Any body here now how to predict bitcoin price. Or is there a hint how when to buy and when to sell bit coins. Or how to make profits on buying and selling bitcoins.? I want to try buying and selling crypto currency.

Since no one can read the future then is impossible to predict the price, but a wise move is to follow the news, if news talks good about bitcoin it should go up, if talk bad it should go down, but not always is this way. If you want tome nice news sources i will leave a couple of links for you:

The fact is that nobody can really predict the movement and therefore the price of Bitcoin but you can determine when is the right to buy one if you understand its up and down cycle...and Bitcoin is known for this. Right now, when Bitcoin is down or below the $10K level then buying one can soon be a profitable because it seems to rise after that though slow at times. Now, this is just my humble observation and because I am not an expert I can also be wrong.

It was easier 2 years ago.big news were effect the market but its not the same anymore.this is the psyhcology side.about the TA most of the its up to whales.

There is no other way to know what the price of btc could be than doing yr TA to analysis on every time scheduled like 30m and see if its going to pump then buy and do ur Fibonacci chart to know probability of where it can go to before it pull back but currently the market has not really being following plan as every whales what to have profit in no time.

I can't beleive there are still people who think that Bitcoin price can be predicted. Since no one has cristall ball that isn't possible.
By using different analisys, past trends and experiences you can try to guess the direction where price might go. Exact values can't be predicted otherwise everyone would be rich by now.

Bitcoin/Crypto price is unpredictable, No one will ever be able accurately predict Bitcoin price! Some people use TA to buy and sell, You could learn that and make some profit/loss.

No one can predict where bitcoin moves because bitcoin will move by its way. But we can predict where bitcoin will move base on the history that we can see in the market. Although we can do that, it seems there is no way for us to know the right prediction for the price. Perhaps, we can draw a line on the chart in the market but still, that will not be something that will happen next. We need always to analyze the price before we want to buy or sell so we can get the biggest profit.

If someone says he/ she can predict Bitcoin price, he/ she is totally lying.

"The financial markets generally are unpredictable. So that one has to have different scenarios... The idea that you can actually predict what's going to happen contradicts my way of looking at the market."

The best time to buy Bitcoin has already gone 'and it was since the beginning of Bitcoin' yet you get a lot of chances to buy it lower. The best time to sell it is when you see your trade in green. You should not wait for something big but gain and grab what is already there because another moment, even that profit will get swiped off.


Don't do it till you understand complete risks behind these markets and if you do, you will lose only.

Volatility and volume peak at turning points - if we are quoting Soros that seems a good one to remember.   The troubling thing about Bitcoin is its volume is distributed across world, many time zones languages and currency exchanges.    Some people goto Bitfinex as its the largest exchange but its still quite uncertain.
  We can only really talk about probabilities, the easiest price data to follow might be the averages.    Try checking 50 day and 200 day average and their direction of movement for some indicator.

When we have some indication then you might have some kind of basis for prediction.   Learn Japanese candlesticks is the first thing, not that complicated its mostly just recognition or familiarity.

Heres a brief chart I was looking at, each bar is a price for that day and the last bar is today and still forming.    The others stay still as the day has passed but the blue line there is the 50 day average.    So we might presume to say with price crossing under 50 day, its looking more negative then previous.    
   The diagonal line near to 10,000 price is just a chalk line trying to extrapolate the previous highest prices over some months.    It could look negative right this moment but find this line to be support, it could rise from here.   Tricky thing is the rise could be quite brief as its hard to judge in the short term hence why I used daily bars.

There were guesses and predictions that didn't go well and note it that they came from notable people and said to be 'experts' about bitcoin and cryptocurrency market.

The only hint that you can follow the pattern of when to sell and when to buy is just by simply adding the rule of buying during low price and sell when you've got enough profit. The reality of prediction is most of them are just guesses with an analysis but there's no way to have an accurate prediction. Bitcoin's move is just unpredictable.

The best mathematical model we currently have for stock markets is as follows.

You wake up and walk to your desk.
On your desk are your wads of cash.
You grab all your wads of cash and leave the house.
If you see another investor you throw random amounts of cash at them.
They do the same to you and you pick up that cash.
After a day of walking around town you go home.
You put your wads of cash on the desk and go to sleep.

 ;D

I'm sorry, those who are telling you that they can predict the price of bitcoin are just pulling your legs and could probably wanted you to join a trading signal group and ask you to pay for their services. Of course there are technical analyst here, but it's not a guarantee to a success because the market is base on pure speculation. And everyone can make his/her "wild and educated guess".

no you can't make any predictions if you didn't make a research or technical analysis to be emphasize.  .because that's the only way how to get hint despite of the performance of bitcoin.  Just visit the chart history mate for more information or follow some sort of news site around the internet so that you can earn some clue how is the situation of growth rate and you can build your own strategy as well.

There's no magic formula here, and even if there was, would anyone reveal it publicly in front of everyone? Of course the answer is no, those who know some specific trading skills use them to profit from them. In trading market some win, other loss, and if you want to be on the winning side you need to learn some basics. What makes a trader successful is knowledge and experience, only in this way can it make a profit in the long run.

Whatever you do in life, it is important to try to understand it better, do not waste money without a clear goal and strategy.

If that happens then I am out. ;D
No one can predict it accurately. We are merely guessing here but with the use of history and some analysis.

