I think that the lack of news is not the reason that the market is in relative calm. It seems to me that the reason is that the price of bitcoin has reached its minimum. Further attempts of whales to reduce prices end with the decline in trading volumes. Whales will buy coins at these prices. This level will rise.
I do agree with that. People have been speculating about $3000-$4000 levels, but the market found a steady spot above the $6000 level. If we also take into consideration the manipulation going on, which is that semi large dumps take the price back to sub $7000 levels, and let it stay there without dumping further, it clearly shows large scale accumulation, the patterns are clear.
Without these semi large dumps, the market isn't going down out of its own, which is a great sign. Global whale manipulation keeping the price down will end once they think they stocked up enough coins, and we might not be all that far away from that point. Whales know like no one how important it is to maintain the $6000 bottom, and thus keep the long term growing bottom cycle intact.
If people aren't accumulating themselves yet, then definitely do so. Everyone not having bought will 100% regret it later on. I don't see a massive breakout, but a steady increase will do.
