It would be a terrible thing if the Bitcoin pattern is the same as in 2013-2015, it could be the end of 2018 is only about 4000 $ -6000 $, as I think if it might happen?

Let's look at the pattern in 2013-2015 below:

and this is the pattern from 2016 to the present:

What if it really happened, give your opinion? :D

Anything could happen on the prices, it could either go up or go down a lot depending on the events that will take place this year. News and events are affecting market demand because people decide whether they will buy more or sell their holdings. Let's just see what 2018 has in store for bitcoin. I am still hoping that bitcoin will continue to grow more.

Its may be or may be not situation and to be frank the year just has started so I think its "too too" early to start our different speculation. There are many more things which are need to be winded up before the fresh start for the bitcoin can be made. The Chinese year, different bans and forks and most important financial year end!

Lets give us ourselves some time to overcome that period first and then we might just jump in for different speculations.

Plus the year 2013-2015 can not be compared with the current one as many things have changed since hone. The popularity ratio is different too. So lets juts wait and watch.

Absolutely, and it will be!

You are not a newbie I think no need to explain the bitcoin usages and how much out reached it already got. In 2k13 you noticed the bitcoin dumped after heavy bump for just others just invested fund and bought. After that circulation drastically falls in the chart but this time huge number of people invested on bitcoin and many competitor altcoins also in the market. There is no chance to see the same situation again.

Can't see why on the world you will based the "pattern" of 2013-2015 for what will be the situation for 2016-present.

Although literally that no one knows what will happened, it's kind of a non reasonable to think as of now that we will land going back to minimum $4,000 so that it will be identical on the past charts. Patterns are just patterns but the main thing to know is, why it was happened?

Always remember that past performance can't always guarantee future results.

For now, let's just watch how price will behave this upcoming days, weeks, months etc. Still long way to think of what will be the bitcoin price at the end of 2018.

Why do you guys quoting the whole big post of op to make your post? Every one of you did the same thing (edit: except one).
If you guys really want to quote then use (~image~) to minimize the post. In my opinion it will look much better.

@Op
Anything can happen anytime, crypto market is totally unpredictable.
Your chart 2013-2015 is very similar if compare with 2016 chart, but now is 2018, crypto market has grown massively since then.
It may also possible that the price will hit $40k-$60k by 2018 instead of going down to $4k-$6k. But "if" it goes down to $4k-$6k then a massive buy/price push will happen for sure.

It is true that in January we showered with red blood, and the market is still not recovering. I've seen that even with solid news the alt market didn't respond.

Just hoping for the best.

I do not think that this will happen again, in any case, the number of bitcoins in the wallet will not change. This currency is not so widely used and in our power to spread knowledge about it and to use it in everyday life. And the price in dollars equivalent, to is it interesting? If bitcoin will accept as payment for its services and spend on purchasing services of other participants, then the system will work

Well, it will definitely reach 40k levels before the second yearly quarter ends. We can't really exactly predict what will be value on December 31, 2018, but we can likely predict the new heights it will touch during 2018. Currently we have FUDs of tether which is pulling price down and before we had ban FUDs. Bitcoin will be real king when it is unaffected by any such news.

With bitcoin's high volatility, its really possible to see those prices. However, it will really take a lot of bad news that will make investors pulled out their funds from the market and crash the market so hard that everyone panics resulting in the price going back to $4K-$6K.

The questions is what are those circumstances that will really pull the price to bottom? I don't think that FUD will significantly impact the market to bring the prices to its knees. The only logical choice that I can think of is that if the scalability issues wasn't resolved in the next coming months, investors will lose their trust and faith and maybe one day decided to pull their money and invest it to altcoins.

The patterns are the same over the years. After the downtrend comes the uptrend. The crypto market has been booming in the last couple of months after the heavy downtrend in August 2017 that saw the total market capitalisation drop below $100B. I think the same is happening now. I'm predicting Bitcoin to be traded at an average price of $55,000 before the end of the year.

that is the price depends on the market demand, and if the desired price returns to the original price will the customers who buy bitcoin at the price of $ 15,000 and above feel depressed and desperate, bitcoin back bounced when there is a recent info that really increase the price of bitcoin and it takes a very long time. I hope the end of the year bitcoin again set the highest price record exceeds the previous highest price.

Literally anything can happen.  An emp pulse could destroy mining equipment and computers.  New entrants to the market could mistake bitcoin gold or whatever and buy that by mistake.  Regulation, emerging alt coins, financial crises, the list goes on.

Crypto markets are still very new.  I have been trading stocks for many years and cryptos for a few.  A 50% shift in bitcoin price, up or down, is completely normal, I don't even notice it anymore.  Compare that to blue chip stocks.  If any DOW component fluctuated half as much as bitcoin, investors would be jumping off of bridges.  But the stock market has been around for a very long time and is heavily regulated by comparison.  Scale is also a factor: if a mutual fund pulls 100 million from a stock, the market is big enough to absorb that without collapsing.  A similar move in the crypto markets would have a much larger effect.  Many americans put money into mutual funds for retirement, and there are more mutual funds than actual stocks.  Just based on that alone you have a regular influx of money pouring into the stock market every month.  No wonder most experts agree that it is impossible to lose if you make regular contributions to a market index fund throughout your life and don't worry about short term fluctuations.  And the math, so far, agrees:  even if you put in money before the big crashes in history, the market always rebounds and you always win.  The stock markets are relatively stable and established.  But cryptos is still the wild west.  What would happen, if Blackrock, who manages almost 6 tirllion in assets decided to make significant purchases of cryptos?  And then if they decided to get back out?  Take a look at the macros involved in different markets, it is really interesting and reveals the small size, even today, of the crypto markets.  Anyway the point is that compared to more established markets bitcoin is very volatile, dangerous, un-established, and therefore no price movement of any extreme would surprise me.

It is exciting times!  Bitcoin, THE disruptive tech of the century, is in turn being disrupted by newer and better coins before it even had a chance for wide spread adoption.  Will people buy it simply because it is the household name, or will better alternatives replace it as the standard?  If it is replaced then the price can go as low as nothing, otherwise you ain't seen nothing yet.  Either way I guarantee it will be an exciting ride.

I think in the end the price of coins will be driven by their utility. If Bitcoin is able to fix their slow transaction speeds and decrease their costs, it will have greater utility and more people will buy and use it. If they do nothing to fix their slow transaction times and costs, then it will continue to go downward to prices such as what you listed over time. The best coins in the end will win, in my opinion. If bitcoin wasn't the first dominant coin, it would not be at the top. In fact, now bitcoin is used mostly as a store of value instead of a currency due to the slow speed and high costs. However, the lightning network could fix this if implemented.

It's true if you say pattern is just a pattern, and you ask why it happened?

which we need to know in the world of Fundamental and Technical cryptocurrency.

here's my opinion:
1. because FUD occurs where
2. Technically analyzing the 5th wave should have happened

my conclusion the price will not go up unless 2 things.
1. Good news that can drive the price of Bitcoin itself
2. After reaching the lowest price such as technical analysis.

about my opinion makes sense?

Its painful but I can’t afford to sold my btc at loss. Well everything is possible and if it happen or what, I will just keep on buying. I still hope that lightning network will done this 1st qtr, this can affect the price to go up. We still have more time to bring bitcoin up, lets see what will happen this month.

Price of the bitcoin this moment is $9,932 and they have possible the price down at $4000-$6000 in the end of the year 2018 . If many people sell their bitcoin.  But they big chances the price will increase again the price like 40k dollars upto 50k dollars in the end of this year.

No one knows what is the exact price of the bitcoin in this year 2018. But I hope the price will increase again so we can make more profit.

I have been thinking at something like that all the time, such a pity I didn't sell at ATH and then rebuying in the 4000-5000 range. The point is we cannot be sure that history repeats itself. It could have a different pattern this time.

