And how much could it go down? Any ideas? I bought myself a Bitcoin when it was around 2500 $ and I'm kinda angry at myself that I didn't buy another one.

Once the correction happens, will you guys buy more bitcoins?

How does it predict? What parameters are taken into account?

It’s difficult to predict. But I always keep an eye out for major sell offs on the exchanges and an increase in available volume, so I can at least get a leg up on possible fluctuations. But it’s now always an accurate way of telling the market changes due to unforeseen action in Asia.

There will be a correction before the end of this year but still the value of the bitcoin will remain above $5000. I may be wrong but this is what i think. Obviously, it will be a good opportunity to collect more bitcoins in case of correction.

Lol, it's the first day of the month after an already good month.

I'm betting the correction comes sooner rather then later, even though bitcoin itself ofcourse has already been hovering up an down a lot before it went to these new highs.

LOL. Why are you thinking of corrections now, why not enjoy the massive bull run that we are currently seeing? Well if you are thinking that the price could go to $2500 then you are wrong. You have the perfect opportunity before to get it while the price is "low" and once it hit $5000 then your investment should have been doubled by then.

To answer you question, of course correction is necessary so that like you, new investors can get it and buy back bitcoin. However, its really hard to predict when its gonna happen because the price is purely speculative. You just have to monitor how the price goes, and see if there are external factors (negative) that will highly impact the price to go down.

At least Goldman Sachs has predicted that after $ 4,800 we could expect a collapse at any time. Merrill Lynch predicted a price of $ 1,300 as the maximum top for bitcoin four years ago.

Therefore, as long as these rascals continue to predict collapses with such "accuracy", we can rest assured that bitcoin will continue to grow despite the bold efforts of these looters to cause fear and new crisis as they have done before.

That's anybodies guess. One would expect things to change if new information comes to the market, good or bad. Maybe another fork would make people nervous? Release of a desktop quantum computer?

Very hard to tell, I was expecting a corrected before it reached the 4500 mark.  I was thinking it could correct into the 3k's but no, so I think the fact it broke the 4500 mark it has momentum to continue a bit more.  It will be telling to see what happens the closer it gets to 5k, it may touch it and correct hard.  This is pure speculation though.

Why do you think there will be a correction? There is a very limited supply and high demand for Bitcoin. Earlier bitcoin varied more - but when big investors and ETF funds and wealth managers begin to take an interest in cryptocurrencies the price will probably increase dramatically. Also a growing number sees bitcoin as a safe-heaven instead of a weak dollar, euro, bonds or stocks.

As far as i have known to the people here and i have learned is that by the end of September the price correction will occur or maybe at November 1st. It depends because there might be an split again to happen this coming November as the news is keep on spreading. This is the best time to buy bitcoin and be sure to watch the price chart so you will not gonna lose the chance to buy. It's a good time to invest if you can buy bitcoin in a cheap price.  ;D

A correction happens days after a very noticeable increase happened. About 10% or above. It could go down until it reached the same level it was before it pumped or above that level (most cases). The correction happens fast and if you are not aware of it, you might lose your chance.

I would buy if I have some to spare. But unfortunately.

I think 5,000 because everyone is talking about 5k limit for more than a month, and expected to reach at the end of the year

When reaches 5k, IMO people will sell some part to have some money to buy on the dip or to protect the money (fiat)

I don't think it's possible to accurately predict the price of bitcoin and how it will change; bitcoin is, and will always will be, an experiment. It's a rather special sort of asset unlike any other, and I think we've yet to get a firm grasp on what makes it valuable.

Dunno why people would think that; not saying they're wrong, but I can't see any evidence leading to the fact that the ceiling before the crash would be around the 5k mark. There's also no reason to think people will suddenly dump at 5k either, that's pure speculation.

Correction will happen soon after the RSI on a three day BTC/USD chart goes over 90. Right now on Bitstamp 3d RSI is 79 so we still have a ways to go.

If Segwit2x goes wrong, you will see the price correction. Hopefully this will not influence bitcoin too much but it is a potential problem.

I think there will be no price correction and it will pump till september. Then when there is no much time left to hard fork happens, people will panic and it will dump again.

I think it is more like a panic selling rather than correction. The price correction and panic selling will occur when someone will sell a lot of bitcoin and if they will see a red bar on the chart then they will easily sell their bitcoins too because they don't want to get left behind and minimize their profit so as long as there is no manipulator in the market then the price correction will not occur.

Why you not want correction price of Bitcoin on market? You also understand Bitcoin always raise up recently, from earlier this year until today. In fact, you know this is bubble growth and can breakdown anytime, your wish cannot become to true, so you need ready with worst situation on market.

Bitcoin is not going down anytime soon. Even it was hovering around $300 there were serious fear that it could go lower, instead the bitcoin keep going higher. And now we are mainstream. There is no telling how higher it could go.

I think that it probably will happen later this month. We have already seen the price crash from $4950 to $4650, but it has rebounded which seem to me like a bullish indicator. However this does not mean it is not a bubble. I just think that the peak hasn't come yet.

It'll probably go up to near $6k, and then back to $5k, perhaps a little rebound but in the end to $4k or so and settle there.


It is september already, and it really could go either way. If the hard fork goes well then it could well make people even crazier.

Actually nobody knows if we are in a bubble or not.
All we know is that the price increased a lot in the past.
It is really hard to say what a fair price for one bitcoin would be. How would you even start to calculate that?
All we know is that people want to have it.
And there is as well the chance that bitcoin was undervalued all the time. Maybe still is.
