I was trading in April 2017 just as I am in January 2018, and I find very few similarities between the outlook for bitcoin in these different time periods. The cryptocurrency space today is orders of magnitudes more mature than 2017. What is making me even more bullish is that mainstream speculators still seem to live under some kind of illusion that bitcoin is built on “stone-age technology that has failed to adapt” and avoid investing in bitcoin for this reason. I remain positive that the positive momentum building up around the Lightning Network can eventually serve to recapture some of that capital.

If Bitcoin wants to be taken seriously, it may not be easy or legal to manipulate the market. While decentralization should replace the rules, there is obviously a way to do it before it is taken seriously. "As a major investment in cryptocurrency assets and as countries take steps to legalize bitcoin as a payment system (as Japan did in April 2017), it is important to understand how fragile cryptocurrency markets can be manipulated.Let me know by the comment below!
