I'm not even sure whether this is a bad or a good thing right now but this is definitely unusual and I have never seen it before even though I have been in the crypto scene since 2014.
From what I can see the development (Lightning network etc.) is more active than it ever was, so shouldn't that give a little boost to the price at least?
Actually in year 2017, price of BTC made extra jump and thats why now people are so much exhusted about BTC price. If price would 10k$ in 2017, market would stable at present moment. Extra things are always very bad. I think BTC market is now in middle position and very soon it will come up and others will also.
