People are quite optimistic about the year end. I think that investment from other assets will start flowing in cryptos near last quarter of the year. I expect a bullish season to start from October this year with peak in December. But try to take the maximum advantage of bear market by playing in future market or doing short term trades.
Moreover, If we analyze past charts of Bitcoin as it is the oldest currency, there have been pumps in the last quarter of the year.
No need to compare last year's results with what we expect until the end of 2018. Situations are completely different and the cryptocurrency market has started to behave inadequately since the beginning of the year.
