22billion into the market ... in less than 48hours,  Is this a possible bull run?? or just a cat bounce?? What's your take on this??

Just some news that are creating some bullish uptrends but in my opinion this is not the start of the bull run and a major correction might appear sooner or later. I think until bitcoin halv we ain't gonna see a full bull run, maybe just some pumpish run like this one.

If we see charts most of them are indicating double bottom/ inverted head and shoulders and bullish engulfing so for me there is high chance of trend reversal from here and possibly the start of next big bull run.

Keep the positive things on,its a bull run and just enjoy the market nothing to lose if the prices go back to old price but if increases continually then yes we are going to make another year of 2017.

Bull trap! That's it. This is normal the trading activities this week is good so that many investors around the world are entering their money in the market but it doesn't mean that it will be a bull run. If btc decrease for sure all other tokens will follow. Bull run may happen in just a day we really can't see it coming :)

I guess that we'll know in a week or two.
For now the sentiment is like a deserved growth, but ... it may be extremely misleading.

Afaik the SolidX ETF is scheduled for next week. We may have a pump in expecting the result. If it's accepted - party on - we may have the awaited bull run which may go until the halving and beyond. If not.. we'll have to have more patience.

The market has experienced a very good increase. And I personally welcome this market condition with pleasure. All the Altcoins that I have had also gone up. But we also have to be vigilant because if this is a trap, of course, we must always monitor the market. If the coin decreases, we can sell coins directly.

no one knows 'cause when market show progress it's always turn into bulltrap after weeks and sometimes just day or two. So we can tell more about that unless if the pattern constantly increasing  without fluctuation. . Wherein surely it's a bull not a trap. So as of now let just wait for more results  or keel monitoringthe graph to determine the real direction of the growth rate.  

I think this is a bull run time. A lot of positive news is approaching the world of crypto, especially the Bitcoin ETF. I think investors are starting to believe in the future of crypto.

All that we see in the market seems to be the growth pattern. Long ago the price of bitcoin was stable and for a long and it seems to be more of a staggering to gain resistance. Now the resistance have got broken and now it seems to cross the $4000 at the earliest. From this perspective I feel this to be the bull trend to lead bitcoin to next level of growth that has been predicted to happen long back itself.

It's just another little bump then comes down after few weeks. There's no major announcement happening yet on crypto that will lead to bull run. So relax in it will be fix soon.

Not the little bump too be honest,22 Billion of dollars increased in just two days of time but yes the chances of price drop is there but definitely something is going to happen on the crypto market a crazy bull wakeup or the strong bear will ramp again. :)

It's not a bull run. But it can be a good sign that shows the beginning of uptrend.
Technically if BTC will close current week above 3700 than it can reach 5000 in few month

Every time the price rises someone creates a topic with the question of the beginning of the bull run) I think these people need to calm down.)
To start bull run need to at least overcome the mark of 7000$

i think its not yet bullish, but better to take the opportunity to get some profits, and if its trap then you can buy again

Trap for sure.. Just some positive economics news, and might be approaching of ETH fork.

I guess ETH will bounce back to 130 in a week. And BTC to 3600. Hope I am wrong

Don’t you think 22 billion is abit of exaggeration
There are positve news trends affecting the space and causing an increase in price
You can key into that fact take out your profits

Or you could hodl even further

22 billion USD is not a dead cat bounce this is a major move, though I am expecting one or two correction before the market get more steam to push the price of BTC to $6, I believe we need BTC at above $6k but it will be interesting because this was the barrier for most of the 2018 and breaking it is going to signal a serious bull run

agreeing what you wrote we have to wait one or two weeks to make sure this is not a trap, this growth is worth discussing but still has to be on a positive track this increase will continue to see excellent greening on the market well I think this will be a new trend in early March.

So this is the reason why all coin increase in the market. I dont know about that but keep positif think, we hope bull not a trap. I alse see in advertising in April there will be many blockchain seminars and the price of ticket is more than $100, maybe also this one of the reason why market up tren

Maybe that shows interest coming from more sectors, I also hope that this is the beginning of bull to show up and not another trap that will break investors and traders heart when the dumped start to reverse again the market, still holding some of my assets as I looking forward to gain much
bigger.

i hope your words came true so we can experience another new all time high in the market history but always be careful and don't rush in buying coins and wait for the right time or monitor the changes in a few more days.

If you want to say institutional money then it is so early to mention it. Institutional money will not flow to cryptos until situation about regulation getting clear. Huge rewards are expected but risking some savings is required for getting more profit for average John.

Yes it is pure bull trap = dead cat bounce. I do not see any big news that could cause such hype.
Tone Vays is still bearish, 1k is the target.

