The market goes up  or bull-trap ?
You guys have any opinion about this ?

Where the market is going up. since long time it is trading at these prices, more over the prices are coming down. Investors are seeking when the market will move in green.
Lets hope the market may continue in green.

I believe that while the bitcoin price will have a lateral movement and a corridor from the levels supported at 6,400 and 7,800. When the upper or lower limit is broken it is impossible to predict. Let's get patience and look, eat popcorn)

I think the descent is about to end .. in the second half of 2018 the price will begin to rise.

the use of returns with consequence as trader works as applying customs of selection to disputes of the request as appealing release of mediation from the drawing of market and the developer of the token,
as those leaves of spares on excess with the rest on existence to goes on following as the range of dependence on trader to goes as as first to follows with the limit on extrames as the risks on exchange as the entrance on table with the market of arbitration.

It's too early and too hardly to believe into that green trend , but .....YES! we will have good growth of BTC and alts soon!

If you reason based on technical analysis, then you are most likely mistaken. Technical analysis does not work in the crypto-currency market. But the positive news about crypto-currencies is well reflected on the graphs

It is obvious that the market definetely does not goes up, many people say it is rising but it is really a little increase, you want it to rise but it will not rise before summer, I think summer will be good.

This is bull-trap, look at the market right now buddy, the price BTC and altcoin will down again. At this time, someone have a chart analysis skills can get profit, but except me  :'( :'(

Look at the bitcoin's value it keeps declining so it means these pumps from the altcoins wont last,because bitcoin's movements are going to dictate the movements of the altcoins in general,which is why it might be a bull trap again from these market manipulators big players loves to fool most of the people in the community which is why we need to use technical analysis all the time.

I think that the crypt slowly began to recover. Crypto spring still began. But I'm not 100% sure. But all the prerequisites speak about this. Now it will go slow and steady growth.

Bitcoin's value is still declining which is why i can confirm that these green candles are not going to last for longer because bitcoin's movements dictate the whole market's faith which is why we should consider sticking with bitcoin when it seems to be so good to be true,bullish indicators should be the main factor first so that we can say it is safe to invest.

We are still in bull trap but this will be over soon as we pass on the first quarter. This is all about it because time is what defines everything in the crypto currency. I mean it is the one factors that can change the fate of crypto currency. With the entry into second quarter of the year I am pretty sure most of the investments has already been done with low buys and thus it will help push the market up and we will actually enter into he bull market. Looking after some strong green market rest of the peoples will follow too and thus it could help us grow more. So yeah I am sure that this is trap but really temporary one and easy to break one.  :D

If any of us have ideas on what is really going on, it would be nothing more than speculation. If you think of the future of crypto and your future as well, I see nothing wrong with getting in now. No need to wait because if everything goes green again, you will wish that you had your bag when you created this thread. Why try to save 20% on crypto that has historically rewarded hodlers up to 100,000%+?

This has also been my thought process lately. I am fully onboard with investing almost entirely in bitcoin and shelving the rest.

Many analysts predict active market growth in the middle-end of April. I'd want very much their forecasts to be correct.

After flat   the bitcoin, goes more often down. The flat is longer, the movement is more. There can be 5000. Can be even 4000.

I think it's a trap and there will be a drop in the market. will still be rocking hamsters  and beat out of them bitcoin at a low price  to then sell on high

Not so fast, the market will rise, when all people will fall into despair and started think that it will never go up.

I'm thinking this may be a slight bull trap, but we'll see the running of the bulls very soon.
I'm not 100% confident, however, so my advice should be taken lightly.

Bitcoin's value is still declining which makes it much easier to predict well according to my technical analysis it is indeed some kinda bull trap which is going to be obvious as the market cap is still not increasing it means someone is just playing around bitcoin's value! you should guys take profits as early as now or else you will lose a big opportunity again.

my opinion it s a Market now in the deep dream...and waiting for a nice time for awaiking
now we in the big deep bears stability

Seems to be a bull trap,look at the bitcoin's value it is still failing and look at the total marketcap of cryptocurrencies doesnt increasing so the risk that this is just another bill trap is really high so i wont be recommending to buy more altcoins right now as the market can be dumped anytime soon by these market manipulators.

Take a look at the market right now and you can easily see that it's just a trap :)). A little pump and a big dump right after that, if you didn't sell right time, you lost. At this period, the best option for everyone is holding, trading is too risky at this time when the whole market is really difficult to predict.

It's not a big bull trend. Market is red now. As I was thinking, market trends in these days are not big movements. I have only hopes to see a big bull trend in the mid of this year.

Might be a bull trap,bitcoin's value is still failing as we can see bitcoin dictates the whole market actions especially these altcoins in the market rely on bitcoin's movements that is why we need to be careful trading with these risky market,it might be a big reason why would we lose a lot of money if these are bull traps it could e worst.

The only thing we can do now is to be patient and carefully invest our money.

I hope it is the expected good time and price will be still growing

Only whales know what is going on on the market. We can only watch on this situation and trade. Or trying to hold and don't look at all this pumps and dumps.

Possibility of being bull trap is very high look at bitcoin's movements our market trend is still in bearish that is why i can be sure that these movements wont last for long,as bitcoin's movements dictates on how will these altcoins will do.Does the market seems to be increasing its marketcap? does the bitcoin's value has increased? of no,you are probably in some bull trap.

The total marketcap of cryptocurrencies doesnt improved,which means the market is still in bearish trend and most of the investors are still waiting for the market to stabilized,so that they can safely put their money back to the cryptocurrencies,we need to be sure all time that these movements would be for a long period of time or it will be days until another drop has come.

We have been in a bear market for more than 3 months now. So bull market is about to hit speculations are that it could be in the month of may .
Untill then all these spikes of 400-600$ seems to be just a bull trap. The volumes has been low from past few weeks so untill we see big volume and major resistance of 8200-8400$ breaking up we should consider ourself in bear market.

