During this calm moment in the market of crypto, there could be institutional buyers and whales hiding in plain sight buying discreetly to unload something that will make the move of the year. We should not expect too much though for us not to be disappointed whatever the result may be.
Ups and downs I think are natural. It is a currency and every currency in the world is not stable. Volatility is builten with currency. Crypto is new digital currency and most of the people still do not believe in it. Thats why the price is down. But when people realize the importance of bitcoin they will come towards bitcoin and the market cap will increase rapidly.
You are right that we should not expect our desires from crypto market and should remain cool and calm about the future of bitcoin price. But one thing is very necessary and that is we must be positive about the future of bitcoin and try our best to convey knowledge about cryptocurrency in our locality. When investors in number increase, the price will also go up.
