Hey!

Will there be another dip before new year or around the first week of Jan? Last year there was a correction but i am still not sure. I have around $ 8K i want to invest in Btc & ethereum. Any leads would be nice.

ETH is a much safer option because the miners earn "Gas" by hosting services they call contracts
instead of just revving the car engine without putting the car in gear and calling it PoW

I know this would mean missing out on the Segwit fork but i guess you are a bit late to get
the bonus payment but we are really talking about silly money now in transactions costs
and you should fear being "Locked-in" by the greedy miners

The ICO i wanted to get involved with got sold out in a mere 22 seconds so little
boys like me and you are only being left with the bones the bankers throw us from
time to time anyway

No one can predict that. BTC had already dipped to 12K before the Christmas and now back to 16K again and is still going up. For me I still expect another dip before new year or after the new year but I think it would not reach the 12k mark again, maybe around 14-15K if a dip will happen.

Just invest that money now.. do not wait for a new dip, it is probably not going to happen, the next year starts in less than five days from now. And we already had two dips during this week.
So no, do not wait anymore, just buy.

Why don't you do half half and make sure to.. cash out when the profit reaches 100$ or something ?
Any long term investment won't do any good

Because right now everyone is unsure about the dip thing it might happen and it might not..

Thus the safest option is to go ahead and invest in both is what I think because ETC isn't foolproof plan too..it's ass good as bitcoins.

ethereum Investment is safe as compare to bitcoins , this christmas Bitcoin price already dipped to 12000 usd dollar but ethereum is still rissing from last 15 days from 350$ to 750$ , predictors saying it may go upto 1000$ at first target then it will dip again ... so you can invest in ethereum from my suggestion..  

Invest that amount so you can afford , all the investments are at risk , do not blame someone if you lost the money while trading , if you are new Trader you must invest small amount to check where it dumps and where it pumps thats call trading.

Another coin Ripple also good its still rising

I doubt that there will be dip on New year holidays. Maybe later, but not a big one. May drop back to $12k, not less. I also think that once bitcoin will drop back to $7k, but it's not gonna be soon though.

I dont think it will be dip before new year or first week of january because for me it is hard to know. If you have a lot of money  it is better to invest right now in Ethereum because it will be a great value in the future that will give you a big profits.

the risks of investing in ETH is so much higher than bitcoin because of the unsure future of it.

as for bitcoin dip, it is possible but don't expect anything big under normal circumstances. that won't happen. the chances of rising bigger are more than anything else.
right now you can see price is starting to be pretty volatile again and has a tendency to rise high and reach the previous high levels.

I guess you can buy some cheap altcoins at the moment. or perhaps eth is the primary choice in altcoin investment. it all depends on your choice, the most important is. Learn and monitor before you invest.

How are we supposed to know what's gonna happen in the future?
I think you're better off buying right now than waiting 4 more days for something that might or might not happen . Remember the saying "invest only what you can afford to loose", with this is in mind you'll have nothing to worry about, just think about how you're going difersify your portfolio (50/50 or 60/40). Don't waste any more time, just go and buy your cryptos.

Try investing 70 percent of your capital in ethereum, and 30 percent in bitcoin. The trend of ethereum is more stabalize than bitcoin so it is much safer if you invest more in ethereum.

I'm sure 90% of that will be a correction, and new upsurge of the course will appear after the first week of January. This happens regularly, and this is quite logical. If I were you, I would buy a crypto currency at a time against the background of the fall before the new year.

Yeah, correct. It is a good idea. Try to diversify for a while a wait for another dip. Wasting time by waiting for another dip means losing a potential to earn more.

Well since its expected that after segwit2x, btc will again pump to ath, expect another correction to rinse weak hands from it. But before new year? I doubt. It would probably be mid january. Though it would probably be wise not to wait for a dip since the dip may still be mlre expensive that btc's current price

But Bitcoin has unpredictable but its not going very low or 0 because it has a cost or big cost of price.

maybe there is another dip before new year, big whales will sold their bitcoin to spend for the new year party you know, just like me I want to sold my bitcoin for the new year. Let see if there is another dip in bitcoin then you invest in bitcoin.

