I see a very good increase in the last 2 weeks, but the slight increase was immediately ended by falling back. some say this is just a lure to attract buyers and then the market falls again.

What is your opinion?

Possible! but no one really knows yet volatility do really works on this way.Either its a bull trap or just a typical price consolidation after a certain pump.We have seen countless scenarios
or situations like this.If you can able to utilize such movement then you would make profits if you exit on the right time.If not then you would be got caught on the dump.

Honestly,  it is!  And we should expect another on the first day of the new year.  These movement and market behavior is influenced by holiday festive season and thus trend us predictable!  There is always opportunities in cryptocurrency,  you just have to train yourself to see it!

do you mean to sell all my assets when there is a slight increase, then get out of this industry? No friend, I have entered this industry not only for investment, but also for bounty campaigns. whereas when the market is red, bounty is also not paid. I do believe in the crypto market volatility, but so far there has been a slight increase, but the fall is even deeper.

Maybe . maybe not but still it good time to buy before it goes up next year

like there is no movement at all in the market, the market cap is silent but the price is still up and down. is all this controlled? we don't know either. but clearly, many say that January will be the beginning of a bull run.

Those pumps were made my whales so that they can dump their coin on average price.

It is starting to recover a bit but suddenly it fell.

It means that there are positions that are ready to sell at $4,000 and these people had automatically set their prices and its their target. And my advise is try not to look to the everday chart but look at the fundamentals and long term with it.

Sometimes I think it's a trap this has been repeated so many times in the past three weeks I almost lose my money lucky me the market dip before I made a purchase, thinking it's time to buy because we are heading now to a bull run I was wrong but I am still keeping watch on the market.

I honestly don't know what to believe anymore lol one minute i think its shooting up, then it drops, the it goes back up. I think spinning the dice has a better outcome.

I don't know this is lure or not, but I know there are some people profit 2x their assets in a week. Why don't you think this is a chance to buy while it is low again?

I don't know, I can't explain this yet, in my opinion the market is currently recovering to get back up, of course this requires time, while waiting for you to still be able to invest, the more often you invest, the better future results will be.

A little suspicious about that, the price of cryptocurrency rose exactly two days before Christmas and the day before Christmas the price dropped again.

I guess the short term investment is a safe road for the end of this year, hopefully 2019 there will be a significant increase.

I wouldn't say it is a bull-run already, but it is not just a bounce. Not only the price is up, but the market cap is also recovering and keep increasing, so it's just a matter of time before we see a real bull-run. However, if you want to put a lot of money on crypto, I don't think it's the best time, research carefully before deciding anything though.

Its hard to say about this. Cause this market is purely volatile. But for last few weeks we saw a jump on price. On every mid and high cap coins. There some good news regarding ethereum and some other coin. But the main thing is we have support on bitcoin price at 3300-3400 so whenever we enter that zone and if we stay there for one 2 days we saw normally a jump. And when bitcoin go up we saw market in green. And the problem that we back from the 4300-4400 zone is that there was a hard resistance in 4300-4400 and bitcoin is unable to break the resistance twice and every time bitcoin bitcoin failed its back to a Lowe level price point. So if bitcoin break the resistance we will see a run till 5500 or maybe higher.

The reason why the market down again is because we will going through 31 december and every year market always down in the end of december and will rise again in january but it will just  a short increase in january.

I should agree with it, that can be considered as a bull trap. When the market was building its momentum and a bunch of bad articles were appearing as whole of press are taking the advantage to attract a lot of readers.
The previous pump just like a bulltrap only.

This is the market, welcome to market cryptocurrency.
Where, up and down the price cryptocurrency, always without be fathomed.
This is a test for holder a cryptocurrency, whether they will be affected by price play, or stay loyal until the price is completely normal.

No suggestion, wise in manage you asset.

seems that whales played well attracting investors to buy in when the market rise up a little, afterwards they shake it again and leaving this people being trapped inside, we can't say when will be the exact time to see the real bounce to happen and the bull to run strong again, but time will come and everything
will be good again.

No one knows the exact reason.... Some experts are saying BTC will hit 6k$ before december ends and some are saying it will hit 3000$. So crypto market is not predictable at all.

This is just a negative news for those who have dumped and want to hurt all those who hold altcoin like us, I think. Although the price has decreased, it is very small, only a few hundred and not too big. You keep calm and keep your altcoin and the crypto market will give you an appropriate answer in the future  ;D

Yes, I think it was just a little bounce, market will continue to fall and 2019 will be a hard year for crypto.

I think the same, this only attracts investors, then falls back after the one who made the game gets a good profit.

I do not think that the next bull phase has arrived yet, this is most likely a temporary rise as the market was oversold and will settle again into moving sideways. I am expecting to see the next bull phase in late Quarter 1 or early Quarter 2 of 2019.

Who knows, as you can see before... many of us said that 2018 will be more profitable. But we see a different direction, so at this point... there are still hope in 2019 ( a positive percentage of rising up again ). For me, it will be more interesting on this up coming year 2019, just stay tune.

After the sharply decline process, the market must go up a part, it looks like when a ball fall down strongly to ground and turn it back

And it can be said with a slight increase, then too much decrease. Maybe it's a strategy to attract the attention of investors, making crypto fans smile a little as a final prize in 2018. Depends on how to react for the last few weeks. Everything still can't be seen extraordinary. :P

we can only speculate.  of course, we would always want a bullish market. but seems the bear just doesn't want to be ignored yet.

The recent increase in the price of bitcoin can not be attributed to any factor I take it as a normal occurrence in the market since cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and subject to the force of demands and supply once there is high demands the price will go up and if there is low demand the price will fall and in recent time there is no significant event in the cryptocurrency world so at that the increase in price was just a rutin happening that is why it was not long before the market went back to $3000+ again.

no mate it's not a trap to attract buyers ,because  this slight dump and pump nowadays  is just a normal reaction of market because of being still so volatile "especially as of now wherein other holder/traders is gaining quick profits." when there's a small progress ! So don't be confused why there's always a fluctuation of price. If i were you if you want to invest just put your money and hold for long term. Because patience is a virtue!  And as the matter of fact this market will not die!

maybe, but basically no one can know what will happen next. now I just go with the flow when the market has improved, I sell. but if it's true as you say it really hurts. Hopefully the price of coins on the market continues to rise, there is no word to retreat.

Maybe there are some people who though the bull run will begin by 2019 so they prepared for that buying at cheap prices but there are some other people who use this condition to make some quick profits by dumping their coins.

Bait?? Cryptocurrency is very volatile and falling after growth is a predictable situation. Growth is not avoided, only you can wait a very long time.

Yes, I also feel that the increase in the price of Bitcoin is only Bouncing, because now the Bitcoin price is back down, now we have to be careful if we want to buy BItcoin at the current price. Because the market conditions are not good.

Uuhm maybe it is, but this happens all the time, last week wasn’t the first time it was happening. Do you remember when the price was around $6000 and suddenly it bounced to $7000/$8000 and a lot of people started calling it a Bull and many people were talking about whether to invest or not, but all of a sudden the price dropped to $4000 within few minutes.

It hard to guess since because this is how the cryptocurrency market really works. But it is possible that it is just a bounce, to trap buyers.

All of these are a part of being a volatile market that too high fluctuations that nobody knows that where way to lead, is it going down or up.
We should patiently wait until when the market fully recovers to gain our profit when we start to invest and lucky for those people invested around almost 2k dollars on the Bitcoin price.

That is an only fluctuation, my friend because of the highly volatile that happened on Bitcoin price. There is also another side that we may look, they called it a whale who manipulating the market to have big changes in the market price movement. But despite on this happenings now we should hold tight our belt not to panic and sell, have patience and wait until you have gained from your investment, time can tell when the right time to bounce crypto market price.

