Guys, as we are seeing, we are in a 10k USD range for some time, are you ok if we end this year with this price?

For me, I'm happy because we started the year in a very low price, and BTC reached 13k, falled to 10k and here we are, but the most importart for me it's the stability, it's good to hold the price for some time, without need to worry
I confess that 12k USD will be very, very good  ;D ;D ;D

With regard to the beginning of the year, $10 000 is great price, and I think it is the right price at this moment. The price is determined by the market, small people can not do anything to move the market up or down, we can only wait for big fish to start making moves.

Stability is good, though some will disagree with this, and they do not like times like this because there is not much opportunity to make a profit. Given that for a while price is very stable, the opinion is that very soon it must come to the point when the price will go up, or it will break down (some say under $9000).

It is my opinion that the price will increase after all, and I will give it 70% chance for that, but the volatility of BTC should never be neglected, so I give 30% chance to the possibility of price drop under $9000.

This is not trading advice.

Hell yes I'd be satisfied if bitcoin sticks to the $10k range for the rest of the year--while it's true that it isn't fun to watch btc being stuck in a range, I'd rather it stay where it's at than 1) crash, or 2) rise too fast.

As it stands, bitcoin is about halfway to its ATH right now and it's way higher than the last range it was stalled out at ($3500-$4K).  As I've said repeatedly, you have to keep things in perspective.  Everybody seems to want it to rocket to the moon as fast as it can, but that isn't healthy or sustainable.  I'd rather not see a repeat of the Mt. Gox bubble or the 2017 one, and yes, I think both would qualify as bubbles.

That's pretty precise odds you're giving.  You could be right, but who knows.  There isn't a lot of time left in 2019 and anything could happen.  I do tend to think the bull market hasn't burned itself out, though, and I doubt we're going to end the year below $9000.

If we would look at the history of the movement of Bitcoin we can say that it did go a long way and back then the price isn't that much great, and back then the price that I have stumble was on the $500 USD and right now if you would say if I am OK with the price right now, I have to experience the low price back then so right now I am pretty much OK with the way how Bitcoin is moving, If the rice had stopped in moving up I guess this is the distance we can take in right now so I have to accept any amount as long as the price is higher than back when we are in the bearish market.

It seems a bit good price if Bitcoin stays at $10,000 range within this year I don't have a problem with that, at least we could still enjoy the stable price for the whole year then by next year the halving start. Maybe we will finally gonna see the hype starting to rise each month or week before the halving occurs and I think 2020 is the year where we have to expect something big since this year is a bit skeptical.

Hmm. If we had never experienced the bull run before, we wouldn't have known how sweet it is and keep desiring for it, we have tasted the bull run and we have not stopped aspiring for another.but this time, it is what we have that we have to work with till it is over, but I am not satisfied with the $10,000.

Markets will be markets. I'm okay with any price. You have to be as a trader.

The more important question is, will the bull market be okay? The answer is yes. As long as the market remains above the 20-month EMA (just below $7,100) and preferably the June weekly pivot (in the $7,400s) then all this June-Sep action looks like a typical bull market correction. Going back up looks like a matter of time.

If I was ok that Bitcoin ended up 2018 in the 3,800 to 4,000$ level then I'll still be happy that we will end up more than double it's value by the end of 2019. Honestly I didn't expect Bitcoin to have this fast growth on a short time frame and the two scenarios we have on big jumps like this is we either fail and go down and trigger the bear market or have a higher consolidation stage which between the two I'll choose the latter as we won't be waiting for another break out reversal when we enter the bear market. But of course our real target right now is to try and re-test another resistance and by the looks of the market now BTC is still not over on trying to to go up above 11,000$ this year.

I am OK if Bitcoin falls to $6000 and I am OK if Bitcoin pumps to $14,000.

It's not really a big deal considering that every price movement right now is just a glimpse of what we will be going through in the forthcoming years. If you're really a long term believer of Bitcoin, you will love the opportunity of buying much lower than current levels. True bulls want to stack up as many satoshis as possible while the short term 'believers' cry over every semi large dump. ::)

When we're heading towards $100,000 people will think back at how stupid they were for not buying more at sub $10,000 levels. It happens all the time. Start stacking!

Fine with me. If you'd told me we'd be bored shitless at $10,000 around now 3 years ago I would've given you a big sloppy kiss. I'm more interested in the end of next year and the following one than this one. This period feels a bit no man's landish to me.

