Bitcoin Forum

There seem to often be a reason why certain coins go up or down. Here are 3 brief examples:
-The recent relation between Bitcoin Cash's up and the announcement of Coinbase's integration.
-In an article on ccn is mentioned: "The IOTA price, on the other hand, surged 36 percent on the news that Robert Bosch Venture Capital (RBVC) had made a strategic investment in IOTA tokens."
-Also, around the 12th of december Ripple started to rise for days and at that time it could have been predicted because of what was put out in the media.

It seems that on ccn all this information is put after or while it happens. Why does ccn not write an article as soon as the article of Coinbase's integration is put out ?

Can we give each other some tips on how we can stay up to date so that we can invest accordingly and not after (when it's too late) or while (when it's still good but not amazing)?

Any input is appreciated.

No one thought that bitcoin cash was going to be pumped again, this is the same game that Roger Ver and his friends have been playing since november.
Dont be scared of that, bitcoin is going to go down again, but in the end it will go up again, so dont need to worry about.

It is impossible to try and predict the market and that is because their are soo many participants and tons of them are irrational investors. Therefore it is wise to watch that whale money and how they operate, it will give you a better indication of where to go but it is contrarian way to watch markets and it may be counter intuitive at first.

You can't predict, because the market are made by people.... There are no pattern... Is always gambling...

Could be one of the reason.
I just visited my twitter minutes ago then go to search and browsed down at the cryptocurrency pages or news.
I saw 3 many times. Coinbase, bitcoin cash news and Ripple.
They have been there updating people always and with the tweets they make it includes some crypto currency.
So it is like it will be an easy publicity for one crypto to side with them.

The link between Bitcoin cash rise and Bitcoin fall has been happening for a while. But what is missing here is that bitcoin gold also reacts in same way even though there is no mention of Bitcoin gold.

Regarding IOTA, it is due to their good marketing which is the reason for the rise. I haven't been following ripple though, so can't comment on that.

If it gets pumped how much time do you have to react and buy some ?

There is no secret receipe to predict the market. You can make different analysis, read the predictions and behaviours in the future but at the end this is all just guessing. That doesn't mean you don't have to monitor the situation on the market and collect information but don't rely too much on that.
But it's interesting how many are unhappy with the current price complaining why bitcoin price hasn't already exceeded 20000$ and saying bitcoin cash has the better future but they forget that not so long time ago the bitcoin price was below 10000$.

I believe it is possible to predict the market with some accuracy. Watching the whale money doesn't that already add to some of the accuracy of your prediction.
Can you tell me more about this ? How can I watch the "whale money" ?

But if Coinbase posts on their blog: "We’re excited to announce that customers will be able to buy, sell, send and receive Bitcoin Cash on Coinbase."

Doesnt that mean that it is very very likely that BCH will spike up as more will buy hearing about that news ?

You are definitely on the right path by watching the news. You just watch reliable resources and the information they are putting out. You also need to be watching closely so that when a story does come out about a coin you can jump in it while it rises. Then sell out once the hype dies down and keep your profit.

A) Please note that every trader/investor would like to have the ability to predict the market...
B) There are essentially two kind of analysis, fundamental and technical. Someone use volume analysis too.

But if you need this kind of explanation, I'd advice you to study much more before enter the market...

If there is a pattern - there is a predictor.

If the pattern is in the price history you can use technical analysis or advanced machine learning algorithms to predict it to some degree of accuracy. You must have a clear visual of the historical data in order to discover the patterns.

You also need to have a trading strategy - what are your buy and sell signals? what is your risk capacity? how much funds are you ready to lose in each transaction?

If the pattern is in the web buzz (news and social viral stories) then you can also collect them from the web and aggregate them as indicators that you can combine with the classical technical analysis indicators to generate more reliable signals.
 

How can it always be gambling if some people are capable of making money on it constantly?

You are definitely on the right path by watching the news. You just watch reliable resources and the information they are putting out.

What kind of reliable sources ? The thing is they usually put out the info after or while it's happening ?
Maybe subscribing myself to all major exchanges' blog/site/twitter/.. I only need the info that will affect the price.
I'v seen that when it goes up fast it always goes down at some point quite fast too.

haha, do you know information is money? Sharks and Whales earn money based on buying information. How can they let you know? I think we can not do anything unless we have much money to buy information

Market prediction depends on facts and statistics what was in the past. And then marketing specialist s decide will it work nowadays, or nearest future.

