where do you guys see the price? will it break 6k or will it back to 5200-5400$ and settle there for some time?

Price is rising into fork faster than most people expected so no easy way to know where
it will be before the fork date. There may be some profit taking related selling after the fork.

The way the price rose so quickly today and yesterday makes me think that $6k is totally possible before the fork.  Time will tell I guess 

This is possible that will reach to $6k before the hardfork. And, after the hard fork it will suddenly downfall, but who knows. Price value is fast moving to 5k these days and lets see what will happen during hard fork.

Absolutely, 6k is possible. From 5k to 5.8k within a day, wow. Whats to say it doesn't rally after hitting 6k aswel. I would have said no way before but look what happened this time  ??? ???

Im also rooting for BTC to reach 6K within this year or more. I also noticed that BTCUSD pairs are starting to enter on Major Forex Exchanges.

we can hope that the price is break 6k in this week because i think the trend is still increase but we can not expecting the price still goes up. maybe there will be any of correction price before reach 6k and the correction is not too deep because once its too deep then we need more time to see more than $5500 again. i hope that there is no bad news again that could makes bitcoin price is going to down.

I expect further highs. My technical analysis points to a soon capitulation of the current triangle, so something will happen in about 10 minutes, if it goes below $5580 we may dip for a while, if we stay above this price and we break the triangle upwards, I expect another pop to happen to a retest of the previous ATH.

Don't forget that the bullish pressure for the forks is still active until November 18th, then we will find out what the hell is going to happen after segwit2x, for now we will enjoy the ride upwards. Hopefully segwit2x crashes hard and we can go for $10000 short thereafter.

before hardfork ?
Bitcoin price should in the middle between our peak and our bottom,
for now we're not yet see this,because we're steadily increasing at the moment.
but if we're guessing it,i bet we should see it around $4800~5200 no more than that.
just look at our pump right now,
it's a bit too hard and forced in my opinion,usually if the price is pumped that hard,,
we should see a 'big' retrace later on

It is really hard to know at this stage what will happen before the fork. Most people are still holding some alts and pretty contemplating whether to drop them even for losses or not and I still believe there is going to be so much dump on most of them for bitcoin as it keeps getting closer.

The volume of btc on bittrex is increasing every single second and that my friend seems like something that is not ready to get back to a low value.

which hard fork is it you are talking about? ;)
the bitcoin gold one which is in about 10 days now, seems to have a positive effect on price and it is driving it high. although I believe it is not the only reason for this rally but also I say it has been a factor. and it will continue on this path and it is possible that we see the $6000 be touched.

the bitcoin SegWit2x fork is a different beast. I think it can have the reverse effect. as in causing a drop like the bitcoin cash (or the UASF SegWit split threat) caused. if we can get over that successfully like before I don't see anything else in the future can cause a similar threat to bitcoin price.

It is okay with me, even if price will drop again in $5200-$5300. It is still a good amount of bitcoin. There is no problem since we all know that bitcoin will still remain and still increase even if it will drop into $5200-$5300. Just be patient and wait. Just look up to your future and not with your current income or savings.

It usually drops a bit right before the fork and rises after that. I wouldn't be surprised if we drop to less than $5000, but I expect to be at the $6000 mark, if not $7000, at the end of the year.

The last fork breaks the value of bitcoin and drop it, if that will going to be my basis I would bitcoin might drop during the fork but this not mean bitcoin will not be a good asset to hold the drop will only open opportunities for investment and surely bitcoin will continue to grow in the future

Could not agree more.  That spike was not due to the upcoming fork.  I explained in a post what the spike was due to... and also that it was good news for the "future" of Bitcoin, moving forward, not necessarily in the short term... although it obviously sparked confidence and the end result of that was inevitably an immediate spike in value.  But right now there is uncertainty.  Although I've seen the "poll" on the site I use to check the flow chart for the value of Bitcoins (coindesk).  There was a poll asking about the upcoming fork.  The choices were a) you thought the fork would be a good thing, and would be likely to actually invest more, b) you expected it to be a bad thing, and would invest less, and c) you haven't made up your mind yet and are sitting on the sidelines.  "a)" ended up being the overwhelming favorite.  But keep in mind the people answering these polls are people that have money invested in Bitcoin, and they're not giving objective answers, just trying to manipulate people for their own ends so they see that answer and follow suit.  In reality, the objective answer would be an overwhelming "c)"...  it's an unknown.  And honestly people would be best waiting on the sidelines.  Every time I see one of those polls the answers are ones that favor having confidence in Bitcoin, by a vast majority.  But it was even proven fallible when one day they asked a fake question about things that didn't actually exist.  It asked what you had the most confidence in, and named some type of Bitcoin & Etherum branches that didn't actually exist, along with the option "I never heard of either of these things"... which was the only true answer.  It came in dead last, with the non-existent Bitcoin branch of course coming in first by a wide margin.

