The market has slowed down considerably and it doesn't seem like it is going to accelerate anytime soon, with that in mind I cannot see the price going above 10000 before the end of the year and it is likely that we will close the year with a negative trend, but no one should be too worried about it the halving is too close and this should be enough to attract enough investors so we can avoid another crash, but even then it is not going to be enough to get to another ATH.
If the market closes this year with $10k, I think that it is still a very big achievement considering what the market opened with at the beginning of the year, we would never have imagined that the value could have gone this high and the way the bear market was so dip, who would have also even imagined that bitcoin amidst all other altcoins could have make it this far.
It would have been so frustrating if bitcoin was still in the same position has those other altcoins that is giving us lots of frustrations are now. I do hope that bitcoin gets back to $10k this year ending and if it does, I dint think we should term that as it ending at negative trend, it is a fair value because it is 3x of what it started with at the beginning of this year.
