Somehow I known that every years first month bitcoin falling down, and then finished the January months bitcoin go with his own speed. So, first month (January) end, now 2nd month of the year 2018. Now can be rise as like 2017? or few months ago.
How says expert research!?
It's already risen from $6500 or so back up to $9000+. So this month is looking really good so far.
Plus the CNY celebrations that is going to come up soon, people may start buying bitcoin again. Still a lot of weak hands though that is ready to sell whenever bitcoin drops below $8000, which imo doesn't make any sense.
If everything goes well, we can go even to $11k or beyond just like last year's pump up to $10k+ within the month. It's not guaranteed though, so prepare to hold on for longer if that doesn't work out.
