Bitcoin Forum

People in the world of cryptocurrency are all hoping, expecting, praying and also wishing that come the end of this year -- December 2019 -- there can be a bull run for both Bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrency market. Sadly, things are not yet picking up and I am not seeing big signs that we can have it this year.

I am concerned that if there will be bull run (even a mild one will do) this year, we can be starting the year 2019 with a gloomy mood setting up for the rest of the year a bearish situation. Of course, not unless maybe there can be that ETF thing approval from SEC maybe that can be the big difference.

As far as I remember, during the last year things started to pick within a week so there is still hope for the best to come. Lets grasp one important thing that crypto currencies can be very manipulative and thus at nay point if whales or big millionaire groups thought to pump it then they will do it willingly. Last years study shows that Futures investment and acceptance of the Crypto currency from Japan were the leading factors for this and thus a good news can also impact things nicely. We need such sparks this year also. I guess its too early to judge about everything, at the very last movement things can go wild.

i think it wont be, far from happening this year.
And probably on the following year or two
Market had suffer deep enough.
But the chances are still unpredictable
But lets hope for the good

Sure this year we will not see new highs, but some correction's recovery is expected. There are situations when Altcoins show bullrun twice per year, that's why you should be attentive. 

We observing thesame thing I guess even everyone does by now, with the way things are now do you really think that is possible this year,  well it a 50/50 thing since a coin can grow from 3sat to 10 sat  within a day so alot can still happen within the next month. The point is let's keep hoping, I pray our hope never dies

i think there will no big jump like last year but i think there will be some x2 or x3 dont expect x10 or something like this but the market is still affected by fud so lets just keep watching

there seems to be no significant increase. although we know that the market has shown a number of times the green sign, but none of the bitcoins and altcoins has increased significantly. I think if etherum can go up by $ 300, and for bitcoin, it might still stay at $ 6000 until December.

I think it is enough to see some coins to increase 2x or 3x than never because we can start to collect more profit like before. And I am sure that if we can do this three times, we can get a big profit too. I think 10x increasing will happen in the next year or so because we are now in a stable moment, bitcoin and altcoin are not increase and decrease too high. So it will be good if the price can increase 2x or 3x again and I will like to sell some of the amounts to get my money's back.

Yeah, most of the people have big hopes in december that market will recover and pump. But, now just one month left for december and no real growth is there. This is because, market did not get good ICO projects in constant way, still there are lot of scam projects available which fail to reach their target. So any miracle will recover market, otherwise i have no words!

I think that there is no sign whatsoever in the crypto market for the most anticipated bull run market within the month since market condition is just stagnant and nothing much happen big. Apparently, year 2018 has not yet ended where I definitely believe that there will be a big bullish market that may soon to hit before the year ends. People should not lose hope with their investment and have a positive outlook on your investment as this could make a change soon where you could be able to experience a good promising profit soon.

there is no rule that december is giving us a bull run every year. yes last year that happened in december but that does not tell there is bull run in every december. all we have to do is wait and collect more cheap coins.

Bull run isn't fixed to a particular period, December is coming but isn't guaranteed bull run will take charge coming December new people who got to know crypto last quarter of 2017 are delusional about bull run taking charge in December it may run in December it may be opposite of expectation of people.

You are right that a lot of crypto believers are expecting a good bull run before the year end. We might see it coming but I don't think that btc and alts will gonna reached their ATH this year. Reaching 50% of their ATH is good enough for me and let's wait cause 2019 might be the year where crypto will be embraced by all people globally.

Are you expecting the bull run to happen this year? Most likely that will not happen, hoping that to next early next year. Up to now there is sign of bearish market and bull run is nowhere in sight. Altcoins might increase as soon as the market turns green.

Even Nostradamus could not foresee everything in the world))) Evaluate the statistics of interest and growth of cryptocurrencies and the crypto community in the world over the past 5 years and maybe you will come to the conclusion that the growth will not be in December 2018, but in December 2020?)))) No one can tell you when there will be a rise or fall,here only your personal opinion makes sense.

I also hoped that today many projects, many altcoins can really very seriously show their capabilities on a new wave of interest, which all the same should have begun, but nothing happens, what is happening here I do not understand.

Waiting for a bull trend is for people who like easy money. We must be able to adapt to the situation, now is the perfect time for trading.

Yes, it seems that the price would really stagnate and won't have a huge movement in this coming months. Though I believe that the huge bull run that happened last 2017 will repeat.

Its been very tiring of waiting this bull run ang I think we're running out of time for this year , because biitcoin were stagnant at $6000 plus and also altcoins are not moving up but the remaining two months is enough to catch up the highest price of BTC for this year which is sbout $9000 .

I think, we already have the time to wait for december, because it's only end of october now and one more month to the end of the autumn.

Maybe everything is not as you think. Cold wallets of Binance and Bitfinex over the past months transferred a huge amount of Bitcoin to their hot wallets.
It is difficult to call such an accidental, therefore, soon the movement will begin and no matter which way.

I read that Bitcoin developers have found a solution to the problem of scaling if they can implement it into their network then it will greatly affect the growth ! Also Yes I am also waiting for news about ETF !

First of all don't expect too much from now until end of this year because it looks like nothing is going to happen and ETF approval also against the crypto currencies which make the prices too fall more if the results announced so better be ready for more bearish trend if the bull run begins just glads to accept that.

You are probably talking about Lighting Network. Sadly it doesn't work yet, but it is solution ! Why December it could be even this month, the bitcoin's price is now fluctuating between 6k-7k I think it is good to assume that bitcoin is now a stable (a bit at least).

Don't cry, mate.
Eventually there might be a big pump, but I don't know when it should occur. Don't make predictions, don't expect something and finally you will receive what you want

There was no really clear explanation why the highest bull run happened last year, so we cant really expect it will happen again this year. So for me, as long as the market is red, I plan to hold my coins until then.

Providing solution to the scaling problem of bitcoin transactions might not really triggers a pump in price  as expected but a positive news from ETF will definitely have an impact towards the expected pump in price in December else I don't expect any improvement in the present state of the price which had been in ranging between $6K+ although stable.

If I remember right, last year at this time it was the same, prices were moving up and down with no major breakthrough to highs or lows. So there is probably still time for prices to pick up if we are gonna repeat the same like it was last year. ETF news would probably make a great push for prices to go up in whole market but it seems like that won't happen this year... We can just be patient now and let's hope last year will repeat itself, it is still early to tell.

Why do many people say that encryption will increase in December? Will bull market come? Because last year's bull market lasted until the end of the year. The bear market has been going on for a long time this year. There is no sign of recovery in the market. I don't think there will be any bull market this year. Let's take a look at the end of the year.

We can hereby conclude that thing if this year ended but we are in the month of October so we can't assume things like sudden growths and falls, really ETF again? don't expect anything from it SEC would likely be going to delay the decision or reject the request well if this has been approved then it will add to the growth but do you think ETF alone can raise the price base on the expectation of the people who hold crypto?

Price is still ranging for both btc and alts but personally im hopeful and positive about the market, i think in the coming weeks we will see serious turn around in the market and bulls will dominate the market for next few months.

We all became pessimists here watching this sad market situation.
But a few days ago there was news that one of the largest investment funds in the world, Fidelity Investments, announced creating a platform that will become some kind of door for the organization’s clients in cryptocurrency. I find this news extremely positive because they manages $6.9 trillion of assets globally and funds like this don't enter the new market without assessing the situation first.
So fingers crossed!

At this point, I think there is no much light after the tunnel for December, but in the space of now and December anything can still happen, so let's hope for the best.

If there would be any upsurge in the crypto market this year, it might not be that much. Although, there is still eveery tendency for us to have the actual bull run next year, 2019. Ethereum might see $500 price before this year ends and perhaps bitcoin at beween $9000 - $10000.

There are so many expectations... I don't know, curious to see what is going to happen before the end of the year

I don't think that crypto can be dumped more than 1 year because whales want to earn money and the long time downtrend will scare away all investors and there will be no one to sell cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin tends towards stabilization, pending the tax decisions of the various governments. If these are positive, there may be some recovery, but they can hardly witness an explosion like last year.
Then, everything is possible.

It will not give any impact to the bitcoin's price. remember about there was a lot of thing need to be considered as the main factor to create FOMO for bitcoin.
ETF will not give a lot of impact to the bitcoin price but it just give a little bit pump to the market and you should mark if etf gets approved.

As for me, I have already zeroed my mind that there won't be any bull run this year. We also know that bull run will come at the time that we are not expecting it. The time for it is not fixed so know one knows the exact same it will come, we should just keep hoping.

Yes it is.. We are not watching a bullish signal still .I am not upset cause I am so experienced on that field.  I have seen a lots of ups and downs. Its ok the time is so long but hope we will find a bullish move soon.

I, too, believe that not worth wait strong movements by the end of this year. It is possible that it will be but we should not make big hopes. Now almost everyone expects that history will repeat itself and the market will go up by the end of the year

I only see on bitcoin's market, altcoins only bonus maybe because when bitcoin price up or down, altcoin still get down too. That is why i only focus on bitcoin market for now maybe until bull trend come.

I agree with you, and crypto experts have predicted that the market needs at least time to get back to normal, and this is proven to date the red trend is always happening. and unfortunately I don't have the capital to do daily trading. so I'm just waiting for time

according to my technical analysis the cryptocurrency will continue to rise in 2019 but the price is not as high as last year if the SEC does not support cryptocurrency

There is always hope, especially considering that last year everything happened instantly, within one week

maybe if there is a lightning network found for bitcoin then it can make the market situation turn green. yes, and we wait for a miracle even though the percentage is very far from possible. but there is always hope for surprise growth

Yes i was also waiting for big pump at the end of December 2018 but still now there is no picture in market. If i don't mistake last year before of X-mas it was a big pump in eth market. But this year what is happening in market is still don't know. There is no reliable news also in market that we can hope. So only waiting for fate.

actually I don't want to believe this. but honestly the less time left until the end of the year, the greater my disappointment. I always wait for a bull run, but until now there is no sign that it will happen.

