It's funny that when the price was going down a lot, all analysts and famous people kept saying that the price would go down a lot, they were all peximists, and now that the price is going up a lot, everyone started to appear again on the news channels and on social networks to say that the price will go up a lot, it seems to me that we will always see this same cycle:
price drops = everyone makes very negative forecasts
price increases a little = everyone shows up to make very high and exaggerated price predictions
and the cycle will continue for many, many years
I somehow disagree. Even though price of BTC were going down, many speculators and analysts predicts that it was just a correction and probably be returning in its ATH again. Price manipulation is really a thing but for those who truly hard core bitcoiners these aren't big deal. These are just a mere speculation and spread FUD through entire social media just to amplifies the current situation and earn more from it.
