Is Bitcoin in upward or downward trend?

After such a huge correction, it is good to see Bitcoin back on track as it has made a gain of $1700 from $11000 to $12700. $18000 is still an ATH goal and it might take few more months before reaching that goal. The market has recovered from the down trend. There will be minor drops in BTC's price since it is highly volatile but at the end, gains will be more than that of the drops. History speaks for the future. So don't lose the trust and HODL.
