Bitcoin Forum

For the past four years we have witnessed a massive drop starting from last week of December when it comes to the price of bitcoin but this year it was not the same case, does that mean that we have good days ahead? because even during 2017 bull run it started in November and lasted till the beginning of 4th-week of December then the price started to drop.

I think this is a good sign for bitcoin.

yes a lot of fortune tellers in the past year about this year which will be a good year for the crypto community of course, we are still at the beginning of the year is not too significant to see other surprises, waiting a few weeks from now to see the market really recovered from the slump, that's what expected by everyone in this forum, except for those who buy late

This is not the reason to be optimistic, even though I think that the outlook of the market is clearly geared to be positive next year.

Halving is still the main event on the horizon, in my opinion. The effect is really twofold, the psychological effect that it will have on the market as well as the fact that it creates more scarcity for newly mined coins.

Just don't expect any bull market the size of 2017. That is a thing of the past with the current maturity of the markets.

it has never been the case for the past years actually. most last weeks of December for the past 10 years actually goes up!

no that doesn't mean anything.
the fact that for the past year price has been rising (from $3200 to $13800 and ended at $7200+) means we are already in a bull market that will continue in 2020 and grow in size and speed.

We can't really know about that. You are talking about 2017, but 2018 and 2019's year end performace is different. You are relying from the past charts but I will not be pessimistic about this start of the 2020. If only it can break $8k this week, that's indeed a good sign so let us wait for that.

The bitcoin price is going to stay around 7K USD for the rest of the winter.
There are no good or bad signs for the market now.The price volatility is so damn low.

It will go up after the halving. The halving is historically the lowest point on the exponential graph.

I hope it is really a good sign ahead but we are really uncertain of the future market of cryptocurrency.  Though we can see a strong support on Bitcoin and a partial increase on it several times only to end being dump at the end.  Let us be warry of Bull trap to avoid a certain lose of our investment.

Yes we already on a strong support thats why the price always bounce after a small drop but again its hard to know when the pump or dump happen all prediction can be valid or maybe invalid.
Most people think this 2020 bitcoin price will spike so high since we are near to halving and if you check its history the price always spike so high lets us hope for a positive happen.

We already had gone though that situations, and I don't wish to see any drop worst than that this year. The history was really struggling and I do hope that not only good signs is visible, but also it's for reality of the actual market. Many people have been speculating positively even if the recent market performance didn't coincide at impressive outcome. What we need now is a stable and progressive market.

Do remember that the massive drop was because of the massive rise in 2017, which is also known as the bubble of that years halving. Naturally, a bubble which lacks foundation would go down to regulate and stabilize it's price since it remaining as such would shake the market.
Drop? Worst? Excuse me but as I recall, the year entered with BTC at 3k and ended the year with 7k. No matter ho2 hard I look, I can't really see anything close to a "drop".

Halving is getting nearer now, we should begin to see a slow rise from now until the halving, maybe even with a big speculative spike before a dump after the halving. The real fun will be in 2021.

No, it doesn't mean good or bad days ahead. Bitcoin's performance over the past couple of weeks does not indicate anything, and unless you're a trader (unlikely), you shouldn't be concerned about a couple of weeks data.

Good sign? The only good sign that most of us are waiting is the one that'll tell us that we're oficially out of the bear market, but unfortunately, that sign is yet to arrive so, anything other than that is inconsequential.

It might be good but like what we've been saying about the attitude of bitcoin, this isn't an easy thing to predict and the usual term that we use to say with that is that it's unpredictable. And if we compare it with the 2017 bull run, this time it wasn't like that. We've seen that bitcoin isn't good at the end of 2019 and we're more dropping instead of pumping. We can't assure that the good days base on your satisfaction but we'll have it just like the usual days and we're hoping that it will be better than last year.

Don't get your hopes so high because even if there's a bitcoin halving coming that is not the reason for you to think that this market is about to change like what you have expected in 2017. Things are getting more complicated this year if you think it thoroughly and done your research. Bitcoin halving effect will not have a major impact this year.

