Bitcoin Forum

I've been keeping up with Bitcoin and investing for the past year, and Im wondering if anyone thinks it will drop back down to 6 - 6.5k in the upcoming months?
 I've read a lot of projections and there is a mixed consensus but several "vets" agree it's due for a big drop.
What does everyone think?

All could happen in an unexpected way, but for now I think bitcoin has the potential to rise further by the end of this year.

I really don't think that 2018 is ready to see a huge dump yet again. Because the recent market conditions project nothing but the move towards breaking the barrier of $10,000. And I don't know what projections are you talking about, because what I've heard since morning is that the next few months in the crypto market are going to be very good for the investors as bitcoin is all set to give us a new ATH. However, nothing can be said for this market in advance, nobody knows what will happen in the future.

P.S.: I really hope that the downfall in the prices doesn't hit up the market now when the conditions have started improving a bit!!

For me, even we are experiencing now a moderately decreasing, I think that in the end there will we a bullish run happen before 2018 will end. I believe that bitcoin has a great potential and it can meet or reach it's highest peak but still while we are waiting for the upcoming bull run there will be some difficulties that we will possible to experiencing. However, I think that there is nothing to be worry to that because I know and I believe that btc will make it's biggest movement which is a bullish thing.  

By the end of the year if there is no bad news, then most likely bitcoin will pick up another 3-5 thousand in price and will cost about 13-16 thousand dollars

once we go +12k we never go back so bullish ofcourse we just need +12k and we almost got it

It is possible that bitcoin could go back to that value since bitcoin is volatile. But that is just a possibility and at a low percentage since the charts are telling us something. If we look at the charts the value of bitcoin will even surge up to 12k$ this may if it will not go down back to 8700$. But I do believe that it is possible that we can break the 10k$ value this may and we can go back to 20k$ or more this coming december.

It is possible. But I am very optimistic for the upcoming months as I see it already reached $10,000 today. Furthermore, I wasn't surprise of it's price today, the market is majority looking green. Looking forward for the bitcoin to push the popularity again in cryptocurrency world.

If you already owned bitcoin, then continue to hodl it until the corrections will made. We still have many more challenges and hindrance before we can reach the peak.

I don't think its due for a big drop but some correction before price can break $10k is possible so if you are planning to buy some more bitcoin than don't buy right now but if you haven't bought bitcoin before than you should have some and keep some in fiat to buy at lower price if there will be dump.

When you want to trade bitcoin you always have to keep rotating your hand between crypto and fiat. Hold might not always work...

I would not see bitcoin will dump again, bitcoin will keep increase until few years ahead although when correction still happen but that's not a thing that should be worry about, that's normal thing. And the price is impossible to reach again. Bitcoin will uncase its flag in the high pole.

As such its pretty difficult to predict these things, though i personally feel that things will be more bearish, primarily because you still have so many absolutely worthless tokens on the market. There is what now some 1600 cryptocurrencies as per coin market cap, most of which are dead/ fraudulent or have no use case apart from helping their founders raise money through the ICO. I feel that a purge of these coins are necessary, and only once that has happened would i feel markets have truly corrected. (this naturally will result in a pretty catastrophic correction of the entire market for a while before you have another new cycle begin. That being said im not planning on selling my BTC because well impossible to predict this stuff.
 
But in such a scenario you'd only want to be holding Bitcoin cause almost all the ALTS will experience a massive crash.

People talk about the fact that ICOS have raised nearly 13 billion or so over the last year. Yet they forget that most of this has been raised in cryptos and has not yet been cashed out, When these ICO tokens attempt to cash  out they might find that there isnt enough liquidity. Ether here would be particular vulnerable. For example EOS has supposedly raised nearly 5% of the entire ether supply, so what happens to ether when they try to cash that out. This of course is assuming they arent just recycling already raised funds via their ICO.

Again all this makes one feel that the alt bloodbath and purge will be massive, and will drag the entire market down with for a while. Again why you'd want to be holding only bitcoin in this scenario.

Of course this does not change the long term (over 5-10 yeas) bullish trend for Bitcoin.

