When the value of cryptos falls, many traders double down – effectively strengthening their commitment to a course of action that is potentially risky – because the prices are so low. As with the pattern demonstrated from this short market tale, here's to how you can capture a price swing or “one large move.” By this we can conclude that we need to be careful on our alt trades and need to be sure on accumulations backed by TA and FA studies. Where are we heading is the moment of truth from this article! https://medium.com/mark-price/the-chop-c55567cb7d26

That means if the market is not having strong fundamentals as the low price gives the more chance to get the dipped or pumped anytime.
FA and TA are a must when it comes to trade on the short term speculation market. The current chart of crypto doesn't show the long term chart but there will be a lot of price swing in the future as more and more people just take crypto as an option to do short term trade.
It caused by the fundamental of crypto is not strong enough to support the market. No need to say about TA as it depends on FA.

These worries make sense, because the graph does not indicate a big increase and if trading at this time is not a good decision. but it's not wrong either, because in a down market and almost all altcoins are cheap, this is a great opportunity to get a lot of assets and get profit. Litecoin for example, where Litecoin managed to prove a few percent increase in the last week and that is one of the reasons why staying safe playing in trading can still be utilized.

Really this article is helpful? I don’t think so.aetcile writer wrote this article like paragraph,not explained the main subject.I think this article not going to help me.Hope rest of guys will agree if they read the article.
Also I think trading need experience, only from reading article you are not going to be a pro trader.Better to try own and and learn from your mistake.I did that in my trading strategy.         

When the altcoin price moves in the direction of a fall in prices, as a trader must indeed be prepared to buy at the bottom price by multiplying from the first purchase slot. But it is necessary to be careful and be sure to buy at a deep price. TA analysis is really needed to calculate everything.
do not get stuck at prices that are too high.

Buying the dip is a very popular strategy among many of the members of the forum but you have brought to light the greatest issue with that strategy, everyone always say to buy the dip and get your coins at the bottom, but you have no way to know what will be the bottom.

Just look at what happened after 2017, during 2018 we had a time in which the price of bitcoin remained relatively stable two times and everyone thought that was the bottom and then the price kept going down, so most likely those that bought bitcoin at those two instances lost money and most likely they never recovered that money.

It is true that traders need to buy the bottom price
But a true trader never jumps on any cheap token dumping. You need to ascertain the type of token to buy its dip.

Some tokens get delisted and die after reaching the bottom

Dyor always

Ya the correlation of prices between BTC and alts i think is one of the many things traders learn quickly in crypto
the new traders maybe havent seen enough swings to see how it works and to capitalize on it like the vets, but they learn (or burn quickly hehe)
of course it dosent mean its a guarantee they follow eachother either, thats why TA is so shakey in crypto imo, way too unpredictable : /

I'm not sure when altcoin drops down and as traders need to be ready to buy at low prices sometimes it's a trap and altcoin prices never come back again, it's true that technical analysis is needed right in altcoin because it's hard to say that altcoin can't be expected so be more careful if you buy altcoin in my trade.

when you see the price movements of bitcoin and altcoin are very slow then you have to be calm because this has become a very reasonable movement when market conditions are quiet, but the price movement can be very fast when the demand and interaction between buyers and sellers at the exchange place increases then the movement the price will be fast.

prices also decreased by 90% or even 100%. I also got stuck on several coins and found it difficult to recover.
Many people do consider 2018 as the lowest price, but in 2019 there will be more and more decline. but who knows what will happen in 2020, maybe there will be a significant increase.

I don't think that a lot of traders actually double down, which is the rational thing to do if you believe in bitcoin's long term fundamentals and you see prices falling.

Instead, the wider markets, especially mainstream investors are more likely to panic dump in the face of a potential downturn in the market, which fuels the bear market even further, causing flash crashes as a result of long squeezes along with excess supply.

That's the reason why I tell people to dollar cost average in bear markets. Going against the crowd in these circumstances can certainly pay off.

