For the price go down again to 400 some serious things need to be happening. I don't see this coming, since we got a positive market.
Perhaps after the halving?

The big whales can push down the price briefly down to $400. But it will not last long, the value is there.

Big whales can do anything they want with the price. But they want to profit from it, so why dump a lot of coins to lower the price if they can sell them slower and profit more?

If the whale open a short position and sell the bitcoin price to lower level, they can make profit from the short position.

Not only whales, but even smaller traders can make profits no matter in what direction the price is moving. It requires a good understanding of markets and enough experience.

For small investors, they can buy and sell coins easily because they have smaller positions, not like big investors.

That is true. But the big investors control the market, they can manipulate the price of bitcoin easily.

So we need more people to be aware of the bitcoin and buy the bitcoin. Bitcoin will be owned by more people.

The more people own the bitcoin, the higher the price the bitcoin will be. That is the case for the past 7 years.

if you're talking about when the wealth (bitcoins in this case) is spreaded between a lot people instead of having a few persons controlling insanely high amounts of coins, that the price will be higher... i don't think it will be that different. whale traders owning such a large amount where they can manipulate and even control the market are very welcome for traders. these whales can move markets up and down which allows us traders to benefit from it. beside that, we will never reach a point in life where everything is spreaded fair. it's wishful thinking.

it's not about fair distribution, it's about simple mathematics.

More people means more money.

More people, more money. That is right. That is the network effect. The value of Facebook increases with its users.