It is a quite much for a short time to gaining such marketcap, but it is crypto, everything can be happening due the volatile price.
Whether it is a bull run or bull trap, we still need a time to analyze this rising market occurrence. Im taking it as a start of recovering market.

I believe this is not a trap, and the bull market has begun. I have never seen any strong growth like now since mid-2018. In 2019 we will surely see the market go up many times like the present

I think this can be the new start of bullish movement, we need to break 4000$ at this time. I got some speculation this years maybe we can break at 7000$. Hoping another something good news.

This is a very huge funds and I believe that cryptocurrencies market is here to stay and it means those that are saying bitcoin and cryptocurrencies market is dead I don't think it is truth. We are going to have more good price than were it is today and buying bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies at this current price is the best investment decisions you may make this year 2019. Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market is going to be better than were it is last year.

Another strange thing for me. Why market become positive in one moment, after just one green candle)? IMHO this is a new trap)

That could be a trap but I don't care about that. I only see that now the market is profitable to trade every day. And with the increase in the prices of all these coins, the market will be more beautiful. And there will be many ICOs that I think will succeed.

No one knows when a bull run will happen. I don't think this is a sign of the bull run. I think the only sign of the bull run is when the coins really go up in a long period of time. 22 billion in the market in less than 48 hours is still a possibility though. But everything will be proved if you look at what's going to happen in the market since everything is uncertain.

People are no longer interested in ICOs. ICOs were replaced by STOs that offer more secure investment for investors. But I would rather buy estabilished coins in this market situation.

It's good for the market see those uptrend of most prices which gives us hope that somehow a better market will comes and this will create more hype that will be a start of a bull run but we should not be surprise if this will also dumps in the few days as more people will sell their coins for little profits. Let's just wait and see how the market will moves in few days if this can sustain the uptrend of prices as the market is still unpredictable.

Let’s not celebrate yet as the market moves like this before and yet it drops again. The good thing is that, we are seeing the market pumping which means it will always bounce back aftet a short or big fall. Take profit for now, or wait for the real bull dun, its your choice so think wisely.

Increased volume is a good sign, but this is nowhere near a bull market yet, it still fits into the downwards trend of the last year. We need much bigger increases. Signs are encouraging, but we can't over-react.

According to me this is only a trap, I don't think the market will grow strongly at the moment, we are still in a depressed period. I predict if we want to see the growth cycle of the market we have to wait until 2019. Trading volume at the moment shows that the market has not really entered the new growth cycle

not a bull run neither a trap.

only small increase in market. total marketcap was 120B now it i 132B. only %10 increase. it is not a big thing. ladt year we saw %50 pumps in one day or 3x or 4x from top 50 coins.

it is only a begining.

bull is not yet ready mate.  Probably it will make a short progress only because market still made a fluctuation on this moment. But it's a good news actually because this is a big sign that there's still a potential for recovery despite of this very stagnant circumstance.

still think about it.because until now,market still stable and the price seems strong.but i just a bit confused about ETH,the price incrased about 20% since 17 february. did that because about the next constantinople upgrade ?,well i just try to calm,waiting for a week and see what the next happen.

The market has been in downward for long-term and any little recovery is highly appreciated.  I think now should be the time to appreciate the market as I did not expect this current bullish trend no matter how little it was.

Good question. It's best to wait when prices break $4k, then the next target would be $4.2k. If we get into this situation and there is another break, it could be the beginning of a strong improvement. In fact, next week there will be important things going on, maybe there will be some pronouncement on ETF. I wouldn't be surprised if I suddenly went back to $3.2k and then down to $2.5k. In resume, I think that's difficult to do any analysis in the short term.

Maybe only a trap if i look. Because there are no good news yet and sometime it is hard to make bitcoin price move if people not feel good thing will come with bitcoin. Maybe as traders we must know it and keep aware with it.

it does look like a pump, but we can see that the increase at this time has made the market even more excited. market conditions that were previously in a bad situation, we now get a positive situation. something like this can be maintained when all of us, bitcoin owners, give confidence in bitcoin. indeed, prices can change, but when we support the development of bitcoin, it is very likely that the price of bitcoin can survive on a positive track.

There's a middleground between a bull market and a bull trap. We had a good run, we'll maybe squeeze a bit more of it with the good news surrounding ETH. But eventually there's nothing super substantial that could result in 6k bitcoins, $500 ether or $1000 bitcoin cash.

This is because of the hardfork, its not a trap I think but more on the hype in the market as the ETH development will begin on February 27 if there’s no more delay. Its good that we actually pump after a months of a dump price, let’s wait for some confirmation before making any conclusion.