Today I read the news that the price of bitcoin rose to 29,000 dollars in Iran. But I think how so, if the price in Iran has grown, it means that everywhere it must jump, or am I wrong?

You are not mistaken, because you read the news that has been posted, and that is just a prediction for this year, if indeed it can happen it will be very extraordinary, and the development of this forum will also increase.

TA depends on FA? I don't think so. In this crypto market there is no concept of FA. because organizations have never provided financial information to investors or us. In fact, coins are only created by an organization, it's not really a business. You will have to be surprised with this. Therefore, I still choose TA as a leader in trading in the crypto market.

after I read the articel there are two characters, the first is fear because he has no preparation to minimize losses then the second is to tighten stop losses in the sense that he minimizes losses that will occur, the point is that the movement remains alert

You are right, We need to be careful of what we invest now and what crypto are we wanted to invest our assets. Once you decide its hard to change the decision because for example if we bought coins and you seen that the price falls you will panicked but be calm always and don't be greedy. We just need a little more trust to coins what we chose.

Price movement is kinda difficult to follow right now especially that the market is like a bear all the time and the price is like going downward and the upward swing is very little.

Altcoins price movement is not that good compare to bitcoin price movement due to favoritism of big investors as they focus on bitcoin and they almost forget over other currencies like Ethereum that is going down to almost at it's bottom.

We know that the bitcoin market and altcoin market is different and the market price doesn't really vice versa in bitcoin and altcoin since there are a lot of delays in the market and a lot of speculation,
The market of bitcoin and alternative token could go down at the same time and even pump at the same time since there are so many issues in the cryptocurrency community. It was probably vice versa but with a lot of delays probably the spike in the market price of altcoins in the cause by the dump of bitcoin in the past month.

many people are trapped in that mindset. when prices continue to fall they say if at the end of the year prices will rise again, but the opposite is true. mindset like this that makes people experience more losses, they should not believe in the news that says bitcoin will reach xxx prices at the end of the year.

to avoid being influenced by news like that we have to read two sides of trading techniques namely fundamentals and technicalities combined it will be an accurate prediction in our trading

The main problem is that we cannot know when the lowest price is and when the highest price. Some people claim to buy bitcoin when it drops to $ 6000, but when the price of bitcoin drops to $ 6000 they continue to wait for the price to drop lower.
The majority of ICO tokens will die, people have lost faith in them so even if the price drops to the lowest possible level they will not buy them.

Sometimes people don't know where the low point or base of the price of the coin is and they only buy based on what they see when they see the price fall, most people will start to buy it but for people who know that the coin is still at normal price or average price, this is not the right time to buy it. So it is true that we must know the point where we will buy the coin.

I often do this monitoring bitcoin prices as an illustration to analyze altcoin prices, sometimes to enter into new altcoin trading will be very risky even they can fall deeper than what we think, just placing a few cheap buy orders there using a martiangle I think it's quite good to do when there is a reflection of rising prices come

determining the lowest price is difficult my advice is that in order to grow profits why not continue to buy right ,then sell when bullrun it's easy but in general a trader or holder does't have the full patience due to pressure of economic ,that awareness decreases when the market starts to correct and panic makes your lose simple thinking is not analysis but is patience I mean well analysis is also equally important for determining which point or pattern mark will advance

Yeah don't forget to set a stop loss to prevent a big loss from altcoin sudden drops just like MATIC before, that was a disaster for the holder. Altcoin is always way much risky than bitcoin trading, that's why we have to be really careful with it and split our investment to at least 10 altcoins that we think it's good.

what is more when the ICO price is set then after the listing exchange price is much lower than the ICO that has been set then people are disappointed with it and many investors bear the loss

Very difficult of the price determine we must be smater buy more when the price goes down and hold. But as you said many have no patience because the economic situation sometimes they need money so they need to sell there holding if there is no other options where to find money. Even they are lose some of there capital they sell it because they need badly money.

If the price of a specific coin goes down, you better try to take the chance to have some of it and hold it because you can earn a good amount of money into it if you are going to hold it. Always remember the buy low sell high principle. After you bought it on its lowest price, try to sell it when the price of it rises up for you to be able to gain a good amount of profit.

