Bitcoin Forum

The cryptocurrency market looks all good today and i believe this news has brought good news to the entire crypto community but i just want to know is this the highly anticipated bull run of bitcoin that has been spreading all over this forum or this is just the tip of the iceberg.

all bitcoin users would expect it to be datrang day where bitcoin will show the highest level that is the price can penetrate the highest price of the year previous year,
the time is not knowing its coming, I personally believe in it,

While we expect a push upward, it will be too early to have a celebration that the bull run has begun. I think we should wait for the daily candle to close above the 25SMA the way it is right now for us to begin to draw any feeling of a bull run. Presently the bitcoin price is around $6,600+. Let's hope it remains this way till the end of today and that will be glad tidings for an upward reversal. Until then I would like to believe is a false move.

possibly YES but you can not be sure until we see this rise sustained. for now it is just a recovery not a bull run. it may remain as a recovery for awhile until it gains momentum slowly which can take time during which time we may see smaller falls too in order to set traps for the bears and kick some of them out of the game before the launch.

i would take a closer look on the charts for the coming 24-48 hours and try to pick up some bitcoins. even if this is a small recovery  there is still good profit in it.

I think the bull run period has not yet come and but the increase I think may be due to some other factors. If it is the period then I think BTC will be back soon.

If it sticks untill tomorrow then we can celebrate. It did go up from 5.9k to 6.2k and it fell down again to 5.9k last week so don't jump to any conclusions. Time will tell.

yes indeed it is like an iceberg but we must remain vigilant and careful that the iceberg will melt, we must remain afloat so as not to wrongly determine the attitude in the market to always awake.

Yes mate, its worth profitable if you have just bought lower amount of btc during the dip. With respect to bull run and the recovery of price right now, I guess its an opportunity for everybody to grab that rising price while its now yet expensive to buy. If we want to see bull run to begin in the following days to go, we must patiently hold the assets we had so we will be able to achieve higher demands that will make our value attain a good price. Bull run will take over when the markets shows fast increasing demands.

Please stop dreaming,not because theres a small growth that happens meaning we have a bullrun because this has been a trend for how many times and yet price drowned in the next morning thats why for me until i saw the pump thats the only way i would rejoice and will be thankful but as long as theres none so i will keep on silence

Yes, it seems so. Many people will be happy seeing this.

Most of people expecting bull run of bitcoin but still its really hard to predict. Me as a hodlers of bitcoin hoping that bitcoin will rise by end of july but of course that is only my own opinion if not happen maybe better luck next time.

Some of popular people expecting bitcoin will rise up to 50,000$ this year but still no enough proof that it will happen let's find out.

This is the second day going up so it may be the thing that we've been waiting for. Have a little faith man.

Yes. It started and let's all wait for the price increase soon!

Yeah is saw the market price for most of the crypto and it has a good sign that maybe this could be the start on good market price increase or this could also mean that there could be another major fall down since there are huge investors joining the cryptocurrency we could expect that if they will dump their crypto holdings then definitely market  price will fall down again.

Though their is price rise and several corners of the market started claiming to the start of bull run.  Like this one;
https://www.coindesk.com/7k-ahead-bitcoin-charts-appear-constructive-short-term/

But the time will tell the true and complete story whether this is the U-turn point of the market or temporary movement. 

I saw that the price has increased and this news made me really happy. I don't know whether this growth will be fast or slow but I am hopeful that from now on the price will keep on increasing gradually. I just want this increment to continue. I will be really upset if I find it falling again. Good days are coming hopefully.

my mind is telling me it's another bulltrap and my heart want it to be start of huge bull market

Yeah looks like the market is green again after a big fall...wish that the bull run is really began

Yes bitcoin bull market starts, very happy to see after a long time markets is in green. The price of bitcoin starts to increase hope it will continue in upcoming days. This growth would bring more investors to bitcoin. Many bitcoin holders are very happy to see this growth. Its not too late to buy,  if you dont invest in bitcoin just buy now and hold it for long term. The price will increase and the massive growth will occur by the end of this year.

Yep, only time can tell but if this movement continue to move up we can say that this is a new start of a bull run up to the level of $7k , bitcoin needs to break the resistance first and after that a strong signal going up will be made. Good choice for those who invest more during the red days.