Not really a good sign, nor is it a bad one. Is just eh, pretty normal I'd say. Bitcoin may rise or fall, nothing new there, it is Bitcoin after all. You ca't really base signs off past performances of BTC, especially since the last 4 years could be said to be a regulation period of BTC on its bubble of 2017. Could even be said that it actually just finished by the start of 2019, and only the entire year of 2019 was the progress or the growth of Bitcoin that actually contained foundation and is stabilized unlike in the past 3 years.

Could be though. Could be not. Generally it should cause it decreasing the constant supply being produced means that demand would now rise higher compared to the past. Though could actually have no effect at all, but a negative one? I don't suppose so.

I dont think you can year over year expect the same exact trends based on months.  Ypu cant say its bullish or bearish to say that something did or didnt happen exactly like it did in the past.  I see this trend a lot and people focusing on times of the year to buy or sell.  That is a losing strategy as it is not a direct relation between the 2.  Just mere coincidences.

Indeed. There are really no any good signs that i see recently because the movement of the price of bitcoin seems normal to me, and it doesn't make any unpredictable movement recently, that is why i am still hoping that notcoin woyld really increase it's price so i could earn a good profit this year.

A good sign of the market is that there are more campiagns today that pays BTC. I guess this will bring more volume to the market and will give confidence to the new investors of crypto. Not for long the people who were just hearing BTC on social media sites are going to try investing in crypto for they will be hearing governments are also trying to release digital currencies.

Exactly where are you getting your data from? Past four years means 2016, we literally had an insane increase in 2017 that peaked in December with all time high price, that was literally just 2 years ago, 2017 December to 2018 December is one year, December 2018 to December 2019 is second year, so we are just 25 months away from the biggest price we have ever seen in bitcoin.

However, even with avoiding that and considering the topic as "since the all time high we have been dropping" that stopped in April so we could potentially say that early 2018 wasn't that bad, I mean it started falling but late 2017 was when it increased so lets take it as a whole bad year, then April is the fourth month, so we literally had only 16 months that was bad in bitcoin and then for the past 8-9 months it has been great so we didn't had the drought people assume we did.

If you think that's a good sign, so be it. Trust your own view if you think your basis does make sense.

But always remember that:
-past performance can't guarantee future results
-be ready for unexpected events that might disappoint you
-expectations, desired or basically what you want to happen on BTC might take several years in the making

My suggestion, don't think too much. Just continue to accumulate BTC as much as you can if possible.

I don't want to go on around and just say that this can be a good year for Bitcoin because we might be seeing a trap in being optimistic that the price may go up once the year started, Let's just wait for further movement just to be sure in my opinion, we can not let our emotion get by every time the year ends, let's just let Bitcoin sits this first and have a break from speculating any furthermore, and in my opinion, let's just all wait for the halving to come if it's going to solve the bear market or just worsen it up.

Nah I don't know why campaigns are slowly gone these days but I don't think this will be considered as a sign that the crypto market is in good a mood. The best sign that I want to see is having more investors joining to invest in Bitcoin and that will surely boost the market. While other platforms are trying to make their own cryptocurrency this might divide the investors IMO.

I would rather see it as a very bad sign due to low interest of trying to find new users. But everything is pretty calm:

- no forks
- no airdrops
- no new technology for altcoins
- no hysteria on bitcointalk ;)

Hibernation mode until spring I guess.

If your expectations fulfilled everyone in the cryptocurrency space who purely behind this earning will get the help for sure. I personally expecting the altcoins market to boom in the price chart.
If the value doesn't grow also we can utilise the situation and buy some coins with in sometime.

A similar period for the rise in the price of bitcoin has already been skipped. Indeed, in 2017, it grew until December seventeenth. Therefore, there is no reason to rejoice yet. Traditionally, in the first months of the year, there is a lull in the cryptocurrency market, even with a slight drop in price. Most likely, market growth will be in the spring. In the past 2019, Bitcoin began price growth from April 1. The same can happen this year, because a halving of payment for a new block of bitcoin should occur in May. Waiting for spring.

