Joey Krug, the Co-Chief Investment Officer at Pantera Capital; a major firm in the crypto investment industry, has said the recent corrections being witnessed in the Bitcoin (BTC) markets is still very healthy. According to the executive, sell offs are very normal during Bull Runs for corrections to happen in the market.
As reported, in a discussion at the Crypto Summit held by Bloomberg yesterday, 26th February, 2021, the executive stated that the Bitcoin markets should bounce back to normal by latest April if not before then. He also underscored the need for corrections in the market as an upward rally can’t just continue like that;
“I think, in terms of price action, things will be back to normal by April, if not sooner. I think the market does sometimes take a little bit of time to let off steam. It’s not going to go up in a straight line.”
He also added that a 30-40% further drop would be a bear market according to traditional finance; “You know, in traditional finance a 30% to 40% pullback would be a massive bear market”
