Do you feel like the markets are more or less predictable than back in 2017?

Was just thinking about this and was curious about your guys thoughts. Back in 2017 I felt like the markets moved in patterns and it was super easy to trade. I remember watching Litecoin and some other coins were really easy to swing trade on a daily basis and movements were really predictable. It also seemed like the top 100 coins had much less movement, it's kind of crazy looking at the charts these days I see coins I've never heard of where as before it was Lisk, ARK, NEM, SIA, and a whole different batch of coins.

In some ways I feel like its harder to trade and that the markets are less predictable, yet at the same time it does seem like one news story or rumor is less likely to shake the markets where as back in 2017 one rumor out of China and markets could dump 30% or some new coin hits a new exchange and things surge. It doesn't seem like were as vulnerable to wild moves based off a single news story, new listing or rumor.

Just curious if you guys, for those who have been around since 2017 or longer feel its easier or harder to trade these days and are markets less or more predictable?