I don't know why should be disappointed nor not be happy if bitcoin price will end up at $10,000 price at the end of the year.

We came from a red market last year and that's the worst bearish market we have seen coming from $20,000 to $3,000. This year BTC price shows momentum at lower floors then slowly climb up and experienced several price swings to where it is now. This is just a start and soon this $10,000 is now the bottom.

If you are just happy because of the specific price, think again. For BTC price to achieve your high price target, it needs a strong foundation and not just rocketing directly to the moon.

Even when the price of bitcoin was around $3000 we're all OK with that and there were more discussions about the growth to cross $5000. Users kept buying, selling, spending with that price and the same is being done when the price is above $10000. This means the market is getting better and better with time, same as that people expectations were moving forward along with the rising adoption.

However users are clear with the plans of bitcoin reaching more than $15000 as halving is scheduled for the upcoming year. As a beginning to the halving there will be good growth by the end days of the year which might cross even the previous ath of bitcoin.

I'm not disappointed, but there are a lot of people who are waiting for ATH, or even more at the end of the year, days are coming, we are in mid of september and we are at 10k USD, and I don't see any movement towards 20k or more

Well if BTC ends in the $10k range, I think it would be a good thing since as  OP said we started at $3k range this year and having a price growth of more than 300% in a year is already a great achievement.  There is still this halving next year so having it at around $10k at the year ends means more room to grow on the halving next   year.


Well, let them be disappointed.  These people fueled by greed and have no sense of patience.  We can only speculate and wait for the next price movement and those people who are impatience reads more a lot of Bitcoin hyping news, they should lessen their time or best if they stop reading about Bitcoin hype news.  This way they will come back to reality, that Bitcoin price is not something that goes up overnight and stabilize.

I think, i will be ok. Because the question is ask about people's personal opinion. At least it is not dumped very hard in 2019 and if price keep stable i think i will be ok because it is multiply a lot times than i first join crypto world.

$10k for Bitcoin value is already a good achievement for this year that inspite of bearish market Bitcoin still manage to dominate the whole crypto market with this value. Even do this is not what we are really looking for the price of Bitcoin but still i'm very satisfied with the market movement which is better than see it falling.

I agree with you, although I believe that this time we will finish at $ 12K or more, this due to the start of BAKKT on September 23, which will bring new investors to the market, and will be with a different perspective than we have seen in the long From this story that takes 10 years, Bitcoin can be expected of a worldwide acceptance turnaround, just as they are doing now, worldwide news makes people know more and this attracts more participation, which if increases demand and supply decreases, the price increases and it will be very difficult for it to fall.

I think periods of stability like this have their role in long-term price formation. We are not see anything new these days, the only thing which is different today is the number of mined coins and coin price. Next big bull run will also very likely end with big correction, same as before for the same reason - people will take profits like always. Some people have an exit point at $30k, others at $50k or $100k.


That's just my personal opinion, everything in life can be displayed in some percentage. I am more convinced that we are moving towards a time where positive things will happen, which will result in a price increase. However, it is realistic to leave the possibility that something bad can happen (hack of big exchange, Trump go crazy and ban BTC in USA, or new economic crisis drag BTC down), so this 30% makes sense to me personally, although this is pure speculation only.

How comes you ask about this range? There are good news piling up, I expect it to rise much higher until the end of the year.

However, to answer you, for me personally the current levels are also more than OK.
Actually, even if it would fall to the levels from the start of this year, I trust Bitcoin enough to "know" it would recover.

Of course, why would we complain? We have seen the lowest price at $3200 last December 2018 and ending up at the $10k range would be great right?

But the thing is, we could end up more than $10k or suffered another dramatic spiral to $3k, so we really don't know what's going to happen at the end of the year. Better yet, not to expect something great so that we won't be disappointment.

i highly doubt that could happen. we are talking about price stability of bitcoin for a very long time considering this stable price state started a while ago and has been going on ever since then.
additionally since bitcoin is already on the rise for this year and we have the upcoming year which is THE rise year for bitcoin after all this downtime, i think reaching at least 50% higher than the current price to $15000 is a reasonable assumption.

$3k is a wet dream, your chances of waking up with two hot chicks in your bed is higher.

Yeah, 100% happy. Of course, anyone could be happier, for me I don't make it a secret that I consider myself belated to the game and always cheer for low prices since I earn in btc. 3k price? That was a dream that didn't last but already anything I earned then is 3x as valuable today.

