Bitcoin Forum

There's no specific timeline for altcoins commence bull, it could be now? Tommorow? next week or next year. That is always depending on the frequency of the buy and sell orders, and could trigger more demands once the community is always active.

Many of us expect that the altcoin season to come. We had BTC uptrend, now it`s time for altcoins to shine. I think we will see a little bull run in this second half of 2019. Altcoins always have an uptrend right after bitcoin, in cryptocurrencies money flows from Bitcoin to altcoins and vice versa, it's happened many times, it will happen again, and probably many more times.

Dont know if this time altcoins gonna rocket or not, but as per news in my country i can say that NEO is getting a massive pump as the government has made its plan to integrate it in the Pharma sector.

There was no ETA because the market is unpredictable the only thing that you can take it as your point to determine when it will come is the only bitcoin, when bitcoin will become stable and altcoin will increase and that based on my analyzation from the 2017's bull trend when altcoin got sudden increase caused by the bitcoin looks very stable from the volatility and its price.

Many altcoins have real use cases that's why I don't worry about the present altcoins movement ,I believe one way or the other bullrun for altcoins will happen as far as the adoption of altcoins continues

Right now greend day on bitcoin back which migh ignite on the altcoins as well very soon so just grab the coins and wait that to hit your wallets.I bet you it will not be too longer in this year because this is just another 2017 so we are seeing birth of many new investors which includes altcoins as well.

Of course, even bitcoin has no timeline, it depends on when people are going to buy into alt coins again. Some of the top 10 coins though are already moving, still a far cry for their previous highs, but it is a good indication that slowly investors are again noticing it. So we might wait for a bit before that eventual bull run in altcoin markets will happen.

Well, I am pretty hoping for the Bitcoin bull run to pull up some Altcoins price, Well I guess even in a bull run state there is still resistance going on, Or there is another correction after the price go berserk again Because that is how correction works If not for the correction we can not see the potential high value of bitcoin, And for Altcoins Bull run it will depend on the movement of bitcoin because Altcoin is pretty reliant to BTC.

The good thing about not knowing the time when bull run is, the most exciting experience when investing on crypto currency because your taking a risk. If its only knew to the investors when the time of bull run would be then this whole thing will make no sense at all. this is one of the beauty of investing in crypto currency after you invest some big amount of cash If you are destine to earn a big you will get it suddenly but it you're not you can always try again.

That's right, it looks like this year is not the time for altcoin to experience a bullrun, because bitcoin continues to increase so the altcoin enthusiasts decrease, the volume becomes smaller and the price decreases relatively. Maybe vice versa when bitcoin decreases, it's time for altcoin to increase. All need process and patience.

There need to be a really crazy awesome altcoin in order to have an altcoins bull run. The last altcoins bull run is because of etherium flippenning, other altcoins hope to do the same of overtaking Bitcoin. Don't expecting Facebook coin to help altcions bull run because it always be a $1 coin and no flippenning anytime soon. I hope thing will change and this wild wild west cryptos land anything could happen.

Most often, cryptocurrency runs on a supply and demand chain. However, in some cases, it runs on a speculation. True the market is growing lately with bitcoin reaching over $ 10,000. This time I think Facebook's announcement to issue its own digital coin, Libra, has pushed the market towards an increase.   

There is no timeline, but there is a cue to when altcoins do spike, and I think that is when bitcoin is going sideways, the bull run you talked about here, I don’t know if you specifically means normal bull run that affects altcoins individually, or the general bull run. If it is the general bull run, the only timeline for them is when bitcoin is going sideways, and now that we are already in bitcoin bull run, I expect it to go sideways very soon for most altcoins to start surging high.

For the individual bull run, I agree to that fact too that anytime can be there bull run, it all depends on the project and activeness of the developers, the product too matters a lot, because that is what the investors will look at first to determine if they will have interest in the project or not either for a short term investment or a long term investment.

I think the odds of real monster bull season for alts are very low this year but may be next year we can get some flow and momentum into alts because the event of btc halving is going to keep btc in the limelight for months to come that is why im saying that alt season does not look to be near at the moment.

Apart from the fact that the alt season does not look close, it does not look possible for many altcoins. And the later a large pump comes, the less altcoins will be able to rise. There is something to be sad about.

There's no specific time, yes but there's a pattern on when we can determine that it's already a bull run. The time for altcoins hasn't come yet, if you will compare this since 2017. The bull run came for altcoins during early 2018, the first week of January has been the altcoin bull run and those where the times when people are so much confident that alts will increase more. If the altcoin bull run comes, secure yourself and start selling and don't be too greedy.

I think no one can predict exactly when the altcoin price will rise. Altcoin price is hard to predict but I think if we hold a good altcoin, we don't need to worry when the altcoin price will go up because the price will definitely rise when the price of bitcoin starts to stabilize or when daily transaction volume increase

Yes, i think altcoins bullish market would definitely depends on buy and sell orders, or in demand and supply of that altcoin, and at this current market's price it is hard to say or predict when altcoin's bull run would occur, although bitcoin and ethereum is getting its high price for this year.

