Whatever the reason was, our belief should never fade. Just HOLD and BUY MORE! Bitcoin and all other legit altcoins are here to stay. Believe that! 
Current manipulation of the market that is being put into the motion is for sure shaking the market down. Patience is the key! HODLING is the key!. The real problem is that not all of the coins will rise again because some significant changes are being made. Most reputable coins will grow even higher after this big correction phase and the traders that are HODLING will be satisfied. We all have our reasonable doubt for the advancement of the market afterward but I'm sure that the things will set back into the proper place.
Yep, you are truly correct about that. Any market or industry has its down times, Bitcoin might be on the edge for now but this has happened before and will steady get back up again. One might feel hesitant investing in Cryptos for now but really patience and proper strategy is the key here.
