Bitcoin Forum

BTC Prices are steadily going up, from a low of $1858 to $2300+ at the moment. Any insight into whether it will dip again before the big day? With 60% already showing support for Segwit, a soft fork is almost certain. And with this information out in the world, I think the upward trend has begun. What do you guys think?

it is very hard to say. the FUD was defeated and people now know the reality of the fork so the price is rising.
there is still a couple of things that may change and go wrong so the risk has not gone away completely but this risk has always been there and nothing about it has changed. the exagerated FUD has just stopped.

which is why i say there may be some wild swings, not as big as before but still wild, in the future.

but i agree that the total trend will be UP

I want to invest more into bitcoins. Is this the right time to buy or should I wait a couple of days for the price to dip a bit...say about 2000$?

Pretty much no one knows dude. You're guess is just as good as ours. The price dipped already as low as $1900 days ago. Why didn't buy buy already at that price? Now you're waiting for a higher $2000. Anyway, you still might have a chance at the end of the week. I'm not saying that it's 100% gonna crash again though.

I was wrong to predict the price of BTC this week. I think BTC will drop to $ 1500. But BTC shows a significant strengthening today. And my estimate before Aug 1, BTC price will fall / rise about 4.7%.

The Drama was already over and the weak hands btc holder are now buying back again. I'm very on the people behind this FUD regarding the split. The hard fork is actually not a danger on BTC but it helps BTC network

If you don't know shit about what's going on then don't post and go spam in other thread.

A hardfork WILL crash the bitcoin price. The hardfork is not on august 1st, but on november. So if the segwit2x idiots still want to hardfork come november, the price will crash and you will see how hardforking bitcoin into 2 bitcoins is the dumbest shit ever.

The price is recovering because BIP91 will be activated avoiding BIP148 potential split, so now we will have peace until november, but mid-october-november or around these months we'll see a crash again if the idiots involved in the hardfork actually hardfork.

To my mind mostly no one wants to see bitcoin's price very low so I think not an instant rise or instant fall but maybe a stable price with a little rises and falls. Despite that fact, halfly I think that maybe we will see rise smoothly because it was like that in near past.
Again very hard to say because there is a high chanse that people will panic and that panic won't do good job. Hope people will see this segwit as a normal thing.

I assume everyone is aware that the future is unknowable. Asking for what others think has a value close to zero. It may even delude you into thinking you know something.

Well it is really hard to predict on what will happen for the next days to come. But in my opinion, bitcoin's value will depreciate during the last week of July and will rise again by mid August. That's just my prediction. Who knows what will happen during those weeks. But I sure hope my prediction is right because I'm gonna invest more in bitcoin when the deflation happens. That will be the best time to invest because I'm pretty certain that it will rise up to $2500-$2800 after August 1.

I think it is a foolishness to predict the rate of BTC in this situation. Anything can happen, the price may get back to 1500+ or it may reach back to 2500$ in 2 days again. The question we have to ask everyone is whether segwit will improve the adaptation of Bitcoin?? What will happen if there happens a split??

Short and utterly clear, that's how oldies (referring to your forum activity) do it. It's mind boggling how people jump on each other, and chain quote garbage after garbage. Noobs are easily tricked into believing something, especially if a large part of the forum is pushing them towards more uncertainties due to the gibberish they spread. Basically every board in this forum is infested with 1st of August threads collecting noobs spreading non information, from where even more noobs get brainwashed....

Nobody knows this. It's at 2300 right now, that's a rise from last time I saw it. I guess we all will find out as the day approaches.

Most likely on the exact date of 1st August it'll be a huge non event & the price won't swing violently either way.

Both? It's called volatility after all. It will go up and down. The one thing that you can be sure of is that it won't be a steady anything. If you want steady go for stocks or bonds. This is as volatile and unpredictable as it can get. If I were you I would not go for a medium term position right now. Either go for super long or go for short term trades.
After all is said and done Bitcoin will survive in some form so a long term bet is wise. On the other hand, if you can predict the market short term the volatility in the coming weeks will be excellent for some trading :)

If you analyzed it that way since you have some references to believe on that then stick with that idea then began to plan what should you do. No person here can exactly state what should happen while that day is approaching so it's a matter of self study on what things we must do.

After all this drama ends if you will asked me, eventually we can see more surprises on how far will bitcoin price can climb up so take the risk as we have reason to believe on this. It's all up to you to decide.

We can't predict exact market move for short period of 15 days or near it which you are asking about. However in overall after activation of segwit price should go upwards because it might solve long debated issue of blocksize and right now Fear of hardfork seems over...

That's absolutely true. However I can extrapolate from what has been happening recently and say that the most critical week for Bitcoin will be next week. I wouldn't be surprised if the price dips even more than $1800.
Scaremongering can be a very powerful thing!

I think we will see another dip as the 1st of August gets closer. People will begin to think twice and begin to dump their coins again. I hope so anyway, it will make a nice little pocket to buy up some BTC before people see nothig happened and the price goes back up.