If there is one thing I have learnt in this cryptocurrency space, it is that anything is possible and I always try to look at the positive side, I expect a pump even though it might not be the pump of massive proportions that we are expecting.

I really don't think that BTC will go up any time soon. I have been knowing this from quite many months that BTC will definitely go for the bull run this year like the last time because of the huge differences in the market situation from the last to this year. This year has been a mess for cryptocurrencies as the bearish trend was a long one, ICOs turning out scam, ETFs getting delayed, hacking of exchanges etc..
With all of these news going around, it is very hard for crypto to even get back to $10k and hence expecting such a big bull run is just a dream for crypto this year.

I think the bull market will come by the end of the year. Good news has already gone such as the launch of the exchange on December 12, 2018. Bakkt is a cryptocurrency unit of the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and this is no less important than ETF.

I think it's a pump but it's not like last year's almost 100% profit right now it's just 10 to 20% in the market place it's hard to predict but I'm sure that it will not be the same as bull run last year. As of now the one of the reason is scam cause of losing investors

It is true that Bitcoin is currently in a difficult time. because of various circumstances and the most crowded about ETFs. Bitcoin in 2018 is bleak and altcoins follow it. Just waiting for 2019. Whatever can happen in the cryptocurrency world, we can only hope and the most important thing is STOP FUD and don't spread it. Spread the news about GOOD NEWS BITCOIN, because it's better.

There has been several speculations and predictions surrounding the price of crypto but the situation of the market is not getting a bit better but close to having the worse, nevertheless as it is widely known and remain a fact that crypto is unpredictable which is why we should keep our fingers crossed and see what the last two months of the year hold in stock as per the next bull run

Unfortunately, we can not see any sign of bullish market yet. Most probably it will not happen in this year. But it will happen soon. The best thing is hold your coins and invest more.

i don't know for market moved for this year even in december soon, because after halving i'm not sure market can growup in end of year

If people have based their hopes on last year's rally then they'll be in for sheer disappointment as last year the rally took place because of mass adoption and bitcoins futures coming. These year adoption has been less, all alts have taken a bad beating, the only way for a rally is major mass adoption, approval of bitcoins etf, and both are not looking good at this stage. If the charts continue at this rate then yes, we'll enter 2019 on a gloomy note.

yeah, seems like we will be just hoping that bull run coming and coming  :( Seen the some sign in market but market again back to the previous bottom. But we can just discussion can't sure for next move in the market.   :)

Even i don't see any such sign of bull run as there is no real big transaction that has happen or no such updates from the market that shows or even gives hint about such things.But you never know what can happen in the future.Lets hope something good happens.

Nah, forget those $20k ATH last year, we're so lucky to witnessed it and being able to sell such high amount of price thus gaining a huge profit too. If the SEC doesn't want to support the ETF then so be it, ETF is not the only thing we are focusing right now. In fact we do focus on more updates of bitcoin and other altcoins.

Since 2 month crypto market is looking stable and when the steady growth will start than is still chance will be seeing bull run in December. Also the positive sentiment in the market is increasing in the market because of news of bakkt and fidelity institutional grade exchange leaving behind the negative sentiment of market which was created due to longest bear market. Both of this exchanges are trying to attract institutional investors and bring fresh money from them. Hopefully the we will see BTC around 10000$ till year's end.

With the cryptocurrency market, the bull run is unpredictable, it will come very unexpected. When the bull run occurs, the exchange rate will rise to an unprecedented level. So hopefully by the end of 2018 bull run will happen, and the ETH will increase to $ 1,000.

I think can't  help into cryptocurrency about the ber month because even if the holiday season closely coming
To celebrate the holiday this coming december hoping price increase a little upto 7$ For bitcoin to go up also the alts.

Who said that there will be growth of alts?
Do you actually think that alts will start just magically start to grow nevrtheless the situation in market and the huge amount of scams..
This is not gonna happen, the best case scenario is that slow gradual increase will start.

There are two things wrong with your idea. First of all it doesn't matter if its December or not and crypto currencies do not go up every year at the same time, if that happened we would all buy coins at October and sell at January and make a killing, we would all be rich. That can't happen, bitcoin and altcoins do not go up and down at the same time of the year every year that is insane to think that is possible.

However, lets assume you are right and coins go up in December every single year, we are still in October and we still have a long way to go to December. Last year during 21th of October it was again at around $6k levels whereas the price was more than $20k when it reached all time high.

Hence, if you believe the price should be going up we still have time to reach those levels but I think you should prepare yourself that the price probably won't do the same thing every year.

It's too soon to rule out and give up hope for a bull by the end of December. We're still far off from coming to December to determine if a change would happen or not. In some casesp positive news regarding the market had played a role in the bull so, we'll have to be patient to find out what happens by December's end. Hopefully something good.

the circumstances that exist in the current time is different to the situation in a while ago. Maybe because some policies could make crypto ride but for the moment there are no signs of a definite about the rise in crypto. If many have speculated December will take place may bull run much do imagine if this happened because of what happened in the past year without looking at other factors such as the cause.

Looking form the market condition in the past few month, the price of all alt coins are dropping and now it seems to look more stable, event though it still not rising as high as in 2017, so it seems at the end of the year, the price will not have changed much. But still we can't really predict what will happen to the crypto market.

in my opinion this year won't be like last year, too hope that December is better it seems like fantasy market conditions are still bad, I am quite skeptical of this condition.

well, for now there is no significant development for altcoins, maybe because it is caused by the price of bitcoin and ETH that have not pumped very high. well, I think that we only have to wait until the price of the two coins rises before the altcoin price goes up too, and hopefully this year it will happen....

No movement for bitcoin means no movement for alts, so if there is something that you can't see for bitcoin then don't expect it for bitcoin. While the market has been so stagnant don't expect that alts will move on its own. Alts do depend on bitcoins movement and that's how you'll see real growth in the upcoming months for it. Well, give it up if you want to and just leave your wallets until the next bull run comes. There's still a long way to go for everybody.

I do also monitor the market because I am hoping that I can see bitcoin /eth / alt improvents. Last time I saw bitcoin goes down in 327K in PH money then days pass bitcoin increase up to 340K I think. Up to now, it is still on that range, no big changes so I am already asking myself if bull run will still occur in December.

In fact, only two months are left before the new year. During this time, important events should take place in the world of cryptocurrency. The question remains the same - whether the market will grow at the end of the year. If the market does not rise during this period, it will greatly disappoint both potential investors and cryptocurrency holders. After that, the bear market may drag on again for a long time. It would be much better if the market still grow, not even very significantly, but grow. Just this long period of stagnation is already tired, we are waiting for growth and new developments.

I'm with you ,even bitcoin no growth at all ,I'm thinking its too late for bull run this year at all,all altcoins are taking the dive with everything in red,I'd say this year is just better for only those that want to invest ,coins are cheaper but not encouraging

Are there no more events that can affect the current situation, except for the adoption of ETF. This is just one of many reasons, but not the main one. And about the fact that alts are not suitable for the current period, this is not true, only they can save the investor.

That is true but we don't have to worry because everything will be back in normal. The bounties that I have joined right now are focusing on the products of  their project so  it will have a great value when the price goes up once again. This means people are also adapting to what is currently happening in the market and this is good.

Still no rise, but in cryptoworld all can be happened in one two days, its very fast market.
So i am waiting and hope for better finale this year

everything is speculation and prediction. The funny thing about the so called 'bull run' is that nobody knows when it will start. It can be today, tomorrow or next week. It can happen this year or next year. you may not know when it will start because there are so many theory about this so called bull run. some people beleive it is a market correction while some says its manipulation. whatever it is, it is very important and brave not to lose hope in crypto and always look forward to better days and we shouldnt forget the lesson we have learn from it.

At the end of September, CNBC published the news that Google was ending the ban on cryptocurrency advertising but that it had not had a good impact on the crypto market at this time and even tended to decline, I was really waiting for the end of the year and always praying the cryptocurrency would be a drastic increase

Very true. The acceptance of cryptocurrencies by Japan led to a huge rally during the middle of last year while whales pumped it to insane levels during the end of last year which  goes to show how volatile this market truly is.

I am fairly confident that the market situation will not change for the remainder of this year no matter how many people pray due to the prolonged bear market through out this year and I feel 2019 could be completely different if the ETF proposal gets approved.

If you keep hold your coins, it will become hard pressure into your mind and strategy. Down trend still running and every news can't create speculation to raise higher price action in significant value, everything look's empty for me. I'm not suggest you to cut loss but think and do realistic is need to be done. See again your strategy and fix it, good luck to you.   

Fears and I have, it is possible that the growth will not start. But I don't believe it, the mood of the market just on the bullish trend, at least some of the slightest good news will begin to expand the market.

there is no way we can predict about bull run, all we have to do is bag some more of your favorite coin and lets wait.. December is just around the corner so i think there is no big pump coming like was last year

There are some sense in your thread, but it depends on the situation that make the bull run, if the one that makes the bull run because of more people invest then no need to be afraid that 2019 will be start with gloomy price, but the problem now there is still no sign of bull coming, even with positive news and rumours, the market still in gloomy place, we need boost not just pump and dump

If the market condition isn't recovering yet at the end of this year, I'll be wait during the 2019 while hoping that the condition will get better from time to time.

Just exactly my thought, I have told few of my friends that unless something like ETF happens there won't be any bull run this year, the reason is that so many people have lost money in the space, so many ICO have taken out a lot of money from the space, and there are no many investors into the space, people are afraid to invest, and many who have coins are praying for the market to go up so that they will sell off, so before bull run will happen, there must be something like ETF that will bring in new set of investors into the space, without that, forget about bull run until next year.

Only with patience will later have good expectations, so to overcome this condition only by being patient and waiting for the good opportunity to come. And surely the condition is always there.

I hate to sound this negative because I have always chosen to see things from the positive angle even when it looks quite gloomy I don't think the expected recovery of the market is going to happen before December

Yes it is a very real situation and I'm afraid of it honestly, but I think it will all be resolved in a positive way and the bulls will win in the end of the year, the question is for how long they will come on the market.

