If we are talking about big one bull run in this year, I think it's almost safe to say that it is won't happen, because time is decreasing and where is not any bright signs that something will change, However, I fully believe that a slight rise in prices may still happen in this year.
It is not even something anyone can even be concluding at this stage in time looking at how things have been lately and knowing that even though the signs show that we are in an ascending triangle that looks like there could be a possibility for a break out upward and start a new trend, it is still something we will have to wait for time to actually get to decide as far as I am concerned. There is actually no point thinking things now and making unnecessary assumptions as what will be would be and there is nothing we can do about it than to just be patient and see the side the market turns to before the end of the year.
Market with pure hype will be just nothing as there's no strong base for it. This market is taking us in slow yet surely phase and this will be good even in long term since we won't bother a huge dump.
They will always be volatile and hard to predict and there is no doubt about that, but the thing here is that as far as a market is concerned and it is moving sideways, nothing can be said until there is a clear signal. I would not actually expect any serious bull run like some people are trying to imagine, but I would rather prefer to stick with the idea of just sticking with the trends, and seeing if there could be a possibility of seeing us go back to test the previous ATH or not. Time is the only thing we have to tell us what things would be like as well as patience.
