I think this year's expected Bull will not come. Maybe 2019! This year continues to be a very bad year for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Maybe at the end of the year the market will rise slightly but the expected bull may not come.
This makes the most sense to me. It's great to be hopeful and wish that the bulls would come back but we have such a negative pressure on the market for people to sell as soon as they have the opportunity to get back the money they invested. It's kind of depressing, but a quote comes to mind:
The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.
