Bitcoin is still in the bearish market and that's what i believe because bitcoin hasn't reach even half of its all time high last year. That means bitcoin has to reach the 10,000$ mark yet before i consider it that bitcoin is coming back, in my opinion.
I agree, I think we have to wait a bit longer before a new bull market. The previous bear market lasted a couple of years, it is possible that that will happen again. Good time to accumulate?
Last time it took couple of years because it was not that famous but now it got more then 10 times of awareness then that time, but still i think this year we wont see any improvement but 2019 will surely be a good year for all cryptocurrency.