You need to be very positive and the we have already experience this in 2017 how in couple of months the price rose. So only 4 months have passed in 2018 and btc is nearing 10k now and in next 8 months it can easily move 10k more so overall 20k could be happening soon in this year.

we all know how the game works, right? sometime it grows sometime drop down. anything can be happen actually, but i believe if it drops it wont drops that much low at all. but my view says, it will rise more.

Were in stable market now,and within this q2'theres no dip happening instead we will going for gold now..the market has been bearish for almost four months mow,thats why i am sure we will be heading to the moon now..

Its volatility that whats makes the market ups and downs..and yes it wont be back without good explanatin
Agaij

the only thing that is certain that at this point there is no reason for that kind of drop. with things that we can see NOW we can speculate that price will be above $10k in less than a month and in the upcoming months price can be back to $15k levels.
the future unexpected incidents are not predictable so we do not use them in our speculations. we may see something happen and cause a drop to that low price or we may see something else happen and cause a rise to $100k!

give us the links to these "vets"! just because some random idiot is one the internet making guesses doesn't mean they are worth listening to. there are a lot of idiots saying price will fall down to $1000 and there are a lot of other idiots saying price will rise to $500000. stop wasting your time reading what idiots say :P

Definitely bullish. Just look at the graphs from earlier years. The only thing keeping the value so low rn is all the FUDs.

bullish year for me i think.. the market now well, still rising and i think struggling to reached $10k -$15k this year.. i hoped it will happen soon, but its hard to say, but lets see what will happen next few weeks, maybe there's a possibility to reached that..

The Bearish period is winding  off gradually, as Bitcoin is moving gradually to $10,000, I feel strongly that the correction is over, and BTC  will hit $20,000 aT The peak of  the bullish period in 2018.

It is definitely a bullish year, as all others. If bullish means that bitcoin's price will be higher on 31st December 2018 then it was on 1st January 2018.

in my opinion, bitcoint will not go down, see the current condition bitcoin will continue to rise and rise, people around the world buy bitcoin much, do not hesitate, bitcoin will give you a profit

I think bitcoin will soon start traveling up the price again, and to return again in 6.5k it's very difficult for now, and I do not expect that to happen.

I think for the next few months bitcoin prices will increase rather than decrease.
Just like the year before it, there is no mistaking her trying to invest in bitcoin within the next few months.

You can't really say, it depends on the community how they choose to accept it or vice versa..

For me that in spite of both bearish and bullish are spreading in everyday news in which its just make the listeners like us to be more confused to which is with more possibilities then better we will wait and see because for me nothing can truly predict the Bitcoin movement but only the big whales in which lucky enough if you have a connections of some of them so that you could be able to ride whenever they pump and dump the value.

Well we actually can’t predict the market. But the price stream is on the rise for couple of weeks. And sign shows that it’s gonna maintain the flow longer. Yeah we can’t tell surely, but market should reach 10k pretty soon.

everything i read so far says 2018 will be bullish for btc. the only bearish are people which are heavily invested against btc succeeding.

though i personally feel that things will be more bearish, primarily because you still have so many absolutely worthless tokens on the market. There is what now some 1600 cryptocurrencies as per coin market cap, most of which are dead/ fraudulent or have no use case apart from helping their founders raise money through the ICO. I feel that a purge of these coins are necessary, and only once that has happened would i feel markets have truly corrected

Started bearish but is now currently gaining momentum for another bull run. At around $9,300 right now, it is still considered a bargain.

Mainly bearish as it is largely Millenials investing at present and they are strapped for cash compared with other generations.

6.5k is a realistic possibility. Some expert traders that I personally know told me that we will likely go to 6.5 if btc doesn't hold above 9k for a few more weeks...lets see what happens. I am personally rooting for the bull period  :D

The bearish market of Bitcoin which started around the third week of January this year seems to be ending as noted around second week of April and the reversal has stood since then. I believe that the trend will continue for some time.

The value of bitcoin in early 2018 has been greatly affected by the bad news. But bitcoins are getting better at the moment, but the bad news is over. I think this time is the time that the value of bitcoin will grow  re backward. With such growth rates, I think prices continue to rise and 2018 is still a great year for bitcoin.

