I want to hear what everyone thinks the price will be after the halving happening in the next few weeks. I'm predicting at least a $1200 Bitcoin by the end of July. Thoughts?

I will say price will remain between 800 to 900$ on halving as it is very hard to reach 1200$ as you predicted with lots of dump going on right now from weak holders.

I think it will rise to around $900 from august to september. Around $1000 in oct november and back to $900 in december. Should stay atound there for some time ( a couple of months ). IMHO

Share the same opinion as the previous members i think that the price will be between $800-1000 in the week after the halving then in the next weeks it will be +$1000

Thanks for the input. I've been seeing predictions ranging all over the place and was curious what you guys thought.

Bitcoin may hit the price of $1k at halving but after halving price may drop and it will be stabilize at $800 price and if it achieves that then I would be really satisfied.

i think bitcoin price will drop after halving time it is normal reaction  people will want to buy after hight price of bitcoin and  my predictions  is bitcoin price will be 700 dollars after halving .

I'm thinking Ganymede or Europa

Maybe we've already had our pump and it's back to business as usual. Or the real action hasn't even begun yet. No way of knowing. These types of moves are a few signs of life at least.

my prediction, btc price would be going up around $1000-$1200 until halving just like in 2013. A lot of people still holding their btc until halving happens , and then maybe btc price would be decrease again because people will make a dump after btc reach that price.

420$ cause bitcoin price made a huge downside this week and its getting deeper and deeper.. halving price already ended ,and next will be a tremendous decrease in price.

I see what everyone is talking about with the major sell off after the halving (provided the price does surge), but I don't think that Bitcoin has hit its halving price yet. I think that first surge we saw in the last couple of weeks was 'panic buying' after heavy involvement from the Chinese market. So my thought is now that that artificial inflation is correcting (partially due to Bitfinex, DAO, and whatever other mess is happening), Bitcoin is finally set up for a halving surge. Thoughts?

(I could be horribly inaccurate but that's why I'm trying to get some outside opinions)

it is very difficult to predict, because at the time of bitcoin prices rose high, the price will come down because many people who sell their bitcoin, but maybe after halving, bitcoin prices would normally be at $ 800

Well one thing is for sure; Brexit was certainly a blessing for Bitcoin!

I can tell you what's going to happen on around July 11th, the day of halving. NOTHING. That's right, price will have reached the saturation point by then, not much buying or selling will happen on that day. There will be no major price fluctuations in the middle of July, before, during and after the halving. We will see the price crashing back down to 300-400 level in the weeks after the halving. Price will rise again in November/December when we will see 1000, but it won't stay too long.

I am a believer. so I would say its gonna be more than 1000$ after halving. However, due to volatility I expect lows down to 450$ and highs to 1500$, so important thing is not to buy or sell at wrong time... If we could know :)

In the long run, I think bitcoin has a 20k$+ potential a piece, but that will only get closer in a few years.

i am expecting an above $1000 price for bitcoin after the halving even if it is for a short period of time but the question is about when it is going to happen. and that is the hard part to predict because it can be a week or a even a couple of months to get there and in the meanwhile the price can stay here or even go down to $550 which i believe is the new bottom for bitcoin.

$850, most likely range 800-900, peak under 1k, otherwise another rally will begin

i believe we will get a continuous up trend after the halving and for the upcming years until the 2020 halving

some big dump are always expected here and there, but they do not matter for me, they are good for trading i guess that's...

Around $800 as minimum and close to $1000 as maximum.

Price rally have been great this past weeks. Halving speculation really helps up the price increase. Some people thinks that the price rise is due to upcoming halving so they riding the train without knowing what is really the source.

Because of this, halving speculations are maximizing it's potential of bringing more price increase while we are getting closer to the halving eta.

Maybe $800 could be the minimum price of bitcoin but $1000 wouldn't be the maximum since we could see a huge spike at any time during the halving  ;)

There is a thread where a member gives away 0.01BTC or 0.02BTC if you predict the exact or the nearest price for 1 july but i think that your prediction about bitcoin at the end of July is high. I think that the price will be around $750-$800, until the end of next month i think that we will see panic buying then panic selling.

