This is the true reality of bitcoin, in no time surprises strike the market. Users were speculating that the price could reach $7500 and so on, but it has been nearing $8500. Altcoins haven't grown as predicted, possibly it takes little time for a forward push. Small fluctuations were experienced on altcoins than big level of growth.
I hope that you are right and the big grow is on its way. At the moment everything is looking very promising and it is about time to see the whole market moving forward.
