We may not be able to predict when it will reach ATH will it be this year or in coming years is unknown. But in long term it will break those records too and we have seen how it has moved from 10k to 12k itself shows that bounce back in bitcoin is very much possible and it will continue to happen.
Prior the ATH of 2017 it made a huge rally of ups and down. Bitcoin was able to reach high ups and deep downs to market price movement. However, in the end ATH was being recorded. Bitcoin market is unpredictable and others especially to those who are new may get worried or emotional on these to which it will result to losses just like what I did before the time I invested and made bitcoin a huge market price fall down to its lowest possible recorded on 2018. I was really upset that time and emotional leading to losses in my investment.