We cannot conclude that bullrun is already beginning. Though it was really a good news that the market has become green. Everybody's hoping but let us all be ready and wise. Some believe that thhere will be another drop this July then the start of bull will occur. Still, prediction or speculations.

I think there is still some more downward movement to come. I'm holding off my purchases for a bit longer. It's obvious that the price is being manipulated, and this is probably due to government and banking interests wanting to discredit the current crypto coins. I believe that Bitcoin is a great store of wealth, and the gains will be massive if you are prepared to hold for five years or so.  Silver is another store of wealth that is being manipulated. The price is being pushed down below economic mining levels by the manipulation of the futures markets. At the same time, the bankers are buying up physical silver at ridiculously low prices.

We won't be able to take a view on Bitcoin until the new government 'crypto' currencies start to appear, and we can see if they are going to try to discredit Bitcoin by amplifying price movements. There will be some great trading opportunities over the next year or so, but never forget that any gain you make has to come from somebody else's loss.

The green market has become compared to yesterday's prices. But this does not mean that the price of bitcoin began to recover. Most recently, bitcoin cost $ 8000 and it was a low price. Now it's worth $ 6,600 and people are talking about a bull run. No, I don't see any positive dynamics.

It's still too early to make such conclusion.
The price has slightly gone up but still doesn't show any solid tendency. The growth might continue but also the price might fall back. I think that the back and forth "game" of the bitcoin price will continue for a while and I don't expect to see some biger price rise in the upcoming days.

Well, it would be for early to predict anything about the bull run but I am expecting that we will see positive graph in the second half of this year resulting in a fresh all-time high level in this year itself. I am also expecting involvement of big whales and institutional investors during this price level which might create short-term panic buying a wave in the market.

Yes, the green of the market now does not mean that the bull run is already happening. I think that the market will go down again. I believe that the bull run will start on the month of october. So before the bull run start, i think that we should buy more bitcoin, so that when it started, we can earn big profit when it reach the highest increase of price this year. We just need to be patient on waiting for its increase.

In my views, this situation is just a normal correction for the cryptocurrency market and it is too soon to speculate that it is already the bullish run that most people are waiting for. Let's wait and see in the coming weeks as this cryptocurency is now starting to progress. Just have to believe and do not panic your coins and have to wait for it to recover.

I think its too early to make any prediction about bull runs. I feel like most peoples predictions are swayed by their bias towards bitcoin being nearly $20k, and any slight inclination of a hike in price automatically pushes them towards the idea a run is happening.

Then again, it is just my opinion, and not of bull runs but of the perceptions towards them.

We have rarely we will see such a rocket rise in the value Bitcoin what we watched last year. The reason is, in my opinion, Bitcoin Futures, which caused price declines, and now the market returns to normal. Bull run has not yet occurred and it is a slow rise in bitcoin prices, the market is stabilized.

For now the bitcoin price starts to grow, but I don't think that it is the signed of bull run again of bitcoin price, but I'm hoping that it will continue to grow up to the higher level. So that all people who joins here are enjoy their efforts of time in working, and also the global economy would also grow.

Witnessing the current hypes in the market it can be said that bull run has began and momentum has boosted upwards but it might not the time we are looking for because the situation might get affected with any negative news.There are rise in btc and ETH or other alts by 2-3% and lines are green once again.But after some time we will see huge surge.So hodl and and wait.

The bull market is not yet happening and until now still theres no signs of recovering the cryptocurrency market from any possible fluctuation because at this moment crypto market is still very weak.

maybe, I hope the market will always grow in the next few months, but not too soon. because the effect will impact the correction again
but one that I am grateful for, because bitcoin can re-grow so that followed by many altcoin. and this is good

$6576 it is, as of now!!

And it is already known that the crypto space is full of uncertainties, so nothing can be said in advance. The market chart, though depict a positive picture, but still it is unknown that whether it is the beginning of the bull race or is it just another bull trap.

Seeing the market, I really do not feel like passing any judgement about the market, because I'm very bad at predicting this market. it is only the technical analysis that I go by and at times that also goes wrong.

I also really want to come green days, in which the prices of our coins grew. We've all been waiting for this for so long and so wanted.

This is very true, however, the crypto market behaves like it is now over the past few weeks. It rises and drops in a certain pattern. I believe the market is just exhibiting a camouflage characteristics. The bull run has not began yet but it will surely come. It is just a matter of time.