It will most probably be fluctuating between $550-$650. I don't think it will ever reach $1200 in July and I honestly, don't want it to as well as then the price may drop to $300 as per the chart. Also, the experts had already predicted that it would reach max $800 and it already achieved that target.

I think $1200 will be the start of July and at the mid it will be there or will continue to increase more higher andat the end of July it will be at more strength and hope it will continue like that till the end of the year.

I think the price will stay where it is now. If Brexit, which is roiling the world markets, didn't make bitcoin rise, the halving won't either.

I think one of two things will happen:

1. Price does not change, or changes very little, and miners cannot sustain any profit at current difficulty; thus forced to stop mining, and difficulty will decrease, which means it will be a good time to invest into mining

2. Price increases and miners invest more, increasing difficulty, less coins mined per day, thus increasing price further, and mining is riskier because it depends on the high btc price

Who knows to what value it will increase... $800-1000 seems realistic

for me, i will guess about the double of right now, ie. $1200 if i am correct, since supply is halving.
because the mining equipment is dependent to bitcoin price, not their function. ???

Last halving had price go from $25 to $1250, so about 50x gain.

Now let's say price is $700 pre-halving, 50x gain is $35k. So potentially reaching a high point of $35k/Bitcoin within a year or so.

I like your prediction, but less so your logic :)

I am predicting a 800$ price but  2 months or more from  halving.
Why? with every good news price is take a slightly increase... so we have to wait!

Its almost impossible to predict the prices of bitcoins these days. So much variation is going on ,not only on each day, but on every minute. We cannot be sure what will be the price of bitcoins after 1 hour. I think once the halving will e over we could see little stability in the prices on  bitcoins and from then onwards we can make predictions.

My bet is we will stay in the $500-600 range.

Unfortunately it will not rise much more for quite a while. Bitcoin will now be trading in the $600s - its new home.

The higher the value the more fresh money you will need to achieve crazy runs like that.
I think with a 2x we could be more than happy.After the halving and with a delay of a few months we will see this growth going to happen I believe.

Don't think many people will complain with the price staying in the $600's for a long time after the halving. Better than seeing the price go back to the $400-$500's.

I think it will just stay 600-700 still. that's just about it.
Don't expect too much this time, it may even be just $500 and this could be because of the newer coins to which people prefer these days due to its adaptability.

But you realize if this happens, then most miners have to shut off their machines because it won't be profitable after the halving. I think the bitcoin price has to rise, else miners will be forced to take a loss

Guys wtf, EU is crumbling, USA is being eaten from inside out and we will see huge spikes. What u can do is spell doom all over the markets, scare the sh##t out of their minds, make them dump their shares and come to our hugs  ;D Am trying to say that we already passed the line with fiat money and what's left behind is gold, silver, Bitcoin, bullets & uncertainty.

Ps, in the last 3 days markets all over the world lost 130 billion dollars in capitalization, make it burn dem!

anything is possible with bitcoin these days.
you can see a huge rise at any moment without any warning and the interesting part is that the market is ready for it and everybody is standing with their money at hand to jump in.

$1200 seems to be difficult to achieve after the halving, and if price reaches to $1k at halving then majority of people will sell their coins which will result in price drop after halving.

I think it will pass the all time high, by how much i don't know.

Well described 1200$ is highly possible because the price grows with steep variations. At the same the price surely decreases gradually after halving.

800-1k  around mid of July.  Halving itself will not  make much diffrens. It all depends on  if we will get new buyers into the system. the more people buy thinking about the halving then the price will offcourse rise.  So lets hope the word is spreading about halving and the potential  of profit and to have lots of people buy buy buy and we might even see 2k USD/BTC

Considering we are at half of that, and the halving is in days, we can forget this.
The market is on it's return. I would be very suprised if the price would stay over 500 dollar honestly.

it's the halving that is making difference now, witht he hype for the halving people are buying like crazy, and the price went up, if another wave of hype for the halving begin the price will go even further, but i doubt we will see another ath this time

50x of a 10B market cap is only 500B, or roughly 0.2% of US federal debt. It's far from unreachable high territory. I would lower my expectations once we reach trillion territory.