Yes even at that price most of the investors will hold their bitcoin and will even try to buy more at that price, because they know about the importance of bitcoin and therefore they will never lose heart about bitcoin investment. They have good expectation from bitcoin and hope that very soon they  will see the price of bitcoin trading in a very high price.

It could, and although everyone keeps trying to guess what the bitcoin price will be in the future, the truth is that no one really knows. Bitcoin depends on adoption since it runs on a free market. Right now some people are afraid bitcoin will not deliver what it promised, because of the high fees and slow transactions. Others don't even know what bitcoin is, and they just came in for the price and are now leaving because it's falling. There are those, that see it's potencial and buy and hold, because they know the time to use bitcoin as a global payment method will come eventually. Are the current holders big enough to keep the price at those levels or above them? I honestly think so. We keep having bad news recently, and the price just keeps above $9k. I think it will be hard to put it lower than that, so I will invest at this price on every opportunity I get.

I don't believe on such pattern could happens repeatedly. It might same accidentally, but things in bitcoin always changed by a lot of factors and it's usually unidentifiable accurately. So the charts with random reason why it could have the same situation just like 2013 2015 doesn't really makes sense.

Eventhough there’s a pattern that is coincidental look alike on a year 2013 and now the price is keeping on decreasing because of rapid FUD and dramatical regulation news from South Korea and China.. I think that 4000$ - 6000$ per bitcoin is much of indirectly impossible in my opinion but thinking this way won’t help the community to recover and only take the hopes of the holders.. I won’t take this speculative comment seriously but to think more positively..

it's hard to believe because basically no one who knows bitcoin wants a price that goes down, but can not be denied one of the analyzes that are part of our calculations, said the price will go down. are we not going to believe it? while the analysis actually occurred in the previous year.

I seriously don't understand why people need to quote the OP as a whole. It's a classic thing spammers seem to do......

Nothing (at this point yet) justifies the market to sink down that much. The only thing I could see affecting the market badly, is the potential implosion of Tether, and this might happen at whatever point in time.

In order to avoid that scenario, it would be a good thing for exchanges to ditch Tether entirely, and have people convert their Tethers back to USD, or dump them for whatever crypto coin.

The sooner this market has taken distance from Tether, the less damaging the eventual downfall will be. I have seen someone 'playing' around with 1600BTC buy orders on Bitfinex yesterday.

In actual USD form it would be an impressive buy wall/order, but not in case of Tether.

It's looks bad and can make money people bankrupt. Real market is mystery but your analyze could happen and make me afraid to continue my crypto activity. Because of that, I'll see the pattern and fix my strategy again, specially about stop loss. I still have faith with bitcoin but prepare for the worst is better. Thank you for your post. 

Exchanges are overloaded with new people waiting to invest. The crypto has never had this much publicity before and also bitcoin touched $20k in 2017. I reckon $4k-$6k is possible but it would have to be due to some panic selling/massive fud. Perhaps if US/China/Japan/Korea government stepped in to incur sanctions on crypto. At the moment this is unlikely to happen, therefore I hope for a bullish trend around April.

It is true that bitcoin price has come down over the past few weeks, but I don't think that the price of bitcoin would go down to $4000- $6000 at the end of 2018. On the other end, I believe it would go up to 25k or 30k at the end of this year.

The year 2017 is a glorious year, a lot of speculation that predicts 2018 will rise. The beginning of the year is a bad thing and a trial for a Trader.
 Let's wait for March, if it continues to decline then this is a bad signal.

If in the spring it becomes cheaper, at the end of the year November-December should go up by 1.5-5 times. Bitcoin has such a tendency.

agree, we just need to be patient for longer and see price developments. I have seen the above graph speculations, there are similarities with a few years ago but I do not think this will happen this year.

There seems no solid reason for bitcoin to fall down to 4,000 dollars. If there had  been a chance, then bitcoin should have fallen down to such price by this time.But we  could still see a huge buy wall for bitcoin which has holded its price from falling more.But we could also not deny the big whales game out of which shorting is a technique where bitcoins are sold with a prediction that it's price would fall more and it would cause much more damage to the present market.This situation remembers me of the situation two years ago when Chinese gamblers manipulated the bitcoin price by pumping and dumping and now it returns once again.

It's very possible that it will happen because btc goal now is 25k-30k so it's of course possible it can reach 40k+ but it's not always that way it may go sidewards.

First thing first I think it's too early to predict the price of bitcoin since we are still in feb and the second thing despite all analysis and "expert" opinion, no one really knows what will happend to bitcoin price

then what convinces you that this will not happen in the future?
invent reason that would make sense?

Let us put it this way, the glory days of bitcoin has a 4-year cycle like the first launch in 2009, the 2013 ATH and the 2017 glory days. If we look back a year after the 2013,the bitcoin price decreases as it reach for a low as 300 USD from 1500 USD in 2013. So same thing could happen this 2018 , where the bitcoin price almost reached to 20k ATH last December 2017, so it is expected to reach the bottom for as low as 5000 USD for the next 2 years.

2013-2015 was a very different time for bitcoin.

we had Mt Gox which was somewhat the only exchange available out there for trading (it had more than 85-90% of the total volume) and it not only fake pumped bitcoin but also scammed people and ran away.

it was mainly the recovery from that scam and the market losing its main exchange!

there was also nowhere near the same adoption of bitcoin back then. people barely even knew about it let alone want to invest in it. bitcoin was still a mystery that might or might not have been banned. but now countries are adopting bitcoin for real like Japan, we have mainstream adoption and Wall Street is even publicly involved now! there are Futures, ETFs, ...

literary nothing is similar to that period :D


i would be very disappointed in bitcoin and all the investors in it to be honest. if we see something like that happening again, i will be convinced that nobody cares about bitcoin as a technology, or a currency,... all everyone ever cared about was the money.
it proves that the motivation to buy bitcoin was to get rich and now they are "shorting out" with the first sign of drop.

If you draw support lines through all the lows in your graph, bitcoin would need to fall below $8,800 in order to then break down to the $4000 level. If it hits the support and then bounces back up, it is still within the rising channel that started in 2016.

Last time I don't know the reason why it dropped from 1500 to 300 USD, but one thing sure 2013 very less people knew about this bitcoin, and maybe some group of people pumped bitcoin and cheated a normal people. But this time I think most of the people around the world knew bitcoin and invested in bitcoins. So my strong belief is no one can sell their bitcoins for loss and let this bitcoin go under $5000.

its going back to 4-6k and it will stay there :)

the possibility to return to the price of $ 4000- $ 6000 is always there, but if we look at popularity of bitcoin at this time of course i feel optimistic if bitcoin prices will increase again even impossible can exceed the highest price of the previous bitcoin in middle of this years2018.

A big price drop of a valued coin always triggers a buying frenzy. Then what happens to the price? It shoots up again. 2018 has started off badly, but it will end well for Bitcoin.

Possibalities is always there no doubt but it is still not so easy to say, because people have invested a lot of money in bitcoin and therefore they are giving a good support to it, i think that bitcoin will get good support at 8000$ and the investors will never lit it down from that price, hope bitcoin will very soon gain its previous higher price again, because still bitcoin has too much potential to increase its price.

We are already playing around now on 8k ranges which we might possibly even more lower but no one really knows since bitcoins price is always been volatile since in the beginning. Seeing on those charts they the similarity but wont really be a strong indication or information to rely on that it would really go or hover on that way.I have seen some good strong supports which would possibly blocking such price breakouts.

yes that's just a lot of people hope, but what if 2 things like FUD and technically say it will drop drastically? ;D

Right.I don't think that bitcoin which started negative by january will always have a negative price throughout the year.The market price has still a long way so predicting its price would still be so hard.Though others are basing it on a pattern years ago,it would not still reliable that it will follow the same pattern on bitcoin price today.So we should not to worry,bitcoin will still be in good hands.

all can allow, cryptocurrency market is very vulnerable to the issue

It is good for bitcoin, great consolidations and lot more people will join to the bitcoin family!  I dont think we will see bitcoin at this price for so long! At the end of this years i can see bitcoin around 25K dollars!

