Historically tracing back from 2016/2017 when the value of BTC started counting it's price in thousands, BTC rose from $900 in 2016 to $1000 in 2017. Mid May 2017, it surpassed $2000 and flew to over $19000 during December period, BTC followed this trend through 2018 and 2019 until it experienced a significant price drop by mid-December, 2019 to about $6600.
During 2020, there was economic distress due to COVID-19 pandemic BTC opened the year with $7000 and at the end of November, BTC was trading $18300. December, 2020 BTC touched $28900, experiencing an increase throughout the year.
At the beginning of 2021, BTC price rose above the trend of the previous year climbing above $40000 and by April 2021, it touched a new ATH of over $60000, touching a peak of $64800. November 2021it touched $69000 and fell below $47000 in December period.

With the situation of things, factors determining market price and the market trend can BTC beat the ATH it has attained before the end of the year?
Your thoughts will be highly appreciated.
If I base it on the historical price of Bitcoin, first of all, we have not really experienced the so-called bull run on Bitcoin. We are currently in bull season, which means we are far from a bear market. The altcoins season hasn't even happened yet; before the rally for bitcoin happens, it's the altcoins season first, although that will only happen for a while, and after that it's really a bull run.
Therefore, the ATH of bitcoin, in my opinion, will not happen this last month of 2024; instead, it will happen next year, 2025, and we just don't know which month because none of us really know, so just assess it; that's just your opinion or speculation.