I don't think people will have too much patient to extend or to wait for that long? This is the reason why Bitcoin is considered to be more risky than fiat because of its volatility. Hibernation mode will not work in Bitcoin IMO. :P

I hope everyone should have a kind of attitude like you when waiting for something to happen in the future but, nope, they're not like that mostly. :D

Doesn't mean anything. Just a confirmation that past patterns don't necessarily repeat themselves, nor do the failure of a pattern point to the reversal of trends from the past.

In fact, I'd probably have been happier with a further drop off, cause that would have meant an annual low by March, as in 2019, and then we could look forward to counting the new price low in 2021 -- based on higher lows every year. As it stands now, I can't tell where we're going.

It is a great sign for Bitcoin, it should be remembered that from 2014 to 2017 the accumulation stage developed, now after having passed through a rapid distribution stage in 2018, the accumulation stage began again, at this moment it is difficult to determine what can it may be happening, maybe the market is in Re-Accumulation mode, or accumulation, maybe the upward trend stage starts again, what is really definitive is that the price will increase much more than $ 20k, that is reason enough to be motivated in the market and that the investment in Bitcoin is safe.

Yes, we do have good days ahead of us but OP was mistaking when he said the market status is positively different to December market and the last time i checked the market experience even more dump in price than last year December market. With that been said, we can not use the year 2017 market to judge this year market but we do have a better days ahead.

All the other years have always been a good year for Bitcoin, just that people like to panic alot when there is price dip.
They believe that price should continue pumping without dipping. If it happens, Bitcoin future will become very uncertain as continuous price without correction is very unhealthy. Nevertheless, I am looking at the positive side of things.

today prices fall from 7250 usd to around 7000 usd . i think the market need some small time for recover . i hope bitcoin will have some strong pump because prices suffer a lot since start of bakkt and why not bakkt will help prices this time by pumping prices

good sign for what ?
the only reason why halving its really worth for waiting is just because a simple calculating. demand increase or even stable demand will make price go raising since block reward will be cut half.
its just matemathic theory.
its like prediction, not a sign.
so far i dont see any good sign,even now btc drop under 7k .

The price even fell lower to $6900+ should we say it is as result of New year? you made a valid point here, the price might decline further before it can recover and start a bullish trend, this is exactly what played out last year the same scenario is repeating itself again, in a long term the price would be bullish.

Not really that could a kind of indication but who knows as well. The possibilities are still there.
For the fact that we are riding just like a roller coaster, it all has a chance and the history may repeat itself. Only we give trust and just be hopeful.
Either we run for another bullish market or not, that all it be like...and have to accept it.

Stay calm and relax we will get there soon. Patience is always the key, if you believe in Btc then definitely you should hold it no matter what will happen in the next few months, also timing is everything so we have to watch closely every major movement.

A good sign for me this year is that bitcoin is having an event that is attracting investors' attention by dividing it in half. What will happen to prices we do not know whether it will increase as before or not. Because bitcoin value is not only from history but many factors influence.

I don't think there are any good signs about bitcoin yet. because today the value of bitcoin actually dropped to the level of $ 6k. and I think at the beginning of this year the value of bitcoin will continue to decline. and maybe this situation will continue until March. bitcoin will be reduced after half in May. means maybe bitcoin will pump high by the end of this year.
this is just a prediction that can be right and wrong. it is very difficult to predict bitcoin price movements.

Yeah, the demand should be much higher now but like the other analysts are saying. Don't look at the price as an indicator of the demand but look at the fundamentals that are happening with bitcoin. Still a good for the market for the no techies people. It's a long long way to go to see and look we're starting become positive as the day of halving approaches.

at least, this is better than in 2018. which is the price of bitcoin falling at the level of $ 4000. and the highest increase was reached in 2019 at the level of $ 11,000. today is the beginning of 2020. bitcoin is stable at $ 6900- $ 7500. I think this is good for the future. slowly, bitcoin makes a nice increase. and we are just waiting for a good surprise to be given.