This is a bull trap if you have usd in value you can buy now or below 6k. I think bull season will be effectiv at the end of this month. I repeat this is my opinion. Trading is risky if you want to hold then start now.

del

Trap or not, I don't care.  I invest for the long term.  If I feel a coin or token is undervalued, I will just go ahead and buy them.  The market going up or down is out of my control so I don't spend any time worrying which direction it goes.  I will just HODL until I see profits. 

Look for the marketcap if it wasnt improving it means theres no money flowing in,that will confirm if these green candles are trap or not,doesnt make sense because bitcoin's value is failing that is why these altcoins pump wont last for long.We need to be sure first that these arent some manipulations from the big players which is why we need to wait.

As far as i can see theres no positive movements from bitcoin which is the most dominant coin in the market,we should look for its movements if we want to know if these candles are good for a longer period of time,if it doesnt surely theres something wrong with the market or someone is playing with the market that is why we should be more vigillant everytime.

Bull trap as far as i can see bitcoin's value is still declining,and the total marketcap is still decreasing which means the market is still in bearish movements.So you should be careful with your trades because anytime these big players can easily dump the whole market causing your portfolio to get rekt just to play safe,be patient.

The fall of Bitcoin prices is also followed by the falling price of other digital currencies (cryptocurrency).

The price indicator still shows the Zig-Zag pattern and again leads to a descending trend, if conditions continue so I'm very hesitant to say Bitcoin and Altcoin can recover quickly.

Ethereum has not managed to penetrate the psychological price of the next stage above US $ 500 / ETH. Because the price of Ethereum again dropped even below US $ 400 / ETH.

I think it's most likely people moving their money from altcoins into more stable crypto like Bitcoin, it wouldn't be 'new' money with it's current health. So with each step down you'll see waves of people selling off their weaker stock and slightly pumping bitcoin backup as the market becomes more bullish. However long term I think we're in for a few months downturn.

Doesnt seems to be a bull run for me,because bitcoin's value is still questionable from these investors that is why they are still hesistant to put their money back in our market,look at the marketcap it is still decreasing and seems to be failing more which is why we need to be vigillant because it might be a bull trap from these big players.

lets all hope things are looking better. Q1 has been a struggle. Still early days to predict if we're back in a positive market.

Cant see any bulls as of the moment,bitcoin's movements dictates all so you should be more focused in its charts so you would know what will possibly going to happen in the future,never trust these green candles from the altcoins until bitcoin's movements shows positive outcome because you are right possible it is just another trap.

I don't really thing it's a trap :)). Cryptocurrency market dumps and pump everyday, it's really normal, if you can't be able to analyze the price chart you'll always lose money although the market pump or dump. But at this time when the downward trend keep continuing, the market is much more difficult to predict than usual so don't do anything at this time, just hold.

So what is does it mean? if the marketcap is failing and bitcoin's value doesnt shows any good improvements? what are we going to call these sudden altcoin pumps? bigplayers are buying cheap coins right now that is why we have experienced some good pumps and green candles in altcoins,which wont last for sure because after these whales has bought cheap coins they are going to dump the market again.

So you mean, we have to be patient and keep holding until we can see some green color? Yeah, and probably people are now waiting to see some improvement about the crypto and maybe we can see some increase this month. Cryptocurrencies has so many elements of surprise so we should have faith in it in order for us to gain reasonable amount of profit.

No need for further speculation up to this moment, the market is still bearish so the fluctuation and dips will still continue. it's better to buy during those high ceiling prices because it will easily dump right after because of the market trend right now.

It is very hard to value bitcoin or eth right now. Many tokens especially are valued so far below their potential. I think the addition of new major funds that are well known that have said they will begin investing and trading in bitcoin will change the way crypto is viewed as an investment. For the most part, at the moment, most financial managers would never recommend bitcoin as an investment. It isn't well known enough and doesn't have any precedent. However, more professional funds trading in crypto will make it acceptable and that will lead to long-term gains.

Admittedly, the exchange rate of the cryptocurrencies market will increase at the end of the year, when impatient investors have withdrawn capital from the market, and only investors remain persistent. At that time, the cryptocurrencies market will no longer occur the situation of exchange rates increase too rapidly as at the present time. So if you are currently holding cryptos, then please hold on until Q4 2018 to make a profit!

As soon as the market goes up and you having a doubt about the bull trap, the market went down :D I did not understand what is this bull trap, did you mean about inaccurate data, i am still not sure whether we have a complete data to study and predict the market using these limited data. Consider this as an opportunity to enter the market and consider to invest for the long term rather than looking for the short term.

As for me ,today everything is red and not green (all of the top 10 if you do not count NEO). But I think that just now everything will start to recover,slow but sure.

Market goes up again anyway, people inneed of coins.
Just need to wait some time  8)

Yeah, altcoins popularity a quite high nowadays, peoples will buy it.
when more peoples come to crypto, demands of cryptocurrency will increased, and the price will increased too.

Going up in a slow and steady manner. If one is not too sure about this and not prepared too hold until the end of the year, then don’t invest yet.

I think the bull market will come soon.
Now that most investors are close to despair, I think the bottom of bitcoin is here, and 6K will be the bottom of bitcoin.

Not enough volume yet to support a positive trend. Market will continue to go sideways until actual adoption happens or some really positive news come out (maybe during Consensus in May)

Hello everyone! The market has turned green, it's good news, and of course, I keep the Cams for it to be the end of the depression of the market, but something tells me that the correction is not over yet and there will be another rebound. We need to be patient and wait.