I know Bitcoin holds 60% of total valuation of all the cryptocoins combined and alts are just too small to differentiate but yet I believe at least some altcoins should be viewed as independent coins rather than being categorized in the whole. The crypto market has matured a lot and a lot of altcoins are moving independent of the market trend.

it has stated so many times and no one can do even do that, even those experts have proper analyzation to the market and they are only speculating and no more. What we can do is only to do the best to get profit as much as we can.
But, did you know when the price of bitcoin will be stabilized? the answer yo didn't even know about that.

But you could always predict when is the Time and when is the right time to buy altcoins. You can use technical analysis or indicators like RSI (Relative Strength Index) for tradings. Some apps like tradingview supporting indicators for you to know how altcoins movements are facing different ways like bull run or bear. You can simply buy at the lowest possible price if you use indicators.

What if the user says "when the bitcoin price rises and then stabilizes, that's where the altcoin will go up"? I agree with what the OP says that supply and demand determine the value of cryptocurrency, not a situation like altcoin determined by the bitcoin movement. There are also those who say the movement of previous years will be the same as the current year, in the analysis of trends that I learned (y=a+bx) indeed with the existing history we can predict future values ​​but that does not mean the movement will be the same.

stay patient in the current market situation, even though bitcoin is experiencing a price decline again does not mean the altcoin will not rise in price. all the time, I'm still sure bullrun is still there and altcoin requests are also increasing. so it's just a matter of time

The current situation with altcoins is not very exciting, given that we have not seen a good increase in altcoins in price for about a year and a half. Some of them lost faith in altcoins.
Hopefully, after the next period of Bitcoin growth, the Altcoins will finally be able to wake up and delight us with their profits.

That's because altcoin price is pressured by the strengthening of bitcoin price. But there are also altcoins whose prices continue to rise following bitcoin movement, so we should not have to worry with our investment in altcoin because if we hold good altcoin and already create a good product, the price will definitely rise.

I don't think we should be predicting about the altcoin market and just allow the market to play out accordingly. I could remember during the bitcoin bear market,  many said that bitcoin will die off, but it was all wrong so guys let's just wait

You have said it the way it is meant to be and there is no better way than it. Most people keeps predicting without knowing everything depends on the nature of the market. The bad thing or unfriendly thing about prediction is, after predicting and it didn't works out. Let's leave the market to have its cause while we invest in coins that are worth it, once the time is right and demand starts setting in, altcoins will take off.

There's no specific time on when altcoins will start to increase and its hard to determine.

Even bitcoin started to improve altcoins were left behind, its unusual since we used to see the price getting up next to bitcoin but this year its different. Some investors are even selling their altcoins to buy btc because they think its more profitable to switch.

The season of altcoins will come lets just wait and be patient.

The price of bitcoin is yet to be stable. While we are waiting for that to happen, altcoins in general will still continue experience pump and dump, except for those with real, good and useful products, which might experience organic growth.
It is possible that the bull run for altcoins might not have much impact or no impact at all on shitcoins.

No one knows when altcoins start their bull run season, but they have come very closely to their end of bear season. Based on what we saw on market, it is highly to confirm that Bitcoin lost its momentum to move upwards much higher from $14,000. Even maintaining its price above $11,000 still been a tough mission, at current period. I think that when bitcoin falls to below $10,000 (or in most terrible case, drops to around $8,000), altcoins will start their bull season.

if a lot of demands coming to cryptocurrency world, i believe thats the time for altcoins price spike up in fast mode
now, altcoins price already rising and started the rally,, but in slow mode buddy
just wait, you need patience to get a good profit  ;)

all depends on market demand. and market demand can increase if every project on altcoin makes an event or update that makes the community bigger. it will make a pump that will eventually grow the altcoin market. don't expect much at the bitcoin pump, because it's difficult to follow this year.

When the price of BTC has gone to bed for a while then the increase in ALT is undoubtedly, a group of pumps will hold a small party and it can't be ascertained. You must be continue to look at the market situation so that you don't miss it.

You are right.The market is unpredictable there is no specific time when bull run comes.But although the market is unpredictable there's an altcoin that have good potential and have high value in the market like ethereum.We may invest in such altcoins that have a good for growth in the future.

yes what you say is true, as a trader you have to understand that crypto is volatile where prices can change significantly over time and are difficult to predict correctly. all you have to do is to keep believing in the altcoins you have.

Fortunately, bitcoin has been unable to move higher, it got stucked around $11,000 range, and altcoins once again show their strong momentum to move up. Dogecoin rose more than 40 percent last several minutes, and I have a feeling like all other top altcoins will follow Dogecoin to rise considerably like this. 20 to 40 percent of rallies are possible for top altcoins.

Definately agreed your point, there are no timeline for the altcoin to have bull run, this time altcoins don't have follow bitcoin price rapid grow, but follow bitcoin price drop again. I've no idea why, but I'm sure that if the altcoin bull run happen it’s gonna be very different from the previous one, but it'll come when the time's right.

right. there is no specific time when alt starts the bull run. if you believe that time will come you should start investing from now on. and if you don't believe just forget it. I am someone who believes that time will come, and I believe alt will rise someday and start to catch up.