I believe in the second choice. Why ? because the market goes down much easier than the market goes up. that we can see during this 2018. the most bleak year for crypto, it seems that the end of the year will be even worse. Market to go up will take a short time, other factors will also affect the future

It's to early to say anything. Maybe it's a bull run or maybe not. This market is highly voletile and it's hard to predict. But I think there is very good support at 3500 area that's why every time BTC reach that point we saw a bounce on btc. And along with btc all market show us green candle. We have to reach 200-250 bln marketcap to start a good run towards bullrun. And if btc can break the 4400 resistance then we will see a good run to maybe 5800 or even 6000. But after long time seeing green market is really relaxing.

This is a difficult psechalogical game. Yes, a fall is possible. But bull is also possible. And the opinion of experts is not straightforward. So just watch the market every day. And everything will be fine.

For long-term investment of course now is not the best time, we have not yet broken the resistance line at the top so the market is still bearish , I believe that we can go down to look for a new bottom, we should expect bitcoin below 2800 , I think it's real

WE've seen a steady rise then pullback. Profit taking at its best.

yes it is more likely a bounce because the price surge was minimal and also there is a new development in terms of the sustainability of the prices. There hasn;t been a massive dump whatsoever

As long as I participated in crypto activities, I did not find the right reason. This can be an increase that has occurred in the past 2 weeks to attract buyers as you say. I agree with you about this.

It looks like normal but we all afraid that the price of bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies will dropped to its bottom. I already see the little changes on price on market and I also think that it might the sign of bull run but I'm wrong. I really hope that declining price will stop now because all of use already experience big losses of funds.

I think yes because of christmas and now people are selling their cryptos , lets hope 2019 is a better year for crypto and we can get some profit out of it!

I don't even know what to think right now. I was very happy few days ago when I say the price increase in the market. Now I am disappointed once again to see the sudden falls.

I don't think the real bulls are back till 2019. 2019 must be a good year tho with all this developments.

Not !! Now the price of bitcoin and other coins has increased above 5%, a sign that the market will return to normal, I know it will not pump high but slowly but surely.

What has happened in the past few days about market prices one must have his own thoughts and judgments, some people think this is an attraction so people will soon buy and the market will drop in price again, some people others think this is a good sign that The upcoming crypyo in 2019 will grow better, so we must be able to think clearly and we must also decide what we have to do, and whatever our decision is, it is within ourselves.

Absolutely I agree. With small increases, they prevent buyers from getting out of the market. then they drop again. Winning whales here. The small investor is always looking for hope. There is little chance of winning in the market now. we only make whales rich.

It's just a rebound, as the cryptocurrency market has been falling for a long time, now it's time to grow. I think that now the market can go back down at any time. I think that Bitcoin can reach in 2019 in January 2000 - 2500 dollars.

in my opinion this is more than just a reflection because the price is too long down and difficult to ride this year, especially this is nearing the end of the year. yes, of course all here wish that way because they miss and look forward to the high crypto period.

In my opinion, the market try to bounce up, Eth fork will affect the all alts therefore i can see the increasing trend in near future. The market cycle will trun normal.

Maybe yes or maybe no. We really don't know what is happening now in crypto market though I will assume that you also believe in cryptocurrency that's why you are here in this forum. A lot of investors already lose patience of what this market could bring and with a lot of negativity happening, there is no doubt that new investors are afraid of putting money in.

Bitcoin should not fall below $ 3000, otherwise the market will panic, so I think. For growth to begin next year, we definitely need to hold 3,000 and go up.

exactly, because the market is already too bad so it is difficult to restore the condition and the increase cannot rise too high, the increase will gradually take place gradually so please be patient maybe next year will be better.

I agree with this opinion. It's not so easy to dump/pump the market without crowd. So I believe that we will see another significant drop in January/February. In my opinion the real bottom will be around 1500-2500$.

You are giving the market some sort of consciousness which doesn't have, the market goes up or down depending on the supply and the demand, this can be affected by several factors like positive or negative news, regulations or even the time of the year, but the supply and demand is what moves the market so I do not really see what's happening as a way to attract new investors, the market is just moving randomly as it always does.

I can not say with certainty, but it seems to me that this is the beginning of a really growing cryptocurrency market and not an attempt to attract new players.
The recovery dynamics are not always stable, but the mere fact of the growth of many coins makes it possible to hope for prospects in future investments.

I don't even know what's going on,
And as a matter of fact, I'm not expecting anything much again from crypto this year, most times , I don't border checking the price value again, but busy doing my campaigns and  expecting the time the price will be good enough to get the reward.

I myself have the opinion that this is just the usual thing when many investors who want to have crypto certainly make the price go up a little and that's crypto slightly up but back down will be even worse, but I hope in the future the crypto price will get better and recover like last year.

It is almost like that! Crypto does follow volatility and it happens everyday! After a good pump ETH price again started dropping and today ETH again showed a decent pump! So i would not call these are a good move of crypto market, just a random bounce! But I believe it can be the signal of a big move to forward!

Surely whales want to buy bitcoin at the cheapest price, therefore, they manipulate the price to go even lower. They want to sow panic in the stone hearts of hodlers, I hope they will not succeed.

This is the reality of cryptocurrency, the market is like a bouncing ball that prices of the digital assets are bouncing going up and down. The volatility of the prices is due to the fact that the value of the coins are based on speculations. However, for some investors they are looking for a recovery for the losses of 2018.

Market is moving up as of this posting. This could just another bull trap similar to what happened before Christmas. Be careful with your trades  :D

yes everyone should be careful the charts increased around 8-10 %  up in around 5 minutes.
So im interested to see whats going on  next days.


regards

That is a good idea to focus on the work not to the blood bath market at this moment. But if you are a trader then you have to check the market price regularly! Though this year almost end, so there is no chance for the crypto to move a high step!

You maybe right, putting some bright spot in the market will lure more investors thus making the market lively again. Hype and speculations are the factors that drive the crypto value as the demand for it will rise once marketed properly.

No one knows what will happen tomorrow . We see that a strong bullish pattern is being drawn, but we do not know whether it will be fully formed or not, and we cannot be sure whether it will work or not until this happens. You need to constantly monitor the market to not miss a strong movement.

Well whatever is this, it makes a little smile on every crypto investor and give him a hope of market recovery soon. If you're a old crypto hunter, then you need to focus on your work rather then market condition. In this world, everything is happen and no one knows what will happen tommorow.

Well, as for attracting buyers it always happen and it also happens not only in crypto but in every trading venture. Attracting investors is what they mean by trading. Anyway this may oray not be the bottom but the spike we experienced recently was followed by a good volume and I even thought we were never going down again. Anyway I hooe this is the true bottom.

Today was grow as well. BTC/ETH +15% during few hours..
It became really complicated for me to predict next step and strategy for future.
Not really sure what to do. Today watched prediction that bear market will be 2 years long.. so one more year.

I believe we are only experiencing what the true nature of cryptocurrency is, no one can truly tell if it is a trap to make buyers to get in and dump on them. This might still be a form of retracing. There are times that when a coin rises, some people might use that opportunity to sell what they have and if it plummets again, they will buy back. That has been the strategy of traders.

Everything is just a normal bounce, don't get too excited about it. Everything will change as soon as the starts of bull run coming. There is no more bouncing back because it will go up to the sky like there is a rocket in it and going to the moon. Then you realize it was the bull that is coming.

I want to say that this is the start of the new bull run, but it is too early at the moment. We all need to wait for about several months and if we would not face another big downfall, we would be able to say that the market has recovered.

I also think it's probably a bear trap and it's very likely we'll fall, so I think we bought an Ethereum below $ 80.