Any actions on the crypto-currency market are connected with the actions of bulls or bears, they make the market trend.

the price is very low, so it's time to go up for all market
although the price is increased slowly but i believe it will be continue up

Judging from today's situation, this may be a bull market trap. Most people expect that the market will soon go up, which may not come so fast. The reaction of the market is always contrary to people's expectations. The recently encrypted FUD is continuing, which may not be able to come out very soon.

certainly feels like a bull market everytime we go up, but so far, the gains are immediately countered by an equal fall the next day. I feel like the time is still not quite right for a bull run just yet, a few more stars will need to align.

regardless of bull trap or not, now is an excellent time to buy in and hodl. dont worry about the traps, it'll even out over time

A year ago, capitalization was 17 billion. Now it's 116 billion. This can hardly be called a catastrophic fall. There is a balance of supply and demand. We must have patience.

the market really goes up, i don't think it's a bull-trap,because it's quite stable for now, i hope it will increase rapidly soon, i don't have the same opinion if it's a bull-trap, because deep down i really need the price of the market really goes up

I agree with you. Look at how much bitcoin has grown over the past year. What kind of fall can go? If we consider the long-term perspective, then the market only grows.

since most of those who came to the crypto currency were counting on an instant result, then of course they did not get it and that's why they say that the market is falling

Yes it is,as far as  i can see the market seems to be still in a bearish movements that is  why i can confirm the possibility of being a bull trap is very high risk.You should find these holes in the technical charts if you are using technical analysis in trading.Yoy should be more vigillant because the market is full of crap and it seems to be its going to be a long manipulations.

It seems so becaus the marketcap is still failing,the trend is still bearish and it only means someone is pumping these altcoins so most of the people will get FOMO or will buy something else,then these people are going to dump the market again causing further damage from the people who will buy from the dips this is how they play and we need to adopt.

Its a trap and i got trapped today, which is my fault because i did use my intuition in my trades,didnt even think twice  or look into technical analysis to check if its safe to trade i got fomo now i know how it feels,these people are going to steal everyone's money slowly but surely and they are killing the whole market by doing that,

Looks likes a trap for me too,because i have seen a lot of bulltraps and i know what its looks like? the market cap is still unstable bitcoin's value is failing why would these altcoins are going to get pumped without any reason? of course its pure manipulations from the big players which we should learn how to adopt so we can do the same.

One can understand the grief of those who came to the market in December last year. Now they lost a third of the deposit. But I can advise them to hold on and do not despair soon everything will be right!

Its a trap i have lost $4k from this crash i am too noob not to look at my technical anlysis,these are pure manipulations from the big players,financial institutions such as CME and Wallstreet are the ones who are making this market too complicated because the market is much stable when these people hasnt joined our market yet few months ago.

Sadly it is, and i have lost some of my money which i have invested few months ago.The market is purely manipulated now so i wont going to be so sure about these green candles ,look at the marketcap and it is still failing bitcoin's value is still less than $10k which is unacceptable because its ATH is $20k i am not mistaken if the bitcoin' support will be broken it is the end for bitcoin.

Technical analysis should know if its going to be a bull or just another bulltrap that is why we should use both technicals and fundamentals when we are going to trade,becuse it will lessen the risk of getting trapped from these market manipulations because believe me most of these crashes are from the big players that are trying to put bitcoin's value lower.

Bull-trap because small volumes on BTC-USD, nobody wants to buy this price

Though the prices are still low but it will go up. It is just a matter of time and all the investors should wait patiently. There is certainly a brighter future for bitcoin and according to predictions the price will start rising by the end of this month.

market are going down, its really hard to predict whn market will recover, but i hope as soon market will recover and goes for green signals.

For now despite the development, but the bitcoin value still fails because we can see bitcoin dictating all market actions especially this altcoin in the market depends on the bitcoin movement that's why we need to be careful in trading with this risky market

it`s interesting were did you find the straight signs of bullish market. TA give bad news about bullish. but FA gives some hope. and probably we can get 11 k

we are seeing an upward in altcoins prices now, but i do not know if this will come to a halt. every price increase does not indicate that we are entering the bull period :) we need to more time to see

The market is not very stable at the moment and it can not be said that it will now continue to grow, as it has not yet come out of correction

I think only the first half of this year will be red. Soon things will change and the market will be green again

Quarter 2 every year is a bit bullish. But right now, I would say this is just a bullish trap. MMs are showing fake volumes and upward trends to make people FOMO and buy their bags. This is happening since the year start. I expect a bullish trend but after April. Right now, there is a huge sell off from US citizens and now they have to pay tax on their earnings and this is expected to stop after 19th April. This greenery at the moment is temporary, but is a good opportunity to get rid of the bags and cut loss. But don't FOMO at this point. Short profit and wait for another dump to fill your bags again.

maybe april-juni will rise again, especially for bitcoin and ethereum.
and the end of april bitcoin i predicted will reach 10000 $ again

I think it is not a bull trap anymore. Its been long since we saw a green market. Whales won't let the market Bo be stagnant because they will not profit from it. They will pump it again to make a profit.

I really hope that the market has started to recover and we will not see a fall in the next 2-4 months .... The market has been very long red, now green time

I heard a news (maybe rumour)  about Amazon are coming to the block chain technology. That may the cause to prize rising up. Hardly seen any big movement though, if the news is true it will be the start

And where did you see the growth of the market? I still do not see the market turn, and I think it will happen not earlier than autumn, although I can make mistakes, it would be better if I was wrong! Patience friends, everything will be fine with those who can wait!

Sometimes it seems to me that the market is playing with us: in the morning it can be green, and close to the evening, it is red. I have still a belief that soon the situation will be changed, and the cryptocurrencies will run up. Anyway now we can see that everything is going up!

market has been down so long this is a return to confidence and hopefully the start of some steady growth

it will goes up until January before it falls down drastically again.

Its been a while since we encounter dip market lets just think this is a good sign that it is about to rise up again..  Otherwise we will keep on panic buying or selling if we always think this is just a trap.. Hope this will be start of green day.

there are such opinions of experienced investors that now, thanks to this prolonged correction of the market, a platform for entering the market of large institutional investors and bankers is being prepared. And they the know, that make, and will buy bitcoin on comfortable price) So there is every reason to believe, that now will still fall, perhaps to levels roughly $5,000 But already now, think can be gradually buy, if there is the free fiat.

if I think it's starting to rise, this is not a trap, it's been a month more bitcoin prices continue to fall, and this price is starting to stabilize, I'm sure that now the price of bitcoin began to improve.