Probably best case scenario is to dip again to 8k. Ending a year at 10k after earning a month or two in that dip would ve a nice Christmas.

Best case scenario is $1M by 2021 but that's me ....  ;)

yeah if we reach a good stability and stay at $10k price, it would be a very great opportunity for all the bitcoin accumulators for two reasons:
1, you can buy bitcoin at this cheap price before it shoots up.
2, the altcoins get their biggest pumps when bitcoin is stable and fall when it is rising or falling. so you could drastically increase your bitcoin stash if you are into shitcoin trading.


i wouldn't call that a "best case" really!
a small drop, sure. but to me a drop of that magnitude to $8k at this point that there is no more reason for it shows that the manipulation in bitcoin market is still very strong and can control the price from time to time.

I probably should explain that my best case scenario is purely fantasy, although attempting also not to sway too far away from what's realistic and possible (though I know those two are anything but the traits of Bitcoin!).

So my "rational fantasy" wants me to have 1 BTC to fully enjoy that 1 million dollars, so I still need BTC to stay as low as possible first ;) I know, I'm so selfish!

But I would be sad (really!) to see BTC at $1 mill and not be able to take advantage, right guys?

I am not okay with. As 2020 has been pumped up so much that I am afraid it may not be living up to the hype at the same time and I will be disappointing with it. Even if we reach to 15k or so people will want the all time high and work for it and if it doesn't come than they will start selling once again and we will fall again.

So, hyping up a whole year is a very dangerous situation, you can turn out to be right or you can turn out to be wrong, if you are right everything is great, if you are wrong than you will be let down and when that let down happens to thousands of people (even tens of thousands) it has a collective affect on the price. Yes the halving will happen, yes we are looking bullish, but none of that means it will go x2 or more in a year, it only means there is an upside to the price.

I am more than okay about it, I would be super happy about it, I have been literally waiting for bitcoin to get to 10k for a long time and ever since it did I have been super pumped about the potential of bitcoin.

People only look at the price of bitcoin at the current stage and never really look beyond that and how it can affect the future of bitcoin as well. Like having bitcoin at 10k right now means a lot better than having bitcoin at 4k right now for 2020. Not even like the current price and how we should trade right now or anything, look beyond today, the price we have right now shapes our whole future, and that is why I love bitcoin at 10k, I would love it if it was even higher but I am super happy that its not anything under like 3-4k it was just 6 months ago.

I don't think people will start to sell BTC if doen't hit ATH this year
The next big event is the halving next year, and I agree with you but only next year

Most people here in thread are saying they are ok with this price for this year

Anybody who has invested in bitcoin a while ago should be running profits.
These profits at $10k should be great. But could be greater  ;)

I'd be just fine with that. Holding near the $10k range would be much higher than holding $6k before we dropped off to the $3ks last year, and my average cost of entry is significantly lower than $10k, so I'm still comfortably in profit personally. I'd love if we happened to break out of the triangle we're currently in like (almost) everybody else here, and I do expect a significant response from this pattern, but I wouldn't be too disappointed if we happened to go sideways for the rest of the year (which I don't really think will happen).

Having that price ($10k) is really satisfying for me, it is big enough compared the price when we end up last year. It is already a profitable price if we bought Bitcoin during the bear season, it something that we doubled it already. I don't know there is a reason to complain about this price instead, we must be happy cause we even survive from the market struggles and we end up like this.

I agree with stability. No matter how much it's price i think if stable will be good. And like what people already know bitcoin halving is event that people's wait and they believe bitcoin price will be very positive in future.

(which I don't really think will happen)
I think I'm the only one who expects a sideway market for the end of the year, everyone is waiting for a pump or a dump, but I'm feeling we'll keep this price for some months, maybe a spike because bakkt

Not happy with that range of price. More good news pouring in such as Bakkt launching, Libra commencement, and other improvement on the altcoins will boost price of BTC, well if there will be a bullish bull season, everyone knew it will be btc that will lead the way. So I'm pretty sure this year that btc will be above 15k USD at least. Many investors from Wallstreet will join the league and probably more people outside this business will also enter the market.

That can be a good reason for the pump to happen aside from the expected halving next year, there's no accurate predictions since the volatility still have the big factors inside the market, people who's willing to wait and take the risk will keep holding and patiently waited for the good outcome to showed up, it's about how you manage to do your homework and continue to proceed with your anticipating view.