Almost every altcoin is depending from btc price. When btc is pumping, alsmot all market green

It's hard to get the timing where the price will increase and decrease when we watch too much altcoins price movement. Just focus on some coins that is actively changing their prices not too low or too high, there is a more chance to earn in trading than waiting too long. The only coin worth holding is btc the rest is merely for trading only.

if you see that some coin falling in price, then before buying this coin it is better only after you analyze its fundamental strength. the drop in the price of altcoin may not be due to the bear market but because the fundamental factor of this coin is very weak and the price can no longer recover. I mean think twice before buy

It caused by altcoin is not getting any movement and the dollar impact that caused by the bitcoin bullish trend was affecting the price of the altcoin. I guess you can take it easy as the altcoin itself will determine the price and it's not 100% pegged to the bitcoin like what has already said by everyone else.

There was a visible trend between bitcoin and altcoins price movement till 2018 first half. After that with every bitcoin move up or down, altcoins just fell. If Bitcoin went up, people started shifting to Bitcoin from altcoins that brought a fall and conversely, if it went down, people started shifting to stable coins again making altcoins fall. Because of that many altcoins have already bottomed out.
Before that wasn't the case. Whenever Bitcoin made an upward movement and stabilised, altcoins followed it.

It's because everyone was really dumping altcoins since the mid 2018 and altcoins continue to decline till the end of 2019. The market conditions worsens as no new investors are coming in and most of them are really doing some day trading with bots.

But as soon as BTC will stabilised specially after the halvening. We might see some semblance of a rally that can have a trickle effect on altcoin. So 2020 will be very exciting not just BTC but for the altcoin market as well.

Every trader/ investor has different opinion and respond about sideways or down trend in crypto market. Worry is necessary because if you already use stop loss and money management, your risk is minimize. The big mindset is we should see all trend as a friend and use it as our limit. Don't be sad/ angry when market goes into another direction, see it as a chance to give you better position for next day. I'm really sorry about the articles, I can't find benefits from it.

That's right. Sometimes people rush to sell the coins they have and I think everyone has their reasons why sometimes they sell their coins even though the price is far below or you could say sell it at a loss. We cannot blame the person because sometimes they are in an emergency and may need something so they choose to sell their assets that you cryptocurrency for something important or maybe they think the coins held will continue to fall so they decide to sell them so they don't experience greater loss.

It is difficult to know what it will happen during this year, the past year was completely dominated by bitcoin and it seems this year we are going to see more of the same and I believe 2021 will be dominated by bitcoin as well, so it is difficult to tell what it is going to be necessary for the market of altcoins to begin to recover on their own without the help of bitcoin.

So for the time being forget about those coins since there is no point in selling them now especially if they are good coins and concentrate on how you can get more bitcoin while its price is still low.

The prices of bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies are now recovering and looks like it will continue to do so. Every time that the prices fall, some investors take the opportunity to buy and start investing. Up to this time, bitcoin is back to 8k usd. This is a good news to start the year 2020. It will also assumed that many other cryptocurrencies will follow this upward trend.

Right now the market is slowly raising the bar and it would be awesome if such a positive trend continues. Everything increases on a green market and it does not matter how good TA looks. Lets just hope that bulls have arrived.

I wouldn't say that we can be talking about all altcoins at once. From my point of view, much depends on the concrete platform/token and its particular prospects. And it is important to differentiate. Because again, only own and concrete analysis allows to get an objective overview

I absolutely share your views here. And talking about you, are there many promising tokens and platforms you are now following and can recommend? I only have 2 or 3 most advanced ones I am aware of, so always interesting to get a real recommendation

One of my latest discoveries with pretty advanced concept is Monetorb, heard of the guys already? Monet Platform is an Ethereum-based blockchain platform regulated by smart contracts and made up of 4 essential components. The platform supports the global mobile healthcare community by building and creating solutions devoted to improving the quality of selfmanaged healthcare across the globe. The blockchain technology, fundamentally a distributed 3 database, gives the platform the power to address the challenges faced by the mobile healthcare industry. And I recommend you to have a closer look at the guys' website to get a deeper understanding on what they are offering

The bulls are already here and they are now beating all the bears in the market. The prices of almost all of the cryptocurrencies are now moving up and it is a great news for people who bought at the high prices and still hold because they are now on the mode of recovering. Patience is the name of game when it comes to investing and if you do not have patience, you will lose the chance to get the big time opportunity like this.