2019 is a great year for bitcoin. Bitcoin's price has increased from 3100$ to 14000$ and it is a great growth like in 2017, but unfortunately, altcoins do not grow but continue to collapse even though bitcoin still increases. In 2020 certainly bitcoin will still increase thanks to halving, and I just hope that altcoins will increase a bit compared to 2019. The price of altcoin is already too low and I don't want it to go any lower.

Until its in a regular trend its a hopeful guess that we are entering into higher prices.   It could be correct and price certainly seems willing to jump up quite often like this morning

https://i.imgur.com/FzTni1L.png

But its fair from certain still, price rides up nicely within trend and we tend to repeat.  The larger picture is more sideways and thats the trend I take away until I can observe differently.   The fight for beating July price trend of declines certainly seems to be underway but its not over yet from what I see.

Each four year have become best moment for bitcoin wake up to higher price, but how about on this year will be bitcoin can wake up to higher price or become very lower price. Almost each four years you can get much profit with bitcoin and altcoin investing is not guarantee for the moment come back and give you much profit again, depend with your lucky will bitcoin keep lower or higher price.

i hope so. there are a lot of people telling 2020 will be better. Because of the halving. I personally do not prefer to a sharp uptrend but it would be a good start to begin a slight raise in market including altcoins.

It was trying to bounced after a hard drop this morning hoping this time we can see a $8k level or suppose we will back to $6k level.
We already know that the halving are near and people think this will bring a super duper pump up let's see if this will happen.

One thing I learned from this market is that past performance is not an indication of future results. So I wouldn't buy that. Prices are really affected by the sentiments of the people, and obviously the supply and demand curve.

And as young as this market is, everything can happen, we might see some massive jump this year but it doesn't mean that we are going to see a bull run similar to 2017, just saying.

It is called growth.
Whether in number or people or in number of bought bitcoin it is still a good sign.
There are chances that we might not see a low number anymore.
3k - 5k might be history by now.
So those who are still waiting for a dump will be waiting forever. Might as well buy now than regret it later.

Good sign for bitcoin, maybe a lot of people already believe that bitcoin will pumped again in 2020. If not maybe a lot of people already sell their bitcoin in market and price wouldn't look stable like now. I think maybe dump will be happen but not really much before big pump come.

It is one of what I have waiting for because I know it will really go up after the bitcoin halving. I always look in the coinmarketcap and it seems in the last couple of weeks the price of bitcoin remains at the price of 7000$ to 7300$ and it's more become stable than before. As of now I still not see a good sign in the market but once bitcoin surpass 8000$ maybe it will be the start of good market.

Dont be too excited yet we did just enter this new year and effects and movements wont really be that noticeable or would happen directly.
For now its better to wait up and better to accumulate while the price is still low.We know that theres upcoming halving event on this year.
If you can risk up then accumulate but if not then better wait for the exact entry point.

The consistency of the price lately is not enough to hold unto as a sign of good market approaching. As a matter of fact we are all anticipating the bull run and every little changes is suspected in prediction to the Kick off. The price is not sure to rise at the early time of 2020 at all but I think it should not go much lower than it is again from now because the halving is close.

That is right, looking at the sentiment market of bitcoin price at this year is really deserve to wait. Moreover, we have had some big companies which start to use bitcoin as a place to gain profit such as bakkt which had launched their platform that support bitcoin at september last year. This is actually can encourage to reduce a doubt of investor to start buying bitcoin.

Again, the 4th annual event of bitcoin will be held at this year. Yeah, I will be enthusiastic to face this event cause there will be a big affect for the bitcoin price IMO. So, there is no reason for those who have known bitcoin to wait to buy bitcoin because you will be regreted it. Don't let this opportinity is gone again, it is enough to hear that there is some people who bought a bunch of bitcoin at the lower price because this is our turn.

