In mid-December 2017, the bitcoin price traded at around $19,000, and bullish sentiment was so strong that the $11,500 mark seemed to be a distant memory. Over a year and a half and a vicious crypto market decline later, bitcoin climbing as high as $11,500 before the end of 2019 remains unthinkable, even to many bulls. However, i strongly believe it will reach this mark and even beyond.
