Iam completely sure that prices at the end of year will be +/- same,maybe even lower then now.
It seems to me that I will no longer pay attention to all the forecasts that indicate a positive change in the cryptocurrency market. For the entire period of 2018, no significant changes have occurred, and we are only seeing another fall in cryptocurrency prices.
The whole year we were promised by experts growth, in the beginning, middle, end, and in fact we have only a stable fall to the bottom and nothing more.
Yes, this situation can be very frustrating for market participants. But we should not forget that, in the main, the market and the price of currencies are not managed by us, but by large investors who have so much money that they can easily manipulate the exchange rate. I dont know when there will be a price increase or another drop, but I know for sure that large investors want to earn as much as possible in this market. Investment funds don't yet have legal ways to enter this market, which means these ways will be developed in the future. This means that interest will only grow.
I am sure that now, as well as the whole of 2018, the soil is being prepared, so that the funds could buy as many crypto currencies as possible at low prices. Bitcoin ETF is scheduled for February 2019, and soon BAKKT will launch Bitcoin futures. In the past, these events were postponed, which caused market participants only doubts that they would be realized. And now, many don't believe that this will happen, so nothing will be done to be ready to turn. And major players will take advantage of this.
So don't give in to a general panic, and be on the alert.
