Looks like it all ended in one trade.

I never believed you nor agreed with you because its too early to speak of RIP to the rise. Hopefully there are better days ahead and we must be positive towards it. Though what we heard recent weeks back was a bull trap and not bull run but the beauty of this is that we are very close to the bull run. LET BE POSITIVE.

An experienced trader in the fluctuating business should know that when market price pushes forward, it can have a break, a pull back before taking another decision which is more like a dive. I think this is normal, like a retracement but I don't know for sure the next direction  ::)

bitcoin continued to decline. the cow won . I lost $ 100 USD  >:( >:(

Lmao. Are you serious buddy? Did you really think that a bull market started just because the entire market rallied in a small way? You have a lot to learn about this volatile market buddy.

No one with a half decent brain is expecting a bull market anytime soon. The only big news that can trigger a massive bull run is something like the halvening in 2020 or ETF approval etc.

Seems the bull market isn't rallying anymore, it has experienced a much bigger drop going down to $3900. A big manipulation by few traders or by a single trader has impacted the ground reality. Once again we need to focus on the next true bull market taking the price forward keeping it above the margin in a stable manner.

Maybe the OP is talking about the bitmex trade. In bitmex, many people were on long positions and this sudden big dump must have liquidated many traders including the OP. There is no second chance in leverage platforms like Bitmex.

Do you mean the little market has ended or will end soon ? I don’t think so because it’s too early to say that even though the rise might not really last but we are still going see some little uptrend movement before we go down. I hope it doesn’t sound to cause anyone to panic but let’s watch and see what happens in some few hours then we can really confirm this. And more so this isn’t a bull rise it’s just some little uptrend rallies. So I advise you are not caught up in the race.

I really think it is a bull trap, many had thought that the market is going to another Bull run then they hit it hard but the price decided to decline, It is yet not time to turn the tables in my opinion and we are nearly not out yet in the midst of a bear market, Maybe OP is trap in the trade that is why he is upset and he actually think that the price will sure make another bull run, But yes the price had increased a lot and in a fast pace movement nobody had predicted that the price will surely crumble back down again.

But surely just stay put and just enjoy the ride because there is still a chance for another bull run but I am not expecting it this year, So all we have to do is increase our investment and I really think bitcoin is good for long term investments.

Haha man just because we saw a very quick fall, you are telling that?

But when we see the market starts to rise quickly without any interruption, we haven't seen posts like this? And besides, we can't say that we literally went out of the bear market.

The idea that the rise the past week was the start of the bull market is absurd. I was happy to see the $400 drop a couple hours ago, should get this absurd notion out of people's heads. Nobody should be expecting the bull market to start for months to come - it'll probably start during the second half of this year. We should all fully expect 3000s prices to last for at least several months to come, I'd guess around a half year more of $3000s.

Ending, I don't think it will be that fast, isn't the crypto market really turbulent, making prices unstable. There's still tomorrow or so on, and I think there will be a change.

I don't think that's how a supposed bull run will come to an end, If it has begun at all.
The sudden decline from the $4,200 zone to $3,800 doesn't connote the end of bull run just the same way the sudden increase we recorded within a few days wasn't a guarantee of the bull market taking over. I think every move upward or downward are still too quick to use as an indication of the market state.

Please do not underestimate the worth of the crypto market. May be today we may found the dump surely in couple of days I expect that bitcoin and all the other cryptocurrencies will be bumped again in the marketplace.
There and here need a hope and perfect investments over the cryptocurrency nothing else.

Tomorrow is banking day. And tomorrow Nasdaq should start listing Bitcoin prices too.
Maybe tomorrow we'll see investors coming in, maybe balancing the speculators we now have too many.

its to early to say rip to bull market..for me it is the beginning just relax dont buy if you think its a bull just observed so that you can avoid to be trap...

It was hardly bullish to begin with. It was more a slow climb and then a quick fall from the top. Well there's still a chance for it to hike still. I think the price to beat would be Feb last year. I understand some people have lost money though for setting their trades expecting a bull run.


Now that's unfortunate. It comes with the territory though.

Probably OP is referring to last 4 days pump when the market was greenish. He believes that the market was ready for the bull run and ended with a huge sellout.

Listen in the world of trading or investment there is always something called up or down. so sometimes the price will go up then a few moments will definitely go down. so just wait for bitcoin to rise up again.

This is insane, you are saying the bull run won't come because of a small dip?  No investment just goes straight up with no pullbacks, this is normal market behavior.  Strong hands are accumulating more while the newbies are panic selling.

Nothing ended mate. There was no bullish run in the first place the market was just recovering.
But that seems to have slower down and dropped

First, many said that this is not a bull run so I don't know how you come up to the conclusion that it just ended. Many are still very cautious after the recent spike and now it just proves that indeed another bull trap has been setup but I'm glad that the market is still hanging on to $38++ and the price went down just -7%, if I'm not mistaken.