Well, think about what you would say last year. I mean, patrons have changed all over 2017, while they were going quite stable from the last years (from 2013 to 2017, for instance).

2017 showed us how can a cryptocurrency arise as a really substantial item. So, If we based our beliefs on BTC´s behavior from the last 5 years, for instance, It seems possible to get some kind of stability anytime. But, looking the whole picture, meaning: media, newbies, investors, great companies interest in BTC, salaries of big companies paid in BTC, &co., I believe 2018 is going to look similar to the last 2017.

BTC is changing the world here. It is becoming “famous”, and I believe its fame possibly will produce dramatic changes in its behavior.

For example: a bunch of new people which wants to get into the Crypto world but get easily panic. They, for sure, will sell all the BTC in a short period of time, so its price will get down and up as a roller coaster.

If you only rely on this model, you will not be able to evaluate bitcoin. Anything can happen, the price of bitcoin can increase or decrease, it depends on the world market. I hope the price of bitcoin will continue to increase next year

seen from the charts it seems that bitcoin prices could reach that price and it seems that bitcoin returns to a stable initial price, this price reduction is likely due to the influence of negative issues about bitcoin in some ASIA countries. this is a great opportunity to buy as much bitcoin as we can.

If there is no price adjustment on Christmas Eve, then we will be more confident about the growth of bitcoin in 2018. Close this year with many memorable milestones. This is a year of bitcoin fluctuations and virtual currency in general. In 2018, Bitcoin is expected to continue to have new developments.

hopefully it does not happen, hopefully this year is better than last year, I heard Bitcoin will rise at the beginning of next March, hopefully iu really happened.

There is always a possibility that it may happen because history repeats itself but there are always exceptions and this maybe it. The difference between 2013-2015 and nowadays is the volume of people getting into crypto and the adoption of it. There are other factors as well such as the bitcoin futures and then negative rumor or news and various forks. The situation is different so there may be a difference of pattern before and what will happen in the future. What we should do is just to manage our risk and think of ways in case the worst case scenario happens.

I am starting to see some people posting that they should withdraw their coins now and then focus on other things not crypto related. Some are in panic while others are just waiting to inject some funds again if they see a sign of market reversal. I think this is one of the signs that bear market is almost over?

who knows that bitcoin value in the past year will happen in 2018? i think no one can know that because bitcoin is unpredictable and demand of bitcoin is in the investors.

I think its posible but not absolutely since this is just probably yes or not.
Nobody know for sure wher the market will go so its not absolutely yes.

I think it's possible. It's quite eventful during these days in bitcoin world. Events that can have at least same effect, if not more, on the market like what happened during 2013-2015. But, a fact we might have to consider is that bitcoin came out victorious during that period. It can bring a good impression on users' confidence.

The only brake on bitcoin growth is the high commission and large delays in transactions. If these shortcomings the development team eliminates then there will be a high price increase. If not, then bitcoin will crumble. At the moment this is the situation.

Nobody can tell you this. If somebody could predict, he would become the richest guy. I do hope that Bitcoin will finally start to grow.

It is likely that bitcoin will drop to this milestone. At present, investors have sold bitcoin to the market. bitcoin prices are falling sharply; Reduced bitcoin prices have made many investors nervous and they are intending to sell out the bitcoin they are holding. The trend nowadays investors are switching to other altcoins, which will make the bitcoin prices go down.

No one knows what will happen in crypto market but if your analysis may come in reality probably it would be a worst year  not only for BTC but for entire crypto currency and many newbies who just join in bitcoin trading would cry for big loss of their investment. the deep is already too much but we don't know when will the price bounce back lets wait and hoping for the best to all of us.

The pattern looks similar but it does not mean that the same will happen this year. We all know that the price fluctuates depending on many aspects. If the same pattern happens this year, wouldn't it be a great time to buy more? No matter how much the price will up or down this year, the most important thing is how we use it to make profit.

Well indeed something that happens is often not like what we expect, let's just pray it will not be like the pattern in the past.
But if it really happens, yeah how else.. we can only accepting the fact which's really we can't guessing it rightly on the price movements over time as well as many factors that can affecting it.

But in my opinion, it will not be really exact as a pattern in the past, and no for the price at $4k-$6k as well by the end of 2018.

I'm not sure that bitcoin will drop to $ 4000-6000, as I know it will already be below its cost price. And then more and more positive news is coming out, but they are not allowed to be shared yet, I think soon we will have growth and good growth.

i think its normal that from 2013-3015 until now it has a the Same pattern because of the volatility  which is up and down . And also maybe this is not the right time to compare those price because we have no idea if bitcoin fluctuation will stop on this value.  Maybe need more days to decide or to compare the price, and also i have doubts that it will decrease more because of its red tagged percent from the market

then with what else? while in the world of trading that there are only two to analyze the Fundamental and technically, while we know this week a crypto world in FUD Fist and technically it should be down. you can provide the basis that will go so you think not just rely on thinking like gambling.

can you provide the basis ?, so you say bitcoin price will reach the price of 25k dollars at the end of the year. while I see from the pattern of the previous year even the possibility is very small.

I was really worried and wondered if that could happen as soon as bitcoin just yesterday had a big correction and fell below. We can only live within 4 weeks and have had such a huge drop. I was worried that the bitcoin bubble was starting to break. Bad news from the bans from China, South Korea and India has left the market losing a large number of investors and causing the market to go down.

This is a nice price comparison. thank you for sharing this chart it is a good reference.

We are just in the first quarter of 2018 and it still has a long way to run so it's really hard to predict what will happen in the end of 2018. There are a lot more things that may happen in crypto world that can affect the price of bitcoin and I am hoping for the best that it will reach a new heights.

I do not think that can happen. Because of the FUD of the market. $9000 is the bottom of Bitcoin price. many investors will buy it with this level. They will hold until it rise again.

Not because you have these graphs does mean that you have all the basis as these are all speculations therefore don't easily jump on your conclusion. I don't know if you're just being pessimistic or realistic and I respect your opinion but I don't see bitcoin will end in that price rather it will be rise times 5 from the current price. Of all of these FUDS and trolling please don't easily believe from it so we can lessen those weak hands.

What solid news do you mean? I dont see any solid news recently in crypto market.
The market now going to be very volatile and its going to very high unpredictable move. But for me, i dont see the chart at all time because it can lead me to do panic sell and my ending is loss.

I don’t think so that prices of bitcoin will go more down because people are buying at this time and I am not sure but sooner prices will start rise and then it will not stop again because bitcoin will keep on rising because this time number of new investor will be very high and demand will go high in result prices will shoot up and those who are saying it will come down to 4000k they are just giving false statements for fame.

Previously, bitcoin was a novelty and the price grew slowly and unsteadily.
Now it is too much invested.
He was already falling below 8K, now the Moon)

But graphs is one of the basis and technical analysis can help it so we can speculate.
I think the drama isn't over and if you're a long term holder just wait a little more to buy but one thing is certain that bitcoin will have a hard time getting itself.

We are not so sure  of whether that is going on happen, though I once heard that Bitcoin will reach $25000 this year, but they didn’t say when, and they also didn’t say it would be $40,000 like you said. But it would be really cool if it happens to reach the price rate of $40,000 this year, if possible, $60,000 will be good. But lets not hope too much, to avoid getting disappointed. But I’m believing it will reach $25,000 at least.

But expecting bitcoin prices to fall down up to $4000, does not seem realistic as market is right now showing some recovery as FUDs are coming to rest after some storms. So, we can expect bitcoin prices to cross $10,000 levels very soon which will lead to $15,000 and then $20,000 levels in coming days.

