Even if bitcoin's market price is below 8,000$ for a couple of months now, at least, it stayed in the 6,000$ mark. But once it will break the 7,000$ mark anytime soon, then it is also possible that it will continue to rise and break some high price marks. I was even surprised today that bitcoin almost hits 7,000$ in just several hours.
Price depends upon demand and investment capital. If more and more people invest their money in bitcoin the price will go up otherwise it will definitely fall. In these days the market is red because of no demand for bitcoin or very demand. It is not enough for growth in the price. But I am sure gradually people will be back to bitcoin and the price will rise again.
And there are several reasons for this, the demand is very low mostly because of the recent crash in the price of bitcoin, people have a tendency to remember what happened in the recent months and the crash made a lasting impression in many investors and as such they are afraid to invest in the market, something that in my opinion is understandable, that is why I think we are going to need years for the market to recover so people forget about the crash.
Also we need people to forget somewhat about the recent all time high, everyone is holding their coins because they are expecting the all time high to present itself again or to be surpassed and this is decreasing the circulation of bitcoin which is not something good for a currency.
