Speculation is all n good but don't take any random forum users saying as a financial advice since there's no doubt nobody knows for sure. Sure it might jump tomorrow to 20k or drop down to 4k, it all depends on the news and what's going on behind closed doors where the big boys discuss. I do not know whether BTC will jump in december and don't really even care, what i do know that it'll happen eventually and currently it's just a race against the clock who can accumulate the most before that timer runs out.
yes you are right, the media is everything for bitcoin with good news certainly makes bitcoin more popular but because of the many bad news because of the failure to invest in the world of crypto makes someone criticize badly on this business. that's why the media is very influential on the existence of this business. I hope the media makes good news in December
