Maybe it is, maybe is is not. Nobody knows. We as retail investors are at the mercy of big money. The market will go the same way that has more money. The recent Bitcoin pump was due to $1.2 billion new money flow in. That amount of money raised $1,000 in Bitcoin's price in less than an hour. We need a lot more money to pump Bitcoin up to $15,000 or more. To make this happen we need more investors participate. I do not think it is possible at this time considering how most people feel toward Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. The trends are still continue dropping. If trends can correctly reflect to prices, Bitcoin would be less than $6k right now. The reason that it can maintain current prices is probably because most holders still has positive view and not sell their coins.
I think that the small investors are still doubtful about investing more money in bitcoins. Big whales existed when the prices were peaking at $20000 and those bitcoins went to new investors who came after seeing the rising prices. They must be in loss now and they will not invest more before they make profit on earlier investment.