Maybe you should look at it first (history) so that you wont look like a fool to some people here.
You know it is a cruel world and not all will answer you in a good way.

Try to read more. Here in the forums or outside.

Like I have said before all is in speculation only there is no exact prediction regarding the price of any cryptocurrency if there  is a few it will just be in a near price or just a coincidental analysis, I am putting analysis in the end because even though it is all in speculation there are some analysis study that people are looking in various charts and movement graphs on how the price may move.

If you are looking at buying bitcoin then you should buy it when we are in the midst of the bear market, but I guess it is not too late to buy right now because I am pretty sure we are just still starting with the Bull run and the price will surely pump high you just need patient in waiting.

Well that good days are gone now and today none of those TA’s can give accurate price movement instead almost all of the are misleading just to favor their target

The answer is NO

None of us can give you answer ,and all you need to do is research your own and invest your own.dont rely to most of the answer here because none of us will lose money if you fail but only You

Yiou make your best predictions based on what happened in the past.  Remember that certain patterns are never guaranteed so you should never go all in on any position.  Price movement also tends to correlate with the halvening block reward.

While it's true that you cannot accurately say what BTC price will be tomorrow, you can study the 30min chart,1-day chart, 1-week chart etc, to guess the next direction of BTC so that'll help you decide when it's best to sell BTC high and buy back at a lower price - it's called shorting BTC.

You should buy half year ago and spend it 2 years from now.  I predicted price of Bitcoin on how price was in past. Of course I could be totally wrong.

There were many predictors whose predictions reached nowhere but gained a lot of criticism after Bitcoins reached to its ATL of $3150. With some of the biggest traders included, those who said that Bitcoin will climb at least $50000 in 2018 after the surge during 2017-18 period were proven completely wrong on their decision to being bullish and they were all trolled hard after that. Belief is one thing but being practical needs maturity about the knowledge of anything you are trying to predict on.

In my opinion, trading on news is a bad method. It basically entails trading emotionally without a plan, without technical targets and risk thresholds.

Like you said, it often doesn't work either. That's because news isn't the driver of price; supply and demand is. In a bear market, good news never causes a reversal to bull market and vice versa.

Studying TA and learning to manage trading risk properly is the best way to beat this market. You need to have some talent and dedication to succeed though.

you do realize if there is anyone who is able to predict the price consistently he'd be one of the richest people in the world
one can only guestimate and the opinions on where will the price go even for the next week are usually numerous
should start to educate yourself on what tech analysis is ... and then forget whatever you read cause it has exactly 50% chance to be correct
i.e. it is either correct or it is not   ;D
if you really want to spend your precious time reading other "experts" , you can try this site here:
https://www.tradingview.com/
 at least people give reasoning to their predominantly incorrect predictions and throw technical terms around that you could pick up and become the same "expert" in no time

I second what extasie has to say on trading on news. Never ever base your trade from news coming out from any sources even the big news media ones as your prediction is as good as guessing. For one you don't even know what is the maginitude of the news is yet on how it will afffect the marker or if it will even affect it somehow in the first place. Not even the media sources know where it will gp that is why you will only see news about how they link certain news after the price movement already happened.

Trading on news is unreliable in my experience as things are often blown out of proportion or things are sometimes just completely misreported. You're going to be much better at trading learning and using TA instead of relying heavily or solely on news for your trades IMO, though you might also have some success trading using news.

As for TradingView, the site can be a good resource for learning some basics of trading, but you're going to be much better off finding real resources to understand TA and whatever exchange you plan on trading on rather than just looking at other peoples' analysis- you should be using your own TA as much as possible IMO. You'll never really learn if you're completely relying on somebody else's analysis, though it's you can learn and use some things from other traders.

Not actually we should have to stay for that long in order to know how to speculate Bitcoin price. We can do our speculation right now even we are new into crypto, what we only have to do is to read crypto history and events, there you could find ideas and tried to make our own.
Market prediction is not to be 100% accurate, not that cause prices often to move every minute, we only have a clue but not to the extent that it will make near to what we are predicted to happen.

I can confirm on general trading that following news is not often as profitable as it would seem it should be.    However there is an old phrase which usually works to give guidance on this issue, "Sell the news Buy the rumor".
   Often a trend starts before the news and ironically comes to an end with the actual announcement in news rather then rumor.

Experience will help alot to fit all these things together, the advise given is from other peoples perspective and then you have to slot what is told into your own actions and responses some of which will just be the emotional of losing or gaining value.    Having a gain can throw off good judgement and similarly a loss can be the market driving you to act rather then vice versa you are ahead of the wave and more likely to profit.  
   A further complication is there are a variety of styles of trading, some people really do just jump on the band wagon and hope to profit from plain speculation in this way.   So long as you sell before the top this is reasonable but it seems quite risky to me.  Others buy into value and in expectation of reversals in some areas and so on.   News would more relate to fundamentals and even so you need to be ahead in your expertise and judgement before the news is part of market moves.

I think basically you want to do trading but unfortunately there is no trick to predict what the price will be but you can study some strategies it will not be easy specially for starters you might lose your investment so I suggest to start on small amount.

