Or do you guys think it will rise earlier or later.
Bitcoin's price probably won't have a big correlation with the occurrence of Chinese new year. In fact if anything, bitcoin traders will sell bitcoin to get cash just before the Lunar new year so that they can buy gifts for their family and give out red packets. But the amounts involved are going to be completely irrelevant when compared to the size of the Chinese whales' portfolios.
My guess would be that the price will break out in the first or second week of February, if not in the next few days. But then, it could be much later. Bitcoin is very unpredictable.
We're already at $12k right now, and if we can hold price up above $12k for a while, then it wouldn't be a surprise to see bitcoin at $15k very soon.
