New ATH in 2022 might not be possible.
IMO, the market needs to have a correction or a time for consolidation.
We don't necessarily need to see the market to always rise. Corrections and bear market is a vital part of a healthy market.
Investors needs to have a good accumulation period and selling period.
With what's happening with crypto market today is just perfectly normal for wise investors.
That is what people are missing most of the time. Of course, the drop will happen and it is a natural part of the market like you said. However, there are so many people who react like this drop has been the worst possible thing ever, and that is not really an ideal situation.
I have to say the best thing that could happen would be people realizing the drop is something we can recover and not a big deal, that "not a big deal" is very important, if they do not realize that then they are screwed, or at least not going to profit. It's clear to me that we need to go back to a world where things are easier, and just ignore all these drops.
