Bitcoin Forum

Networks are becoming congested.
Gas prices have increased.
Exchanges have increased their withdrawal fee.
The prices of bitcoin, ethereum and some other altcoins are gradually increasing.
Does it now mean that bull run for this year is imminent?

We might possibly have bull run in couple of months time. Although, there have been lot of speculations, but no one is perfectly sure what the exact time would be. I am just optimistic that just a little little can instigate the bull run.

Seems like the whales are in action.
But the bull run depends on how capable they are to drive and how easily others follow.
Because bull run can't be possible from limited number of investors and without the entry of new ones.

Current market is green and price slowly increase, it's a good signal for market recover, but I don't think it's a sign of bull run, I think we still need to wait again, if whales really in action, marketcap will faster increase, just like last year

as works on anchoring use with ones on priors as appealing excess with beginning initiation to run within limit of template with the framework, investors to keep as stands within limit of exchange to returns of excess as noticing extras as might on goes to dispute with one on decision with the following of expends as releasing spares with resource on force.

This years bull run will be a lot different than last years. First, most of the newbs that joined last year did so just for the HYIP and lending craze, those are gone now (mostly). Second, banks and corporations are aligning themselves with crypto projects in a systematic approach that will not have the same impact on the market because these will be company purchases, not market trading. Third, the CMC and CBOE futures markets will suppress the prices as long as possible.

Look at this tweet and you will understand why bitcoin has now given growth. I'm not sure that this is a market reversal and we will see a long-term move up. Most likely soon we will return to positions below 6,000 dollars.

Judging by the recent BTC dynamics, there is indeed a sense that the bull market will come. But this may also be a bait thrown by the whales, so at this time we should all remain vigilant. We should always keep track of the market's development and not miss the opportunity, but we should not invest it lightly.

Currently the market showing green signal. But for several months it has gone through severe bull run. Many experts are analyzing what causes this phenomena. Many have different opinions. Among them the most popular one is because of the big Whales.

a huge buy order and volume in btc also appear it may seem to be a bullrun, but i am afraid that it is just a bull trap for an upcoming dip on the ghost month. be cautious!

It might be a bullrun but somebody bought 87,000 bitcoin in a single block this would be the strong support if it doesnt dump whales are accumulating bitcoins at the moment , be patient this is the start of the bullrun hopefully.

with the today upmove we have broken the down trend in the crypto market. Maybe the bear market has ended now and we start entering a bull market  ;D

This moment we should expect some good bull run because many peoples are said this month Bitcoin is going to moon. So we should wait and see the results and I hope this green market is continue in future. May be some fluctuation is possible but we believe the crypto it will raise soon.

It could be. No one can actually tell what causes the declining of market. It can be for one reason or can be for several reasons also. Some says big whales are manipulating the market. At the end we all have to consider that the market of crypto is like this. It will rise again and fall again.

For me the most positive sign is that the recent dip didn't really fall past the bottom of the big dip earlier this year. There seems to be a lot of resistance to further price drops, which should calm any remaining jitters in the market.

Bull run of the market is not that effective at present. A small price pumping has taken place, with which the market capital has increased to some extent and has made it flourish with the green days beginning. Each and everyone hopes for the best, and the reality is yet to be confirmed.

Yes, the trader usually like to choose when to buy and when to sell depending on the season. In July, we can see much expectation regarding a market reversal.

We expect market conditions to be green. But keep in mind do not act reckless and careless. Mature prediction is required. If indeed this will continue to happen then will not escape the price correction that will occur in some time to come.

Bullrun will happens if "real investors"are putting their money inside crypto and not this whales that only making the market moves just to attract investors and when they have invested the market will dump and the whales takes their profit.

But am happy seeing greens in the prices things that has been denied for how many months now

Crypto trading requires very cautious behavior in the market. More important news and reasons are needed to reverse and change the trend.

It's hard to tell.  One thing that I am worried about is that there is so much anticipation for the next bull run that we all might collectively end up screwing it up.

For example, higher volume and congestion on networks and blockchains drive transaction prices up, which exchanges compensate for by increasing withdrawal fees.
As people are overly eager to take advantage of opportunities, this flooding of the market will cause more strain and the result being a lot of frustrated traders "cooling off".