The only hint as to trade in cryptocurrency is that you buy low and sell high, and if you look at most of the coins that we have in the market, this is the best time to buy them. Altcoin market has drastically dropped to the lowest now and we could say they have bottomed, this bottom is actually the best price for you to buy any altcoin, but when you buy altcoin, you should ensure that the coin you are buying has a real use case.

If you are going for bitcoin investment, know that there is no specific time that you can buy bitcoin other than now, the bitcoin uptrend has started already, and any price you buy now is still a very good one because bitcoin is believed that it would reach at least $15000 by the end of the year, which means you can make some extra $5000 for Christmas.

We're already at a stage where in some cases the actual event no longer forms the dumping day.

People are front running the news by selling way ahead, which leaves the rest of the market wondering why the price is going down so much beforehand. The same we have seen with Litecoin in the runup to the halving, where a lot of people just couldn't fathom how their perfect buy the rumor sell the news tactic made them lose money. The same could happen with Bitcoin with how well prepared people are for it.

What markets in general have taught me is that when the majority gets overly bullish/bearish or confident that x event will lead to a massive price move, it's time to think of taking a different approach and go against them.

There are some ways you can understand what the public opinion of bitcoins trends are and you can make some assumptions from that yourself? I mean bitcoin doesn't have some government branch that takes care of it so it can do whatever it wants depending on what people think and what people think will be what the price will be.

If people think price will go down they will sell which will result with price going down, its simple mathematics. That is why if you know what general public thinks you can almost always get right (except some unexpected situations) that is why I think reading the public is more important than reading the charts. Go around the forums and social media and everything and see how much attention bitcoin is getting, depending on the results you can actually make up your own mind.

If me i can't do technical analysis. 1 thing that i can do is predict bitcoin price from news that almost come, usually something like adoption or maybe if bitcoin will be sell by company or maybe something like it. Maybe if we can do technical analysis will be good. But until now i can't learn about it that is why i pick 1 best strategy to trading bitcoin. By follow any news that come.

Quick answer: Anyone can predict but no one knows if those will happen. Speculations after all.

Don't rely on those especially that you are new to this crypto thing.


Yes, there is a "hint". However, since no one knows what will happen later on, those hints will act as your reference whether to buy or to sell. Not an assurance that it will be successful but at least you are not doing random buys or sell at any price. If you encounter somewhere the term "Technical Analysis", that will lead you into knowing those hints.

This will be a long road for you. Don't try to buy or sell crypto if you don't know what you are doing. Learn the basics. Have a self-study while reading responses here since it's kind of spoonfeed if someone will teach and guide you personally along the way. There are lots of useful resources available throughout the web now. Don't rush and be serious if you really want to learn.

There might be no trick to predicting the price but there is to buying/selling.

If it is quiet and not much is happening buy.
If your grandma and coworkers talk bitcoin every day for a week GTFO! Or wait for the first dump and dump too...

 :P

Just do your own research, try to learn how to read Bitcoin trading chart, that way you can at least have a hint on when is the right time to enter and exit.  Aside from that, be vigilant about Bitcoin news and updates and learn how read the Bitcoin market emotions.  From that you have a bigger chance to gain profit from your trading.

Peter Schiff recently said that it's extremely bullish for gold that the average person and cab drivers are talking about it, because they're going to invite their friends and all that. Looking back, the price has gone down 5%. :D

I also remember that he in 2017 warned people about the bubble that was forming because the average person and cab drivers were talking about it, which according to him was a sign that the bubble was about to burst. The hypocrite.

Overall, the mass in most cases has always been a great indicator of how a market is valued, but the thing is that even when everyone is talking about a specific asset, it can still take many months before we start correcting.

I'll update this just to come with a prediction and its very short term.    The basic idea is to check repeats in the price, like the old number sequences you did in maths as a kid in early school.   Guess the next number, the graph basically is a form of that kind of game with of course more irregularity.

https://i.imgur.com/sktnQL2.png

So I've been a bit slow to post it but an hour ago I was looking at this and the idea is it can bounce from here.   I dont know by how much but its in line with the history on this very short term 4 hour bar candlestick chart.
   If we look on the chart, the reasoning is both the pattern repetition I mention above, we are on the lower pricing but while declining it can bounce.   Also there is a long term trend within reach below, this can also be a reason for it to react upwards some.   The tricky part is the price might meet the white line below, that daily trend goes back to June so has some weight.   Long term trends will supersede the short term variation.  
  The way I frame a pattern like this is a roadway and a kerb either side, we can meander from each side of the road to the other while also driving forwards and around a corner and downwards in this case.   Right now its reasonable to speculate some upward movement.
   Its a bit tricky, really you have to become accustomed to form an opinion yourself in the moment;  I did capture this chart an hour ago so it can be too late on hesitation to be in position.

I have been trading for over a decade and I will tell you right now that there is no system out there that is guaranteed to make you money. At least in the long term. I've seen all these robots that work well for 6 months and then one day they go bust.

The best way to make money is to follow the trend and try to hold your trade for as long as possible. Basically we are trading sideways right now and its hard to tell whether we go up or down. Wait for a break and then go take trades in that direction.

This is similiar to what people do in the stock markets since 2009, they usually long stocks and don't short them since the stock market is in a decade long bull market. Never go against the trend.