I dont think that the price fall of bitcoin is because of the bad news , because we all know that most of the news are  just only fake or a hoax. majority of people wont get easily affected thru it.  anyways,  i guess the real reason why bitcoins price had drastically fall  because of the less demand that it gets from the public and also , most of the people or some whales were selling out their coins because they maybe cashless or badly needs money for a valid reason.

After a bearish start I think we are in for the bullish end of year. I think we will go sideways for a few more months and experience an alt season before btc goes on a bull run and new ATH before the end of the year.

I agree

the general sentiment is bullish and it is completely obvious from the market also. you can simply see it on the graphs. for the time being it is not the same bullish movement that we always know which is rising big in a short term. it is a different type of bullish with a slower rise and a lot of FUD and uncertainty because there are a lot of newbies who expect price to always rise fast and big.

i think it has slim chance for bitcoin to back at 6k because it was the lowest point.
for now, the market seems still bullish and will get more green later.

Yes, there is a mixed opinion from the experts and some of them are predicting million for Bitcoin and some of them say, it will fail with a big bang. However, as far as my observation is concerned, I believe that Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are here to stay but there will be a volatile environment for some more time because we are still in the early phase of the development. I am optimistic about Bitcoin in the long run but we have a long way to go in terms of development.

I'm bullish all year round on bitcoins and I always will be, bitcoins is rising and always will be rising that's the core of bitcoins. Look at 6K and suddenly today 9k in matter of few days, it's unbelievable. For me 20k is a achievable target in the coming months, and I'm sure all we need is one good bull run.

It can be said that the crypto market in 2018 is very difficult to predict, opening a crisis that has wiped out many predictions about a good future of crypto before.In light of the current situation, I think the btc price will drop to over $ 8k, while the price can be recovered is still an unanswered question.

Though first quarter of 2018 was not so good. There was a high bearish trend we have seen. But it turns back from the beginning of second quarter. And still it is in positive trend. And I am hopeful that it will continue in the remaining months of 2018.

Id say im bearish short to medium term. I don't think the correction is over to be honest. Still allot of weak hands in the market from the highs we saw in January. I think a drop below 6k is needed to flush them out to see a new cycle come into play. The market seems to be in limbo at the moment.

So is it really safe to invest in Bitcoins?

I am a beginner in trading, and I often find the term bullish and bearish, I do not understand the term, is anyone willing to explain to me, is it bullish and bearish? and what is the effect on price movements?

thank you

the possibility of returning at a price of 6.5k is not possible because bitcoin has tried to increase resistance at 10k and its volume is increasing ..
from the fundamental aspect of bitcointalk.org forum is always popping up new ico project .. I predict bitcoin will go back up in june or july until the end of december later .. ;D

I think you missed the window when it dropped to 6k$ this year. I don't see it making a dip to that level again for this year. The only movement envisaged from now is the upward trend; bullish!

the bearish market will end, so it is not possible bitcoin down to 6k again. and after the correction ends, then the bullish market will come.

bitcoin will only fall slightly, and then at the end of mei will rise slowly to10k.

this year will be a bullish market.

Has Bitcoin any garantees in case of emergency sitiations? What if this is fake?

Only time can tell whether it's fake or not. But if/when regulations set in then Bitcoin will do much more than it's doing now.

For now I think the bitcoin will not go down in the price of 6k anymore, and the current price is time to go up.

I don't know, it's still very hard to say. April was a good month for Bitcoin, but it's hard to say it will continue to grow from here. For the long term I do believe it's a good investment, but since you are just talking for 2018, I would say that is just short term, since bitcoin still has a long way to run. I'm only confidant that bitcoin has resumed it's bullish trend, once it crosses the $12k mark again. Nothing is granted of course, but it will sure be a good sign for 2018, if that happens.