It's going to fall below $550 as we need a stability in terms of bitcoin's price. We already reached $800 but it couldn't survive for more than a week. $550 also is not that bad as we were stuck at $450 for nearly 5 months. We are also nearing the end of halving.

If they sell coins sooner or later they return and the price is acquired again.

Back to the 400's, like before the halving.

Hope I'm wrong and prices at least don't fall, but it is like they say, wish for the best, be prepared for the worst

No one can really say what is gonna happen but I think the bitcoin will go to a higher amount after the halving.
There is just one way to find out what is gonna happen and that is just really be patient and let it happen.

Price will increase for a day or three after halving. i think it can go upto 1000$ but many people will not be able to sell at that price because they wont find any foolish buyer to buy their coins in the halving.

It will drop since miners have to sell more coins to cover operating costs.

$550 is very less amount for the bitcoin even when the halving will also be in that month, I will say that the price of bitcoin will increase to a highest value as was happened in the previous halving when the price of bitcoin reached from $280 to $1200.

I think that the price of bitcoin will be around $750-$800, but not at start of July, it will be at the end of July or we can say that it will be at the end of this year. The price will have the real effect of halving only after it happens and will rise like sky rocket.

But I believe nobody can actually predict the price after halving. It's not wise to expect it to reach $1k+ so soon and many predicted the price to reach $800 by the time halving ends and hence it would again drop back to what it was in the beginning (that's $400-$420) and we would need the market to be stable to keep the price ticking.

the price of bitcoin after halving block will going down between $300-$400, and it will happen around 3-4 months after halving block of bitcoin.

I agree with the prediction of OP I am sure that when the month of July will come to the end the value of bitcoin will be around $1200 as in that month the demand of bitcoin will ncrease much more and the supply will be limited.

I don't think that's right, i believe and most Bitcoin's users that the Bitcoin's price will increase highly after the next halving and may be it will going up 1000$ as expected.

The price will increase after the next halving , most likely, i hope it get more than 1000$ by the end of the next month.

perhaps more precisely $ 1,000 more, maybe I agree with some of the above opinion, may be the price after halving is $ 1,200, that's because bitcoin will evolve into something better when the price increase, and probably bitcoin will be considered by entrepreneurs who have a lot of money,. I guess it could maximize bitcoin prices rise higher after halving

My guess is that we won't move over the $700 mark by the end of July. The latest rise was pretty significant and it will take some longer time to repeat it.

If you're right I probably won't ever have to work again  :D

I guess the price aftter halving will be over $800.

Will second that, since we are like $600 and more just now and the event still beeing in front of us.

Regardless of what people think, whether it be a rise or fall in price, I can guarantee you that the majority of investors and even miners will hold their coins through the halving purly out of curiosity. Also, with the publicity Bitcoin has been getting, and with these speculation threads and articles, new buyers will flock to exchanges and buy before the halving because they can't help it. It's basically gambling at this point and nobody can resist Bitcoin's mysterious volatility, especially if they're new to Bitcoin.

So I'm still a believer in a price spike  :)

The bitcoin market price might take a upward trend after the bitcoin block halving and reach around $800-900.

it would be really cool if your predictions would turn out to be true, but in my opinion nearly anything might happen and the price might also fall not only go up after the halving

i think the price will be nearly the same during the halving and it might take a small drop after the halving as all people will start selling their bitcoins in order to make some profit

If the bitcoin market price starts falling after the bitcoin block halving it might be possible that the miners who were holding will cash out.

I think that the price might increase after the halving and take a dip afterwards.

Judging from the current price action, it could go back to sub $600. It looks like the drivers are gone and has left the rest of the pack with their profits. So my best guess would be btc price at $550 after the halving.

I'm curious as to what would happen to signature campaigns--if anything--if bitcoin went to, say, $10,000.  By my advanced math, I would be earning $3 per post (30K satoshi) at that point.  Do you think places like Yobit would still be paying such an outrageous amount for posters?  I have a hard time believing they would.  I was not paying attention to such things back in 2013 when we hit $1200.

So yeah, $10K would be bitchen, although I wouldn't exactly stand by that as a prediction.

that means I would be earning $60 a day for it. thats good. it may not however happen  since they would probably change their rates.