We should hope for the best and yet we also have to expect for the worse. Here in cryptocurrency everything is unpredictable and maybe we can see signs for a bull run in the next couple of months. But as what I said earlier we should expect for the worse that no bullrun this year or even next year.

Indeed, many think like that because in 2018 the price of coins on the market is indeed unstable, many have decreased prices, prices are very unpredictable, surely many losses are experienced by investors who buy coins when prices are still high, hopefully expectations in early 2019 will become reality

When there is so much hope, it will never happen. Once people have lost confidence in the market, that is when the market grows and uptrend. It was hoped that the market would rebound in August and now ends in October and the market is still unchanged. So the last two months of 2018 are unchanged and we will have a 2018 at the bottom

That's also my opinion, things are not happening like we are expecting I stop reading those experts reviews that we will reach $40,000 or more this year I just find comfort that Bitcoin is not dropping to the $5000 level this is important for the confidence not to slide down.

I think the market condition this year is different from the previous year, this is because this year there were too many scam projects that made many media report negative things about crypto and made investors afraid to invest.

For Alts to get growth Bitcoin needs to get back to 20k Range , yes there is some alts that got like 20-50% growth . But to see same thing what happened last year December , then we need to see BTC back at 20k range again and after that alts hopefully will follow . Im not 100% sure on that , but it should be based on graph history :D

I still feel Bullish this coming December 2018. There's some shaking, correction happening on the market price. But I know one day, the MArket Cap will hit the $1 trillion mark. Financial Institution, Tech Companies and Bankers are all going in to the Cryptocurrency world. We just need to continue the awareness of it to the people everywhere. The real growth is making them Educated anything about it.

  The price of Bitcoin 20k was just because of the amount of ico. I hope that the bitcoin will grow and its price will be 10k

Yes, the statement in the coming months, the ETF may have a significant impact on the cryptocurrency market. As the trend from year to year shows, Bitcoin current is growing until mid-December and then there is already a decline whether it will also be unknown this year. This is due to the fact that everyone is starting to go to Fiat to buy gifts for the holidays.

I think that the bear market will be continuing at the year end , so altcoins will have no improvement of its price value falldown , but this will not take for a very long time , time will come for the comeback of the market to rise up and be healthy again , so we are only hoping that it will be finally over ,because all are affected by this falldown season.

Ya, rising of the value for cryptocurrencies aren't depending on the time, its can be analys by the chart and news to help pushing as well. Of course we don't know what happen for next end-this year, but one thing that you must remember, its always need technical and fundamental.

This year we'll not see new highs,but some corrections recovery is expected. There seems to be no significant increase. The point is let's keep hoping,I pray our hope never dies.

maybe there is no high rise for the price this coming december.. altcoins are on swing even bitcoin and also there is no way we can predict what will happen to the market, bull or bear

If we need to examine the previous four-year charts, we will see significant increases in November and after. I think you are doing an early analysis because we are not in November yet, but there is also a fact that there is no possibility that this scenario will occur every year. In other words, to reach the results of the analysis you have done, it has to go through a period of 1-2 weeks which is a very long time for the crypto sector.

As the cryptomarket is highly volatile, there is no way of surely saying that the market will go through a Bull run by the end of this year. We can only hope and calculate. From the look of the market it may seem like the market will not face a bull market soon enough, but considering the volatility it may happen at any time.

Indeed, it seems to be a bad year for altcoins and other cryptos. We are on the last months for this year but recovery is still not happening unlike on the previous year whereas right from the start of the last quarter of the year,  increase have already show itself to the market. Maybe next year will be the year of upward movement and we really do should hope for the betterment of the market.

I feel the same way. I believe that the bull run might not happen this year because a lot of investors already lost their interest. The bear market scares investors, its like a never ending winter so the investors just migrated to a different place just to make their lives better. I think there will be a bit of recovery by the end of the year but it will not be as high as last December. The increase will be too low to even consider a bull run. It will be a very mild one.

Personally I think that the bullrun won't come in the end of this year. I think it will come in the beginning of the next one. Somewhere in January or February I think.

well we have the whole november now and it is not the very end of october yet so we will see there is a lot of time ahead

i hope that the cryptocurrencies will grow as i would like to see my account nalance is growing but we will se what will happen for real

Yes, it's sad to understand that the time is already coming, but based on the schedule that every trader sees today, even the one who has just begun to understand cryptocurrency, I think that all this is clear, that something should happen soon.

If we try to go back last year before the bull run which happen before the end of the year 2017 , we can see that what happen now is also happens last year. Meaning before the bull run occurs some altcoins and market experience the down trend . I really positive that what happening now is just a preparation for something big .

i hope taht de ember will bring soem good news as we ahve seen a lot of bad ones this year so i thope the end will be better

this year especial
y the second part of it has been really bad for the ethereum and in my opi ion it deserves to have soem peace and quite time right now

People don't realize, that when btc had it's biggest crash before this one, the bear market lasted a full two years.
Of course, things are different now, but it wouldn't be surprising if the bear market continued into next year.

However, there are actual real signs of bullish sentiments.
BTC has been stable in the $6000s for a full two months now.
This means we have finally bottomed out.
After a period of stability it is natural for demand to rise and value to rise along with it.

Not just that, many financial institutions are jumping in to crypto or planning to.
A lot of them are developing their own in house blockchain solutions, but participation in the market is a big thing.

Because of these, I fully expect a bull run to happen this year.
When it does happen, we will see new all time highs.

I think it is already clear that this year nothing enchanting will happen, but still it is difficult to make any predictions. 2 months left, but during this period a lot of things can happen

In the cryptocurrency market, everything is unpredictable. Perhaps we will see a good growth by the end of this year, and perhaps we will not see at the beginning of the next. No one knows for sure.

For altcoins the growth won't be but BTC's holders will be so happy because there will be one more present for them from the cryptocurrency market.

The SEC thing is the elites attempting to front-run any ramp ups in the prices of cryptos, and take the majority of the profits when they occur.  By their nature (the money men,) they have to be first at everything, hording, and lording over everyone else.

And the reason so many people have a tough time predicting bull markets is because they don't understand the big picture.

Keep in mind, fed policy is DESIGNED to keep you and everyone else poor, except their owners.  This ramp up in crypto is occurring during a time in the late stages of the lifespan of the dollar when there are serious shortages of dollars, in effect squeezing everyone all that much more.  So, here we are near the mathematical end of the dollar's lifespan which is raising the stakes of every investment decision.

The point is the money men control the crypto markets and base their decisions to let it go up or down based on the crowd sentiment their algorithms detect.   It's a fleecing operation designed to preserve faith in the US dollar.

Until there is a world-wide dollar crises and the Central Banks lose control, they will abuse the crypto markets to destroy sentiment, increase fear, and play on people's FOMO emotions.

We are genuinely in the HODL phase of the crypto money paradigm shift, and it will remain that way until the world gets sick and tired of the dollar and its corrupt government telling everyone what they can and can't do.

The growth will be for alternative cryptocurrencies too but it will be not so good and profitable as for others. Altcoins are dependent and it kills them.

The rise in the price of cryptocurrency does not depend on the time of year, so it is not necessary that the bull market will return to us in December. This can happen suddenly at any time.

And why did you decide that this growth should begin in December? Every month, everyone thinks that growth is about to begin, but this is not happening. I am sure that at the beginning of next year everyone will be waiting for the next spring growth.

Look at the last year market charts. The market started to pump in about only November. Let's see this time, but honestly I am expecting smooth grows.

But in the last year, the price did not fall from the beginning of the year until the end of the year as this year. I don't think the market can recover in this year but I still hope it can happen

For sustainable development, cryptocurrencies do not need a regular pamp, but sustainable development with the introduction of ICA regulation, the arrival of institutional investors and the massive adoption of cryptocurrencies as a means of payments for merchants.

December is not the priority for the growth in market the bear is still very strong and still at early stage which shows that we are going to see a long time bear market before the bull finally comes so just hold your position or buy more now as it is the best time to acquire more.

As i remember we didn't have big growth last October also, bull run started later. But i am also not sure that this year we will have bull run, may be next or in 2020.

Exactly as someone said before, last year is an example how things can boil quick and also wrap up in a quick pace. Mostly everything concluded in a matter of weeks if not days. We could see another minor bull run until the end of the year, but a biggest so far is probably coming next year.

Yes, I saw this bad thing going on in a long time, somehow, even I saw a post that said this evil would run until mid 2019. I hope this is not true.

No doubt, almost everyone has been waiting for this Ember period which is September - December but I personally have not been seeing anything turning around positively in the alts coin market too but still need to maintain the patient which we've being maintaining since. Though, anything can happen anytime base on my little experience in Crypto.

Yeah, first ever happen in the history of alts and bitcoin were the market seems no increase as i analyzed the market trend which bull run exist. This is we believe that every year we were happy to celebrate the surpassing of value year per year.

The trading volume of most exchanges is now increasing, which indicates that investment enthusiasm has begun to rise, and many people believe that the bull market is coming.

I think we should be more active and patient. November - December is the time when world markets and finance receive liquidity. After the shortage of Tether, Stablecoin is having the necessary additions. Stablecoin's scalability and flexibility can be the best step to getting crypto back and responding to maximum attention.

I think like you. I think it takes time for everything to recover. Why do we have to push it while it's a huge market and there are so many other things that are affecting it that we can not handle. They always think that the Cryptocurrency market is bad but they do not know that the stock market is going down sharply. We are in good shape and we should stop complaining.

This year, the cryptocurrency could not please us, nothing at all, because we only saw a drop in prices and all

Of course, because January 2018 started to fall down the market little by little until bitcoin fell down to 6400$ out of 19k$ almost, so I guess before end  of this year bull run will really comes up to us and bearish will stop. And as I can see and observed too that most of the ico who started a months ago almost majority of it gave an extension to finish their ico this December then some of them also will going to have an exchange on the same months too, so what does it means? It means there is a big chance that Bull run will begin on this month.