I see it as a black friday type situation (the day after thanksgiving in America were there are a lot of sales and people make a mad rush to shop for christmas).
Everyone is waiting outside and excited.  Once the doors to the store open, there is a mass rush of people through the doors.
Obviously, not everyone can make it to the deals on time and a lot will end up regretting their decision to do the whole black friday thing to begin with and decide not to participate.

Might be a strained relation, but bull runs are better when it is more steady growth rather than huge spikes.

I'm thinking this might be a situation like last April, a kind of "mini bull run".

In the crypto market is always a lot of surprises, hope is a thing we will always want. That's true, the crypto market is now up by a few percent, bitcoin leaving $ 5900 in 2 days. But I think this is not the end of the downtrend, we will feel the next downtrend and we have to be prepared with the situation.

Why, it is my opinion that since the crypto-currency world will soon rise up, there have been periods when I close with about thirty percent gain after seeing these levels in the recent past.

This happens not for the first time. And such situations already took place not a long time ago - whole april were signs to bull run. But... :-\
Maybe this is another trap for those who is waiting to bulls. You know, every bear today will change to bull tomorrow if he will see more and more bulls ;D

some people agree and believe that the bull will come, but I doubt it and maybe this is just a temporary pump. stay patient and do not rush.

I think today was some speculation move that resulted in a significant pump because it was without any reasons. There were no volumes for such a high pump. That is why I think we should be very careful now with trading. More likely we will see a slight roll back in the upcoming time. But definitely, we will see a bull run soon. I would actually wait for Ethereum to roll back to 430-450$ and buy it.

I didn't noticed that the fees were high again now. Like what happened last December 2017 the fees were high and everyone is crying about it.

It had a resemblance with the fees before when bitcoin is on ATH. I don't want to say that this is the sign of the bull run.

I just want a bull with low fees.

I hope the price still get to increase.This is a great opportunity for the investors to invest in this field

I am not expecting any bull run now like previous one (last year), the market has changed a lot.
According to me there is high saturation in the market now which is in fact good for market and cryptocurrency users, now it will be quite difficult to create pumps in a short period of time.

The present market dynamics seems to be different from the previous. Although, it might look like, but this is not a sign of bull run. Bull run might still come, but first, we need stability in the market.

I can't say that it is a sign of bull run it is too early to tell let us wait for more corrections,hopefully it will continue to inrease the price in the market.

These are some good observations I agree to this. This shows how the market is getting ready for the next bull run and how everyone is fitting up to make the most of it.
I am still not very sure about if we are really close to bull run, however, I still expect to see a new ATH before EOY. All we can do is hope!!  :D

I hope so :)). We have been in this terrible time for months and I think this is time for us to get out of this downward trend. At the moment although price of BTC and ETH don't increase so much but I think it's a little bit to help investors and traders don't become panic sellers :). Waiting to see BTC reach to $50k in this year :))

it is possible, and we can make this as hints for the possible things that might happen in the market, but let's just hope that its prices will continue to increase.

Yes, today I tried to list my tokens on the IDEX exchange and despite the fact that I decently increased the number of gas, the transaction hung for almost a day. Apparently the networks are really overloaded.
There are also many signs that the crypto currency, and above all bitcoin, will soon be submitted to bull races. It can even happen in the next few weeks. About. This is also evidenced by the behavior of bitcoin in the last few days. Contrary to the forecasts that bitcoin will fall, and significantly - up to $ 2,000, bitcoin, on the contrary, has risen from less than $ 6,000 in the last few days to the current rate of $ 6,583. Maybe he is really preparing for a good growth?

Well, let's see some facts:

Bitcoin Transaction Rate (https://www.blockchain.com/charts/transactions-per-second?timespan=1year&daysAverageString=7)

We can see that the transaction rate is still low compared to 2017: 2,1 to 2,3 transactions/second are coming through. There is a very slight increase with respect to April (the 1-year-low, about ~1,8-1,9) but it's still far below the values recorded in 2017, even in the early months of the year. Segwit allows 4-7 tx/s, so Bitcoin is far away from being "congested" at this moment.

So I guess you refer to Ethereum - but there a congestion and Gas price increase is only logical, due to the popularity of ETH as a platform for ICOs which are bloating the blockchain. (If this chart (https://etherscan.io/chart/gasprice) is correct, it may be however a short-term spike.)


