Title: Price lowering a bit
Post by: PinkLlama on May 08, 2016, 09:17:02 AM
So the halvening is close (yay) and the price is probably going to go up then (my speculation). The price of BTC today was $460.48 and now is $458.15 which is a -0.29% drop. Do you guys think it will lower more? I think so.

Are you predicting the next few hours? 
The price is up about 20 bucks this week, why cry about the price momentarily falling 1 dollar back down?

The price could rise or fall today, that is basically a coin toss, but in the longer term I expect the price to rise.

Yeah. I wasn't talking about any larger amount of time. I'm saying if the price is going to maybe drop to $450 that it would probably be an okay idea to buy then. In the long term, Bitcoin price will probably rise since the halvening is close and due to the fact that Bitcoin is getting more popular.

It depends how many financial institutions are investing in bitcoin and analyzing the data for a profit. Remember it already jumped from around $200 a bitcoin a few months ago to it's current rate, maybe the halving has already been factored in to the price.

it's funny to see that people don't say much when the price is rising with a decent amount, but when the price goes down a few bucks people somehow start to get a little bit worried. don't look at these micro fluctuations unless you're a high frequency trader making hundreds of thousands of profit each year. but i'm sure that isn't the case here. the price behaves like it always has done. it has gone up a few bucks and maybe tomorrow or somewhere next week it will go down a few bucks. nothing special.

this image has been posted a lot around here:

the halving will likely not instantly make the price skyrocket

also, the price will most likely not be double of what it is. Just because block rewards half doesn't mean the price doubles, the relation between block rewards and price  is inversely related, but not exactly linear, its more complex than that.

So the halvening is close (yay) and the price is probably going to go up then (my speculation). The price of BTC today was $460.48 and now is $458.15 which is a -0.29% drop. Do you guys think it will lower more? I think so.

are you even serious? who cares about a 2 dollar drop? honestly.

I don't really like to make the same reply as I make in some similar threads but, this is really nothing just a bump up and down. This is a normal occurrence in literally every trade. The percentage of drop isn't even that significant to begin with, considering the value of btc.

Anything +-10 USD is like normal, (it has become as usual thing), a difference of 0.29% that you mention can happen any time, so the price can go even lower but i wouldn't put to much attention to this small change.

It's more than evident that the bitcoin price is consistently scalping and the new support level seems to be fixed at $430. It seems pretty unlikely to see all larger reversion towards $400 or below.

It'll go up. It'll go down. I know that's shocking but it's something we're gonna have to continue living with.

I also think that the price will fall. I can even believe that before halving, we can see the price close to even $400.

And it's at 457 right now. I don't think it will go down significantly because it's pretty much normal to go up and down around 15 dollars so most likely it's due to the normal market manipulation done by whales and nothing serious to be worried about.

Well, everyone knows (or should know by now) that there is a period just before a tsunami hits land, that the waters recede. And that is the sign to head for the high ground as fast as you can. I'm not trying to say that there will be a bitcoin tsunami, but... there will be a bitcoin tsunami.

Make sure you take all the necessary precautions.  ;)

Price lowering a bit? It's still higher than the ~$420 exactly a month ago. We are perfectly fine at this moment as we are ~$37 higher.

I hope not because I thought that the price was going to hit $500 this month but now with the price dropping I have my doubts again. So let the price not be dropping again because it would disappoint me.

that's normal, the price can not remain stuck there there are spread, hell there are spread in every market, perfectly normal, see forex price change all the tiem for euro and usd also

there is no market ever where the price will not change forever, unless there is no demand and supply, and the price is issued and fixed by one entity

do you really care for they normal daily price movement ?
 bitcoin can go down in one normal day more than this percentage. so you can not build any argument on this market movement

This is always happening with the price, out of no where the price goes up 20 Dollars and then short after that the price is down 20 Dollars. So do not be shocked when you see this happening more often.

Today the price decreased a bit too from $455 to $449 a change of 6 USD or $0.78, i think we should not worry much about this decrease because i consider it as normal. Everything 10% and up we should worry about it.

do not worry, it is very common. even bitcoin never go down quickly, but there are still many people who use it. bitcoin will always be used, and the more you use bitcoin, then the price would be getting up and more stable, I think right now you do not have to worry about the price of bitcoin, but think how you can produce with many bitcoin

it's not even worth talking about. these ups and downs of $10 are indeed very normal. you should start with worrying once the price drops $50 at once.
