If you notice, we are having slight sustained upward trend, which seem to indicate that barring catastrophic news, such as another FTX, that we can get back to $20k and beyond.
It's like a week since you have posted this and yeah, the upward trend still continues up to this point, $21,000 and counting. There's no news yet like the FTX and hopefully there's none in this year.
For anyone who is in on this, we know that sub $20k prices are extremely cheap, the thing is that there have been extreme downturns because of the leverage explosion but at the minimum that things return to normal the normal is a 2023 with upside.
For sure there are speculators, whether short or long term, who filled their bags last year because the price is cheap. But still though, at the current price movement, we can still consider this it as a discount because we are still in the $21,000. And maybe at the end of the year, this could double as I can see $40,000 or higher this year.