Bitcoin price unpredictable and nobody can predict with 100% is true, anything could happen with bitcoin price will increase or decrease. But I hope and wish bitcoin price will increase more than $20k more higher than last year like other bitcoiners hope too.

In the past few weeks, only a few days ago, the price of a bitcoin dropped to $ 7,800 due to the bad news that caused the bitcoin to drop dramatically. In terms of value. The market is also evaporating over $ 100 billion. But today the bitcoin has turned its head and rebounded at $ 9300 at the present time, although it has rebounded but bitcoin is facing tremendous resistance as all day just stopped at Price $ 9300. I believe the rwangf is coming when Asian investors are taking profits for holidays, bitcoin prices will fall further.
But with the benefit that bitcoin brings, it drops to $ 4,000 is not possible.

I also believe that can be seen in the past four weeks marked a very serious decline in the value of bitcoin when bitcoin has dropped more than 60% of the value, from $ 19800 down to $ 7800. But we can see that more and more countries are interested in bitcoin, many countries have accepted and legally circulated bitcoin for its great applications. Because I believe that fbitcoin can reduce the value but can not down to 4000-5000 $ that bitcoin will increase and grow further in 2018 to $ 50,000.

Could be possible. Market dominance of Bitcoin has gone down to less than 40% from 80-90% at the beginning of 2017. With fiat pairs on other cryptos available incoming, most of the new people enter the market without even purchasing bitcoin. Even with what we say, the lightning network or any other upgrades that will come on the blockchain of bitcoin, there would still be no other use for it but just a store of value. From the 6k bounce, I think we might not see another exponential growth but a less volatile and more stabilized one.

I agree. Due to also deflation it's becoming store of value, and due to high transaction fees, it is losing it's usage for most average people. Bitcoin is just becoming virtual gold. You won't pay gold to do normal shopping like food, clothes etc. But you can buy by gold more expensive things, like car. Same with bitcoin, try to buy with it cheeseburger. Yeah it is possible, but who wants to buy cheeseburger worth 5$ and pay 12$ or more fee?

Records are there but unfortunately conditions have changed from how the market was back in 2013-2015 when bitcoin had very few supporters and believers, but with today’s high adoption rate of cryptos and don’t see why bitcoins value should drop to these margins.....we need progress as at now.
I agree and what’s also hurting the market besides the FUD is this continued posts of how low the price of bitcoin will go, let’s talk of high bitcoin prices will go😎

said if Bitcoin is going to go up then it's tough because in the current reality bitcoin prices keep going down, it would even be a public hoax if that's said at the moment.

It is really difficult to predict how things will proceed from now on,with all the regulations coming into this market,it is highly possible that the price would trade around a range of around $4k to $10k ,once the speculations about bans and other negatives news are done,then we might see another rally,because the fundamentals are sound and with the lightning network being implemented,i am positive about the future.

I think price of bitcoin in 2018 will be very difficult to reduce to $ 4000- $ 6000 because with the great applications and utilities bitcoin, now bitcoin are increasingly interested countries and save Legal notice. Although some countries are banned bitcoin, I think they are only temporary solutions when they do not know how to control and manage bitcoin transactions.

As per the current price result, we can't take an exact speculation. Because there is a chance for both it may get down again or it may recover from this crisis and perform well as they done before. I hope at the end of this year bitcoin will give probably a good result.

Just believe and hold, we will be able to help this industry if we will remain from our position that bitcoin will still go high, we can't predict as players and holders are still doing their own journey inside this industry the more we support and hold our coins the better result that we will see coming end of this year so better to think about it and stand in our position.

It could happen but the circumstances are different than back then, bitcoin has a lot more users right now than in the past, the market is a lot more mature and we have that crash as a reminder of what it may happen if a truly devastating news hits bitcoin, while there have been bad news in the past weeks I do not see a single one of them being as bad as it was the incident with Mt Gox so the chances we are going to see that price at the end of the year are low.

It's true, the market is very different this time thinking about the users number. But I think there is an inedit event this time we didn't have in 2013-2015, the government's offensive against Bitcoin. It can reflect negatively over Bitcoin price, somehow like the incident with the mentioned exchange on that time. I don't know how strong is this factor and how it could affect Bitcoin adoption, but it worries.

What I believe is a good method to counter threats, it's to have a good number of investors from everywhere, because if a country attacks Bitcoin, it won't hurt a lot, as there will be many other people from many other countries to balance the market. We feel the pain now because some countries have great, unproportional influence over Bitcoin and if their governments do something against the digital currency, the impact is much stronger.

Besides decentralized, Bitcoin is being centralized in some main countries.

Why do you think it would be difficult? Do you have any solid, definitive grounds for your suggestion?

Bitcoin already touched 6100 a couple of days ago, there is more to come :)

anything can happen, and in the future I can not predict as accurately as possible, but I hope it does not happen, hopefully Bitcoin back up again.

The severe the bad news is the deeper dump will happen on it but if we compare the adoption before and know we can point out that the current one is strong that's why It's really hard to think that their would be severe annoying price will came. And unlike before with Mt.gox issue the adoption is less and only few people know about bitcoin at that time that's why maybe that's the reason why we see the almost dying price.

whereas in a month the value can increase or decrease by even 3 times, it is practically impossible to predict what will happen at the end of 2018!
 but I am convinced that it will start to rise again and that in 2018 we will have a new record "high all time".
We'll see what happens in 2018, surely we will not be bored

Now that the population base of bitcoin is greater, it is inaccurate to predict the future based on the previous situation.

I agree with you. However, it is still very hard. Bitcoin is just like something that worth to the people. Everytime bitcoin is lower than $7000, many people will join the market and buy bitcoin. Just like gold. It is hard for gold to drop down its price even though in the real world, it does not have any usage

I really don't think that bitcoin might end up at that price in the end of this year having its ath last year, December. Although that price is possible. But I know that bitcoin might retake its position this year. And might even go higher. I forgot that famous person said that bitcoin might x40 this year :). So kept on hodling and we can win.

It is too early to claim this thing that the market value of the bitcoin will remain the same by the end of this year. Things change and they change very much rapidly. It is too difficult to comment on anything and too regarding that thing which is very much unpredictable in nature. I strongly believe that the market value of bitcoin will increase and will increase very much high by the end of this year.

Right now, things are very much against the bitcoin and the ones who are investing their money into bitcoin as with each passing day, the market value of the bitcoin is decreasing thus creating more panic situation for the ones who are holding their bitcoin. Bitcoin is volatile and its market value keep on fluctuating, so we need to hope for the best as this is just not then end of everything.

as I said above, to this day the movement of Bitcoin never uptrend, if we look at the history of candle there is a real similarity, if it really happened it is not impossible the year end price of 4000 $ it happened.

Yes that right to say that anything can happen and we already know about the history that bitcoin price always remain as too much voltile and therefore anything happen to bitcoin, In previous time we have seen a lot of ups and down in the market, i think that it is still very early to say about the market of bitcoin.

In Crypto everything can happen and the opposite of that, but  I don`t think it has sense  to base prediction on 5 years old patterns as the market has changed a lot since then. History often repeats itself but I do not think it will happen this time. Quite sure BTC price will be over $ 10k  and it is a  conservative prediction.

This analysis looks real now the market is responding in the same way we may see bitcoin 3000 dollars if the same downtrend continues

I think it is possible to happen ad some experts even say it will reach around $2-$3k be end of this year or within this year before it goes back up. So I’ll just expect the worse this year and be hopeful next year, thats just the way it is since Bitcoin is still not stable.

it seems that bitcoin prices this year have a very good drama movement up and down the price is very difficult to predict, while bitcoin prices by the end of the year may be more than $ 20k because I see bitcoin has the potential to rise that expensive.

