If you were wondering what stage we are in atm

1-2 month btc price 30-50k, mark this post so you can get a free psychic reading later.
or as I like to think of it 2500-4000 hours per coin at min wage

History can happen again and I’m also confident for this but there’s no specific time for the bull run and new ATH. It can happen this year or after 3 years of down, patience is important. In the next two months I don’t see $30k with bitcoin, i might be wrong but its a high price to reach, maybe its 2-3 years or more.

Not saying that this is impossible, but you're just giving people false hopes. Prices rises like this are definitely NOT guaranteed whatsoever.

"past performance doesn't indicate future returns."

I'd pump the brakes a little.  30k to 50k in a month or 2 based on a chart is no guarantee by any means.  TA is a funny thing in crypto still.  Give me beginning of 2018 and people were charting 30k-50k too.  I'm bullish but not that bullish yet.  We could see a lot of sideways action, a lot of people burned a lot of dough last year on alts.  You will see more profit taking this time around halting some upwards movement.  No 2 years are the same in crypto. 

The market looks different today and I don't see assurance that of what happen last 2017 will soon to happen in Bitcoin again. We're not losing our hope but when it comes into reality and of what the market shows today, I felt that history never seems to make it happen again.
It could be better to say that crypto will stay stronger and live longer and everyone could have the chance to enjoy it as what it used to be.

Will surely take your words for it. Right now, bitcoin is facing the best time to go up, up into the sky. There is a slight correction happening as I write this response but I know this is just a temporary thing. Days from now, bitcoin will show us what it got under its sleeves. The big bull run is real and it is happening sooner than we are expecting.

I thought you are up into something interesting but telling that bitcoin can go as high as that without any support of your claim, I don't think that it will encourage everyone.

Yes, we'd like to see bitcoin pump as high as that within a short period of time but I think it's unlikely.

Just because it has happened once before doesn't mean it will happen again, much less that it will happen in essentially the same way. We're going to need more instances to even begin to conclude that there's a trend, and trends aren't even always followed.

Cheers if you're right though. I'm not complaining lol.

And how many $$ of washtrading by the exchanges is included in this volume graph? All of us knows that bitcoin can go much higher in the future, but as long as the exchanges do a massive washtrading no one has an idea about the correct volume at the moment

I bet for next year because this time to achieve 15k can become a big achievement for bitcoin. I just consider the halving time will bring us to that rates. did you remember the previous ATH achieved by bitcoin after bitcoin has already done its halving that makes the block decrease a half from the previous reward.
I think that 15k for this year and it will even more for next few years. This time looks a bit different because before halving and bitcoin already done a bullish trend.

$30K will only be possible if we breach our ATH and we will have a new one, as definitely the FOMO will happen big time.

I will mark your thread but I'm not going to bet $30K will happen in the next 2 months, that's just crazy.. I like it but don't believe on it.  ;D

BTC has no doubt has made a big leap.
In the starting of this year it was struggling.
But now has impressed everyone by moving up.
But still no predictions for it, as it may rise or fall.
The best thing is to wait and watch and dont just get panic.

No one who cares about bitcoin would not have anything against $30k or even more in next 1-2 months, but I personally think that comparison of 2019 with 2017 is wrong, the circumstances were quite different at that time. Then we had a slow growth from $1000 to some $7000 over a period of almost 11 months, and then big pump to $20k in less then a month.

Now we have 100% growth in last 2 month, and although bitcoin is pretty unpredictable I do not see how and why the price should increase at least 4 times in the next 2 months? I think that the price will remain below $10k for a while, but who can bet on anything when it comes to bitcoin.

Too many people are awaiting a bullrun and a new ATH (soon). Too much confidence out there. No fear etc. You know what, I start believing that Bitcoin will do the opposite. Probably diving deep down again.

Could be, but if so I think its very temporarily cause halving event is closing in .....

Still I don't think very deep dives are happening, but more short lived ones like we just have seen, then again its BTC and we shall just have to follow its narrative, and i'm always fine with that :)

Of-course I prefer UP as we all do (BTC'ers, what the NO-coiners want is the last what I care for)

I'm prepared for UP and i'm prepared for down, my 1BTC will stay 1BTC and thats something that doesn't gonna change!  :)

I like that. I am hoping for a massive crash so I can buy more BTC for the same amount of fiat. The price pumping has made me stop dollar cost averaging for a while now, so I have some fiat that wants to be put to work.

The dump yesterday from $9000 to $8000 was a confirmation that we're in an ascending triangle which has a bias to the upside when breaking out, so I'm not very confident in a massive crash.

Last year people were a fool to hodl their coins while this year people are a fool for selling their coins. Taking profits at $5000 was a mistake, $6000, $7000 and maybe even the $8000 mark. We'll see where it goes.