Although the increase has not been maximal, at least this has a good impact for those who have bought bitcoin a week ago. Now, hundreds of cryptocurrency seems to be trying to move towards better prices, I can only hope that this situation continues until the following weeks,  if it can be like that then we can ensure market conditions will recover soon.

There's reasons for this pump (Constantinople pumped ETH, Coinbase releasing BSV pumped BCH) but we're gonna drop eventually so you can count this as a trap.

That's right this is not a trap but rather the day traders took a quick sell after sort of spikes of price. Just consider it as a good start to pump towards bull run and don't miss the chance of buying the glitches of the dip in the market. At least we're in the process of recover of bitcoin so every trader develop self confidence of waiting until good price has been achieved.

Yes, I expect this market to dump again because this is just a temporary hype and if something bad happen again with the hardfork of ETH people will panic again. I must say taking profit right now is good, and invest again if there's another bottom. Short trading might be risky, but you can earn a lot from this.

I share similar view with you until halving takes effect major bull run won't happen but we will keep seeing some rallies from time to time. Let's fast forward to next year after the halving to see what's in there for us.

I think this i starting of market recovery. And in few coming month we can see good grow. Fidelity going to launch platform for institutional investors in March. Big japanese gian Rakuten going to launch payment app for crypto in march too. With such big news and players market should be growing necessarily

This is the start of the market rise and had it to be trap it would have risen by 1k or so and not just 300$rise . So finally people who had being waiting for some upward movement it has begun and also investors will start making some profits in coming time .

I also think that if the price of altcoins get pumping up and investors or traders supporting it and buying it. For me it's a big trap also to dump immediately.

Clearly it’s a trap mate,looking at the market prices now its another victimizing move from the whales

For those who re enter better get out now even with small profit or else you can lose the capitak again,i hate this people who manipulate’s market but theres nothing i can do but to keep safe for my investments

I don't know exactly whether this is a bull or trap but at least all of my sell orders were fulfilled during the recent pump. I'll wait and see how things turn out before taking the next step.

30billion  now, the volume is growing and so as the price, these two going well together will probably result to a bull run.
This is a bull or a trap, depending on your understanding, either way, one can earn if they will be able to guess the price movement.
It's a battle between the bear and the bull, I'm a bull FYI, so not a trap for me.

As per my predictions its just a trap and we won't see a bull run in near future. We might get to see bitcoin touch up to 4.2k$ by the end of this month but that'd be it. A big bull run can be expected in May 2021, that's when halvening will take place.

You can check the countdown over here : http://www.thehalvening.com/

Moreover, with the rumours about BAKKT Scheme, we might get to see a temporary rise in price but that's just a hypothesis. Well, we all are just hypothesizing things, bitcoin is no so predictable as it seems
 

As far as i know, this numbers belong to BTC and this increase in volume has existed for a few days, so we can see it as upward resistance. I am hopeful this time, because it is clear that this should happen when the pieces are gathered together.

That's right because from yesterday the increase in the market was quite good and this will be a very good market recovery and this is not a trap if I think

I can not say bull run is starting just because the prices of cryptos are increasing, it could be a trap it can go down anytime we should wait for now let see what will happen in the next days.

dont expect too much, but is a good chance to take some profit by short trading, i think is just some pump and will not last long.
maybe this happened like 2 months ago market growing about 10$ billion,but this one is higher, because news about ETF next week they make this trap.
but if this naturally and make the condition like 2017 we should happy.

Possible is a lot in the crypto area, also a bull run, but somehow I don't believe in a new bull run at the moment. I think the market is just recovering a little and not more at the moment. So neither a bull run nor a trap, just a recovery of the market, I guess.  :)

Being careful is good but too negative thinking will also keep away from profits, and I think that will be the beginning of improvement and over time it will keep the crypto market increasing.

This has to be bull and thus we see that now it has risen to 3920$ and might be tomorrow it can cross 4k levels too. This is a good sign that market is steadily moving upwards and will help many people in the process as those who had bought at lower price or holding the coins will make the maximum benefit.

Of course, a few percent of the growth of the cryptocurrency market is already a good indicator, but still bad compared to the beginning of last year. It seems to me that 11,000 for Bitcoin and 850 dollars for ethereal would be a good level for the development of a cryptocurrency market.

I continue to believe that the cryptocurrency market really turned around. It seems to me that this growth will last long enough. I don't think it's a trap.

