It's better to stay off predictions as all these past predictions have been defied and most never came through. What if the market cap suddenly just drop? this could signal a heavy correction to a market majorly driven by FA. On the other hand, should the cap suddenly increase and kept steady. we might just head for a boom. I any way, it's better one just do his normal daily routine and keep an eye on the market.
I agree with your opinion that many investors are fooled by the price chart from the previous year even though we all cannot know precisely the predictions going forward. The most important thing in this investment is our confidence and patience of the main capital in investing and in the conditions that are now good at taking advantage of opportunities. we will get it in investing with cryptocurrencies of course
predictions for the long term are rather difficult so don't immediately believe if people say that prices will rise at the end of the year. because whenever marketcap can go down. so you're right if you're a short term trader. keep on eye, look for good opportunities, understand market price movements and you can profit