Oh man, no more crash! We all got enough time to buy cheap when it was crawling the $3,500, even the whales. 2019 has been pretty boring so far. Too bad for you, no cheaper bitcoins ;D Let's make a better Q2.  Lucius says it could hit the $30k in 2 months, I now Bitcoin can become crazy but pretty sure it will take longer than some months, maybe not even in 2019...

Crazy, didn't think $8.8k would arrive so soon. Some thing may change or development is unquestionably here/may have occurred. Need to see a break betwen some flame closes beneath the swing low at $6646 before I consider shorting. And if volume preceeds price... shits gonna pump another $1000-$1500

I'm talking about dollar cost averaging, not buying in big. I have done my main buying part below $4000 already, but it sucks dollar cost averaging at these prices. I want the most out of my fiat, not less.  :P

Who is Lucius? Every random forum member is just guessing. It could go to $20k or plummet back to $6000 in the coming months. No one expected the price to touch $9000 so soon.

Before the pump people thought that 2019 would be a slow year and $5000 before the end of the year would be a great price, but we have been generously rewarded. This market is full of surprises.

When we went to 10K first it was ad a high speed followed by a quick dump, further as where we went yesterday...

Every up has its downs.... only thing to do is HODL, and have Some spare BTC to use for daily purposes

So one learned to live with BTC as well and not only HODL it....

Then always just respect the % in cold storage is in cold storage for one reason.... HODL

Well said there.

We knew we could expect a point where this would happen, we went trough it on the 7k mark in almost the same pattern.

Yup! Bitcoin isn't doing anything, it's just the US dollar that's about to lose or gain a bit more of its non-existent value.  :D

I remember having seen an old video clip from 2013 where some legacy bobos just couldn't wrap their head around how 1 Bitcoin could be worth more than a single US dollar. It must have been a tough decade for naysayers looking at how their predictions were trashed by Bitcoin, while the worst part is that they are missing out on these gains themselves.

Even if you don't like Bitcoin, every rational thinking investor would at least allocate a certain smaller percentage to Bitcoin in order to not miss out.

I can see all the sign of macd facing up and that is a sign of big momentum and that another big explosion of pricing is about to happen. The little reversal we are seeing now is to create a support level for the next bull run. The wise investors are going to take the opportunity of bitcoin falling to $8218 today to buy at the best price. I have being trying to convince some of my friends to buy at this right time that it is a bit low again.

Of course such price $30k to $50k is possible but within 1-2months you said, I disagree. It's near as too good to be true. Considering from where we are right now, testing and showing resistance in every barrier we broke. Maybe price has the ability to get up $1k in an hour but I don't think we might reach that price in such time frame. Too high.

The last time we had a severe dump (as in double digit percentage in a few hours) everything was wiped out within the next day, and we achieved another 2019 high. Of course, today (yesterday) was a little funny, finally breached 9k and then that sell off happened.

But yeah, still spending/buying what I need. Still keeping as much as possible. Today's price, yesterday's price, tomorrow's, all the same for me until the day arrives for me to stop and smell my coffee.

Always respect!

Bitcoin already up pretty high, usually I don't do speculation based on the history, I prefer to see tge adoption rate, how well the market performance and the investors enthusiasm, the indicators are showing positive movement so it's not wrong to predict the price going to go up

I see the chance for bitcoin price to go up from that chart and I hope that we will see it's happening soon. Maybe in the next month, the price can increase higher and fly higher up to $10,000 because that will be possible to see the price to reach that price. But we need to always careful because the correction for the price will always come after the price reach the very highest price like we saw yesterday. So if we can prepare for the worst, then nothing needs to worry.

So the buyers from $20k are now halfway to their ROI.

Be really aware that they may sell this coins anytime. That could lose the value of bitcoin again from a big dump that could happen.
This will not be a correction anymore but more of just taking the ROI and a surrender maybe for those who have already lose their hope.
They just want their money back.

As of the 30-50k price that you said. Yes, it may happen but the question is really when?

I doubt that a lot of people bought at 20k. Otherwise it would have gone up higher.

As of 30-50k, I don´t see any volume. Its just pump, wait a few days, dump or pump again and see how the market reacts. I think just some big players trying to manipulate things.

I've been knowing bitcoin since 2015 ago and at least I was through many phases to see its movement price such as I have experienced to saw that bitcoin price went up around $1200 in an hour and otherwise I have felt when bitcoin price decreased around $1000 and more just in an hour. However, when its price always continue to fall I always have a fear that bitcoin will never touch a high price again.

But it is just a feared although I can't understand it sometimes and never had a strategy to buy again just focus on recover my investment after its price continue to down. Whilst, that is the time for us to buy bitcoin as much as possible because its prices will goes to high in few hours. But eventually, bitcoin give another answer to me because my fear is not relevan to my predict. This is who make I believe bitcoin 100% and I never through the situation to not buy it, I'll buy although with the little amount of money.