Well, they are at a very low level still, albeit it seems that a short-term bottom has been reached.
My personal conclusion is no. I would like to believe that the $6000 area was the bottom for Bitcoin in this year, but there is still too much capital "sunk" in totally inflated tokens and clone-coins that will never succeed. There was already some market shakeout, but I guess the shakeout will continue some time more.

Bitcoin may not fall much with respect to the low of $6000 (I guess $5000 is a good mark, with a likely short-term drop down to $3000 at most) but most altcoins - and above all, "tokens" - will still continue to fall.

Demand is increasing but the thing about the fees, are they really that high? I don't think that transactions are high as of today. It's lite and quick so that's why bitcoin transactions are better than ETH today.

Many says before that ETH is faster and cheaper than bitcoin transactions but you can't stand with that statement about it. The bull run hasn't been seen so far so if this is just a sign of the bull run, wait for it until bitcoin and other altcoins goes all time high.

I think it is. Another bull run is set to come up and it can be this year. If they exchanges are increasing their fees, it only means the demands were getting higher and they are increasing their capability to handle all of the transactions. They are getting ready for something big. Hopefully our assumption will be right for the good of all people who are about to quit crypto.

I believe that these factors do not greatly affect the global trend change, so the market is now in the flat and talking about the rapid growth does not make sense.

we expect so much of the next bullrun but last year we didn't actually did. that is because we it will happen the least we expect. who knows it might take 2 to 3 years before that happen so trade more and accumulate as much as you can before that happen.

This is the first time I encounter the world bullrun, specially here in crypto community. Well, they have a different speculation but the perfect or exact one has not found yet , kind of review or article. Anyway, just be positive and fight a good fight and nice strategy even if there's a big changes in the community specially in market place.

I believe that too but as for now the market is still unstable but i know bull market will come out soon and the price will going to the moon. If there is a lot of sign that bull is running then you need to wait the final decision of market movement as of now buy and buy coins for hodlings.

hahah...i guess so and i hope it stays so because the entire community has been waiting patiently for the bull run of bitcoin to reward cryptopreneurs and investors on their long term investments.

We hope so, but there's no definite indicator if its a bullrun or maybe trap. However seeing green adds morale and confidence to investors, If we can break the momentum way up high it can be a good sign of bullish market meanwhile its very unclear on which direction we were.

This are great signs but no one can really predict the future of crypto and no onee can predict the value of it and I think that is the bad thing here in the industry because you don't know when and how much will the market cost in soon time.

The congestion of the Internet is because the exchange of fcoin is very popular recently, and their regulation of upper currency is very interesting.

The market has indeed started to warm up in recent days, which I believe may be a sign of the pre-bull market.

Bull run will surely come. I don't know when. I don't think that the movements that are living todays is the sign of bull run, i think it's a small trap.

Don't guess the market, you only need to hold it for a long time, and you will get a full return.

OP the price of different fees are good even they high then that's for our fast transaction

Better to not do any transaction if that's really high for you and find a trading site with low fees

Crypto grow and grow daily so don't think negative

Nope how could that be a sign when the truth is only limited transactio happening daily compared to what we had last December when the prices really grow thats why the transactions fee goes high and the speed becomes slower but now i dont see something like that .

And besides its too early to predict ,not unless we will having market that move upward for consecutive weeks then thats the bull run whos will waiting for long time now

You are true that  a lot of feeling expert give speculation/prediction about bitcoin and other currencies price but no exact or even most of them are wrong. Maybe if more new big investors and good new about crypto currencies bull run will start but exact date time and price depends to the people since we are in a open market.

#Support Vanig

Yes same like last year,  the bullish run  will start on July till last year,  and the bearish trend is tired and over.  Bearish trend is should be changed to bullish trend and this is always happen in the all market. I hope this bull run will become reality soon so I can recover loss.

I think personally if, The current market is green and the price is slowly rising, it is a good signal for the market to recover, but I do not think it is a bull run sign, I think we still need to wait again and also We should always keep track of developments market and do not miss the opportunity, but we should not invest it easily.

The possibility is so because I see the market prices from day to day also go up and so hopefully this is a bull run sign and altcoin prices can go up and earn a good profit as many people hold their altcoins and wait for the price back up

I would be pretty happy if it was. But I think the market will take a while until we see the next bull.