True, maybe the OP believes that the recent run from $4200 is a bull run already that's why when the price goes down today, he ended up bitching around saying it's gone. Lol, the market is still very much volatile, who know maybe tomorrow we can recover again and pushes to the $4K levels again.

Lol this is just squak. The market is more so long term sideways right now.

The thing about the bull market your talking about is not yet started  ;D.. it does many times when bitcoin is uptrend for how many days then there is a time to go down trend as well

We are in a phase, where the best thing now is to hope that it can happen.

The good trader know at what time should not operate, I think this is a time where you should not operate.
There may be many theories of people who say that the market will go up, that this is only a correction, others that it will be a clear lateralization.

There was really no bull run for a start. But situations like these actually spokes newbies. The market movements are difficult and sometimes impossible to track and monitor.
And if a pump can not be explained, it is assumed to be a bull run and a dump is a bearish trend.
Do not get too excited anytime the market moves upwards. Or discouraged once it drops.

The Bull Market simply lost its zeal to run and decided to go back to snoring/sleeping. Don't declare obituary for the market yet. We have been in this situation for a while now. I wasn't surprised. The slight pump and dump is just a sign that the market is still alive and surely there is hope for possible bullrun soon.

Yeah I agree with this one and seems that what happens in market lately is just a sign that token holders should look-out on what coming soon though we don't know when it will happen but this slight bull will might change the holders mind to stay and keep believing on cryptocurrency.

i think its too early to conclude on a bull run, so posts of such magnitude is meant to cause panic and thats what we dont need now at this stage, so lets stay positive, lets be positive and patiently wait for the bull run.

It's funny how threads titles change from day to day, yesterday people were super excited, and now they're holding a wake.

Maybe treat it as entertainment? If someone will really give his reactions day by day, it would be a mess and chaotic. One bad movement in the market, and someone loses his hope. We are not yet at the end of the road. I would say, this is pretty exciting journey for bitcoin and other currencies.

Must say it was awfully nice while it lasted.  Really enjoyed seeing my account have a bunch more MONEY then usual.
Only to wake up and see I now have much less then before.

There is no bull market. You could say about bull market in this way when price would spike up for 5 seconds. This price increase is this 5 seconds but 5 minutes ;). Bull market is long same trend.
We don't have same trend for longer time. It was minor fluctuation in small period of time.

The bull market is coming, it is just a little late to the party. ( i think several months late lol)
Enjoy this period of cheap prices and accumulate as much as possible so you won't be sorry later on. Of course that if you don't believe in the future of bitcoin and crypto overall you should stay away and find something more suitable for you like.. stocks, real estate, maybe gold? who knows

I agree 100%. There will be people who can't control their emotion and for that exact same reason can't really control their decisions but we need to ask ourselves, do we want to be like that? - I believe in that question is where all the truth is.

We still don't know if it will go down again or continue rising. We will see.

Yes i agree on that people who are new in crypto can't control thier emotion specially when it is all about th market. Market is really unstable and I believe that no one wanted to loss a big amount, we are all here to earn not to loss. I think the market is now rapidly dropping from the rapid pricing of the price. And I think that was still a normal thing specially in crypto everything is really unstable and may change in one night.

as i have been saying in the past week, there is not yet any bull market. what we have is the market trend between the bull and the bear markets! and as long as this transitioning phase is going on, you should expect this type of ups and downs where price plays jump rope with a level like this. just try to not get caught with your pants down thinking it is bull or thinking it is over they are both equally wrong.

also don't forget that there are currently thousands of altcoin bag holders who are dumping their bags as the altcoin market recovers a tiny bit thanks to bitcoin rise. the sheer amount of money that exits that way always puts extra pressure on bitcoin.

Hey that’s a logical statement and only people who have been involved in bitcoins for a while now would have understood it, others will yet consider it a bull rally. I’m not surprised by the fall in prices, had expected people would sell and prices would tank due to the pressure. Altcoin investors are always looking for a quick cash and, the first chance they get it they exit causing additional pressure on the prices.

lol entertainment ? maybe only for you because you already cash out your money at the peak price but for the rest of us  no we didnt find this entertaining because the ups and downs  of the price causes people to be confuse and loose thier patience  .


you only enjoyed seeing it ? but you did not convert it to fiat ?  thats not nice at all  .


r.i.p bull you will be missed  . it takes forever to climb on top but it only takes one trade to go down . ;(

That was no Bull run, it was more like a Bull trap for some. You get all hyped up about the probability that it is the start of the next Bull run and then "Wham", you get kicked on the ass.  ::)  Just look at my post history for the last couple of weeks and you will notice that I never thought that this small spike in the price was the next Bull run.