It is simple, you go to a fortune teller, you ask her/him about the future of bitcoin and invest accordingly. Joking aside there is no one in the world who would be capable of knowing what the price will be like, I mean I literally am saying NO ONE here because even if someone gets it right couple of times in a row, even if you are a whale who has enough money to rule the market, you will still be wrong some of the time and those people are very rare, they are not common neither.

So, I would suggest not try to predict the future but just look at charts and look at the possibilities, if you check what are the possible outcomes of our current stand for example you will limit most of the stuff, like we all know bitcoin won't be 25k when we wake up tomorrow, so when you eliminated all improbable stuff, only the probable stays.

This is the world that prediction kills every spectators so better not to look at those instead make your own analysis and researches

And please never try to ask something impossible to happen.

And always remember prediction doesn’t mean truth because Most of the time failure is what this bring to us

Trends can be found in the Observer Wall or in the news that you can read in your exchanges apps like blockfolio. Trading is not that easy if you are doing the scalping because you have to defer with the price movements of the market. And since prediction is just guessing, you might have to follow some trends in the news in order to predict the next move.

There is no crystal ball here and definitely we can't see it inside the crystal ball. We are in the volatility and we will just be totally speculating prices every day. If someone could see and tell the exact price that runs every day, it really gains respect and praise but nothing and not that because of Bitcoin price keeps moving and moving we're everyone just only guessing. 

If theres someone who do able to predict prices then anyone would really be rich on Bitcoin trading.  :)
Predicting is always been a question and been done by traders/investors after all these years and predicting precisely on how
it moves does only exist on dreams.Learn up to trade with this very unpredictable market and losses are inevitable.
Buying low and selling high sounds pretty basic but it isnt that easy to execute.

It seems like you have no knowledge about trading yet, maybe you will have to start knowing what is bitcoin and its volatility.
You will have to start from the basic so you will learn more and then you will start it in practice.

No one would tell you the right away to predict as even old traders are still having a hard time predicting the market.
I hope you will not fall on those people who promise they will give a premium call for you to follow, the best way is to self educate yourself.

im sure that no one here would claim that they can predict the price of bitcoin exactly but its possible to predict if bitcoin will drop or rise  .  you can do it if you will follow big people on social media like on twitter  , those people should be crypto enthusiast because they can provide updates of what they are doing . let say they post one day that they sell huge amount of btc's or if they buy  .  they can also share useful infos on whats happening on other crypto related platforms  .

You should know that in trading, you always need to buy a low price and sell high so you can make the profit.
No one can predict where bitcoin price will moves because bitcoin can move to any rate, so it is difficult to get the right signal.
But although we cannot predict the bitcoin price, we can always get bitcoin when the price is down, and I guess that will not be difficult if we can analyze the moves.
My advice is you don't need to use big money first because it is too risky, especially if you don't know how to get the right price.

if there is someone who can predict the exact price of bitcoin i dont think that he will share it to us.  Maybe you must keep updated  about what happening on crypto news to know what will be effect on bitcoin price.

Even if you buy right now that means you will have a great chance in years. Don't get me wrong bitcoin is not something that goes up in a straight line, people who have bought at 20 thousand dollars are still waiting to make a profit (or they have already sold) However in the long run you will be making money eventually, not gonna be easy and you will have to wait a lot to make that profit but eventually in 5-10 years there is no doubt you will be in profit if you ask me.

It is not gonna be easy and it will take a huge amount of time and there will be times where you will want to cash out and spend it on something else and even maybe emergency but if you can push through all of that then you have yourself a great retirement fund. You can either lose a bit now (or make a bit now) or be super rich when you retire, it is simple answer for me honestly.

Most of the member here could predict it. The real question will be the accuracy.
I doubt someone could really make it that accurate with exact numbers.
Technically they can speak quite well luring you into buying or selling at a price which they just guessed.
Careful with those kind of people. Better make the prediction yourself to avoid regrets.

The best method people use right now is charts, it doesn't show the unpredictable parts of the story but at least you can know what it suppose to do during the calmed down times. Like for example sometimes bitcoin goes up 10%+ and down 10%+ that means you can't possibly know those times, if you knew those times you would have become super rich and wouldn't be even here on the forum looking for answers.

However for the rest of the small ups and downs you could potential learn to read charts and if you are good at it than you could possibly maybe get to make couple percent profits, not a lot but a bit which would combined make a lot of money, 50 times of making 1% would mean 50% profit in one year, that is quite possible in bitcoin or crypto in general.

There are many experts about prediction but they aren’t accurate all the time. So, nobody knows the future of bitcoin or any othet crypto. But, We are free to predict so sometimes our prediction falls correct. There are no rules of predicting bitcoin price.

Another thing I want to add is, I have seen many telegram channel where they claim that they can predict bitcoin price accurately but that is absolutely fake.They just want more subscriber to earn. Don't give them chance to fool you.     

My advice is that it is very hard to predict the price.
There are many factors that you have to take into consideration before deciding if you will buy or sell.
If you are new to trading it is advisable not to trade huge amounts of money.
Try looking at charts and historical data... It is a way to predict the price... You can find past patterns which may show you what is going to happen next in the price of Bitcoin.

the infamous "grandma and coworkers" indicator! 
and a trader can make money regardless of the price , its the HODLers that are affected by a price dump
but in the long run bitcoin is going to be only stronger and ... pricier , so when coworkers start to talk about it might be a good  time to buy it instead   ;D

It may not be the coworkers and grandma indicator but there has been a saying in finances for the longest of times and got really famous with Warren Buffet as well which states "if everyone is scared, buy, if everyone is excited,
sell".