Even if we can predict bull run which like you said we cannot, the fact remains that patience is a virtue that almost a higher percentage of people in this space do not have at all. This is a market and obviously it will have to develop in a way and people should discard this idea of expecting a bull run to happen immediately in most cases, because they just do not happen like that.

What is important the most now is to at least, take advantage of the present moment, and buy the dips while waiting for the long term of things, even if you do not get to see them this year, at some point, the growth will come.

You are very right. This year may be a dark year for crypto lovers. I know they still hold coins even though they have experienced losses, hopefully in early 2019 there is light or signs of an increase in all coins.

Everyone expects prices to stabilize in 2019 but it looks like everything is not the best and the number of investors entering the market is going down a lot compared to last year. I think maybe we will have to wait a long time to see the new recovery as people are feeling depressed about this market.

It seems bleeding part is stopped right now and even some gains but not a strong growth so far.
Well, we can hope for the best but what will happen is a question.

Very difficult to predict what can possibly happen before this year will ends, still no massive bull run for any coins including bitcoin, we are still in hope
holding our trust to this industry, maybe it can be delayed but still will come on its way, though the year is not over yet and we still have a couple of months for this quarter we should still be positive and willing to wait for the best results.

Yeah December is coming and no real signs of improvement. I guess that december formula don't work anymore. or may be we are believed to follow that formula hoping us to invest in. But in my personal opinion, i think it'll go up in the next year march, april.

I think that growth is not coming because there are a lot of people who are waiting it. Whales will make new tothemoon when they want and when it will be profitable for them

  I think the market will not rise at the end of the year. Because this year there are many difficulties that hinder the development of crypto. But some experts have suggested that by the end of this year the price of BTC or other alts coin will increase so we will always hope that the market later this year will have growth

People in vain rely on 2019, because there is a high probability that the bearish trend will remain for several years and will continue until 2025 or even further.

This year's December will be very interesting. Crypto market is no longer decreasing. Instead we have Ripple that increased very sharply. So the people might see that prices could go up again from that moment.

All are just predictions that base on data of last years. But at now, there is being a recovery and increasement quite good of Altcoins. With Bitcoin, I see that it is being under controled price around 6k-6k5. This is good opportunity to capital flow transfers to Altcoin

all price movements on the cryptocurrency can occur and it is uncertain that the price in December can be very expensive and the price in December will fall even deeper and no one will be able to predict the movement of cryptocurrency prices.

i've always tried to take it easy, if the bull run doesn't occur this year, then I hope it will happen next year.
For now i'll be collecting as many coins as possible and wait until that time comes.

VanEck, SolidX and Cboe resolved all controversial issues in dialogue with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), so a positive decision by the regulator is only a matter of time.

      That is true altcoins are  not moving upward and Bitcoin are also not moving forward so I think with regards of the bullrun, its already running short of time and maybe next year it will be happen but we have still two months to finish this year for possible short bull run .

It's October yet, have patience :) Some altcoins are showing some good growth already. Who knows, maybe bull market is closer than one may think :)

I believe in a bright future. I am ready to survive any crisis. The crypto future depends on us.

The way a lot of people are always in haste to experience something is the main reason why this market is really speculative driven most of the time. Sometimes, I wish people can actually get to listen to themselves when they are saying certain things.

We are still in quarter 4 and it has not ended yet, but one thing certainly is that when it comes to huge growth and bull run for altcoins, it does not have to take couple of months to see them achievable; it is all about patience and how far you are able to take advantage of accumulating now.

Perfectly reasonable answer. I think this should happen in the coming months. But I have little faith that this will be gradual growth. I think everything will happen instantly.

I think it is high time we know that bullish trend is not fixed to any month or any time of the year. Cryptocurrency is not predictable so no one can predict the next bull run and there is no need o worry about it.

it seems there will be no significant changes and improvements, I see the current volume is not strong enough to support bull run will occur

From the topic, I will say never conclude yet, cryptocurrency works like magic, we have one full month before December, and that's more than enough for anything to happen.

Well, it's strange that people believe in the end of the year, in that year there were other moments that influenced the bull market, I myself really hope for the rise of cryptocurrency by the end of the year, but I try to stick to the fact that anything can happen at any time!

I am not expecting a bullrun in 2018. For 2019 i think only the bull chance is ETF's. Because you know all the past bulls came after btc halving. So that halving will be happened in 2020.  We  maybe have to wait until 2020 for another bull run.
Lets continue pray to god... I want a bullrun in 2019 it will be fascinating but i am not expecting also in 2019 :(.

We still have more than one month before December starts.
I think we are now on the stage that everyone is getting ready.
we will see soon the rise in the market of some alternative coins and even BITCOIN.,
we should wait a little longer.

In the past days I have seen a bit of hope in my blockfolio so I am looking forward to see what December brings to us. I hope it will be great results

So, it's really true. The situation would go in 2 ways.
1. The fast and really big rise will come in december.
2. Altcoins will not be on top, like we wish.

I am not sure that the cryptocurrency market will go up in December. It seems to me that this is a mistaken opinion of those people who saw the growth of the cryptocurrency market in 2017. The market does not always repeat past charts.

I agree with you, maybe we will see a scene like this throughout 2018, maybe until mid 2019, there is no strong positive signal to show it

The market capitalisation is decreasing daily in cryptocurrency and general apathy is affecting the price within the market. I do not  expect to see bull run but december   could spring up surprises!

cryptoworld is a crazy market. it can go up in a matter of an hour and drop sudden in a minute but i have a good premonition that we are having a bull run before the year ends. hopefully it will.

Well for me i think that this year is not for the altcoins because the price is going down then stable but maybe soon it will rise up again.

The situation is giving me much concern because at the moment there is little or no clear chance that this December will favor the Cryptocurrency market. And even if it's going to, I don't think it will be very high.

I still feel there is likely going to be a run up this year, if you look closely the volume on the exchanges has decrease and this mean something people are anticipating something big, it is either we start a new bull run with the launch of Bakkt or the ETF approval would be the one to kick start the bull run.

We still hope and believe that there will be a bull run by December and we are not giving up hope and are still watching.

Yes, as we see today, it becomes a mystery in December of the end of 2018 which puts a lot of hope in people with market predictions there will be a pum, but unfortunately there are still less strong signs. don't panic at least we have to be prepared for a strategy to deal with the beginning of a year that might be bad.

Behold. I still actively participate in many campaigns and expect this growth, because these projects will show maximum growth.

I think a lot of altcoins are getting ready to moon soon. The downtrend has been going on for ages now, clear signs of stabilization and accumulation are visible. This is the best moment to buy in my opinion.

Nobody can tell you, when the bull run is coming. We are all waiting for the beginning of November, because in 2017, everything began to rise exactly during the first days of November. Just wait for another week and we will see if the bull run is coming in 2018 or not.

I agree...I do not know when the next pump will be but this time i'm ready...I regret I did not get bought coins like litecoin,vertcoin or viacoin when they were very very low in 2015...there is a good dose of luck of course, but you must always do your own researches...for example watch Elicoin in livecoinwatch , is not an ICO or bounty... it's a coin with low mc, low supply, PoW whit cpu, no premine, active dev...only trading it on CREX24 for now...do you own researches in the thread in bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3028302.0... people are too stupid for DYOR and got scammed by ICO or bounty...just my 2 cents...hope it helps...cheers

pump is unpredictable. Who will tell you for sure when you will grow? correctly no one

We are waiting for something from the very beginning of the year, first the end of the Chinese year, then the summer holidays, the decision of the SEC, October, now we are waiting for November. Not the fact that the situation that happened last year will be repeated.

There is no need to panic and be frustrated. This year has not ended yet and there is still time for the bull run to happen by the end of this year.

It is advised not to loose hope yet, as the year still is not over. Even if a bullrun doesn't happen we might see a price rise by the end but it is advised to keep the expectation low.

Its hard to predict a bull run let alone its exact arrival time. Its tiresome for all of us but isnt it better to hold on than just losing it all? Perhaps a gradual increase is better in the long run than a shady market that is so risky to invest in.

The year still hasn't ended, has it? There is still time left and a bull run does not take a long to start. Just keep calm and hope for the best.

Just a little bit of patience my friends, we can't really predict when it is to happen but as long as we are ready of our holdings to sell that time.

We are still in 2018 bro. You just fast forwarded, hope it's not because of the bullish market? Anyway, no matter what, there's still a great future in crypto. It doesn't matter the time, the market can pick up at anytime. No time of the year is most important as far as am concerned. Good comes at any time, the question is will you be ready to grab it when it comes?

If it was that easy then everyone would be rich.  You cant expect these runs to just make every coin go crazy

that is also my hope that in 2019 bitcoin will rise I believe that. . I don't know, but if you look at this graph that happens every 400 days or more, bitcoin will rise, maybe this is bitcoin preparation to go up. We'll see 2019 later what will happen

I believe that this will not happen. They had plenty of chances to run ETF. What we see. They sit in one place and do nothing. Why does that have to change?

Now everyone is talking about this, that growth will begin in December. I think the market will surprise more than once and in December there may be a sharp drop, but next spring there may be a good pamp.

it is still the long way u till december and in my opinion almost everything may happen in this period of time so do not worry

Ah, I am very eager to sell the coins but what makes me to hodl is not to lose my hard earned money. Not only for Alts even BTC had sleeping pills. Continuous price fluctuations disappoints everyday, oh dear bull run waiting for you.

What month did the mooning start last year?

In my opinion no matter what will be the market condition be still and optimistic that the market will recover in due time. Therefore waiting is not easy rather it is hard because long suffering and patiently waiting matters. Good luck everyone, hope for the best things to come.

I believe that the price will going up cause you can see the price already down for more than 6 months and i still fell optimist that their price will going up near this end of the year. Just hope something good news come out

the whole market depends on the price of Bitcoin, it seems to me that in the near future there is no need to give positive changes in the cryptocurrency market. According to some forecasts, large investments are expected already in 2019, and only then can we hope for a stabilization of the cryptocurrency market and a rise in prices.

this is still on the way to December so all the possibilities can still happen, I choose to think positively because it helps calm my mind because I keep on sad I won't change anything. I believe if the crypto market will rise again, it only requires a process because it does not easily make the market rise again.