Majority of the users who are here in the market for a long time will not have any issue if the price of BTCitcoin is on a range around $10 k. The people who jumped into bitcoin when the price was rallying must be looking for a much bigger price, i personally never expected this sort of price range too soon and i am more than happy with the way the market is performing.

Wall street money is already there in bitcoin and if not you will not see a price like this in a short period in my opinion considering the market is less than 10 years old.

Of course I am and I would definitely want it to stay slowly into getting higher when it comes to volatility.

I think that is the safe place for bitcoin to avoid being dealt as a evil coin by so many people and the government.
From 6k to 10k is a 4k difference which is a large sum of money compared to how gold moves.
I bet many hodlers will also be happy about it.

Yes it would be great all I ever wanted for the BTC price before this year ends is to stay at the 5 digit zone.
So even if it would be flat $10K it would be great for me besides I think we all want a slow growth that would stay still rather than another fast paced growth that would end up falling deep down again.

At the end of 2018, the BTC price was about $4,000, so if this year the price fixes above $10,000, then this will be a good indicator that the BTC price did not go to $1,000-$1,500 as many opponents of Bitcoin predicted. For me, even the price of $10,000 is low, because I believe that Bitcoin has a growth potential of up to several hundred thousand dollars.

Above 20k USD?
For me, it's a very hard mark to beat in this year, I know when BTC starts to rise, no one can stop, but to reach 20k? ???
It's not an easy thing

I will continue to think positively about the price of bitcoin at the end of the year which will reach 15k USD in my opinion because the future bitcoin is increasingly showing growth.

If we finished in the $10K range then in my opinion it would be good for Bitcoin and Crypto in general. Since we spent most of 2018 in the $6K range.

However looking at the charts right now, there was massive selling earlier and looks like we might touch the $9500 support area, and hopefully it holds. If you guys look on Bitmex there was 1 candle on the 1 minute chart which showed over $114,000,000 in US volume which is a record if I recall. Hence there was some nasty selling going on.

Also add the fact that alts were rising. So people are getting out of BTC and heading into alt-coin it seems.

The good news explains the price now I think and anticipation of that news.    I think in simple way, if we already rose it becomes more difficult to continually repeat that rise.   I expect price to adjust for the unexpected and when its known we stay level or even sell some.
   Theres several waves and type of buyers, some will buy just before the next move down but I think the most reliable buy is when its closing out shorts who expected the opposite and on previously unexpected developments.

I bought Bitcoin this year at the price of $4,000  and keep on holding therefore if the price will end at $10,000 then so be it as i already earned much but i just keep on holding as i believe that Bitcoin price will still going to increase of up to $15,000 before this year end and if luckily will hit that mark then i will sell half of it immediately.

The answer to this kinda depends on where people really bought. I mean I could be happy because I bought at $4k but someone else could be sad because they bought at $13k peak times, so $10k all by itself doesn't make a general difference, it is all individual to people who bought bitcoin at different times. Of course, it is going to be great considering we started the year with 3.4k type of prices so no matter where you bought it is at least better than that which makes us all happy however that doesn't mean that we can't want more from bitcoin.

I think eventually this halving will affect the prices and we will see another increase, not that quickly I am sure but I am really waiting on December to be a bull month, maybe not $20k or more but at least $15k range should be done.

Doesn't matter. As long as those who make a profit at $10k then it's a good price. The problem I see is that people wanted more and still hoping that we can see a massive bull run similar to 2017. The whole landscape has changes.

Perhaps if individuals who bought at $10k or above, obviously they wanted to make a profit. But for those who purchase during $3k, is it already a profit, but I'm sure they wanted to maximise their profit and see $15k++.

Now, we have two type of people with about 3 answers to this question according to you. One is people who bought over 10k and they lost money so they are sad, that is an option and an obvious one at that so I can't say anything about it.

The second one is people who bought at 3k and profited, they could be very happy with what they made and that is a good thing because you made almost x4 at one point and now standing at around x3 profit, its good and nobody really can make x3 in 9 months normally so its a one life time thing for most of them.