Coinmarketcap is full of beautiful green colors.  Hope this is a good sign of the upcoming uptrend season.  After the long days of gloominess of the market.

Yes, I think the market is going to bullist market, the market has been in a fairly long time to accumulate. And now, when the expectations of  investors expect too much the market will probably have to refresh.
In addition, with the impact of comercial war between the United States and China will make money flow into the Crytocurrency market with the expectation that this will be a new money holdings for the investors.
However, this is only the beginning of the bullist market, we need to manage the capital well and be responsible for our investments. Shouldn't use interest bearing to invest :)

Yes finally the dark clouds of fud are disappearing, facebook has revoked ads ban and suddenly the sentiments are hitting all time high. This was always going to happen sooner than later bitcoins has always rewarded people with amazing returns when held over a period of time. I'm very glad that it is rising again, the potential is huge for the growth.

This is truly great news for the crypto community. If the price of Bitcoin start to regain its value it could pave way for the Altcoins to regain their value as well.

The altcoins are what is most exciting. Great upside potential!

加密货币市场今天看起来都很好，我相信这个消息给整个加密社区带来了好消息，但我只是想知道这是备受期待的比特币牛市，它已遍布整个论坛或者这只是小费冰山一角 ??? ???

I don't think bull run will start before the ber month. Hopefully the market will recover before quarter four this year.

The market pumped 2 times this week so that is a good sign that the bull run of bitcoin has begun. The question is how long it can go for and when it will reach $20k again, could it be this year?

Its not yet.. Still the market is up and down.. But probably lets hope that in the next few weeks market will be in bullish run.. Bitcoin will go up to 10K$

Probably yes! Bitcoin movement now in the market showing a good sign of bitcoin bull run. Like an expectations of many people and their predictions before,that bitcoin will be started to recover at the middle of this year. I hope before the end of 2018,bitcoin will go to the moon again.

Really? I just now came to know about it. I hope the price will increase more and people will get to increase their money as well.

Others doesn't want to used the word "pump" in bitcoin market. They say that this market is not a pump-and-dump scheme. However, I really like what we are seeing in the last 3 days because bitcoin suddenly increase its price and it looks like its trading around the $6500-$6600. Maybe the bull run has started, or it maybe the case of a dead cat bounce. But, I'm bullish about it so let's hope that its going to be sustainable and at least hit $7K before the end of this month.


Where have you been living? under the rock this past couple of days? Or are you really busy with all your twitter bounties?

No, the bear market will come again very soon. This month can be the worst month for bitcoin. Bitcoin price ups and downs is very simple matter so by seeing this price , we ahouldn't hope for a bull run. Bull run can be happen in the last of this year.

This is  a good news to everybody here in cryptocurrency,hopefully it will continue the increase of price of the cryptocurrency so that everyone will recover from their loss.

Seems like that... It is also so pleasant to see this green color on my wallets :) Strange that most of the Alternative cryptocurrencies gone up along with Bitcoin recently! It is an evidence that they are depending on Bitcoin.

Looking at the price growth of these few days, I hope. This is a good sign for bitcoin and altcoin, after a long time of deterioration

Maybe that this month is the starting of the bull run of bitcoin and other cryptos, i already see it in my blockfolio that my holdings are increasing but not yet recover, i hope that this is the real start and it will really goes up.

Many predict the price of Bitcoin will return to $ 20,000, even by the end of the year is predicted to reach $ 50,000. I think the market is starting to improve and it's time to collect Bitcoin and I do not see Bull Run on Bitcoin hikes.

There is nothing new about the market, it just a little pump which has 80% possibility of falling back to it normal state.
Let just hope all goes well, and we don't fall back to where we were coming from

Only 5% rise of a dip can`t be considered as a beginning of a bull run, but I do believe this good indicators to make new investors willing to invest where we can see more money in the market and to indicate a real bull run.

I think that statement is very dangerous. The market is still very volatile.
We are still bearish from the chart picture. There comms one bad news in the mainstream news and the market value is heading south again.

I think a lot of people are wondering the same thing.
Fact is that nobady knows for sure.
Could be a short spike. could turn out to be a big bul trap. Could be the next bull run to the moon.

I would wait for a bit longer before making any assumptions and keep watching the volume.

I guess it hasn't started yet.Bitcoin price is still stays between $6K-7K margin.If it breaks the $7K mark,I would probably be the start of a bullish market.We will just hope that no more issues coming out in the coming days that may affect the movement of bitcoin price.

