Based on data I saw in CMC the price of bitcoin went up within a few hours about $700, which was originally $10600 now at $11375, whether this is just a manipulation as whales do to provoke the ongoing FOMO, which then whales will take profit and the price will dump or will rise steadily until the end of the year as experts predict until it rises to $12000
Probably there's no manipulation done here, it's just a normal market value which actually occurs during the reality of the demand. Though whales kept chasing their profit, the price will have to go up and down at $11k range. This year is really hard to achieve above $12k or better due to unstable market that suddenly fall back because of current economy that hasn't fully recovered.
