April is coming to an end and many people believe May will be a good month for the crypto space and the start of the next bull run. Some believe this is a big bull trap being coordinated by whales where btc will pump up to around $11k to $13k and then crash down to $3k to $5k range. What do you think will happen?

No matter run or trap, actually we need to buy now,to fix profit near 12-13$, then correction, situation like year ago
And of course everybody is waiting for regulations duirng this summer as was announced
So just hold it`s not the best idea now

According to the momentum of the current market, May promises to be the start of the bull run since the current one month, the exchange rate of the BTC has increased to $ 3,000, and ETH increased to nearly $ 400. The exchange rate of the current market will quickly return to the exchange rate at the end of 2017 after the next three months. So invest now to make a profit later.

There are many prediction that we already see and heard about the bull run that may occur to happen and by now no one can predict exactly the time that it will be happen and only hope and positive mind set can we hold to think that it will happen soon. But as of the market movement after a couple of weeks that we experiencing rising up there are some corrections happen which is experiencing again the dip. We can't assure that this upcoming months is we can already see the bull run but still be patiently waiting for that because that will be sure to happen anytime.  

If May is bullish then April will have been the start of the run, May will just be a continuation of it. I think there will be some attempts by some to reverse the current upward trend and test 6k again but ultimately they'll be in vain. May is traditionally a strong month, June and July are the ones to worry about.

sell point of btc around 13k USD is looking good target as of now .
after that it will see dip upto 8k and then final and big pump in october- december .

it depends on the news on May, if there's still a lot of bad and FUD news like the problem that happen to MEW happen again, im afraid this May still have the possibility to bring market into bull trap.

But if no any bad news, market will go to bull run or at least keep stable slowly.

Bull runs gonna happen anytime soon but for now there is only a dip happened maybe this will a sign for the upcoming bull run because in the past scenarios before the bull run happen there will be a dip occur at first and suddenly movements are steadily rising and afterward the bull runs was already experienced. Maybe there is possibility that it will be happen again but will never know exactly the time it will be so be much aware and alert. 

May will be huge.I have feeling there will be so many institutions coming in like big hedge funds especially around 10th may before NY event .I believe we can come back to 800BN market cap like in January

I saw a signal that had shown that mid-april onwards was going to see a bull run but for how long the signal couldnt tell and somehow it has happened.I believe strongly that this is the beginning of  a massive run like the one seen last year.Most of the markets have climbed steadily and so thats also a very good indicator that there may be a massive bull run

The red flags cannot stop the bull run that is about starting during Consensus and afterwards. Bull run will only end at the end of summer to prepare another one in December. That's what I think

I strongly agree with you, in May the market will stabilize again, many people have re-booked or will add their portpolio in early May, because in a few weeks the market is moving in a pretty good trend

Well it can be either of those things. Although I would very much like the market to go into a bull run right now so I can make money from my investments, I don't think the market has recovered enough to actually go into another bull run seeing as the last bull run is not even six months old yet so we might have a bit of wait before the next bull market.

May, this is one of the most active months this year, as most people will invest in crypto currency, with the goal of earning a vacation. In May, most of the Crypto-currency will show even more growth.

I've been asking myself this question for almost a month now. I want to have a bullish stable market, but there is one problem. Where did the volumes go? On many coins there was a good growth, but volumes are minimal. Some coins, such as Edgless and Sibcoin in general, have not grown in a month. But if you look fundamentally, I meet positive and favorable news in mass media. But I can not believe that everything can be so good, somewhere there must be a deception. I'm sure.

I doubt that this is a bull trap, mt gox moved a lot of bitcoin and it didn't cause the market to drop. The regulation scare is over and exchanges are finding other ways to continue i.e moving operations abroad to countries like Malta. This is a bull run, positive signs are there so green times ahead

Everyday can be a good day and similarly everyday can be a bad day
The Power and knowledge to hodl and withstand fomo will determine how much the crash or pump will be
I believe before the end of the year; there will be a continuous flow of bullish run
And we will all enjoy the profit

I strongly believe that may would be a month for the bull run in the crypto currency market. The news are gradually turning positive unlike other months where news of bans were all over the place.

As a wise investor , you need to prepare for the bulls and for the bears as well. Do not invest with all your fiat. Keep some fiat and wait to see which direction the market would move and you surely ride the waves.

