I don't know, I know price is influenced by many things but in the end does it look like 2017 to you? Does it look like there is any chance left that we can once again see a huge bull run? I doubt it can happen any time soon.
As long as these short futures and bitmex leverage trading stands, people will keep profiting from bitcoin price going down. I know bitcoin has gone up a lot before way more than 6 to 25 levels however this time people can actually profit from going down and it wasn't like that before.
I think bitcoin WILL hit 25k but I am not too sure if it will be by the end of the year.