Investors are hopeful of the crypto currency market, they expect the market to rise. this will allow them to extract a profit. Although it is certain that the a=market will recover it is extremely unpredictable to say when. Therefore it is best to continue examine the market and have a prediction of which crypto currency will go through a boost in value.

No predictions can be made. First, they never come true and second, if the recovery of the bitcoin price will happen in a year, you will wait? It is not economically profitable. If you are trading on the exchange it is much smarter to trade at any price. You will not lose much now because the price is relatively stable. It is a good time to improve your professionalism.

It is too quick to say if the bull run has began or not. But we can say that this is in fact, the start of the bull of or the chain effect which will lead to the result of the bull run. The market will recover according to the analytics and this is the indication.

The market today is not bullish but i believe that there are a lot of whales who are waiting for the market price to drop harder before investing and that is the reason why bitcoins recover so fast from 5k drop just the other day.

I think that the wales already bought enough when it dropped to 6k and the next step is to pump it up again.

actually we are not sure on this situation if the bull started already or this is just a bull trap  'cause everyone says not yet because of some causes , and speaking the ATH also, well perhaps we still have no idea 'cause indeed that's the big question now on this small pump because most people now doing a hard technical analysis in the market to determine the right direction of the growth rate .

I agree, it is too early for the bull run but I think the bull is on its way to run.  ;D I am confident that it will bear what most investors and holders wants. Though it will certainly decrease at any moment it will eventually continously rise.

I guess it is just the beginning of the bull run. The much awaited bull trend has started after a very long bear market. Hope that is sustains for very long period.

Unfortunately we cannot say that in advance,  but probably bitcoin would be growing for some time from now hopefully we would recover the previous months price, anyway we will see that in the future

What are your reasons for this statement?
I think people WANT bull run to start ASAP and that is why 90% are saying it has already started.
Price is not growing even for a week and everyone are already saying this is a start of a bull run... with this logic bull run already started few times already in this year. http://prntscr.com/k2y33y
I advise people to forget about the price - if you really believe in bitcoin then buy few satoshis every week regardless the price. And start using it and thus really giving value to bitcoin. After all if people aren't using it but just speculating, it is worth exactly 0$.

I do not think that the bull market starts because the hype right now is starting and people are getting interested on cryptocurrency, so bitcoins will start to pump up again, other investors might have get interested as well which helps the price to stay on green.

Let's consider all the odds and the possibilities for this increase, most likely it will sustain to go up, struggle to the market activity thus it fluctuates or simply goes down again I hope the first one is the run these time, I'm sick of their manipulation, FUD's and negative news that greatly affects the market negatively, we should see some positive impacts among the days of it.

the market is on a good situation now and prices are bit high now but I don't think calling it a bull ride will be appropriate,the market is still recovering it's is possible that as per passes of time  this period will come very soon but this is not the time.

I wouldn't say that we are in a bull run right now, remember we have seen similar movements in the past couple of months. Same pattern that after a bottom bitcoin suddenly burst and everyone was jumping for joy thinking that a break out run is on the horizon, but it was just another bear trap. I would say its too early to call, because as far as I know there's no news that will really push the price at this level and I don't know what influence the investors to suddenly ignite the bitcoin market. If this is sustainable at least at the $7000 levels then it might be the case. But its really a good thing to see bitcoin on the green side for once. So stay relax, we all know that whales and day traders loves pushing the price to FOMO'ed, but suddenly short it, taking big profits.

Not in the start yet but it shows some movements that if will continue then we could say bear markets have end finally. Mostly altcoins are still in a huge decline and even Ethereum isn't in growing that's why we couldn't say it started already.

Yep, the market still in the recovery phase and its too early for a bull run, give more time and that will happen. The price just increase by little and if you look at the chart, soon we will come into a bull run trend. We are waiting for this moment, lets not be excited and wait for more days. :)

we should be able to take advantage of the current market price decline by adding the investment assets we have in bitcoin, because the possibility of bitcoin value will be very valuable in the future. Although there are no signs of an increase in bitcoin market prices in different exchange markets, of course everyone believes bitcoin will continue to increase its price after the market situation is still in this recovery phase.

Haven't seen the bull lately and this is quite early to say that the bull has come. Its recovery is quite slow and just like what's written on bitcoin history, it's moving just like those days.
Yeah and everyone's waiting for that day.

