Cryptocurrency investment firm Pomp Investments founder Anthony Pompliano recently described the Bitcoin (BTC) decline as a "healthy reset".

In an interview with CNBC on the 24th (local time), Pompliano emphasized that "Bitcoin has experienced 21 corrections of 30% or more over the past 10 years, and 7 of those saw declines exceeding 50%," stressing that this decline is not abnormal or an excessive correction.

He forecasted that "the 'extreme fear' phase of the Fear & Greed Index does not last long. Market leverage has been largely unwound, and Bitcoin will trade sideways for the next few weeks before showing a gradual recovery." He added, "Volatility is necessary for asset prices to continue rising."

Bitcoin recently fell below $100,000, leading the overall market decline, and analyses suggest that long-term holder selling, regulatory uncertainty, and leverage liquidations acted in combination.