There is no golden rules in crypto world. Technical analysis are no working here like they are in FIAT trading The only thing you have is doing your own research and try to invest for a long term. Following coin news, social media and crypto news is very important in order to determine good entry poins

Predict the market is about trying to predict how the crowd will react to a given event and which direction it will take ... of course when an event reach the news broadcast a lot of trade action already happened ... when you look at all those technical analysis charts you are in fact give an interpretation to a poll ... interpretations in the middle of the chart are easy ... the most closer you get to the edge ...harder it becomes ...

Insider information - most of these things can't be predicted and the only way people profit of of them is because they have insider information. So unless you know someone to leak information to you and break the law then there's nothing you can do a lot of the time.

One needs to read news. They play an important role.

i think fundamentally good news and bad news have positive and negative effects on prices respectively.From my personal experience and just like you illustrated,that is mostly the case.For now the price of litecoin is likely to dip because of the news that charlie has or intends selling off the litecoins he has.So basically just keep your ears on the ground for any news and act on it.

Do your own research and read news. Anticipate changes and use logical analysis by predicting how the majority will react to certain changes. By doing so, you will be able to keep track of coin activities and know which one is about to pump or dump. Read discussions here.

Thank you all for your replies! I can conclude that watching the news does help. So here is my next question if it doesn’t get some replies maybe I will start a new post.

Where can I have live up to date information about what’s happening ?
Twitter ? I subscribe myself to all those who are linked to coins such as the founders ? Who else ? What sites get very fast accurate information ? The blogs of all exchange sites ? How can I know when and while it is happening and not after ? Is there a way to get info on rumors , how do these spread ?

not with a prediction or an other analaisa and if we talk about the current crypto price prediction I think the right answer is that the crypto price fluctuations will never be stable until whenever it means predictions or an analysis will not be a measure for us to determine about Which coin is best for investing. I think it's not just a prediction or analysis that needs to be done but better yet what should be done is to keep track of market movements with a continuous focus as market movements will continue to change on a daily basis. we do not know there are so many investors who go in for a crypto investment every day and there are also many investors who will make large profits. so that's what can cause the price of crypto is so volatile and can not be predicted.

There is no way you can go all right with your prediction but atleast can have fair idea of what can happen.Prediction can be done by proper information.You need to collect information regarding following points,
1)Trends:-You need to be clear about what had happen in whole day infact in last whole week regarding prices of your coin.
2)Limit:-Find the last limit of you coin both maximum limit that means maximum price that has ever attain and minimum too with date.
3)News and Announcement:-Follow all the news and announcement because most of time these announcements are responsible for drastic change.
  With all this you can predict to what can happen and can be ready for future.

Monitoring the market and understanding the information will help a lot in order to analyze the behavior of market in the future and also help to predict the price of each coin. Reading articles will help us a lot to be aware what’s happening in the crypto world but its disadvantage is that some of news/articles was all predictions. As the matter of fact, no one ever knows what will really happen.

All I know now is that it seems like a great opportunity to buy again. I have been waiting for this.

if bitcoin prices go up there is an issue or there is positive news about bitcoin for example there is a big company that will acquire or add bitcoin as its payment tool so that this positive news can push up the bitcoin price even higher, but if there is negative news about bitcoin, the case of bitcoin closure in a country can cause bitcoin prices to drop and very cheap and the moment can be utilized to buy as much bitcoin as possible

actually to predict the market is a very difficult thing but there are ways that I think can be used to predict the market but this way takes a long time to because it analyzes the movement of price grapik on the market of course we must know all the information from the market itself

in fact no one can predict the price of coin in this market all depends on the developers of the coin that is owned, if the developers do cooperation with some companies and make the coin that is useful then it will make the coin price becomes very expensive.

Predicting is tricky. I would suggest to analyze market trends, future business plans , investment plans and growth strategies of the company you want to invest in. Even a small decision be it political, social can make a impact on the market and bring the value up or down. And I feel luck also plays some role.

you can't predict market, market is determined by the number of selling and buying
i have tips for you. this is my motto maybe you can use it "Buy the rumors, sell the news" that is, buy when there is a rumor that there will be good news .. and you can sell when rumors it has become news

and don't forget to find out what will be the news about the digital currency

Where should I start ? What sites ? What social media ?