The market is not going to be within a stable level because most people will try to get their cash whenever they see the price go up. The market is not safe from pumps and dumps.

Nobody can predict the market direction especially for this moment.
It can go down like in 2014
__OR__
It can keep going up

Personally I don't think it will go to 20k$ directly.. So even if it goes up, it will delay a bit to make it's big move.
BTC is not totally ready to moon in these days.

I think that the market is quite stable now, and I am 70 percent sure that it is now in a positive trend, and will continue to go as far as that. Since this is the cryptocurrency market, you can not be 100 percent sure.

It is difficult to know this. whether it's time to ride or just traps alone will not anyone knows it. expect only the best and think that it's about time the market for recovered although little by little.

The only thing that we can do is to wait for sometime,if ever it is going to be a bulltrap you will lose a lot of money but it depends on the market trend,if the bitcoin's trend is still very bullish chance of getting bulls are more,but if we are in a accumulation period that is the time that we shouldnt rush things,wait for some confirmations before you decide.

most likely there are big risks that the market may fall again. And this will be the fault of another Big Bitcoin exchange in the market. The last time the decline triggered a surge in the Bitcoin offer, and the lack of real demand.

 It can be anything you like. This market is unpredictable, but it's fabulously thankful to everyone who came into it for a long time.

I don't think it's a trap, I think the market is back to normal and it's still going to increase the more in couple of months time. The glory days will soon be finally back so I will advice you invest now before the harvest time

Just forget about the bull trap and other technical speculations, if you think that the price of a token is under valued, you can enter it and wait for the market to recover and that is the only important thing you need to look, the market will recover after every correction, as an investor just look for the long term rather than the short term if you are planning to make any profit.

So far no one knows. There are a lot of experts who try to predict what is going to happen these days but seems like they are all wrong since the market changes every time and doesn't want to follow any path from the past years. It's good that now price varies around 9000$ and not 6000$ but still we have to expect at a big crash because bulls can't break the resistance line of 9500$.

I think we have to wait a few more weeks until next bull run is going to start because that is surely going to help bitcoin to break any resistance line and increase a lot.

I think that the train of crypto has started the great run on the moon. But we will defenitely have some stops to get rid from those who have scared...

if you are a trader then you will not care about growth or decline. but if you do not understand trading should not worry - today's growth - tomorrow's decline - but in the future you are all exactly in the plus

Already had a similar growth to 10k like in March. But then bitcoin went back to a new minimum of 6,300 dollars. So now there can be a turn back down. I bought in part to minimize the risks.

In my opinion, this bull market is the market for whale sharks, they try to push prices higher and to a point they will discharge the BTC and ETH to the market. So we should be careful not to lose money because of lack of experience.

The way market is going a periodic correction, I think cryptocurrencies are at accumulation stage. Every time Bitcoin hits $9500+, it undergoes a correction to $8700 level and then again pumps back. This means Bitcoin is trying to gain some momentum before the final leg. Since, whole market is dependent upon Bitcoin' movement, altcoins will also boom with Bitcoin gettting pumped. I would say we are building a momentum for the bull cycle and right now, we haven't reached there.

Absolutely, specialy to those investors who only put their money to a certain coin and hold until it multiply their capital. Price movement in a daily or weekly basis doesnt matter, as long as you are confident with your coin potential to recover anytime soon and will hit your target mark.

Most likely it's a trap, but yet again, there are tokens which are not amenable to the action of bulls, for example the Ethereum. I haven't seen to much sagged or grew rapidly.

I think market going up and it is just start of bullish market, This market is come out from correction-mode, If any positive news comes at this time then it can helps to achieve new high levels in my opinion.

Now just to say no one can. But there are such opinions of experienced investors that now, thanks to this prolonged correction of the market, a platform for entering the market of large institutional investors and bankers is being prepared. And they the know, that make, and will buy bitcoin on comfortable price) So there is every reason to believe, that now will still fall, perhaps to levels roughly $5,000 But already now, think can be gradually buy, if there is the free fiat.

Another bull trap for me, the prices are recovering way too fast at this point, which means that someone, somewhere is manipulating the prices and as soon as it gets to the price of their target, then they will be dumping the coins that they have bought which will send the market into another bear. People shouldn't get their hops up too much.

the increase for each end of the
year is very much awaited because this is a great opportunity to collect
it and release it at a high price or you can hold it until you have the right price for its freelance.

No one knows about this, even experts speculate about the situation. It depends upon you if you think coin is undervalued you can buy it & wait for it to rise, it can be a long term investment. Market is volatile, market is in correction, bull will soon & reach the moon. As altcoin depends on Bitcoin & it is stabling now & it will reach to new level.

so far early to speak whether the market grows! but the fact that we don't fall inspires a little confidence. studying fractal models I have come across one very similar model on a present situation! and now on this model there has to be growth

I also do not really believe that the trend of the market has changed to a bullish one. Everything is very similar to the one more trap .. we continue to wait for growth further.

this is not a trap even this is our lucky time, one expert is to predict the market will be green starting August and everything will happen

Since this post was in April, it was a bull trap. Anyway, the current market movement is unclear. Investors are still undecided about BTC and other coins. They could be waiting for another confirmation before we would be seeing another bull run. Possibly, ETF will have an impact on whatever the outcome of this sideways movement.

Its not a bull trap. Market is now green and it will continue more and more.
Also do not forget that halving will happen in 2020. bitcoin just started a new trend and fomo will start when it hits 10k $ level.

It is not a bull trap as market start rising after finding its support level and now G20 meeting is coming around and we hope a positive news from it and if that happen then a new big bull run start for this market.

I afraid that this is a bull trap. I setup my stoploss levels around 6800 usd and if it goes below it i will sell all my coins.
But chart is getting more greenish and maybe its not a bull trap huh?

It depends on what to consider as growth, the general market capitalization is growing from year to year. Or am I wrong? A courses of cryptocurrency self-itself are not stable and periodically go up and down. Look at any world market - for example, oil, from year to year the price also goes up and down, but the consumption of this product grows from year to year.