It's not happened only in 5 minutes. If you see the chart, especially bitcoin, price has been increased for around 2 days and then drop again for the next 2-3 days, and now it's starting to bounce again

This is only a reflection of yesterday's decline, or just a trap to get profit for the new year. Maybe if you buy bitcoin on yesterday you can sell it now or sell before the new year, usually as new year prices will decline again. So, be careful don't focus on the increase that occurs, you can see the other side of this.

maybe yes, bitcoin price are bouncing before going down again, this time give the people for selling their bitcoin to fiat and prepare to buy again when bitcoin price are going down again in the next year, especially the begin until middle year

It can be since there is no good news to pump the market but hopefully not to dump again because I believe we already reach the bottom price. Few more days and we will welcome a great new year for cryptocurrency, let’s start the new year will full of hope and joy. 😊

all predictions can be right and can be wrong my friend
and the point is no body know what will happend with the price in the near time,,
for me, now the market run in sideways after the downtrend,,
just be ready for all conditions  ;)

And the chart shows if bitcoin still on the stable condition, but a lot of people are feeling pessimistic by creating a lot of FUD thread to the bitcoin. Here was a lot of possibility for bitcoin to jump back again more than $4200 instantly. 4k rate will break by bitcoin very soon.

in my opinion it's not like that because even though the market has improved, but the market doesn't have to continue to go green.
because the market has been in a bearish condition for so long people will immediately sell the coins they have when prices improve because they fear the market will fall again and their money is trapped again, and this is what is happening now, therefore the market pauses to increase

I am sure that this is really a small Trick from experienced players. The fall should continue for at least another couple of months because there is no positive news. For growth you need patience.

The week-long up and up on prices of digital assets, many cryptocurrency enthusiasts thought of, seemed to be the start of the bullish market. But, after that nice recovery, the market turns into a roller coaster ride with ups and down making the prices of coins luring around certain point. However, I consider these better than downward trend.

A short one can turn into a strong and long one, because people can easily take a short jump in growth as the beginning of a bullish run, and for some time maintain its strength by making regular purchases.

Bounce back with fall is the indicator of the range bound trading .Prices trade sideways it is the sign that market is consolidating provided manipulators are away from the market.

What happened is a normal market behavior and some new investors stated panicking and sell out there holding.  The market most makes corrections as it cannot continue going down or going up. The past price movement is not a trip but a sign that the market is about to recover for 2019 bull run. If you can not invest now that bitcoin has going down again I think it is another opportunity to buy any moment from now.

I agree there is no positive news in the market , I think also that for bitcoin we will update the bottom and go below 2800, it will be better to buy lower than now

As i can see form the market, today the price are increasing again.
I don't really sure if it's just to lure any investors to make an investment or this will become the real bull run.

From my personal analysis this is a pullback of the price known as price action and from indication its obvious that the price had really gain some momentum going by the present state of the price of bitcoin thus heading northward of course Christmas has gone and new year is on the horizon many upcoming fundamental news will triggers spontaneous bullish runs come 2019.

Crypto market is indeed very volatile. but is it only me who feels the market this year is the slowest to rise and continues to show a downward trend?

bitcoin does look stable lately in the range of $ 3800- $ 4000. etherum is the same, in the range of $ 100- $ 130. I think the crypto market is currently still stable and has not shown a significant increase or sharp decline.

It could be that this is a reflection, the crypto market is currently experiencing a cycle and its condition has fluctuated unstable, in this case it must be natural in cryptocurrency, to be able to recover and run normally it certainly takes time

Maybe you were right that this is just a lure for investors, but i hope this isn't just simply a lure for investors then it get dumped again.
Few weeks ago i read a news saying if investors doesn't take the chance now then they would regret if they got left out cause the price increased already.

yeah, it seems like that.
this is only a bait to attract many people interested in the market.

but whatever the reason, i will not stay silent and wait. i will take this opportunity to make a profit. I think this will be very profitable, it's just that i have to be more careful in making decisions.

yes, a lot of good news about bitcoin. but not a few are still hesitant to return to investing in bitcoin because they still think this is just a lure. of course we all hope that this is not a provocation, and really a bull run.

2018 is the year of crypto correction like what happened in 2014. I think there will be a reversal but it's not big and I think it will fall again when hits $ 5200- $ 5500

the best thing is to wait for prices to rise again. but I think this is not a fraud, because the crypto market is indeed volatile. what I mean is whether the market is currently really rising or just a reflection. for an increase or bull run, it will definitely happen but it seems it hasn't been for now.

I think the market is now improving again, just last week what we experienced is a big fall down after a big increase, and again, after fall, increase again. Is it just the characteristic of the cryptocurrency that goes this way? compared to foreign exchange stock market?

Yes, I think the cryptocurrency market is rebounding. Not a bull market. Currently, the bull market needs a good signal to achieve, such as the passage of ETFs. Bitcoin's rebound does not exceed $4,300, and investment should be cautious.

I think it is still hard to tell something about it. We gotta be careful and not put us in a bad position, I would be careful.

I think it is still a part of the bounce and I believe that it will still bounce in the next few days. I believe that this is already expected because the bear market is really long enoughf and we all know that everything in crypto is unpredictable same with the status, the crypto status is always unstable due to the unstable volume of investors so I believe that the price of every crypto coin will soon rise maybe because the number of investors increase.

I am used to such price changes because everyone follows a low-cost trading strategy, and whales always use such strategies to make huge profits.

Relax guys, it's just speculations. It doesn't look like star of next bullrun and I don't think we will go below $100 again. Most likely we stuck in the diapason $100-$150 for long period of time.

The crypto market can do exactly what you said, but I think it is uncertain. Simply telling us that it is a sign of their price increase that still exists and is only hidden at some point will start up, the price will recover and increase strongly. Just my idea  ;D

It is quite possible that this was a simple rebound, but I don’t think so, I think people are preparing for subsequent events and therefore are buying coins!

After the price reaches the highest price, it will go back to the low price for correction because we already see this is happen in many times. But no one will know how far the price could down. We can hope the price doesn't go lower than now so we could still make a profit by buying and selling bitcoin. And if the history repeat then we might see the rising of the price in the next year or 2020 so gets prepare before it's too late guys.

and you can just call it a reflection, because after a very long decline the market needs fresh air and maybe that's what happens now. This increase will mean 2 things, namely to keep going up or they give up and start throwing prices back.

Maybe you are right but we should be happy that there is some spike of the price. It would be a good testament that Bitcoin is still alive and what we should have is a handful of patient for his bear market.

I think thats only one side of the story, As we all know that the crypto-space is at panic mode in the previous months, days due to some unfavorable news that trigger the massive sell off that caused the MarketCap to fall at the lowest level in the previous months But i believe its just a test and it will return to its former level soon!

yes that's why, when good news about bitcoin created make market little growup.
and yes this is just bounce for bitcoin and i think for few days later bitcoin still stable like now before going down again in next year

I do not trust the market right now and i only watch what happens. The last months have unsettled me, how it continues with the crypto market. I am assuming that it will be positive, but still i am uncertain.

At the moment it is impossible to say that this is a turn of the market. In January it will be clear where we will go further, because in January there are many important fundamental events

what will happen in January 2019 we will see if there will be a change that will be even better about price movements in the market, so whatever it is or later, everyone certainly has its own speculations and predictions about crypto prices, so hopefully in the future the future of crypto the can be even better, and far better than this 2018.

You are right, in January of the new year there are indeed several important events planned that may affect the market recovery and the trend change. But you also should not forget that the New Year holidays are coming, which means that many people / investors will not be active in the market of crypto-currencies.

At present, the market cannot be trusted. It is best to wait now and watch the market. This year there are many new people and large companies that are increasingly showing interest in the field of cryptography, who are also now waiting for Bitcoin to grow in popularity again and they will come to this industry.

The market was totally oversold so a bump was to be expected.
If we don't see some bigger pump/price movement I think investors will lose patience and dump again.
Hopefully the hard forks and mainnet launches of 2019 keep is in the green.

I think that even 5200 is too optimistic unless BAKKT finally gets approved. Apart from taht I don't see any positive news not only for the near, but also for the distant future.

Honestly i will not be surprised if it is really a bull trap, i have already seen a lot of them on this market but what i can say that this growth is a fully fake one, from the very beginning of it.
But also i see a great opportunity to make a turn from this position and to make this turn a real one we need to hit the huge resistance on 6300 lvl, and after that we could see a hamster army that will bring us to a new cycle of the market.

I think it's just a correction, even a large growth can not be called. Whales certainly also feel the bottom, but it is too early to talk about a bullish trend.

Yes, I think this is not the last drop. I think we still be a big decline in prices. And when almost everyone believes that the market is dead, it will start to grow again. Will remain the most persistent.

