Those people came late to buy bitcoin and now they wish that this will crash to bottom something like $5000 and then they will buy to fill-in their bags. Then, second wish is to have the price recovers as more buyers will ride on the situation. This scenario is repeated as crash is always happen after a good rally.
I think if it was just a hope it would not have too much effect on the price. I'm sure many people right now hope that they want prices to rise quickly. but until now it does not happen? hope will not happen if there is no mass action. so do not be too negative-minded in the hope some people who want to see bitcoin prices weaken
