The year 2018 is about to close and yet we are still looking, hoping and even praying for some "miracle" to happen to market that can induce the dreamed bull run we all are wishing for! Some people have already resigned to the idea that maybe it will never happen this year but in the next or 2019 though some are also saying that there are still many days left for this year -- who knows what can be?

I am then wondering: if the so-called bull run will not be happening within this year  do you think we can be facing a gloomy 2019 or will there be an otherwise reaction to it? What do you think...gloom or boom?

Dude, it's not like a bull in 2017 this year. That's why we have to adjust ourselves to this worst-case scenario. But hopes for 2019 are more than fresh. The crypto money sector wants very strong patience and detailed research. We'il wait and see what happens.

Nevermind the year s yet to be over and we still have 2 months left. It could be like 2017 where in Nov - Dec show the action of all time high and so in this year as well even if we see some 50% of the bull run we should be set for the next year. So all hopes still alive.

Just wait for ETF approval in q1 2019 and we will have a new bullrun.
Also, WhaleTank thinks that bullrun will start in Novemebr

The so-called bull run will NOT happen this year. I think it is time for you and all of us to accept that. We should have accepted it months ago,,, but of course people are used to things happening so quickly in just a few months so they thought, maybe bull run is delayed. But mind you, in 2 months left of this year, the crypto market can also dive just as easily as it can climb.

Also,,, even if bull run happens now, the best it can do is recover to levels of 50% of the peak. This means BTC 10k and ETH $650. That for me is best case scenario, which will not happen this year.

I will believe you that the bull run will take place in November,we know together that now is October still a few days into the new moon.Hope will always be there if thought together,our fellow traders must be optimistic to increase market demand.I think 2019 will be boom.

The market has been in stagnation for a number of months now, this period can't go on forever and is normally followed by some bullish movement instead of bearish. Of course history is not a fully accurate guide of what will happen in the future. When the good days return it will be 10% increases over a week or two instead of over a day for the first number of months, the market will need to build up momentum again.

I think that if there is no growth this year and at the beginning of 2019, the growth can begin according to the usual scenario in the spring of 2019.

Booming 2019 that's my opinion if no bull run for this year.

No matter how bad the market for this year, I'm keeping optimistic with the possible outcome of the next year. We will not be always on the dip and having not so broad experience but still accountable one, all I say is bulls would come as long as we've been through a big dip.

I don't think there will be either gloom or boom. The market has gone sideways for a long time and there is no sign of any major pump. The bakkt might kickstart the bull run but the ETF's are not going to be approved for a long time

If there is no growth in the value of cryptocurrencies in 2018, then you will need to wait about six months. This is due to the fact that the negative mood in the market is not so fast to change to positive. This takes time.

 :D ;)

There's nothing much to hope for in this year because the market of this is late for any bull run to occur and if any bull run happen now it will lead to another correction because manipulation will be involve which could also cause some gloomy in the year 2019.



I believe you dont even go through the OP message because the OP was actually talking about the state of the cryptocurrency market not a token or coin with the name gloom and boom.

We need to be patient and wait. No one knows when the boom will start. Until the end of the year, another 2 months and the growth of the crypto market can begin at any time. Maybe another scenario and the growth of the crypto market, we will not see this year.

Maybe there will be no darkness, but the fact that intensive growth should not be expected for sure. Therefore, all investors should understand that they will not compensate all the losses for the year, and forecasts of returning to the previous level are possible only by the end of next year.

Anything can happen in the cryptocurrency market. The two months to end the year can bring a surprice to the market by turning things around for good. Since the market has been stable for sometime now, it is possible for it to broom in the coming days before 2019

Sec already rejected ETF a couple of times isn't it enough for you to think that there will be no ETF this year but i am currently watching on the news of Bakkt if there will be some good news from them this year.
Just relax already if you do have a problem with the market it is just a normal cycle in the market and nothing to get serious about it.

In December we get Bakkt and NASDAQ. This doesn't necessarily mean boom but it certainly means we're not in gloom. These exchanges are the foundation we need for the explosion of institutional investment, and it's oh so close.

I think there is a chance of good run in december again this year but im not sure how big it will be, most probably market will go down more first then it will bounce back quickly in december and we may see some sort of reversal from there but personally i do not expect big bulls considering the last 10 months of market situation.

Adjusting and expecting a worse case and best case scenario is what I think should a crypto users, investor and trader must have since this market is very unpredictable and the market can really have low points like what we have right now so being ready is a good trait to have since you will not always stress yourself in the situation the market is in.