I said when it got close to 6K it would hit a wall and probably go down to the low-mid 5000's shortly after.  And now it'll probably drop even further due to uncertainty, and honestly the best thing to do is probably to sit on the sidelines for a bit.  Or if you're a mover it would've been wise to get out when it neared 6K.  Or if it does again, even get to 5700 or so, if you're the type that moves your money around... I'm just keeping it real here and trying to look out for everybody, and above all be honest, even if it's not what you want to hear as I've said many times.  Not nearly enough people are doing this and it causes more harm than good in the end.  People end up with a false sense of security, which isn't a good thing.  It can cause them to lose money.

I also believe there's a good chance it will fall back below 5K again.  But in the long run things are looking much better know than they did even short week ago.  A lot of news recently suggests that BTC has lasting power, and isn't going anywhere.  But unfortunately in the very short term is may go somewhere we don't want it to go... back down.  But it will be temporary, until the smoke settles.

I'd say it'll get down to around 4700 or so pretty soon, then stabilize for a few days.  That will just be from the initial uncertainty period just before & during the fork.  Afterward expect another drop.  It could very well sit around 4K, just above or below.  As someone else said though this will only encourage new investors, and the ones that move their money around to re-invest too.  And thus it climbs again.  And by the end of the year it will be between 6-7K.  And I still believe that by the end of 2018 breaking the 5 digit barrier is a very real possibility.  So if you choose to hold for the long haul you're certainly not going to hurt yourself.  It's just that some people like to maximize their profits instead and move their money, try to get in & out at the right times, and I'm trying to be here for both of them.  I personally keep a certain amount in at all times, to stay, about 30% of my total BTC assets.  And move the other 70% based on empirical evidence/data, trends, and my gut... and it's tended to be right almost every time up to this point... unfortunately in this case.  I'd love to be wrong this time, but I don't suspect that I am and it appears I'm not alone.  When I came in here I lurked at first to see what other people thought as well... people whose info. I've learned to trust and who I believe to be objective, and generally they're saying the same thing.  Which makes me believe I'm on the right track that much more.

But again, fear not in the long term.  I don't want this post to be all doom & gloom.  It will rebound, and you can still all be rich some day, if you play your cards right.  But there's a better chance of that happening if you get your money in & out at the right times... just saying.  We have a network of knowledgeable, and above all else objective people in here that can help you make those decisions, if you know who to listen to... and not just the ones that tell you what you want to hear.  A clear-cut sign of this type is that they always tell you what you want to hear.  That's not reality.  News isn't always good.  Look for people that tell it both ways.  And people that have a good track record of accurate predictions.  Who knows, someone in here might even be getting inside information?...  you never know.  If you come across someone with an uncanny ability to say something and then see that come to fruition, latch on to them and follow suit when they say something.  I happen to have noticed 1 person in here like that actually.  Not saying they're an insider but when they talk, err... type, I listen.

Same wavelength buddy .As many are surprised by the sudden raise. The price fluctuates some how means, they all think the price of bitcoin will reduce Lower than a 4000$.The increase and decrease of price is quite common in bitcoin and in all digital currency.The price of bitcoin will reach 7000$ ,before the October end.

Bitcoin will not reach 6000 USD before the fork. It will be after the fork. There are more tendency that Bitcoin will crash as we approach the upcoming hardfork so reaching as high as 6k USD is a bit much. It might fall lower than 5000 USD since hardforks are never jokes to some. Some are afraid of it so that's why some do panic selling.

I think so.The price of Bitcoin today is around the value of 5600$.Only the 400$ to reach the target.Nearly 15 days is left for the October end you can check till the month end . Before that it will reach 6500$.If you have a doubt means,wait till the October 31.