I do not understand about the bull run, but if the increase in transaction costs in various markets that is common, gas transactions also sometimes like up and down only we must be smart to see the situation in terms of transactions.

The market has changed, I have been looking forward to it. As an individual investor, I have no ability to drive the market to change the cow. I can only make my own efforts to make the cryptocurrency more than one user. I hope that the big whales will come quickly and the market will need them. Returning again, what we can do is wait.

There are possibility that these are the signs of a bull run. The market has been in a dip for quite a long period of time. And analytics have predicted that the market will improve and will hit an upward trend by the end of this year. The signs are coming but are taking place in a slow pace.

I hope this is the start of the bull trend. The market has been in bear trend for a very long time. Now the market needs quite a lot time mitigate the losses.

All can be,many have long been waiting for growth,and I also hope that there will be growth,and will earn normal profits,and that is how many people were disappointed in the market so as to invest in the project,and it gives those of profits and interest,but rather the bottom is from the IDF and people the fact is that invested work,on the contrary lose money,so I can say one thing,when will the growth we rejoice)

It is too early to make conclusions on that. In May we had total market cap of $450 billion. We have to recover
to that point until early September and that could be a good base for 4Q bullish market.

Well, the signal is green in the market and the price is rising up slowly. It is a sign of the recovery of the market. I think it is the starting of the Bull Run. I think the entire market will recover within the end of 2018.

Every aspects of the crypto market the price in increasing. Price of gas, transaction fees for exchanges, price of bitcoin, ethereum etc. are increasing gradually. This could actually be the bull run for crypto.

I just wish so because we have seen enough of bearish market days and this bear market is really affecting so many things, I just wish this could really be true so that we can see green days once again.

I have seen many these type of bull signs, but it has not continued further again falling. It has to take support at 7500 level, then there might be a chance to go high.

The marketcap seems to be increasing gradually, but that does not mean we are in  and very close yo bull run. There are more phases yet to come before the bull run. We have not fully recovered, it is still the process ofrecovery

Bull run is possible , but I wouldn't count on it . I don't think this things are connected , and can interpreted as a growth markers . Price of bitcoin is growing , but I'm not sure it will surpass 6800 level , this is a strong resistance level and btc will roll down if he couldn't surpass it .

The ETH network congestion is the consequence of something not related to the general crypto market, but I am definitely liking the charts of the last few days. Steady slow growth with minimal consolidations, but its too soon to say for certain that the bull has started.

The bull market is beginning with the cryptocurrency with a lot of positive signals like the increasing rates of all the cryptos on the market. And the bull run will see the fastest increase by the end of 2018, as demand for investment rises. So invest in cryptos right now!

There's possibility that the bull run for this year has started because whenever market correction happen in the crypto currency market bull run usually start at the Q3 of the year but we still need to wait till next week before we can know for sure.

Those are possible signs for the beginning of a bull run. There is an increase in buy volume so we might start seeing more green candles in the comping days.

Hello, i`m new and try to learn, so maybe this is a dumb question, but what means "bull run" ? In one of your reply`s they talk about playing whales,
can you lease tell me also what that means?

Looks like it was a bull run as you predicted. Normally when there' s a long horizontal bull plug, and we see a breakout, then you can be sure you you're going to generate at least a 5% profit within a day. Though will only be against USDT, since all cryptos tend to break out at roughly the same time, with just the amplitude varying.

With all thats been going on, this is very probably true.

The recent bull run from $5800 to today's $6600 was gradual and shows stability. Pretty soon, I would actually not be surprised if we start trading at the above $7000 levels again. The media has run out of FUD and the true value of crypto is now emerging.

It could be but in this case you should be alert at all times coz we don't know when is the next bull run. If the market keeps sideways probably we can see a magic on crypto. The sign of bull run would have made bitcoin to increase so the cryptocurrency craze will be connected as one.

I think this is it..the bull run is starting to move up..because as we can see the price value of cryptos in the market capacity is on going to recover.

bull run could happen late this year, many predict this as the annual cycle. and next year is the price to the moon.
but i can not say this will work well as predicted. Bitcoin always gives surprises. Let's wait and see.

too early to say it. We all look forward to opening the bull season. But it did not start. I hope to start as soon as possible and we can all provide the benefits we are aiming for

This does not in any way signify incoming bullrun. Like they said, the bulls are gonna come like a thief in the night.