The crypto market seems to be very active at the moment. It goes fast up and down and unfortunately, i do not know what that means either. Either way, it is better than just going downhill.  ;)

Yes, it is true that the cryptocurrency market has rebounded since the 17th, but this time the rebound is not strong. Bitcoin has not surpassed $4,300 so far, so I think the current cryptocurrency market is still in a downturn, and perhaps only a bull market that surpasses $5,000 will come.

Probably some good pump and dump scheme, a pure bounce back has not yet revealed. For now the coins are still struggling on their line of price, and probably still go down.

at first I thought so, but after watching for longer I became convinced that this was not a trap. the market is recovering and will continue until the middle of next year.

You need to keep a look in ethereum, it is likely that during the next weeks ethereum is going to show an important recovery and as we know this probably means that many coins that are using the ethereum network will probably begin to go up in price as well, so this is a good opportunity to multiply the amount of bitcoin that you are holding by investing now in ethereum and many related altcoins.

Continue with your strategy, do not change your strategy everytime when market sentiment changes.
It protects you before FOMO effect or panic.

It's just a rebound, but so far the prices are holding. I think that after the new year prices will have to go down, or even fall, so I'm waiting for another two or three weeks and start investing.

Everything is possible.
The crypto market is relatively small and is therefore easily manipulated. Nobody knows what will happen.
But I still think that by working carefully you can make good money. Obviously, it also takes a good deal of luck.

Yeah, it's just a temporary pump, don't believe the people who are telling that the bull run's finally begun. Not now, maybe in a couple of months, after another huge dump... If you don't want to short, then just hold and wait - as always :)

What you just described as the prices of tokens rising as bait and falling later is called a bull trap, the fact is that nobody knows if this is really the bull market of if it's a bear trap.

This is what is called  trading bounce.  It is not a bull market yet and several event could cause this to happen.  I want  to believe holiday festive season must be the reason for this.  You should expect to see more bounces in price in the new year!

I guess that's just the aay the market moves, no one really knows what will happen in the market. You can never predict the market, most investors are now in shock because a december bullrun never came but some really don't mind that at all.

A small pump to give some hope for the investors, its too early for a bull market because bitcoin needs to pump slowly before it goes higher again. Its good that there’s still a hope, and we should really give up easily just because we lose some money. Its your choice to invest now or wait a little more time to confirm the next trend of bitcoin and other coins.

Bitcoin gets its stability and we hope that the big bullish news will come to drive the bitcoin to the moon. In fact that so many people are still waiting for the bullish trend to have happened. We need a lot of news from institutional investors to create the next FOMO to the crypto market.

The prices as per me has fallen a lot than expected and does not trend to be in this range for long . It has to rise  and with new year , new  people and investment will come and will lead to better demand and increase the prices . So stay invested in this market and rise will happen soon .

At the first moment i thought it was the starting point for the bull run, but after few moments that it dropping again.
Then i thought it's not the starting point for bull run, but it's just merely a regular market pump.

Crypto currencies are very open to speculation at the moment on the markets. We're going to see these kind of fluctuations all the time. We should get used to this for a long time.

For that to happen people will have to first create a strategy, it is not uncommon in the forum to find threads of new members asking for tips on trading, when anyone that has took the time to look at trading knows that is not the way it works, you need to create a strategy first and determine if it is profitable before you even begin to trade and once you know your strategy works then it is way easier to follow it because you will know that if you deviate from it you will lose money.

Increasing after the strong decline is very normal in financial market. But it has not still escaped downtrend yet, so the market will continue to go down

It can't be predicted, the bull and bear trap has made it even more difficult to predict the market direction, so far if you are seeing the market right now and it looks like bitcoin looks very stable. A lot of good news have come and just waiting for the recovery phase to begin. It may take more time to go.                 

going up and down is normal. but the strom will not continue to dominate, and market recognition slowly is normal, before finally being pumped by the bull. so wait and see how the market responds

My personal opinion is, see price story it is still not much increased, and we can called it still stable. Because out there, some people who sell and buy is almost same and holder will stay with their assets.

I think that the cryptocurrency market does not have enough power to drive the rise in the price of the currency. It is impossible to achieve the effect of rising by some individual operations.

I think that these people began to invest in coins in anticipation of further growth on which they are counting on in anticipation of future events!

I agree many are happy that this is a bullish moment , but I think it's too early to talk about it, the market is still bearish and we have not broken the resistance line

You should always hope for the best, but also be prepared for the worst. Therefore I put free fiat money.

I think the market is starting to rebound is a good sign, because it will allow more investors to join the market, which will keep the crypto price at a certain height.

Earlier this year I saw the growth of a good crypto price and I think this is a good development that will take place until the crypto price returns to its peak and hopefully my opinion is correct.

I believe that we cannot really predict what kind of rise is this.  Ethereum is now bounce back from the very huge dip.and we can all see that it is slowly rising up, ethereum is already been expected to rise this year so I think we need to wait for it or maybe prepare on this rise and buy some more ethereum for good.

My opinion is that it is time for the market to recover. Already a huge number of people left the market because of the correction and it's time to come to new investors. Of course I can not say that the market is one hundred percent recovering, but growth gives hope for improvement.

maybe that's indeed a deliberate thing to attract buyers because I think there is someone who can control crypto so we must not be easily affected by prices that suddenly rise because it can be a trap.
but that possibility also makes sense because crypto is influenced by many things that can make it rise or fall suddenly.

I doubt it.  Most likely, people just started buying coins waiting for future events, which in theory should start growing!

Today I do not have any data on this account, because there is simply no news that could be on the Internet today. I see no reason for the growth of BTC, although today it has risen slightly in price.

The crypto market just boring and can be now we are in market capitulation, that mean its times to buy more to recover loss. In my opinion we are already in the bottomed and we need to wait a few month for bull market.

This was said more than once within six months that if the fall is delayed, then sooner or later the price at which the crypto currency will actively buy will be found and the upward movement will begin again

I think that this is not so big increase that we should start lose our minds. But it is definitely good that something is happening and the market seems to wake up

You have a point about the trap of luring investors to buy crypto on an increasing market. But I think the gradual increase is also affected by the movement and development in the ethereum blockchain. As you know, a number of ethereum hardfork is expected this January. This is good news for the crypto world as Eth has returned in the lead for altcoin dominance.

yes, the price increase that we are currently seeing is not too large, so there is still some doubt from some people to return to their investment, but in my opinion even though prices are not too fast to be able to raise prices again, for me this is already marked price recovery again though not too fast as everyone wants.

That always happen in market manipulation. When we experience a bearish market for over a week, it will be used by the whales to create a massive buy request to create a pump then they will sell their holding when reaching 5% to 10% increase. I already experienced that numerous times so it would be better to enter after the price breakout. That is why it always advisable to stay focus when trading.

I think the HYIP around cryptocurrency ended in 2018. Now this period cannot be called popularization. At the moment, the price depends entirely on the purchasing power of investors. Because after a large decline in prices, we see a smooth but steady increase in market capitalization.

Mastering this movements can give you good opportunities, each time there's a big fall it will be followed by a short rise, enter the market in a great timing can bring small earnings, just make sure that you are not too greedy when you see small pumped you better to sell right away and repeat it from time to time, you need to be more focus selecting coins that have strong community supports so if ever that things not go according to your way you would not be burned totally as there's still some barrier to cut your losses.

This rise I think is not even a trailer because when the actual rise happen like 2017 the market will move so quickly that people who are away for even couple of days and once they are back would be surprise to see how quickly the prices could move in bitcoin.

I also cannot predict what is going on exactly. But seeing the progress on the market, it is till changing and fluctuating. We cannot say that the market is stable or will reach the bull-run. Well, hopefully, this is not only a bounce, but a really increasing market recovery.

The market simply behave of what the people do with their coins.  It really affect the market price  once there is a huge amount of coins tranfers. Fluctuation comes every time and there is no reason for complaint. It is our choice to adopt the market or not, cause only risk takers could survive the race.

I think this is normal movement and no one predict the next bull run or price manipulation so try to get profit well in time . little but good.

