Let's be honest and admit that the price is determined by the whales and not by good or bad news, the lightning network or the next Bitcoin halving. If the whales say it will be time for 6,000 bucks the price will rise. The question is when the whales think the price is right. 6k will come again, the only question is when.

You're right about the whales, but I think that you are wrong about the halving. The halving has a good potential to trigger bigger changes in the market, maybe even an uptrend. That's actually one of the reasons 6k is a matter of "when".
On the other hand, I'm not convinced by the relationship between the price and LN and, even more, about the "November" time target.
Like the topic of this page, it just a kind of Speculation. From the bitcoin price chat history, November it a month that have more chance to have a higher price .
