Not achieved this year, yes, I agree, but not for the next year. After Halving I was very optimistic that the price of Bitcoin could reach 11k or even higher. They are always wrong in predicting prices, but with experience you can read how the future price.
I hope that bitcoin could reach $11k before halving

So after bitcoin halving, the bitcoin price can reach another highest price, and who knows, bitcoin price can slightly move to more than $15k. If that happens, we will go to make a big profit again, especially if we can buy bitcoin below than $9k.
People now are waiting for bitcoin prices to hit a higher rate while they still buy and sell bitcoin to add more profit. We can also try to trade bitcoin to make another profit too like them.