This is difficult to say.
Just a thing to consider: There is a Segwit2x revamp just around the corner. It is scheduled for tomorrow. As it is a different team with a different road up, there is a lot discussion about it. The media coverage about the new fork is not as big as in November. Hence, I am not sure, how much this will influence the price before and after the fork.

i still see the price fluctuating a lot nowadays and i guess there will be another dip before new year.
Christmas vacation were always like this for BTC, price dropped and then recovered in a month, consider it a black friday and if you can, invest while the price is low.
I don't think we will see some more dpis during 2018 1Q.

It will crash after the Segwit2X hard fork

I'm not sure Bitcoin will go south any time soon. It's done so twice this week already and I'm sure that's it fr the year. I do not expect another dip in this year and not even in early January.

Who knows, bitcoins prices are quite unpredictable, it may even go up and stay there for all we know. I do think the recent dip was just because of a correction and which has caused it to drop due to the super fast climb it did. It could possibly be going up again as it has already done a correction and this is the bounce back as a result of the recent dip. Maybe the next one would be indeed by January but not sure if it would be early January.

if we assume that people are buying because of this " Hard Fork, Take Two: SegWit2x Will Return Dec. 28, Says Founder (https://cointelegraph.com/news/hard-fork-take-two-segwit2x-will-return-dec-28-says-founder)" event, then there are chances of the price dropping to $13500 in the first days of January, this could be your chance to buy. I'm making an assumption, so do not take my assumption as a financial advice. Even some news sites that make a price forecast do not say why the price has risen again, but as I said... I am convinced that this price increase is due to the hard fork of December 28


I have this same opinion

I don't think there will be another dip before new year, it will just drop a little then up again so i think don't wait for the price to drop because you will just waste your time so you should buy now.

There is no literal way of knowing the process of Bitcoin Beforehand but if it is to dip, the best time investing would be them, the unpredictable roller coaster ride of Bitcoin may turn out to be a huge profit.

too many new comers are joining this cryptocurrencies camp recently. I think there may not be a dip but it is not likely to gain any momentum for a sharp rise in the coming period. may be you can wait for several months first to let the recent dusts settle first

Well last year, before Christmas there is a huge pump on bitcoin, however, we have a massive dump this Christmas season so I'm expecting a reversal coming 2018. There will be a continues rise, however, its very slow as what we have seen in the last 5 days or so. But then again, market is based on speculation, we can really say for certain what's going to be the trend.  We just need to be prepared as what goes on, we love to see bullish runs, but I don't see it happening. It will be a slow and painful process to see bitcoin hits $20K next year. We will get there eventual, just a little patience guys.

It is really difficult to predict the price in the long term. Just buy some now. If it goes lower, buy more and lower buyer more.

I think there won’t be any mega dip like the one you thinking. It already had many correction and that was enough for the bitcoin price adjustment. Now whatever you are seeing here is all the part of left over price process and new investment. This is kind of pure investment now and you can invest at this point before it’s too late. I mean the new year is closing hot and people will have new resolution for the new year, they might just put lot of money into it and thus price of the bitcoin may pump very hard. So just have look around the market and make right choice. :-)

With the next fork that will be given before the end of the year, we do not know how the market could act. Bitcoin dawned well today, increasing its price. I will take advantage of the low price of bitcoin to invest, but I would not know if it is going to have another sharp drop.

It seems that we will never see it below 13k again. Maybe close to that level but not below.

Until the New Year, even immediately after it is unlikely that bitcoin could drop substantially in its value. Therefore, you can invest in it without waiting until it goes down to buy it at a lower cost.
     As for Ethereum, it is even more profitable to buy than bitcoin. He now rises well in price and, apparently, will continue to grow. I would now invest half in bitcoin, half in Ethereum.

Who knows, just wait for the segwit before you invest because the price may go up or go down deeper. Its really hard to predict but its ok to be more safe, eth is a great alternative option when you are doubting about the price of bitcoin.