This is true and I think it is completely accurate compared to the present, just a little time to come and we will have money if you have bought many altcoin before. Act quickly and money will be yours, don't wait for anyone  ::)

I do not think that this is only a small movement, because we are all tired of this fall and it is the right time to come back for crypto currencies, to finally launch the next bull run and maybe to update the price records.

It looks we will see another buy trend again, so far with a lot of bad news and the price of bitcoin still remain stable and that shows good support has already achieved by bitcoin.
Once that happens and then bitcoin could go to the moon instantly. 

I think many have already told you that any drop in prices for cryptocurrencies is replaced by an increase. This is a wrong statement. I believe that the noise around cryptocurrency has died down. Now the price is affected only by the quality of the product and no more.

  If it is not the perfect bounce I am sure that day is not so far when we will see huge bounce in price. Everything will be fine but it takes time to over take the lower price permanent.  We will have to hold patience and now is best time we should buy more and more so that later on when price will again over take we should wait.

That’s call the volatility mate and as you said this is very normal thing according to me. Rise and fall is part of crypto currency. To the point where you just said that market will continue to fall so there I disagree because graph of price has started to move up this is now time to see some more high bounces within few months.

I agree with you , the current state of the market is quite stable and stronger than before , there is no sharp decline so I think we just waiting to see market conditions rise

I think that this is a normal growth in the cryptocurrency market and approximately from these levels we can expect further price increases

I didn't see it as a means to lure people to buy and market dumps afterwards but rather it's a steady upward movement on the curve ushering in new good time for diligent fellows, ethereum is growing now and I hope it keeps this momentum or skyrocket

Well, the bullish trend certainly does not seem , I also believe that the rebound , but for example Ethereum, I doubt that it was a rebound it shows a bullish trend , and I believe that part of the funds can buy Ethereum, and bitcoin I think will fall to 1800

I think the pump is happening because of the upcoming Ethereum hard fork. We can expect a good pump even after completion of the hard fork! I don't think whales are the reason for this pump, it is like an ordinary.

that is what i am thinking too and also the news about ETF and Bakkt might be giving some impact on the current market, everyone are now buying ETH before the hard fork so they can have some free coin after the fork.

I also thought of this during the sudden market increase. But surprisingly, ETH and some other coins have continued to recover even into the current year.

And they said it is a bull-trap. ;D
Yeah, I have read it on many discussion, many people do not believe that the rising is a sign for bullrun. They said it is the same like previous increase in the end of 2018. The rising will be just temporary and end with next decline.   

This is beyond a pump and dump or a bounce. When there is a good development on a coin or an updates, it makes the coin to have more value and which invariable bring about a price increase. This is what every other coin that seem to have some potentials should do.

I think that it is quite possible. Now there is a lot of hype around the Ethereum and people's attention is switching to it, but still the cryptocurrency market now looks more stable and in this case it is just more like a bait.

this is a global market, so it requires many individuals to be able to move prices, unless there are some individuals who have a lot of money and make large purchases, then new prices can move, but the question is who does things like that when the market is falling?

I don't think so, this is a just a bounce, according to me it is a start of market pumping but slowly. I can definitely say that, market will go down also, but not much. It will improve slowly slowly, because they also need buyers which is part of crypto world. My only suggestion is for every investor is that, don't be go greedy, just do everything calmly.

We are still in the bearish market but there are some pumps.
I do not expect further increase during the holidays.
ETH price increase is expected because of the development upgrade on January 16th.

It's the only ethereum and other still follow bitcoin. Block decrease has proven itself to create another jump or bump to the price of altcoin. I guess we will see the block reward for ethereum will get decrease until 0.6 ehereum for each block solved by miners.

I don't understand, in my opinion, currently the crypto market has recovered and has continued to increase in the last 2 weeks, maybe this is a strategy to attract the attention of all investors or actually increase real prices this year.

After market cap drop below $100billion, and now market cap value at $130billions, i think market will start to recover again. Hard to see on short term but i am already plan to hold my coin for long term and i think its makes me more relax.

So we can say that the bears are starting to move even once in a while. Its a good marketing strategy and every angle, you will see that there are someone or something who really manipulates the market. If you are smart enough you can ride this thread and benefit like them. Dont be that someone they manipulate, be the manipulator.

Marketcap will increase if more coins will be created, especially those with huge volume.
Looking at the global marekcap, it signifies that there is a big fall because the all time high was close to $800 billion, so in order to reach that marketcap again, we need another bull run or a steady growth this year, I know it's possible because our market is is so big and anyone can buy and invest on bitcoin.

You know, the market has already a life of its own, so to speak. It seems to move up and down, sometimes following news, sometimes going beyond them. There are times when the news and the overall mood seems all right and then the price suddenly falls down hard. There are times when there seems to be nothing special and then there goes the strong pump. The bounce will continue forever. Just stick to the buy low sell high basic principle and you are good. When it is too cheap, do not just be an onlooker. Buy your own choice of coins and then sell when there's good green.

it happened because market demand often fluctuated, causing the market to rise and fall. last year the situation was very bad, many people lost their assets. this year, hopefully it will rise high and by 2019 Bullrun will occur so that it can replace a bad year and cover lost assets. Bitcoin can also affect the value of Altcoin, so that Bitcoin going up Altcoin will also increase.

Maybe, maybe not. But I think the market will bounce for a little so it could help us to gain some nice profit at the beginning of this year. It shows in many coins in the market, and they are trying to increase the price, especially the cheap coin which can make a nice movement as a start. Perhaps, we will see another surprise this year, and I hope we could make a profit like before. But still careful to choose the cheap coins if you want to buy because not all cheap coin can increase. But if you want to stick with bitcoin, then you have a chance to make a lot of profit from the up and down of the price.

This is the time when the market is accumulating and will be ready for a new bull run in 2019. The price will not be lower because this is the best and strongest support area. It has stood firm since November until now. In 2019 I predict the market will be better with many big events taking place.

Who have some coins in wallets is ready for the next bull run, people who dont have any coins will regret, like they always do. New year is a great time for big things, for sure the biggest thing we are waiting for is lighting network, we can hope that lighting network will be what bitcoin needs now, I read many good stuff about it, will it be what we expect is yet to be seen, but that can take bitcoin to higher levels, some people on twitter talks very positive about it.

yes I see that too. maybe this is indeed to attract buyers to buy. but if the buyer is smart then they will not buy for a loss.
I think for now the thing to do is to hold all the coins we have. and wait until the price soars up again.

I've gained a lot on this bounce, I tried margin trading with big leverage and sometimes I was close to liquidation, but I coped to multiply my portfolio in recent weeks

I think everyone should already understand that no one knows anything and no one can say with confidence. Therefore, believing someone is not worth it. Reading the news is certainly good, but it is better to read about the news of a project than predictions about the cryptocurrency. It remains for us to wait and therefore we wait.

this seems more likely to be a bull run in 2019 because the sign is so clear that the cryptocurrency chart shows price increases and many coins are starting to crawl up, but you must remain vigilant because the cryptocurrency price can fall again if there is bad news due to conditions a market that is very vulnerable to FUD like that.

it will be interesting, there are signs on bull market, specially on ETH, but if you look on BTC - it signs that everyone should be carefull

You mean that the signs of a slight increase in the market in recent days is a fraud, a trap for new, inexperienced people. As far as I can see, this is simply a reduction and an increase in the price of this crypto market, not too strange for us, don't think too much and worry about making money  ;D

History of 2105 year graph, according this market would pump Q3 or Q4 2019. By this market just doesn't show us that isn't bounce or this not a lure.

      You may be right, but no one can predict market volatility in the short term. I think we should not draw conclusions from day to day when we are talking about market fluctuations. Investments in the crypto market are long-term investments, so the short-term fluctuation analysis is insignificant. We have to wait until the crypto market enters the whale market, not the bull. That's why most novice investors are failing, because they are analyzing the market fluctuations at a second and panic.

I think that the rise in the cryptocurrency market has not yet formed a unified front. In the current situation, there are still many investors who are short-selling.

