Over the past 30 days price has gone up 42%, what else do you expect?
Of course, you are right but I remember what happened in December 2017 just like yesterday.
The reason why I'm asking is that, most people cash out in December and that may cause a major market crash.
The market still going sideways as it gives the impression that bitcoin will go down and will go up, as the support and resistance levels are both resistants at the moment.
The bull run isn't over yet and your daughter's money will recover as long as you're willing to wait, set a goal to sell, and be prepared to cut loss if you can't wait for months.
However, bitcoin suppose to reach the ath in the next year, probably around $30k-$50 and some predict it may reach $100k.