I think big money is ready to be pumped into crypto market from the 3rd week of may, news from wallstreet is bullish for crypto, so personally i think may and june will be extremely bullish gor crypto markets we may see 1 Trillion market cap this time around and then a correction.

To be honest, I am not sure if this is a bull run or bull trap. You know why? The world of cryptocurrency is so unpredictable nowadays and either it may go up or down wildly in just a few minutes due to its high volatility. I would love to see the bull run, but there is no guarantee after that. Crypto regulation fears, bad news from the media, and the “much awaited” BTC and BCH dump event of the owner of the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox (where his wallet is seriously monitored and tracked). This is going to be an interesting month for us guys!

wow..
we might see a bulltrap in the next month but it does not mean it will goes that low.
it does not make any sense at all to be honest.
if we are moving toward $11.000~$13.000 , at best it will only around $5000 more or than that.
but it could not get any lower than that,logically speaking who will mine it if they do not get any profit from it.
i just hope the trend changes in May so we can see a good movement on every cryptocurrency.

I think that there will be good growth, but one more rebound is required, we hope that not two, so says statistics, and statistics are always right!

Mostly ppl are bullish in MAY
lets see where we go. I am bullish toooo
To the MOON

Is it a bull market or a trap? I really don't know, but I hold my money in my hand and I feel very steadfast. Feeling BTC will come to a very high price and have faith to have a new life.

Of course every single person in this thread isn't sure so that's kind of a moot option.
That said, if the previous years were any indication each year has about 2 bull runs, the first lasting from about May-July and a second one at the end of the year. However, experience has taught me that I can't time the market for shit and that no single pattern can be counted on to repeat itself. So I'm doing now what I regret not doing early Januari, that is pulling out the funds I put in (which was about 1/9th of my portfolio worth in January and about 1/5th now - a bird in one hand etc.).

I do not think this is a big bull trap, more and more investors are approaching Bitcoin and Crypto, so the market is pumping is normal. As far as I know sharks can not manipulate market prices

If you are not up with the big ones, you will never know if the price is being manipulated. Its scary to think few individuals can alter the price so much that it affects people on the global scale but it might as well happen to crypto. We will see what the future brings but you can never be comfortable with your investment in crypto.

Usually May is one of the most promising months during the year as the history shows.
I hope crypto market will be in the green zone during the next 2 months

When talks comes for market predictions it's actually is unpredictable. So  decide your target  and set your goals and get profits but if you are thinking for long term then I will suggest you to buy as much you want in dios and sell some part on high and repeat this to make your tou bigger .

I now have the illusion that I am going into a bull market right now, and I have several kinds of cryptocurrencies going up. ;D ;D ;D

Beginning of summer is usually bullish but I'd be expecting significant corrections around 10-12k.

Now in the market is very incomprehensible situation, I'm expecting another big fall and only then will be good and big growth and only reasonable earnings in this period

I believe that positive predictions are quite okay about the bull run of the market but we are not sure that the bull run will take place in May 2018. Aprill 2018 ending was a good start for the month of May and we hope it continue to grow higher which might also be a probability.

I agree with this statement and also hope it is true. I believe the market will repeat itself as in 2017.

nobody believes that, and there is no idiot speculator that is incapable of reading the charts enough to think something like that is even possible!

what happens is that a lot of idiots have heard the 3 letter word called F.U.D. and think to themselves that if they spread some bullshit around they are spreading FUD and they can make the price go down enough for them to buy $10 worth of bitcoin :D
some people like to live in the dream, who am i to wake them up.

Everything is like a game and we are not the manager. Try to calm down, control your emotions because this game we are the prey of sharks. The future is not what we decide, try to move on and away from all the traps created by the giants.

So far price movement of bitcoin are slowly going up and for me this maybe the indication of bull run cause if this is a bull trap price  improvement should be quickly up fast and fall after several hous .

Based on the current market trend, I had observed every time there is a slight dip, I came to notice that fluctuations aren't so bad at all where it had decreased very minimal and haven't gone below the $9K mark. I am very optimistic that this coming May will be a good month for bitcoin where I hope this will be a bull market and price may rise towards it's greater heights.