Third and last is people who bought at 3k and wanted to make more profits, those are the most useless ones because you already made a profit, why would anyone care but they exist. So as you can see it still depends on where you bought since between these 3 options there is 2 different entry points.

nice question you got there @op but to answer your question yes i am just like you  .  i already contented about this price range we have right now and what i love is the stability like you also mention  . i think i am more confident to hold  my btc this way and earning small stable profits because btc do also increase in a smaller amounts sometimes and then it goes back again at his base which is 10k usd but we dont know to some if they will also prefer this price range but i think many are too assuming and will hope for more price increase  .

I totally agree that bitcoin price being 10k would be beneficial to everyone involved for now, even if you bought at 13k and sad that it went down you can actually be happy that it didn't fall any further down, at one point people were discussing about 7.2k possibility once again, not too long ago just couple weeks ago that seemed like the reason why bitcoin is not going up and won't until it closes the gap there which is why 10k is better for the people who bought at 13k since it doesn't involve any 7.2k into it. However of course everyone who has bitcoin would love to see it go above 20k once again, that would be dream come true but it would also take a long time as well. I personally want to see bitcoin go up soon because I have none left to buy more.

I would rather see Bitcoin to maintain its price rather than seeing it crumble down so it is fine for me if Bitcoin maintain its price range at around $10k at the end of the year.  Remember, it was around $3k range when the year started and growing at around 300% price in just a  year is a good thing IMO.  And it would be better if ever Bitcoin goes more than $10k before the end year.  Everyone likes BTC price to increase, right?

Even the prices weren't okay theres nothing we can do about it but to wait up on what would be the next possible move to happen with BTC.

Important thing here is that we do know how to utilize this movements for our benefits or gains.Go for shorts because even if we are on sideways movement
the volatility is always present.Take advantage on it and carefully making positions because its impossible not to get some movement gains.

I would be more then ok, because i am on the accumulation phase and hoping i can get back in before the parabolic rise.

The monthly average is at 10k and the 50 day average also mostly because yes we've been orbiting 10k for a long time.   Right now we are basically just stuck at 10k and barely leaving its confines for more then an hour, which is strange and unlike normal progress in BTC.
    So this is a bit like asking if Im ok with the TV floating mid air, sure if it still works and doesnt fall I dont mind but I'm also wondering why the TV would floating in the middle of the room for 3 months for no apparent reason.    That question of why is the price so decided on this particular point precisely when actually FIAT currencies vary in value anyway so this nominal price shouldnt be that important.     Thats not exactly ok, we are expecting a breakout and it seems like it will wait us out and move when we sleep.

haha, a funny comparison but a wrong one. in case of bitcoin it is not the first time to see this kind of "stuck" price and it not out of the ordinary. in fact it happens more than you may think. they usually show either accumulation or the undecidedness of the market participants. and are always the transitioning phase from one state to another. for example the $3k stability which lasted ~4 months was the accumulation phase with everyone being afraid and undecided where market got ready to launch towards $6000 in one month and $13k in 2 months.

Well, whats the least we can do? I would be fine as well, than seeing it crashing below 50%. On my edge, I still have some Bitcoin in my bag, I find it hard to accumulate more as the price is a bit higher for accumulation. But, as I've noticed the price wont stay the same longer than atleast the span of 6 months, It will eventually move may it be an uptrend or a downward direction. Also, looking at the speculation thread, a lot of people are giving good feedbacks from positive TA's and less of a FUD, so this may help for the price to close the gap near the ATH.

I don't really have any problem with bitcoin remaining at a price close to 10,000 dollars, I know that there are some investors out there that want to see bitcoin growing very fast because they are only thinking about the profits that they can get out of a movement like that, but that kind of growth is not really healthy for bitcoin and it will surely lead to another crash and as we have seen the consequences of such crash can last for years.

And I do not know about you but I do not want to go through that again, 2018 was by far the most difficult year when it came to holding my coins and while I did it, it was very difficult and many people did not make it so I'm fine with the stability that bitcoin is showing right now.

I don't know why should we bother to those people waiting for ATH at the end of the year.

I also don't understand why it's a big deal. And why should those people you are pointing be disappointed if $10,000 is the price at the end of the year?

Hoping for ATH target this year is too much to ask. Why expect that kind of rise this year? Let's wait patiently.

Let's stick with realistic thing first. If new ATH will come this year, then everybody happy. But expecting it will not help the process.

