 to $108,000 isn't a major volatility to me; even if it drops as much as $95,000 or even lower, I wouldn't find it as big of a deal, because just like I mentioned earlier, such drops usually resolve within the upcoming day or two at most.

Well, it happened as it plunged down from around $105,000 to as low as $98,000. Not as low as $95,000 but huge drop is enough to liquidate almost $250 Billion worth of longs. I hope that most of the traders will realize the importance of stop-losses.

What's good though is that after a few hours, it went back up to $101,000 and currently is sitting at that price. Like you, I wouldn't mind dropping to even as low as $90,000 because we are in a bull run, and in a few days, it will just go back up just like what we saw currently.

Did you buy some Bitcoin when the price went down below $100,000? You might not have a lot of money, but that's an opportunity, and you can still make a few bucks if you bought below it, choose to hold it and sell it today or in the following days.

If you want for Bitcoin to dump even more, wait for the bear market to happen. When? Possible next year. We can wish anything just like others here, but can you wait? If yes, then wait for months before it dumps to $50,000 just like you wish.

I doubt bitcoin will go back to $30k to be honest. Yes, its price will go down in the next few years and it will not set any new ATHs but I do not think we can expect bitcoin to go down that low.

For every new ATH, we can expect bitcoin's lowest price to go higher and higher.