Its likely bitcoin may hit 15k boosting all other coins indirectly
But with bitcoin dropping to 3 to 5k is quite unlikely for me

Right now alot of good news are on crypto and hence this bull is not just fake stuff

can you prove with real data that bitcoin will fall $ 3k to $ 5k. I think you are too wondering, of course every drop like an accident on a few months ago is caused by several factors. and currently, there are no obstacles to the big decline happening again. yes I guess bitcoin will grow in the next few months

I voted for bull run! Why not? We still need to stay and think positive even if bitcoin will get crash in the middle of this year. I still suggest to invest now until it is still not too late to invest, once you've already seen some improvement with your investment, you can sell it immediately if you really don't want to lose if something happened and bitcoin price crash. I just know that this is the best time to buy bitcoin.

It better be a bull run. I believe it will be because the market is gradually picking up. The coins I have in my exchanges are picking up gradually.

I would very happy to believe that  bullish trend is back, but I still don't believe it for 100%. I keep the funds in bitcoin and ethereum and in the altcoins that i bought for long term last summer, now I decided not to buy new crypto assets for my portfolio, i'm going to observe the market state until mid-may and then deside.

Same as what they believe in January,febuary,march and april?lol so whats the difference?theres no bullrun instead were going smoothly,price will grow little by little this the end ofhe year,so expect more ups and down this coming months.

And about that May bullrun?no never will happen because theres no other basis but speculating,the value of bitcoin increasing as many investors coming back to make business here

Whether bull run or trap, what difference to the hodlers!

I hope that by the end of March, unrestrained growth will begin, which will make it possible to earn very well. Meanwhile, I choose the most promising coins and trade pimples.

I'm already pleased with the fact that they took out a little changed. If you look at the prices of some coins, they show quite the same active growth. Even Bitcoin and the etherium are already rising several percent up.

Yes I'm convinced that the market is going well, the altcoin prices are rising. Maybe in May will be the boom of the Crypto market be careful this is the high jump of the market.

In my point of view if may will bullish than april will have been the start of run, so may will just be a contuination of that again..

18 of us have voted for bull run. It's good to see the total market cap back to where it was a few days ago at around $430 billion. Usually weekends is where people sell but it's great seeing green across many coins. I agree with you that btc right now at low $9k is looking like a good buy.

Can be long and hard to guess. I think that the trend will slowly go up, alternately replacing first with a small growth, then a small drop. This is a good time for traders.

It is probably a short bull run. Whichever the market goes for May, my target really is the fourth quarter where it is expected that bitcoin and most alts will go up.

I would like to see the bull run now. I think that we had enough market fall for a while. It is time to see the green market in control.

I think bull trap, because I believe July is a good month for the market to experience a bull run.

I expect that there will be a very large increase and the cost of bitcoin will return to $ 20k. I think that we will not see such a strong drop  bitcoin

I remain optimistic about it and actually I bet that bull run will continue.

I am also praying for a good start this month may btc price rise again. May it continue that way,  to move up and get a good income. 

On the other hand,  if it is a trap,  let us all check and monitor the price everyday to take any decision if that may appear anytime soon 

You don't need to pray dude. Just be optimistic and we will be fine. We are still above $9000 so that is a clear sign that we are going further away from the last bottom price and the bearish market will soon come to an end.

So I don't think that this is another bull trap, because the price keeps on fluctuating and not going on a downtrap spiral about recovering above $9000. So no need to worry and I'm seeing that the $10K barrier might be broken this month so just continue to monitor the market but don't just get excited, you might push the sell button. Lol.

With all the goods news around the blockchain community/crypto world lately, one can only be hopeful the btc crosses to the 11k price range in may and starts a bull run in the market and sets this as a precedence for altcoins.

It depends on the news on May, if there's still a lot of bad news like the problem that happen to MEW happen again, im afraid this May still have the possibility to bring market into bull trap. But if no any bad news, market will go to bull run or at least keep stable.

Accoring to TA predictions we can expect bull market till the end of May, but I don't really trust those analysis. I think we'll see several small pumps and dumps during the months, and most likely the market will remain more or less on the same level as now.

Market is bullish now, and I think grow will continue till the end of May/start June. Then must starts a next correction. But no one can say how it actually will be.

A lot of news should be on May. Conferences, different meetings, but I do not think that this will greatly affect the market cryptocurrencies. A small height is possible, and later correction.

 start  the Mastering Ethereum open Source book. Whereas the previous bull run was largely based on ...... The Bull run if it occurs, will happen from May.

I think it is a bull run. The company in cryptocurrency slowly starta move and recovers it loss from the previous period,which is great because they can cover up all loss they obtained in previous period.