Some cock teaser Whale are messing with us and making a ton of money at the same time.  >:(   In future, just ignore the small spikes in the price.  ::)

I also didn't expect bull run happen because I didn't hear any good news related Bitcoin that might cause a bull run. Then the things that come up my mind have just happened now. See? it was a bull trap with a small spike in the market but they can't earn if we are strong enough of holding our purchased coins in our wallet.

Patiently wait again when bullish trend come.

that's why building up all these bullish dreams on the back of a few days' price rise is foolish. this isn't a bull market at all! we've been in a bear market for over a year now---nothing but lower highs and lower lows. nobody should be surprised when a bull trap comes crashing back down.

in the short term, we can still recover from this and push higher into the $4000s. but even if we do, people should really keep their bullish expectations in check. this ain't 2017 anymore. we're at least a year or two away from anything like that.

What just happened is a big lesson to all of us...this market is quite treacherous and any good gains can easily be wiped out because there will be people who will of course take advantage of the situation to make some profits and this is quite normal in a free market...there is nothing we can do about it. What is certain is the dreamed bull run may not be happening that easily and that it can't be happening soon. People who are experts and professionals on trading are not alarmed about this and can even be making good money out of this...unfortunately am not an expert so am not making money on this recent "big" movement.

1 trade, are you kidding me? do you think market is tiny with only a one $1 buy order keeping the price there?

the drop took more than a year to get to the current price and in the past month it has take millions of dollars to keep it in $3k range and now it is breaking out. it won't feel like it now but you will see it soon.

It was not a bull market and I couldn't care less about it.
Probably some whale sold everything he had,just to frustrate all the noobs expecting another ATH after one week. ;D
Bitcoin is still alive and kickin'.That's the only thing we should care about.

in this case I would say there aren't any whales manipulating or anything since it looks pretty natural to me. you just have to stop seeing it as a bull run and start seeing it as a "transition". in a market you can't expect a U turn like with a car! it takes time to reverse a certain trend just like price didn't fall from $20k to $3k in one day, the rise back up from $3k to $100k is not going to occur in 1 day either. we first see small rises like this which will be suppressed as people panic sell (not whales) thinking it is bull trap and then after a couple of these we see more rises which slowly grow in size and set a new high each time.

Losing 15 billion with a few minutes is not natural at all, it looks like a coordinated dump by a group of market manipulators. This reduces confidence in the markets

well when you look at fake numbers, obviously your conclusion is also fake (or false). it is like checking the temperature with a broken thermometer and say you have a fever of 1000 degrees because the thermometer said so regardless of it being broken.
in this case "15 billion" is the number that went out of total market cap and it is fake because a very high percentage (like 80%) of the total supply that is fake since you can easily create billions of tokens out of thin air and that creates market cap easily and when that shitcoin gets dumped from $2 to $1 the total market cap loses billions because of that coin alone. now imagine you have 2300-2500 of these shitcoins....

If you think that market will always go up and never come down then i think you dont know much about market movement, It was expected as shortterm traders took profit so it went down but still you can see it is only half down and market is taking support near $3700 level, if it is not broken then we can see market moving up till $4500+. Even before last bull movement the market was moving up and down same way and then it took a sharp up movement. So it is very common.

Excuse me please ,it was never a bullrun in the first place ,that is just a pump and yes its so normal to drop back and if you think bullrun is gone for good then you know nothing about cryptocurrency ,the trends of incoming bullrun is always different and believe me I've witnessed it in the past

Well that's what happens when you treat every sizable price increase as a bull run lol.


I assume you're talking about market cap. It's just another day in the office for Bitcoin -- it has happened before and it will happen again. There always seem to be some people who blame it on market manipulation too lol.

I think the price rally that happened a few weeks ago is because of the NASDAQ news about listing Bitcoin and people are hyping about that news to make the price pumping and create a FOMO(Fear of missing out) effect to some people, then BOOM! when they get the price that they wanted they dumped all in a sudden and these kinds of scenario is normal to the crypto industry because this is a very volatile industry and the risk is extremely high. 8)

very true but it also shows how there is still a lot of people that are uncertain about bitcoin and that on its own proves why the price didn't continue to rise and instead reversed and stayed the same level near $4k instead of above it.

It only stops and will continue in somedays. Due high demand on the markwt maybe it's the reason why bearish enters quickly. You feels like new here even your on a high rank with only posting one line post. Price is unstable so better to wait again when bullish comebacks.

In a few days before, the topic here in the forum says that the bullrun of the Bitcoin is starting, but now, we can see how it easily swipe away. But I do hope that the Bitcoin will come to its bullrun again.

It was just a taste of it. It somehow brought some excitement and hope to some hodlers but sad to say it has gone down again. Maybe this year 2019 will not end until the real bull runs again just like in 2017, hopefully.

Who say's that last week performance is a bull run? Only weak hands believes that it was a bull run and they easily to fall from it and celebrated. Now they will learned again that market is really difficult to predict that we don't know if it was just a big whales trap so next time better not to conclude too early everytime the market turns green.