Sure I do remember and for the record I was holding for most of 2017 because I noticed earlier in the year it was with positive bias like this, I considered selling and could never justify it on risk vs rewards basis.   I wish I had been that clever/lucky this year but mostly I held later rather then sooner.   However I dont think this is 2017 in an exact same way, we did already have the rise from 3k to 13k and that was a great big rise and its lost that trend.    So waiting now could still go either way and various people believe it must break out upwards but my honest guess is it resolves downwards.  
   The only really important question here is duration of that direction, I've seen some speculate a break downwards before making new highs in not much time.   I guess I'll say down medium term but eventually upwards, I dont really rate this halvening event as some positive force even after it occurs but in perception sure it can encourage buyers.

Looks like bitcoin is having a rough time these days, I will kinda feel fine if it ends over 10k, not too much, like 10001 would be more than enough, so as long as its not where it is right now I will be happy, that is what bitcoin does to people, one day you want it to be 15k and one day you would be glad if it goes only to 10k, literally a mental issue for many of us here, we lost our train of thought while checking the prices.

However, in the end I am still doing fine, so I do not think that I will be super sad, my financials are not what it used to be and I have to be more careful from now on unfortunately but in the end that was the risk I took when I went full crypto, some days will be horrible and some days will be decent, I agreed to it and I will be glad whatever btc ends up in 2020.

We have to forget what it happens last 2017 cause it surely we can't bring the market just like that. What we have now is to find the word "satisfaction", the price is good enough and it is already far from the day we started this year. For me, this is already a big achievement for crypto and I believe a lot of people configuring it much better. We can't push the market to move high even we want it, this might be a market trick and better to accept the reality.

Hi guys, it's me again  ;D ;D ;D

And about now? I think everyone will be happy to end this year at 10k USD range  ;D

Seriously here, it looks that more than 10k it's impossible to reach in this condition, with all good news, bakkt, and the market went down

I guess everyone will be hoping now to end this year with a boost. Maybe bitcoin will touch 12K in my opinion by the end of 2019. Bitcoin was 10-12K on this month but suddenly a little decrease in the price affected a lot.

I believe bitcoin will hit more than 12K because when the price goes down everybody tries to buy more & then bitcoin starts it bull run. So, I am hoping bitcoin to touch more than 10K at the end of 2019.          

Buy the rumor, sell the news. ;)

I still sense a lot of hope in the air. Bitfinex longs are still not declining. Price action still looks weak. Based on my current EW count, we may get a bounce to $8,500 or so but ultimately the decline is not over yet.

Primary rule that ive been following ever since I do able to learn that line. Buy the rumor,sell the news. It might not be accurate or precise always but it is mainly effective on my side.

If you do follow this up most likely you wont really get behind or wont be too late for you either to get out or get in on the market. Decision making would be crucial in these times.

Yes exactly why I would be perfectly happy with 10k and so should everyone, be careful in not being grateful for just staying where we are and when people get silly over ambitious I see it as some weakness like a pot that over boils, it means lower can happen.     This current pull back fits my own estimation of some decline before the halvening next year, it wasnt ever that we would just keep rising for all that time because it would have been an incredible sequence.   Its kinda like expecting to flip a coin and get heads every time and a dozen times later it becomes less probable comparatively.
   Sell the news is a very strong recognizable dynamic, worth writing down no matter how simple it seems its practically carved into every market that involves people and speculation.   Markets are quite ironic, I dont count as very negative right now maybe if it pushes further.    I'm fine with a steady market, so long as we get progress on multiple fronts its still a positive year to year.

 I dont expect it until I see it in the price, it takes time probably.   Also I always consider the wider market and the expansion or contraction of main markets has a fairly large influence, weak dollar standards, low rates in Japan, Europe, USA and many countries has been a great benefactor for BTC progress imo.

I think Bitcoin will be higher than 10k .Not much higher but higher.Meanwhile Bitcoin has chance new year ATH
That dip to 8K is not much.we had already 1000 k green candles.That time will be back.It is possible that market will like to create kind of panic supported by news. I have been reading time ago when bitcoin was above 10k that miners did  agreement  to defend 6500 K .If that news  were true that they very well knew what can happen in future means now

With this recent dip, I think that the price of bitcoin may not grow higher than $10k dollar by the end of the year because we may be on this $8k trend through next month, and even if we will spike a little, we will spike to $9k by end of September which may linger on that price for a while as there will be battles between the bulls and the bears before there can be another breaking of barrier, which may eventually lead us to getting to the $10k, and if we end the year with $10k, I would not say that it is still bad because bitcoin has really tried this year when it comes to price increase, it may not have made a high move once, but when it comes to opportunity to make money, bitcoin has really giving majority of us the opportunity to do so with all these dip and recovery.