No the bull run of bitcoin not began, because the price of bitcoin starts to increase before two days. But again it would decrease, for bull run market it will some time. Slowly the market will recover, now we cannot predict when the dump and pump are occur. Just wait with patience and watch the market move. According to that we can plan. But sure the bull run will occur by end of this year.

Current situation of the market indicates so. But until this upward situation came to stable situation, it can not be stated that the bull run is already on its way. This time it can be mentioned as the positive response rather bull run. If this recovery can be sustained in future, profits from bitcoin market can be maximised.

If the price of BTC can form a good bottom zone at $6,000, the price of BTC may rise all the way from $6,000, provided it does not fall below $6,000 again.

in my opinion, Bitcoin Futures, which caused a decline in prices, and now the market is back to normal. Bull run has not happened yet and this is a slow bitcoin price increase, the market is stabilizing and we rarely see such rocket increases in the Bitcoin value we watched last year

It's good to see the price had gradually recover and hopefully this is a beginning to make a rally that will push the price climb higher. Although it's not a guarantee as we don't know what will happen for tomorrow but let's just be patient and optimistic to wait for the recovery.

I dont think that the market is bullish today, the market prices are fluctuating but its not bullish since there are more people who are still preferring to invest and market stays green.

We all know bitcoin is a great coin for invest. People invest on this market because they feel safe when they are connect with bitcoin. I think in near future price will more increase.

I think that the market is not getting stable and i am hopeful that very soon we will again see a very good bull run, i hope that this time the price is going to cross 30000$, because we were already expected that in very start of 2018, but some bad news restrict the price but now the price has started increasing its price.

It is really good news for us. Also the price of crypto will be increase many of them predict and its happening now based on this most probably yes the bull of btc began because we can see the effect of price also it is tough to tell but I think yes.

The rise of bitcoin to new heights was at the last few months of 2017. No one knows what the remaining half of 2018 has for bitcoin, cause the first half was altl through deeps and red. So, if bitcoin will get better heights than last year, that will be archived before the end of this year.

I'm not sure of things taking place in the network, but I believe it as the beginning of the bull market for the ongoing year. More or less in the past years similar growth can be seen while going through the chart. Comparing with that I believe the third quarter of the year has been supportive for the bull market.

We're seeing an adjustment in price right now which is pushing prices up from the current $6k floor, I know that.

However, this seems to me right now to not be established enough to say that it's going to be the start of a bull season, all of a sudden. Even if it does go up to test the $10k resistance again (which is very unlikely imo), we can't call that the start of a bull market.

People are saying that in the second half of the year, we'll see a bull run in the same magnitude as something like last year. To me, this is not going to happen. It's extremely probable that prices are going to continue to either dip, or move sideways for the year with basically no upward growth simply because we've got no bullish momentum right now. If you look at previous bitcoin price cycles, you'll see that bear markets will last around 1.5-2 years, and we're nowhere near that yet.

Don't get too optimistic and ahead of yourself. A full on bull market will come eventually as a natural part of the price cycle, but definitely not this soon.

I don't think you should hastily jump to the conclusion that the bull market has started. Maybe the increase is just temporary. Make sure it's sustainable rise before deciding to put money into it.

At this time, I just consider it a gradual recovery, not a bull run yet, 'cause I haven't found any reasons that ensure long term rise. Anyway, the reversal will reinforce the hope Bitcoin will be bounce up in the future.

It's stable at this moment but I surely hope so it turns into a bull run. It's about time.

I dont think so, but in this past few weeks the market price is playing around $6k dollars which is not really bullish so there will still be a chance for the price of bitcoins to grow like what happened last year.

nothing can be said as now it is moving in the range of $6k to $7k below just like it was trading before in 1k above range and then it got low to $6k and now it is moving back in this range so either it can break another $1k or above or it can go past $10k also this time.

I know after a long period of going down, seeing Bitcoin go up now definitely get you excited but keep vigilant and carefully analyse the situation. Haste decision will be regretted later. Slight recovery doesn't mean a bull run. I think some investors who have held Bitcoin for a long time and now want to cut loss to withdraw from the markets may sell their coins. And possiblly the price will dip again.

Last summer BTC went from 3k ATH to 1900 and this lasted for 1 month if I remember correctly. I hope that the same thing is happening this summer (people relax, doing vocation etc) and the price will recover soon!