The market as at yesterday went down after hitting above $4K. I was hoping the bulls are already here to stay but were wrong as the market just lost over $300 within a few hours. What is actually happening? When will the market finally trend?

Bull market is born on pessimism, grown on skepticism, mature on optimism, die on euphoria. The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell. John Templeton, couldn't add a word here.

It is very fast that the bull run of crypto market easily fade away. Maybe just a day ago, it is going well and smooth running good like its little by little recovering. But now, it went down again. Despite the situation happens like this, I still have hopes that it will bull run soon.

I understand perfectly the picture you are trying to paint here, nevertheless, the bull run we witnessed was short-lived but that doesn't mean in any way that there won't be bull run ever again.
With positivity on our sides, I believe another bull run will happen soon.

That's the true first time it happens that it makes a big dip after almost a week of the bull run, I don't think this could happen again and it will become the new market trend, people should now be very careful some manipulation is happening.

The recent bull run we saw wasn't the expected one but we saw a bull-trap. Bitcoin rise during these days of the week are evidence that we are very close to the expected bull run. It will surely come to that point we will see another bull market.

Yes, the market took a nosedive all of a sudden, but that should not be a surprise given how long this bear market has persisted. In my view investors need a very long-term horizon and to expect that this bear market may last another 12 to 24 months possibly. The fundamentals get stronger each month, and they are what ultimately matter.

bye bull market welcome what market?

Everyone even thought a bull run would occur, but the fact was that the increase only happened for a moment. Market is very difficult to predict, therefore we will have difficulty in making speculations. give confidence to the digital currency and then we will get a chance for a bull run in the future.

This a speculative statement because if you mean the recent rise in the price then that is not bull run and to me it was all aimed at trapping investors by the big players and dumping follows again, in the nearest future we will see more of that the price will rise even close to $5k but that does not mean the bull run is here and it very hard to say when exactly the bull run will returned again due to how volatile the market can be.

l
You are just over reacting because the market pumped a little last couple days ago

This wasn’t a bullrun and and people like you whos so thirsty of gaining big in just a short time,so now that you fails blaming the market as It dies?

Certainly right mate,this is a bulltrap and many are become victim again,i really hate to admit but this is a trap from the manipulators

That’s not true because this is just a short correction. There is no bull market at all so nothing to worry about, if you think bull is not coming then its your choice. I still believe for a great price this year no matter what happe in short term trading

Bull run will not happen in just a day or just a week. It could happen in months or either year, in that small spike of bitcoin price we expectedly that it will down again. But I admit my self and hoping it continued but as I expected it massively drops again last night dragging too fast like what happens on a spike. Well, let's just wait maybe next month it will pump up after ethereum fork.

I do as well, if tracing the value from 2018 this small rise is simply a little corrections, it gives hope to those people who already losing
patience to consider that market can reverse, bull will come we never knew when but it will as there's progress and news that will affect
the movement, don't conclude yet and wait for the time when  it will show up completely.

 seriously?  Actually i don't believe on your statement bro because as the matter of fact that's how the market plays nowadays . I thought you guys already knows about that since there's more factors always exist on this kind of market. (.Wherein it will always make a correction everytime after making a small pump and  especially when it trying to exceed more). Sad to say say bro but it seems like you're trying to make another trouble for bitcoin instead waiting for more results.

although at the moment it looks like a short correction but it can make many traders panic and make many people frightened because the price movement no one can find out will move up to what price.

No one here thinks so on the grounds that it's too soon to state that despite the fact that the ascent may not by any stretch of the imagination last however we are as yet going see some little uptrend development before we go down. I trust it doesn't sound to make anybody alarm however how about we watch and see what occurs in somewhere in the range of couple of hours then we can truly affirm this. What's more, more so this isn't a bull rise it's simply some little uptrend revitalizes. So I exhort you are not made up for lost time in the race.

How are you sure that it was a bull run ? A bull run always makes gains in long term and this increase in price can never be termed as a bull run unless the price keeps rising for the next few months.
Secondly, a price of a coin cannot always go in the same direction. It has to make a wave like pattern in order to keep moving. This means that the price can either go up or down.
Bitcoin is doing the same thing now. Once the price went up it has taken a break now and will rise further if it has to in some days. Nothing has ended yet.

Well it is slow but I am happy that it is moving steady because drop and drop combines to make river, so have patience and better if you wait, slow recovery is only because last year price has been falling too much because of panic selling so it will take little time to recover but it will surely bull run very soon, so wait and hope for the best, bearish is almost end in 2019.

I do not see any end to bearish market. You can see that bitcoin tried to cross 4200$ but then again dumped to 3700$ yesterday. It take a few days for bitcoin to pump up 200 to 300$, but when it comes to dump, it just takes 15 mins to dump 300$. This is the sign that we are in bearish market and no one knows when this trend will end.

