I do not intend to create a FUD, nor I want to speculate. This is my logical analysis and you are welcome to question it.
The last surge in December 2017 was when mainstream media started covering Bitcoin and a "lot" of new investors/traders/oppertunist started talking about and started looking into it
October 2018 ICOs have failed, most of the ALTs are below their ICO price. That means, Now there are less Fool and people have started understanding the concept. no more Sheeps to slaughter ... Much harder to manipulate price (or atleast people are aware of it.
So, Where will the bull run come from?
As an example, Think like --- Lots of people were hodling when Bitcoin touched 20K.... But now repent doing so... 100% if Bitcoin price surges to even 9000$, they will dump knowing there will be again a correction.
This is what I analysed logically. I may be wrong. I hope I am wrong.
You are perfectly right and what you’ve said is truthful fact
Those who had invested in same time last year,are now in doubt because of the continuing market denials,so what would we expect on this?
What i believe is bear will remain longer here,and wont even get atleast half of what we have last 2017 so for the expectations stop looking for bigger return now.maybe next year or the next
