Let me check my crystal ball and I'll get back to you. 
Joke aside, no one knows the bottom (or top) and those who think they do (like those people you mention) are full of shit and you shouldn't listen to them. If you are asking about the bottom because you are waiting to invest, I think that you consider DCA investment method so you don't have to worry about tops and bottoms and instead focus on acquiring more bitcoin. On the other hand, if you are trader and you came here to ask us where it is going, then I would suggest you that trading is maybe not for you.

Exactly my point
though, am not a trader yet, still a student learning, and still early in the space
As early as now, you should be having Btcs while you're still a student. The world after being a student is so cruel and you might not want to work for an inconsiderate company.
Right after you finish your studies, those Bitcoin you have accumulated today, while you're still a student will help you build your own business.
As for the BTC price concerns, DCAing is the perfect investment entry plan.