We were in a bull market?! You could have fooled me. :P

The bid side is really thin so it can't absorb large market sells. That + no instant recovery from selloff attempts = pretty strong confirmation we aren't in a bull market.

Patience. By this time next year, we might be in a bull market again.

You don't just completely rule out the bullish runs and condemned it, its very obvious that there is a retracement in the price of bitcoin whose effect might likely break the strong resistance at $4K.
The price cannot continually be walloping in bear runs for so long without any bullish runs, perhaps the much expected bullish runs will be triggered in due course as result of upcoming positive fundamental news.

There in no sense in traditional analysis. Anything is possible.

Don't lose hope bro, even you lost $100 of your capital you can still have more opportunitt today because not only bad news cames but still have good news which is the value is good to buy because it is lpwer compared to the price last few days ago. So if you buy today and once they turn back to $4100 you get some profit and your $100 will be back.

The drop may have been sharp, but everything is within the parameters still of it signalling further upwards growth at the time being.

first of all $200-$300 in bitcoin is about 5% and it is not called "pump and dump"! pump and dump is what happens to altcoins when they artificially go up 100%-1000% and then get dumped back down the same amount and die.

secondly that is how "the end of bear market" looks like. you shouldn't expect to wake up one day and see price has done a sharp reverse and is shooting up!!! that is not going to happen ever not just in bitcoin but in any other market. the "end" is always a slow change when price has some small rises and many drops before it breaks out and starts the rallies.

I'm still bullish even after the dump. I still believe we are at the point of trend reversal (although the exact point can only be determined in hindsight). The little mini-rally last week was very different from anything we have seen in months. It shows that there are enough people are ready to jump back in.

It did that because we are hungry for a long time so investors decided to take the little profits they have made to start the whole cycle back again. Bull run will surely come and it will be like a thief, the time no one expects it to come.

isn't over it needs to be a little correction and the market is still not ready for the bull you or all want, even though its still running and we should not be reckless in making a statement even if we assume the bull market is rip or spread fud and IMO it is still at the stage of a swing

It was a pump.

Pumps are not bull markets. A bull market is an extended expression of sentiment, not a quick squirt of excitement. We're definitely nowhere near a bull market. We may be out of a bear market. If that is the case it sits around and doesn't do very much for a long time.

Technical analysis have a role in play and also fundamental too . But yes at times when the whales come in market can either rise or fall sharply as they buy the huge quantity so market react accordingly .

The earlier pump bitcoin and cryptocurrencies market witnessed in about 5 days ago has really come to and end and that do not mean we are not going to have another bullish trend again.  What is happening to bitcoin now and other cryptocurrencies has happened before and the overall general being of the market turned positive and bullish again and that is what I am seriously expecting to happen.  The market is going to recover and before end of this year or by next year we are going to see another bull run again.

Agreed, it's been interpreted that pumps as bull market. A strong bull market extends long, midst of the bull run it will also experience minor fluctuations. These fluctuations ignite the market and make more people to invest. These little investments from large number of users helps keep the market continue the bull trend for a longer time period.

Maybe we need to wait more years until we see another bull run just like what happen in 2017. Few days ago some people already predicted that there will be bull run because of pumping price of many cryptocurrencies. But, some people says that it is just a normal pump and I think it is true.

the early goings of bull markets are defined by disbelief and skepticism about rising prices.

in contrast, right now it seems like people are expecting too much too soon, getting excited over any little pump. there's still a lot of hope and optimism in the market.

unfortunately, that lends some credence to my worries that this little rally over the past couple months was just a bull trap like the one in october 2014. (which would mean the final capitulation hasn't happened yet)

The bull market was not even close to starting, many people were very excited to see the growth on bitcoin and they believed this was finally the bull market they have been waiting for a year, but the bear market we are facing is the longest and most difficult in the short history of bitcoin and I do not see it ending any time soon, in fact it is possible the bear market will be still with us until the next year.

There are more bull markets to come in the following days, weeks, months and years. It is our need to find what is in need and should act accordingly. Now it's too early to provide it with RIP. Then onwards which will take care of the bull markets further.

There are currently around 32 million bitcoin wallets. The last thing we should be worried about is the amount of people in the space right now. Specially considering a lot of those wallets are the second or third of a singular person. If crypto is to be as big as most of us see it there are at least a billion more users yet to come. And even if that number ends up at a hundred million that would cause a bull market that would eclipse 2017 December into oblivion.

I assume atleast you made profit on that single trade right?because if not then maybe you have the rights to say this 😂

But atleast you know that every price growth the fall will follow right?specially these days when the market seems to he in downtrend for more than a year,we must be thankful for this small pump to atleast see the market greening again for couple of days

RIP bull market, just like we said RIP BTC in the past but BTC come alive and break the wall.
We don't have to be dramatic, just play it the right way, look at the development and forget about the price, we have profitable the last bull run and this time is for us to be more patient, the right time will come, eventually bull run will surprise us.

