The price definitely does not have any momentum and the optimism surrounding cryptocurrencies has waned. There are a lot of people who have invested during the bull run, who are sitting on losses. In a few months, they will lose patience and sell as well.
Very well said. The main thing is the lack of momentum. Right now I think the price is just oscillating, even though at $7200 it's not doing too badly. It's just that there's no direction or oomph to it at the moment.
As far as the optimism part, I'm not so sure about that but only because I haven't read much in the way of real sentiment lately, and I don't follow crypto news so much--pretty much only what I read on bitcointalk.
The people sitting on losses because of buying in the range of $8k-20k probably will sell if the price doesn't snap back soon, but I'm thinking a lot of those folks have already sold. Who knows, though. There's no way to know that.