I may not be remembering the word by word correctly but basically it says if people are looking for profits than you should be selling since we are close to peak however if people are afraid that its gonna go down even further than you should be buying. This goes for crypto as well because people are always scared that bitcoin will have another bear run, if you see sentiment like that it means it will go up because people who are scared all will sell their coins and only buyers will be left, and if people are buying that means they will run out of money soon and you should sell.

I didn’t think that a little bit of desperation is bad, when you are desperate, it will ginger you to take the small profit unlike those who are usually not in a rush, or those who are too confident about their trade, when they see profit, they feel it is either too small or they feel they can do better and you see them losing everything.

I think that desperate person will be able to trade right and also will be able to protect his capital. But like you said, everything all relies on the level of understanding and the level of knowledge that has been built. Every trader needs a very sound learning about trading and once there is sound learning, they will be able to know the right time to buy and sell like part of what the op wanted in his post.

Predicting accurately the price of bitcoin is something that no one can ever do, no matter how smart, skillful or talented they may be as its high-volatility and unpredictability make it near-impossible to predict. Although that may be the case, there are certain factors as to how you can know the price of bitcoin.

One thing you have to consider are the external factors that affect bitcoin and its overall usage. This may include but not limited to: reading the news, reviewing the market trend, checking the latest data about cryptocurrencies in general, etc.

Again just to reiterate, if there was a method that can accurately predict the price of any cryptocurrency, then probably everyone would be rich by now. Determining its price requires skill, patience, and determination as you may make decisions that can either make or break your investments.

The sentimental trading is discovered to learn the trading patterns of the other market participants. I agree with your opinion, no matter how strong experience the trader has predictions are just personal guesses. Overcomplicated stuff must be analyzed carefully and after making the concrete trading plan applying the correct money management can be the first step in the crypto trading.

The precious trading is not the only concern of the Bitcoin traders, the volatile market traders also want to enter/exit the trading positions instead of the last-minute. External factors also affect the profitability of the traders but these factors are not going to change the market constantly, just minor changes will happen from my experience.

Today, I think that the price can drop below $10,000 for a short time, so it can be purchased for $9800-$9900. In this case, there is an opportunity to earn money, because the BTC price is now in the price range of $9800-$12000. If you manage to purchase BTC below $9900, then you will have to wait until it rises above $10500 and then sell. You may be able to complete this operation several times before the start of the BTC price increase above $12,000.

I am not agree with you, you must made wrong prediction because the price of bitcoin is increasing now because of more investments. It will be very good if you will review the price once again. Bitcoin has huge potential this miner pump and dump now has become part of market so no need to be worry just try to keep holding market will come to track again.... before any predictions visit market every day.

This can always be said to be true, if Dollar wasnt currently in a loose monetary standard there would be less dollars available to spend on anything and so prices fall for many things when this is true.     Thats most easily observable by the ongoing interest rate which is closer to zero over the last few years then its ever been long term before in history.   Its true all over the world, basically because we have so much debt repayable and in the near term would be make governments insolvent if rates were any higher so they set it low by force.      At some point its not likely to continue as money will lose too much value to inflation.
   Right this moment, USD wont beat BTC especially for liquidity reasons as BTC is a fixed supply and creates some demand by the need for transactions fees to use it.

This is something very difficult to do, there are many techniques that can bring you closer to a possible price scenario, some use the technical analysis, the fundamental one, the mixture of both, but what must be taken into account is that the market is often moved by people's emotions, also the Strong Hands or whales that are in charge of planning their movements and setting up some bullish or bearish traps for them to win.

The news can play a very important role, because given this many people react immediately they know why everything originated, although the Speculator and the Market Investor almost never review the news, you can talk about some kind of manipulation through them, since bad news represents for some to sell fast before it goes down and for others it represents the opportunity to buy cheap to continue in Hold.

I think that it would not be a question of predicting, because when predicting it is possible to be mistaken, because it is to be doing something of gambling, and the probabilities of success the Random that escapes much of technical foundations and of market study comes into play. In my case I don't get ahead making a prediction, I always expect a fundamental market movement to react and take a position in the market.

Market movement can be possibly predicted if you have the control of the most of the whole market in which i believe that the Big whales can do. They have huge financial resources that they can manipulate the market movement of when they would like to pump and dump a certain coin that you will become very lucky if you have connections with them.

but the real question is are there only one whale ? no  .they are lots of them and they are not in a cooperation or doing an agreement to pump or dump the market  . one whales think that they can control the market but the other whales are making a counter move because they dont want to see the market remain on that state .  there is no  really a secret on how to predict the bitcoin price or the price of other coins  , you just enjoy or un-enjoy thier flow while it last  .

Easiest way that i found maybe follow news. If there are positive rumours come, usually bitcoin price will up. Maybe time to stock when you can. But about bad news, usually it come suddenly, maybe stop loss is best way to prevent you lose too much in bitcoin trading. But it will be better if you can expert in technical analysis.

Already you got detailed explanation of how the price prediction works but if you want simple hint that I have is don't sell when you see sudden dump and don't buy when you see sudden bump which could save you from losses even it is not money making strategy.