You right bro, keep waiting until we hit the bottom just make us to late get back into cryptocurrrency. We dont know went the price was really bottom, i think we already hit the lowest target at $3000

Ethererum Constantinople Hard Fork is nearing this is appropriate reason for market pumping otherwise at this moment there are no good news. JP Morgan will be launch own coin he announce it’s another excited news. Coinbase releasing BSV that's why market increasing i don't think have there are any inter-connection with BSV for green market. I think it's temporary pump and after some days again we will see red maket.                  

There’s still possible that this is a trap but we have to be more positive so I guess this is the start of the long term pump. Its good to be back and the market is doing great again, small green candles are being made everyday that can create a huge one in the future, we should still be more patience.

Trap is a strong word, there was tons of positive news recently. Constantinople fork announced - Ether pumped. BSV withdrawals allowed on Coinbase - BCH pumped. Binance showed their DEX - BNB pumped. Litecoin decided to do original development - it pumped even stronger.

a trap or not that is sure to be grateful for the large funds entering the market and bringing the market situation into an uptrend, at least with this situation it can attract other big investors to re-invest in crypto.
That possibility did occur for and entered because the direct market conditions have changed dramatically for the past few days.

There was indeed tons of good news recently which help in driving the price of the market in dump trend but the current market trend is not bullrun or trap but the bearish market is not yet over and once the ETH hard fork took place the market will down trend.

Nobody knows this will be a bull run or a trap, because as we know the world of cryptocurency is difficult to predict, and almost every year the trend is almost always changing, but in my opinion it's still time for a bull market.

I think this price increase is on Bitcoin and all Altcoin is not because there will be Bull. But this price increase, in my opinion, is very reasonable. But we also have to continue to monitor market prices because this is a good opportunity to trade every day. Daily trading I think will be more profitable and this week I can make a profit.

Of course it have but it would be something different from previous bull runs happen. Nothing to think about a trap cause it only a trap for people who didn't have ideas of what they tried to work on, investing with crypto without even have a basic learning's.
Changes will often to happen since we are still depending on the market exchanges, the buy and sell events. So we don't even think that its trend will keep on soaring high without a single declines.  

That's pretty obvious many people engage in crypto never have enough knowledge and makes them feel hard when crisis happen and then keep on moaning for their loss. They usually came when the price at high, as it gives them high percentage of losing since it possible that declines will follow next. May it serves a lesson for us, it is better to start buying crypto when the price at cheap and so make money when it pumps at any moment. Never expect more. 

This is a good question due to the sudden increase in the crypto market cap. From my point of view, i don't think this is a trap but we have gotten to the period where the bull run begins. We have seen a lot of good news in our community that can warrant this growth.

For example, samsung is adding a crypto wallet to their new s10+, this news alone can give a lot of people confidence to come back to the market.

A few days ago I would have thought that this is another trap. But at the moment it seems to me that the cryptocurrency market really began to recover. I am very happy about it.

Still no dump after several days, looks like the market is recovering now. No bull traps any more, at least not a successful one. Perhaps they tried to short the market but failed to execute on time

Prices jumped too little to state that it is a trap or bull run. I think that a big drop in price, even up to $2000, can start from $5k - $6k. So we have to wait until the prices go up a bit more.

I don't think that this is only for large whale traps, but the possibility that large funds entering the market will have a good impact and the bullish trend may have begun even though this upward trend will last long or not we don't know. surely the market situation for a few days is very good and all the coins are experiencing price increases, I can say the beginning of good growth this year and hopefully for the future it will continue to be positive and continue.

I think also in recent days the increase feels slow so it's not too pumped, chances are this is not a trap and pure increase that will continue until the price of the increase is quite high and there is only a correction

Yes, its not a bull trap since we stayed on this level for weeks now. Maybe manipulators saw a higher opportunity if they play a little long, and wait for the market break the resistance before taking profit. Well, this is just me and I believe the bull is yet to come, more dumps are still on the road so keep yourself safe from those dumps.

I will say bull trap, a sudden high transaction volume indicates that the whales try to create a temporary rising and manipulate the price,na good rising is a rising with a reason like more adoption or big investors ready to invest, without a reason the rising will only be temporary

Still not sure if its a trap or the start of the bull run. It's more easy to say that the market starts to become more established after all of those bad days that we went. Short term folks will always take profit and will do a re-buy while HODLers will not be too much affected with this. We are aiming for the best returns that we can take from the market. We all wish that this is a bull run and hopefully that everyone's expectation will meet soon.

This is definitely good news, but it is better not to be happy ahead of time. Now it is necessary to trade with caution, because the price can go down with the same speed.

Market has been acting more and more positive as time goes. However, it does need more rise before the trend will change solidly bullish.