Read papers, and keep yourself abreast with the latest. Of course, this presupposes your source is legit. Nevertheless, I, myself, do all the same but it is still a hard knock life when you are put in the real situation already. You are left to decide right there and then on what to do -- in our case, if we keep holding or sell given the heavily fluctuating value of Bitcoin. As you can see now, Bitcoin's price dropped significantly. Had I chosen to sell some of it when it was valued at around 19k, I could have realized the money I put into it and so much more. But then again, I chose to hold it. Now, I am down to the waiting game again. What I am saying is good data may be helpful but it can only do so much depending on circumstances that are way beyond our control.

Oh god that is impossible, how many times are you all going to post the same crap in here? Everybody knows that it is impossible to predict the price, not even the indicators are going to help you to do so.
Cryptos are purely based on speculations

"from your self" everyone gets what they want because they trying to figure out what they don't know

if you're looking out there, there's a lot of news websites about crypto world for example coindesk,crypto-news.net etc.

social media, You can get started with twitter, follow the official big market account.. follow the official account coin you invested
find out their progress ... when there's the latest news about one of the coins, quickly buy at the minimum price and take profits sufficiently


everyone learns from the bottom so they can go up .. keep learning you can be so upwards, everyone can be accustomed to

Day trading with crypo is very risky (its like gambling). It is impossible to  predict the market, especially crypto market . Investment works better.
All you can do is make own research and Based on research decide which coin has potential to grow.

There are patterns, so I would not say you won't see some patterns.
Nevertheless, there are sometimes, that little things can still affect the market from acting the way you would have imagined it to be. Like you said, the market is just full of people/traders trying to make profit and obviously some have upper hands than the others while some are always fast to make some quick calls, but with some little analysis, you can actually get the best of the market.

Hard to predict any of cryptocurrency to make higher than 90% opportunity going to be right.
Prediction is just the way how we think something but not in 100% right.
Only thing is good way just fundamental. Good news make good jump up.

No one really expected it and that was an obvious manipulated pump done by just some group of people and the worst part is that you just keep seeing FOMOs rushing into the game to cash out for profit. Coinbase stated that the whole thing was leaked and the idea was to silently introduce bitcoin cash but the whole thing turned to some people trying to get a lot of profit quickly from the whole thing.

The best way to predict the market is to have an insider info, like if we knew someone on IOTA and if they gave us the info of bosch it would be great. Otherwise we never can be 100% sure

Yup, I completely agree with your point of view. you have to have secret information or you have to be good at technical analysis. If not, you just sell and buy follow the whales.

There is so specific way and method on how to predict any cryptocurrencies  because its digital. But nevertheless, there are some investors whom investment matters , and most people believe that they are the ones manipulating cryptocurrency. Though, we can't still say for such if it is so. For you to perdict any market price for digital currency you need to be updated and watch out the recent posts of well known investors, for that coin.

If you want to predict the market then you should master how to do a technical analysis because that is what you need in order to have a good point of view in the market because the technical analysis will give you the signs that you need in order to predict if the market will go bearish or bullish.

Honestly, everyone of us could predict the behavior of the market but the question is, "Is your assumption will happen?". It's very hard to foresee the future, even how accurate your prediction, there still a probability that it will not happen.

So for you to have a greater chance to prove your prediction, here's a tip (I hope tbis helps): acquire all the informations you need, watch out the current news, relate it to each other and make an analysis.

There are no way to predict the crypto market. the trend depends the information so much. You have to know the info to predict the market.

I think there is no place from which can predict the exact market value of any coin. But scanning the market continuously will help you to predict yourself the market cap and value of a certain crypto. The investment and the use of crypto will tell us the future of that coin and we you can conclude by yourself where to go. All these sites which you mentioned are also predicting which may not correct.

It is impossible to predict cryptocurrency market without trading tools that scan snd analyze each and every coin. ALGORY.IO is set to provide this service for cryptocurrency trader. No trader should not miss ALGORY.IO token. It's ICO is on going!