Better read carefully what I said,don't sell when you see sudden dump which literally mean that the prices surely will rise again so don't get panic and go in losses on that conditions.

Clearly, it's a trap if you see such dump. On the other hand, people who do scalping will benefits from it but they shouldn't be too late to buy the short dip or else they will get caught with the bear trap. Bitcoin has been stable this past few weeks and we've seen such small efforts of trying to break a new resistance. It would be better if we just hodl and wait until the right time will come to sell.

You are making a very big mistake, when you are predicting bitcoin, never you rely on technical analysis alone, but also rely on fundamental analysis also, if you use fundamental analysis, you will find that there are some factors that will help boost the price of bitcoin in the coming days, and that would be the bakkt, it is expected that bakkt will have a very big impact on the price of bitcoin which after my own through analysis too, I agree that bakkt will really make some impact.

I don’t know from where you are picking your own FUDs from when virtually everyone believes that the bakkt that will be released on the 23rd is what will make a very big wave for bull run and we could actually get to see the bull run of bitcoin at the end of this year.

If you spend only your free time it was hard to earn so you can active all the time it will make good profit. Last year everyone drawback on Bitcoin investment so you also face some issues. But this year six months are make good growing in Bitcoin it will make enough profit, The current fluctuation is drawback of some investors. No one is predict the daily outcome but future outcome is good in Bitcoin.

The most accurate way you can predict is if you closely follow the funding rates for the bitcoin futures ( doesn't work for ETH futures however). Take a look at Bitmex funding stats,

https://www.bitmex.com/app/fundingHistory

If you plot this against the BTC price you will see that when the funding gets very large ( >0.20% ) for multiple 8 hour periods then a correction usually shortly follows. The issue is to be patient and try and catch the last time the funding rate is high and not get in too early since there were times when it could of went >20% against you.

So use this with basic technical analysis and it should prevent you from taking bad trades. Issue is that this funding rate rarely gets that large, only a few times a year.

My friend - if trading and predicting accurate BTC price would be so easy than everyone of us would be riding in their new ferrari. Crypto is too volatile in general and predicting price is almost impossible  ;)

It is virtually impossible to predict.

No difference between flipping a coin and hedging your bet or going with gut feeling.

In short, nope.  Crypto is probably the hardest market to predict.  People will show you chart after chart saying why it will go up or down, if they are right it's pure luck.  Crypto is very volatile.  I would just look long term and hold on and forget about the short term ups and downs.  You will be sure to lose money if you buy and sell based on daily emotions, good luck

it is hard to say . i can predict bitcoin price especially exact prices of every wave in chart btc / usd whatever duration
of  graphical columns 3 month or  12 month ...... or less then

some news can affect on the price directly like past year where bitcoin fall under 3500 from level 6000
can go with the same bearish or bullish trend , but don't try to find the exact price

The best method to predict the price of bitcoin is the fundamental news which has a better edge over technical analysis just as you rightly said the OP should stick to news in those sites and monitor news about bitcoin has it unfold thus make an appropriate analysis before taking the decision to sell buy bitcoin or sell however predicting the price is a mission impossible and can lead to streak of losses if the buyer did not make through research and take the necessary precautions.

Without some technique it is impossible to predict any movement in btc. But luckily the technique there is to know the direction of btc is Technical Analysis. But assuming that you are absolute newbie into trading. i would tell you a very simple technique. Learn about technical Analysis basics and chart and candlesticks. After that learn moving averages and types of moving averages. Then there is a simple moving average trick that is called the moviny average crossover in which one short term average bisects a long term average. For this purpose we use 50 and 200 day moving average and the crossovers are called golden crossover if the 50 day MA crosses 200 day from below and death crossover is when 200 day cuts 50 day from below. The golden crossover signifies bull market means time to buy while death crossover signifies bear market means time to sell. You can buy/sell accordingly to this strategy.

I follow what i have learned from Peter Brandt video
He has two MA to discover bitcoin trend.One is 14 MA second 114 MA. All that dump from 10000 K to current 8K was one day after bearish cross on daily.It works on daily weekly 4H charts as well
I am supporting my charting with Bolinger RSI Macd and Scholastic

You drawn your charts on trading view or investing.com for free and without limitation and observe how it works

Your question is too broad, there are tools that traders use to try to tell how the market is going to move during a certain period of time but no one can really predict with a 100% accuracy what the price is going to do during the next days or weeks, I recommend to you to read a few books about trading and investing before trying to obtain any kind of profits in this market, because if you don't do it I can assure you that the possibility that you earn money in this market are zero.

Watching videos alone can't help fully and neither do just learning the basics. If he truly wants to enter into trading, then he should set out a small amount of money he is ready to lose and try demo trading. With this, he will not waste much with the main fund.
What many traders fail to understand is that watching videos and learning strategies is nothing compared to practising.
And OP, as for predicting the right Bitcoin price, charts can help, but it's quite hard to get the exact price.

it is very hard to predict bitcoin price movements. although there are many different kinds of tutorials for predicting,
none of them are accurate, only guessing.
maybe you can estimate prices from market trends, generally if the market is Bullish prices will continue to pump.
Conversely, if the Bearish is generally the market will continue to weaken.