We have not yet experienced a bull run for this year and those little increased we have was a test how strong the market we have. We should not rely on a bull run as we need a mass adoption to sustain the market and rise the price once we can increase the daily demand. We don't need to hurry for a bull run as this will only end a bull trap if the community will not ride with the trend. Only time can tell the future of this technology as many people has lose the interest due to market manipulation.

Bull market is not done yeat. It is only increasing and the real bull run and it will happen high percent in the month of March which is really increase the value again the bitcoin. I think better to chang the title to rip bear market and I hope that really happen.
Bull market are only less feel and I think we are in the 75 percent when the bull run really happen only little push.

Just recently there is a series of higher lows which is fairly bullish action, not a massive rise but so long as the trend continues it is actually gaining and accumulating in value with lots of noise in between

https://i.imgur.com/XFnoA1C.png

So mid December, early Feb low and recently that sell was a decent series.   It can break of course but its worth mentioning its a regular trend of higher low prices

It looks like second half of 2015, or even first half of 2016.

If we compare the two cycles, we see the price had risen from around $1200 in 2013 to a near 20k top in 2017. This is like 20x more.

If the same pattern is to repeat itself, we would see something between 300 and 400k as a ATH at the end of 2021, but to arrive at that price, the rise needs to be faster than in the previous cycle. This would prompt a earlier reversal, as compared to 2015, because we still need to recover the 8-12k range, before going to a bull market.

We still need confirmation of the pattern, though. Maybe in two weeks we will see more clearly where it is leading.

Such optimism but sadly i will tell you the truth, there is no bull run this year. All you have been seeing is just a part of the manipulation show of some whales to pull out the newbies and yet they did bite the trap, a bullish trap. If there is no major news that would expect to spike high the price of Bitcoin then that is possibly a bull trap and we should be aware of that because it will drop so soon.

I'm signing up for the 300k per BTC 8)

We have not experienced any signs of bull run so far, as far I concern is the market atleast need to be in a descent price. yes we are still in a bearish market and most probably there is no possibilities of a bull run so soon. Yes there are chances to happen by the end of the year.

So if that trend follows again we might face more price fell in the coming days right.

People need to stop speculating about the bull market right now which makes the some investors to dump their coins when they see considerable price increase which cause all the recovery process come to an end in few minutes.

It is highly disingenuous to think bitcoin either had a bull run and it is now gone because of one trade. I am sorry but we didn't had a "bull" run, it was just a short spike that we always have and nothing surprising, even during the 2018 year bear run you can see multiple times price moving in between 6.5 thousand dollars and 7.2 thousand dollars even as far as reaching 8 thousand dollars at one time, that is double what it is today, did it went any higher? no, it stayed and dropped again and again.

It means just because we have little spikes that go up doesn't mean it is a bull run at all. Price can always go higher and lower, there is absolutely nothing that stops it from doing that and people who are discouraged from just couple of moves in bitcoin price should be in such a volatile market.

Well the point would be what is the major and what is the minor trend occurring here.   I was really saying each low has been higher so yea, nothing too bullish but its not as big a risk to just observe if it holds that low as a minimum for now.    I dont know it'll do that but it could


Well that'd be jumping the gun tbh.   We have some bullish action and its just days, you want to launch a rocket you got to build the framework first to fire it stably.    I really dont expect a repeat of the past to occur in future, I dont see markets run that simply.

Lots of twists and turns in the road ahead

I'm signing up too for 740k usd.  :D

probably it's not yet ready to surge more reason why it ended immediatly. But in my view on this up coming march there will be another bump of price again .because for sure btc now is gaining strength for a new jump ( like what always happen even before after the fluctuation which is there's always a new stage. )  But i hope it didn't end again in one trade if that time happened.

We're still at less than $4000 but the chance to break $4000 again wide open as I see at the chart, the trend trying to moves higher. I hope that in the next week, we can get a new stage which means we can increase to $4000.

If:

Really happen in 2021, then we still need to wait 2 years more before we can see it is increasing in that number. We need to prepare by buying as much bitcoin we can to sell at that price.

I am sure many of us want to wait for 2 years again because they can make a lot of money at that time (if this will happen). Let see what will happen in 2 years later.

It did, another pump and dump episode,manipulation by the rich few.I  see a situation where we will have another major deep by the wall street guys that will caise many to give up hope on crypto,that will be the time for them to accumulate as much bitcoins as they can,and when they do,they will pressure the government for some legislation approval and then we will eventually have the bull run.No doubt big institutions have interest in cryptos and they will use it for their own interest.Good thing is we still have a relatively good trade volume

sign me up as well :)

Well, for reference, the price reached one dollar in 2011, and $1200 in 2013. Thats a 1200x increase, in a frame of two years.