Fufufu I'm already gathering money for this dip I'd bet my all savings for this. This time might not be the time for BTC to be acknowledge just like the last time though that pattern was my inspiration and reference to what might happen we all just need to keep our hands tight and hope for the better ;D

of course not, bitcoin will not end up in the $ 4-6k price I believe bitcoin can be more expensive than current prices. bitcoin has a very good potential.

I think $4,000 is really possible. I'm glad I moved my all fiat exposure out last December together with some good gains.
Everything I have in crypto now is profit but it still sucks to see your profit go down the drain.

i think every possibility is still possible, depend on news maker and market sentiment to bitcoin. we hope no more bad news about bitcoin and the price will recover soon

I think we are already having the same scenario currently and I hope this will not be the scenario by the end of year 2018. I guess it wont be same by the year end because I am comparing this situation with the last year. When bitcoin dropped to 5K USD and around then it was the correct time for it when it eventually started to grow above that price. It slowly plunged to the price tag of 6K USD, then stayed there for long and in same way it plunged to 8K and then after it did not stop until we saw 20K USD.
Is not everyone thinking about the current situation in the same manner?

Do you guys ready for deep diving? I mean, we can reach 3000-4000 dollars and market will stand in this zone for a year or half a year. I think it can heppen. And it will be very painful for all cryptoinvestors.

We should consider all possibilities and it's unlikely imo, but it's still possible. There are a lot of talks about mining cost. We will see.

There are a lot of possibilities that can happen so of course it depends on the people if what will be theur decisions of course this kind of rumors are also affecting the peoples mindset. Some of them might see yhis and when they do they immediately panic sell because of that and those things can really make that statement of yours be in reality. So lets be all positibe and trust the process if that will be the case and then hold for a long time this is not the end of our life. Lets face tge problem if there will be.

Eehm… it can be very much possible, if there is not enough investment made to raise the price. Unless they are going to bubble it or whatever. The previous years I can remember that the price of Bitcoin usually goes up around ending of the year and not at the start.

So as for this 2018, if I’m going to say anything about this, it probably should be around the end of the year, around September or October. And after this year, the price will likely go down.

Nobody know the future. It can be or it cannot be not.

For me, I know that history repeats itself so I know that this will not happen in the year 2018. I think that Bitcoin will repeat what happened on 2017 that it shoot up to almost $20k. We are just speculating the price of bitcoin so nobody knows what exactly will happen.  It depends on the whales too if they want to pump it or not  ;D

The price of bitcoin is speculative and can not be predicted correctly. It happen that because of the nature of bitcoin any price is possible so by the end of 2018 the price can be up to $10K  or below .

It is hard to predict Bitcoin price by end of 2018. My personal prediction is $20,000 thou. Hopefully, Bitcoin will start to recover soon.

all can happen in an instant even tomorrow even bitcoin prices can rise if many investors are investing in bitcoin bitcoin, bitcoin prices can not be predicted with certainty because very fast change.

I do not think that at the end of 2018 bitcoin price will be trading so much low,. To me my personal view is that at the end of 2018 bitcoin price will be trading above 15000$, because still a lot of time to go tell the end of 2018. I think that in next 6 months bitcoin price will surely recover its price too much and hopefully will be trading above 15000$, I think 9000$ increase in 6 months is not such a big target for bitcoin.

No will be the answer.I hope the price of bitcoin will reach 25-20k$ by the end of this year.If you have a doubt,check the price chart of last year.After the August,their is steady raise in bitcoin price with some minor fluctuations.I don't think the pattern of 2013-2015 is continue now.

Right.Even how bloody the market today,but i still have high hopes in bitcoin that it will start to recover its price within the last quarter of this year and hopefully by december the price would go $10k above.I know history won't always repeat itself but the chance of making the price skyrocket again is also very possible to happen.

I think that at this point we still have enough time to hold out. I believe that the main growth we will see at least a year and a half.

Tether has released 250 million USDT tokens. Usually this led to a rise in the exchange rate for bitcoin and altcoins. In addition, Circle noted the huge growth of investors on its site in May-June. I hope that in July we will break the downward trend. ::)

the most important for me is btc to be stable when it is stable all the profits can come from ICO`s and altcoins but when btc is in trouble and goes dipper than the market becomes a bloodbath.

if the same bear market continues then we may expect the same prices like 4000 dollars to 60000 dollars price range  if we can see bull market then the price range will be 20 thousand dollars to 30 thousand dollars

This could bring a good run for the whole crypto market beside bitcoin right now are starting to rise up a little bit so just wait for the next move if bitcoin will continue to dump or rise up again, usually bitcoin prise starting to pump by the 4rd quarter of the year.

Yes.I also observed that the last quarter of this year would be good already for bitcoin.We cannot predict the price correctly but i'm really hoping that today's pump might lead into a bull run in the following days for the price to recover and to see increase in growth for our investments too.

this time early of this week bitcoin price are dropping lower than 6k usd I think this coming month of july it either the price continue to drop of the price goes uprising until end of the year price become 12k usd its only my own analysis and prediction hoping come true.

I think the bitcoin price will increase in October, November and December and it will fall next year.But the bitcoin has a bit of a bit of value because the price of bitcoin increases every year.

It hurts me to say this but I really see this happening. Interests have been slowly fading in crypto and that clearly says that there are no people considering investing in crypto and no money pouring in the market just means no increase at the price at all.

No, the point is we still have the chance to invest even more because the market prices are decreasing right now and we can earn a huge amount of profit in the future.

everyone can predict but can not be sure when Bitcoin will go up and down, because the Bitcoin holder is independent. it is true that Bitcoin can rise again when there is good news for Bitcoin.

And the one we bcci in Bitcoin is there is FUD or bad news. hopefully in the future the bad news about Bitcoin is immediately abolished and nothing else like it.

it seems that bitcoin will not always move up and down depending on the demand that is needed in the market and users around the world, when there is good news I am sure bitcoin can be up again and can be very expensive.

To be frank anything possible in bitcoin.When the price of bitcoin above 10,000$,I think the price will not reduce below 7000$ mark.But bitcoin make me understand everything is possible in bitcoin.If you had invested he life supporting money in bitcoin,some times you may forced to loss a big amount.So don't do that.

If we would just base it on the past patterns then we should just hold our coin and wait for the next huge pump ,
We couldn't really tell what would be the price of Bitcoin at the end of the year so let's just hope that there would be a great news that would pump the price of Bitcoin.

Do not think the price of bitcoin will come down again, I think $ 5k is the bottom so it can not be lower. If you wait until the end of 2018 bitcoin prices can go down to 4000, never happened. You have to understand that many investors depend heavily on bitcoin for example they speculate or mining they will combine to bitcoin prices up. I think this is a good time to buy bitcoin if you want to invest. If you do not buy now I think you will not have the opportunity to buy anymore because the next bitcoin price will rise high. Wish you luck in your decision

That's a very likely prediction. But I still believe that the course will begin to show good results by the fall. I don't think we'll hold out long at this point.

already old investors are converting their money to Altcoin or taking off their investment due to fall in the price and if the price more, the market cap of bitcoin will drop more and may bitcoin lose the first position in the cryptocurrency list. Ethereum and Ripple are behind bitcoin and it is quite sure that one of them will take over the first position in the market.

I believe that it could be a good run too in the crypto market in the last quarter but this could maybe yes and could maybe no depend upon the demand of the market. As what we can observed the market is still on down state and didn't make any further movement on becoming in a good condition but somehow I am waiting for the great opportunity of crypto to recover.

I think that the bitcoin bubble is starting to break, and it is hard to recover, you can see that bitcoin prices are constantly fluctuating and increasing in recent days but it can be seen that the recovery force is very weak and bitcoin prices will likely keep falling sharply at any time. If the $ 6,000 mark breaks, the bitcoin price could fall to $ 5300 and even $ 4,000 next month.

