It's simply based on supply and demand that's what there are so many movements. $12000 is what we call a mental barrier right now, we have been attempting to break that barrier, but it looks like too much for investors.
So for now it will be critical, but the good thing is that we have been hovering and holding around $11,500-$11,900 for like a week now. Indicating that a break out is really imminent. So it could happen any time or at least before the end of the month.
20 days is more than enough for us to have some drastic movement in the price of bitcoin, I expect something to change for good also by the end of the month and not only the end of the month, but as we are gradually approaching the last quarter of the year, seems we are going to have a very full breed and blown bull run from late this year, I am seriously hoping and expecting bitcoin to break barrier of $15k.
Unfortunately, it looks like the market plummet in the last couple of days as the price goes on another downward spiral and approaching $10,000 again. Not a good indication if we wanted to get pass the mental barrier of $12,000 or $13,000.
If there is any bull that can push the price of bitcoin to $15k, I am so sure that it is that point that FOMO will pick up, because we cannot do without fomo, all the time we have had a very high bull run of bitcoin, it has almost been because of fomo, because there would be a lot of demand on bitcoin then because of the fear of missing out, leading to a powerful breakout.
Then we have to wait and see if bulls are going to defend the price for the next couple of weeks and see the price @15,000. Yes, we need FOMO, but we need some great or worthy news again to trigger the market and wait for people to get excited and re-invest again.