There are a lot of things you have to look out for before investing in anything and the same goes for Bitcoin. At the moment the demand for Bitcoin is up and there are a lot of investors eager to buy. However, several bans and fraudulent individuals have caused some hindrance. It makes little more sense to buy now since Bitcoin is down my estimate is that it will go up by the end of the year or at least in few years time. Overall, with investing you just have to know not to put all eggs in one basket Bitcoin might seem to be going up but it's not the only currency on the market. Read up before you invest and your intuition will never go wrong.

I think the downfall of bitcoin will recover soon and bitcoin will show its biggest movement within a very short period because the price is increasing. Though in a slow motion but I believe bitcoin has the potential to rise further by the end of this year and it is a bullish thing.

Majority of the crypto analyst forecast that bitcoin would be bullish in the   end of 2018  some says it will hit 50k$ other said 75k,$ but in reality we dont exactly know what would be the faith of bitcoin price in the end of 2018 but with the continued growth of  its users and investors it seems bitcoin will be bullish when 2028 ends.

I have the same feelings, unfortunately.

We have seen how much volatile the bitcoin has become, but we all hope that at the end of this year it will get a fair amount of price. After researching I think bitcoin will not go that low from this moment and surely it will rise in future. 

No one now can say how it will be, it's all fortune telling on the coffee grounds.
Honestly, I would like to see bitcoin in 2018 lateral movement. This option is quite possible. It is necessary to give the chance to the altcoins to recover.

until now all prices are still down since the beginning of the year. but no one can predict how the price until the end of this year hopefully there will be a surprise and the price will exceed last year. I hope it

It’s been a very dull year for cryptos so far because the prices just keep going up and down since December and those who invested after December haven’t really made an profits at all. We are just going to be hopeful that it starts going up soon enough.

I do not think that it will drop to $6.5 K now. You will see many corrections in coming months before it reaches $20k again. But it should not go below $6000.

Interestingly, the prices have declined a little in last few days and you may wait for some time before investing. If I was at your place, I would have already purchased.

do not worry, bitcoin will not fall to 6k. you should know that bitcoin theory is created to always rise every year.

Big investors like Tommy lee still calm to faced the bear market, he still holds bitcoin. because he knows that bitcoin in this year will rise high to 50K, and create the bull market.

Well the price of bitcoin right now is now at $8000+ and it seems like the price won't go down any further. I believe the price of bitcoin will increase its price before the end of 2018 because it is slowly recovering again

my prediction is bear market till Q2-Q3. History is cyclical, which means that after bear markit comes bullish market

so far so bearish :) I'm waiting when really strong bullish trend comes though, by the end of the year for sure, then we will see the new heights in bitcoin and alts prices.

Writing anything against raising the price in bitcoin is like keeping your head in the guillotine and hoping that it will be unscathed. However, from time to time you need to do what needs to be done. Therefore, at the risk of ruffling a few feathers among enthusiasts bikoyunov and convinced supporters, I will give my two cents about why the last rally in bitkoyne looks bubbly. Only time will tell whether my argument proves right or flat on his face, similar to those proclaimed by legendary investors.

There is nothing to worry about even though no one can predict the price of bitcoin, there maybe a bullish run before 2018 ends.

Yes the market is still growing and I think this year it has struggled to reach $ 10K - $ 15K I assumed it will happen soon but it is hard to say but time will show what will happen next few weeks maybe there is an opportunity to achieve this.

Bitcoin is definitely bullish as tgere hasn't been a major decrease in price bit it's gradually increasing at a slow phase. It will definitely have a higher base point by the end of this year as long as the holders are patient and panic selling is not practiced.

The Bitcoin course began to grow again on Saturday, May 19, 2018. However, the current growth rate of the crypto currency can not be called confident. Bitcoin last month lived up to the optimistic expectations of investors, as a result of which the bearish trend was replaced by a bullish trend.

Of course everyone would be obviously bullish about bitcoin although this year was really a struggle because we have bottom to $6500. However, there are signs that we are slowly recovering, even going as high as $10K before another price correction and now the price seems to hover above $8K.

As for the predictions, we all know how volatile this market is, some of the predictions may actually happen but majority will be a miss for sure. However, I'm a investors so I will remain bullish and we may see bitcoin hitting more than $20K at the end of the year.