To my opinion in the upcoming period the price will continue to rise and before fork we could reach even 6500$ to 7000$. After the fork a.minor dump is possible and very likely and the price could bounce back to 5000$ but I don't think this will last for long, maybe a week or two and then the price will start to pump again. But surprises are always possible, so we mustn't exclude that too.

The problem is once people realize that there could be a dump after the fork, they will try to preempt it by dumping before the fork. So some time before the fork (may be 10 days), there will be a reversal. Since the fork is a known event, there shouldn't be too much variation in price around that time.

Bitcoin will not break the 6000 dollar wall, not before the upcoming fork. I think that Bitcoin will go lower than 5000 USD as we approach closer to the schedule of the hard fork. This is inevitable since whales might trigger panic selling, FUDs are everywhere. However, the downtrend will not last long since Bitcoin can recover easily from those kind of dump. $6k is the next destination until the end of this year.

I'm not that really good in speculating the price of bitcoin but my guess that it's possible that it will pass to $6,000 before the hard fork but it isn't going to happen before, possible that it will happen after the hard fork. There will be a lot of bitcoin gold exporters that will eventually sell it since it's a free money so that means that they really don't expecting something for bitcoin gold.

---

I'm not hoping for $7,000 but if that happens then it's a better speculation and this will make it to $10,000 before this year ends.

Commonly before hardfork bitcoin value were increasing trends, but this time it's hard for us to determine or speculate the movement of bitcoin in the market. Maybe it will raised up too much or fall down very fast. We never know what happen this time. But we hoping that segwit happen have gain a good results to the crypto currency community.

To me i think that there will be such special effect on the price of bitcoin due to hardfork that is going to happen on 25 October, i think that bitcoin price will continue its price increasing and hope that very soon may be before the hard fork the price of bitcoin will cross 6000$, and even after hard fork we can expect that the price of bitcoin will continue increasing and hopefully that at the end of 2017 bitcoin price will be trading above

the same as my opinion, this is already the fourth week of bitcoin rising trend, and I think there will be no increase again.
Next there will be a correction, as you say, the price will stabilize at the midpoint between the peak and bottom prices. I thouht This will continue until november.

Agreed.  And the threat looms even larger now because in light of the past 2 days I see a general change in philosophy.  More people are moving away from holding for the long haul and moving their money around, trying to get in & out at the right times, and maximizing their profits.  This will piggy-back onto the backs of the panic sellers and create changes from now on more pronounced than before, both in times of decline but also in times of optimism. 

Perhaps this general change in philosophy started longer ago actually.  Some (albeit very) good news was reported several days ago, and I expected it to have a positive affect on the "future" of BTC, and inevitably also spark an immediate rise in value as well... but I never thought for a second it would jump as dramatically as it did.  More and more people are moving away from being content to hold their BTC through it all... all the ups & downs, and are moving their money in & out in an attempt to maximize their profits.  Especially those who were late to the party and don't have the luxury of having invested a large lump sum when the value was still in the 3 digits.  This is their chance to get rich too.  And who can blame them?  This will cause even more volatility and make the downs even more drastic than usual.  But as we've seen evidence of, can also makes the up's even more impressive than expected as well.  A double edged sword.  But right now, as in the short term I can see it having an adverse affect as the hard fork nears and passes.  They will after all follow the lemmings off the cliff.  However if the price does get down to a manageable point again and it invites new investors just watch them pile on as well and really send the value skyrocketing. 

too early to say this but i think it will break over 6K and will correct it's price below 6K. Settlement may happen after the fork i think, the price is still volatile and the uptrend is shown here and there but we will see the real price speculation next week when the forking is near.

I think it will have a higher price than it's current price now before fork happens. Since there is a high chance that people will buy more before fork happens, for sure it will increase in price more before fork happens. Also, there is a low chance of it dumping after all, if one dumped it too early, then he/she would not get free money from the upcoming fork that will happen in November.