Ready or not, like or not, we need to accept the reality, and if bitcoin price ends in $10k at the end of 2019, then I will receive, and I will not have a problem. I am happy to see the price can back to $10k and stable in that range because that means, I can sell some bitcoin to get a nice amount of money. But it seems, it is difficult to see that price because this time, bitcoin still going down again but we can hope that it will over soon, and the price can start to moves and reach $9k and even $10k.

For stopping and became more stable at $10k at the end of this year? Well maybe some of us will not like it  especially with the traders since it's unprofitable for them to experience this, no movements  means no money for them but for the people who are into investments on other things maybe they will be happy since  they will not  get worried  to lose on volatility of the market.

2017 is already a History it may happen again but not this soon. Just think of those who have BTC when only few knows it and just mention in many hidden markets. Now those who hold it long after the 2017 hit might already stop trading  and living their life to the fullest now. It can happen to us if history repeats itself when new sets of people, whales access the crypto. In the mean time knowing there are still many who supports it, we must be simply contented that it's still increase when it experience small dumps.

I am sure every people will be gratefully to see the price can reach $10k, especially if the price can increase before the end of 2019. But we don't know yet, and we need to wait for that. It is difficult to predict something that we don't have a clue in anything because if we see bitcoin price moves, it doesn't show if, in the next hour, the price will go to increase or not. All we can do is trade with caution, never use big money if we are not sure, and always remember that the price can change anytime.

Of course, as long as bitcoin price is recovering steadily by the end of the year and next year it will be a good change in the market. People had been waiting for the market to recover and a little price recovery is really significant.

It will be great if it reaches near 15k, after a massive downfall last year it slowly started pumping and we saw some positive results in the third quarter but now we are once again experiencing a downfall which is really frustrating, I believe this is to scare panic sellers and big Whales want to make some twist by the end of the last quarter.

I don't think fall to $8K is any big deal at all. When we discuss the price speculation of something as dynamic as Bitcoin then instead of single number, we should always talk in array or range. It is very much evident from charts at the moment that Bitcoin will easily sail 2019 with the price range of $8-13K which is pretty good compared to last year fall.

Bitcoin price ending at $10K this year is not bad at all considering its price at the beginning of this year which was around $3K+ with the price revolving and ranging around $8K+ now shows and indicates a tremendous growth in the price of bitcoin this year, I believed the price stabilizes and pumps to $10K before the end of the year, Hodlers and buyers who bought at the beginning of year would make some profits now.

As you all know, we broke down from the triangle. The answer on your question depends on what will be the movement of the market in general.
If btc drops a bit more to level of 7500 and then recovers to 10k, it would be great and a sign if bullish momentum.

Well it's the start of the third quarter now and things are looking pretty well. We're running above 8k again and if this is sustained, i'm confident about the possibility of bitcoin ending in the 10k levels. And compared to how we ended up in 2018, 10k would more than an accomplishment for bitcoin. That could also pave the way for a stronger 2020 and who knows if we'll break 20k in '20. Lol no pun intended :D

Maybe prediction can be come from anyone. And it is good, that is proven if people have positive thing about bitcoin and future. Actually i can't see different about dream, hope or prediction. But i will believe too if bitcoin price can be really good at the end 2019 or maybe early year of 2020.

Yep, totally fine with it. I actually hope it goes even lower so I get the chance to accumulate even more for cheap.

I am here for the long, long term game and I think we will eventually see more ATHs. The more btc I have by then, the better :)

10 k can be very good at the end of 2019
 However I see some apocalyptic visions that Bitcoin will be back to 3000$
Please take under consideration that next wave after correction has to be equal to first wave
So more or less if first wave begin from 4000$  and 13.800 was like 3x or little more then if next bull wave begin from 8K than we can see 24000K or around .If now will be further drop to 7K then next wave up will bring us to 21K .After that  wave will be next correction and finally halving bull run
So all together i think we will be higher than 10K

Confident hope for 10k maybe vs the previous glum thought of only 10k.   Sounds like a slippery slope in aspirations that does not especially inspire confidence in me for prospects on that basis.   Better we sell off and hit some bottom pricing and rebuild and we're far more likely to then exceed 10k with that new momentum.   A slow appeasement and desperate hopes will at best put the people to sleep, a market that shakes out the weak holders is going to be stronger afterwards even while it has gone lower.