Anyway, I suspect the devs these days are trying to create more ICOs this time just to grab our BTCs leaving us their new coin/tokens that won't double after halving.

We are in the upwards trend since $250 last summer. Take a look at the charts!

Signature campaigns adjust their payments according to the current price of Bitcoin. Meaning, when the price jumps up the payments per post usually go down to reflect the fiat equivalent. That is one thing. Second thing is I doubt we get to $10k in any foreseeable future. Let us get to $1k first and see if we can stay for a longer while above that level.

i am predicting the same price after the halving but i don't believe it can happen by the end of July, i think it can take a bit longer and after halving there can even be some down time and then the price rises.

in short a similar scenario like the rise from $450 to $780 is going to happen

I concur. They are out there to make profits in bitcoins because it is the only cryptocurrency that is considered as the closest to "money". Instead of focusing on creating some value for their own altcoins, they blatantly scam people into buying their "idea". But not all are scams. I believe there are some that actually want to create and build something that would be beneficial to society.

I think price will be $1200-$1600 range after halving completed  :o

You really expect the price to increase more than twice in less than a month?
Or maybe you're talking about the next halving in 2021.

So it's gonna be sub-$700 by the end of the month? Interesting, IMO it's gonna crash a bit after the halving when people cash out, so it's gonna be entirely dependent on how the price rises during the hype. I suppose a fair price would be:

You mean this summer of last year summer? If you're talking about last year summer it is not really because we dropped this last october-november and after year 2015, the price get stable for 2-3 months.

the prices increasing a bit today and my thought this is will be continue slowly climbing until halving dates
and my predictions for the prices by the end of july still $900 below

halving the current may have ended, and bitcoin prices are still around $ 650, but I am pretty sure bitcoin prices will rise again, and I also agree with you, that bitcoin prices still under $ 900 at the end of the month of July

halving is not ended but it will take place after two weeks, and at that event the reward for the miners will be reduced to half and the smaller miners will leave mining and so the supply will be reduced and with that the demand will increase the price to a much height.

well thats just a month left and it will be after the halving so i wouldnt be impressed if your prediction would turn out to be actually correct as most of the people will be selling their coins after it

before the halving we might expect to see a big pump happening but in a few weeks the price will be dumped when people will try to take out as much profit of bitcoins as possible

I meant summer 2015, as summer 2016 has just started at northern hemisphere (I guess you haven't seen Bitcoin at $250 anywhere in the last 10 days, have you?).
If you look at the one year chart, we haven't really broke the upwards trend yet. Upwards trend doesn't mean that the price endlessly growths; there may be some corrections in between without breaking the trend.

the price started to increase all the time right now, i think that the price will also have a lot of potential to grow in my opinion and that is really cool, i hope we will reach a new all time high

after the halving i think the price will be something like 900 dollars or something like that and i think that we will make some good profit out of bitcoins if we buy right now

200-2000 anything.

Around 600-700, stabilized for a while, until the next move, I don't know when, why and to what direction

Well you probably won't be wrong haha

he really knew btc price won't go down to 200 but wouldn't go beyond 2k as well.  lol seem like a safe forecast lol.
my prediction is that the price will be from $680 - 720, this is just the range.

i think that what price you are telling will be seen after halving of some days as mostly before halving the price will go nearby $900 - $1000 but after halving the selling pressure will start so it will be stabilize near by $600 - $700 range

My prediction price peak will occur one day before halving and after halving the possibility of stable prices or big dump occurs.

I don't think the price peak will occur a day before, it will be continual. Bitcoin Price Continues To Soar Ahead Of Next Month’s Halving.

Over $700 would be wonderful achievement price get stable floor this range because I don't think there will be big bubble will happen after the halving, I am not sure we are going to cross 4 figure in price and it looking really high at this stage.

*Price prediction post halvening.

I believe the run up to the having has been manipulation from whales, china and a small percentage of user adoption. Still I don't see much use cases emerging for the average joe, except the obvious overseas remittance.

The halvening with come and the market will experience a mass dump dropping the price low $500's usd. The following three months will drive the price to new ATH.

