I think in 2019 the price of bitcoin is difficult to rise high, and if you want to get a price leap like in 2017 it will probably not be achieved this year.
I'm not looking with the same scenario as 2017. It just can't happen that quick like what we want to see badly. Difficulty depends on the demand of the market, few days ago bitcoin was sitting on $3,800 - $3,900 and now it has broke the level of $4,000. There's still hope that this year isn't too difficult for bitcoin to recover and it will bring the whole market into that recovery that we're all expecting. It won't be the same like the usual bulls but it just has to recover.
