No capitulation is a bad thing if we want the price to go a lot higher. Everyone who knows about coins already has coins. How will the price go any higher? Where are the bears? Everyone takes it for granted that the price will go up.
The highlighted sentence is where your assumption is wrong. Bitcoin is going up because there are new people entering the market. When bitcoin goes up there is more in the news about bitcoin causes more people to learn about it and start buying causing it to go up even more.
There are still bears. They just aren't very vocal when the price is rising.