If every year will go by the same plan then we would not trade the whole year but at the Dec make all profit for next year. Simple. But it's impossible. Every year is different. Some people find same patterns on the year but imho it's a joke. We don't have enough data for such resume

girls that many users of cryptocurrency wishful thinking and industrial circumstances in the future, no one cites any facts to explain their opinions. In any case, for a positive change in the market I still do not see any prerequisites.

We all need to tune in to the best, but expect the worst, unfortunately. Yes, the same scenario doesn't repeat. And this year we will end at very low prices. But we always have hope.

Yea,I think this year will be bad for alts ,I don't even believe in December as some people do,I guess the whales and manipulators have got an absolutely different idea about how to manipulate the cryptomarket in Dec and Jan,maybe instead of a great pump we will get a horrible dump,let's wait a little more ))

I fully agree with you, there are no signs that the market will begin to grow this year, mostly people just hope that this year the market will begin to grow.

Like i said earlier, I dont think their will be massive growth in the market after the bull run and ATH last year, we could see some movement but gone those days when an alts or bitcoin grow x10 overnight , I think people were just hype about crypto last time and so much DUMB money went it.

Yhe true fact is that the fate of the whole crypto market deoends solely on Bitcoin. Until Bitcoin gets a good price for the ALTs to variantly follow up, it'll still be in this bloodbath that we're in.

I just want to make the market in the stable value not like before to maintain our investments in a good value. And I think it is not bad that we don't have any massive growth this year to make our investments get a good amount of profit, just making sure that we should make more investors to come and join us.

Till the end of this year, we maybe don't see the bull market day , but I just believe in 2019, botcoin market will really develop that it rise strongly,

I also concern how the market will be in the next year or at least in the end of this year. Many hope, prediction, and expectations are full in every mind of the holders. But, the reality may be different and we must accept this. I myself am not really sure that the growth will be on December. probably it will be in about 5 months later. Hopefully, it will be sooner.

bull run wont come and crypto will have a cure. because now in crypto there are lots of people without any ideas and one thought "become rich fast"

Yes that's true, Altcoin tends to follow the price movements of bitcoin long ago. If later in December the price of bitcoin experiences a drastic price increase, it will definitely be followed by an increase in the price of most Altcoins. if we look at the history of last year when the price of bitcoin rose drastically then later on with most altcoin prices on the market soaring up very high. So it's true that the price of Altcoin is from the effect of bitcoin price movements.

I would not assume that this year cryptocurrencies make another price jump upwards. For me, there is currently no sign of it. Surely we have to wait longer for something like that, but hopefully it will come to that someday.

Feel sad because there is no sign that market will recover the whole 2018 i think whole 2018 will be bearish unless, but im still hoping and praying that market will grow buy the end of 2018, i remain positive even my investment is negative

It is always good to anticipate good things but it is also high time all crypto users and investors came to terms with the fact that the cryptocurrency does not follow a fixed pattern in the sense that there should be definitely another bull market just as it happened last year December.
Let's keep the faith, buy more, continue the awareness creation, avoid creating FUD and eventually Bitcoin and the entire market will rise.

I don't know, I can't conclude this yet, but it looks like crypto for this year is growing differently like last year, hoping that there will be a bright spot at the end of this year for the revival of crypto again.

Maybe it would still take years for that to happen but I hope it would just take months for the market to recover. These past ten months has been a big hit to the cryptocurrency market and many people left because they are disappointed by what happen. Well, they are not patient enough for the recovery to happen or it might end up that they are right with their decision that they left because they can find better opportunities. There is still two months left for this year and if it would be the same last year then we might be able to see a slight recovery.

Well don't expect this year to follow or repeat what happened last year ,things are different now but let's hope for the best ,if nothing happen this November/December then earlier next year we can see changes in market price

We'll see. The point now is to negotiate. Nobody knows the future. Everything is on the same level with local charlatans who are ready to cure any disease for$ 100.

Nothing has really changed on the market as it is declining and stagnating the whole year long. Many people left the market and
new investors has still not arrived. We need to regain their trust again and then we can expect growth again.

End of 2018 altcoins were below expectations, many investors are expecting a bull season at the end of last year, but there is no movement yet

While there are no prerequisites for huge growth ... perhaps there will be a slight correction, but a jump like last year should not be expected.

true, almost everyone places great hopes at the end of the year to improve the prices of all coins, but now the price of coins is still declining even very difficult to increase. seeing this, I just kept praying and trying to organize my heart so I wouldn't be disappointed if this year the price of coins didn't increase, at least I still had hope in 2019 and the following year.

I think the increase and jump of the cryptocurrency value is affected by some factors. it can be because of the investors (big millionaires) and some factors that is the acceptance and utilization of such cryptocurrencies by a huge number of people.

Let’s not lose hope. There are still a few months left before we say that. We still can’t predict what will happen to crypto at the end of this year. I firmly believe that the coins will rise, though it may not be like the previous year. Holders are still hoping for good profits this for this year.

Its not possible to make a repetition of what happen last year compared to now. Because right now, the market is still suffering from dump prices and there are instances that it will rise, but pulled down asap. Although it still can be repeated, but just a slight percentage for it to surely happen.

don't worry, because bull run can come at any time without having to give a sign and now it's still in October to wait for the bull run to come, and even though the bull run 2018 doesn't happen then I'm sure in 2019 there will be a recovery going on in the cryptocurrency because during 2018 cryptocurrency always has a bear run and if the ETF is approved then I believe cryptocurrency growth in 2019 will be the same as in 2017 or even bigger.

But at least in this month the market are quite stable rather than before, or some says it is just so bored & stagnan. I think it because some of us are still waiting on how SEC will approve it or not, just let see how it will be after that news.

Of course you're right. At the end of this year, we need a small but increasing cryptocurrency market. Due to the fact that many of all forces are hoping for such an increase, if this does not happen, it will be a great disappointment for many cryptocurrency holders and potential investors. If there is no increase, the period of stagnation may be delayed, for a long time. This can not be allowed, because the popularity of cryptocurrency after that can significantly fall.

There are lot of predictions for the end of the year and keep hoping for it to happen. Many are expecting but we should be ready for what is really going to happen. Maybe not happen the bull run lime before but I expect that the price will increase than it has today. The small change gives hope to everyone.

I have a high hopes in bitcoin this year to increase with so many users expects for the good news I believe it can happen. Exactly mostly holders and believes the future about crypto we can sense their is a growth for btc and even for alts.

Terrible is not prediction, terrible is unknown. The cryptocurrency is now stable for a long time and is likely to erupt at any time, and it is a rapid explosion. Remember the day when the USDT was unstable? Bitcoin rose 20% in just three hours

Yes we all are hoping bullish growth this year for alts and as well as for bitcoin. According to the charts analysis market is running sideways it can break either side but we are expecting a bullish breakout. But nothing is sure shot as we think it will happen and we all know there is a will there is way so we are quite positive for coming months of this year. But I would add one thing there are some altcoins that increases in the recent times so its a good positive sign of recovery of market.

For the current situation of the market, altcoins are put to challenge exposing altcoins' weaknesses. Some altcoins were meant not to grow whatever happens in the market. While significant alt coins have shown great potentials. This is the reality that cryptocurrency has to face. All of the have to improve a lot to compete with the other altcoins.

Expect the unexpected,last year we are suprised at all to what BTC behaves from the last quarter to the end of the year you should have good patience this time.No one would ever know what will happen unless you are one of those people who are manipulating the market.Ive heard financial giants are buying cryptocurrencies off the book,which is why we wont know what is the real value of bitcoin until this people shows up.

"No real growth for alts yet"  ??? Didn't u see how alts starting to pump after even exchanges listing? This is a very promising sign of future market growth. Ppl starting to FOMO in.

I don't think a bull run is happening just yet. Most of the big guns and institutions are buying Bitcoin over the counter, so this isn't reflecting in the CMC at all, but slowly as infrastructure builds around Bitcoin and Crypto and more and more projects come alive with real use cases and gadgets and gizmos that run on the Blockchain, you will see more and more mainstream growth and eventually big money coming into the marketplace. I see this happening more in the latter part of 2019 going into 2020, even at the ripe old age of 52 years old am willing to be patient and remain forever in crypto even with my little bags.

I believe that for cryptocurrency will be very harmful such growth that occurred last year, and I hope that growth will be gradual over several years. I am a very patient person and I can wait.

I also think that there is no large movement of altcoin. so I think Altcoin will stay at their average price and maybe for some time to come. and I personally rarely find out about big news about altcoins

yes that quite noticeable but if you go back to last year we have seen the great rise hopefully the same thing will repeat it again.

It is not realistic to expect that something like December 2017 is going to happen.

The real truth is how the destiny of the entire crypto marketplace is dependent exclusively upon Bitcoin. Till Bitcoin will get a great cost for that Altcoins in order to variably follow-up,

this is the second year for me in the cryptocurrency world.
For me what will happen at the end of the year remains a mystery, but seeing from various sites on the website. Many people predict that there will be a significant increase. My experience in terms of prediction is not enough. But by looking back at the condition. I am optimistic that at the end of this year there will be a surprise.

No, I don't think it's all. bitcoin affects the crypto market because of its enormous power. but altcoin has its own community and development. if the developer is unable to maintain and run the project, the altcoin will fall. Until now the market still looks bad, there is no choice but to wait, if at the end of the year it cannot improve, all hope is at the beginning of next year.

last year, as I recall, was the same. only somewhere in recent weeks there has been a significant increase. so that hope dies last

Many predicted quarter 4 this year for the coming of the bulls but the 1st month is almost gone and no sign yet. We are likely to have a bear / quiet market throughout this year. I don't like the fact that we say that it's SEC ETF approval we need for bull. It gives the govt power.