It's very hard since there are factors that influence the market, not to mention about big whales who can easily change the market trends. If you are able to catch them up and follow their leads. Between pump and dump, the benefits will be all yours. But only one thing is for sure, volatility is here to stay. And what you expect to happen might turn out the other way around. Just go with the flow and make sure to have risk management with your funds.

There is a hint to determine the right time to buy and sell bitcoins. That hint is always bought at a low price, and sell when the price is at a high price. Nothing more. You should know that there is no right time to buy bitcoin unless from those two things that I mention. But how we can know the price reach a low price? We will know if there is a big red candle that appears at the market, and that is your time to decide to buy or wait for more.

The other hint might be when the chart is giving a sign to go down, that will need more attention from us so we can analyze if the price will be down or not. We can place an order buy at a lower price because sometimes the price will go slightly down deeper than we can think. But yes, it is not easy to determine the low price, and only with experience, you will know.

Many ways to predict the current price of bitcoin or altcoin. however, everything is only guessing through the past, or the information that is there. this is the way I do it

• Look at the chart, and estimate the price that will occur
• See information in the future, which might make the price of a pump (such as halving, large companies holding crypto, etc.)
• Follow the trend
• Read articles about daily analysis on crypto websites such as bitcoin news, cointelegraph, and others.

That's my way to determine the price of bitcoin in the future.

Yes but right now we cannot depend on speculations as there are big whales who can turn the tide around within hours as we have witnessed in the past wherein they have pumped up the price and when the value had reached it's peak they just dump it which affects us it's will be smart to act according to the situation by going with our instincts whenever there is a fluctuations. We cannot expect stability that's for sure and we have to acceptthis factm

Everybody can make their own prediction about the price of bitcoin and even the experts have their own prediction where everybody believes in it but for me, I also believe wanna know why? simply because they are here for a long time so basically they know-how will be the movement of the price and they can easily read the chart in the market. But, one of the predictions that I have seen is the bitcoin might reach the price of 50000$ or it might surpass that price.

A crystal ball that actually worked would be a good start  ;D

Learn technical analysis really help traders from simple things until complicated things. Like to predict bitcoin price, if we know about technical analysis it will be really help us to know to where bitcoin price will be. At least if wrong, we know how to fix it.

If don't know about technical analysis, maybe people will look information in forum like this. Collect prediction from people and then make my strategy from it. That is why i very agree with people should learn technical analysis.

Frankly, there's no way you can predict bitcoin and if it possible then probably we are all rich now. If you were in the year of 2009 and you anticipate how much price it would become then it would be really good however, it wasn't impossible to learn to have a speculation. Learn how to be versatile because market is dynamic.

While nothing can replace actual experience I really think that paper trading plays a very important role since it allows you to see if your strategy works or not long term in the markets and it allows you to know what you would do under many different circumstances, this information is incredibly valuable and it is something that not many people do, after all how people expect to figure out what they need to do in real time with the extreme pressure of trying to take the right decision when they have never done that during their training.

We all know that no one can predict the bitcoin price if you are the one holder bitcoin you must have patience to wait the right time you can sell your bitcoin. And wait again the right to buy a bitcoin if the price goes down. So no one here can predicted it sir.

Well, the part where you stated that some of these price perdiction where mere guessing is somewhat true. Many just kept raising price of bitcoin that meets their personal price perdiction.
Funny enough, this is the same method some self proclaimed Bitcoin are using.

We have many people that has predicted the price of bitcoin in the past, and recently too, there is this guy on this forum that I ever regret not listening to because I am one of these people that believes you should never listen to people’s opinion, and because of that I totally ignored him when the price of bitcoin was just climbing above $13k, he actually predicted that the market will fall back to $10k, and really, the price was perfectly accurate and around the time he speculated it.

This could not have been a coincidence, the price was perfectly predicted, but what I agree with is that few are these people that know how to actually predict bitcoin, and many people that do predict are just predicting out of instinct and not with fact or analysis.

The first thing that the OP my need to grab and stick to his brain is just to learn deeply how to make use of analysis because that is the only way that bitcoin price can be predicted accurately and once one can easily predict the movement of bitcoin, then trading should not really be a very big problem for such person, the only thing that is needed is just to learn some basics of trading and know how to apply trading rule.

No matter the tutorial we watch, if we don’t know how to make use of analysis, then we better just be an holder and not a trader, at least by holding, we just know that our responsibility is to listen to news, watch the market for an increase price and then sell, but for trading, there is no trading without the use of analysis such as technical and fundamentals.

It could have been a coincidence, how many price predictions do you think are made every day on the Internet about the possible trajectory of the price of bitcoin? It is impossible to know but even a number as low as 34000 predictions per day means that each month there will be one million predictions, when you have such a huge number it is reasonable to expect that some people will guess the correct price of bitcoin, this is similar to what happens with lotteries in which there is a low chance of winning but someone will have to eventually win it.

Those who are making those predictions are just doing more of intuition prediction, which is why they usually do not back it up with facts when they make the prediction, no picture or analysis to back their values up.  The volatility of bitcoin really makes it very difficult to predict the price of bitcoin.

I have seen where people predict that bitcoin will be in uptrend in a short period and then, we see the down trend as response. Someone recently just predicted that the value of bitcoin will reach $16000 by the middle of this month, this is middle already here and the price has not even reached $10k, not to talk of $16k, and the so-called speculator claim to be a guru with analysis. The best way to predict bitcoin is just to know that the value will increase and have a goal for it.