Unlikely that would mean the fork would have propped it up but as far as I can tell all the volume was normal and the price isn't artificially raised. That being said I wouldn't be surprised if there was a minor correction but certainly no crash incoming.

Bitcoin is starting to pump again and I dont thinl we will experience another yearrice dip. I think the value will play along to $15k - $16k until the end of the year. From my own point of view the price will be steady due to the corrections that happened in btc.

you have no reason for waiting for another dip before the new year. unless you consider the drop from $15k+ to $14k+ a dip in which case, you can expect this type of dip a lot in the following days as the market struggles to rise up and break the resistance.

but anything bigger than that will cause a lot of alarms go off where people who see the dip will buy it up and prevent the dip to become any big by their "buy support".

as for Segwit2x that some people said here, it has nothing to do with bitcoin price. it is another premined altcoin this time with 6,000,000 coins premined in a series of altcoins just like this with different names. there are at least 10 of them going on right now and there will be at least 50 more in the near future.

I feel you should have already invested in Bitcoins irrespective of the price, why you would have asked. As I post anytime today segwit2x would take place, had you got btc in your wallet you would have been able to claim free coins, then sell those coins and buy eth, this way you could have eth and Bitcoin, Bitcoin has a tendency to slow down during initial periods but it shall nevertheless shoot up, buy it and see if you can yet get free coins. Another option buy physical funded Bitcoins, you'll get Bitcoins, plus all the fork that has happened.

The price of BTC is really hard to predict. There are too many factors that will affect the price of BTC in a short period of time, but in the long run I think the price of BTC will continue to increase.

Experts say bitcoin will drop to $ 10,000, then it will fly up to 29,000. Then again, correction will follow, and again there will be an increase to 43,000. I think to buy at a price of 11,000 - 12,000 USD.

Not too difficult to predict mate prices are just recovering and in recovering phenomena this often happen don’t take it as dip and if you want to buy then this is time to buy because I don’t see any major fall coming in the way and millions of people are in bitcoin community and this time prices will shoot up to the good value to give a best start to the bitcoin to get into 2018 and I am sure profit time is coming ahead for all.

Ups and downs will keep happening and even after new year also it may happen for unlimited number of times. We are all having to options to ignore/make profits among these ups and downs.

1. Predict accurately by using many technical analysis and make use of lows and highs by buying and selling frequently.
2. Just hold for longer periods and you can easily skip all the hassles of a trader to make easy and huge profits.

Through out theclast month,i noticed bitcoin price falling down from ATH to $12,000 and then once again increasing to $15,000 and once again falling and regaibing.So i have found $12,000 to be a basecprice now for bitcoin.So,i would suggest you to buy bitcoin when price falls near $12,000.Festival time is also going to end now.So,there would be a huge demand for bitcoin.We could expect bitcoin price to once again reach its previous ATH of $20,000 within january 2018..

I would say that dropping back to $12k is a very big deal. That's not the case now and people are still talking about bitcoin's dip as it is 12% down.
Maybe we freak out when btc drops a bit just because the price is huge and it looks impressive when a couple of thousands of dollars go down. However, perhaps it is not right to consider such drop significant and in this sense the price is stable, even though it is now $12700. I looked through the news and there's no explanation of the current btc drop apart from general things like altcoins becoming more popular and people cashing out before holidays. I guess we have to wait and maybe we can see the price you predict till the end of this year.

until the end of the year left almost a day and I do not think that really bitcoins Can at this time rise high enough. I think that already New Year can be marked by new indicators of the price of Bitcoin. At least I believe in it and I hope. And for today we can be satisfied only with what is actually.

seems it is repeating that scenario.look at the chart, prices tend to fall down and not have the recovery would significantly
 It looks like the price will drop to $10 k in the next few days. Perhaps this is the right time for you to invest in bitcoin

That's the reality taking place with bitcoin. The price of bitcoin continues to fall without a recovery happening in between, upon the same users who have been with plans of investing could use it as an opportunity. Maybe this will be another year end dump causing a large scale growth in the upcoming days.