No matter how this will change the price of bitcoin, we should still feel lucky that there are good things going on about bitcoin. Think about all the fiat coins in the world, the deficits, the inflation, the wars and many other stuff going around the in the world combined with shady bank movements and bad investments and somehow having more debt than money in the world makes up for a fiat currency that will always be worthless over course of some time.

If you have 1 million dollars right now and bury it somewhere and just dig it out 100 years from now you will be poor, it is not like that for bitcoin, if you put it on a wallet and just let it be for 100 years and cash out after that you will be super rich. That is why I like bitcoin, it gains value not loses it.

Likewise, it seems to be a good start as well. Nothing to rush, let the market move wherever it goes either to goes up or turning down again.
We are moving closer to halving but ain't to feel that it makes a huge push for the market to rise. All the possible changes eventually will matter on how the community gives support for crypto.

The price still moving not far from the last month. We are still stuck at $7,200-$7,400, with no signs that we will be moving farther. The current price isn't making huge adjustments but not bad at all when comparing how we start last year at $3,000 plus. It is pretty much clear to think that 2020 is getting more interesting. And confidently enough that we are able to reach beyond $10k this year if the market will steadily move like this. Not included in how halving can do.

It still a bit early to tell as we ain't noticing any significant changes in the market. Though we are all hoping for a better market this year we still can't leave the idea that the market go upside down. But what's sure right now is that we had started better than previous year, but what lies ahead still unsure. And bullrun still uncertain when to come.

The decline has been calculated since the last halving time, and in front of us, there is the next halving that can make the pump price back. a lot of speculation about this, like the price of bitcoin will reach a new ATH, or not, and more. however, many are preparing assets to wait for this year. everyone prepare to halve, that is the real signal.

By extension, are you suggesting we would have a sudden uptrend that may only last for some weeks (perhaps 4 weeks) and then drop? That could be a good inference for gauging bitcoin prices over its seemingly bullish periods. The signs imo aren't as bullish as I expected. I did anticipate a rise in price from the latter days of 2019 but was a little disappointed.

this is altcoins season for the next 6 months , even when the bitcoin halving occured within 5 months.

people also thinking that the attack on iranian commander qassem soleimani has influenced the price locally especially in localbitcoin where someone selling/buying bitcoin for $20000 , this is not makes sense for the long term but yes maybe a temporary one.

i expecting $10000 in the next 6 months at the very best bitcoin performance.
still too much uncertainity. that is what makes investors come and go quickly.

Yes, many people are preparing for this, and I think most people are hopeful that the market price this year will be better than the previous year. if we feel confident that there will be an increase in market prices this year, don't keep waiting for when the bullrun will come, let the time answer all that because an increase in market prices cannot be ascertained when it will happen

You really seem to have a very limited view of what it is a bull run, the last months of 2017 was when the price went crazy and it went up like nothing I have ever seen in my life, but that was the culmination of the bull market, the bull market actually began to manifest itself since 2016 when the previous halving happened and we saw a moderate growth during that year, then this trend continued during the next year as people were expecting if segwit was going to be activated or not.

And it was not until segwit was activated that we saw such an increase in the price of bitcoin that make it news all over the world, so for the time being you should not expect any kind of significant growth coming from bitcoin.

You can't escape correction whenever the price makes an upward move. But the thing here to note is that btc successfully defended the support of $6800 and kept the price above $7k floor after being tested again and again. This shows that the correction is done and even a small momentum up with decent volume can take price to sub $9000s.
So yes, that is a good sign for the market and we can expect some percentage gain in coming week or so.

Well hopefully this is a good sign since the most awaited for btc to experience in a bull run was long. We have to be patient in this market condition though many of us are also waiting for the increase. The price is still above 7k$ and let's hope it will surge in the coming months.