I think will really go higher and who will have a bitcoin and hold for 2,3 years will get a good profit and will fell good that hold for so long. But until then we need to watch and see if the price will grow or drop and when is the best to time to buy.

I consider any prediction or analysis just another opinion to consider among many others. I quoted Lucius because I echo his opinion but wasn't fully agree with. So I wanted to say if it happens (and it could) it will take longer than 1 or 2 months. Why not? You admit by saying the market is surprising=)

Let's have chillin moment while price remained sustainable in the next few days to move close to the better price. So right now all we need to develop is courage in facing such challenges onwards. When price got so high it will attract more demands and give people the strength in pursuing their dreams in holding their coins.

not much volume was exchanged at $20k compared to the last 17 months of trading. they aren't a significant factor anymore. any buyers near the 2017 top either sold a long time ago or have no intention of selling at a loss.

i do think there's still resistance from 2018 buyers---those who bought into the february, april, and july rallies. i think they will help facilitate some sizeable pullbacks to this rally.

Interesting how btc was going down yesterday after it finally reached to 9000 dollars, but the market is already green again. It means we have already had the correction and bitcoin is still showing a great potential to keep on this rising trend.
Now I think the bull run has come to stay. Although to think it's going to 50k dollars soon is just daydream.

I think my brain is finding it difficult to breakdown and interpret what you are trying to say here, but if I am to use my idea, you are saying BTC will head to $30k to 50K in the next two months? If that is so, you must be a joker and your comedy is not funny at all because you are unreal.

The biggest analyst who is an expert in analysis coins will know that this vision of yours is a blind one. Bitcoin can never get to that value in the next 2 months. I don’t see any news anywhere that will cause that big increase or create FOMO, before we even get to see $25k, you would have also sell your coin too, but I know in future bitcoin will increase to that permanently and even record its all-time low on that one day, but that will not be in years to come.

I never wrote that bitcoin could be worth $30k in next 2 months, this is OP assumption, all I wrote is this :



This is also speculation board, and most of threads / post are based on wishful thinkings, with the exception of some TA which at the end are only analyzes based on something that has happened in the past. I do not understand why people are too excited about what someone wrote, especially if it is someone like the OP.

I think we are not at the same place, we are going to have a big run that is basically longer version but at higher prices.

Meaning bitcoin once reached 20k but one month before 20k it was 3-5k and one month after it was 8k or whatever. Which means bitcoin didn't stay high for too long. This time we may reach 20 thousand dollars but we are going to have a longer road there and a long road afterwards and then we will have a long road down if we go down, we are not going to just go up and down in a month and call it a day.

Even compared to previous peak we are already too late to hit the all time high when pace is compared, which means we are still doing fine but without pace. Let's wait and see what will happen, I am sure it will be 30k+ one day soon but I really think it will be by end of the summer.

We all want to create positive news about bitcoin, but when we create one, it should even be the one that will motivate people into acting and not the one that people and even believers of bitcoin knows that it will be impossible, which they will just simply ignore.

The highest I agree bitcoin can increase to on or before the end of December will be $10k, history doesn’t have to repeat itself, and like you said, the last surge happened when people were quite still new to BTC market, and we had lots of new investors, but now, you can compared the number of investors we got, especially during the ICO time to what we have now.

  Everyone has speculating bitcoin's growth will continue to arouse bountifully, as its value has shown positive progression and huge potential. And mostly are very optimist because of visioning its accurate prediction will abruptly occur soon.

Not all bro  . not everyone is speculating about bitcoins growth because not all people are bitcoiners some of them are altcoiner and some of them are just plain haters  .  they speculate about the status of other coins and they speculate about the fall of bitcoin  .

also , not because you see bitcoin is increasing that does not mean that its value will continue to grow  .  keep in mind that bitcoin is still prone to manipulation and other deadly factors that could kill its momentum .

Each time we go up and go down it means we are climbing a bit up and taking away from those levels for a bit, then we go back but next time we go up it is easier, so by going up and down multiple times and making sure the resistance points are eradicating a bit we are making sure the potential to break that resistance and go higher is possible. We didn't break the 9 thousand dollar levels today but I am sure we will break it next time, if we can't then we will break it on the next one, I don't care how many times it will take as long as we keep on trying we will eventually break it.

The question is are we spending the money we don't have right now, if we are spending all of our ammo breaking 9 thousand dollars then we might have a trouble afterwards on the next resistance.

I think the real bitcoin bull market has started. I am very optimistic about the future value of Bitcoin.

The really large projections rely on far larger markets to have a knock on influence to Bitcoin.    Looking at the Bitcoin chart can only show so much, like expecting to know the tide from the level of a rock pool when the ocean lies beyond its current reach.

