NONE of the "investors" are waiting for anything in short term. "Investors" are investing for long term and being at the bottom and stable like this is like a dream for them while it is a nightmare for "day traders" which is what you are talking about.

as for "day traders" not "all" of them are waiting for the recovery. some are waiting, some are accumulating and some are currently in altcoin market pumping small altcoins to make 100% to 200% profit every couple of days.