I am not a bit worried if Bitcoin will end up with $10,000 USD in 2019. I bought Bitcoin last February at $3,500 USD and sold when it reached $11,000 USD last June and bought again when price dipped at $9,500 last July and sold again when it hits $11,000 last August. My capital of $5,000 USD is now $18,000 because I made 214% profits from my Bitcoin that I bought last February and another 15% from the Bitcoin that I bought last July and sold August. What more can I ask? I bought again when It hit $8,100 a few days ago and if Bitcoin ended $10,000 USD, that's 23% profits.

Well, it gladly to see and hope that such correction will stay not longer any more. And thinking for $3k  this year is quite annoying and we can do nothing but to accept it. But it is relatively away from happening as we are still in the good market shape, Bitcoin price is still high and eventually moving back to $10k again. Will it hopes to have a good price ends this year.

The market of bitcoin is better than the starting months of the year. During the month of February and March speculations were completely negative stating that the price could fall off. Now the scenario is different, there is continued progress. Now for a short the price has fallen low to $10000. Even by the fall the market is resisting on the $8000 range making the price to stay strong and continue to move forward. Even if it ends by $10000 it is good considering the price of $3000.

Wow, you did a lot of money with some smart trades, I try to do some trades like you but my earnings are smaller than yours  ;D

If BTC ends with 10k USD you'll be in a good position

Day by day we are reaching the end of the year and 10k USD looks better than ever

I don't have big expectations about Bitcoin price rise and I don't have illusion that we might experience some bigger pump before the end of the year
I'm quite fine with 10000$ price because I think that is realistic reflection of current situation in the market. Also.I'm not buying Bitcoins but earning it so I'm not so stessed with price fluctuations.

Well it is better than being below $10K or back in $7K.
But I think it would be more than just 10K I think it wojld be around 12-15K,
After all we still have time and who knows if something would come up like FOMO for the next halving.

I'm a bit skeptical about FOMO or a pump because halving or a big event
Look Bakkt, people are waiting for a big pump and nothing happened, another example is Litecoin, there's no pump ou increase in price, again, nothing happened

I would be satisfied if bitcoin sticks to the $10k range for the rest of the year. I don't know why some holders complain about this price, bitcoin survived from the market struggles and end up like this. It's actually great. It is better to have slow growth that would stay stable than another pumped growth that will end up falling down again.

Actually, 10000$ to 12000$ is very great price for me but still I do not want to start with a new year with a low price of bitcoin. All of us will be happy if the price of bitcoin will stay at the price range of 10000$ to 12000$ and I know the price is very unpredictable that's why we are not sure if bitcoin will remain at that price. If we will see the bitcoin will go down below 9000$ expect that in the next year we might experience bearish market.

who are for not to accept that 5 digits value?there are only 5 months from end of December before the Halving so 10$k is very good enough to profit before rebuying again in the first quarter of 2020 since i am thinking that market will fall again before the great bull happen in second quarter

exactly what i was saying mate,instead of looking for higher endyear price but will end up failure or 10k$ but surely?

Absolutely yes, I think 10K usd range is enough for this year, I don't think that it would be more than that like around 15K usd anyway. Just like you I'd still prefer to hold my savings rather than to make a transaction. I'd only make a move if it'll hit $20K just like before or more because that would be a hella big return for me.

We have to accept it, $10k is big enough and have to consider it as a satisfying price at this time. Not actually we saw a huge pump which we could think that we may able to reach another PEAK this year. The market demand still at low and no strong resistance we may see that could help to extract market inclines. What makes important to see is that we never been back into $3k the same price as we started this year.

for long-term holders of bitcoin prices reach $ 10 thousand at the end of the year they will not feel worried, even some of them many expect market prices to reach the lowest point, in order to take advantage of the situation to add the investment assets they have. for them such a thing is a very precious moment awaited by long-term holders.

At least if $10k can survive I think it's better than the stagnant in the range of $7k-$8k because if it lasts for several weeks I'm also not sure that there will be a big pump in the last quarter. But at the moment the pump is happening and if such a pump continues with resistance that can be maintained I think by the end of the year we will be above $10k with better continuation the following year.
