I don't think Bitcoin will ever hit 10k. But currently, Bitcoin is between $22,000 and $23,000.In the meantime came up to 17 thousand dollars. But it did not wait there for a long time and the market went up very quickly.If you want to invest, you must invest with your head and analysis and see a good time, don't rely on your hands all the time.You can never invest on your own hands.
Having our own analysis can help us decide on when is the right timing for us to buy. If you're going to hold for long period, a price decrease even a bit will do since its not for short term investment. The problem for some investors are they're waiting for the real bottom not knowing they already missed the opportunity to buy. On the other side, DCAing is a good strategy so we dont need to concern ourselves for the current price.
That’s the benefit of being a long term investor. If you are doing something that is beneficial for you like long term investment, then all those things that "should" hurt you like a short term drop would not matter to you. Like I have been holding for a few years now, saw it go up a lot, saw it go down a lot and none of that mattered to me, I was of course happy when it went up but didn't sell much.
So, people who are long term will not be caring for the drops there are in the price of bitcoin or anything else. This is the approach you could have during bear markets like now, you could buy as much as you can and wait for the long term profits.