It is very impossible and in as much as we feel we can even use some technical analysis to get some assumptions of what could happen, sometimes, they just will not work. Nevertheless, they are still close to the only thing that you can use to assume what can happen next but it is not that easy and you should best just know when to get out if the unexpected happens.

In my opinion on predicting the market, you should first study the chart or the history of its value . In that way, you can tell whether its price will go up or down. This will help you decide whether to buy or to sell.

Predicting the market is possible. You need to know how to read crypto charts. Read chart indicators like MACD, RSI, EMA, etc.. Another factor to predict market is by learning the latest news about the crypto you are holding. Good news always bring price increase, bad news, scam news turns price down.

That is right, it is really hard to predict the value of each coin, especially altcoins in the market, even the bitcoin nowadays is really hard predicting when it will rise again. Just continue guys to patronage bitcoin as it will rise again in the coming months or so.

Yeah focusing on market will guide us the right track for our investment in the future. If we talk about the product of big companies they survey from their users and make changes in their products to stay there in the market.

The same can be done here in crypto world but it is quite difficult because we may not know who the users of certain crypto are and what they feel about the future if that coin. By this way we can predict about the future of a certain coin and the investment decision will be easy for us.

From the items that you wrote, one thing that we can use to predict the market is fundamental.
If any big news and its remain good news, it will make the market jump up.

Just pick the winners with fundamentals and hold it bro.

That is right, it is hard to predict the market we need the history for us to learn about it, we need also experience and of course need to read about news and updates for us to know and can predict the value of the coin in the market. It is also important for us to learn and predict price on our own.

Listening to news on Crypto-Currency, new development on the coins etc

In order to predict the market there are many types of analysis available which can be master by deep studying and harder practising. I would like to tell you about technical analysis which is I am practising and using it personally from past few years. The best way to predict the crypto market or any other market is by following the trend trading principle's and try to practise the trading principles in all the three different types of trends like sideways,  uptrend, and downtrend. And then just practise few trading setups like candlestick patterns or moving average crossovers for entries and exits by this way you can master the art of prediction.

For such big news, the market is usually manipulated by the bigger players. If you do not have insider trading information, it is not easy to predict. As for smaller price increase, you can look out for coins roadmap and events and make small profit from there.

I've trying my best and monitor market in several times but failed to predict it, market is unpredictable with the way i look @ it

Every coin affect by the market demands, for example; some exchanges didn't list xrp a few weeks ago but after it pumped and reach $1, more exchanges listed xrp but before this happen to xrp market, some news regarding its development and acceptance in businesses and companies makes it happen.
So, two things that really affect the price of a coin are development and acceptance, even bitcoin cash suddenly increases due to bitcoin lose its value.
Why is bitcoin losing its value? Simply because bitcoin development which can't afford scale transactions and investors looking for an alternative coin to test it.

very easy to predict the market, you can just by looking at the existing graphics and do not forget to see the latest news from the coin that you are watching or that you want to buy. you can monitor all coins in the market at https://coinmarketcap.com/ .

   When you open CoinMarketCap.com you will see in the upper right corner:
-Cryptocurrencies: 1381 / Markets: 7442
   How to predict 7442 markets? It is impossible, you predict market by predicting
news that can affect some project, one project can be individual or it can be
connected with other projects. Their announcements can move the price up, or bad
news concerning their technical characteristics can move the price down.
   If you are really interested into something do more then a quick research, you need
to follow projects all the time.

I think the only way is to follow all gossips about trading. There are a lot of groups on Twitter and other sources where you can follow all the latest information and predictions.

Actually its hard to predict the market but they have groups who can say that a certain coin will pump at a percent. As we know market is always unpredictable. Yes twitter also can really help and you must be updated in any way.

you can predict the price of coin available in the market from the development of the coin and the total supply coin and the existing team, you also need to look at the travel plans of the coin that you will buy.

From your post I think you're fundamental trader/ investor, really good strategy to analyze market. But I'm just technical trader, only use number to make decision about my activity. Depend my experience, most people that use fundamental just like gambling and technical similar with school student. Until now, only experience is the best guide to analyze market, meaning you must keep practice and always fix your strategy. News ( speculation ) always changed without permission, stay up date is good but will wasting your time. Keep try to not lost faith about crypto and good luck to you.