That's right and there is a lot of review about what makes ethereum gets another congestion on its blockchain due to the facts there is a lot of spam transaction with high gwei has already inputted in the network. It has no any relationship with the global chart.

There is no guarantee for these four things. But, at least we should have participated and entered the train for the situation. Because bullish is indispensable for bear market crypto from early 2018.

I think personally if, The current market is green and the price is slowly rising, it is a good signal for the market to recover, but I do not think it is a bull run sign, I think we still need to wait again and also We should always keep track of developments market and do not miss the opportunity, but we should not invest it easily.

I hope it is,  but we are already having the April May experience so I would not be so fat rejoicing that the prices got up a little bit. I need one to two weeks in order to get more confidence.

I think we are still away from the bull run. crypto world is in state of misery due to lot of propaganda against crypto currencies due to scammers and hackers

it's great you're paying attention to such minor things.
But to conclude the fact that trend is changing, you should first of all look at major factors, such as good news, technical levels and to volume, of course.

Many people now think that the bull market is coming, but I think the cryptocurrency market needs to continue to fall once or twice. It may be that the bull market will come again at the stage of 5800-5200.

The price must have a rise in this month or August, it has been dropping for such a long time that the market have a correction, and the expected price may hhit $8000

I hope that was signal from bull. But no one know that it was signal for bull or just will drop continue bear. Just keep monitoring cause bull can run anytime even without any sign.

The Bull run is sure to take place soon, date and time cannot be ascertain by anyone, I feel we lacking investors into the crypto space, whales are taking over the space, No need to get disturb as we are sure get into the bull season, the future is sure bright for the space.

Bull run requires a stable growth in the market. Certain rise in the value doesn't mean that bull run is on its way. But, this indicates that market is overcoming bad times within very short period of time. And if this continues, the market will be surely on the high.

it is possible that we shall soon be in a bull run soon because btc and all cryptocoins have seen all their worst days in this year and the market has seen its worst days as well so personally i beleive it is time to go on to the other side of it.The bull run soon.

Yes, it is highly possible that we will see a bull run few months from now. Since the $6500 reversal pricing in btc has been reached we will see some movements in pricing in a couple weeks. It will drive pricing on altcoins on greener candles.

I think we are not there yet, it is more likely to happen a little bit further into the year. Unfortunately bitcoin mega runs will happen next year with us money.

it may be up again because now the market is quite stable in this week may be up at the end of the year as last year's highest peak at the end of 2017.

I am waiting for steady bullish tendencies too long I suppose.  I am still strong believer in cryptocurrencies and big holder of Ethereum. I wouldn’t quit my crypto in any case.

You might be right. We have hit really low prices in the past couple of months so that means that the worse might be behind us, if that is true then the next thing that we should be looking forward to would be the next bull run. We all know that when networks get congested, it means that more volumes of coins are being transacted now which means more demand. Demand is good for the prices.

We have being seeing some uprise in the market for some few days now. It definitely signifies a possible bull trend and we can only hope it last for long.

In recent times market goes well. Everything is alright and price also increasing. So it’s not the situation for sign of/bull run. We need to wait for some times for analysis the situation.

 With the way the market has been behaving these days, its safe to say that we are just about to witness a huge bullish market. I believe it all a sign of new money coming in. Which mean the consolidation is over and it is time to hold your position tightly. Hodl guys the bull are coming.

This means that you are getting less and less money. All of you who are cutting can cut you. You can only hope and wait for growth.

its very tough to tell but the main thing is the price seems good today based on this there is possibility of this bull run based on this the price of crypto might increase also many people are trying to invest more and they are buying this coins at low price so demand is increasing.

It not seems to be the sign of bull run until we are not seeing all this hype (like in 2017) in general social media.

I can not say that it is a bull sign running it too early to say let's wait for a further correction, hopefully, it will continue to increase the price in the market. The current market dynamics seem different from before. Although it might look like that, this is not a bull run sign. The bull run may still be coming, but first of all, we need stability in the market.

I think the bull will come but it takes time and there is a lot of good news happening now lets wait the market to show what is bull run is, everyone is excited on the bull run because we cannot see how price the bitcoin would be on how much it would reach so we must prefer on it collect bitcoin and altcoins everything that it was needed.

it still has some time but it is definitely coming the current market i think is still in bear hope conditions change and hopefully the prices will increase