I don't think that bull market has already started to be hones, we are yet to find that bottom and capitulation. There has been some V pattern for the current bottom but I don't think that's the one we are looking for. So yeah, I'd say this is just a small bounce, think we are gonna have to be patient for a little while before start of a accumulation and bull run.

in my opinion, the crypto market is currently recovering to bounce back, but there are some coins that aren't fully stable because there are several other factors that can affect the movement.

No one knows the market behavior but now the market is slowly gaining momentum and many coins start rising with the market. Bitcoin is stable and not getting any gain so all coins are not rising. It is a good bounce and hope that it will continue in future and we will see more gains.

no one can know for sure there will be bullish this year, although there are some altcoins that have experienced a slight increase but on the number 1 coin type (Bitcoin) it has not shown any convincing signs

The same question has raised in my mind so often during the past 2 weeks. I have really thought about it being a bounce as well but the price of some altcoins has risen so nicely and steadily - there have not been sharp ups or too drastic sell-offs.

One could really start to think that we are on the brink of the new bull market.

Hard to say , wether it is a bounce or it's a starting of rise of market.  Hope that it is a rise and bring happiness to all the investors.

Whoever want to buy any coin at the time that the market is going uptrend, it is always good to be carefully and ensure that adequate research has  been done. Sometimes, one might still be able to make profit when the market is growing, but it is also possible to lose. Presently, it is still good to invest, but you must watch out for a green candle to take your profit.

In December, growth was the lure to attract stupid investors. In January, the growth in basic cryptocurrencies will be able to give good money to regular investors.

This can be correction before a huge run. So better be prepeared and have a good exchanges. For example Huobi Russia. They are quite secure so I have a trust to them. Nowodays you have to choose a good one to have your funds save.

It is certainly good that you have earned)
but most people do not know how to trade on the margin exchange, I think you can make good money on the rebound

In the normal course of events in the cryptocurrency market, almost everyone can earn on the difference in price, When there is a complete fluctuation in cryptocurrency prices. But if we take into account the current state of the cryptocurrency market, only professional traders can take advantage of this situation.

I think that's exactly what it is. Bitcoin will rise a little more, and most likely fall again, but this time even lower than it fell a few months ago. The downtrend will continue, I think around 1 year, then we are waiting for a slow and smooth climb to the old peaks.

With prices rising at the beginning of 2019, I think most investors have returned. But as usual it was with price increases, but it didn't last long and the price dropped again. We must trade every day to make a profit. If this is done carefully, I think it will make a profit.

I also think that this is a strategy to attract investors back to the market, especially ethereum, whose prices have risen again after the Hardfork news, continuing to monitor ethereum prices because after hardfork there is a possibility that prices will fall again.

While the price is in flat, there are no sharp fluctuations in the course. It is held, it does not give much growth, perhaps those who manipulate, waiting for some powerful drivers to raise the market

Price bounced high today boys! Short term rally!

maybe we could mentioned it as bull trap.price moved limited on support and resistance.and so by this identify this level we could follow market flow.almost all cryptocoins price rise alot not only ethereum,but eth get lot allocation due the hardfork.

Some are saying the increase in price is dependent on the forthcoming ethereum hard fork. It's probably true but I actually think the market is getting stabilized and hope it continues this way.

You can probably call it that way, but now it's probably not the other way, because now the prices for BTC are starting to fall again. It seems that we are again starting to fall lower than we were previously. Again will be upset

February will be difficult for crypto in my opinion. But it can also be some basis for further capitalization growth if we will stay above 4k

At any point of line graph can be any opinion of why is line graph has this form and any movie can be predicted. Only big data analysis can do prediction work.

This is trying to break the triangle.
If it breaks the triangle we will all turn to green for a long period.
Ethereum hard fork is looking good and in 2 days millions of altcoins sold. These are good signals for me.

i think here is it, i can feel it and more people are got interested about digital or crypto things. and seeing those green lines make my heart calm and motivated for the everyday work.

To grow further we need to gain a foothold above $ 6000 on the cue ball and while it is difficult to say that this is a bullish trend , I think we can reach 5000 and then again go to fall(

The opinion from me is very simple, just need to trust a little and take care of us in the next time, because the price is rising slightly is real and it will increase more strongly, you should not be too patient and turn out to be doubt, think it's good for us, I think   ::)

That's correct no one can say it will gonna pump up maybe it's also a bouncr for sure that pump and go back to dump because everybody can't predict prices on the market for sure.

in any case, all the predictions that sounded Until today have not been implemented. Although this concerns only forecasts with a positive content. We have already seen the negative since the middle of 2018.

I think that the most real forecast is that bitcoin will cost $8000 to the end of the year. There was too much hype in 2017 year about bitcoin.

Well, we are still here and no significant moves has happen yet in the space so let's no one speculate about it yet for we will be very happy when the market fully stabilize then we will able able to make some amazing moves but while we wait for that let's also take this time to HODL our position for the market to gain full potentials.

Nobody is sure right now, because it is too early to predict something. Lets just hope for the best and wait until the market will show us the trend. And now just try to find some funds to buy more altcoins.

I agree with you, many bounces recently have shown the result that even when the price did rise up but not long after that was a huge dumps from the market, so i guess not any bounce will be endure for long time, so taking the chance to sell before the market will be a good move for traders.

Some say that its a bull trap but come to think of it,.we are in cryptoworld where everything is possible and unpredictable. Lets just hope that some good news are around the corner and wait for the market to stabilize. I am expecting some good news regarding btc this year and it might be a go signal for large investors to dive in.

I agree that the market situation is more like a bear trap than the beginning of a new bullrun. Recently, there have been no significant events to bring new investors to the market. Now, in order to attract attention and increase the level of trust in cryptocurrencies, more significant steps are needed, such as regulation at the state level to protect your investments, or the necessary tools that are expected with the launch of the Bakkt platform.

do not get worse, as a trader we must always be optimistic that there will be significant price developments in the market later. most importantly now the market is aiming for an increase, although it is not significant, this is a good start to this year.

Yes, I think this is just a rebound. This may be a rebound caused by the exchange's simultaneous purchases. Did not find other extra funds into the cryptocurrency market, and perhaps the cryptocurrency market will soon collapse again.

Such a sad option, too, can not be ruled out, the cryptocurrency is still vulnerable and prices can easily collapse down, although Ethereum, for example, can show a price increase due to the update even in a bad General situation

maybe this can be said as a game in the Crypto world, price fluctuations are common in the market. the market isn't so strong that we are alert if we want to do something, because you can fall and lose everything. so don't be easily influenced and don't be easily attracted to any seduction, because this might be a trap so you check it first.

I think the growth and decline of the market is normal, because the price of crypto is determined by purchasing power, so I think the investment time is very important and should not be too worried about the market rebound.

It is too early to call this a bounce back. We have seen many instances where BTC prices pumped over 15% and dropped back to over negative 30% in the following 7 days. The way the price of crypto is determined is very weird and if you aren't a careful observer, you will jump in at the wrong time. I wouldn't call this a bounce back.

I don't think so because the characteristics of the crypto market are always changing and increasing and decreasing. It can change transactions and changes as well as positive or negative information from the market. It is not a way to attract investment that can be speculation or organizing speculation and holding large amounts of Bitcoin and make the crypto change strongly.

In a crypto set of such bounces, they are both real and false, after a rebound, even a false one, a growth impulse can begin. The crypto market attracts people with its instability.

Of course, you can try to predict the market, see the number of coins in longs, volumes, figures, and so on, there are a lot of trader tools, but .. I have not seen a single forecast that would match 100% in cryptocurrency ... we cannot know the rebound whether it is, we will know about it only through time .. I generally think that forecasting the market of cryptocurrencies is a thankless task, we can consider several ways of development and try to foresee not to lose our assets ..In general, the cryptocurrency is such an unpredictable little predictable) rebound it or not only time will tell)

I feel that it is not just a bounce start of raising of this market and we will see a good runup in this move this year can give us best returns a lot of new happing are expected in this year and it will make a positive effect in this market.