Bull Market hasn't started yet. There is no point in saying that it has ended already.
We need to be patient and wait for the upward trend to come. When you see a green market for a day this doesn't seem that we have entered a bull market. I really cannot understand this obsession.

As with the end of all previous bear markets we will go sideways for a long time.
Sideways will creep up to a mild climb. The mild climb will continue towards the $20k because a lot of burned people want out.

Don't expect it going vertical or it being a bull-run anytime soon...

I do see a possibility for this bull trap to not be over yet and higher prices are still possible.
If we have seen the bottom, we will surely be testing it again later on.

To many bull trap occuring these days and yet good earning opportunity if we look at it and do a quick earnings with the situation. But I can still say that we can possibly still hold our coins since maybe on next following years the bull run will came.

Well, there was no bull market really, more of a  bull trap, hopefully it will start by the end of this year even though that is highly unlikely looking at the current state.

Not even a bull trap except to those people screaming bull run after only a few hundred dollars up. We may very well hit 4k again in a few days and same thing may happen. Nothing's special with this movement guys.

I agree, it is going sideways, there is always movement, but its not a sing of something big coming up.

After a big dump, bitcoin usually goes on another sideways so I'm assuming that we're going to see the same pattern after for the coming weeks. Oh well, when we're about to go to $5k something came up. Anyways, March is coming so let's just be optimistic that we might see another run and this time, it will be really the bull run that we all have been waiting for.

It won't. You don't need to hope for it as it wont happen in March, April or May lol.

Well I didn’t made even single trading lol,what i did is see how the people react on that fake bullrun

And sadly lots are become another victim of this whales manipulating the market by small pumping.people still don’t learn  their mistakes in past when this kind of movement happens over and over in 2018

Thats why i know this will happen again,and we cannot do anything to stop this from happening 

Market will rise considering the last rise which happen gave the hope to people that market is not dead and the rise will happen and continue to happen in coming time as well. Before this people were telling it will not rise, it will be dead etc and still market rose to 4200$ which breaks all the myths as well.

You can be preparing a bull, after a price fall without much volume, many have realized that there are no operators who want to sell, what is left is to try new ranges, I think 4k or 5k, should try the offer for this zone .

It will, but not this year! People are mostly idiots, expecting a bull run like it happened in the end of 2017. without taking into account the time it took to get to that bull run. It won't happen again so fast.

nobody should have thought that was a bull market. just normal bottom volatility. Sometimes there is a pump. Sometimes there is a dump. There is no RIP bull market just because a pump came and went. The bull market could be half year away from getting started for all we know. When bitcoin passes $6k again then we'll know we are probably back in a bull market, and thats probably a bunch of months away.

I'm not expecting that the same bull run would occur for this year same as 2017. Not so fast, it just won't happen the way we want to. Market's still looking good despite all of those bloody days just like yesterday.

I wouldn't call people idiots because they/we have been believing that bull run will come for this year. This crypto market is very unpredictable and it's understandable that bull run is imminent but we just can't say that it shall rise for this year.

RIP bull market - it does not seem like a bull run in the near future, but in the future it will come (in the perspective of several years).
I expect the smaller bull runs to come this year. But for a good bull run (similar to 2017), we wait for one to three years.

As others have said, there's no bull run, just FOMO who enter because they think there is an imminent bull run. Yeah, I would think there will be smaller runs like this for the rest of the year, but it won't be the same as 2017.

2017 bull run can happen again, maybe in the next 1-2 years (might be a long time), but hey everyone wants to make a lot of money so patience is a virtue key.

You might see the trend reversal every now and then and it is not a new scene in this market and that will continue to happen until you see some changes in the market in both direction, a change in the market situation of five hundred dollars does not mean that the market is on a bull ride, it is just a sharp rise and the market reversed as soon as it hit the resistance. A bull run means it will break every resistance that is in front of them until it reaches exhaustion.

The volatility of the cryptocurrencies market is not new things to us and I could remember that bitcoin has dropped in price the way it happened several time and what we need to do as a trader is to always set stop loses in trading.

   If this is the bottom, things can just get better in the future. Short-term will see some profit, but I`m for long-term 100%.
It`s not the end of drops, we will have fluctuations through next years. Many rises and drops are waiting for us, this is not
the end it`s a beginning. One thing is sure, every couple years prices will set up new bottoms that will be higher than before.

this is not yet the bottom because as i see the price is still fluctuating  . sometimes the value goes up a little while other times the value go down again  .


sure we can still earn on short term but the profit that we got is not overwhelming as when compare to when we aim for long term  because the value of cryptos tends to move verry slow .


this is not the beggining but this is not also the end  because crypto are soon expected to grow more if the adoption will become prominent .

Long term is the hardest way of making profit yet the safest one.
I think that we are going to see some Bear market trends in the future as well, probably this year will be a crucial one to see what it is going to happen in 2020 as we are in an unstable situation.