No one knows for sure when altcoins season will begin but I don't expect it soon ,not until bitcoin halving takes place in 2020 maybe altcoins will surge too,what people are not seeing is altcoins aren't surging but they aren't losing value either so that's a sign of hope ,they still respond to bitcoin movement

I am really surprised about the trend reversal, had expected altcoins to start showing huge pump like it was in 2017 as btc crossed $10,000 but very unlikely is the case as the market continues to show a very stunted growth, shows a lot of persons have shifted attention more to btc having got rekt by altcoins

I remember the Hydrogen Bull Run last year it really is one of the best bull run I've ever seen when whales want to transfer their crypto assets to the other low value tokens surely there will be a bull run and its always possible to have that on other Altcoins too. However this sudden increase has a lot of disadvantage especially if they only create it to get people attention to invest on their coins.

Those who depend on frequency are indeed in the direction of tomorrow, next week or next month, but the basic one is difficult to go forward, at the request of buying and selling coins.
 

That is the situation. All depends on the buying and selling movement. Therefore, there is no need to complain about the situation. One way in my opinion is that we must be active in the market.

all like a secret, no one ever knew about when and how the bull run happened.
no one knows for sure. some people only speculate.

I ever heard about the next bullrun will happen at the end of this year till 2020. But, personally, I also feel curious and not believe it at all for the prediction.
For altcoins, today is still part of the bear market heading to recovery market trend. The price of the market is very unstable and influenced so much by BTC. I can give you any idea when it will really happen to face bullrun for altcoins.

yeah...there is no timeline for the altcoins season to bull run.
Maybe it will happen when dominance of bitcoin is belong 40-50%, isn't it ?

If you look at history, altcoins tend to be correlated to Bitcoin's pricing. Many view Bitcoin's price as a general health indicator of the cryptocurrency markets. It is a great gauge of how much interest the general population has in cryptocurrency and blockchain at any period of time. During the 2017 bubble, Bitcoin dragged the prices of obscure altcoins up along with it. I predict that history may repeat itself, if we get another Bitcoin bull run.

I think the season of altcoins will come when we have more buyers of altcoins. The market is actually centered on the principle of demand and supply, once we have huge demand of altcoins the price will spike but for now 80% of the demand is on bitcoin that's the simple reason why altcoins are not really going up in price.

We can actually say that the time for the bull run may vary based on different factors and considerations. However, the unveiling of various events around us could make us to presume whether the time is now or not. Most times as btc begins to gain speed in the market, we can actually presume that the bull run of altcoins is very much around the corner as well. As regards the increase in the market price of btc in recent times, altcoins were as well seen to pick up in price level compare to the way some have been before. Therefore, one needs to watch out for the bull run of btc to really know when the bull run of altcoins will be.

This is true to most altcoins as their performance trend follows the bitcoin trend. However, others are not affected by the increase of bitcoin because one major reason is that, the project is already dying and no more traders are interested anymore. Bull run or not, if the project has strong foundation, they will gain their value thru time. As long as there is an active development and they are still offering services to the community, there is a chance that they will survive and follow the fate of bitcoin.

I think currently, investors only focus on bitcoin. Market cap of bitcoin is dominant, almost reach $200B and the alts is so low. I think we need more trigger to have a bull run for alts and for now it seems like none.

There is no timeline for the bull run of altcoins. But with my experience, when the price of BTC go down, the high chance that the price of ETH will increase, and the price of altcoins will increase too. Invest in altcoins and hold it until the end of this year

If this is the case, it is certainly easy for us to not be difficult to answer all the needs in this project, and it can be said that it will trigger other people to be more tempted to invest in this frequency.

I don't think so because the investor will also invest in the altcoin too because they believe the time for the altcoin to increase will comes and that means, they will going to make a big profit later. The bull run will happen later, and we believe that. But the problem is we don't know when the bull run will come, and we could only hope and pray that it will happen in this year. Maybe the altcoin cannot rise together but I am sure that some of the strong altcoins will show it's the power to reach the higher price.

Altcoins bull run will start when BTC decides that it is time. BTC has to stay stable and not make nay major moves so that people can start to have belief in the market, only then they will start to risk and altcoins will boom.

altcoin growth will always follow bitcoin.
bitcoin is very market binding, therefore the crypto market is not independent.
so, there is probably no high growth for altcoins in the near future.
but I think there are many options that we can do in daily trading.

All these rallies and bull runs are created and manipulated by the guys with big money. And all other fair reasons, predictions, news and famous people's talk about this is useless crap in fact. It will happen when they let it happen.

There is no way of knowing exactly when the altcoins bullish season will start. This can be tomorrow or next month. We can only guess about exactly when the bull season will begin. And according to these estimates, I make my investments and continue to wait.

The condition for altcoin to move faster is that Bitcoin needs to increase and stabilize. As I see in this adjustment, similar to when bitcoin reaches 13k, altcoin starts to glow. Of course, there will sometimes be an exception, XMR is altcoin having an impressive movement this week. it occupies a very significant concentration. Even, LTC is heading to August with LTC halving and I think next month will be a good cycle for altcoin to grow.

