The only news we need now is the news of bitcoin adoption by the governments through a legal framework which will pave the way for merchants to accept it with ease. That's what we need now!
Bitcoin wouldn't thrive without granular level adoption. Whales are not so important for the survival of bitcoin. But we need granular level adoption and for that we need legal framework from various governments of the world. Such things might trigger the next bull run and make it even more popular!
Yes, this could be one,
[1] governments investing bitcoin as a reserve
[2] huge companies preferably in the top 1-20 will put bitcoin in their balance sheet
[3] online stores such as Amazon started to accept bitcoin
[4] governments making bitcoin as legal tender.
So far that's what on top of my head, you might agree or disagree though.