The market is just getting up after the christmas days, peoples usually get their vacation mode turned off then they just have to go back to work and that's why btc and almost every other altcoin just had bounce.
I don't think that there's a pump coming in the following two weeks, the market still not safe, it's never safe to invest but for long term hodlers i think it's fine to buy from bottom and sell high later.

preparing yourself bitcoin is trying to bounce back to $5,000 this month I think bitcoin will rise that price at the end of January so be prepared and buy more bitcoin and also HODL it. And also the dx exchange has accessible, it will trigger bitcoin price to pump.

If you are a long term holders you will not be afraid investing in any time frame even without the bull trend or there's no updates yet, as you are preparing yourself to a well awaited rise then it will allow you to hold for longer time, supporters loves to buy at the low price and keep the coin inside their wallets and wait till they reached their desire profits, it just a cycle where pumped followed by dumped and vice versa.

Well, after the fall there is always a rebound and do not rejoice before the time , we have not broken the downtrend line on this I am inclined to the fact that we will still look for the bottom!

But should not be too optimistic on the market, as experts or analysts have predicted Bitcoin prices last year. Most of them think Bitcoin will reach the price of $ 30k to $ 200k. But no case happened, this market is constantly changing, it may drop a lot in the last year, but as you say this can be reversed in a short time, be trust  ;D

I think that cryptocurrencies are trying to reach more high prices. But it's too difficult to leave this deep falling so we can see these small grows and fallings. We need to wait next bullrun.

Regardless of what anyone may be saying,  i think the changes occurring as far as the market is concerned is something every average member of the crypto space is seeing and also can interpret rightly. I believe, what we can see now still makes no difference from what we have been seeing in the past few months. Thus, at this point,  we should still continually hold to an unwavering faith and patience as regards market to save us from losing harder in the long run.

These are only pumps but if they are not consistent they will not lead us to bullish market. We are still in bearish market
and cannot confirm the recovery has started yet.

I think this is a bait for those who received good salary bonuses at the end of 2018. This proves once again that the market is being manipulated.

I think big changes in the market should not be expected in the next 8 months, and perhaps a year, rather now it will be possible to observe a correction for a long time.

I don't see any manipulation today,  though some huge investors leaving crypto for now but I believe they will turn back someday.  The fluctuations looks so different but isn't to be consider as a market manipulation. It is all about the buying and selling scheme which could preferably do changes in trend. Whales have it's opportunity to do changes but not in a way of manipulating it.

I plan to continue to stay in the crypto market. I will continue to wait for the situation to improve. It is unlikely that this is some kind of fraud - just price changes under the influence of various factors. I believe that this year there are excellent chances for the appreciation of reliable cryptocurrencies.

Why do you think so, it seems market is getting better and more stronger with many players started to come in this market now as new year has begun , people will have new goals and this means crypto will be one of the options for many. Also with price being so low it is so very lucrative to buy at this levels.

And you did not notice this before, since the summer there were a lot of such traps. And due to this, day trading is popular now, not a holding, only this way you can get a small profit.

I would say this is a good time to recover the losses because many coins in the market start to increase and if we have that coins, we could try to watch closely and who knows, that coins can get the pump in next hours. I think this will continue day by day because, in the last year, the altcoin cannot increase higher because of bitcoin price still on the way to go down. But now, as bitcoin price looks stable, then it's the time for altcoin to try increase.

We've had a few bounces upwards, but they are small relative to the overall trend. The market has been moving downwards for a year now, but it will always be a zigzag rather than a smooth descent.
I would say we'd need around 100% rises on current prices before we could start to consider the end of the bear. Anything less is just a temporary bounce.

No need to stop if you have big faith to the cryptocurrency market. It's an emerging market but if everyone wishes to get out and listens to those negative comments and FUDs that has been shared on mainstream media's, no one stops you. My point is that whether there's a bounce or not, you have to be patient and wait until everything settles appropriately. An empire needs to be built for a long time so it can be established well, not just quickly build as others think.

When the waves are green, everyone thinks that the market has let go and the bulls have started a new activity, but a return to red always stops us from investing and wonders how to proceed.

Seriously, the issue of the market going up and then suddenly crashing hurts alot, but holding value coins like ledu calms the nerves.

I was expecting that it was the start of a bull run but it stop and fall down again. I think it was just a test how strong the supporters to join a rally but it came out short due to some people prefer to sell their coins for a small profits or could be a bull trap from those whales who had known for the manipulation of the market. The bearish had change the mindset of the investors as many investors are not buying crypto even if the price of bitcoin is much cheaper than the usual price. Hoping for a good news that can reverse the situation.   

Don't get easily fooled by the small bounce that is happening in the market. It does not mean that it will continue to grow again. Lets wait for the right time. Maybe this year we can see some changes in the market.

Mostly bitcoin is on downtrending because I draw resistence line based on analysis.
It's difficult to see bitcoin extremly bounce nowadays , all we can do is wait for a momentum that I guess it will happen on this year 2019 !

Often this is exactly what happens. Sometimes the price rises and attracts new investors, sometimes with its rise or fall, the price forces all traders to buy or sell currencies. But all this is just big players thought-out plan. Cause that really only they can affect the price.
Of course, now that trading volumes are very low, it has become much easier to manipulate the price, so be vigilant.

It seems to me that the cryptocurrency market will change in a positive direction only when a sufficiently large amount of investment arrives on the market. but today, however, only minor price fluctuations occur, but the capitalization of the cryptocurrency market wants to remain at its best.

The coins at the top of the market are very good but you should not really trust in most of the other coins out there that only care about getting money from their investors and then to disappear with all that money, it is better to be very careful about in which coins you invest instead of investing in every ico and then realize that each one of the was a scam.

Yes, when you hold you are calm. You do not jump up through the night to check the rates of the cryptocurrencies, and you do not worry so much about the crypto prices. However, we need a real market movement.

True but it is not like you cannot find good coins and invest in them, this is way harder than in the year of 2017 but it is possible you only need to make an effort to find them, if you can do that during the bear market the profits you will get out of the bull market will be incredible since you will be a better trader than the majority of people out there.

Recently, I have already stopped looking at cryptocurrency market indicators so often. Perhaps I have lost hope of seeing price increases in the near future, or I understand that it will take a long time to restore the cryptocurrency market.

My opinion is that in the next two months bitcoin will not show significant growth, there may be slight fluctuations in the range of 3200-4000 dollars, but real growth will come no earlier than autumn, this is my rather pessimistic forecast. But I really look at things. It is better to be a pessimistic realist than an enthusiastic naive romantic.

What do you mean? I am not sure if it is just a bounce. To my mind this is something like a start of a bigger movement! I am totally sure that crypto currency will grow and this growth is like a big wave. Do you remember when Binance closed registration on exchanges simply because there was a big demand of crypto users?

Demand increases based on the situation, but right now, it seems like the demand has decrease due to the bearish price.
It's not attractive to traders and investors seeing this scenario, they prefer to see a more bullish price like way back 2017 as it gives them a better chance to be profitable. Even in my opinion and if I think I'm not good enough, I would do the trade on bullish period.

if at present for example there is a sudden increase in prices that has occurred, it can be said that it is only a reflection, and to make people who do not really understand the price development he wants to buy it immediately, because they expect that the market will move up higher again, but what often happens now, when prices on the market suddenly rise, and not long after prices will come back down, so we must remain cautious in making our investments or trade.

I hope the prices go up again, I want to invest into crypo projects.

Yes it can happen again, a pump is still a pump and we can start a good trend now because of the recent uptrend. Even if its a just a bounce or what as long as we see sign of life it is still good. The demand for cryptocurrency will increase again, and maybe more exchanges will limit new accounts soon.

if you want to invest, I think now you can begin to invest. besides the price is low, now many people want to sell their assets. you can invest now why should you wait for an increase? but indeed investing with the market conditions like this will definitely require great trust, because these bad conditions are very risky for investment.

this is slightly true, just a small percent and everyone thinks its a start of a bullrun but then this is just a trap, a trap to those who will buy a lot of bitcoin or some altcoins and then at the end of it, it will fall again like it was before. Nobody really knows where and when bullrun starts.