Maybe there is no movement going up or gaining from alternative cryptocurrency!
But the good thing to have now is that there are no falling more in the market!
Market is getting stable now, i hope the rise will be coming soon.

Until now there seems to be no sign of a market increase, we are waiting for the end of the year or earlier this year, hopefully there is good news that can make crypto stretch again

A few smaller cap coins and Ripple etc have pumped and dumped and pumped again but there is no real euphoria or excitement in the market like there was last year. I do not see it happening this year to be quite frank with you and I maybe see it happening at the end of 2019, going into 2020 when more older projects have been successful with their roadmaps. All I see now is small time pumps from the telegram and twitter pump groups, although I am not a member of any of them to be honest.

I am also very afraid that the growth will not start. Although all indicators suggest that growth should be, at least a little. ETF will help us very much, will be a lot of investors and those who previously just looked for cash, begin investing.

We hope that your forecast will not be justified and by the spring of next year we will get an increase in capitalization of 100-150 billion. And ETF here exactly will not be the deciding factor.

Waiting for the ETF and SEC to strengthen Crypto prices again will take a long time because all this time there is always a refusal from the institution, and I also see that there are no signs of a bullish market this year even though later in December the price will strengthen there is a big fall next year because December's increase won't be big, but it's all just predictions that whatever happens then we won't be able to know much less Crypto is unstable in price.

Yeah don't pin hopes on an etf approval dude. It's likely going to have a very minimal effect. And a bull can be initiated in a snap of a finger if whales decide on it already so you don't really need to look for any signs of it coming. It can come as sudden as it can plunge.

Until now, all the pampas predictions until the end of 2018 are based only on desire and on the fact that a year ago prices were much higher. So far, there are no prerequisites for the growth of the entire market. There are no fundamental factors indicating likely growth in such a short term.

Crypto is like a football game where anything can happen before the final whistle. December is still a month away from now and I still believe something can happen before the end of 2018.

I would not really hope that in December the market will explode and there will be a rain of diamonds. My optimism has already greatly diminished. Although I still do not lose faith in the fact that I can really earn on my investments.

Although there is no tangible growth that we can take record of for history since the year began,there is much tendency for us to experience great all time high this year . If you watch the price Bitcoin has been stable between the range of $6000 - $ 6900 . There are so many bet going on right now about Bitcoin hitting $50000. We should expect a big bull run which will cause headline news again in the media and social media.

this is very alarming considering that most crypto people expecting a bullrun before the year ends. And so, many people were already panicking at the moment and thinking cryptp is already dead.

At the moment, the market does not show clear signs of growth. But we must not lose faith in cryptocurrency and use a good moment to buy cheap coins.

Yes. I can't believe what I am seeing as well. The market is usually recovering at this time of the year but it is the exact opposite. A lot of coins are going downward and other coins were to follow. I don't think that there will be another bull run this year. Maybe at the 2nd quarter of 2019, there will be another bull run. I hope that everything will go well for the rest of the year but that might be just a dream and far from reality.

Let's not panic. According to the statistics of 2017, the growth of the crypto currency began rapidly in a short time. That is, within one week the value of Bitcoin has grown significantly.  I don't think we should give up too soon. Waiting For December. And there will be seen to give up or not!

What to guess? Let's wait for December and all the sight! Ostalosb bit!

I think december is really the season wherein so many investors buying some tokens so why should generalyzed as not. But if you know that season is really for us just like last year maybe it can really happen. I really hope so that it will happen for the sake of all token holders especially investors.

As it is very delayed correction. Well, one bright recovery was in the spring when the bitcoin rate rose to 10K. Now we are waiting for the second recovery just at the end of the year. It's like a textbook, twice a year!

You probably meant December 2018 not December 2019, right? Almost all have a great hope that the bull run can come during this month. I wish it could really happen but the probability of the event is not VERY high.

Man, the bull run cannot be mild. The bullish trend is the period when the market is growing constantly, but the run time needs the following situation: almost all the meaningful cryptos add at least +20%.

WAS there a growth on botcoin? As a matter of fact, I have seen better growth on some alternate coin than bitcoin.

We can't really tell when will be Altcoins to start picking up as we all know Altcoins depends on the market performance of Bitcoin. Expect good things to happen if Bitcoin started a bull run. It is like a domino effect in terms of market flow. The best thing to do now is buy Bitcoin or whatever Altcoin we want to invest and hodl until we can see that it started growing or bouncing back and making new all time high.

I guess on this December market situation will be quiet. And new big moves on crypto we will se only on the end of 2019. But, who knows...

unfortunately cryptocurrency price did not move as we hope.price move down again yesterday, and its make recovery become harder than before.

Well, it was never said and set that right away in December market will go up and it is not yet a December, not even November. Be patient. It will get better soon. It is a long process that will not happen overnight.

Still more than a month is left for December, though i don't feel that any hike will happen in December.

While talking about the Altcoins in every year the cycle will change but the one year gap is yet to come after the last December. So, keep the patience and wait what scenario is going to change from January or February 2019.

Growth for alts might be a slow process, but it will happen definitely very soon. Now it is dragged up or down along with the movement of BTC, but soon there will be many altcoins which will be moving freely and will have some real growth. Not all but quite a few of them for me is quite happening and promising, won't name them because it will still be a speculation.

As we see, the cryptocurrency market is changing and every new year in this market is not similar to the previous one, and we can only assume how events will develop. We (small traders or holders of tokens) cannot fundamentally change the market situation, so we need to be able to adapt to any market conditions.

I'm a holder ,and infact I don't expect any bull run again so let's all let go of expecting any growth this December and start getting prepared for 2019 ,this year bitcoin as proven to be a very strong coin so next year will be full on improvement and good news

I agree with you. It is difficult for the market to repeat as it did in December 2017. Today is over in October and there are no signs of recovery altcoin. It is possible that this period will last until 2019

We all know that bull run can come at any time without having to give a sign. But there are a lot of predictions for the end of the year. Many investors are hoping the bull market will come at the end of this year. I hope also the market will be quite stable rather than before. I believe 2019 will be the best year for earning profits.

everything is possible in crypto but i think the bull will not come in this year,,
but, nothing wrong if we hope, a good price movement in cryptocurrencies will happend in the last months in this year

Yes,December is coming no sign of altcoins price will continuesly raising.What we are observing is that the price was unstable and we are hopping is that by the start of next year the value price will goes to the moon.

Altcoins grow when Bitcoin falls. I don’t think it's worth waiting for the arrival of new investors while Bitcoin is low.

indeed, predictions about market recovery at the end of this year have spread everywhere, but what is predicted is not necessarily going to happen and even now, which is basically nearing the end of the year, the market situation is even worse, a few days ago the market experienced a very drastically again, that makes me doubt that market recovery will occur at the end of this year.

I also hope that the ETF can pass, which will lead to a comprehensive recovery of the cryptocurrency market economy.

we wait until the 5th of November whether the SEC will delay its decision on ETFs? if this decision is positive the possibility of a bull run in mid-November will begin

This year is close to the end and will soon end, just a month left before we reach December and today is already Oct. 29th and yet not even Bitcoin or any altcoin has shown signs of giving any growth. No matter what I already knew that they won’t let the same thing repeat itself this year cause they knew a lot of people were getting for it and they need to play smart and discourage them. That’s why I never believed all these analysts cause I knew already nothing would happen, and see it now.

It seems that while there is no reason for which the market will turn. Even no preconditions, so it remains to hope that the bulls will arrive earlier than the market falls to the very bottom.

Well, the decisive role will be played by the decision on the Bitcoin ETF .. It will most likely be accepted in December

Ok, no real growth, but just wait for some months more and the result will be clear for you.
I bet we are close tu pump, just a bit of patience.

Isn't that what you pump activist have been saying for the entire year?

And that's exactly why the crypto scene these days sucks. New ICO-s all the time, most of them scams. Very few new people want to get involved with it.

make announcement thread in altcoin section , do not spamming like this..If you one of the team you can contact other person to make ann thread for your project.

Still two months to go in December and I think that it is a big time, once bitcoin price will start increasing I hope that within few months we will see the bitcoin price rise too much. I hope that before the end of 2018 we will hopefully hear good news about crypto market which will give good support to bitcoin.

I think that if ETF should take place there will be more decrease to the price of most coins and that will make whales get interested in buying lots of coins and boosting the price. And when that happens there will be a huge increase to the price again, but not without dropping later  cause they will also withdraw once they achieved their purpose and leaving us another bear market.

I think differently from you because i think December is the last month of the year and the effect of the santa claus effect and i can not explain it. But surely there will be a clear change to this and so we can hope.

No one knows this, but for me, we're not gonna have a bull this year. We have to wait for 2019, i have good hopes for 2019. We've already had a bull soon, it's kind of naive to wait for a new bull to come right away.

I thought I was the only one worried about this. And now its less than 75 days to say goodbye to 2018 and they haven't been any hope of any bull run.

If it continue like this till 2019 I fear if we would ever have a bull run any time soon.

there is still one month to wait, but if it is not proven there is visible market growth. then we can be sure the market will improve next year as you said and also many other people who say that. when everyone who predicts the end of this year can be like last year, but it doesn't happen. then those people change their predictions.

I think we will not see new peaks this year, but some improvement is expected.If bitcoin price are rising, then the market will up.

Agreed, we just need to be patient and wait for the market to come to December, everything will be clear. We are in the final stages of 2018 so I'm sure the market will soon pump and end in 2018

we wait until December arrives everything will be clear and cryptocurrency can change even in a short period of time, so there is still a possibility that in December there will be an increase in volume in the market.

this was 1 year ago today from cointelegraph.

Bitcoin has reached a historic high of $7,200.
Given the current situation, it is hard to forecast the future resistance levels. Is there any chance we can see $7,500 tomorrow? Why not?
The possibility of a correction depends on the appetite of those who traded at $3,000 to $4,000. It is very likely they will fix their profit before Bitcoin’s upcoming SegWit2x hard fork, to be held on Nov. 15;
The nearest support levels for BTC/USD are at $6,600 and $6,200. However, it is not recommended to open short positions.