I believe no one can give you a definite answer to that question as no one can predict what the future holds for the price of bitcoin except speculations. Little factors like this recent FUD can affect the price of bitcoin and some other factors as well, so as long as you don't know if there would be another FUD tomorrow, then we just keep watching to see what happens. Even no one can really predict what exactly will happen if there would possibly be any fork.

Anything can happen in short term, and this is why day trading is compared to gambling. Many people are very worried about the current price, which makes them prone to panic and even lose money if they sell lower than they've bought. This is why experienced investors look for the long term opportunities, they hold for years and almost always in profit, so the short term price moves don't bother them as much. So, the best advice for trading is to always stay calm and try to see the bigger picture.

The increase in Bitcoin's price is just a result of some people took the opportunity to buy more bitcoins because of the previous massive drop. Since we have more days left before the activation on August 1st, some are still on neutral mode and constantly monitoring the market for any possible phase changes. However, I believe that as the date comes closer and closer, Bitcoin's price will start to decline again. There are still afraid of the event because up until now, we are all uncertain of what will be the end result. As long as there is no flag raising that means "All are OK now" we will not see major breakthrough about the price of Bitcoin.

I think it will dip, but not because of FUD or panic. It will dip because people will move coins out of exchanges to their wallets for safe keeping. When there's less money on exchanges the walls get thinner, so even a small dump can drop the price by a lot. I'm sure some people will try to take advantage of this to manipulate the prices.

I am just glad the price finally recovers after a week of dropping. Whether the drama is over or majority is buying up after it fall below 2000, it is just good to see the price above 2000 again.

I think we can expect relative stability, people are obviously a bit euphoric that Segwit seems to be becoming likely now.

The price is prone to dip before the day of segwit, and that will be a good time to buy more of Bitcoin and wait for its increase in price.
So, waiting for a couple of days before buying will be okay.

yes that can be the reason otherwise currently people are not welling to sell their bitcoin, i am sure that they will hold their bitcoin, they want  hold bitcoin for a long time tell the price of bitcoin reach to the price of 5000$ or even more.

It's sure the price of Bitcoin will dip before the big day, and does who will buy will be in a good place , but after the segwit, the price of Bitcoin will increase high in the market.

The uptrend began earlier after bitcoin's price went lower than 1900 USD and it seems that bitcoin is a bit stabilizing now on its current price. However, we are still approaching August 1st, people still might tend to panic sell again and Bitcoin will going to drop again. As of now, we are still uncertain of what will happen specifically so some might be still afraid of what will happen. I believe that we will encounter a drop on the last week of July as we go closer to the day.

Steady rise from now on until August IMO.

There is no one who can predict accurately what will happen, bitcoin price is not something that can be foretold by any standard research.
Using standard technical indicators or market assessment method simply won't work. There are always couple possible scenarios waiting to happen.
In the case of a split, there is no need to worry, bitcoin simply will follow Ethereum steps and gradually rise over time.

Seriously....

There is always going to be a dip. There has been at least 4 dips today... more dipping tomorrow and plenty of dipping till Aug 1st... then more dipping throughout the year, decades, centuries.

Smoothly - haha.... where is the fun in that. You want smooth, stick your money in a bank.

I knew it would drop then go to just under $2300 and if you look at the price right now I was righ. Look at my previous post a made about it a few days before. Gosh I love being right. Now Bitcoin is going to maybe drop once more but it's going to rocket past $3000 and more then what it wioo stay at $3000 this time and slowly increase the next drop will be like to 2500 after rexhong a stable $3000 if there is one that is. People don't listen so they lost their money I made like %15 in a few day. I love dumpers they make me rich ^^

Nobody can really tell but the first signs of signalling seem to be positive. You never know what else might happen in between though. Maybe it's just Mcafee's dick bet pumping the price ;D

I think it will be smooth. Hopefully people have calmed down and realized the world isn't going to end and everything is going to be ok. People get afraid so easily. No wonder people make sgroies up to manipulate the market with all these people fearing everything.

It can't be predicted precisely whether there will be a dip in the prices of bitcoin or it will rise up more but that's something most of us have always failed to predict and predictions may go wrong but still I think that the prices of bitcoin are not going to drop at least this week. About August 1 only one thing can be said and that is let's wait and watch and hope for the best. :-)

Yeah no one can predict what will exactly happen in coming days it can go either higher or lower and only time can show us clear picture but now price is rising slowly so there are more chances that it will keep on moving in upward direction in coming days.

if the price is down, i think there will be massive buy order in market because people don't want missed to buy lower price. if the price is up, then people which have bitcoin is ready to sell to make profit. if i see in market, there are a few people still panic and confuse, where the price want to go but i am glad that the price is back into $2,xxx although its not too high yet.

No one knows if it is a continuous rise or there will be some pulling down before August 1.. But if its going to fall sown then that is going to be another buying time and taking advantage of buying cheaper coins. I will make myself pursue and believe that the price will rise very soon.

I anticipate a significant dip in the price, just before the event. Most people are taking the advice to remove their coins from services, where they do not have control over their private keys and that includes exchanges. So this will influence the trading volumes and the price will reflect that.

We have a rocky road to November and trading in this environment is going to be tricky. ^hmmmmmm^