We need more time, after so many mistakes it is better to be safe and make sure that this is not a temporary rebound with the subsequent fall to the original position

Its time for the market to recover and fly upwards so why will the dump come here. I did not understand only what you want, do you want market to keep falling or rising? It is the bull run which will be staring now so if you want to make money buy the coins and hold it.

Lol. It's foolish to think that a certain thing can't happen in crypto. At this point, even if we don't want to, a dump is possible. Or more like a correction. But there's a lot of reason to be positive at this point like as you've said, this trend has been going on for a few days now. Hopefully it could start what we're all waiting for.

Until now the market is greenish so it miht not be a trap,but always remember that crypto investments are risky so don't expect aything for now.

Bitcoin is marching towards $4000 so the next level breakpoint will hit I think.

I believe it will continue to bull run. If it is a trap, the possible scenario would be immediate dump.
But this bull run already last for a week and that is good news. I think if ever there is a possible dump, it is just small.

It iş question of a million dollar. everybody wants to be sure about it before investing again to crypto market. we will wait and see. hope this is not a fake trap again like the previous ones  :D

course this isnt fake . what we see is a real cash poured on cryptos because people already realized that cryptos are really the future of money   .  this includes the huge companies such as samsung  with thier release of their crypto featured phone  .

But if ever the price will dump , we should not be worry because the dump of the price is normal  . people are also waiting for the occurence of pumps and thats the time that they sell which result for the price to dump imediately

Today we hit over that price and we are so happy witnessing it, and until now price is still very bullish.
Small effect on price of our coins but in general there is a big effect, the marketcap in total has increase to $142 billion now and trading volume is back again at over $30 billion, this looks very exciting seriously.

Everyone here is really believing that this is the bull run but sad to say, it's just a bull trap set by some whales to make another rally for sentiment in order to save the market from drowning. You guys shouldn't expect too much from it because this is just a small fraction from the real bull run. As of now we just have to embrace this joyful pump in the market but I'm sure after a few weeks it will going to dump again.

I do not know what is happening on the market today. whether a bull run is happening or maybe just a trap. obviously with a few percent increase I have also benefited from the bullrish market. although only a little.
but my heart favored the bull for the market today. because once again I say, that the supply of bitcoin is almost fulfilled, and this is a sign.

I think it will be a small jump, it's not bull run yet and be patient for that, the market still needs a lot of time for recovery.

like that it's just a fishing rod because I see now all the prices are red and down coin , no one knows when the bull market arrives but now we can only wait

Even though the price has dropped again, I don't think it's a trap, it's just that the market is still too weak to grow steadily, it was only the first attempt in a long time

This is a tremendous assets and I trust that cryptos and its market is setting down deep roots and it implies those that are stating bitcoin and digital forms of money advertise is dead I don't assume it is truth. We will have more great cost than were it is today and purchasing bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies at this present cost is the best speculation choices you may make this year 2019 Q1 success. Bitcoin and the cryptos advertise will be superior to were it is a year ago.

We will see it if it's really a trap, looks like there's a whale that just took profits and everyone has been affected with that big money that flew out from the market. I don't think that the market is still too weak, the market is strong and it has been looking for the very support.

Long and big gains should test and what happened awhile ago has to go through. And this can happen again when bitcoin has made a very fast rise, the true bull run will be found soon.

i think it was neither a bullrun nor a trap, it was just a time when the market has recovered. a new bullrun will come at some point, but we have to wait even longer.

Almost like I predicted.. Believe in about 12 hours will exactly the same like I told before..

This is of course a very good signal. But so far it can hardly be called a bull. Rather, crypto simply reacts to positive news.

I also think that bull run will be commencing but it went being frustrated, since lately price declined very fast from $4k downward to $3.7k. Hopefully there will be some good news coming after that fork of eth, but don't be too excited that we will see bull run very fast, because it takes a lot of time before experiencing faster pumps in the market again.

It's not the price of the whole of crypto has been going back again. some said the fork will happen at the end of this month dude.
Both of these coins can't give a lot of impact to the whole of crypto market and that's not the correct point about the market.

There is a big dump and I guess whales are cashing out, the fork is coming and people have already sold their coins.
Buy the rumor sell the news, they are selling in advance as the fork is confirm to happen soon.
For now I can was it was a trap, but we should still get in and take advantage on the cheap price now.

This is more of a sideways market in the long term. Look how we retraced back down. Zoom out and take a look at the 30m chart time frame. Sidewayz for a while until the whales have enough time to accumulate. We could even go lower again.

2018 is a big bear market. investor confidence has been plunged. i don't think it will end immediately. it may take a half-year transition period. in the second half of this year, we may have a real bull market.