RIP? bull run is still going to happen soon in the neae future so why RIP? It's fine to be optimist but don't take every rise as a bull run because it wasn't. You'll end up hopeful with nothing. I didn't expect a bull run in that rise because I believe it's not time yet. The hype was only feel by those who aren't familiar with or mostly those who has lack of experience.

I agree with you dude
it will be very difficult to bring in bullrun in the shortest amount of time, there are no new indicators and information to strengthen trade. and there is likely to be no bull this year. yes, in my opinion

Speaking for bitcoin, well I think bitcoin price is yet to bottom yet and even though many crypto currency analyst see the price of 4200 as the bottom but I personally foresee 4500 as steal till we set in for the bull run.

So the year is still quite early and I expected the bull run to set in within the next 200 days though The market will experience lots of fluctuation as you said, but its best most holders learn to also trade so that they can also take advantage of the fluctuations while waiting for the bull run benefits too. The coming of BULL RUN within the next 200 is inevitable provided the market can break all the resistance soon.

I don't believe in predictions that will reduce bitcoin, because basically bitcoin is strong. Price problems that continue to decline occur everywhere and in any business field. So, don't be afraid and be whiny to run away from bitcoin.
In the next one or two months the price of bitcoin will rise, indeed a little but that's proof that bitcoin is economically healthy and worthy of being a future investment portfolio. There is nothing to be afraid of, remember ten years ago bitcoin was nothing and the owner was considered ridiculous to collect bitcoin. But now the hundreds of dollars invested have become millions of dollars.

predictions/speculations/fuds/news and others alike  ... all of them can reduce the price of bitcoin because people tend to believe on them even the claims arent accurate enough .


bitcoin is not strong because its not the one that dictates its price but people or the investors are  . we are strong because we continue ot hodl our coins and we keep on supporting the bitcoin .

Your opinion matters but everyone has our own opinion.
I maybe so bullish but I think this year we will have a bull run, let me ask you, have you predicted the last 2017 bull run correctly or not?
I believe only few have predicted it right and that proves that the market is so unpredictable.

What is even a bull market? Who brings the bull market? The little knowledge I have gathered tells me that our behaviour to the market will make it either a bear one or a bull one. If you keep saying there will be no bull run, do not expect anyone from a different planet to come and buy bitcoin to increase the price. We must be ready to see a bull run instead of always impatiently looking for a bull run and if that doesn't happen, you turn to hate BTC.

It's not time to say RIP for a bullrun expectation, if the trade ends in a one sale, it will trigger a big panic everywhere that so far we have not seen such an event because the market continues to keep its value and will still increase. Losing hope like that will only make you lose more, be patient a little more if you still want the next bull to happen.

People expect the price to grow as they've predicted, when the growth pattern gets deviated from the prediction they come to a solution and conduct the RIP ceremony. This way bitcoin has died several times and more RIP ceremonies too have been conducted by different people. It is very simple predicted growth will happen, but none is sure about the time frame, until then just keep hold with patience.

This scenario was a redundant perceptions which most weaker holders tend to said RIP to bull market. But once the market started to commence to recovery mode, these shit minded people will turn out in revert on what they said badly became an angelic statements. That's how a two sided trader behaves all the time, without concrete idea they'll always kept on repeating an old tale version. The right thing to do now is always wait and don't complain, it's so simple.

Right mindset. News tells that bitcoin bull run is imminent.

the fudsters are correct that bull seems to be dead because what we are mostly experience is only a bull trap  . they are being honest on what they see so dont judge them  .  but of course for the other users  , they will still believe that a bull run can still happen in the future as soon as the adoption becames dominant  .

Bullrun cannot start earlier than the market has completed the whole cycle of rebirth, it is like a phoenix

I think we have reached a considerable amount of time for the recovery process, we haven't had a bull run yet for a year?
does it need to take more time? yeah I know the market isn't strong enough to raise prices, so be patient a little more

It seems that everyone seems to think that if the bull market does not appear that is a bad news but I see it in the opposite way, the longer it takes for the bull market to come the more bitcoin you can get for a low price and the less people are in the market competing with you for that bitcoin, it is selfish but if you consider yourself an investor you need to be selfish.

People expect that bull run to come fast, they wish a lot of profit in their bags and they constantly think about it. They dont think about anything else, about technology, development, adoption, they just want higher prices so they can sell. When they sell they want price to drop to buy, some people are in this for dollars not for technology. That makes them blind for almost everything else, avoid this people, avoid discussions with them, just do your thing.

We have to wait longer to bring the bull run,it is not going to happen with the few trades makes the market greener,it is only possible when all the people starts to believe that we are at the bul run so we have to buy more than what we are selling.I thought that it was a bull run but still the growth was very tine to be considered it as a bull run.
