As euphoria is slowly fading away, multiple mainstream outlets start calling the ‘golden bull run’ into question.

The bulls remain optimistic

While it is tempting for the bears to assume that Bitcoin will rather tank to $3,000 than go above $10,000 again, the bulls remain cautiously optimistic. Commodity trading legend Peter Brandt recently claimed that 30-50 percent pullbacks are ok-ish for BTC even during the bull market.

At the time of writing this article, BTC is sitting at $9,878. An (imminent?) drop to would  $9,715 mark a 30 percent pullback.

Trading expert Josh Rager, for instance, sees the four-digit price tag as a major buying opportunity.