I can hear the footsteps of the bull season. Soon the market will rise too much. We need to invest in this already. because the bull is very close.

I think that the market will still rise up and will not fall down. I hope all of it will please us with its green shades and interest increases)

Why would anyone call this a bull trap ? well as we can see the market is raising back and the followers of Bitcoin are behind it. So basically its a great move that the market is recovering from the down market. Well, I know that this is not enough but yeah this is better. All I wanna say is HODL, Yeah this is the time to HODL all of your tokens and traders can make some smart moves to. Guys take a look before you blink your eyes, the market's movements are fast. 

In the second half of 2018, the launch of new ETF-funds for bitcoin may revive the interest in bitcoin, which will lead to the inflow of large investors to the market. If this does not happen, then the crypto-currency fever will continue to subside. If in 2017 bright news on kryptorink appeared every day, now significant events became noticeably less. Fever relative to crypto-currencies and ICO has decreased markedly. The development of blockchain technologies will continue, and the future of altcoyins seems to me as a means of payment.

I think the market is a coin trading system strategy is indeed in the year 2017 coin prices soared but this year the price of coin all falling away this is how the traders can coin a say a businessmen strategy.

Went up say,did not even see what went?)for 1day scanned 20 billion market capitalization,and then stuck again,odd strange is going on with him,can not see the upward movement,on which everything is calculated and has a very long wait

at the present time the market looks green and appealing, but in fact the downturn did not stop and it is too early to talk about the market growth. But I hope that everything will be fine in near months. Growth rejoices surely, and the mood directly rises when I see good news about market

It seems that the money is going from altcoins to bitcoin ,almost all alts are red but bitcoin is green ,so probably we are at the beginning of the new bullish trend of btc.

But who knows,there's all the predictions,all the experts have failed,growing many times, all predicted,and he never went,XS,mod only watch and wait what will happen next!I wish you all great growth and movement

Now we are, probably, in front of one of the greatest jumps in Bitcoin's cost. This is my personal opinion, but it seems to me that we do not even imagine how far up he will be able to grow up this time. I advise everyone to participate in ICO good projects, the cost of their coins is a multiple of that of bitcoin. More will receive a profit.

The current market status is not a bull trap and it not bullish either but some slightly pump in price cause the market is currently building some strong foundation before the incoming of the bullish market.

Perhaps it is a trap for short, although I would if I was a whale I would start to shave and short and long, so that traders do not converge in the head charts and triangles, you need more blood more stress for traders. Then we will fly to new heights on bitcoin.

The market is going up, I still watch that did not go down, because growth was promised for the autumn.

personally, I believe that the market will continue to fall. and we have seen such green markets more than once, after which the market fell again.

Market is now one big puzzle because we can not predict anything. One day price is red and we see fall, but in next few days bitcoin price growing to 7000 dollars

This is sick situaction so it is really hard to get answer when bulls start running

Nobody will say exactly what will gonna happen in the coming days market seems very strong from the last 2-3 days today dated 21july and we have seen nice bullish move on many coins. I don't think so this time is a bull trap.  But we all know its a high volatile market and highly unpredictable lets wait and watch where market goes but bullish expectations are high this time.

Indeed it is,as far as should be obvious the market is by all accounts still in a bearish developments that is the reason I can affirm the likelihood of being a bull trap is high risk.You should discover these gaps in the specialized diagrams in the event that you are utilizing specialized investigation in trading.Yoy ought to be more vigillant in light of the fact that the market is brimming with poop and it is by all accounts it will be a long controls.

it will goes up but I think after 1 to 2 months, whales are still accumulating more coins, and I think we should do it too ;D ;D

I think the current positions is a bull-trap since the pump is in one candle. somehow a person or a community bought at once. It is dangerous to get in

I don't think this is a trap. There are reasons for the market to rise and fall. You need to pay more attention to some news about cryptocurrencies. There are also a lot of outside news. They are helpful for you to invest in cryptocurrency. This is just my The understanding of cryptocurrency.

It seems that the long-awaited growth began. Even if it's a bull-trap I don't care, I'm not buying anything.

It's just a normal scenario in this type of industry where the market is so unpredictable that's why even there are continues price increases in a week you can't say that the market is in a good condition and would probably recover in the nearest time. So instead of overthinking these situations, make a plan of buying and selling when you hit a specific price range. Just focus more on having more bitcoin and just wait for the last quarter of the year to comes and make the next decision.

The Cryptocurrency market is a highly volatile and unpredictable market. There is no one who can predict what will happen in the coming days. But  I think that this is not a bull trap because the market has been in recession for a long time and after finding its support level, it has start moving forward.

I don't think it's a trap. But we need to control the risk ahead of time. If bitcoin continues to grow, I think we should sell some tokens. Because bitcoin has not budged out of the downward trend.

The market began to grow only now, but it seems to me not for long, the main growth will be closer to the end of the year!

Currently the market is at(I'm talking here about the BTC) one of its resistant level. If this breaks then it will go up. But it is too early to tell anything about a longer bull run.

Base on the current fundamental and technical information, bitcoin is on the  bull run except something fundamentals happened. We have been see some positive news of recent and I think those news are going to impact the market some days to come.

Its too early to come up with a conclusion that the market is fully stable and is going up. It may be another bull trap to make investors make a loss. Be sure to observe further market movement to do the right move.

the market rose only pump a heartbeat away in some time lately. entering and investing in it is indeed nice to hope for the long term. But if you do not expect to trade the increase it will be able to last long. Sometimes it's often a lot of the increase happened and causes a decrease in some time later.

I don`t think so. Crypto - it`s new and hard predictable market. But if you check news about cryptocurrency you can see, that those rising have some reasons. I wish this is long-term recovering of the market, but I can`t be sure it`s true.

So what we can see ? Clear growing trend of Bitcoin, all was waiting this and now, when I'm seeing this, I can't believe.

The bull market has started and it does it very much, probably in the near future we all still will be convinced of that. that the market really works in favor of bulls. The thing is that people are very tired of falling.

