Seems the market is more manipulated that ever before with Options trading. Everyone is "holding" out and waiting to see but do you think it will really come? I lean to it being more steady increase over time that some mass crazy rise like last year.
Long time bitcoin holders will have the chance to earn their profits this year after more than a year of holding because the top coin is in price rally again. The rise is said to partly fueled by some big institutional investors and some positive events might climbed up to another all-time high if the growth continues. I believe that many investors last year still chose to hodl their bitcoins instead of selling them in loss because they don't lose their faith in bitcoin to recover someday. Many forthcoming events like the bitcoin halving may further boost the price of the top coin in the coming months.