Yes you are right. No one knows when bullrun will happen. But  we need to be ready when bullrun comes so we need to invest and hold now the right amount of altcoin. All we know that all of are waiting for the bullrun becayse of good income that will bring on it to us but I think we don't have to have wait only rather we need to do some action to have a good income when bullrun came.

Of course trend is the greatest catalyst but the project you choosing need to have a super solid base community, active development and opportunity to shine among big players, technically i was learned to watch increasing volumes to determine accumulations as players does buy more time to time before the bull trend arrives, it might be months or years but its up to you to decide the best entry you can get it, and its best justified by yourself through appropriate knowledge around the market.

I agree. The altcoin price really depends on the frequency of buying and selling. That is, the role of investors is very large in the bull. So, can it be trusted with the altcoin price prediction?

I still have a lots of altcoins that are relatively new and don't have a big marketcap, I am still curious about what will happen in 2020, maybe until the price of bitcoin is relatively stable

nothing guarantees when a bull run will occur, because we don't know what news will come in the future. but when in the near term, of course we can see the signals when there will be a bull run. like marketcaps that start to grow much, that's when it's time for you to buy lots of altcoins

Altcoins have a better return on the investment, I prefer to invest in the small market cap altcoins. Discussion is not meaningless but it has no meaning to continue the counting different arguments in my opinion. Everyone has a different experience and understanding.

Soon bitcoin will be pumped to the maximum. And then the money will go to altcoins. But it won't be soon. While society wakes up altcoins will slowly raise their price and expect bullrun

As already said over and over times already that no one really can say precisely correct when the appointed time comes. Why because volatility has made this almost impossible to do. So we only wait and see how things unfolds.

yeah of course, you cannot predict any specific timeline for the next alt coin run, even the most "bitcoin experts" predicted the latest run on bitcoin several times before it has really happened... the only thing we can do for now is waiting and praying that our alts which we have are going to increase in the near future :-X

but I think that now you can start buying altcoins. in spite of the fact that we do not know when there will be a growth of altcoins, we need to be ready for it

Everybody really hopes about the bullrun of altcoins. BUt fo course, we may not only wait for it to earn the profits. So far, altcins are still recoverying. Although several days ago the BTC signed the bullrun, it dropped now and has a more stable price. I think that altcoin itself will ne more times to gro and near to bullrun. We cannot predict the exact time for this.

Though the current trend of altcoins is not good but I don't consider that to be at negative side. Maybe we could say that, this year isn't a perfect time for altcoins but of course, we can't still disclose any possibility that it will surprise us in the coming days.  
We are still in the 3rd quarter and could expect changes in the market flows.

Good time to buy you can not wait, so sometimes you need to buy without hesitation. Of course, the most important thing is not to buy a coin when it is at the peak of its value. In other cases, you need to look at the situation.

There is no specific date. I think that it is close, but when it will happen I don't know for sure, but I have some thoughts, probably within 1-2 month it will happen

I believe that altcoin will meet its own bullrun after the BTC is stable enough at a high price. However, for now, let them struggle with the recovery prices after the long period bear market. Personally, I don't think the bullrun will happen in the recent short time. Next year or next two year may exist. But of course, no prediction is trusted. Just follow the flow of the market chart today.

There is no timeline for any event in the crypto space, inasmuch as you make yourself available to take or invest in any desired coin, you can get your profit at the appointed time. Bull run will not happen at any exact Time prediction will not work.

Today I received signals and they said that TRX, XRP and IOTA. If you look at the graphs you will see that they can´t fall more, strong support line created so the only possible move is up.

I think possible in the near future for altcoins to have bull run. After this bitcoin being continuosly increasing price as well as ethereum coin, altcoins can be pulled by this two coins to increase in the near future.

More than half of the year, and altcoins in reality have not grown well. I meant they have not grown well in btc pairs. In contrast, altcoins rallied considerably in fiat/ USDT pairs. However, I hope and I also believe that altcoins will recover in their BTC pairs rest months of this year. It's hard to say when they start to rally, but we can hope they will do rally soon.

Cryptocurrency investors expect that the altcoins  to come to a particular time when it will just moon in a short period.
However, We had BTC upswing, presently it's the ideal opportunity for altcoins to sparkle. I figure we will see a little bull keep running in this second 50% of 2019. Altcoins dependably have an upswing directly after bitcoin, in cryptocurrencies cash streams from Bitcoin to altcoins and the other way around, it's happened ordinarily,

Last couple of year there was almost no new traders and even the existing traders were in very much confusion about the market situation. But now the cryptocurrency market is getting stable. So we can hope for the best in the upcoming few months of this year.

Altcoins are on demand, but not all is presently on the high demand side. Which means that the prices and volume of some are increasing. Since this I not on a general note, then it is no bull run for them.
Whatever time it will come up is not my main concern, but to have quality projects at hand, most especially those with coins that will have high value in years to come.
Product is very essential.

This is the time for you to learn and invest in altcoin before they are pumped by whales. Many people wait when altcoin is pumped to fomo as a result they have to buy at high prices and easily lose money.

It's useless to assume anything today. We can say for sure that the market is drawn by manipulators. And it is useless to make plans if you do not have impressive funds.

