I believe a lot of crypto-currencies investors who are investing for the long term are also hoping that the current bear market will end soon, but it seems that the trading market outlook is not very positive at the moment as there is not enough positive news to attract new investors from the traditional investment to switch their investment into crypto-currencies.
Investors sure are hoping that the price would go up soon. Maybe before, they are happy that the price is down because they would be able to accumulate more but now, it seems that investors are already out of funds to buy more and hoping for an upside. If you want to take advantage of what is happening now then better learn trading and accumulate small profit.
I'm not sure there's going to be a mini-bull market in 2018, the market has been down for almost four months, and a rally should be possible.
Well, bitcoin always surprise us so maybe it would make a comeback and show every body that he is still the king of cryptocurrency. Although the cause of the plunge is because of the delay of ETF, still it is a delay and there is a chance that it would be approve in which case it would make the price go up then.
