Btc Now around 6400-6500$,
its hard to say when it goes up or goes down.
i think will raise in 2019 wwith other trends
Of course Bitcoin is still below the $10,000 in the todays market. In addition, it is not possible to predict the value it will gain within a certain period of time and that is the reason one should only take the market factors into account while doing any kind of investment or trading decisions.
Speculations do make a difference as well. However I do not believe that it will surge again as high as it did last year in this December. It might still take time and will recover slowly.
Just newbies and delusional people think that price will surge this year like it did last December. It might take a lot more time than many people think it will, I expect next year to be similar to this one, with smaller ups and downs, but nothing big and nothing too serious. I think that price can drop a bit more in next year, but that will be just panic among newbies who will try to cut their loses, which is terrible thing to do with bitcoins. Invest when market is down, not when market is on top, people should learn that and than their investments will start to bring more profit.