That's right mate, funds is very important nowadays in order to acquire a profitable returns, when you learn how to ride to trend of altcoins. There's always a profit if you knew exactly how to do the game of altcoins trading. Manipulation cannot be stopped, because the whales really contributed a lot on crypto price growth.

TRX has a FUD and the apps on TRX are mlm and ponzi. Many police came to TRX's workplaces, which is probably not a good news for the price of TRX

A bit later. Bitcoin should enter the flat trend. When the domination of Bitcoin begins to fall, and the Bitcoin itself is fixed at a position of 13 thousand dollars, then we can expect some progress, but not earlier.

I don't call crypto market as a stable one. It is much volatile than stock exchanges. Anyway, let's think differently that such high volatile market will help good investors and traders more easily to get profits from it. Yes, it is only right if they make good orders and decisions with their trading orders and investment decisions. Making wrong ones will lead to fastly loses of their funds

Do you think that after the bullish trend of Bitcoin, and now is the time for Altcoin to experience the same thing? We are all waiting for that time, but it seems that only bitcoin is able to make a surprise with a very significant increase. I hope that by the end of 2019 there will be a new season, namely an increase in prices for altcoins. Thank you.

how confident are you at the altcoin pump? I hope that happens, but seeing the dominance of bitcoin will make altcoin difficult to pump this year. if not this year then next year, and continue like that, predictions are baseless.

Prediction is like hoping that things will go there, but it's still unsure whether it will happen or not your duty is to call your position and wait til things favors you and bring good for your investment, never to relied with others opinions make your own and keep researching for much better outcome.

you're right. those people who are constantly looking for new coins that can bring a good profit - one day they find the treasure that will bring them huge profit. the main thing is never stop

That depends on the whales in the market and waiting for a big news to make the market explode. I think it will come soon

this current bull market is in its early infancy stage we will see crazy ATH prices for all of the coins. hold tightly your alts.. it is hard to predict the exact time for the alts bull run. i asked the same question to an analyst and she replied move your alts to exchanges and wait for the right moment to sell.. but i will wait for more indicators like reduction in the btc dominance

I don't see any whales participation to the market today just like they did last 2017 bull run.
I don't see any huge hypes these days which is the most common shows for whales. The market price will move in a perfect time which still in the puzzle when it possible to happen that is why waiting is only the key to catch them.

In bear matket, there is also a lot of altcoin growth. Not only wait until the bull runs, will the altcoin grow. What you need is to invest in the right altcoin and at the right time

All altcoin are showing a bottoming chart pattern, now is the best time to enter altcoins...my pick is HST decision token

Regarding altcoin today it is very difficult to predict something.  This complexity is aggravated from the moment when Bitcoin improved its price by almost 4 times first in 2019, but altcoin did not follow it.  apparently, indeed, society pays the most attention only to those coins that have the most prospects in the future.

It seems there are many people that want to see an altcoin season and I understand your reasons but I have the philosophy of taking advantage of the opportunity I have in front of me, and right now bitcoin is the coin in which you must be invested, if the altcoin season does not appear then you still got profits and if it does appear now you will have more bitcoin and fiat to take advantage of it, so do not worry too much about it, however if you are still holding altcoins and that is the main reason of your worries then that is your fault since by April it was clear we were in a bull run and you needed to sell your altcoins and hold bitcoin.

Then don't focus on altcoin, if you are holding, keep holding until they rise.
The best coin to trade now is only bitcoin, take notice and you will see how profitable it is in bullish times, 5 to 10% is easy doing day trading.

For long term holders, don't react on what is happening now and let bitcoin be more dominant until it will become stable as afterwards that's the time where altcoins season will begin.

It is difficult to predict when the timeline for the altcoin to have bull run because the trend now is for bitcoin to go up.
But I am sure that the altcoin will have time to get the next bull run especially if bitcoin price can go to the higher price and stay at that level.
Then that will be a time for an altcoin to increase and some of the strong altcoins like ethereum, litecoin, dash, monero, dogecoin, zec, and the other coins will have their time to reach the highest price.
We could only wait for the time for an altcoin to increase.

Altcoins may have to wait much longer as the leading altcoin is yet to make significant growth alongside bitcoin, my expectation was cut short as the eth bitcoin value dropped below its yearly all time low

Q2 2020. There, now we've said that we can guarantee it won't happen!

A bull run will need institutional investment either in BTC, ETH, etc. or in something directly related to crypto currencies. That would suggest directing capital away from traditional markets and into safe assets like gold. If you watch the news there's a lot coming, the formal institutionalisation of crypto, and by extension alt coins, is definitely coming.

We've seen huge announcements from the likes of JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, NYSE, Blackrock and of course BAKKT. The involvement of these groups in the space is a game changer. JP Morgan's blockchain-based Interbank Information Network (IIN) is set to allow settlements in Q3 2019. Futures trading in BAKKT is meant to be up in Q4 2019. Fidelity International are launching a crypto trading service Q3 2019. E*Trade Financial are 'getting ready' to provide trading on their platform (reported in May), if we've not seen it yet let's assume Q4 2019. TD Ameritrade have already beta tested BTC and LTC on their platform, so again, let's assume that goes live Q4 2019.

