The strongest and most influential players of this market are the whales and institutional investors. You can expect them to manipulate the market to generate a feeling of mistrust and fear among average investors, who will consequently feel tempted to sell their holdings due to potential crashes in crypto market yet. And that is when those whales just purchase all the cheap coins for sale, instantly boosting prices to new ATHs, while the fools who sold are left with nothing on their wallets...

Just be patient and keep waiting for the right time. Once the prices skyrocket again, it will happen suddenly without previous warnings, so nobody will have time to buy new coins to join the party. That is why investors have to keep their tickets very well stored in safe places beforehand.