Just read the news always just like the examples you gave, prices are moved mainly by good or bad news and it has been that way even with traditional stocks, I'm sure if you heard that Bill Gates bought facebook, you will hope for a rise in facebook shares on the stock market.same apllies with cryptocurrencies.

In the old days, we would make simple chart analysis for bitcoin and litecoin. But now, the market is driven by pure specuation, fud and rumors. This makes us not be able to predict about the market conditions.

It is impossible to predict the cryptoforeign exchange market without trade tools. Even skilled traders arent able to do it. ALGORY.IO this tool allows to make it! ALGORY.IO the excellent decision for trade!

Unless you want to be the first to hear the news, then there is just no way to predict what would happen next. This is a very volatile unpredictable word and even sometimes technical analysis can even fail you but it is all part of being in the system.

As long as you can use some indicators from TA, then you can at least suspect what could happen next, and if it does not, then the best is to just move on.

I think the only way to predict the market of some crypto coins is by using historical data of other coins and this could be done smartly by Artificial intelligence by projects like algory if we want to catch the right coins before its too late let us look into the ICOs team before and after they launch

Market prediction is possible when things are centralize but crypto currency everything is decentralize so it is very hard to predict with high rate of probability. but market prediction in crypto not that much accurate as centralize market.
but you can predict short termly if you have done research for particular token. because every has Road map so road map would help you to predict future of the ico. But for whole market it is impossible to predict because crypto is billions of dollars market.

Well, you have strick opinion. From yours i can say you have no trading thought, all you have is gambling.
However, each person has different opinion. For me trading is not gambling. If gambling we dont need news to move the price but in trading news is very important to move the chart. Thats one important different both of them.

No way. You will need to work with the market a lot of time before you can understand it. And when you understand, you start better to guess. But no one can predict.

You can predict the market for as long as you have the knowledge about it. Hard to predict if we will just rely about the trend, we need to consider a  lot of things just like the price history, the team behind that particular crypto, the whitepaper and more, it took time and experience before you will learn it.

I think that the market can not be predicted in any way. In theory, the market is effective and at every moment in time all information known to all market participants is included in the price. It turns out that if you are not an insider you can not predict the market in any way.

it is impossible. Buy yokens with technology and hold at least for a year. Thet u will be rewarded well

nobody can predict about market, but i follow some roles or a way 90% it was success, so no one can predict about market

We all know how to predict but no one knows if our prediction is always right. Some people can predict it right depending if they are aware what is happening to crypto world through reading an article or searching from the other sites that spread news about digital currency while other people predicts the price of the coin by monitoring and analyzing the movement of coin. In my opinion, it’s not easy to predict the prices of coins.

If you are very experienced and expert of this market. the prediction of this market is very tough because small change can bring a lot of changes so prediction is very tough for the new people as i have some knowledge of this market so the bitcoin price will rise more in the future. The altcoins are also growing the people interest regarding  altcoins are improving so investment is these is good.

Each one of us cannot predict the market on what happen next its all up in supply and demand. We better research hard and monitoring the flow of the prices so that we can trade or invest.

Almost all crypto money is due to price increase, demand increase. The demand increase actually signals that the historical data to capture these signals are useless. It is necessary to keep up with current developments and especially the official twitter channels.

Media plays a very big role on trading as speculation is what become a main driver or a supporting in driving the price up or down. It is what also creates scare for others or a catalyst for some. We must know that speculation is not the best thing to do while trading as it might fail you. If I were to use if speculation or price charts I would still pick price charts as Technical Analysis is much a better way in predicting the prices of something.

If you want to predict the market then you should invest a lot of your time in understand or learning the way of trading because it needs a lot of time like understanding the charting of the coins from different exchanges so you will be able to have a vision on the possible thing or scenario that may happen in the future with that coin.

True. This is where a lot of people based their decision to buy or not. If the news is good, then the prediction is it's going up then if it's bad it's going to fall that always happens because of people who panic easily.

Predicting the market does not give a 100% outcome. It is the dynamic nature of the market that keeps it in existence. If the market were to be predictable or if anybody were to have a first-hand information as to the direction the market will go, he/she will take the advantage to make a fortune from it. It can therefore be said that some factors can be used to analyze the market to know the trend.