Panic selling alarm will cause flash crash effect in markets. Crowd psychology will start panic selling and domino effect will destroy price gains from last weeks. After fork alts will go higher and btc will head down to 3500$ price level.

the price is not yet break the wall of $6000 and it will be down for a while and we can see now, the price is only going in that range. it seems the price is only up and down for $58xx to $56xx and then the price is increase again to $57xx. but if there is too many people become panic, then the price will be down too far and we are too difficult to increase again. i think we can wait for this week and we can only hope that soon we can break the wall so we can increase into $6000.

I noticed that the price seems to be in a roller coaster ride once we hit almost $6000 a few days ago. One hour you will see its going red, then the next minute the price goes to $5800 again. We all love to see to see the price break that elusive $6000 mark but then its the new mental barrier that has been set.

However, I assumed that as we get closer to the 25th of this month, that $6000 price will be breach and I'm seeing around $6200-$6300 before the split. More investors will pour their cash on the market just days or even hours before the actual split. We have seen this scenario last Aug 1 and I think we will see it again this Oct. 25.

The sudden price dump is just a trap and it's often happen in this kind of situation and I'm not surpised at all, it's exist to lure people to sell their bitcoin while the people with big money waiting to grab some of bitcoins.
The $6000 im pretty sure will be reached this month as you said but maybe we're struggling on $5800 level for a while just like when bitcoin hits $4800 and stagnant for a while.

As of now the price of bitcoin is already 5800 dollars and Im happy for that. And I hope the price will hit 6k dollars soon as possible so we can make a lot of profit in the future. But we dont kniw what actual happen in the bitcoin price in the next few days because fork is near. But I hope the price of bitcoin will increase more before and after fork. More bitcoin more money to come.

Yes it is increasing because everyone wants to chase the free coin from that hard fork. Just like what happened before the bitcoin cash hard fork everyone seems to be busy on purchasing bitcoin and just like what's happening this week, the hype is real for bitcoin because the price is even higher right now.

---

For those people that are very optimistic with the speculation of bitcoin's price for this year, well good luck to all of us the fork is near to come and is at hand.

Prices are increasing slowly and there is no sharp price bar on charts.Speculators usually buy when everyone is selling and other way. I know some guys who sold their long term altcoins and transferred their savings to bitcoin for getting free bitcoin gold. Let's see what will happen after fork.

This a bit risky caused by we are seeing about the hardfork as the short hype or Periode-hype. If this not caused by the hardfork and i think that the bitcoin should not go to the moon. I was expecting the more people will try to sell their bitcoin gold after the fork and comback for the bitcoin.
There will be no bullish after the fork just wanna see what will be happening with the bitcoin gold after the fork. Will it get big dump or not?

There's still few days to go, and I think that there's also many people who yet to join the train of bitcoin gold free money, it's really possible or probably more about to break the $6000 wall within few days supposedly.
Also, there's some minor price correction that happen but after that the pump will also occur.
As if from my speculation, the price is not going to back to $5400 or at that rate again, but will increase until the peak of the HF when the bitcoin gold distributed.

This is impossible to reach $6,000 plus because due to whales are there waiting for the price increase like we already seen in the past few days and the past month that  turn the price down because of a bad news and panic selling..
Hope this time those  whales will finish selling all their bitcoin into the market so that almost all are pure investors and we will see that the price of bitcoin could be increase more ..
And getting the benefits of bitcoin gold after the fork..

It is unpredictable to make concrete conclusions about market rates. Speculators will wait for fork and big whales are already going to exit from big positions. Bitcoin gold will be exciting after fork but this statement is not true for bitcoin itself.

Considering bitcoin price movement, it's more likely to reach $6K before next hard fork of bitcoin gold.
The new ATH is $5900, it will be easier to surpass it due to bitcoin development and acceptance across the world.
But maybe bitcoin hard fork is the most influenced news which encourage traders and investors to gamble with bitcoin price.
I wouldn't so proud of it due to bitcoin price will be fall down after reach new ATH instead of keep increasing over $7000 in this year.
But, nothing for sure in this market, we can speculate but if somehow a big country such as China or US ban bitcoin or exchanges, it will be like a dooms day for us.

It will continue rising until the fork, as people buy more Bitcoin to claim more forked coin. After the fork, there should be a small dump as people sell BTC back to fiat/alts. I'm looking forward to the next BTC correction, couldn't wait to hold more cheap Bitcoins.

