That is somewhat hopeful and I guess we can always think of that since we are all here in the forum to earn Cryptocurrencies. Its always fun to see new features that are created and we might just get to see Bitcoin gets another pump. Although we need to be mindful since its not always up for Bitcoin and we just need to take these opportunities to be profitable.
Bullrun will come at any moment, yet it remains unexpected. From a long hold at $9k-$10k then move forward to $11k, it something signifies than the moon will come sooner. But I couldn't have to think that it will arrive this year, probably not this time as we are still facing the economic crisis. Though we saw some pumps despite the pandemic but still it is not enough we can easily take a walk over it.
This is year is more exciting compare to past years of bitcoin's existence, you know the environment now is different, we are in times where prediction level is harder due to diverse mass speculation and I think this is why we are seeing a stagnant price of bitcoin in certain period of time like what you mentioned $9k to $10k and now it is at $11.5k-ish. I guess we should make a new terminology about a slow rising, bullrun isn't that good any more to describe the market for bitcoin. As for the others, the change in price of bitcoin this year will be dramatically different, who knows
The inclining sentiment now is the result of huge crypto adoption and Defi system, Bitcoin did the rally and as well as some altcoins. If the momentum will break, dumps have to expect next. What we are asking for is that people would rather have to hold for a little while and don't make FOMO, then we can expect the market to turn into bearish.
Just for my opinion, bitcoin is having a hard time to fly coz of DeFi hype theses days, as investors are more in altcoins ( I assume ) bitcoin will just keep its slow pace. Anyways it will just keep moving up, so I don't think we should really worry about bitcoin.