If it's going to be a year of red, that is going to be fine for me. But I hope it goes up this December because it is going to be Christmas season and at the same time there is a lot of sales in malls. But if not, I am also looking forward to investments on cheap altcoins.

Hopefully will end up of a little bit increase so we have something to prepare during Christmas season. Its still have time for these but ain't sure we've got it cause we are still depending on the market demand.
I know we are all worried and get bored of a long time bearish season but we can't do nothing rather than of keeping in trust with crypto survival.

For the remaining two months before the end of this year, anything can happen. Bitcoin can very quickly start to grow in price and make a difference in the market in just one day. Therefore, we hope and look forward to a miracle. There is still time and a lot of it. If such a miracle does not happen by the end of the year, the frustration of cryptocurrency users and potential investors will be great. This, in such a case, may entail a long stagnation next year. However, let's hope for the best.

We cannot compare from last year bull runs upto this year. Because of the possibility price of crypto would not be the same can happen this year. Let us not lose hope the situation this year patience could have a help for out portfolio.

The winter of crypto has arrived. I gave up my expectations for the bull market. I don't believe any predictions. I am not a very pessimistic person, but crypto has made me lose a lot of money, and it has not let me see the hope of recovery!

I think the bull run like 2017 is not coming this year however it can come in 2019 or 2020.

maybe at the end of the year we see a bit of the market going up but it's not a bull run ... my predictions in 2019 prices will remain stable and 2020 bull run will come back again

Perhaps there won't be a "bull run" just yet but historically the price doesn't stay in such a narrow range for too long and there's plenty of indicators to suggest there may be a breakout on the upside however, the exact opposite could occur obviously

It's a bit disappointed to see the bull run didn't happened even though there is so many good news, but I think I am still happy with the current price, it show a great increasing from year to year, and there is no reason for gloomy, as long as it still accepted there will be hope crypto could rise again

In dealing with market conditions and conditions like this, it is true that we only need to adjust to the current scenario and we do not need to think negatively of this bad situation, we are sure that hope must exist, but we cannot just wait for us to remain move to trade activities and so on.

How I wish a Sr. Member like you would think like a pro and not like a newbie. There is no hoping for a miracle here. There is simply patient waiting. The circumstances at the moment is not something that is beyond control. All these have already happened several times in the past. Take note that, like candles in the charts, if there is gloom there is boom next, and vice versa.

hopefully we can see miracle in December that the market will go recover, but if not maybe the next year will boom, it just like happened in the year 2014 that the bitcoin was down so much it was gloomy for bitcoin that time, but in the 2015 it starting to grow so I believe that the market will recover in the next year.

the problem with altcoin investors is that they always "hope for profit" instead of going at it seriously and "make profit". the profit is out there, it doesn't come to you. you have to seek it out and try gaining it by trading not by bag holding.
waiting for a "bull run" means you will be missing out a lot of opportunities. for example those who have been waiting for the pumps to come for the past 10 months have lost about 80% of their investment while the rest of traders have already tripled their money.

Well they did say q1 2019 but even then that seems to be too optimistic, I don't think it would trigger a bullrun anyway, nothing really would at this stage, it would just have to be a gradual shift in outlook from pessimistic/neutral to optimistic. Bakkt are only going to enable more people, they're not really investing anything themselves so again I don't think that will be as big as people are making it out to be.

Still, have a couple of months left to finish this year who knows the next two month could be bull run, I want to remember you about last year! No one thought Bitcoin can go 19K USD even in November! But, As an investor, I feel like 2019 will be a gala day for the crypto market at the same time price will be Increasing like a bull run race, not 2018.

Let’s wait for the best with fingers crossed. If that is what going to happen, why not throw in your money in the game to own what will be very expensive in future at a lower price today.

But I rather to stay neutral and do not believe these news because you are assumed to be rational and you act only when you have the market signals and not the news from some one who tries to manipulate and alter your investment patterns. This is my opinion and yours could be entirely different.

Just to be sure, bull will come on 2020 due to this: BITCOIN ‘HALVING’ 2020 (https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-halving-2020-what-will-the-price-of-bitcoin-be/)

And anyone that want to check on how long do we have to wait.

We need 555 more days.

November started still there is no growth in bitcoin price, So we cannot expect the bull run this year. The chances are very less to touch $10k itself this year. At the end of this year it will be around $8k. So we can expect the moon by next year only.  This year is not good for bitcoin with in one month I think there is no change and significant growth.