It is a whole lot possible and even though it may not happen immediately, as there could still be a small rally upward around $5000 in coming days or weeks, but that would still not stop it from trying to test downward. However, this would be a great opportunity for anyone who is smart as this is actually a way to just accumulate the more for the future which I am pretty sure is going to be awesome. It is a good thing to see that we can at least get to buy low after the huge rally we had last year.

It is still a possibility when the influence from the trend and psychological user is not stable. FUDs can continue to eliminate bitcoin prices. Of course, I do not accept a failure season with cryptocurrency. And I'm still waiting for the next sign and sound in Q3 for my speculation.

It would appear that the FUDs are slowly dying down, or that most people easily swayed by the negative news of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have all but left the space. I am referring to trend following/panic investors/sellers from Q3 last year and Q3 early this year. So what we should expect is some stability to an extent. I see bitcoin being above 6,000 by the end of the year, but no more than 10,000. So I will do the mathematical thing and take the midpoint which is 8,000. For the last 6 months of 2018, we should see slow and gradual acceptance (testing of) blockchain and cryptocurrencies by major firms, this should give the market some boost. Other coins too, are likely to perform well.

q3 will be turning point for crypto currency price.although q1 and q2 is very hard for cryptocurrency, we must stay optimistic about its future.buy and accumulate now before bitcoin rise again.

Yes, the recovery force is very weak but I don't see Bitcoin going dip to $4000 price range because once the FBI are through with their investigation on bitcoin and other 129 coins the market will be back on track.

What can happen so if the BTC drops below $ 6k or under $ 4k is absolutely normal. But I believe in the end of 2018 this BTC and the cryptocurrency market will rebound strongly, I am very hopeful of this because the cryptocurrency market is still very potential and investment opportunity so I think that should not be abandoned through this opportunity. I think the value of BTC at the end of 2018 is $ 25k.

Anyway, $6,000 prize is still high comparing with 2013-14 prices. I agree for bitcoins to be like that the main thing is that it would not be less than that, because we'd current market trend it can be the Bitcoin would fall even to $1,000.

It's too much easy to reach the price of a single Bitcoin $4000 or $6000 . Bitcoin is now an over growing cryto . Now the price is already rounding $5000 . At the end of 2017 the value of bitcoins reached at the highest position.
No one expected such types of growth of bitcoins.  It was really unbelievable .It continued at the first two months of 2018. But after few month later and the mid of 2018 it started to decreasing instead of increasing. It is expected after few month later or at the last of 2018 the value of bitcoins will be high position again.

No one exactly can predict the price of bitcoin by the end of 2018 maybe only $4000-$6000 but some analyst says that bitcoin could be boom by the end of 2018 their prediction was bitcoin maybe could hit up to $50,000 by the end of 2018.

It even is speculated to reached down to $3k by either this year or by the end of this year. And now its actually down to $5,800 again; I mean who knows right, the price could suddenly drop down to that much and rise again the next morning.

I believe that bitcoin prices in 2018 will not only fall back to the $ 4000 level but may fall further and possibly reach $ 1000 by the end of 2018. You can see that bitcoin prices are constantly fluctuating and falling. strong since the $ 19800 mark. City is falling into crisis as bitcoin prices are constantly falling. So at this moment I believe bitcoin prices will continue to fall sharply more than the global recession.

Just a thought, I was trying to recall what was the price of bitcoin last year before the bitcoin was hyped by media. If I am not mistaken, it was roughly at 6,000 USD before John Cena twitted about BTC... then the pump happened coincidently...

Therefore, the real support is at more or less $6,000. Because most buyers beyond that were not really bitcoin enthusiasts but just sheep.

Let's see what will happen

I agree with your views although I bought bitcoin at 8k level  but if market will closed ti 6k$ at the end of the year i  can say it is quite safe territory for investors who bought at a higher price than it will fall to a much lower price. As we all know bitcoin price can surge in just a week if somebody would pump it hard. i will keep holding my coins and  wait when market recovers.

I placed some buy orders months ago, that are close to meeting the trade price point. I wasn't not expecting bitcoin to get low enough to take the trades too seriously. However, looking at the chart im thing of re-positioning the buys at an even lower price. If its not time to buy in now it must be getting close!!

With the current situation, I think the crypto market this year will not be good. However, I still hope that this price will not happen. Because nothing is really certain, especially the investment market.

The OP has got it quite right, it seems. The funny thing is that I had thought exactly the same, even at the beginning of January, but then, alas, I have failed to act accordingly.

Yes I think the price by the end of this year will be around $4000-$6000. Maybe in the next year there will be a great news that will boost the crypto market.

it's possible that bitcoin will only hit the worst price at $ 4k because I see the bitcoin price at $ 4k is already the most severe and there are sure to be many people who panic and sell a loss.

Well, that is only an assumption with the possibility that you see a huge demand in the market if we want to be at least pragmatic, nothing is going to be warranting that anytime soon. This is still a speculative asset and a highly speculated environment, so, the idea of expecting a huge change very soon is one that should not even be assumed at least for now.

We are in a huge bear market and that is what we have in our hands presently, and how low we go to buy in as much as possible is what we should be looking at.

It is quite possible. For 6 months we are in a downward movement. It is quite possible to finish this year at around $ 4000. I hope that this will not happen, since the longer bitcoin is in the down trend, the worse the altcoins feel and the worse for the ICO projects. But in any case, as history shows us, even after prolonged depression, sunny days come. Each of us will have the opportunity to regain and increase our investments.

As I tnaays this is a bad year for the crypto market. So I think bitcoin will have the highest price of 15k. But I hope my predictions are wrong.

The price of the bitcoin is generally down for the first six months of this year and the trend might continue for the second half if there's no positive development coming for bitcoin to boost its price. Factors that could helped bitcoin to pump its price are not present and there are also report of price manipulators that aimed to keep the price of the bitcoin go down according to their plan. With this situation, it will be possible that bitcoin will be much lower than last year before 2018 ends.

It was fine if it goes to $15k dolars because it will be still profitable, selling your coins today will just make you lose profit so try to invest even more while the market price is still dumping to earn more profit.

 

Still just the middle of the year guys. Don't count out a big run just yet because the targets of beyond the current all time high can still be achieved in a month or two. Be a little positive and flexible with your expectations :p

It is little sad to see the btc has not risen much in this first half of the year but I am hopeful that in this coming months we will see the rise to happen and btc crossing even 15k in this next 6 months and our year end will be a good one.

Bitcoin being fluctuating. Really I haven’t seen any sort of source of income to be just like this volatile. In other world business talks, whenever something or some asset start shaking in their price, they are getting older and useless. So better to get rid of them. Same is here with the bitcoin but instead of being useless, everything is just getting useful. Better for bitcoin.

My taught is that what is happening in they crypto world is correction and they value of this coin will rise higher before they year ends,currently there value are pushing high now.

I really do not see this happening and the same pattern is actually just kicking in already as there is doubt about that. This movement shows that there is a likelihood of us seeing as high as $80k and who knows, it could even get higher than that. I would not say this year is best anyway, because after every downtrend, there is an opportunity to bounce back and that is how I always see it. For those who thought they missed the chance of a huge value later on, I want to believe they have the chance now.

There are half more year is remaining in 2018 hence we may expect many more surprises in coming weeks. Today slightly bitcoin prices bounced back from $5800 to $6400 sharply why not same things to happen in coming months to mark another year of bitcoin after 2013 and 2017.

It actually isn't impossible because anyhing could happen to bitcoin price. It could go lower or higher than what we expect because it is volatile and we can't do anything to control it. It is just important that we all know what to do with our hodlings fpr us to gain a good profit.

I don't believe on that the price of the bitcoin before end of this year 2018 will become only 4000 upto 6000 dollars. Because for me the highest price of the bitcoin in the end of the year will be 50,000 dollars and I hope that really happen.

it could probably happen to the $ 4,000 figure because every week Bitcoin is about 10% decline. But hopefully my prediction is wrong because whoever the price of Bitcoin do not get down.

