This recent drop was very disappointing and discouraging, because I and many other forum members really believed this time everything was different and that bitcoin was gradually moving to surpassing the $10k barrier. And then we see it below $9k again, as if no positive signs were around. A lot of people are writing about Consensus 2018. The news in Russian are saying it indeed has positive impact on btc, pushing it forward. But I bet such things can't be game-changing anyway.
Not yet the conference consensus has been over bro. There are people invested on the bitcoin and ethereum increased last few days after Korean exchange's regulation on various cryptocurrencies.
Lets all wait for some days and see whether it goes to big or be stable in this level itself for some days and then it is going forward. However end of the year you will get the reward to you wallet mate. I expect to see the 12k USD when this month closing time.