I don't think we will see bitcoin go back to $6,000. We've been there so that's basically enough for itself to recover.
What will be the "big" drop they are expecting? Did we already have the biggest drop for the entire bitcoin history and it's because of the FUDs and statements that came out from various economy experts?
I'm bullish on bitcoin as long as it stands on $8,000.

Things are about to get exciting on the 2nd half of 2018. Just waiting for the market to break the 5-digit barrier. Once it hits $10,000...it’s off to another record breaking run for bitcoin.

I think that in 2018 bitcoin will be bullish, especially by the end of the year :)

neutral. range bound. i think 6k was likely the low and if it's re tested one of two situations will happen. a fake out to 5500 or so that gets everyone short and turns on a dime or a 2014 repeat situation where were are at btc 4k around christmas. i do not find evidence to support the 2014 repeat. the 2017 run was much smaller at 2000% and we did not have the only major exchange blow up like they did back then.

6 to 11.7k is my guess. people need to be shook out. i'm digging the increase in profit mining vs the low of this year. fewer people selling hashing power or mining outright. i would like to see it stay a bit bearish for a time. let people build up a supply for a year or so before the uptrend begins again. market needs to consolidate. ideally the lightning network gets ironed out before 2020. that could start a MAJOR rally which would put 50-100k in the cards especially when you consider the halving

no, 2014 was worse. in 2014 we had an 80% drawdown. so far we have only hit 70% off the 2017 high

however. 2014 was the worst year in bitcoin history. mt gox blew up. REAL fud was everywhere.

I do not really know where the bitcoin price is because I see this year has not created a very good moment most likely there will be a very good moment at the end of the year and make the price rise to be very expensive.

this crypto industry is really volatile, sometimes you will get the result that really unexpected. bullish and bearish think is the part of bitcoin, many factors influence both events, such as news spread by mainstream media, government decisions, and whales that continue to control the market. if you ask whether bitcoin will experience a very deep decline this year, it is obviously very possible, but it should also be calculated also what percentage of the possibility of it happening. and do not forget when there is a possibility of falling prices means we should not turn a blind eye that there is a possibility the price will rise higher.

We can not really control, determine and stabilize the price of bitcoin which makes its negative aspects. But of course, we are still hoping that its price may rise this year and continue to rise.

bitcoin will not drop below 7k in the next few months. Mostly during the summer of each year, Bitcoin prices will increase sharply until the end of the year. so i suggest you to hold and wait

Growth in the summer will be, and it needs to be caught, because also in the summer there will be a big correction, because most people go on holidays in summer and the activity in the market of crypto-currency will decrease significantly.

Though the market prediction for the year 2018 will be very good and bullish but the year till to day it looks bearish .Its popularity is
considerably increasing and day by day more people are attracted to it. The global educated people are aware of its useful characteristics .Now the first quarter of the financial year is on going and possibly  the second quarter  or the third quarter the market may come to the bullish trend.for the year 2018.

Still a close one but comparing the both from two different heights the biggest lost for many is from the recent one.
And what's new today? I guess Mt.Gox has never got out of the issue and is still remaining involved from the current bear market that we are with.

the bottom has been confirmed, the market currently looks stable between $ 7.5k to $ 8.5k, and we have reached the end of May. If the market continues to show a positive trend, I think we'll get closer to All time high, although it's less likely to take on new all time high, but the chances still remains ::)

im hope the price will rises soon as the market for cryptos are look like to be establish again. hope we will see the $10k milestones are reach again this year.

Bitcoin is very potential, maybe it will increase even more

overall the action suggests to me that although money has come out of bitcoin, money is still going into crypto assets if you want to get super bullish blockchain you should read a naval ravikant's i tried to paste in some twitter code. but it did not work correctly. naval characterizes humans as the networked species. money is a network, religon is a network, electricity is a network. Networks need rules. if one person writes the rules, then that person is basically its king. merit is irrelevant and barries to entry are high. if a corporation owned a network.

Here we go. Already down to 7.4K USD and dropping down further. I think your wish has just got granted by bitcoin lord. Lolz.

