It isn't contradicting at all. It's a bad time because it is hyper volatile, and there is a lot more room for it to drop than to gain.

That doesn't mean it will drop. It means that saying "it's a good time to buy everything is on sale!" is absurd but common (and people have been saying it since the first drop on February 24th, and will never learn from their wrong advice). There are few scenarios where there is going to be a rapid rise in the market in the near future.