New regulation is on the way too. FATF will report and implementation is expected Q4 2019. Russia's DFA legislation should be passing any time now and will clarify crypto trading regulation, so expect it to be enforced by Q4 2019. These changes will have a big impact.

Why so much investment in blockchain / crypto? Partly because it's a new market where the big guns can make a ton of money, but also the general economic outlook. General sentiment is economic growth in the US, EU and UK will drop a few points in 2020. Crypt will give the institutional investors something to profit from and establish their presence and market dominance.

That said, a larger economic downturn is being muted as occurring in the next 12-24 months, i.e., earliest start would be end of Q2 2020. Is that why there's a rush to get up and running now? It's no secret that a downturn benefits the organisations that are well prepared. That means the above need to be operational by Q4 this year, trading like demons in 2020 to ride the storm while making profits. Hype from this will affect crypto markets and if a downturn is expected starting in late 2020, it will suppress traditional markets (except maybe precious metals which are being bought at record levels while US Debt is being dumped).

So who knows...

The CBF

I don't think we are ever going to see 2017 again, I'm all out of altcoin and have been all in BTC since the $6k mark.  So yeah this "altcoin bull season" is never coming because in 2017 95% of coins were shitcoins and they were pumped to hell regardless.  I know because I made a lot of money on them and dumped them all about 15% of off all time highs.  I have a list of about 5-10 coins that I made a ton on.  That will never happen again because people have wised up.

What may come is bull season for specific good coins with use cases but compared to 2017 there are going to be much fewer and you will need to be much better at selecting them.  Your best bet is to keep 75%+ in BTC then IF you are really smart, select a few other coins.  Having more than 50% of your portfolio in alts is just stupid.

I sold BTC at 16k, and got back in at 6k.  Even if I had not sold it i would have still held it because I honestly believed it was going back up.  If I held litecoin, XRP etc.. right now I'd be trading it for BTC immediately.  Even if it does go up it's never going to see the gains BTC has.  People are far too greedy.

The bull and bear run, depends on the buyers and sellers actions. When demand is higher than supply in the market, the price(s) appreciations tremendously but when supply is higher than demand the price(s) depreciates.  Continuous appreciation in price leads to bull run while continuous depreciation of price leads to bear run.

of course the rise and fall of the altcoin price depends on the supply and demand that occurs. we cannot predict exactly when altcoin can go up or down, because crypto is volatile where prices can change significantly from time to time without us noticing.

I decided to choose to invest Altcoins and TOP-100. I try to invest in coins whose capitalization does not exceed $ 150 million.

We should treat each altcoin individually, there are altcoins that will start a bull run once the platform is accepted by the community and the investors are moved to support the project, some altcoin shows bull run can happen even if the market is in red.

There is no specific time for bull run or bear market in the general cryptocurrency world. These altcoins your talk about do not majorly depend on the community but what really matters the most is what the token can be used for. That is what attracts the investors or buys to it. Although, that is made possible by their community.

The timeline is when Bitcoin started to show signs of going up or moving from bear trend to bull run, the majority of the altcoins depend on their bull run to Bitcoin's performance, we saw that and it was proven in the chart, Bitcoin's bull run is also altcoins' bull run.

I agree, there is no right method that can predict when the altcoin season will come. Everything depends on market conditions and investor confidence, if investor confidence improves, transactions in the market will increase and I think it will affect the altcoin price. In the current conditions, it's better to accumulate good altcoins at low prices

their growth based on the development update and they are not getting help from the bullrun. I meant the majority of people are wanna seeing the altcoin bullrun but you are taking the wrong example.
So many good altcoin right now that makes people being confused to choose which is the best one to be chosen by them.

I don't think of bulls now, because the situation is very bad in the decline that occurs. look at the market, and all assets are red. this will have an impact on the new project, and the altcoin will be very difficult to grow.

I agree with you, when people's interest has changed to altcoin maybe a bullrun will occur on altcoin.
what is clear is not always this will happen because there will be a phase where the altcoin will rise and continue to increase

OP is right about one thing and that is the fact that there is no timeline for bull run irrespective of the many speculations we might have, it will happen when it will happen.

I am agree, with current condition it is still difficult to expect the altseason coming soon. Market conditions are still uncertain and I think that by strengthening of bitcoin prices and the dominance of bitcoin in market rising, I think the altseason can take several months, hopely in Q4 we can see altseason

I agree, cryptocurrency investors are now focusing on bitcoin and this causes the price of bitcoin to rise by more than 300% from the beginning of the year. I think altcoin price will go up as long as the altcoin we hold is an altcoin with a good product. Better at the current bear market, we buy good altcoins at low prices

In my opinion, the time of bull run for the altcoins is very unpredictable but I think there is one thing for sure which is there is a right time for the bull run of altcoins so always be patient in waiting for it.

The cryptocurrency investors are holding altcoins in their portfolios, so they are waiting for altcoin season start. I think it will start this year, the prices of the many coins are very sweet.