Or it's time to learn how to earn on such traps, initially act as if it's another trap, regardless of whether it is or not, you have to be prepared for all the surprises

Was just curious to watch yesterday's growth trend which was really interesting in the beginning. Everyone was expecting that this would turn into a bull run. But unfortunately, last evening, the sudden fall brought back all the expectations. Bullrun can not be expected now and yes its not predictable. Everyone wishes that crypto market recovers soon.

I guess we have the answer by now. It's a bull trap as the price didn't sustained the $4200 run but instead wend down as low $3700. Anyways, let's stay positive with the let us see if the price could again attempted the $4000-$4200 range.

I don't think we can learn from this traps though, we all wanted a bull run to happen. Maybe the next trap will be $4500 or higher. Everyone is trying to make money so be it. At least we have been presented with a good entry point again.

This seems a correction after some pump. But anyway Im agree with you. This is a manipulation from big whales, which trying dump the price after slighly up.
A lot of positive news coming in next month, so I think we will be growing day by day. And may be till summer we can see a good bullrun. At last past bullrun started in March 2017

Oh because of that last few days ago we see the green market but now the value started to decreasing again. Maybe it is trap only that experienced last few days ago or maybe sign of bull run. We cannot know when is the real started of bull run.

I hope more billions of dollars will added to the market this coming weeks so the value of bitcoin will rise again to see again $4000.

it is a bull. but bull era with traps.

be careful when market increase more than 15%. usually after that, there is a decrease as 10% or more. you must know when enter market or exit for dont lose money.

   Now when it`s over it`s easy to talk about it. Every bull run have some traps, it`s logical. I thought
price will rise a bit more, but it`s not matter for me and people like me, we are long-term holders.
   I`m buying when I can, in 10 years from now it will have little significance did we buy on $3k or $5k.
Price will be so high. Don`t think about bull and bear traps, join us in holding and free your mind.

Yes indeed it is just a small jump of the market, probably this is just because some whales want to play with noobs again. We might see it playing around $3.7k to $3.8k just maintaining the stable price maybe for a week or two. Bull trap is done but maybe it will happen again so, watch out in the market if there is no major news then the market pumps it is probably a new bull trap.

Look at the market now, is it bull run? No, it's not. There will be no bull run very soon. It can be a trap but I will not say like that! We don't know what's going on in the crypto market, after many days BTC price went to 4K plus but it didn't last even 3 days! How can we expect a bull run then? In January, BTC price went to 4200 USD then again 3500! So, we need to be aware of the market trend.

It's a bull trap dude, bull run will come in the future but im expected if that will not come in short term dude.
The bulltrap can be created by the whale easily. We need a lot fo support to create the stable growth and it's not a bull trap like last week's bullish trend.

Seems like the manipulators are playing with us again. Its hard to predict now if we are going to the moon since the last december 2017. Even if it pump a little, it still doesnt go up consecutively and i see its dumping a little again. Some one's waiting us to buy more and i guess its just right. If it is a real thing then we should buy now.

We can not exclude the fact that most of this year will be like this, because the market will not soon be ready for a stable price increase, but even on such waves you can make good money

Most of the bullish signals you see at this time are just traps that are set because there are many people waiting for prices to go a bit higher for them to take their profits. Since this is a good time to buy, I will not be expecting a bull run now but if it comes, it will be welcomed.

Of course, when an upcoming price increase is always welcome. Because it is always considered a good signal for investors and they will not miss it. It will not be a trap if you control your investment and place a stoploss and a sell order. It depends a lot on your assessment and prediction.
In the field of investment always appears risk, you have to learn to accept it, otherwise you will not be rich.

many people think this is a trap because they don't understand how to work from the crypto market. they consider traps to be carried out by people with lots of money. hopefully everyone can learn from this kind of market event, especially for those who are new to crypto.

Just the regular bump and down on the cryptocurrency market because I didn't see much movement on the prices from all time high prices and low prices of this year just thousand dollar swing is not to be considered as a bull run.

There are a plenty of doubts about bull run, as who knows it may be another trap to cheap investors. Many people had got trapped in such situation before and lost everything.

Given that we are in a phase of accumulation, normal in any market, for now a slightly lateralized market is developing, it may be forming a liquidity zone, where they can have a small bull to test how is the offer at more levels high, but obviously, they will want to look for profits.

Clearly I see a bullish trap, because there are still many Bitcoin to accumulate, it is obvious that it is so .. If you look at the volumes of Bitcoin at this time there are almost no sales, only walls of purchase and sales to protect positions.

if indeed to trap I think people who do it definitely need a lot of money to pump for a moment. this is a small increase not a big bull, this is also not a trap but it is indeed how to work from the crypto market. just believe the bull will come if this incident is repeated several times.

