The expected halving will make people to want to buy bitcoin then in anticipation that the value will rise after the halving, so there is every possibility that FOMO be present there, making the value to shoot till it reaches another new peak, and by this time next year, I am so optimistic that the value of bitcoin would have entered $35000, but like we always say, it is all speculation and not that we have any tool to properly analyses this.
The price has recovered after falling low to $7500. Once the price began to fall from $8000 people started to speculate as a time for buying and the drop will continue for a long. To the expectation market behaved in the opposite direction with bitcoin reaching above $9000. I believe once the price will drop low before it gives a price pumping of the year.
The situations is somehow explainable to most people who bought btc during slight pumps, in which some traders surfed out then ride on to the wave of price bounce. Someone might expect another bulls tried to blast off the bearish period, but still it was frustrating to watch the trend tremendously goes down after $10K breakthrough was hit at few seconds then back at almost $9K and beyond. It's not a big deal if the price go dipper, as long as it strikes a good price after and bulls will now take its dominance someday.