 

well it depends on how much time in the future you say i guess, like a year after halving it will surely be able to reach such big price as 2000 dollars in my opinion

though i doubt that the price is going to drop to 200 dollars, i think that right after the halving we will be 900 dollar price, it would be really cool as there would be a big price growth

I also hope that the price will be $ 700 bitcoin after halving, and bitcoin prices will be stable, because it may be very many people are disappointed if the price is not stable bitcoin account after halving

Stable price of $700 is good to hold after the halving and I think many users will be satisfied with that price as no one wants to see price below $600 now.

Honestly we are already made a profit with this price today and i think many people are still waiting for more price increase they are not satisfied what the price today but some people are satisfied for the price increase so i think the price will hardly to increase but we will see that the price these days should be increase because block halving is nearly coming.

The price of bitcoin will be more than $700 after halving and everyone will be happy with halving, and the stability is also favorable as wit the price stability people will not afraid from it  and will invest their money in their for their businesses.

One week to go, We see how accurate is your prediction and in which direction the price moves.

People are not satisfied because they are disappointed in the price not having reached $800 very recently. They just want to see the price keep increasing without thinking about what's needed to get there. They want their profit, and that's it.

Sadly you're right. I do, however, like the fact that investors and those only interested in profit are speculating and becoming interested. They are drawing much needed attention to Bitcoin and, as a result, publicizing it and making it more of a social norm, which benefits the whole network in the end.

I believe bitcoin can touch 1200 $ like OP said. That is reasonable prediction and I agree with that, my thinking is that btc will go over 900 - 1000 $. I wonder can we hold that price after this big rise, its not a little to rise from 400 to 1200 in just couple months. Who had money to invest in that moment already made a good profit, and there potential for even higher profit.
Price is going up, and I think its a good sign. We can expect to go up in next month and we will see how much it can go. For me its much important where will stay, and stabilize.

No one can really predict this if course but I mus agree with you that 1200 dollar is realistic and possible for sure.
We still have to see this with our own eyes but one thing is in my eyes sure and that is that its gonna reach this number.

4 days left... we'll see how accurate these predictions are

i think that the price of the bitcoin is going to be much higher, in my opinion we will soon see a huge growth because most of the people will be buying their bitcoins as the halving will happen

$800 - $850 range imo

I think it may even drop to $650 range in weeks after as it's a 'funny old game'

but there are many bullish indicators imo and feel definitely passing the old ATH of $1200 at some point this year and will motor past
hopefully early autumn time

i think he will be right about this, the price is definitely going to jump in the future i think as all the people will be buying before the halving in order to earn vast money i think

most probably you are right about that, the price is not going to jump really high really fast in my opinion but we might see a decent increase and that will be about 800 dollars per bitcoin

I think a lot people will just be happy if the price can keep its position above the $600 level. It's fine as long as it doesn't go back to the $5XX's this year again. It will result in a lot sad faces and bad sentiment.

well yeah, i would be happy, but if there will be no decent price growth a lot od people will be disappointed in this whole thing in my opinion and they will sell out their bitcoins in order to take money

Do you realize that last year the price was under 200$ yet still profitable for miners?

I am not aware that the bitcoin price was $1xx in the previous year, in what exchange this happened? I remember that the cloudmining shits gave a 0 (maybe a minus) profit to their users but for the real miners it was a hard time, we need to remember that no one will continue its service with a low profit

https://blockchain.info/charts/market-price?timespan=2year&showDataPoints=false&daysAverageString=1&show_header=true&scale=0&address=

jan 2015  1BTC = $177

700$ for me. it is possible to break 660$.

Ah my bad i thought you were talking about the last drop since I didn't notice that the price dropped under $200 but ok you are correct

Well no one can predict this because of the fact the bitcoin is always unpredictable, I think that honestly its gonna rise.
I hope it will be increasing to a nice price between the 800 dollar and the 1500 dollar..

You are 100% right about that, no one can predict the future of the bitcoin and I think that we have to have some patient.

Maybe it will be around the 1000 dollar or more, really hoping on that.

Unpredictable yeah, but the price can't really go too down! ^^

After halving, price needs to go up because of diminution of reward.

