What is a correction in the cryptocurrency market and who does it? 🔥
A correction is 📉 a temporary decrease in cryptocurrency prices after a period of strong rise, and it is considered a normal and healthy part of the market cycle. Usually, the decrease ranges between 10% to 30% from the previous price.
🔹 Example:
If the price of Bitcoin rises from 50,000 to 70,000 dollars, then goes back to 60,000 — this is called a correction of 15%.
⚙️ Why does a correction happen?
A correction happens to rebalance the market after a sharp or unjustified rise, often due to:
1️⃣ Profit-taking by investors who bought at low prices.
2️⃣ Temporary fear or panic caused by negative news or rumors.
3️⃣ Excessive speculation (Leverage Trading) which causes significant selling pressure during liquidation.
4️⃣ A decrease in liquidity when buyers stop buying heavily.