Never thought that this will ever happen again after the up surge was started since this month. This is very disappointing and there is still no concrete reason for what have happened this time. Some says that Chinese group hacked some 5K bitcoin and sold it at the same time and some says that it is just the bearish trap.

Whatever might be the reason but this is surely good opportunity for those missed this kind of dump last to last month.

I've read a lot of projections and there is a mixed consensus but several "vets" agree it's due for a big drop.
What does everyone think. I think a drop below 6k is needed to flush them out to see a new cycle come into play. The market seems to be in limbo at the moment.

there are many phenomena that occur in crypto market this year. I think it is very difficult to predict, especially some of the FUD that spread by the world economic experts or the founder of the central bank.
but I think we should appreciate the bitcoin that is able to survive even though there is always a correction. but able to survive and re-grow after the storm passes.

Is this a joke?) Now 2018 is bearish as hell. Seems like nothing can give a positive impulse to the price.
Or maybe, just like in a dream, we will start bullish run and overcome $10 easily, then I forget this half a year like a nightmare

You will not see Bitcoin being discarded again, Bitcoin will continue to increase until the next few years even though when the correction is still going on but it's not a thing to worry about, it's a normal thing.Yet you think nothing needs to be questioned because you know and you believe Bitcoin will make it the biggest move which is a bullish thing.

I feel bitcoin and others cryptocurrency's value generally will increase, but i dont think it will rise like it rising on 2017, bitcoin will increase a little bit on value, atleast till world goverment have one voice about the future of bitcoin and others cryptocurrency

2018 is still an uptrend of Bitcoin

I do not think it will be reduced again. Bitcoin has its own value and sharks do not have the power to cut down Bitcoin excessively. in Q3 of 2018, things will be a strong rebound. I believe in it because they have been underestimated for so long.

Earlier this year I found the market seems gloomy, but I believe the end of the year Bitcoin will rapidly increase

 Bitcooin is a wonderful blessing which gives lots of income. It is a wonderful blessing that God gave from us that we should keep and be always remind of being grateful about this thing.

2018 will continue to be bearish, and this year has helped us to understand how the cryptocurrency market really works. We have went through multiple hacks on exchanges, 51% attacks on blockchains, Exit scams and more. This year has also filtered out many fake projects and only the real projects has survived and will continue to survive. I would wait for at least 12 months from now to see some real profits.

I think bitcoin will be more or less in side movement
I don't expect big crash but anything can trigger bitcoin price.
It is just to find whatever reason to let price move up
Finally will rise but will be hard to overcome 10500$
Lets wait and see

To be honest I think too btc will not pass 10k price in the 2018.

Bullish it has already begun, we have accumulation time now so soon we can expect massive pump. Bitcoin grows stronger daily. First we see ATH around 30k$ before next bearish.

It might be bearish now but certain that it will be bullish towards the end of the year which is always good performance for most cryptocurrency

Anything could happen with bitcoin's price because of its nature. One snap of a hand and price will change
But i think (the same last year) that bitcoin will be bearish or in crisis this mid year then will rise up greater than december's price this coming december of 2018. I believe so. After reading many articles about it

Currently, positive news is that bitcoin prices are rising. I think the bitcoin price is $ 10k at the end of the year. I am also investing heavily in bitcoin.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Bitcoin can go either way. We know that it is just unpredictable. We can't know for sure where it can go. What about let's just be positive and hope for continuous rise.

2018, for me, will be the deciding factor for bitcoin if it will be a part of our future or not. But taking into account the previous history of bitcoin, I think there's a chance that we will see bitcoin repeat the all time high last year or just close to it.

Now we are in the phase of the market, where we are very short of new injections into the market. Crypto currency is not used in the real world, so to break this trend, we will need very affordable information support, which will make people believe and invest their money. Without increasing trading volumes and introducing into everyday life - our perspectives are very vague

What do you want to impose here?because just couple of weeks ago bitcoin had drops to more than $5,000 and now you wanted to drop at $6,000 again?i see no good logic here,i dont know if you are updated in market flow or not.