Be patient because the market will go up very soon before the end of the year. Though the price of some coin maybe fluctuating now but I am sure when the market recover from the bearish period, the price will rise and also become stable but for now, let's all be patient.

in fact, nothing has happened in the market so that you can rejoice or doubt any positive shifts. In any case, a 5% increase in the price of Bitcoin is a positive thing, But the fact that the etherium hardly raises its head, this is already alarming.

I don't think this is a trap. I don't always believe in other cryptocurrencies, but I have always believed that the bull market is brought about by the rise in bitcoin prices. Recently, the price of bitcoin has risen from $6,000 to $8,200. I don't know. Suspected the arrival of the bull market

What we need today is to be careful and content with our profit. Especially if we are small traders only. It's better to have a profit because it's hard to lose now. It is better to have a plan of what we are going to do and how long we will expect our target selling price.

Bull-trap can't be at so long time, to my mind. At first day I have idea about this.

I think that the market growth is real,it is not very rapid, but confident.But this is my personal opinion

Its hard to say whether is the one or the other. I'm also of the opinion that the rise is real and not a bull-trap, but there could easily be another example of last year's events.

I think this time is not a bull trap because all are looking forward to the market to goes up. But still we need to observe what will happen in next few days. This is it the people are waiting for so long to this  bull run .

It can be either way because I feel there will be one more market slump before the month of December and we do not know when and how but it has been happening from past two year and it might happen again but that would be the last dump before the bullrun.

I won't say anything for now, I will be watching the market for some weeks to be able to know what is happening, But I think we are going to bull, or maybe because of the ETF that's making bitcoin to go high?

At this time, the market is growing in exchange rates when the BTC exceeds $ 8000, and the ETH is gradually reaching $ 500. Many skeptics are bull-trap, not market rebound, but my view is that the closer to the end of the year, the higher the exchange rate is due to increased investment demand and whales are inject money into the exchange rate to attract new investors to the market.

the market stopped its decline, but it has happened more than once in the last six months and then the market continued to fall. I think that this time the market will continue its decline.

Now the market has started moving up. The trend continues for several days, so I think the market is stabilizing

it is unknown what will happen tomorrow with the market. but still I hope that the market decline is over and it will now begin to grow.

If at that time the increase was only a trap because after that the market immediately experienced a very deep decline which made panic, but the current increase is a positive trend that might increase because in August there will be major events in Bitcoin so that many investors come back to put assets they are on Crypto, hopefully this will last a long time and can increase the value that has begun to decline in recent months.

At the time when you've first put this question the answer was obviously: Bulltrap.
But now we are exactly in the same position with the same question. And I'm not totally sure any more if that's a bulltrap too.

no one will tell you what to expect in the future from the market. personally, I hope it starts to rise in price.

I think the increase in bitcoin is a reality, not just a trap. because as far as I know now bitcoin prices start to improve. make investors feel happy.

Can you tell me the reason how it can be considered as a bulltrap and have you seen this news https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-sec-delays-decision-on-direxion-bitcoin-etf-until-september?
I guess it's not about TA but the growth of bitcoin today caused by the fundamental support from the crypto community to push the bitcoin before ETF.

The current increase is real, if the BTC value from $ 6000 up to $ 8000. This is not one of the traps that the whale offers, in my opinion this is a real thing, do not worry too much.

I also think that there is a drop after takeoff. So soon there will be a decline. Soon it's time to withdraw their investments so far there is no market downturn.

If the current status of crpyomarket that we've sen today is just a bull trap, then it's better to watch your cryptoholdings closely if you are planning to sell some of it. But if this is already the start of bull run, then it's better to hold them longer because the longer you wait, the better your profit will be.

Yes, the current market bullish is totally really but we are yetbto reach the bull running stage cause the market is still side ways. Hopefully, we will totally reach the bull run stage next month.

it seems like a bull trap.
be careful. volume is down and i am waiitng a big drop

Yes in my opinion we do not need further speculation until now because the market is still bearish so that fluctuation and decline will still continue. we better buy because of current market trends. But I hope everything will be OK in the coming months.

I think it's a disbelief stage of the cycle. Perhaps, we are somewhere between disbelief and hope. Some coins are moving, some are still dipping

The market is going up right now and it seems the growth is solid but we are depending on the approval by the SEC of the ETF and if that does not happen this could become a bull trap, I know that many people are very sure we are getting approval this time around but I do not know why they are so positive since we have been denied that all the previous times it was tried.

We can not detect that if its a trap or not the best thing to do is buy your favorite coin or the coin that you desire most during the bear market than with for the good sign which no one knows if it is just a trap or not. Better to always keep your fund safe from the danger of dump.

I think this is the ideal time to buy a good amount of bitcoins, and forget about them for at least one year, because I am convinced that the current range in which bitcoin has been moving, around $8,000, will remain for quite some time, although eventually you can see some small pumps that will lead many naive to fall into a bull trap.

Therefore we must be very patient in these times and relax, forgetting about daily trading and focus our efforts on other investment opportunities to diversify our portfolios and not focus so much on cryptocurrencies.

No, this is a common trend of the 21st century, where paper notes go by the wayside. But some ignorant people are afraid of change.

I think that it is not necessary to draw conclusions about whether it is a trap or not, seeing a possible beginning of the growth trend. At the same time, I think it is necessary to focus and draw conclusions for the medium and long term.

but by the end of the year the market will rebound, maybe the market will never rise to the same in late 2017, but let's hope, wait, do not be discouraged, someday lucky to come with us

the market did rise a lot on the year 2017 but it happend before the year end ( i.e in the month of november and december ) so there is also a big posibility that the cryptos this year will only pump before the year ends ( history repeats itself as what they say )  so , for now we can say that is just a bull trap because the real bull will only occur on november to december .  therfor instead of worrying to much , why can you guys buy a lot of coins at this dip? so that your discouragement will turn into an excitement .