Hmm,this is a possible target indeed.The thing is that you are like first or second person i see,which actually
predicts a normal price after halving,not some ridiculous 1000$ or something.
I agree with you,it may break with 660$ at ease,getting 700 would be nothing strange.

The price is already showing a steady upward trend with just over 100 blocks to go...this should be pretty interesting regardless of what happens.

There is definitely strength shown at the mid 600's. I think no matter what happens this will be a good place for support. There is a big chance that there can and will be a huge selloff at halving, but there is also a good chance that there will be panic buying. The market has moved to meet speculation so anything could happen.

the one thing is sure that we will not lose our money after halving as after halving the price will have a very good effect with the lesser supply, it is true that a number of people will sell their coins but there are a lot of people who know that what is going to happen and they will not sell their coins and in the coming future they will get more profits from it.

thats my thoughts too.  remember the last big pump was several months after the halving, so it may take a while to happen.
i was really surprised we had a dip there few days ago, felt like a "last chance to get in" moment haha

I noticed that too  :D
It is like the bitcoin price is teasing us to buy before it is too late  :-*
A shame bitcoin a shame on you haha. :D

People have had enough time to buy as many coins as possible when the price was around $400. For some reason they always tend to wait a long time before they actually start buying.

With Bitcoin's volatility it is kind of hard to get yourself to buy until you see a good upward movement to give you confidence, which is why people tend to wait. So with that final dip I bet you guys are right that some people were pretty happy to get in before it's too late haha :D

The halvening is near, and things have changed a bit the last days. When first it seemed people had already dumped following the 780 peak, the 560-80 range held and it seems to be all bullish again.

So my predictions are: The halving day is a "party day", so it must be bullish. The price will reach ~700 around the halving block (680-720). Then it will go up further a bit, and hit the 780 mark. If it breaks this mark (that's totally possible), then it will go even higher, into the high 800s.

For the next two months I predict relative high volatility in the range between 560 and 880, maybe even 950. Then things will calm down at around the same price we are now (600-680), with the sideways market ending in November/December with another uptrend.

Thats a very positive outlook. I would hope it could happen after all the demand for bitcoin is getting stronger still as people don't even recognize any altcoin yet.
A lot of us are holding BTC still even with all the ICOs around.

I agree with you I think you bring up a very valid point, price will be quite volatile.

I think the price of Bitcoin will reach 1000$ may be some weeks after the next halving , and it's possible that the price will exceed this level a little bit.

Well, for now, it seems price "stranded" on the same level that yesterday (640-650ish). So it isn't clear if my prediction from some posts earlier still is valid.

But still there are more than 40 blocks - or around 6-8 hours until the halvening event, and I consider it a crucial event for price predictions because of its "symbolic value". 680-720 are still possible: If things turn to positive again in a couple of hours and before the halvening we see >666 (the last local peak) then I expect a pump that can reach 700 easily.

If it doesn't happen and the day against my predictions turns to be bearish, then I think we will see a retest of the 560-580 area, with uncertain outcome. This event could determinate if the following months will be bearish or bullish, as there are practically no fundamental news (the McAfee announcement being an exception) that could move the price significantly.

I think the bitcoin price could rise 10 times in the next 12 to 24 months. The price rose 50 times after last halving.

10 times means reaching $6500 in only 1-2 years which i honestly thing is impossible to achieve in this short time.
besides you can't really compare rising from $10 to $50+ to rising from $650 to $6500 by just a simple multiplication. that doesn't work that way.

50 times in last halving? can you show us how  ???

Price can't go 10 times within next 12 to 24 hours for sure, as it will take lot more new money to enter into bitcoin economy and marketcap should be increased by atleast 10 times to get 10x price.

it's just another dreamer. i am quite sure that when the 12 to 24 months as he mentioned are over, he will look back at how far wrong his prediction is. maybe we won't even see the price reach a new all time high in 24 months...