To expect Bitcoin gains accumulating into more  would require greater changes to occur in global currency flows.   At least in some sector, transactions or even storage of value.   If its purely speculation then as some say it will run out of gas and fall as the promise is empty.

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

I look at the Dollar index for a series of highs to form lower, this process takes years but its required for any big gain in BTC I think.   Doesnt mean BTC has to gain but it puts it as a possible

Sad to say, bitcoin is at the long stay at $8,500 to $9,500 margin. It has been a month if im right. But compared to its $4,000 bottom price, its better this way. One to two months is really possible if it can be released to that margin. I predict that this year will be greater than 2017 so lets all witness it.

Bitcoin is been pushed down a little and I see it as another opportunity to buy now. Bitcoin was predicted to get to $10,000 before end of this month but that did not seem achievable now because of the way the whole thing is going. I think we are going to see good price this year but the $30,000 you predicted may not be reach.

I don't know if it was on the verge of going up at that time but now it is.

I mean it didn't go up really high so we know it wasn't 4 days ago but right now it will. Why? Because, there was this one huge sale on the markets today that made the price drop insanely low but afterwards there was absolutely no drop by the people who normally panic sell and create this wave. One big whale sells and then everyone scares and sells, that didn't happened. What happened? One big whale sold and then everyone just kept waiting on what will happen next so the price stood still.

Now, if you buy from here the price will recover to nine thousand dollars and that will make sure we will all profit from this guys move.

See dude,
First of all Bitcoin is a type of coin that is really hard to predict.
Secondly if you see at the early phase, it was increasing.
But compare to last 4 to 5 days,  the price is way down.
I am completely worried by seeing the downfall of the coin like that.
Lets hope for the best and wish BTC will rise high again.

I'm more worried about you.

The way you talk about a simple and healthy pullback isn't normal. It tells me that you are not equipped enough to be in this market.

We went from $3000 to $9000, is it that difficulty for you to understand that the price takes a step back? Unless you went all in around $9000 (which I hope you didn't) you should be happy that the price is going down. Buying lower is always better than buying higher because you get more bang for your buck. Common sense it is called.

The question is are we spending the money we don't have right now, if we are spending all of our ammo breaking 9 thousand dollars then we might have a trouble afterwards on the next resistance.

I’ve just thought the same thing here, we probably don't have more money to spend on BTC, we all have BTC and holding
This is the reason we need more money from new people interested in BTC and more importat, big companies

It's called uptrend and it's what I'm predict when I decide to invest for long term in crypto especially with bitcoin.
Before 2019, bitcoin reach critically low but I'm not reckless to sold it all out but I stay confident that this day will come
And it's really happen,right ?

We will see so many speculating or prediction from many people because they are learning about analyzing the chart from different sources. I only know that bitcoin is about to go really high, but I don't know how the higher bitcoin price will be because there is no right prediction so far. We could only wait and see the price moves, and I think we can buy more bitcoin from now while the price still at a low price.

Everyone can have their predictions by checking the charts, comparing them but actually, such similarity might be present but it doesn't mean anything at all. Just my humble opinion though. But okay, sometimes predictions are exciting to see so you have something to look forward to and make a wild guess if it will be realized or not.

I don't think we will cross $30 or $50.000 in the next two months, but in a little longer period those numbers should be possible to reach, it would not be surprising to see bitcoins sold for those numbers before the new year.

The trading volume is great this year, I can say we have a better volume compared to the previous years, price is not yet half of its ATH but people are already aggressive in trading again. That means the market has grown, we are seeing maybe new investors and old investors in the market actively trading, and despite the long bear, now we are set to a big recovery which I think will happen this year until next year.

As much as I wanted the price to see hits that level, I don't think it can be achieved in the next 1-2 months. A week after the OP posted his prediction, a lot of things did happen, the price is ~$8000 again and it didn't move the way we wanted it to go. We had a good bounce, but it was far too weak in my opinion. Confirmation of a bullish or bearish trend is not that clear though, but I will gladly take a HODL position at this point. So let's be realistic here, that mark would be hit until the next block halving.

Unlike the trading volume there is good price move taking place with bitcoin based on its increasing acceptance level same as the traditional fiat. People have known better about cryptocurrency and have begun to invest as well spend good on cryptocurrencies. This is the true reason for the increase in the percentage of trading volume. Earlier volatility is considered an issue, now have understood the reality.

Yeah there is really a high chance that bitcoin could go high and even surpasses the 2017 bitcoin market ATH market price. Especially that nowadays the market could have a surprising market price movement. Usually, the huge market price pump up is the people around the world invested together and then just lay there money on a certain platform to which like I am promoting it also.

With the look of things no amount of Bitcoin increase will surpasse the one that happened in 2017 before the end of this year in my opinion though I stand to be proof wrong with evidence on how it will happen before end of this year.

