Efficient sophisticated markets -- which the BTC markets are quite close to being now with as they have derivatives, wide accessibility, years of maturity -- do not simply reflect present demand, but instead the current best prediction of cumulative total future value.
Adoption demand has overall followed a rather clear and steady trend, so it's a bit hard to say that there's anything very unpredictable going on here.

RE sophisticated market - Yes, BTC is now far closer to a sophisticated market, which is mostly reflecting the consensus prediction of cumulative future value, instead of a totally unsophisticated market that fluctuates around purely based on present demand of people directly using the asset for non-investment purposes.
