Much has been said about the correction of the current market. The reason for the fall was attributed directly or indirectly to many factors: the most prominent being, Elon Musk’s BTC ad and news about the ban on cryptocurrency mining in China.
Overall, two scenarios took place in the midst of this massive setback:
Short-term hodlers sold at a loss.
Miners and long-term hodlers accumulated coins. Therefore, buying in the fix.
The same can be seen in this analysis based on Glassnode:
With fear prevalent in the market, many long-term cryptocurrency proponents have expressed their confidence in crypto-markets.
If the market doesn’t shake out the weak hands, it won’t have the strong foundation to grow further. With weak hands in there, at some point, it must have a retrace. Not sure which one causes which. But after a shake out, the foundation is stronger. 💪 https://t.co/6inX2HJDV1

CZ had previously stated that corrections were essential to:
“1) build support levels; 2) allowing people to make a profit and 3) most importantly, shaking weak hands, which helps to build a solid foundation. “
Another trader and analyst stated:
It’s likely we’ll need some time to recover from this. If you’re in high quality altcoins for the long term, you have nothing to fear. High quality altcoins are on sale. Lower prices are just a better opportunity to make you richer in the long term.

“Welcome to the cryptocurrency. That’s how crypto works. It goes up and down a lot. You cannot make 900% gains without expecting any setbacks. “
