I think there is a preparatory stage. After that there will be a pump.
Lol. What do you think about cryptocurrency market, a laboratory experiment that needs some preparatory before launching up a bull market? The market is being decided by the investors through its demand. The higher the demand from the cryptocurrency then higher market price for that crypto. Thus, it will happen when the minds of the investors synchronizes itself through time. As we all know that the year ending for 2018 is the peak season for everybody for having a long holidays for the those days.
I think what it really needs now is some big new investors that are willing to make huge investments, also the manipulations of whales to make the market pump again.