I also hold some Altcoins and almost 40% minus its estimate, hopefully Bitcoin rises again and the market becomes green again.

I think Bitcoin will not update ATH update in this year. It will be only in flat. According to technical analysis bitcoin will be in flat till the end of this year. But also it will crash to $ 1200 - 3000. and will go back to current levels. That's why - yes, Bitcoin price could be $ 4000 - 6000 by the end of this year.

definetly thats not true,because as far as i look up the coin markets cap now the price value of crypto coins is going high,thats why i thinks maybe this is the things that we've been waiting for  because maybe this is the moment that bull run is coming therefore if bitcoin is going pump the altcoins will be follow soon to pump,even though my penny bitcoin in my wallet is growing simultaneously,thats why we conclude and hoping that it will grow back to its normal price value in exchange market,even back to $12k -$15k at the end of these year,thats enough for us to become profitable.

I am sure it will be above 10k dollar, right now in market price of bitcoin is almost 6k but it is good to have patience soon it will start moving, it will be high according to me, it is true bitcoin is hard to predict accurately but I am sure with this fine movement of upward trend bitcoin will rise high, volatility of bitcoin is quite natural so at the end of 2018 bitcoin will leave good news of higher price for us.

With they movement of they crypto market I will say that one can't say or predict they actually value bitcoin will be but from July bitcoin will rise,truly they crypto market is volatile.

I do not think so, as we cannot say any thing about the bitcoin price, but still i would like to say that we already have seen a lot of ups and down in bitcoin price, but after each fall we always seen a good recover, and for this time i am again expecting the same to happen, i think that bitcoin price will hopefully recover very soon and at the end of 2018 bitcoin price will trading above 20000$.

Need to cultivate the trust of crypto when we want to see a positive change to cryptocurrencies. Because with the trust of the public is what will make cryptocurrency survive and can have a high selling value. Besides that the higher our intensity in using cryptocurrencies then it will be very good, let's together support the development of cryptocurrencies and we will all feel the benefits in the future. The very high asset growth in the world of crypto will determine the future that we will go through and live.

I Think that the best way you can save your money is to invest in different perpsective altcoins. The best way you can make some funds off the market is to invest in different ICOs. I did the same way and Have invested in the ICO which is called Cryptics. These guys have developed a platform which is capable to predict the prices of different cryptocurrency assets with high accuracy rate up to 70% This technology is truly amazing because it eases the traders life dramatically.

Now is best opportunity f or us to invest our money and buy some more coins at lowest price of 4k dollar and 6k dollar, price is not yet too high to sell your coin, if you have money I would suggest you to buy some more so that your whole life future will be safe, you will not have to be worry about rise and fall of you have patience and invest in long term trading or investing price is gonna too high till end of 2018.

Yeah as compare to the previous position of bitcoin 6k dollar is high price, but it is not too high that investing now can give us profit, people are investing money in bitcoin so that’s why they are supporting bitcoin to be invest by people, I think we should invest because price of bitcoin will be higher in future as more investment is making price high, all people are supporting bitcoin globally so that I truly trust that bitcoin will continue to rise and it will never stop increasing.

I think the price of BTC will turn in to bullish soon , now could be the price is the cheapest one and ready to go higher even to $50k like prediction many expert. Learn from high volatility of BTC, it should be never be greedy to make invest in to it and always use stop loss and trailling stop.

Anything can happen in the market. It is not possible the price will be under $5000 by end of the year but personally I don't think that would happen because according to its chart, usually it would spike in the end of the year. And I don't think I should sell my asset and park it in USDT. Instead, it is a good chance to buy back at lowest price possible.

Lol yeah we know that the fluctuating price of bitcoin can bring even the lowest price like today and can even rise very high up
thousands of percent like last year. You're right to learn from volatility. do not be too greedy. You must know when to stop

I think Bitcoin will not be in the $ 4k-6k range by the end of 2018. That's a very negative thought. The Crypto market is waning but does not mean it will not recover. It has come down for quite some time, and by the end of 2018 it will be time for the Crypto market to recover strongly. I predict Bitcoin prices will be at $ 9-11k. :D

In my opinion, Bitcoin will go up or go down depends on the demand and supply of the market. However, The market demand of globalization changing day by day, especially economic, legal and political. For example, there are a lot of wars in Middle East, it will affect immediately to cryptocurrencies ! Why, because a lot of people want to save their cash, funding by using the third technology which is Bitcoin. In deed, a lot of people nowadays change their perspective in term of cryptocurrency, the majority of people want to purchase more in order to hold and invest to gain more profit. But its too much risky, therefore, they will consider carefully if they want to invest in this area.
Last but not lease, I believe that Bitcoin will raise up in the end of 2018, because of ICO advantages and many people in worldwide start to invest in different types of cryptocurrencies.

You should know how to be emotionless and always aim for gains, ask both long and short can be profitable in a type of market like this, knowing and understanding everything inside your investment will be able to bring good returned, there's a lots of deciding factors that will give us some hint in order to invest well, whether bitcoin will run high to 50k$ or fell more to 4k$, as long as you understand and knows how to play with volatility then you will still survive and have a decent earnings.

Well the first thing is that the analysis is not a real one but a nominal one because you are using the past data and comparing the present market condition with it while there are also other factors that determine the values of Bitcoin be it exogenous factors or some other factors.

SO what I want to say is that do not loose faith for we might head another direction than the one you guys think. In my opinion, we will not fall and might approach to boom soon.

This is what we call a wise investor. People like you are often referred to as Sharks in the market. All those who cashed their coins in December are actually trading with a strong heart. We have had a fall below $6000 few days ago which was recovered a day ago. This recovery is like a hope for the hearts and it really keeps you motivated not to cash and to wait until it is boom. We are hoping for the boom till December.

Everything is possible of course in Crypto but that range of $4k - $6k is not likely what we will  see end of 2018. There are already signs for recovery but it is early to conclude but there are many reasons for the market to change the trend to bullish and the recovery phase will not take so long like 2014 did.

currently there is a signal for bullish. just waiting for the triger to make the bitcoin and altcoin prices rise sharply. the price of $ 4000 and $ 6000 probably will not be formed again this year.

Look at the bitcoin price chart for 2013-2015 with chart from 2016 until now we see the same rule. But in my opinion that only happens once. By the end of 2018, bitcoin prices could not return to the 4k-6k mark. Because the 2016 cryptocurrency market is different from 2018. I think by the end of 2018 the lowest bitcoin price will also be $ 10k

I hope it is just a prediction, and do not want that to happen, because there will be many people who are disappointed and feel at the disadvantage.  :'(

There is a lot of indecision in the market and with that bouncing back and forth though, I am actually considering the possibility of a reversal soon but not some serious reversal but just a possible one towards $7500 which could link with the support line we broke out from the wedge formation downward. We are still in the downtrend, and we could even hit as low as $5500 possibly, but let's see how time will end up playing that out.

But, by the times of year end, most probably we will have positive trends similar to many previous years. Lets up hope for the best to happen for this community. Because no other things we have left to do except strongly holding our bitcoin savings.

I think that this is quite possible. Because many now expect a lot of growth. But unfortunately, as practice shows, everything happens vice versa. And when people expect something one happens the other way around.

I am hoping for that, I think yes
because the company of bitcoin really doing great as of now and in the future they can reach that goal and prove that they are the best in this industry.

I agree. Anything has a possibility in this market to happen, thus, whether Bitcoin may fall down the value of 4k to 6k dollars would always have a percentage of happening. However, I am being positive and continuing to believe that such event won't happen because it would be really hard for the market to recuperate and get back on its feet, especially when the most powerful and pioneer coin is the one being affected.

