lower peak doesnt mean the market getting worst. in fact the valley getting shallower. comparing oct 2018 and oct 2017 , bitcoin price is maintaining. which is a good thing, for now. it might be repeating last year pattern.
Yes, peeks and dips are a normal part of BTC. Anyone who has been with bitcoin for a while knows that non stop dips do not necessarily mean the situation is getting worse, it all depends on the market. Others could get scared off seeing topics like this one - don't spread misinformation !