It must be a trap. I think the current trap is still not over and many people will go bankrupt. The market will once again fall unexpectedly. :'(

We hope that thanks to the support of investors and the infusion of investments this upswing will continue. I think that all the traps have already passed and this is the beginning of a new development and upward movement, so the forecasts for September are still being justified.

What we have in the market right now has nothing to do with bullish sentiment.  The bleeding of prices if still on going as far as I know,  let's hope there is at least some reversal before recovery and possibly bullish market!

Whatever you call it...any rise for bitcoin price is a good sign that there's a good chance that the market will become bullish and being a barometer of the cryptomarket bitcoin can give us confidence to other investors to buy more if they see the market is getting bullish.

Now it is falling again and again, we are bored from this same things, it is rising little and few days later dropping more and more, when this moves will be end I wonder this.

Expect the worst now in September when the applications for ETF for Bitcoin get refused. I hope it will fall more because i still did not invest and did not buy any dips.  Next month will be very interesting.BTC should go finally for 5k and Altcoins follow next sell off.

https://www.coingecko.com seeing today I scare it might well be trap

Let's wait for a few more days. For me, I'm not seeing a new trend meaning, it still on sideways. So it can go either way. If this is a bull trap it should happened by now, but so far no clear trend.

So let's see how it goes and continue to observe the market and make necessary corrections if needed. No need to be scare though, but just be prepared and used our common sense.

Something very strange is going on the market as I see. One day, you check the crypto prices and see that they are 10% higher than before. The next day comes and they lose these 10% and even more.

as i saw that was posted on april, it was probably a bull trap. it is not easy to understand the raise exactly if it is a bull trap or a natural increase. that is why crypto market is extremely risky.

The market is not going up strongly. In my opinion, the bear season is still ongoing, and I think this small ascents are not the sign of the season of the bulls.

After a while everyone understood that it was a trap and worth while to sell the coins now to buy them, but alas many did not, potomuchto did not know the truth.And now it is useless to talk about the result x, and forecasts.

The market is unstable and it shouldn't go up all the time. Its highly volatile and due to it that gives the market fluctuations that sometimes we like but most of the time we don't. Whether its a bull or bear trap, we are all speculating and we dont know for now at least, where it is going but once we see a significant movement like being positive for consecutive weeks I guess thats the start of the bull run.

This really means the market is volatile we do not know yet what price it will heading. Yes it could go down trend still but we can hope for the bull season coming. For the mean time we can wait when price arise to happen.

The basis is also true in this case. The market for April has risen sharply due to many factors, and there is a lot of bull-trap skepticism. But now the exchange rate has dropped, and there have been no signs of recent increases. Hope bull market and the exchange rate will recover at the end of the year.

well in bearmarket like these days, even small movement is gonna bring profits. is it bullrun or no, cutloss is still the worst option to do. so just hodl and be patience

It's more complicated than simple minded analysis like "bull trap." There is actual data behind the market trends you can use instead of wildly speculating based on nothing. The market crashed because of a postponed ETF announcement. However, if you look close, the value of the entire market rose when it neared the ETF announcement date. Don't you think that it's natural that we would expect an increase in value again once that happens again by Sept. 30?

I can't stress enough how now is the time to buy. Once bitcoin ETF is approved there is no telling where BTC value will be pegged at.

It may take some time. I will continue to invest more money when there is a clear trend. Now the ups and downs are unpredictable, everything is being manipulated

It must be a trap. Now the market is likely to continue to decline, and the chances are great. Don't worry about buying coins. The market will continue to decline.

No, I don`t think so. The crypto now stable low, and the price is very low. I think after integrating crypto in ETF it will be great rising in the price. So, invest now, and be patient to make the profit.

For me its designed to make people believe the value of a tradeable asset will increase spectacularly. Bull traps can be very dangerous for anyone who is trading with a larger portfolio. It doesn’t matter if you are a novice or professional trader, anyone can become a victim of a bull trap. Technical analysis can indicate bullish momentum is about to materialize. Some people will jump on these opportunities the first chance they get.

Lots of manipulation going out there in the market,  whales keep on putting bull traps  turning bitcoin trading to daily pump and dump coin,  but I'm pretty sure that it can't be going on like this,  things will get better

The whole crypto-market is a trap. Joke! The growth of the crypto-market as well as the growth or decline of any other financial industry is a common phenomenon.

Nothing like it really began to grow, has passed a period of stagnation, there are several interesting projects that are worth investing in.

The bull trap was for the last year. The end of 2018 will be the truly rise. I'm sure.

The cryptocurrency market has undoubtedly started to grow. This is not a trap, it is the law of the market. And the one who now invests in cryptocurrency undoubtedly does the right thing. As in the usual stock market, the cryptocurrency market is subject to sharp fluctuations, it is beneficial to large investors and cryptocurrency speculators. This is a normal process.

It's hard to say if it's a bull trap or a market really going up. But still many people believe and hoping that bull run will this year because we have three months before year ends.

My opinion is that it's a setup. Now large investors are buying in large volumes, so that the price grows, and then begin a mass sale as soon as they see that people believe and carry their money. But in the long term, the cryptocurrency market will grow.

it is definitely an artificial manipulation. In this way they want to bring down the price to a minimum and purchase large amounts of crypto currency. It will still then have a very high demand and a great price.

As of now, September 2018 and the current market rates fall rapidly. And it can be said that it is bull-trap. Large capacity in 2018 prices will recover slowly and can not be bullied. So you should expect the market to rebound in 2019. I think the market will recover in early 2019.

I personally also think so and I agree with your answer that the market today has given us many traps, we must be smart in analyzing current market movements. do not rule out the possibility that indeed if you see conditions as they are now continuously, at the beginning of 2019 a new market will be able to truly recover. but if in the near future or early next month if the market conditions are already rising, at the end of the year we can take advantage of the previous year.

The market will only goes up when SEC will approved the ETF proposals. Many investors are considering it and market will goes up sooner. Just wait by end of this September and lets see how will be the market recovers.

the market is still bearish. no one knows how long it is going to go on like this. but for bullish market bitcoin price have to reach over 8200 usd and also total market cap should be above 300 billion usd. in this case people can start to trust and invest in.

