That is just a more reasonable assumption for Bitcoin because right now there are many who are hoping for a brighter future for Bitcoin before the year ends as Bitcoin is still below $60K although there are still many who continue to believe in Bitcoin and also with the good potential that can still happen in Bitcoin. I also do not consider the current condition as the end because Bitcoin can still grow and increase over time so people who are still hoping to see $100K in Bitcoin is quite logical to hope because Bitcoin is still living a better life at this time.
The hope is always open for it to go up to $100k, for me it is a Psychological price , in fact many traders and investors will sell at this price , which does not seem right to me, but everyone is the owner of their money, however when I see opinions like this there is nothing else to do but respect, but personally I think that when BTC reaches $100k the price may continue to rise and rise, and those who sell at $100k could be missing out on the whole movement , so you have to have a lot of patience and moderation to control those desires to sell, it is better to try to better locate where the ATH may be.