There are 2 analysis to predict bitcoin or other financial asset, technical and fundamental analysis
you can learn technical by indicator, support, resistance, candlestick, etc. i recommend this site stock charts (http://stockcharts.com), INVESTOPEDIA ACADEMY (https://academy.investopedia.com/), Udemy’s Technical Analysis Courses (https://www.udemy.com/)

or buy some books, the following book i recommend:
1. Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications by John J. Murphy
2. Market Wizards, Updated: Interviews with Top Traders by Jack D. Schwager
3. Way of the Turtle: The Secret Methods that Turned Ordinary People into Legendary Traders by Curtis Faith

fundamental is about basic bitcoin, news, adoption, etc. you can learn basic by reading book, the following book i recommend:
1. Mastering bitcoin
2. Bitcoin from beginner to expert
3. The little bitcoin book

Seriously... Books?
In no doubt those books sounds interesting to read but I just feel that one can't get all the information about Bitcoin price prediction from it but instead add or spark up more information about Bitcoin generally.
Reading is good.. Yes but crypto price prediction is something that has to be more practical.

First of all, there is no certain or assurance method to predict Bitcoin price since it relies on the law of supply and demand. However, analyzing its chart with the help of indicators and other tools can help you determining its price movement yet you shouldn't be too confident using that since its future price might satisfy or meet your analysis thus you will have to apply the risk management.

So, what's wrong with books dude?

remember, bitcoin isnt JUST about prediction, we must learn basic fundamental of bitcoin.
if we understand enough, then we can learn more price prediction. remember that there is no one source that can get all the information. the information is separate, that's why we must read more.

teoritical and practical are important, we must be balance to get good knowledge. there is no better than another

From the very beginning, there's no accurate on the prediction of bitcoin price. I agree having technical analysis could help to determine the indicators, it would rather give help. But above all, studying the market is necessary and let's should not rely on others. Also always know the risks in crypto that prices are volatile.

Predictions by the experts are always missed. There is no one to guess the actual bitcoin price, it's true that you mean I would rather analyze myself about the price of bitcoin and see from the graph I never rely on anyone else because it's far from reality better what I do it true if missing is not a problem for me.

If you are trading with other people predicting then you will not go further, make your own analysis and come to a conclusion rather than trusting a third person and that is the case with every financial market. I do not trade with technical analysis alone i just monitor the market trend and make my own decisions when i am in the mood to trade in the short period.

First time I have come across such upfront answer about so called baseless predictions as it never hits anywhere near the bulls eye and misses it by miles. But it's time we start our own research with the news which might affect the value of bitcoin and then plan accordingly, we cannot entirely blame the experts for their prediction as the market is unpredictable and they are trying to help us by trying to predict whatever they can on basis of their knowledge which used to work in the past.

I wish I can predict the Bitcoin and crypto prices so that I will never get rekt again. Of course its totally impossible that we can predict Bitcoin prices because if that happens no more losers and everybody is a winner in their trades. We need to understand the nature of the market its the battle between buyers and sellers, but only you can take advantage if you have better analysis. 

The books are pretty much there for teaching you the basics of trading and maybe some trading psychology. However they will never teach you how to trade.

About a decade ago I read probably about dozens of these books and they are all the same. Talking about basics like what is going long, going short, different candle stick patterns, what is a doji, etc, etc.

However they can teach easy methods like buy on support or sell on resistance but that is pretty much it. The more involved books like Elliot Wave theory are even more confusing and unreliable.

Its there to get you started but you need to go 90% of the way yourself. Find what type of trader you are and take it front there. Keep in mind that 95% of traders lose money.

I recently read an article that says that seeing network activity helps predict the price of Bitcoin, it is curious and, at the same time, it is a method I did not know, it has to do with the correlation of Bitcoin Hashrate with the price of bitcoin Of course, it is accompanied by the Hauge method, which is: What is the fundamental value of Bitcoin? Let’s enrich Hans Hauge’s approach, consulcesi.tech (https://www.consulcesi.tech/what-is-the-fundamental-value-of-bitcoin-lets-enrich-hans-hauges-approach/), although the method seems to be something logical, it is invalidated when the bullish trend phase is presented.

Here to review: WATCHING NETWORK ACTIVITY CAN HELP PREDICT BITCOIN PRICE, bitcoinist.com (https://bitcoinist.com/watching-network-activity-can-help-predict-bitcoin-btc-price/)

I think you can improve or complement the method with some feelings caused by news, some regulations, emotions, so that the prediction has more arguments.

Actually, there are no such people who can predict bitcoin's price because they are just trusting their guts and instinct on when bitcoin will increase or decrease it's price. Buying and selling bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is not that difficult, you can buy and sell bitcoin in trading platforms and for you to know more you can watch video tutorials on how you will learn to trade.

You ask two different questions, the first one about how to predict the price of bitcoin has a very simple answer, no one can predict what bitcoin will do, this may seem disappointing but it should not be, after all there are many things that we cannot predict and we do not really care about them, but your second question is the most important one, is there a way to make profits buying and selling your bitcoins and the answer to that is yes and many traders are doing exactly that at this moment, but very few will share how they do it with you so you need to figure out that by yourself.
