Bear market period has ended. Now it's start the bull market. But the price are not going down or rise. Just stable in $9k. I think we just need more time for BTC to rise again.
The price is actually stable because there isn't any high trafic of coins , that's what make the price fluctuations and whenever demand is back for bitcoin again (which usually happens starting from the 3rd trimester of every year ) , we'll start to see the bull run and the price will be breaking new all time highs ( i hope at least ) ..
But nevertheless , the bear market can come back at any moment and the market can crash even in the middle of the bull run because of some stupid decision in Asia like what happened in China last summer when they banned ICOs and the market crashed by 30% in 48h..
Whoever was smart enough to invest when the price was low is already collecting profits and you can even re invest at this price because i'm sure it'll rise even more in the near future .