Anything is possible in crypto.

And this statement means that all those news and speculations about the surge in price in December are meaningless. Of course we still have a month to go to enter December but it is not about a time period that determines the market position. True market forces do that and these forces do not depend on the time. Anyhow, give the market the time it needs to get back in positive vibes and we still have the assets so why to worry.

Even not that there are no signs, but on the contrary confidence that the fall will continue. After all, the market is almost dead, the volumes of trading are falling every day, only trading bots are active. It is difficult to say what will affect the change in the situation.

but I don't think if it falls at the bottom because now the market has started to experience frequent increases in the price of the coins, so we just pray that the market will experience a good change in December

December will come soon, and I think there will be many coins that will grow fast after sleep in almost a year. I am sure that we will see the rise of cryptocurrency like before and I hope that we can make a big profit again. But we need to be patient before it's happening because the market still on good progress to increase higher, so it is better for us to prepare our coins and place at the higher price. But if somehow, the altcoin price cannot grow higher, we still have the next year to see the price will increase back.

I think that the scenario for cryptocurrency will be such that first of all bitcoin will soon grow, then all the altcoins, then a small decline in the market and then growth again.

This is not a surprise to me as I stated in June in one of my tweet that we are not touching $10k by year end but many were saying it's a lie but here we are now with just some days to go and I believe we can only see little surge but definitely not $10k.

People think ETF is reason to moon which is NO , it is only an instrument for manipulators to manipulate the price and I bet you if the ETF was declared then we will still be in same situation .

We never know when it will come.

it won't happen soon, I didn't see December's bullrun. try the analysis
only a miracle that can make the market rise quickly. but according to analysis and studies conducted by many crypto experts at least the market needs more than one year to be stable.

For the past 9 months, the market is still down because of the bearish trend. The market became stagnant of being low most of the time throughout this period. We're now a couple of hours only and i don't know if what November will be for the cryptoworld.

I do also think that december will not be the same as what happened last year. The recovery last timr have started on the last quarter of 2017 and since we are already 2 months away before this year end but still nothing happens, maybe we should just accept the fact that this year will not be a huge year for cryptos. Therefore. we should be more patient with how the market behaves.

It's been too hard to know whether it will increase again, the big WHEN is still not visible and seems to be too long before we can see it again. We need to be updated always.

yeap, soon will be a year from the great bitcoin fall from 20k. i remember that last year people told like it chinese new year was fault of the drop and after that all will back to normal and will grow again, so i guess this year we now that its not gonna be cause of crypto not growing, but ofc wanna finally see some good movements up

Nobody can say this is when the bull market would start now, with all the good news in the space for most part of the year the prices has been on the sideways. What I would advice people on is to position them selves into good projects because not all these tokens would regain their prices again, but those that do would make it very big because BTC is going back to $20k it is just a matter of when

last year, bull came when noone wait it.
this year it will come as last year, it will come when noone wait it, and everyone's hope shattered.

Everyone is losing hope actually, but some of them prayed that in the coming next 2 years everything will be normalize same as last year 2017. Its a sad truth that this year, bullrun will never happen, if we based on facts and market condition of course, but we should not lose our hopes. Who knows

December is not long, and until now there has been no sign of rising prices for altcoins, of course the main factor that has made the market not grow is the number of scam projects.

I think we do not need ETFs, but Bitcoin is now as stable as many investors are willing. The SEC did it in secret and did not let anyone know. This is a great thing and I think it will definitely grow and that will be its real value. It will be difficult for manipulators to manipulate the price of the BTC anymore.

since the beginning of 2018, many users of cryptocurrency distributed a lot of predictions about the further development of the cryptocurrency market. All forecasts were very positive, but not September, not October did not show real results. What can we expect from December?

The fact is that in October, but I already gave the results of testing the update Constantinople for ethereum, but everything did not go very well. And today there are predictions about good investments in cryptocurrency and everyone is hoping for the month of December.

I don't think we will see any real growth this year. My bet is for next year. 2019 can be a game changer. Many experts are saying that we will see a real growth in volume next year due to more investors from traditional assets joining cryptos. Moreover, traditional assets are not really doing well. People could opt for cryptos as investment.

I don't think that the bull run this year will be like that of the last year and we should not be too much hopeful as the current market conditions speak more volume.  This remain a bearish year and as such we should expect another bull run in 2019 and if it did not happen then 2020.

This time last year total market cap was 198 billion, today it is 212 billion. Then on January 9th 2018
it was 795 billion. The crypto community needs volume in order to rise, and it's out there just sitting
waiting to be released , it's up to the people to make it happen. only 3.17% of currency is invested in crypto.
52% of that is btc. Advertising is much needed, world wide.

It's not like Bitcoin is all of a sudden going to shoot up toward $10,000 at the very end of the year!

For the market to climb out of the present bottomed out phase it will likely require more time even though a resurge can typically occur after an extended period of consolidation

Well that ETF thing from the SEC is not coming for sure ,so theres a bad implication about the expectation and yes we are all waiting for the growth this last quarter but we can really see the truth is not happening .check the market movements and you will find there is no indication that we can feel and taste the pumping season again.

Yeah, it's disappointing to see that the market is not doing good nowadays and so the crypto enthusiasts are not feeling enthusiastic because as the price goes up, it would just come back down again much lower than it has before making the investors think twice if they want to add up to their investments or would just pull out what they have because it seems like there is no indication of an impending pump. However, I still believe that the crypto party would be back sooner or later and we just have to have patience for it to happen.

Yes we must not be much hopeful about this year, everybody think that end of the year good rises can be like previous year bull market but for this year it didnt happen unfortunately. We will wait good news for crypto world and I hope it comes soon.

sadly, i dont feel anything now in crypto market, there is no bulls

Like everyone i am also expecting for the bull run this year. It is very difficult to predict nor speculate whether it will happen or not. so far base on the market status we have not see any confirmation of it yet. but there is still time all can escalate and hype up anytime. Everyone is one stand by and keeping track on how their individual portfolio will move as we end the year.

ETF has influenced the market hugely and the market is kept waiting for the approval from the SEC. There is no indication in the market when it is going to recover the prices and i think this year we won't see any market growth and it will continue like this in the next year too.

All this year, altcoin prices have been falling steadily, without any pennies that can grow taller, so for a good penny they should be patient for a long time. can hold until the end of 2019.

Since highest price increase by the end of 2017 and many persons began to sell panic. So far the market has been unable to recover. However, the market will return to growth at the end of December.

Obviously, without any major movement, we can't do anything as this point but to wait till the bulls get ahold of this market. Altcoins has suffered almost 90% and there's no sign of recovery. So let's be positive that 2019 will bring a new hope for everything so that altcoin market will have a good bounce eventually.

I agree with you mate, all of us are waiting for a good prices for this year a $10k for bitcoin is good enough to end this year with a kick. I'm hoping for that and next year will be another journey to us.

Yes, "the winter is coming" :) The way I see, we will not follow the path we had last year, and also in 2018. For some reason, many people think, it is so easy to read the crypto market, but actually, it is not, there are patterns of course, but when we would start to use them, they fade away.

You know what dude?Its better not to expect bullrun so we will never feel the failure again

Because for me this is much better having stable prices than a bullrun but only a product of bubble or manipulations

Look at what happen last ATH when January arrived the value drops drastically and now all of us are trapped in dip

well for me, i don't really expect anything from any of altcoin price to rise up. but i'm pretty sure, that this coming december it will start to go up and pump the price this coming 2019. let's just pray for it.

December 2017 bull run was totally unreal. Every coin was up, even the useless ones. Now, step by step the good projects will rise. Just trust the process!

I'm in the same situation with you pal.Been tempted to sell all mine already due to financial problems also.But maybe I'll just leave some of it since I do have many of it from airdrop and bounty.Hoping it won't get hacked again but time of waiting.I guess year 2020 will be the start of rising.

Unlikely to happen this year. no sign of approval yet.

either top coin persist or new coin will take over top spot. too much scam coin create last hype. most of the investor already loose hope to old coin. new project is much more promising.

absolutely what we hope seems like at the end of the month it will not happen for Bull Run, so we pray that I hope that in the coming year the market will experience an excellent price increase

there is no guarantee if the market will grow in this year,,
now we are in november and next month is december,,
just my big hope if this year we will not see the bull,, i hope next year the bull will coming  ;)

I think December is not enough for the market recovery. It will take some extra time to take the growth in the market situation.

December is not over yet. It seems to me that growth will begin only after Bitcoin drops even lower, I think that the lowest point after which growth can begin is approximately the level of $ 2,700. According to my calculations, it is there that the market will turn.

seems not to be as expected in December. bitcoin is getting down $ 3,300 and ETH $ 84. this is increasingly alarming but it seems that investors are getting ready for bullish waiting for the right time

Guys, I don't have any hope for growth, so december is a real bloodbath for me.
I lost my funds again and have no idea how to return my portfolio balance back

December has already come, but there are no prerequisites for the large growth of the cryptocurrency market. I think the market recovery will be slow.

Did you invest money that you cant afford to lose it? Every price before when the cryptomarket was booming is just a speculative price.
There are not many altcoins that are already delivered value to the market and have some demand so logically you still cant make profit now. But not all of them of course..

for now I guess not, but the profits from the investments we do now we can get some year in the future, where the market will again grow, and many benefits we will get. Maybe not this year, hopefully next year.

There is still almost 3 weeks remaining for it be happened . Given the fact that everybody is expecting a bull run this month so let us just wish that bitcoin and altcoin will make a big pump before 2019 enter .

well, hope for crypto this month I think it's over, and we have to look forward, because I think the end of the month this year is not a good year for cryptocurrency. well, we must improve this development in 2019 which will get.

yes you are right this December there is no good news and I am very not sure if in December this price will not be able to increase prices. so you should not be too sure about a situation like this that there will be many traps that will lurk.