No, it has been changed the trend to be bearish, that hurt but I say what happening now, I think it will stay the same until 2020. If you want to invest, just separate your fund  to be 10%, 30%,30, and last 30%, then you can hold it for long term.

This is not a bounce, but I would say that there is upcoming movement. To my mind it should be like something unpredictable and this rebounce will happen within a short period of time in order not to allow other guys to buy crypto!

It is not easy to tell if this is just another bounce or early stages of the next bull run cycle. Either case will be confirmed only in hindsight after some big moves.

before predicting anything or analyzing what is happening in the cryptocurrency market, I try to understand the reasons that served such a sharp and low fall in the cryptocurrency market. In any case, this was not done without manipulation of large whales, but nevertheless, the natural environment of the cryptocurrency market is somehow disturbed.

Don't really see a bounce anywhere. What we have right now is stagnation (or stabilization if you wanna call it that way). Personally, I would see a bounce as a sharper rise in total market cap graph, right now this is this one straight line with more drops than rises.

In recent days there weren't any big bounce in the price of bitcoin. Once it bounced and reached as close to $4100, but in no time the price fell low. Same is with majority of the altcoins, ethereum too grew all of the sudden reaching $150, and fell back stabilizing around $120 for a much longer time period. Further this will surely progress and bounce back reaching the peak.

When looking at price changes, we need always to consider context. For example today as I write this it is green across the board... but look at the charts for the last 12 months, and we can see that even a rise of +50% on current prices would be barely a blip.

Yes, it was just a temporary bounce.
Now I think that ethereum is going to demonstrate another bull run, but true bull run, because at the moment it is no more than an ordinary bounce.

2018 was a year of financial correction after a rapid price increase. In fact, we already noticed a similar situation in 2014. I believe that the year 2019 will demonstrate a certain increase in prices, but it will be moderate - up to about 6 thousand dollars.

While there are no bulls, you should not look at all these corrections, all the more so they are not very significant. These are all either trading bots or small short-term injections of people for day trading.

It is quite natural that after a powerful rise in prices in 2017 and a fall back down in 2018, 2019 may not be similar to these years, the sideways movement should be

That little increase has no significance at all after it goes down. The market seems not ready for any bull run as more people will sell their coins. They just satisfy with their small and quick profits and if those people will still in the market it need us huge adoptions to increase the daily demand which needs enough time.

Small movements that will attract people to ride in only to finds out that it's just a trapped coming from traders who knows how to play well,
we can't see any indications that the bearish movements is already on its way to move out the market and the bull will be awaken and bring
good market movements, we still speculating and hoping that things will be good again.

The way i see the market it is not bouncing or moving fast. It is just a simple reversal correction of the market and it is expected already that we will find another bottom this year. I wonder if there is another bottom next year so what is the price of Bitcoin if the bottom occur? Q2 or Q3 is said to have the biggest movement in the market so let's just wait.

No. It's just a little pump but if you look the market it go down again and still the price have no changes. Hopefully we see a high price this year so we get back what we lose last year until now.

This is very normal because the market is not stable and this makes everyone confused. But I trade every day and can make a little profit. But this is also not easy to do and we must be able to play fast and carefully.

Often we began to observe rebounds, there were already several of them, it’s good that now everything has stabilized a little and there is time to think about attachments and future coins and tokens.

Probably it is, we can never tell.

I really understand that trading Every day can bring much better and more profit than in the long-term storage of my assets. But at the same time, I know I’ll fall asleep that Alaska is increasing several times. Although if you carefully analyze the selected projects, these risks can be minimized.

Becoming a day trader can be a profitable thing to do but it is not something everyone can do, in theory it seems easy you only need to buy low and sell high but the majority of those that have tried to become professional traders have failed and that is because they do not really know anything about the subject when they begin and they realize their mistake too late once they have lost all their money.

This market situation was very difficult the benefit of this unstoppable up and down movements of crypto is gives more profits for those people making day trading by doing hard work with logical strategy and monitoring which coins potentially up during the of dump.

2017 bull run was because many ICO-s made huge profits to investors and people started pouring money in ANY ICO.
Then ICO-s stopped being profitable ... until BitTorrent.
I actually think some of those 2017-ers might be returnign.

The Krypto market is not stable so the price increase is only temporary and after that, the price drops back. I think trading every day will be more profitable because it uses price changes up and down. Indeed this is risky because we have to monitor market prices every day.

Unfortunately, every increase we've seen in the last year is just a bounce. I think we'd need a sustained rise of about 100% from current prices before we could think about the end of the bear market.

I believe an increase will occur. the market does require more time to do that. whatever increase I think this year the market must increase even though it's a small but continuing increase. it will make the market response better.

Let's be real. Without real life applications for cryptocurrencies, the recent ups & downs are just to lure more players to the game and make speculative short-deal profits on them.

There is always pump and dump in the market and the mostly victims of these are the small investors who are still learning how to make profit. There are also sudden increase in the price of bitcoin and some altcoin today and the sudden surge seems developed without a real catalyst, according to the report so expect some price dumps again in the next few days. However, you can still profit from this sudden price increases if you are a daytrader.

at least the increase that occurred today could make the crypto trade increase slightly. we can imagine if a situation like this happens 4-5 times in the future, I'm sure the bull run will really come this year.

Not just 100% rise but more than that. That's the very way to end this bear market but as we see today, it looks that there's something going on that's favorable to everybody. This looks a bounce back or a trap but let's wish that this is a permanent start for the bulls to get in.

Only time will answer the question if this is just a bounce or the next bull cycle starting. For example, Bitcoin broke down from its bottom support zone around $6000 last year and unless it is back above $6000, it can not be called bullish. Similar considerations apply to other top coins and it will all be clear in coming months where market is headed.

I think we will be back at that level again, we stayed longer at $6000 until we got dumped so hard.
Well, it's just a matter of time, what comes down must come up and I believe this year we are going to witness some good uptrend.
BTC will survive even if we got dump many times, hopefully bearish will be over anytime soon.

maybe so. but the current situation is like that. prices sometimes increase and the next day sometimes decreases, and that often happens. but despite the events that happened like that but there are still many people who believe in crypto. because they are all convinced that such events are only temporary.

in fact, with the increase and decrease occurring, it will make us increasingly believe that this market is really alive. and there is a high probability that there will be more growth. this is hope.

yes indeed even though the market conditions are fluctuating, but many believe that the market is alive and will not die, because I think crypto will not die easily. the problem is that the crypto trip is long and long enough. so it's impossible to die instantly.

Dead cat bounce? Maybe. We've seen this pattern before which resulted in a downturn.

I also think that a recovery to that level is inevitable, it may seem hard now that the price of bitcoin is struggling to overcome the 4000 dollars mark but it will eventually do it and once it does it seem to me we are going to see optimism in the market and we could reach 6000 again, however I think we are not going to see that until the second quarter of the year.

over the past six months, $ 4,000 for Bitcoin is already an achievement. In any case, the fact that the cryptocurrency market is gradually recovering, rather than falling below the baseboard, is encouraging.

Let's think bigger, and always set aside those speculative ideas regarding below $4000. We must have high expectations because the law of positivity attracts good vibes, so being optimistic has a good result in the long run compared to closed minded people. Furthermore, that bounce is a sign for all of us not to give up with crypto and after quick spikes there is a greener market; destined to break all barriers that hinders the value of our holdings to increase.

Yes, that is the market to attract investors and buyers. But in the past 2 weeks, I thought this could produce a pretty good profit by trading every day. The market is now red and it's a good time to buy coins. And after this, I think the market will rise again.

If there still was a guy use crypto and that will give a life to the crypto. Those people are keep saying the crypto will die just try to create fear and panic sell to the market. Crypto has a very strong community and that doesn't make sense for that to be happened.

You can still take profits regardless of the market situation. I see some traders are happily taking profits whether we are in the bear and red market last time, if they can, you can do it too. The market rise is imminent and inevitable but we don't know when exactly that time will come for us.