The only evidence that can proof that is the moment when we are there. Maybe it is better to state what the right conditions are to get to a new ath.

Lets just wait what will happen in the next couple of month its too early to predict if Bitcoin will continue to dominance in the next few month all of us are waiting to this history repeat again. It will happen surely like what the chart say imo if $10,000 break we can see a new all time high.

Well for me I'm confident that bitcoin will be go higher this year maybe not like what we expected price but I feel that bitcoin will go high price this year and next year. So hold on to what you have right now because it's not really started the rally.

The price of 30k - 50k is too much hope and there is no certainty that prices will be achieved in the near future, and even the next 2-3 years will likely be difficult to reach 30k.

The funny thing about the price movement is that you cannot have any evidence until the price moves in that direction and then we can speculate about it, i never expect the price of bitcoin to rally like that in 2017, during that rally i expected the price would touch $10K and then we will see a correction but the rally kept on moving higher until it touched around $19.5 K, do we have a concrete evidence on why the price broke all those resistance in a short period of time other than speculating the obvious reason  :).

Let's see then, you are making a conclusion too early, as if you don't see how the price of bitcoin move last bull run.
Take a look at the chart below and see how bitcoin from less than $1,000 rises to almost $20,000.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/

That's x20, and if the current price which is $8000 will be multiplied by x20 that would reach 160K usd.

It really that big and I don't know how people could react into this. It maybe some billionaire will jump into crypto cause of the profits it gives more than enough from any stock investment. But still a big question if people low profile person could risk their money in here cause it is really expensive.

Though we need to be positive and even think for another bitcoin ATH but thinking for x20 to its price today, it is truly hard to achieve and I'm not that very optimistic person.

YES! History can repeat again but that's before we should keep a watch out what's going next. For now, BTC needs to get back above its resistance level to proceed with its bullish trend. As long as Bitcoin will alive, not only continue to dominance but also reach another superior level.

As long as Bitcoin is in demand in the cryptocurrency market, it will occupy a leading position.  But it is worth thinking about what opportunities Bitcoin and If other cryptocurrency offers, which give much better conditions.  It seems to me that for Bitcoin you need to improve the speed of the transaction and reduce the price for transactions, as well as fully start using Bitcoin as a means of payment.

Nope. History provides the evidence that we don't need fast and cheap transactions to pump hard. It also shows that Bitcoin doesn't need to be used as a means of payment. It just has to go up and the herd will jump on it because they love buying Bitcoin when it goes up. They don't buy it when it goes down, while that usually is the best time to buy.

People don't care enough about the technical side to have it be an important aspect to either invest or not invest in Bitcoin. Just look at how altcoins without any fundamentals pump super hard. IOTA during the previous bull run pumped to insane levels with a broken network. No one noticed that until exchanges stopped accepting deposits and withdrawals.

Years ago I thought that most altcoins would disappear because of them not having strong fundamentals, but I have been proven wrong on that. They will stay alive as long as there is enough speculative demand.

People will think it negatively when the market drops since before but they are wrong. We started at very low and tested a lot of time but things went good and its volatility was now accepted by the majority. It is sad that some of us still in doubts, they aren't learning from the past.
A lot of people lose their money but they keep their life in here investing cause they know that sooner they'll see the bright side of crypto and everything will be fine.

Altcoins take Bitcoin's lack of liquidity to a new level. It's amazing how few coins are circulating, and how many fewer yet are landing on exchanges and being sold. Many altcoins also have incredibly concentrated supplies. Whales withhold most of that supply from market and patiently wait for altcoin demand and hype to pick up again.

This is the reason why Bitcoin forks like Bcash are still afloat today too. Bitcoin forks have the added bonus that so much of the supply is completely static and quite possibly lost. So with miners like Bitmain withholding mining supply from the market, the market is even easier to prop.

Can you remember when the price bitcoin at beggining of 2017 ago? It's price only $900 but you can imagine how its price went up until touched $20.000. Can you imagine it? Logically a very drastic price increase such as that will never happened in any investment place, but none when you invest in bitcoin. You must believe that, the price of bitcoin can increase up to $1000 in one hour, and this has often happened. So, to reach the price of $40,000 or even $50,000 it could be happen if the market stick up and some information that comes are really good, we must be optimistic.

If the same trend will happen in the past bull run, we might see that price, people might forget that they should not compare to other form of investment like stocks as we are in the crypto world, the price movement here is different and there's plenty of surprises in the market.

Why are we not calculating the already increased amount? I mean it was at bottom 3.2k and now its 8k which means if you calculate from 8k then it will be 160k but if you calculate it from 3.2k then it will be 64k (I hope :D my math sucks) that is why you can't calculate it like that, we don't know it will do 20x at all neither maybe it won't do another 20x but will only do 10x which is still a lot in finance anyway.