I agree with you there is a tendency price will be dump after the hard fork. For now, it will continue to increase because of bitcoin gold. I am seeing same scenario before like bitcoin cash, this time users wants to get bitcoin gold so it will continue to rise.

Most people have already a hard experiences on the situations Iike this especially if this is already happen before and going to happen again for the second time therefore i believed there is no major panic will going to occur and most of the bitcoin holders will hoard therefore the market value will continue to increase more than $6000.

Panic situation begins once the specific events come to the discussion. Here, though people come up with positive hope the reality is completely unpredictable. With bitcoin cash the price increased tremendously once after the splitting, but the same didn't sustain long making path for a much larger capital market. With the upcoming fork too, the same might take place.

Bitcoin's price would probably break 6000 USD and will make a new record before the airdrop,  one factor affecting this is the 2 forks on the way, since we already seen what had happened last August, more and more people will keep on buying Bitcoin in order to hodl, and have extra cash, however for Bitcoin gold, I see a dumping, since there is another fork on November and people would want to gain advantage. Considering the fact as well that there are new Bitcoin users that entered, because offree publicity done by those who bad mouths Bitcoin. I think hours before the the airdrops we would see  the price of Bitcoin breaking a new level, and after that, bitcoin's price will have another correction and this time, the price will be much higher.

You are right with the bitcoingold., However, the segwit 2x is just going to be another positive one once all the users understand that 2x cannot fly. Segwit2x is just another attack on bitcoin core which from enlightenment, lots of support is already dropping for it.

Users are beginning to understand the miners are only trying to use this as a way to gain control and relieving the power from users.

As it is now, we are the power and I am sure no reasonable person wants to leave there investments in the hands of some so called greedy miners or companies, more like clamoring for centralization when we already have the sweet decentralization going on.

The upcoming fork is expected to make an positive price increase, but none has the perfect answer for the same. Today the price of bitcoin cash keeps on moving forward while the majority of the altcoins along with bitcoin continues to drop in value. This can be considered as an initiation for the upcoming fork price pumping.

The chances of that happening is very possible. The market is normal a bit now and still dwindling between 5500 to 5700.

However, just some days before the fork, there is every possibility that there would be another huge blood bath for the alts and then we will end up seeing some huge strange movement again for bitcoin to the moon.

Your values may be correct, since that is the reason we call it speculations anyway.

In my opinion if I see from the price movements in recent days, Before fork I think the price is not going to be far at the $5300 and above that, and also probably will more stay above that number till almost reach $6000.

As we saw in early August, bitcoin is split into two, or it can be said to be a bitcoin split, before a hard fork occurs most of the altcoin value has decreased in price which could make digital currency users panic. They fear the price of bitcoin or other altcoin has decreased drastically so they sell all the coins they have so as not to feel the loss or lose its value in large quantities.But after the bitcoin split occurs, the value of digital currency jumps again. Therefore, the preparation we must face from now do not panic because there will be hard forks, must remain confident with what is done by the bitcoin developers, after all can be passed the value of digital currencies may be able to experience a higher price increase

I can't understand why people constantly appear to panic when the price of bitcoin falls after a rapid growth. Honestly I do not understand why now the price is reduced. My reasons price had to go up. But I don't mind because it still happens. My bitcoins are on hold for a very long time. If I don't make now I'm going to get next year.

It will hover around $5500-6000 by next week. It is already back to $5500 after the dip from yesterday. It will break $6000 by November and continue to increase little by little till the year ends. The fork will not affect bitcoin that much.

I also think that this may be the case before the upcoming fork. People are actually already starting to get worried or may panic, so a lot may sell and dump. Just like in the last hard fork, I expect there to be a price decrease. Since there will be a bitcoin gold fork happening this Oct. 25, some may dump it just before the hard fork on November. I hope that the price will not go lower than $5000.

After the fork, the price may shoot up again and it is quite possible for it to reach $6000.

I think they are just afraid to be lose that is why they are selling too early their bitcoin because expect that the price of bitcoin is already touch in $5800 and they they are also afraid after the fork we will see a huge price drop.. so before its happen  they are sold their bitcoin early..
To get the benefits of the price increase these days.. and also to have other people to have chance to buy bitcoins too to have free bitcoin gold in low price..
In november i believe that we will see changes that we can see huge price increase around november and december not connected in fork but i think we will see huge price increase these following month and december the same movement happen last year.