Price of bitcoin is quite stable for a long time around $650, now few days back minor increase has happened, which took price around $680. Possibly expect to reach $700 soon.

well it is 11 days left till end of July, and price is still very stable, only 650$, so because of that, i am pretty sure that it won't be even close to 1200$ at end of month, to be honest, i would be surprised if price would be 900$ then, but i think that price won't rise ext 2 weeks for sure

and after these 2 weeks price will either rise or will fall down, and it is really hard to tell what will happen, if price will fall then it will fall to 400$ so, and if it will rise, it will go to 850$ but probably not more i think, but this is my opinion only

I beg to differ. I predict that bitcoin will go back under $600 in the coming months. The speculation about the halving is over and the people who got in to make a profit from it will leave sooner or later since the halving really had no effect on the price.

I also expect to see the smaller bitcoin mining farms to close because of the lesser reward and unprofitability. This may bring bitcoin's price to a stand still or go slightly down.

I think we are now expecting slow movement of the price because of block halving.. but if bitcoin will be in demand this follow weeks or months the price of bitcoin will increase more ..

Yeah we may see higher price in coming months as price is rising slowly at a moment so I have a feeling that we can expect the same in next couple of months.

Literally price jump prior to halving isn't because of the halving speculation. People just think of it as halving speculation since the event is coming. Because of this, the true reason isn't much that present to other and they didn't know much that it was all started because of attempted rally created by those big whales.

And you just think that there is no price rise since you are starting to take all the movements "after halving". But take a look how t



If more farms will be close then the production will be minimized. And because it will slow down, it will take the bitcoin price for an increase due to demands.

yeah, i think the price growth will keep on going from now on, if you checked the last prices after the first halving you would see that the bigger growth came after some time

It`ll grow because of its function.

It serves as a organic money transmitter - when we know and see countries that go into free fall like the british exiting the eu and other harsh periods.

That alone should be more reasons why - since it brings the people to have an option.

Price gonna be above our expectations in coming months and that is the reason I am holding my coins for higher price to earn higher profits from it.

The bitcoin price will rise between 20 to 100% every year in the next 10 to 20 years if more people use it.

So maybe $1200 was a little too much to expect in such a short period of time after the halving, but I am still confident Bitcoin will hit that price in the next couple of months. The reason I picked a high price was because I thought the chain reaction would happen quicker than it is happening as a result of the halving, but this delay may be a blessing. Since the price is stagnant right now, miners are hurting and are most likely closing their operations or stalling until they are able to get a higher dollar for their coin. Like some of you said, the supply and demand effect will kick in and trigger buying and a small price spike since less coin is available (minor panic buying). Also, the block difficulty will fall when miners quit mining (can be seen after last halving) which could create some turmoil among the mining community. Basically, it'll turn into survival of the fittest and whoever is able to hold out the longest will take advantage of the low block difficulty and generate all the coin. A cryptopoly if you will (excuse my terrible jokes). There's more to this theory such as Britain, Turkey, and Trump running for president, but I'll leave it at this so as not to clog up my thread any more than is needed. In other words, I stand by my prediction. I just made it too soon. There will be a significant price increase. Expect it.  ;)

I speculate bitcoin is ready to go down soon. This is a good time to take a short position in bitcoin because the people who bought at this price level thinking the halving will make it rise over $1000 will begin to slowly realize that it won't happen this year. The price has to go down for now and it is healthy. The price went up too fast and it isn't maintainable to stay in this current price level.

Chain reaction will take time to process, it won't happened that past because halving is done. You may expect to feel it after 3-4 months. The price might be good or bad. Still we don't  have any clue.

That seems to be a likely scenario. There is already 75% of all coins mined, enough to push the price down for a longer period.
Weak hands will join such a game sooner or later and that would mean a solid drop. I wouldn't be surprise to see a test of $500 support.

it would be really cool though the price is really unpredictable, i think that the price of the bitcoin is going to grow a lot in the near future but 20 per cent early seems to be too much

While I think there is still a good chance to see the price dive below the $600 level for a very short time, there is nothing that indicates a drop all the way down to test the $500 level. It would be a sad thing if it really happened.

Long-term bitcoin's price prediction is like trying to guess right numbers combination in the next Lotto draw.
You basically want to shout random number and cross your fingers that your theory will be right.
At this point in time, after halving we have rising tendency and almost zero negative news so it is safe to expect $1000 later this year.
Will it happen though, or maybe bitcoin is out of fuel to resume climbing?

