Bitcoin is range trading on very thin volume. There is no big news to force it back into a bull phase. Perhaps a bloodbath in the stock market later this year when interest rates rise might do it - but for the moment, we appear to be stuck.
Stuck is the proper word. We ain't seeing any improvement or the movement in the market and Bitcoin seems to be circulating through the same values for the last 2 months. I am certain that it will get higher when the market enters red phase.
Like you said, we will have to wait for that moment and hold onto our Bitcoins because they will prove to be very valuable in some time.
We must be patient and trade with another portfolio.
Bitcoin hodlings must be left alone in the wallet. It will rise again to the 20000 if not this year as the start of the next for sure.