What can also happen in this market and I think the worst Bitcoin can drop below $ 4k. But in terms of potential, if the real Bitcoin falls below $ 4k, the cryptocurrency market will lose a lot of investors due to losses and no confidence in the market.

if it happens we have to focus more on trading the alts and increase our btc portfolio, that must be the only strategy during these times as the hope for btc price increase is shady.

I hope that movement in 2014 will happen again. I am waiting to buy BTC and altcoins with all my USDT.

I think it is normal and I hope that we will see big pump again in the near future. These are very bad days for bitcoin price and the price is almost stuck around $6000. Now some people say that the price will dip more in the near future and will hit $3000 in the coming days. Although it is very difficult to hit that very low level but it may happen in the future.

there's so many of you asked this question several times, and none of their opinion didn't meet the exact price value of what they've observed in

the chart. therefore, everything in the market are unpredictable were nobody can tell what would be the price value of bitcoin in the near future.

I am optimistic about the market prices, there are cryptocurrency analyst who are saying that the price of bitcoins can actually reach $50k dollars so try to believe in a positive way.

everyone always optimistic about market, people who bought in high price wouldn't only stay and wait, they will do something to change their loss to be profit. we can follow and take profit when they do that thing ( pump market )

Well, sometimes predictions are different from what happens in the reality, but anyways we can fly really high. But the problem is that, many people are accumulating much in this market falls and so they sell immediately a little rise happens- this will make it difficult for a new ATH anytime soon. We might be in this red for quite sometime but we won't be in it forever, a rise shall surely come.

In August, we will be waiting for major news, so it is unlikely that at the end of 2018, Bitcoin will cost only 6 000 dollars. Most likely the rate will be at around 20 000 dollars.

The bitcoin price may be only $ 5,000 to $ 6,000 by the end of 2018. That could happen or be lower. But that's what we all do not want. For this year, the market is always going to need a rebound. Otherwise the bitcoin will soon collapse.

It could be that or it could blast past 10 -15k who knows. You can't have a specific answer to a question like that since we can only speculate and our speculations won't have any effect on the actual movement.

It is possible. A few days back, the exchange rates went below $6,000 per coin before recovering slightly. But the trade volumes are quite low and one massive dump can send the exchange rates tumbling at least 10% or 15% down.

Of course this is possible, many people always think that the price of bitcoin will not be lower than the price of mining but they do not realize that the game is slowly changing, the miners have enough profit that they want, so miners are no longer excited to pump the price of bitcoin, the price of bitcoin is lower than the price of mining is normal. However, I feel that this rate will be low, miners may not want to pump but other forces will not accept, other forces have yet to earn enough money that they want, they will not allow the price of bitcoin to fall too low, it is detrimental to them.

Do you remember 50k, 80k + estimations for BTC by the end of 2018?
Why those predictions have been fault? If we get the answers of the second question then we can see the end of 2018

What happened till now that crashed 20k of BTC:

1- Too and abnormal speculations on it
2- Critical EX hack events
3- Very huge gap occurred with 20k and dump positions; people lost their faith
4- New and competitive altcoins pulled serious investors
6- Market lost 2x of its value in a short time; people lost their faith -again-
5- And moreover...

All that facts headshot of BTC then we can not see the future without them. All market is unpredictable and I do not believe in any analysis anymore.

This time in 2017 the price down too, and I think in the end of 2018, the price of Bitcoin will be back at 10000$. We need believe :D

Who knows? The current situation of the market is very unstable. Price could rise or fall easily with the manipulation of whales. Time will come and we will get the result

Today only I was reading a report by The Palm Beach and their projected price for BTC by the year end is $36k with a growth starting from today. Many experts are calling today price run as a start of a bullish period which will be slow in the start and will gain momentum with the approaching year end. So, instead of being pessimistic about the price and expecting $4k-6k, be optimistic for a higher price growth.

That would be possible if the economy continues to be severely degraded. I think the price of the current bitcoin is not important. Let's be important about its value and its impact on the world and businesses.
If there is more and more good news about Crypto, that means the future is better and the recovery will surely happen.

Anything can happen. But no one wants negative events and losses. I thought bitcoin could reach 7k at the end of July but hopefully in SEC ETFs more than in August. I do not believe these bad cycles will repeat this year. This market stage is vastly better than ever and the user base and investment are increasing every day.:)

At present, Bitcoin's Price has been reduced but who know very well about cryptocurrency, they are predication that, at the end of year Bitcoin prices will increase a lot. Crypto Expert says at this end of year bitcoin will be more valuable because if you follow the price of Bitcoin in the past year, then you can see the end of each year at the cost of Bitcoin which nobody can guess. Just like this, we hope that Bitcoin will continue growing in this year. So if Bitcoin is less then but at the end of this year, it will certainly cross 20 thousand.

In my humble opinion it would be not the worst option for Bitcoin. Worse it would be if bitcoin would reach $1,000 or less till the end of 2018, because we are having all the signs about this.

I think the bitcoin price is not only going down to $ 4000 but it is likely to fall back to the $ 2000 level, you can see that in the long term the market is in a bearish long run so the bitcoin price will be able to continue. deep cuts. In addition, we are preparing to face the global economic crisis and it will greatly affect the evolution of bitcoin prices in the time.

This is the universal truth that bitcoin is the best coin we have in market right now, I am sure after long term bitcoin will improve even more than this, 2018 will surely end up with high price because we can see how interested people are now in bitcoin, price still now is almost 6k dollar but I think soon we are going to see the price of bitcoin crossing more than 30k dollar so have patience soon bitcoin will recover all lose,

By analyzing the bitcoin market, we can see a massive down in bitcoin. Bitcoin needed to do down under 5K and even 4K USD to make a strong and stable pump. If the bitcoin price breaks 8K to 10 USD then that pump will be for a very limited time again. Because bitcoin trend says that it should go under 5K USD. That's why no one knows about the bull run in this year. What will happen at the end of this year? That is really unpredictable. And, i am confused too answer your question, because that question came into my mind more than twice.

I am very bullish on bitcoin this time, it will close this year by a factor of 10 of the value you quoted, that is , in the range of 50k $ by the close of the year

No, I think bitcoin won't go to 4K USD ever. Because bitcoin 4K USD means a very harm for the crypto total industry. Bitcoin overcomes all those bad things, and much good news is coming in bitcoin every day. So, I think bitcoin can start the bull run at the end of the year, not bear.

My friend, now, nobody can make any predictions. Everything is so unstable that the price of the cryptocurrency (here we are talking about Bitcoin) can be different. Anyway my thoughts are: 10000-15000 price of bitcoin at least!

what are you all thinking right now? as I said a few months ago until now Bitcoin has experienced a long decline, it is not impossible if this continues at the end of December the price is around 4000$

I say you're a motherfucking genius.

Should have rea you before and oppened an all in short at 5x leverage 10 months ago xD

And what are your next predictions?

Stagnation around 4k?
Or ping pong in the 4k-6k field?

That would mean good trade opportunities...
Just closed my 4k5-4k short and I'm not confident about next move... The downtrend was clear but I don't really see it going in the 3's... There is some psychological pressure on the 3's. Don't know for you but for me it's a bit the price before the big rush last year so I see it as some kind of rock bottom "always buy" price.

Everything can happen, because this has become the true nature of the market, especially for markets that are more decentralized, meaning that their price fluctuations are vulnerable / easily manipulated by those who have a lot of money. So that we can reach the next step then we should use the HODL strategy only, maybe this method is more effective.

What if the prediction of the end of this year is whether bitcoin will get worse ... ?? :( :(

We certainly hope far towards the price movements of Bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin has started to increase at this time and we see a movement that is so good. What we need to do is try to maintain what is at the moment, providing positive sentiment can make the price of Bitcoin move. Hopefully we get a good end of the year and everyone who has Bitcoin can feel the benefits.