Well, yes I agree. There's no really specific time for the bull run to happen. We all just need to be prepared on what's going to happen next. And for me, I'm just holding my altcoins until their price rises again.

Altcoins? Heh, I pray that at least sometime the ethereum will grow. I was very disappointed with this fall, I expected him to grow to $ 360 first. As you can see - I was wrong.

indeed we cannot know what is certain to happen. but predictions are important for this market. making trust stronger, it's good for long-term investments. bulls don't happen like seasonal, each year has its own trend. we have to follow market movements every day.

Maybe when you sell your bag  ;) I know that many peoples here still hold Altcoins, but BTC is in a bull run while their BTC balance keep decreasing.
The current market is difficult to predict, only when the BTC is stable and there is a new money flow coming into the market, It's when Altcoins can have bull run.

Alt coin will have a surge in its price soon, just wait for the Bitcoin’s price to completely stabilise since it is still recovering and has a abit of the way left to go. Right after that, we can accept the Alt’s price to go up and become better than it is now.

Well, we are still waiting for that bullish run for atl coins because things don't seem right with alt coins these days. They always get dumped when BTC is dumping meanwhile they don't follow suite whenever BTC is rising.

I think, it's not like that, the correct way is altcoin for bullrun if the bitcoin price is stable if the bitcoin price is stable everyone will buy the altcoin the right system to make altcoin bullrun

Maybe I did not understand what you are saying, but it is unlikely that someone will like the stable price for Bitcoin today.  In most of its users, cryptocurrency users are interested in Bitcoin due to the fact that its volatility will make it possible to earn big money, especially if you take into account the current price and the already high level of 20,000 dollars, which can come back before the end of this year.

Exactly, there is not specific time frame for the bullrun of altcoins, the same thing applies to Bitcoin, It could happen as I type and It could take several years to happen. But news and hype does have their own impact to help trigger it.

Absolute truth, there is actually no specific time for the bullrun because crypto market is difficult to predict. Therefore we just have to keep our fingers cross and patiently wait for the period of altcoins bullrun because I can't afford to sell all my altcoins for loss.

How do you like the news that the beta test of the BAKKT platform will start on Monday? Everyone was waiting for this, where are you now? I think this topic should be considered in detail.

Predictions is the tool  use  as a decision making basis  but it  seems that it is hard to predict, the important  techniques in cryptocurrency world is to hodl and wait.

The bull run will definitely arrive soon, a bull run occurs when the price of bitcoin reaches up to $ 20,000 so the altcoin will certainly follow it. altcoin still depends on the increase in bitcoin. there are always days that are surprising for cryptocurrency even in a matter of hours.

In cryptocurrency, nobody can give an exact time of what would happen, only predictions which might or might not come to pass. From experience, we have seen bitcoin rise and the drop of altcoins, so we expect the reversal . The bull run for Altcoin might come anytime soon.

No one knows when the bull will come but very optimistic about it as btc is taking control now for its own bull taking a gradual step .

I think btc down is what could make the alts season change for bull as everyone is in btc and watching very careful to maintain the lane for better one.

No, there is no specific timeline of the bull run for altcoins its totally depend on the selling and purchasing quantity of altcoins. but after the birth of Ieo's the price of altcoins rises because of IEO the belief of crypto users increases. https://tokensale.moozicore.com/

Have you checked the charts recently? The alts are not really going down. They are going up, but not as fast as Bitcoin. During the last three months, Ethereum has gone from $100 to $222 per coin, and Litecoin has gone from $30 per coin to $96 per coin. But it is true that Bitcoin has risen by a larger percentage. Now you can't say that the alts are going down, when they gave anywhere from 100% to 330% returns during the last three months. Some of the alts (such as LTC) has risen even more than that of BTC.

My interpretation is as follows: BTC corrected itself too hard during 2018, and as a result the current bull run took it to a fair valuation. On the other hand, even after the correction the alts were close to their fair valuation. As a result, their prices didn't moved up by much.

there won't be a bull coming anytime soon for altcoin.
I think we have watched the market always have the same pattern.
growth for altcoin will take a lot of time and that's not all altcoins. even I make sure there are a lot of shitcoin that will never grow back

I have observed that altcoin price movements have been promising lately, meaning that altcoin can be a worthy trade coin, especially by small investors because the price is still affordable.
There are even coins whose prices are still below USD 1 and that should not be underestimated because with a large nominal if the price rises 5% to 10% the profits will also be large. But you have to be careful, if there are coins that are very cheap and don't move long, it's better not to buy them. In crypto trading if there is a coin that has no buyer and that lasts a long time, then the coin can die automatically.

If after the bear market the tokens are actively traded today with more than $1M volume per day, that token will live long for the next bullrun. But I don't see it happening very soon. You'd have to check the chart of the tokens you are investing because for someone who will actually believe in you that altcoin bullrun is coming will try to buy any that is shilled in this thread.

At first, in 2019, Bitcoin increased almost 4 times, and also ethereum soared in price four times, but at the same time altcoin was not improved.  It makes me nervous, and so now I don’t see altcoin as a profitable investment.