But bitcoin will not go to that value again,bitcoin will continue to grow until december and thats for sure according to the price movements

Till date none of the year has experienced a complete bearish or a complete bullish market. It happens simultaneously, and the ongoing year too is no more an exception. From the beginning of the year it was found bullish and in between it went bearish. Once again it has turned to be bullish, and the same could take the price above $20000 before the year end.

Hello everybody. I consider myself not an irreparable optimist, but I think that this year the price for Bitcoin will spoil our nerves. My opinion is that this year there will be something between a bearish and a bullish trend. After such a powerful take-off of the price that we saw last year, I am confident that there will be some calm, but, in any case, the bullish trend will take its own and, perhaps, early next year, be a semblance of the end of 2017. Good luck to all!

I believe not only this year but also years later the growth potential of the crypto market is still huge

I still believe that bitcoin will be an asset that will increase in the coming time. You invest in bitcoin right at the current good price

Maybe towards the tail of 2018, but for now, everything still tends toward the bear angle. This obviously has been a huge bearish year and I am sure no one will need a diviner to tell them that. However, even if we have not reached the bottom yet, it still does not mean there is still no chance in the long run. It may not be this year, it could be next or even the next one, but what counts is knowing that there are always these two phases in the market, and sticking with your strategy of either holding long or trading is what anyone should be doing and not panicking even if the potential is not there in 2018.

I still hope that bitcoin will continue to grow in the future

I think the bullish market is still here with us because as we can see, the supposed bull run that we felt lately has gone already as bitcoin plummets down to 6,000$ once again. With the remaining four months before 2018 ends, many are left doubtful if bitcoin can really fully recover from that span of time left while others believe that the bullish market will start at the final quarter of 2017 too.

I am optimistic and confident about Bitcoin for a long time but I am confident that the current time has not shown signs of price increase

There is a huge chance that it will be part of our future because there are a lot of people in different countries who are investing on cryptocurrency and they are considering bitcoins as a currency.

That has been pretty much the floor of bitcoin for a long time, and we are right now at those ranges again so if what you are looking for is the perfect opportunity to enter in this market I think that you found it, I know that people would like to get an even better price and maybe you could have the chance if you wait for long enough, but the price below 6k does not last that long at most a few days and if you are not putting attention to the market at that time you will miss the chance.

No matter what this year throw to us, i am still applying what i learned from others. To buy during the fall of prices and to sell when the price is high. So with that, a bullish or bearish market is always ok for me as long as bitcoin will always be there.

It is hoped that the price of bitcoin will not be priced by the sharks anymore under the control of a nation

Me too hope the same thing for price changes can be like last year. but up to mid-year. there is no increase too high?
bitcoin market is more often experiencing price declines. could it be bearish this year? I hope recover prices will happen soon.

Bitcoin is not doubt a online currency, but in current time most of the people are investing money in bitcoin only for the purposes to make money from it. In fact bitcoin is in its early stage and that is the reason that people are joining bitcoin and which cause the price to fluctuate more and give good profit to bitcoin investors. And traders.

It looks like we are going to see their bearish trend up to the end of the year and there's no enough push from the investors and speculators to say that we are out of the woods. On the contrary, the ETF news put bitcoin on another price decline. The postponement made the price plummet again so it looks like we really need to brace ourselves and expect no drastic price movement up to the end of the year.

Seems to me a positive possibility in all probability is perfectly passable despite past performance :)

Short term I would say a breakout is a possible and we can easily be alot more positive then now.   Thats all thats needed for some accumulation towards year end from this point.   Im not sure whether to say we will rise higher from the point in Jan 2018 and so make this is a positive year.  
However people generally overreact to pullbacks and focus too much on just moments rather then the transition and evolution that helps in BTC protocol as it passes through the years, both the code, the network its development and usage in a population.

  Really the potential usage by a population is the most important part to any price, I dont consider 2018 as negative as some might because of just the price.   They fixed fees so BTC developers get a salute from me and its being useful to people stuck in countries with no usable access to reliable banking, its doing some good in the world and what more can we really hope for then a product that works and helps people

Yeah, here we are again in the 6Ks and even heading towards the 5Ks again. This isn't something we have not witnessed before. Always remember that when there is this kind of sharp decrease, there will be also an equally sharp increase in price in return so you just have to hodl some coins and wait for some time now. Trying to follow the market will make you go bankrupt.