I think December will end as it started, there will be no significant changes, the movement will start after the holidays

Its very funny ,when it was jul all we said september is coming ETF would be approved bull is coming next we said december is coming we would be bull like las year and now when irs dec 8 we can see eveything is much more bad we could imagine.

How you can hope that market will recover in next 3 weeks ? There is no fundament for it.Maybe there could be little FOMO before BAKKT in january (well if it will not be delayed again).

Crypto market is unpredictable and anything can happen in 3 weeks before we end this year. I'm hoping for a recovery but I'm not expecting too much in a volatile market. A little rebound could be a wonderful gift this Christmas season.

- Although I am very sad and do not even want to face this reality but I think we should accept the fact that December will not have any growth, should not continue to have hope because if we are so hopeful and trusting, the truth will only make us sadder and more disappointed than ever. I do not object to what you say is the crypto market is unpredictable but the chances for that can happen are too low, green can not sustain for too long in this market, red has pinched all, do not see any basis for the market can create miracles, everything is just a sad and disappointing atmosphere

yeap, every month now is getting even worse than previous one was, already prices on all alts and even bitcoin dropped so hard, market cap is 107 billions now, i wonder when it will be less than 100 billions, i guess till the end, i dont know what to expect already in crypto  >:(

no one can ensure that this December will experience a price increase and no one can provide that guarantee, so don't expect it to rise in December.

Don't expect any significant growth this year again in the price of altcoins.  The market is continuously going bearish and for now few new investors are coming into the market.  I could remember that cryptocurrencies market industry is not giving good profits now and investors are reducing they risk by stay away from the market.

There will be no growth this year. Might as well hold off thinking that until a few months into 2019. All of the confidence has left, time to just pick up amazing projects at low prices and get ready

I think to make predictions on the last 1-2 years is not smart. If it was at 2017 it will not definitely at 2018. We have different conditions: informations, community, hype, adoption. I don't wait any growth at the last 3 weeks before NY. Buy - trade- hold. Nothing more

I dont understand why people are waiting for a start of a bull run at the end of the year. We have seen some bullish movement at the end of some years but these movements were not supported by the fundamental analysis.
I think we are near the bottom and the reverse of the trend is just a matter of time but this is not because of this "December" psychology. The reverse is near because of the technical and fundamental analysis of BTC

Yes, it's dreams only. One year of dump need to be glad to finish  ;D I think we can go lower till $2.5-2.8 simply. Yes, I don't want it but my dreams are not important. Because we have such a situation on the market that I don't wait for any growth. Maybe close to Bakkt or ETF we can see that but today we don't have any reasons

Altcoins show a real development right now.Yes they will develop, but at the moment this will not affect the price.When the market maker wishes, prices will be affected at that time.

For me, I'm not surprised at altcoins prices at this time. It looks so small, about one fifth of the original price, but things like this don't happen once. Almost all altcoins will definitely experience things like this. Prices drop in a certain period, can be 1 year, 6 months, and others. Therefore just believe that the price will rise again

There is one assumption that price increases will be Altcoin influenced by BTC. Where is the moment we still wait until January 2019 that BTC is waiting the approval of the ETF. So December is indeed not yet seen all the Altcoin the price improves. We wait for this hope in the year 2019.

We're just assuming that crypto will bounce back in the 4th quarter as it is mostly happen in previous years.  This kind of assumptions will made us hopeless and don't know what to do if we fail.
Many people get into troubled with their investment since they aren't even gain profit since joining. This might be a big challenge for us and for everyone.

bitcoin is struggling too much to recover until markets raise altcoins will be dead don't buy altcoins if price is high slight fall in markets will cause the altcoins price fall more   

It seems like this December there will never be a bull run because a bull run will never happen if there is no good news, and now it is very difficult to be able to recover the price.

The bull run isn't tied to news. There's been some very positive news in the last few weeks but the market is so bearish that it doesn't respond to it at all. Think of it like a snowball rolling down a hill, it just gets bigger and picks up more speed and it will take something huge to stop it in its tracks, more likely it will just reach the bottom and over time melt away as the warmer weather comes around, then slowly it will evaporate and that's the bullish movement.

The maximum that can be hoped for in December of this year is a good rebound in the price of Bitcoin, which can reach $ 5,000. That would be a good Christmas present.

is there any information available about upcoming etf? any date maybe and where it will happens?
hope that it finally will be positive for btc, but if all previous wasnts, idk what we waiting  >:(

Many people believed that December would bring us good profits. But at the moment, the cryptocurrency market is not recovering.

Market won't recover until there is some positive news like ETF approval or some other factor. It is going to stay weak this month as it seems now.

It can be really cool, but if a miracle does not happen, the market will stay the same. I mean, we will not see the fast movement of the cryptocurrencies, and Bitcoin, first of all.

I’m not expecting growth this December anymore, maybe some investors might cash out for Christmas expenses that will only contribute to the dip, yet 2018 is still a good year for me since it gives me goodstart during January since most alts peak I have no regrets.

These both are now the reasons for increasing the price of Bitcoin as they both can bring a lot of more investors to invest trillions of dollars in Bitcoin then we will see a fastest rise in the value of Bitcoin. Besides that we can support Bitcoin and can invite people to invest in it if we all first hold to make the price stable.

that is why during this past dips, it is better to invest for long term and never ever try doing a short term investments due to the market condition, it will only give you lot of stress.

Yes, this is a real challenge.A real investor appears in such periods, and if he succeeds, he gains a lot.

Indeed, the current conditions are many who are disappointed, December is gray with crypto values. Various attempts were made to be able to restore the altcoin value but in reality, it was like the current market. So it requires hard work to have better values.

I think like in a past bitcoin will grow firstly and then there will be a growth for altcoins.
It is market tandency, market cycle. nothing new happens here

There is no law in the cryptocurrency market, so any forecasting market is basically a lie. This is a controlled market. The cryptocurrency market will only rise when capitalists need to enter. I never believe in predictions. The cryptocurrency market is now very depressed..

i think still there till quarter 2 markets should shows some signs of recovering so alts may not show up movements still , we have to hold our investments little longer   

And why be growth, where do the bulls come from, when everything is done for a further slew, and not flourishing. They do not see this technology as the future, so they are afraid to get involved with it.

I do not think that in December we will see a rise in cryptocurrency. most likely growth will begin in early 2019. Now is a great time to buy Altcoins.

many people have started to go and think there is no hope, it looks like the cryptocurrency is governed by a group to die or how this is a very painful situation for the crypto community

What do you mean? The market is falling, does this mean that it is agony, and all crypto will die according to "their" desire?

I do not see any signs that would indicate that growth will begin by the end of the year. I see the situation is getting worse. Bitcoin is falling even lower. I expect it will cost 2500$.

We see how large funds / banks invest in crypto and blockchain technology. Bitcoin is not dead. The market is cyclical and soon we will see a reversal. The market cannot move in one direction all the time.

Growth will be in December....2019... But seriously, the market for a year or two went down, growth is not planned, we all need to understand this.

yes we don't see a sign of a rise in the crypto market, maybe this year it will be bad, not like last year maybe this month was the worst phase of last year's increase.
large number of coinholders sell almost all of their assets.
then they ready for buyback again.

only this time in December the price of cryptocurrency has no movement, in 2018 the price of the cryptocurrency fell and it was difficult to be able to raise prices again, usually when the end of the year there will be a rise in the price of the current will not occur in 2018.

yes maybe if it's not December it might be next year or next year, because no one knows when it will grow. if this December I think is impossible because the price continues to decline.

The time until the end of the year is constantly running, and we still don’t see enlightenment in the growth of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies! But hope still remains a miracle!

Now it's December but there is no sign that the price of coins will increase. What the market shows is just a downward movement and this makes a lot of people confused by crypto's market situation. But we also don't know what will happen at the end of the year and near the beginning of the year, hopefully, there will be an upward movement.

It is still a great hope for everyone who joins the crypto currency world, the bull run must be very much awaited. but if it's not yet time this year will be a sad year. even the last week of December this year was not encouraging.

Now there is no real growth. But if you look at the crypto market the price of coins is slowly rising and for the end of this year a big surge, I don't think that happens. Now hoping that entering 2019 the price of coins can begin to recover.

This is also speculation, why do many people expect the December price to rise? in my opinion there is no definite thing in crypto, last year at the end of the year prices could rise because of many supporting issues and news, but conditions have changed man, so I hope you can understand, hope that next year conditions can be better..

People will expect a sudden increase and when they drop they keep roaring about the cryptocurrency, it is impossible for any market to keep on increasing their values. So we need to be patient until the market starts recovering.

End of the 2017 was great for everybody and we earned good money, after this we lost much also and people thought end of the 2018 can be similar with 2017 but unfortunately we dropped much after november.

And what's not  growth of the ether by about 7%, and Bitcoin has also risen a bit. So I think this is the real outcome of the year, and the massive rise of which you expect will be in a year.

At least there is a good chance for a market that is currently green, and many hope that the closing of the year-end will keep the altcoin value green.
A little pump will definitely be better and demand will increase.

Past results doesn't necessarily predict future results.
There is no guarantee that history will repeat itself, in fact history rarely if ever repeats itself exactly anyways.

I have noticed that after ethereum growth altcoins haven't grow a lot. You know, there isn't such increase in altcoins compared to ETH

Indeed, I do not see a strong growth in the cryptocurrency market lately. But I hope that the market will still recover and give us a good chance to earn.

December is already over, and we have never actually seen market growth in the second half of 2018. Therefore, it is really very difficult to say what will happen to the price of Bitcoin and another cryptocurrency in the coming year. Considering that this year was one of the worst for users of cryptocurrency, next year there can not be the same bad year even according to the theory of probability. Therefore, we will prepare for the best.

December is here and it's ending today, The year is ends as we look forward to possibilities of the new year! I think pleasant surprise await  the patience , the believer and the passionate! It is last chance for those that are yet to buy these cheap prices!

Still, the market is in great fluctuation which we cannot able to predict the prices and how long it will continue because in the current situation it is impossible to guess the value and how long it is going to take to increase the prices.