So, calculating from 3.2k and calculating it as 10x that will come to 32k and that would be all time high but nowhere near 160k level at all. This is bitcoin, people who have been around for a long time (way before 2017 peak) will tell you that btc can be 1k tomorrow or 10k and none of it would be weird.

This neglects to show the long period BTC went sideways after 2014 and also the effect of halvening around that time.     It rose and also fell, it was really not till late 2016 that I remember this rise being of note and a regular trend upwards over multiple time periods

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

We have lost a daily trend upwards, it now forms the top ceiling to price movements daily.   If market should take profits on that basis Im not thinking we rise much further without double checking previous price levels around 6000 because that was the bottom so often in 2018 I dont think we ignore that history now

Thinking positive isn't going to help you unfortunately--people were overly positive last year hoping for a bull run to happen, but it didn't happen. Lower lows was what people were subjected to in all of 2018.

The thing with Bitcoin is that it can always go lower or higher than what you think is possible. Bitcoin during bear and bull markets acts so irrational that it is either extremely oversold or overbought.

The multi year bull market might have started already, so with a few more sparks it can definitely surpass the $100k mark in the coming 2-3 years. Betting against Bitcoin is dangerous. Make sure you're long with a fat hodl stack.

I do not understand this tendency to project our expectations on the price of bitcoin based on past behaviors. It is well known that things have never happened like this, and this way of predicting the future behavior of the market has never been an easy task, because if it were, this would be one of the easiest businesses in the world. In addition, the fact that everyone entered the market following these types of forecasts would imply altering the market, thus modifying any anticipated perspective.

Price speculation is too high, 30 to 50 is just to high in a time when cryptocurrencies aren't doing so well, we are not even half way through the all time high of bitcoin and you say we can do this in 1-2 months.amazing!
OP just how did you get to these estimates and what factors or signals are going to help us get to this price?

I like how you guys discover a lot of similarities through charts but who says that past charts will be repeatible even if they are similar to current ones? In overall I agree with you, bitcoin's price will rise buw how soon? According to your discovery, we have to see this rise pretty soon, I'm holding, not moving them currently. Let's see what will happen in near future.
Hope your "hope" isn't just another wasted one and it will turn from hope into reality.

Yeah there is a high chance that speculation will going to come true. Besides, I have read a thread regarding a billionaire wishing yo buy 25% of bitcoin total supply for no particular reason. If this will be realizing then a hype will be expected with the purchase of 25% bitcoins total supply will surely make bitcoin soar high. And I think it will reach to 30K usd per btc market price.

We are still in a wild guess,  and yet to know that every speculations we've made will can be possible at its near or a big opposite one.  Even we do TA's and seriously follow the trend since before but it is not guaranteed to be at exact thing to happen in the future.

To be honest, I didn't expecting bitcoin will reach back again into $20k so it won't make to be disappointed. I've preferred to be surprise.

I expect the market moving above 20k in the year end 2019 due to lot of factors and you can see recent market moving uptrend, which is also a good sign of bull run.

I cannot see the correlation here.
The thing that I can see is that there already happened huge trading volumes before we hit the bull run. I don;t think that this is a good sign. Prolly when the price will increase most people will start selling causing a resistance on that level.

Many look at charts and see a similar pattern and then they believe that history is bound to repeat itself but for every positive example of a pattern producing a bull run you could find many in which the market fails to follow through and just remain static or it goes down, I am happy with the current growth we have experienced and I do not oppose an even greater growth but I am skeptical and I am not going to change my mind until the market gives more signs that it is ready to go up even more.

While there are analysts out there calling out $20,000 by the end of this year or maybe even higher, I will not wait for that to happen. I will just take profits on short trades and before you knew it, your initial capital could have doubled in just a span of 3 months, no need to wait for the ATH to happen again.

That is really a good strategy but it will only work if you know what you are doing. Doing short-term trading can give you small profits and yes, if you will accumulate those profits, before you knew it, it is like you already hit the all time high. And you might get it at a much shorter period of time if you really work on it rather than waiting for months or years to hit your target.

Going back to what the OP posted, there might have been similarities with the graph but I don't think the current trend has relation to that old one. But anyway, it is just speculation, nothing wrong with that.

Expect more exciting development in Bitcoin market as long as many countries are supporting it like the US CFTC are going to approve the Bitcoin futures which mean we will expect a Bitcoin market rise up as it will attract millions of investments for sure.

Can't tell if you are being serious or you are sarcastic with this prediction. 1-2 months time to predict that bitcoin will reach $30k - $50k has a chance to happen and the probability would be 0.00001% base on my opinion and estimation or you mistyped and got a typographical error. I'm eyeing for $30k - $50k but not with that kind of span, my prediction is around 2-3 years time or more if anything won't happen between those years.