The price might reduce to $6k dollars again but it was a good news because people can still invest a huge amount in order to earn more profit when the market prices pumps up.

And you have learned well, there are many persons that are incredible dependent on the bull market for profits and when it does not come they give up on cryptocurrencies and then they regret not being in the market when the actual bull market appears, this is a phase in the market and it does not matter how long it lasts at some point it is going to end because the technology of bitcoin has gotten better and it is about to get even better, and when it does, people will regret not buying at the cheap prices of today.

Exactly what investors think right now for they are to make huge profit that is why they are holding their coins and looking for further investment because the conditions are more favorable for them. The price has dropped more to 6126 US dollar right now and this is highly affordable price for investors can easily buy a lot of coins with this rate which will make them able to attract maximum profit in bull market.

It's obviously a bearish 2018, we can expect this since the previous year is totally a hyped, t just seems to long before it recovers or it doesn't even do on being in bear movements.

The market is bearish right now but just keep on  holding your coins because it will still recover soon just like what happened last year in december when bitcoins reached $19k dollars.

Possible and its happening right now, bullish or bearish year? every year it was both like that there are months for a torture bear market where you can see your whole portfolio soaking with blood and minuses do not forget those posters saying bitcoin is dead and bubble every dip and there is a bullish period where you can say its mooning cycle of the cryptocurrency as they've said.

for now bitcoin in 2018 will never be able to predict again many traders are confused about this bitcoin price movement. and the current price of bitcoin is very terrible.

This 2018 is a bearish year. There is no doubt about that. The $30k and $50k predictions are impossible to happen right now. No altcoins can even manage to back to their ICO prices right now. I also don't see a great improvement in 2019 if ever the SEC declines the ETF in the future. So good luck on the HODL guys.

Well indon't think you can seriously stick to any predictions in the first place. Many people look yo charts and graph analysis but for me, it's not that often that it will give you an accurate figure. A lot of people have ended up disappointed with these predictions.

We've rotated at this price a second time and we haven't dropped below $6k and I think this is a low point for the price of bitcoin, you can use it to buy, the price in this position is always a turning point because after that the price will rise again and it looks like the price has started to go green again, I hope it will continue. actually we cannot predict for sure this year will be bearish or bullish, lets see and hope bull trend will come

Cannot judge the market according to the current situation,  because unexpectedly the price goes down at the same time again it started to increase. We are almost in the last quarter of this year, still the price is in fluctuations only. So in 2018 we cannot expect the bullish market. But at the same time it will not bearish. Like now the price will goes up and down only. We cannot expect high growth in this year.

Holding of coins is a better decision in current conditions of the market which are cheap for investor to find a good time. We cam collect a lot of Bitcoins and that is true for our maximum and huge profit for which we are waiting since long. This bearish trend will over in the next few months and we have to prepare our selves for that time when we get success for which we have to buy as much as we can.

We do not need luck we only need to hold for long enough to get profits, that is the beautiful thing about holding your coins, with other ways to make money out of the market like trading you need to keep up to date with everything that is happening around the coin in which you invested in order to try to gain the slightest edge over your competitors, but the holder only has to do one thing to select one coin and hold it and that is pathetically easy since the best coin to hold is bitcoin and everyone knows it.

Yes that is right that up to now we are facing a bearish market but very soon the bearish trend going to finish and the we will enjoy a bullish market which will hopefully continue for a long time, may be tell the price reaches to 20000$ again.

The market is not rushed now. All sensual decisions lead to failure. Our job now should be to wait and get involved in other tasks. Do not focus on charts, give value to the community. Play more meaningful.

bullish or bearish could happen when there is good news that can make cryptocurrency prices and bitcoin prices rise because if there is no good news then it will be very difficult to increase prices because no one will buy bitcoin if bitcoin cannot provide benefits.

I think Bitcoin prices may continue to fall for a while because many investors have started panicking sales, and when they see hope, Bitcoin will start to land on the moon!
