and it seems it might still take a while longer before we will.
Aaand we are on 4 digits again.. It starts to be quite exhausting to say good bye and hello to the triple digits all the time again and again.
But seriously, there will still be probably some kind of oscillation around 1k btc before the new bottom will move above that level. Good thing is that we could see, that even when there was a thread of hard fork or ETF approval, we didn't get very deep and we can say that $900 is a reall bottom right now. If you compare it with 2014, bitcoin is much more stable than it used to be back in the times.
Some price fluctuation is good for traders. I don't mind it as long as we trend upward. In fact, a slow rise with fluctuation is probably the best scenario.
The recent pumps and dumps of bitcoin it's heaven for experienced traders, because (without no offence to anyone) current market is full of noobs driven by emotions which panic sell with every little price change. And those pro traders, who then buy low are laughing hard.
My advice is, don't sell, buy more.
But I understand your frustration, these situations will definitely slow down bitcoin price growth.