I think the Bitcoin bull run hasn't started yet and it is still in the bear market. The current price of Bitcoin has trended down from last week and the price fluctuation is ranging less than $6.5k which is far from the shield to break for bull run. I think it will take another two complete months for Bitcoin to cross the shield and reach $10k and the current market situation looks in bad shape.

Very difficult to say bitcoin will have bull run, for today bitcoin up 1.38% base on coinmarketcap but we ca see tomorrow I guess bitcoin will fall again. This situation lasted in the last few weeks, only slightly up and down a lot. It takes several months to convince the bitcoin market will actually go up.

These days we couldn't predict such cases of price to bull run, because most of the scenario seen with the price of bitcoin really dumps its value. However the chances is always there but be careful when the price started to crash, after all sorts of rising. You maybe encountering short spikes of the price due to smaller increase of demand, which actually triggers a little demand of bitcoin purchases.

I agree with this, anytime people see a small recovery people begin to speculate that we are seeing another bull run, but things are not going to be so easy, the price is not going to recover in a fast way, in fact I think the price is only going to recover once a lot of people begin to lose that hope and stop wondering when the price is going to recover.

No bulls indications yet.The price will definitely recover very soon, it might not be today but time will come and it shall be prevail.
And to those who are giving up to bitcoin already will come back when they finally see the signs of the bull.

it will take some time until we can see a new bullrun, it will probably be on the next few months as soon as there are more good news on the market, but not now, it is unlikely going to happen now

The bull run for the year has begun, but it has been facing interruptions quite often. To this it is good to keep hold without getting panic on the price fluctuations taking place with time. Now the price has come low to the value around $6200. Possibly a recovery phase is supposed to get initiated shortly.

As if now we can't say mythos us the start of the bull run because you can see in crypto market that bearish is on. We beed to observe in more few weeks if the bull run will start.

I really hope that you're right although the price of BTC seems to have stabilizing around 6500$ at this moment. I guess it will skyrocket soon.

Not yet, i think that it is not going to start anytime soon, so better to keep buying as many bitcoin as you can while all those prices keep being cheap f or some time. This is the best thing that you can do at the moment, trust me.

While I am commenting, I have seen that the market is gradually improving and I believe that this is a good sign. Rising up slowly may assure the stability of the market in future.      

There are still too many weeks left until the bullrun finally starts, so i would be a little bit more patient regarding this stuff, because it is not going to come in here in less than a few days. better to be waiting in here for more time

This is only the beginning man, wait will we see the new all time highs.

I see bulls but no running, a gentle amble is more like they are acting :D    The main deal is the negative trend has not confirmed itself, this is leading to shorts but also just negative sellers to be forestalled.   
This in turn helps create a more positive atmosphere for buying to return in speculation.     There is also the fundamental view to consider with the population of bitcoin rising or not and general usage.    There is no real need to be negative so long as utility in Bitcoin is improving imho

The growth of bitcoin prices has occurred over the past 72 hours, if this increase can last up to the next 72 hours, then this is a good sign, then there will be further increases in the following weeks/months. I hope, hopefully the growth is capable last until the end of 2018.

In my own opinion, the market today is not bullish because the price of cryptocurrency is just slowly but consistently growing so we can hope for higher prices in the future.

It is difficult to know, the price is doing well and even if it is not growing right now it is still holding the gains we got a few days ago, the only thing we can do is to wait but if I am being honest I think this is not the bull run we are looking for, so before you invest take your time so the trend becomes clearer because it is entirely possible the price could go back to where it was in a few weeks.

We have seen a bullish run in last few days, and I think that it is just the beginning, it will in fact give confident to people and they will surely start investment in bitcoin. I think that the bullish run will continue for a long time and hopefully bitcoin price will again reach to 20000$.

Sometimes, I always wonder if people actually understand what bull run means. Bull run is more like what we had in the late part of last year and considering the market is overall bearish and some little bit of upward corrections, there is nothing like bull run yet. For now, we have some huge and major resistances ahead of us and hitting past them to even get to as much as $15k by the end of the year would mean the bulls actually gave it all their best.

Lol. It recovered quite well but as others would tell you, it's not at all a bullish movement. People have been quick to mistake that as the return of the bulls and then got their hopes crushed when the correction hit. There will be other recoveries and corrections like this before the real bull market comes.