There is a huge increase in value of Bitcoin and this could definitely go much longer, and we can see a pump up of price within this month. And i think the prediction is really happening now and we need to brace ourselves once the the bullrun comes suddenly.

And for the altcoins, i don't think it will rise up since the investors will definitely sell their token/coins to accumulate more bitcoin and wait for the price to rise and sell it again.

For the moment I am just surprised that the increase is happening faster than many had predicted before, but whatever has driven up the price is pumped even at the beginning of the first quarter, I'm just sure it's because of a halving factor that will occur in the second quarter. But there is still time until the big event later and we don't know what the next move will be, whether there will be a big correction or not but I just believe prices can be fought for and will continue to rise even higher.

It all gonna have a positive impact and hopefully, it could sustain until December. The continuous market surge reminds us that halving is always giving us hopes and even though Bitcoin won't go over that last 2017 Bullrun, it always gives me satisfaction.
There still more days to come before halving and people are much expecting that it possibly doubled the price as it was today. 

My experience when trading altcoin is not making decisions too long when we find a moment that is very useful for us because altcoin movements tend to be unstable, especially if we trade altcoin with low volumes, of course to swing it takes quite a long time. long time and if we trade Daily, of course, don't hesitate to cut and switch to another altcoin that goes up.

yes when the price of crypto goes down it is an opportunity to buy and increase the amount of crypto. and at the moment I think the market is starting to get better. in recent days bitcoin has continued to increase and this has also had an impact on altcoin. most of the altcoins also experienced an increase. I think altcoin price movements always follow bitcoin. hopefully this year bitcoin can be bullish and make altcoin pumping.

Most of the time altcoins fell because most of them were worthless and there wasn't enough money left in crypto world to cover that expense, reality is in 2017 there was a peak of all crypto and not just bitcoin, people remember that 20k times of bitcoin but even ethereum saw as high as 1.5k in price which became the first mainstream currency with that much marketcap.

So, after that when people left the crypto world they moved their alt to bitcoin first than to fiat which allowed bitcoin to drop as low as 3k at some point but still recovered pretty well. Now, ethereum is decent in price and maybe couple others but all those outside of top 10 dropped in price since there wasn't enough money to go around for all crypto currencies in the market anymore.

We can and we do talk about most altcoins at the same time because they moving very similar ways and many are very similar to bitcoin, however it is fair to differentiate between altcoins but I put them in two categories scam coins and altcoins with potential, it is obvious that we should not invest in scam coins because there is no possibility for you to profit from them.

And when it comes to altcoins with good potential you still need to be very careful because that doesn't mean that you're not going to lose money and when the market of bitcoin is so dominant it is just a mistake to invest in altcoins at this time.

Indeed! Most altcoins are following the price trend of bitcoin which is most of these altcoins are starting to move but not what you think is top in the CMC will follow what is the trend of bitcoin because most of them are going differently. Bitcoin will be very bullish if after the halving takes effect but i believe it's not this year.

Bitcoin undoubtedly will hit the $10000 before or on having a month, the price will increase if the investors don't dump the market as a pricing the news. The main trend is the down and the bear market is actually under the current market circumstances. The bullish market will come through the halving.

That time really gives an opportunity for the traders and investors to grab as much coins as possible at lower time. In our general life when we see a good/product decreasing its price then we buy as much as possible and know that in the future it will increase and it happens the same. But in crypto the traders do not know this strategy and when they see the price decreasing then start to sell with which they give huge harm to their portfolio.