That's more realistic, in short term it seems impossible as we are from a big ATH which price has fallen afterwards.
We might not see a pump like that, what I'm expecting is a slow and steady rise and I think that's best for the market so no more panic will happen.

How do you know the CFTC will approve the Bakkt futures? Bakkt has come up with another launch date for next month, but they yet again don't have an approval in their pocket.

It doesn't seem like there is much that's different this time. If they yet again will have to delay their launch date next month, they'll lose even more credibility. It really starts to become quite an embarrassing situation.

The only positive thing is that the market doesn't seem to care about Bakkt and therefore doesn't react to positive or negative announcements from their side. Bitcoin will go up regardless of Bakkt or an ETF.

Bitcoin is growing this year and will continue to grow, but you should not expect a high level of growth. The previous years can only serve as a guide as Bitcoin and in general a cryptocurrency develops, however, there will almost never be a similar growth rate. Each year is unique. Here everything changes. Including changing participants cryptocurrency market. In other situations, they also act differently, and this directly affects the price of our coins and tokens.
After such a long period of a bear market, it cannot again show the same growth rates as in the second half of 2017.

There is no doubt that the Bitcoin price will go high, but I am sure Bitcoin will not hit 25K to 30K USD within 3 months or even in this year. The market chart looks very well, but look at the market condition, It is still not that good to hope BTC at 25K USD!

technically it looks like they plan to self-certify through ICE so they won't be getting any sort of public approval from the CFTC. presumably they are working closely with the CFTC so they don't pull the plug on the market a few days after it launches.

i really don't know what to make of the announcement about user acceptance testing. bakkt could still just be trying to keep the hype up while they continue talks with regulators.


i think they know that, which is why they stopped announcing launch estimates. they've only announced that testing will begin next month. :P

In 3 months? Of course, it can't be, unless there is a magic around in crypto. But the situations are getting pretty hard which even seeing the market prices moves slowly. This couldn't be enough to jump high reaching into the top in just 3 months, it may be a year after.
Though it looks amazing and tempting to see at that price but it is too far from the real thing to happen. 

Yes, during 2017 bull trend we experienced similar form of growth. Until the days close to drastic price increase the market was quite normal and suddenly it began to grow in multiples and some day there is growth happening in $1000+ which took it to reach ath in very small time period. There is possibility for a rise in this year, but we're not sure whether it is to $25k or higher. If we're about the year 2020 then surely we'll reach $25k which can be described based on the halving.

Looking at those prices for a very short time, I highly doubt that it's likely to reach. It's fine to have these high predictions but as long you give a valid span of when it should reach that amount. Although there's also a history that bitcoin reached $20k in few weeks, it may happen again but the price that was given on this thread was just too much to expect. It's the reality that we won't see this price for the given dates but we can expect that for few more years.

Investors are more vigilant now.
Without a clear use of bitcoin in our every day life we are not going to see a price of more that 15k in my opinion. From that level and above people will think carefully and they are going to sell easier that to buy.

I must agree with "hirngespenst" about one thing, bitcoin will not reach new all times high price this year. In the next couple of years, we might see bitcoin hitting 6 digits price, it`s how high bitcoin can go in the next couple of years. After halving everything is possible to happen with bitcoin price, it can really skyrocket.

Pretty soon we will see some parabolic action with bitcoin going to the moon and taking the other altcoins with it. The charts don't lie and often history will repeat itself, looking forward to seeing what the naysayers have to say about bitcoin

Yeah, its expected to happen this year because last year is the bear market and now is the recovery period while next year will be the whole bull market. We are seeing a good bounce back for the price of bitcoin, its not that high but we can see a more convincing pump than the previous hype, I’m expecting bitcoin to go to the moon, we can really break the wall now on the level of $9k, more days to go.

It's been bitcoin thus far which is the most dominant in the market, and a good price movement of bitcoin will later affect the overall market.
There's a lot of big news waiting in the corner and as market remains bullish, I'm confident this is the right timing to announce that big news as it would push the market in resulting to big up trends.

It really did, we are seeing bitcoin increasing once again, it is always a happy day when I see bitcoin going up, I have missed seeing bitcoin at these high prices, it is close to $9.3k now which is the top we have seen in 2019, lets hope in few days we can break the biggest of 2019 price as well.

I am sick and tired of waiting around and I want to cash out finally but I promised myself I won't do that unless I see my profits double and in order to reach that I need to see bitcoin at least above 12 thousand dollars or need to see ethereum above 400 dollars and I am not sure which one is more plausible right now. Whichever happens first I will be withdrawing my savings and would like to finally spend it on some stuff I have kept waiting for months and now they are really becoming urgency because of how much I waited.

