the question is what will make bitcoin recover and can have high prices again?
This type of question had been asked in this forum for more 1000 times and bitcoin proved its potential every time since then. One simple answer is, in next 20 to 25 years, one bitcoin may value half the billion. It may sound unrealistic to you and most of the people in this forum but that is the real fact and may happen in some year around 2040. Believing in to such an predictable value for bitcoin must be the factor which I am still holding in my heart so that I am deliberately expecting that bitcoin prices to recover anytime soon.
The volume of Bitcoin is still the highest to date, but no one knows why prices always go down, is this the reason there is no more trust by investors.
Prices are going down due to the reasons of market manipulators and innocent traders who are listening to FUDs. Bitcoin is being trusted by many financial institutions and lots of individual investors around the world and that is the reason prices are still three times higher than what we had by the end of 2016.