Finally, the altcoins were able to move along with Bitcoin. This used to happen in 2017. Whenever, Bitcoin used to make an upward movement. After it used to stabilize, altcoins followed the trend. Same happened this time too. The top 10 coins barring few made a movement and went up by 5-10% which is a welcoming sign for altcoins.
Profits from btc are moving to altcoins which shows that people are trusting the market back again.

Yup, that was good for now that the crypto was slowly spreading unlike that it was quick rising because it also cause frome quick dumping like what happen on the year 2017.

This is a very good sign for us before the halving happens and I think after the halving season the cryptocurreny prices will more likely rise just like what's happening now. What we are going to do is told hold a lot of different coins for now and trade during the season in which the price of the cryptocurrencies are high. Let's all earn a lot a good amount of money this year.

The current pump was really exiting the future reference, so I don't accept it will dump 2017 format. Every year market stability was changing the Bitcoin and altcoin so it will going to rapid hype on shortly. I think 2017 second half was really magical on Bitcoin so once it will follow again everyone stay here.

It seems that now the Cryptocurrency market is starting to improve and recover, although it has not been satisfying at least there has been an increase from before and return us all to continue to believe in the cryptocurrency market.
and the increase in bitcoin has begun to increase altcoin to increase, especially the 10 best altcoins that are the mainstay of cryptocurrency users to invest and hopefully this year's cryptocurrency market will continue to increase and benefit those who have several altcoins who have waited too long to increase and we must wait patiently for further changes.

Of course altcoin does tend to follow the movement of Bitcoin on average and of course the trend is very influential. And I think the rise of altcoin even though I'm still not satisfied, but this is an indication that the altseason will start and the good news is that Bitcoin is halving soon. Of course, with this everyone back to believe in the crypto market and buy a number of coins that they want.

The current market is like that, the value of cryptocurrencies falling, many traders doubled - to increase efficiency. This can help investors make a big move or a big loss in capital  :o

being careful with all of your replacement transactions and making sure that the amounts backed by TA and FA studies is never redundant. Always be a wise investor and look forward to things that are good for the future.

halving bitcoin is eagerly awaited because it can have an altseason effect like 2017, hopefully this year can really be achieved for things that benefit many people because the market is long asleep and not much pump movement is high.

we must wait patiently but continue to monitor the projects in which we invest. there is no reason that exactly those top 10 projects that we see now will bring us big profits. Now all top projects have certain technical difficulties in their development, and if they cannot solve the problems that they have now, then competitors will defeat them very quickly.

Is it possible that happened this year? The altcoin season has long slept like the current market so it's no wonder that many people assume this year will happen after halving.
So many prihal halving predictions and even bitcoin will touch its highest value and many even call new ATH again, so is it hard to guess whether history will repeat itself?
Difficult to prove.

people's hopes will always be there because humans must have weaknesses and therefore there are people who depend on hope. but we cannot fully depend on expectations and must have reasons if we want to hope and do not depend fully on expectations too

In 2017 the actual increase is also slowly from the lowest process, the price of altcoin which goes up quickly usually happens when bitcoin and some of the top altcoins have reached All Time High.
when bitcoin has started to go down, altcoin which is experiencing an increase in price will ultimately not last long, in the end it looks like a short rise and a rapid fall. that's probably what you see in 2017.
in 2020 it will definitely be different from the previous year, it looks like we can see all the processes will happen again. all coins slowly rise, we hope we can enjoy the process from when the lowest price to the highest price later. for traders and investors, immediately take advantage of a moment like this to get a profit.

I think its depending on the type of trader. If you want to hold for long term, its really necessary to get the deepest price  in the market, But for scalper have many chance to get profit in every correction price i guess, so they are no need bottom price as long it can earn profit,
For delisted token or coin, i think its simple problem that we can handle it. Don't trade any token or coin that are more than 100 rank in coin market cap.

they take the opportunity when prices go down of course with the risk that maybe the price will go down again, so there will always be at stake when the market goes up or down



yes trading will continue to run no matter what the market conditions will continue because it is like a system that will never stop.
like the competition there will be losers and win.

