When we're to rejoice the entire market is not supporting us, because expected growth hasn't been achieved. With hope rejoice and the same will cause a growth to happen within the year end.
What kind of expected growth are you still expecting mate? Altcoins has flourish as well this month alone. A lot of coins have been pump specially the top 10 so for me it looks like the achieved unexpected growth. So we can also rejoice together with the Christmas season.
As for the market going red again, I'm sure that people are just cashing it out. Its holidays, and everybody needs some extra cash. And those who have cash earlier have been holding for the longest time. So I think we can't blame them for doing so. Anyways, expect 2018 to be another great year for the crypto industry.