We could see $140 ETH in the near term unfortunately.

Although it is growing, you should always be careful, because there are those who are very unprofitable cryptocurrency. Namely, the authorities of different States.

Yes, it`s true. We must be ready for everything on this market. But now we can see a positive trend, what will be tomorrow - we can`t predict.

I think bitcoin must pass 6800 $ for bullish confirmation. This is based on my technical analysis. I hope it will lead to bullish as soon as possible.

When this thread was founded - a few months ago - the situation was different. I think that we are already after the "cool trap" and the growth trend is ahead of us. Of course, it all depends on Bitcoin, but I think we're on the right track ...

the market will go up and down and without realizing it, the market cannot be manipulated. because the movement has been determined by a party, and we cannot know it.

if in my opinion, the market has started to rise and is no longer a trap, because from yesterday the market has begun to increase even though it is still slow. but one day the market will experience a continuous increase

Officially, its going up. In my analisys BTC and many altcoins already broken the downtrend

There is no more bull-traps.The market's prices stay on in 1-2 weeks. After that this market will goes up. We should hold our coins for increasing and real bull trend. Whales will start the bull season in 1-2 weeks. We should wait the big rising just be patient for this increasing. Hold your all coins we have to wait more.

Woah! I didn't expect to read a comment saying that there would be no bull-traps because the price stabilizes in 1-2 weeks. Seriously? How can you be so sure on such thing?
Bull-traps would always there as long this market do have sellers and buyers. Price pullbacks and fakeouts is inevitable and I don't know where you do get those kind of conclusions.

Yesterday, the market experienced an increase, but now the market is back down again and it is indeed very sad. but we want to do it again, the situation is still like that, and we can't guess it all. because the current situation is indeed the market is going up and down

Despite all the positive actions of users of cryptocurrency investors, which increase the capitalization of almost all promising coins, the market still continues to act inadequately. I am sure that this is an artificial manipulation of large flowers, whose actions can kill the entire cryptocurrency market.

there is no alternative but to keep your coins in your wallet. To date, any sales can only bring a loss. I myself choose the long-term storage of my coins until the market stabilizes and the prices rise higher than the ico prices of my coin company.

Don't be so hasty the hasn't fully recover with the big correction that it went through up to this day. Its a trap for those people that can't wait for the real bull run to come. But as a long term holder you don't have to look with day to day charts, you just let it happen everything including the crashes and recoveries while sitting without worrying at all.

But you have to fix the selling price for your investment because like what you said when their is bull run then their is bearish run, which happened this year. So it is always wise decision to take profit when the market is in bull run so that you can invest back when their is bearish run. Today you can see market corrected more then 5% to 10% in all coins so who ever were thinking last week uptrend as bull are got trapped. As still bearish mode is on and it will take time to turn bull run.

My opinion is the same. What has happened in the last 24 hours is pure manipulation of whales. The worst thing that we can do right now is panic. The best solution is to simply stick to what we have. Always at the end of year all market is growing, so patience is the best. HODL! :)

Every time there's a correction we are throwing all the blame to the whales though there are studies that whales can't do it. I don't know who to believe now if those news are just made by whales or its authentic. I'll stick to my plan too of just HODLING and won't move until the market has fully recover.

when the bull market that was waiting did not come and the price experienced a red color then the whale would be blamed and until now the pope was not known while the whale theory could change the price of that was true and how it happened

What pope you are talking about? you mispelled hope? well all the blame are really thrown to the whales if the market situation isn't so good. But if the market was healthy and everyone is taking nice profit, no one is giving them credit.

Yes, now many dream of having at least one coin. In the future, will already dream of having at least one thousandth and even one ten thousandth of the whole coin.

we can never guess if this is a trap or a bull run again, but only one thing is for sure, the market is not dead and this dip is its way to bounce back higher in the future.

This is not a bear trap but this can be considered as a real bearish trend because this market was getting impact due to the SEC halted so many icos in USA.
That has been creating a lot of fear in the market. Remember this trend will always continue until all of ETF will have done and announced by SEC in the next month and prepare yourself for another big drop dude,

The crypto-currency market is not in the best condition now, many factors play on the fact that the rates fall, but this does not mean that everything will not return to its place.

Yes, in the crypto currency market there is a trend for growth, but do not jump to conclusions and hurry to buy crypto currency for all the money that you have. First, you need to make sure that the growth trend is constant and confident and only then you should invest any amount in the cryptocurrency.

With that news manipulations and from the catalyst we know that they were having some hints to push down the bitcoins price and so for the alts will go as well. The recent pump was because of the big fud spreading that the tether pairs will get delisted on binance and kucoin. It was to easy for them to manipulate everything the price the news , so better plan your move.

everything will definitely return to its place, only the question is when will it happen ...? I think that in the coming month

Today in our chat you can see many disputes about this. The biggest part of people think that trend changed and now we are seeing the start of the bull market.

If you invest in a cryptocurrency market at that stage, when there is already a steady growth, there is a great chance that you can lose everything. Since the probability of correction is much more than to go during a fall.

The greenish thing we've seen today isn't enough to say that we are having a bull run.  It is just a fluctuations of prices, from red to green color.  We might say a bull run if there is a continuous uprising trend and yet,  we don't see it by now.

No one can accurately predict the growth of a coin, but be sure to choose the right coin, the potential here is that coin products must be close and be used by many. So in the future new coin expects that growth and development.

Yep in this current sitaution difficult to decide investing coins which is potentially to grow
Trading is full bull trap trend because of the difficulties effect of the bearish market

That is the question that no one can answer and even those professional and experts won't give an opinion about it.

They only give a timeframe and an advise on when its possible going to happen but its still uncertain. Bull trap or not, do what you think will be good for you. But with what I'm looking at this is with neutrality, I won't do something that can cause my portfolio harm or regret selling afterwards.