Market will have its ups and downs daily but it is hard to read too much from those. Overall market is still not much above the lows so still good time to buy.

Since the price is cheap, it's always good to buy.
We would not see this price anymore if the bull run will come, just currently, there is a run but it was not a bull run, it was a trap and we've all seen that.
However, we should not loss our hope in the market, there still plenty of time, the fundamentals is good so eventually it will effect to the market.

For the past 2 weeks the market is slowly moving upward until its suddenly fall. The reason for this is probably it was not a bullish run in which it might be a whales trap and the second reason is there are reported exchanges that are become victim of hackers in which lot of crypto currencies were stolen that these stolen coins are might be already been sold by now making the price to plunged again.

That was because of a price manipulation, you cannot expect a growth if whales are ready to dump and suddenly change the market.
We will surely see more like that, so prepare yourselves all the time because any time this market could change, whether based on our expectation or not.

That's the risk that we needed to overcome, with those fat big whales our trading expectations should be both between ups and downs, having a good alternatives you can work it out and still gained with situations that keeps on changing in a fast pace market.

Give yourself a good time stamp each time you place any position and not to expect too much while playing with all those sway around.

I don't think this is a bull, but it's like a trap. I personally bought some Ethereum yesterday and hope today will increase. But the price is still red and not like a few days ago. Ethereum can pump suddenly and then daily trading makes a profit.

I understand why this situation is called a trap, but it's not for everyone, for many it's not a trap, but an opportunity to earn.Those who trade in the black remained, those who bought the cryptocurrency at the bottom, too, should be in the black if they recorded a profit

I think it's like a trap and it's true because today commodity prices are declining and there are no pumps. But I think this is very good with sudden price increases. This is a sign that the market will definitely rise again and you have to invest a lot now.

Maybe neither one nor the other, so I think it's good to be ready for months of a side market like 2016.

Bitcoin seems to resist to not fall lower. Its price is very stable. We don't really know in what direction it is going to go.

Just look at today’s growth and go back to last few days growth as well. The current trend seems to be promising a healthy move now a days. This seems to be leading to a great spike if not a healthy spike can be expected with $1000 in the current price.  Other altcoins price have raised as well.

For me, today's market situation is similar to that from around 10 days ago. Then it was also a quick spike price up, and in a moment we returned to the previous level. I think this time it will be the same and tomorrow we will return to the price from yesterday.

A very encouraging growth right? from $126B total cap to $130B within few hours. And this is how the market's volatility works although we're wishing this to continue, we're not so sure about it on how this can stay.
I wouldn't be that optimistic for the moment though I'm long on bitcoin. Expect some swings after this pump.

Everything will be just the same, only us who can't approach to the market in a nice way.  If we truly love crypto,  trusting this one,  we don't need to think of its  negative results.  It could be just a trap to those who never understand  its trend and those who are still in doubts.

market trends / prices do seem to be the same as yesterday and here we might be able to use it to benefit from a price gap but if we doubt it can be possible as you say it will fall into a trap

To be honest... it feels like a trap.

You can see it with certain patterns, useless coins getting pumped, but now in a smarter way.

Not in a wave of a few hours, but over a few days.

And it's not just a few altcoins.

Be motivated, but careful.

Recklessness is for idiots.

You nailed it but this small price increase waves are not fuel for starting the bull trend. ICOs can't collect the money and they postpone their time period with hoping for better market circumstances. Investors don't fall to this trap and mainly they withdrew for staying away till recovery.

ICO is very significant for the development of crypto, but we cannot force people to invest now because the market is not that good.
We've seen how many ICO coins being dump after getting listed, and that makes people wary about their investment, we will wait what will happen to the major coins, as small coins will just follow.

Bull or trap? I hope this time it's already bull.

It was just a bull trap! Ive seen this last year I believe way back in October, see dump happened like in 30mins. It is very hard to believe that bull market will still come specially governments are interfering and trying to get in to cryptoworld but still all of this will change if a lot of people specially wealthy ones will start doing business with crypto.

Bull trap as it may look like but that was last year and we're moving onto the next year and months to come. We can speculate the way we think of the market but it's hard to figure out if this bull trap will be ending soon.

Those wealthy ones you are saying are the institutions..

Now if it's still a bull trap then it will be another disappointment for investors.
So far for the month of march, we have a significant growth and I am expecting this will push through and continue to a high price.
Some are still doubting how capable BTC is but they have no idea how the whales can manipulate the market, if they didn't we could be higher than $10K now.

