Simply because the WHALES take the profits whenever there's a 5 to 10 percent growth. The bottom line is Swing trading and Day trading is real and the HODL method is just what it is...
You are wrong , it will reach 20k again and even more . When all the big players will come in then its gonna reach alot more . My prediction is that we will see 40k till next february , then some correction to 15-20k range . Today i see that more and more stock traders join crypto , because you can earn alot more then in oldschool markets

Crypto thing gonna leave stock markets behind in few years or even faster in my opinion . Why do you think Goldman Sach bought poloniex?!?