But ethereum is an altcoin, you haven't seen on how much Litecoin made during the time of other alts increase. There are specific altcoins that didn't get much attention because they really can't attain to remain to the competition of the market and there's fewer volume for them.

I'm still at loss with my altcoins but I'm believing that it will be turning into profit soon.

You just hit the point, there is definitely no specific time frame for alt season to come. Moreover, altcoins will only experience uptrend generally when bitcoin moves sideways in price for sometime, hence altcoin holders just need patience.

As you said, ETH soared by 4X in 2019 so it means alts also made an improvement just that we were to much optimistic about how big altcoins are going to make it when the crypto market was to turn around in a positive direction. This did not happen in the way we all expected which has made it seem as if alts didn't make any movement at this time. ETH was around 80$ in december last year and now over 200$ which is good for some of us who bought around that price.

It is taking too much time for the whole market to assume a bull run even though when considering BTC, you might think it has gone higher to be in its bull run but that is not the case. I think we may have to wait a bit longer than we were all hoping for. In all, I will be expecting a surprise surge in price to happen.

I opened this threading hoping to see an actual timeline but I suppose I am disappointed. It is not surprising that all predictions about altcoins breaking out has been an epic fail, the market is just a function of demand and supply. Once people start buying altcoins more than those who are willing to let theirs go, altcoins will experience a boom but until then.

Altcoins and bitcoin usually move in opposite directions. Bitcoin rises, altcoins fall; and vice versa. There are very limited waves in which bitcoin and altcoins move upwards or downwards in same directions. Such waves are very rare. As I observed over few recent months, altcoins will make us surprise with their coming bull runs.

As we know that cryptocurrency market is volatile. It's really hard to predict a timeline for the altcoins to have bull run. When bitcoin price is stable then we can expect a bull run of altcoins.

Instead of hoping for a altcoin bullrun let's be more focused on rare well made projects that have real use case and the future will be fine for all of us,do your research and chose wisely

This is the truth, that in cryptocurrency activities there is no specific time, whether today or tomorrow...
This is a concept that we must remember to avoid losses. So I don't think it needs to be burdened with the rise and fall in the price of coins.

It is hard to think that BTC can be stable for a long time so that altcoin can raise prices. BTC is in a period of strong growth and volatility, But once the BTC can pass $ 20k, I think then altcoin will start to raise prices.

everyone put high hopes on the increase in coin prices, but that was difficult to predict. I am sure that everyone wants to repeat the sweet story in 2017, but with high hopes, the catastrophe comes the following year and clearly undermines some of the mentality of investors because they bear huge losses. well this year the market chart is moving again and people's confidence has been lifted again and I'm sure the 2017 sweet story will rise starting this year

Exactly, bull market has no timeline nobody was informed about last bull market, it came at due time analyst can just guess it's not certain the prediction will be correct at the long run.

There are many factors to talk about when the market will increase in value.  Certainly the Altcoin Pump event like the beginning of 2018 will not happen because the market has become smarter and pump groups and dumps may not exist anymore.  The problem is that we have a lot more Altcoin than at the beginning of 2018, almost twice as much.  It is difficult to bring them all up.  Only the best projects and large communities can bring the value of the project back to the fastest.

I strongly believe that altcoin season is around the corner. We need a strong BTC pump to start and after this BTC dominance should go down which will give space for altcoins to move forward. Event for this pump should be Bakkt exchange launching announcement.

I believe altcoin bull run will come soon just patience and wait until bitcoin sideaways , today bitcoin is still bearsih so altcoin will follow bitcoin.
but some altcoins have started to rise now like AION and ONT are starting to fight.

there is no fix timeline for altseason mate
the bull on altcoins can be happend anytime,
i hope soon we will see this altseasons show up in crypto market after this sideways

It’s really what you say. Crypto currency changes can occur at any time and occur very quickly. We cannot predict exactly when the altcoin will reach its peak price. All of these crypto currency games depend on active players in the crypto currency market. Besides that, the frequency of buying and selling on the market is indeed very decisive. The balance between demand and supply in crypto currencies is highly anticipated to stabilize the condition of the crypto currency.

I once heard some analyst say the altcoins will pick up once Bitcoin stabilizes. I haven't seen that happening for the past few days that bitcoin seems to be stable in price. That's why it's always said that there's no particular time for altcoins bull run. It comes when it wills. No one can predict that.

Frankly and straight to the point, for every altcoins there are two things involved

1. Is to maintain a good price during dip and bull season then continue to exists

2. Second is to maintain a good price before vanishing and getting delisted

Those 2 scenarios apart; an altcoin bull run is rare to predict

yes I also hope that the bull run will continue to provide bitcoin and altcoin prices to increase again, because seeing changes in the price of bitcoin and altcoin this year are also getting better with a pretty good price, so I think in a number of times the market price will also provide good value in the future .

You need to understand that bull and bear periods are cyclical, so tou can periodically buy low and sell high if you have enough patience. This strategy is effective in any market, is it bear or bull. But it's easier and faster to make ROI is bull market, but in bear market its still working well, but just a bt slower.

When panic happens, everybody starts selling, the price keeps dropping and dropping to the point where whales start buying again and the price increase again, people starting FOMO and everything.repeats