This is completely irrational to interlink the Bull Run with a particular month or date of the year. Things back then had been good and that is why the market had Bull Run. Lately things have been unwell for the investors and the market so it cannot be expected sooner.

In addition, when you have knowledge, you do the best thing irrespective of if the market is down or up. So in the mean time, when wisdom requires you to do is to own what is available at low cost and will be expensive in future. The future is of course the near future no doubt.

Looking on the news about cryptocurrency on the past few days, most of them is about calling for an adoption and advertisement to present bitcoin to the world. Honestly, I don't expect a bull run this year and looks a preparation for the a massive adoption and bull run next year. We better invest and get those potential altcoins this year as many as possible because 2019 will surely be harvesting time for a profit. We just have to be patient and it will surely be rewarded.

I think that there will still be a big increase at the end of this year and the beginning of 2019. you just have to wait

It is not some people it is most of people and those experienced all read long time ago. It is impossible to have bull run in this 2 months.  There is less and less chances there will be any next year. I mean start is possible, but bull runs start really slowly.  So there is no chances Bitcoin reached $20k next year. 2020 is a year for you.

I think that you must first express your facts along with thoughts, so that it does not sound like empty words. But users of cryptocurrency hope for positive changes in the cryptocurrency market, but it is not necessary to expose it as a fact.

November is a period of boom in exchange rates, and the market will recover quickly. ETH rates will increase to more than $ 1,000, and BTC will exceed $ 20,000 in early 2019. So resume to hold the cryptos and expect the price to reflect because I believe that the cryptos will never die!

I don't think the next bull run is going to take place in 2019 but rather 2020. the bitcoin bull run normally take 3-4 years before the next one.

Crypto space is very shaky, what we expect sometimes don’t happen. It’s not over yet, I believe its a game of patience and accumulation. Altcoins move independently despite of the bear market if they have made accomplishments, I think we don’t need to rely only on ETF’s and fake demands because there are other good points to see  aside from that.

Taking a look back on those past years, the reversal would come after a year.

But if you're right on this then there's no problem with that. I'm okay waiting until the next halving on 2020 which will give assurance and confidence that the bull run would come by that year. There's more to expect but I wouldn't go further so I won't break my expectation.

that's right, we don't need to overestimate ourselves because cryptocurrency is always difficult to be certain when it is not in line with expectations it will cause unnecessary disappointment, we just need to follow the flow of the journey made by cryptocurrency from year to year.

Following the flow is what we've been doing and this market is now changing its course to survival at the fittest.

Just don't put too much expectation to the market and just go as it is so you won't have that type of disappointment that everyone is experiencing now. That's the problem of most, if they only see the gloom, they will think that it won't change and its going to be gloom forever.

2018, remain the most uncertainty years in the history of cryptocurrencies market. For the remaining two months we do know what will really happen as the bear and the bull I claiming that the trend is to their favor.  I think we should wait for 2019 before expecting another bull run.

I'm not sure there will be a surprise at the end of this year,
there is no indication of the market chart to grow. however, we have hope that in 2019 the market will begin to grow by running Q4 which will help grow in the market

Before we can even start seeing any serious upward movement, the market will most definitely take time to develop. We have been in a bear market for a while now, we have seen the way most of the markets have behaved lately, and we sure can see how well most of the altcoins are trying to make a push for it.

All the above, if we really have to look at bitcoin, there may be some likelihood of seeing some little movement upward before the end of the year, which may likely help give the altcoins some breathing space, but for bitcoin, I would not expect too much at all.

The market need our patience for us to makes money from it.  Now provide the best opportunities for us to actually make money.  In trading you should know that some time we can have gloom and boom and we should see both as opportunity to buy or sell.

I think that prices will rise in the next few months, but not back to the 2017 heights. Slow and steady rises are more healthy and more sustainable. I sort of don't want another mega-rise as it would most likely lead to another big dip.

I won't actually want to put too much mind on the possibility of a huge move upwards before the end of the year. Sure, the optimism in the market has been growing stronger for a while now and there is actually a lot to look out for when it comes to the value of the market increasing gradually.

There is a likelihood we might see a bull run for most of the altcoins before the end of the year, but in every case, we still have to consider the fact that this is something that will still have a lot to do with the movement of bitcoin as the case may be. However, things get to turn out though, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

I think you are right. Moreover, the news background in December can turn the market up and growth will be very strong