This is not new to us, everytime there's significant increase people react and hopefully this time we will see some success.

I think any price increase can be said as a bull trap if there is no valid good news, but when 2020 there will be a very long price increase and make the price of all cryptocurrency going up can be a natural thing because there are halving that occur at that year.

I don't think it's a trap because the market is pumping again. You have to be patient and if you invest yesterday and now maybe you can sell coins. We all hope this will be a good start and Bullrun can happen this year.

No one knows if its a trap or a bull  because if the market is on a bull run bitcoin  will go up by 1000$ in just a day while if its a trap the price will go down immediately  after a short pump on the price.

well, when prices are rising, or there is a bull market, I never feel that it is a trap. well, even some people who have placed orders at a certain price have benefited. besides, if it happens to all markets, I think it's far from the word trap. well, take advantage of the current situation.

Some think the increase in the market for a moment it was a trap. But if we can quickly benefit from an increase although only briefly. and I myself believe it is not a trap.

Still trying to cope up and be much stronger than the bear, still not clear if this rise will lead to a bull market since those who bought yesterday can easily sell it right now and pull down the value back, there's no certain point but still in the manner of corrections, the market still trying to stay with its barrier,
we seen between 3.5K to 4k$, traders who knew how to play well are gaining benefits from here.

even though we saw a short bull market still the prices are struggling to sustain so untill the btc prices touch 4500 dollars we cant say bull run may start

Judging the crypto market in the past month as a whole, I don't think these are bullys or traps. The most important thing for me is that investment can increase and sell profit. Because if you follow a market that can go up and down at any time, you have to be ready to execute. The fence doesn't miss a chance.

I think it's just the whale's moves and we still have to fight them. actually, capitalization is not important in the crypto market because whales have the right to manipulate them. The important thing is that you grasp the whale's psychology to know what is a good time to invest.
Please pay attention to the news of the big altcoins, you will be able to profit up to 10% every day if invested in the right time. ;)

Already the answer became obvious to all, it would be too incredible if the first increase in prices-was the arrival of the bull market, we still understand that it needs many times more time

with the current market increase, many speculate that the bull will come soon. but for now, I don't think this is yet. because there is likely to be a reversal trend.

The market is now looking good and green, thinking positively that the market today is not a trap but an increase that is deserved.
We will find a slow but definite and immediate bull coming so this is the beginning of the green market.

We deserved for its pumps and this could be the rewards of our patient. Though we aren't sure that this is the start for bull run but I've never think that is another trap for us created by some whales. I may consider this few pumps as a natural trend for crypto, but of course we need to analyze the market carefully and don't be so confident.

bulls are still sleeping until 2020 (lol), this year is still the same as last year but at least this year it's still better because the bad sentiment on cryptocurrency isn't too much. i think now we can start buy some asset to hold for later.

I agree any price spike can be considered as bull trap but see what happened last 2017 was a gradual change in price but may I know what news will happen in 2020  that made you believe that there would an increase.

We are thinking it's a bull trap because our mind is still bearish.
I believe it's just a matter of mind conditioned and unfortunately we were conditioned by the bear due to this long bear period that we like to break.
So now, we cannot appreciate with full confidence every time there is a big spike of price.

Yes, we still have to learn the market analysis to avoid the trap, but take the opportunity to make a profit.
When this looks good, then the opportunity to throw away coins that might be less feasible to store.

Those rushing investors are the ones that will be very disappointed to know if this is a bull trap. But how to know if this is truly a bull trap? I guess we have been expecting gains quickly, the market starts to show its dominance and recovers day by day. $10,000's still far ahead but I'm sure to it that we will hit it again, when? no can say. It can be after, during or before the 2020 halving but there's too much hope for next year so this year's labeled as accumulation period.

Last year started not so bad, and then the decline in prices only gained momentum, so you can not be completely sure that in the spring the price will be stable and will not fall

It is just a small pump, and probably a rallying made by whales. They usually tend to influence the market by creating some fake orders and when the people started to noticed it everyone will buy and FOMO. Bull run effect happening when the coins are really have huge demand not an auto sell and buy from a bot which own by one person.

I think market is heading to bull. There are some good news incoming. Volumes of all Alt are increasing. Besides ETH fork will happend in March 1 (Approximately) . LTC halving in May. So i think we will see next bull run soon.

We're not sure whether it's bullrun or bulltrap. It is true now that the market crypto is on the rise, but it is also will fall suddenly later. We don't know what will happening next. But I hope that this year will be a better and lucky year than before. I really hoping that bullrun will happened in crypto market soon.