For now it's better for us to prepare what steps we will take next. By looking at price movements in the cryptocurrency market and then determining which coins we think have the potential or have a greater opportunity to make profits than other coins and then determine the right point to buy these coins and keep watching the price movements in the market.

I think there will always be a risk in every trade, no matter the market conditions because those who buy and sell will always get a price difference, and must determine the exact point where you sell or buy.

I still believe that there are some altcoins that have potential and also a real platform that keeps them going and growing even though the current price is not much profitable. but there are some potential altcoins, and I think that just focusing on bitcoin isn't right either because the market continues to circulate and gives potential to coins that can make people interested in buying it.

Users continue to focus on Bitcoin, because the alternatives have failed to give a good explanation on their usage. They can't prove that they are better than Bitcoin. And despite all the advances made in technology during all these years, the basic concept remains the same as that in Bitcoin. There are only minor differences in the technology and mining algorithm. So, why anyone should use these altcoins?

i agree if they want the bitcoin dominance to fall they need to create a good coin that has a purpose
i thought that eth can achieve it before but after just a few years we realize that eth is not good as we expect
on eth network there a lot of coins with no purpose, coin that was used for scam
until now eth just making the market crowded with no purpose token that almost no value.

I can see the recovery and while most people here in the forum and I am are happy to see it this is making me nervous, the recovery is happening too soon in my opinion, the recovery is also too abrupt, it is simply happening too fast and I'm worried that what it is going to happen is that at some point during the next days some people are going to begin to sell their coins because they already obtained what they wanted.

And then once again naive investors are going to pay for their naivete and they are going to suffer because of it and this is especially true for all of those that decided to invest in all of the altcoins that went through an enormous growth during the past hours.

The pass few days has been pretty great for both bitcoin and alternative coins too, how ever I can't tell how long this trend going to last but it might just be another crypto season where we will witness another ATH of bitcoin and some other altcoins. #focus

Recent growth was amazing but we are close to the end. Current situation doesn´t look good at the graph, so there is a high chance that Bitcoin and other altcoins will fall back again to previous levels.  :'(

We suffered a massive 4% drop in an hour in the price of bitcoin and many coins followed suit, the resistance level became the longest moving average and we bounced out of it so technically we are still bullish in that chart.

But in the daily chart we have been strongly rejected from that moving average indicating that we are still in a bearish trend, not only that many oscillators are indicating the price may move down next, it will be interesting what bitcoin does from now on, it could create a bull flag indicating the continuation of a positive trend but it could also just keep going down creating panic among those that let FOMO take control of themselves.

I think 2020 will be the year the crypto economy will recover from recession and 2021 will be the year of celebration. Because market has increased in cryptocurrency count and it's increasing day by day because new projects are launching every day so Market will take a time to stand up on it's feet and then it will make huge jumps.

Unlike some other people I do not really have high expectations from this year, what we are most likely to see is the price of bitcoin and many alts not doing much during this year, this is going to cause a lot of people to lose hope for the market definitely as they leave the market for good.

However the year of 2021 is going to be spectacular and everything we have wanted since 2017, so you should use this year as an opportunity to get as many coins as possible because once the new bull market appears you are not going to have a chance to buy for a good price and then you should sell most of your coins when the price of bitcoin and some altcoins hits a new ATH.

it’s best to say that 2020 will be stable. It seems to me that this year the price of bitcoin will move in the range from 6 to 9 thousand dollars and this can be called stability. in 2021, BTC will be able to break through the upper level of 9 thousand of the price and begin to move in a bullish mood

investing in cryptoqurrency always has risks. however, what makes a person profitable is when buying at a low price and good luck when choosing a coin to invest. because investing based on speculation too, and we also do not know that what we have invested turns out to have high selling points.

Good luck works only when you have done good research and make sure that you are not making any error before doing investment. What I believe is that one has to be highly informed and clear about the development team motto of the coin. I personally suggest that analyze the movement of your coin for last 6 months and then do read speculations about the future current prices of your selected coins.