I wouldn't be too fast about speculating about price in November, things are very unpredictable in that regard in my opinion. the fork which is going to be in November is the SegWit2x fork and that is a serious one and not at all like the bitcoin gold premined altcoin thing.
and because of that it can have much more significant effects on the market. the fear of splitting bitcoin is always something that can cause turbulence.

We are same thinking, I believe that bitcoin value were reach $6000 before or after hardfork. Because this coming segwit I know that it can't largely affect the movement of bitcoin in the market. If necessarily that bitcoin value will affected I know that time come past they can easily recovered it. Moreover bitcoin are so large now they can easily handle the damages happen in crypto currency community.

Everyone wants the bitcoin to move up after the fork this October. But its hard to make a speculation like that, since we all know that the price of bitcoin this fast few day is already moving down. Bitcoin price is very volatile, its hard to predict because its change from time to time.

Probably it will be less than $6,000 because i believed more people would sell their bitcoin to ensure the safety of their invested capital but i also believed that the value will rise up again after the fork because once the price will become lower again it will be an opportunity to buy it again at the cheapest price.

   I know that bitcoin price will increase, but can we still speak about "cheap" bitcoin when its price is count in thousands of USD ?

To be honest, I don't think that this fork is as divisive as some present it to be. Support for 2x has been withdrawn form most of the major parties that initially supported it. It's not going to have an exclusivity over mining hashrate but we might see another token created. Perhaps a short lived one too.

I don't think so my speculation the price of Bitcoin before hard from will be below 6k because bitcoin on the previous day bitcoin fluctuating between the price of 5400 and 5200.

But the hype is still there and people still want to get these free tokens out of holding bitcoin, and that bitcoin holders is the reason of why the price pumping so hard.
my opinion is that, so many people tend to wait until the HF ends and then selling it but still receive bitcoin gold than selling right now and missed the opportunity of earning bitcoin gold.
even if the major suport to segwit2x have withdrawn from major parties.

I expect some volatility but not as much as when the bitcoin cash fork happened. The bitcoin price seems to recover incredibly fast these days to every bad news it faces. It seems the trust in the coin is increasing, so every time the price crashes a bit, most people see it as an opportunity to buy it cheap. So I do expect the price to go down a bit, but I expect a fast recovery right after it happens, and most people wont even notice it.
Once that happens, it will again signal strength to investors, and the price should continue to rise.

I'll wait for new HF end yes The price increases before the HF most likely people want to receive btcGOLD and yes increased purchases caused by people who want to get it for free,I agree what you mean but increased purchases could also be due to market ordering high.The higher BTC price if one day this fall will hurt,I think BTC prices will also go up before HF ;)

I really do not know and dont want to assume.
A lot could happen even just for a day. Too many FUD could come out that could also make the price go down. Maybe it will be a lot better than what happened with Bitcoin Cash cause we all know what could happen and we are ready.

I am waiting a price drop after hard fork. People will start to sell bitcoin and buy altcoins.
But i am not expecting a panic sell or any other reasons.

Of course, the price of Bitcoin is raising up now, I have checked the current price of Bitcoin has higher than $5,800 again and maybe, in this turn, it breakout $6,000 is possible. But be careful when the price of Bitcoin breakout this resistance price, we have not any support after breakout to new AHT.

it is rise more than 6,000$ and push up more so that i think it may be 6,500$

the price of bitcoin will still continue rise, however we might see a lesser volatile bitcoin at this time, since there will be 2 upcoming forks, investors will still hodl up to november, in order t gain more profits, however there might still be a lot of people who are new to bitcoin, and will just do profit taking when the airdrop comes. as of now, there are a lot of good news that are coming in, we might see a the price of bitcoin going over 6500 usd before the aridrop, considering it is just  a few left and people are all waiting for bitcoin gold, i think after the october 25th the price will go down, eventually and will rise up again by november for the segwit, there will still be a lot of negative news that will come about after the two forks and hopefully, even the new investors will realize that they should not panic, since this seems o be a trend, when you check on last august's fork, the price had breached 5000 usd and then fall back, this time may not be an exception, we all just need to verify the news, where is i coming from and do a little research so we can plan ahead, in the event the FUDs are real.