Bitcoin prices finally crossed $9.4k levels, and have corrected little bit which I feel is natural as people often tend to sell it when it hits new heights. It’ll definitely cross $10k levels in coming days, and achieve a new high of 2019 but till then we may witness more volatility in the prices. @FanEagle that was a smart decision you took of holding your coins, and I would suggest you not to sell them at $12k levels but wait and sell them at 20k levels.

take a very deep breath and tighten your belt, we will fly highly...this is what every crypto enthusiast especially long tern holder expect including me. the moment that every hater or every weak hand's mind will blow. the market trend will return our lost since dramatic fall price happened from the end of 2018 until the beginning of May 2019. its a very long moment for me to hold my portofolio patiently rather than cutting my lost and giving up with falling market trend. i hope this will become the best moment for everyone also.

even the upcoming weeks would be impressive. Got the same fear it will be a wild ride from the 10k bar and up. Hope we can hold the support once we are coming there.

bitcoin prices can reach a little more than $ 10k and I think the price of bitcoin will be easy to reach the target you mentioned because currently the price of bitcoin has begun to enter the rising trend.

I still believe it will more than that. But my main focus is on halving. Maybe it will make  bitcoin price rocketing again because people know bitcoin circulation is decreased in half. So, demand will increased.

For bitcoin to hold support above $10000 the pump has to be big enough. I think this might happen in few days from now as it is now a little bit remain strong above $9000. The current support level around $9078 look very strong to me and a push from there may end bitcoin above $10,000 and a break from that level may dump it towards $8000 or $7500.

Markets are full of distortions, if your theory was correct then it would have been impossible for bitcoin to reach its all time high since most of that increase in the price came from hype, so while your theory makes sense the price of bitcoin depends exclusively on the demand and if the demand skyrockets then you can be sure that we are going to see those prices again, however what we do not know is when that could happen, so watching the market is essential if you are planing of taking advantage of such movements in the future.

If I would be given more chance to express my own words confidently, nothing more I can say about Bitcoin that I am always after to the growing development for it's price. Ever since we're in those struggling days of bearish market, we're able to survive yet all the adjustments of financial matters was forcibly became a domino effect on all the assets we had. That's why during price surges brought us hope and courage to pursue those dreams that we had. Bitcoin certainly is going to rise someday, and will create another historic bounces much better than 2017.

Its still a way off, I dont think thats part of the current rise.  Maybe in 2020 it will come into play but people arent usually patient enough to be thinking a year away

The main reason is a reaction to selling from last autumn which came from a forced source rather then naturally a market finding its own way as part of orders between buyers and sellers, apparently the price lows were 'false' and market rebounded to reflect a higher demand vs supply.    I still think something like a fallback happens before much more of a rise but eventually the halvening will come into play as a factor and in speculation.

Bitcoin market expectations in this bull market is 62000 dollars by some of the trade analysis so this bull run may put most of the dead projects to light and see more adoption happening

  Let us keep positive and determine by engaging an accurate conclusion of the market. We are aware about its high volatilization and it is about our individual deliberation on how we deal the consequence in order to prevail loses. Fortunately, bitcoin's value has pumping up recently, a good sign to speculate the start of bull trend existence.

hopefully the price of bitcoin can return to the price of $ 20k and with the exchange war between US and China hopefully it can have a good impact on the exchange of cryptocurrency and can provide happiness to people who trade in cryptocurrency.

The trading war that has favour bitcoin has not be good for both USA stocks and China stocks it means people are seeing bitcoin as "a safe haven" and it seems bitcoin is now creating alternatives for other trading assets. I join others to wish that the current trend should continue as this will really rewards the long-term holders.

New investors in Bitcoin maybe is the reason why we are seeing a sudden surge of price to $9,500. After the announcement of Facebook that they will launch Libra, price of Bitcoin is slowly going up. We are hoping that trend will continue and rally past $10,000 in a few weeks. Lets also hope there's no big exchange out there that will be hacked as it effects price of Bitcoin too.

I hope so, it usually gives a huge effect on prices, we got lucky at Binace hacking incidents never have a negative impact on the market.
It sometimes we realize that people are so affected when they hear hacking and dropping news in the coming days, they are thinking it in a negative way but not being passionate to accept the reality about crypto scheme(up and down).

Who's monitoring the prices now?

We just surpassed $9,600 and suddenly $9,700.

Bitcoin is breaking new highs after a halfway to 2017's and on the way to $10k+ Are we heading to see Bitcoin price breaking the USD $10K barrier today? We are almost already there though. Some technical analysts predict it will hit $12K before rolling back, it that correct?

   I`m the one of the people who thinks that Bitcoin will go over 100000$ after next halving. I invested in Bitcoins when the price was 2000$, I`m
waiting for that price not cause just for profit, it will be my time to laugh while others around me are quite. They laughed at me when I invested
in Bitcoin first time, some of them still make jokes about me.
