The best buying price starts at 7. And we might be back on that price level anytime from now. We are at a very uncertain point right now. We might have left the $7,000-$7,999 range already but still Bitcoin is not bullish to leave $8,000 far behind. It is basically not leaving the side of $7,000. Anyone can buy at the current price but that would mean HODLing for a much longer period if the price is falling down once more.
We can say that bitcoin has started moving sideways starting at 8,000$. Naturally, Just like you said, I don't believe that BTC would leave the 8,000ish price range soon and go past 9,000. On the other hand, I doubt it would go back to the 7,000 range or at the very least, stay in it. It may dip down a bit to 7,900$ but it shouldn't stay at that range for long. After a few weeks, I suppose BTC can now stabilize at 8,000$ and above, albeit for a short time only. As for a bullish push towards 9,000 or higher, That would still need to wait for a few more weeks imo or at the very least, I need to observe the possible events that may occur in the next few weeks.