If there is nothing bad about the bitcoin, the price will rise to around $900 by the end of the year. It could be $1200 in 12 months.

i think bitcoin will be rise up its price to 1300$ after halving so hold it if you want get a big profit , and it very good foe bitcoin holders .

I also want to know the reasons for the price dropping to 500 as I really don't see it dropping to that low.
Is it by any chance to test out SegWit? Because, only if there is any problem in the fundamentals of bitcoin ecosystem, we might expect huge fall. Otherwise bitcoin will remains so strong as always.

Well, I guess after halving the case, there has been no increase in price, even the price of bitcoin is very normal, but I believe soon bitcoin prices will rise, and hopefully the price according to your predictions. I want to believe that bitcoin prices could be higher than that, but it seems like now we just have to hope that at the price of $ 1,000 or more

Not so fast. Bitcoin strong as always? Well, people tend to have a very short memory.
Exactly one year ago, when we were in the $200 area, Bitcoin was also strong, right?
Since then we had two pumps, one in November and one just before the halving, but nothing fundamentally has changed to support the price that would be three times higher than last summer.
Now being fully honest try to answer the following questions:
Did many things changed in terms of adoption since the last year?
Did we have any other developments that would make the price jump higher?
Is mining the only factor that justifies the price of Bitcoin?

The halving in 2012 increased the price more than 50 times in a year. So this time, it could also increase the price.

Well, we have seen now that the halving had no direct influence in price, as I've always said.

The reduced mining supply can be a factor in strong bull markets, when supply is reduced. But in all other scenarios the impact is minimal. The yearly inflation of money supply has been reduced from 9% annual to about 4,5% annual. That would mean that Bitcoin could go up 4,5% per year now, compared to the past years. For a cryptocurrency that is a ridiculously low volatility, so I expect the impact to be minimal.

But at the other hand ... I think that cryptocurrencies are succeeding and are gaining more ground every year. So I'm bullish long term ;D

It is not harder that the price of bitcoin will reach to $1000, we only need to promote bitcoin to everywhere around us as with that the demand of bitcoin will increase more higher with the more adoption of bitcoin and so with the constant supply the price of bitcoin will increase much higher within shortest time period.

I see that after halving price will be about 1000$ per bitcoin coin and then it will be couple of months that price and then again half and then again big price grow.

That is my point, too. Halving may be used as an excuse for a pump, but indeed has no real influence on the price. After this halving 75% of all coins are already mined, with only 25% to be mined. That means that the coins that are already in use can be used to push the price deliberately down, and we will have no means to defend from that. Now having said that, I think the we may see a brief and even deep pull back, but I am also bullish long-term.

I think 6 to 12 months after the halving, the bitcoin price could be between $1000 to $2000 or a bit higher.

the halving has already passed and the price did not jump that much, im starting to be a little bit skeptic about it though i still have small hopes that the price will grow

There is no need to worry about the price jump. It might happen 6 to 12 months after the halving, like in 2013.

Well, after halving my price prediction will still remain up to $1,000 even with what is happening right now, I know the price are falling back but still my faith with bitcoin is intact, I cannot sell and I have no choice but hold because I don't want to be on the losing side of my investment.

I think that after halvin price per bitcoin piece will be about 1000$ in the end of this 2017 year and i wish that price to happent because it will give me more profit from one site.

The halving happened already and the price dropped to about 600$ nowadays. I think we have to wait some other months to see the price rise again and reach the 1000$ as expected

When price reach about 1000$ it will be more profitable to use dice stes with faucet.Most sites will not decrease own faucet size so like example i am earning now 0.001 btc per day only from faucet so that is about 0.6$ and when price reach 1000$ i will earn about 1$ but many investent sites allow minimum investment 1$ so it is very good price for me.

For now its hard to decide for me to either to sell or holding it tightly.. the price is decreasing daily.. o you think the price of bitcoin right now will decrease more and the price of bitcoin will hit below 600 value. if yes its time to sell right now and buy soon?

well the halving has already passed, i think that if we will wait for a couple of months we might achieve such price though anything is possible, it might be dumped down too

The bitcoin price has been dumped down now. It has dropped over $100 in the last two months already.