2017 Bullish has also given some learnings. People are too optimistic that that and think that it will continue to soar high in the next year(2018), but the unexpected price drop off surprise a lot and suffering big losses. That was really a huge market disappointment and it helps to open up our mind that not all the time we are on the top, bearish could still exist. These things might also happen this year and that is the reason why I'm not been too much optimistic.

BTW, I'd love to see your calmness and that is important also.

Of course, that the price increase in the first week of the new year is a good sign. However, in my opinion, we should not rely too much on historical data. Halving will definitely be the highlight of this year. However, a lot can happen up to this time. It is possible that this is the beginning of growth, but I think we should be very careful, because the market can make an unpleasant surprise at any time.

Yes it had been a good 4 years.

How about this year only? 2019?
It had been great too.
Weak holders are out because of the panic from 14k down. The strong will be the ones left and that is good for now.
Bitcoin should also be composed of strong investors for now and maybe in the future those weak ones will be back having a new will to use bitcoin and maybe invest at large amounts too.
We need that. We need more demand and somehow merchants will see that and use it as one of the most known payment option.

We cannot expect the movement to be that way, market is very dynamic that even experts are having a hard time to tell when is the right time things are going to happen, all I know is the time has come for Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency to improve, I'm following the price every hour for a sign or hint but still no indication of a big pump ahead although the price is much better now.

to be honest, I also do the same thing, I always check the price every hour, and do not find anything that changes. but, there are other things to think about, like when we sleep, and check the price, sometimes the price changes significantly. that means, we cannot see that potential every hour, so we can only assume that we currently have a good signal to see the price of bitcoin going up high. the proof, at this time the price of bitcoin began to rise.

the current price of bitcoin is still at the level of $ 7k I think there are no good signs for the crypto market. and we cannot equate the current condition of the crypto market with the state of the crypto market in the past. because everything has changed. I think we can say a good sign if the price of bitcoin can leave the level of $ 7k and then continue to pump until bitcoin reaches $ 10k before bitcoin is reduced by half.

The current price of the bitcoin is still consolidating so for me it is a good sign nut if the price breakdown to its support then it is a bad sign. The current price is still resisting in its major resistance but if there will be a successful breakout and not fake breakout that will happen, we will see a strong upward movement of the price of the bitcoin.

Bull run started way back, even prior to 2017. Only that in 2017 there's a lot of positive news that come around pushing the price even further. If you think that we're following a pattern here then it should be in 2021 when the supposedly '4 year cycle' ends. But I wouldn't worry about it though, let the market flow it's normal course and we will see if it will touch another all time high or not.


Bakkt was a good sign for Bitcoin in 2019, but it didn't have any significant effect on the price isn't it? There could be a lot of bull traps/run along the way in 2020, and the only thing we can really do is wait and adjust our trading strategies whether there is a good sign or not.

I don't know what made people think that the bull has come. The price has corrected till $7300 and is testing the support of $6800 time and again which isn't a pretty site for any bull. Though bulls are trying to take price up but are failing miserably. There is a lack of volume and whales who are in accumulation stage are not ready to take up any position.

Probably this year is kinda good sign for us because of any news that related to crypto currency and out side crypto are getting more info about it, not just that they are willing to learn more because of what happening in their country and the halving event too. so this year is really bring amazing moment for us crypto users.

Always have the same words every time with prediction expert or amateur there always said good sign for market with investing in bitcoin and altcoin, maybe when end of 2018 many people optimist for good sign market in 2019 but what the true bitcoin have down whit lower price and now repeat again whit the same recommendation, why we have sign whit bitcoin and altcoin investment?

It is good that we started the year with going above $7.5k, thats at least some sort of relief that bitcoin will eventually make a difference and go up (or at least shows signs that it can go up) and that is something we direly needed in the past 2 months. It looked as if bitcoin was stagnant and couldn't go up even if it tried and there was a secret barrier that kept bitcoin from going up and whenever price went up there were thousands of bitcoins sold to drop the price again but that all changed very recently.

Price went under $7k just a week or two ago and then it went back up above $7k and that triggered a hype that showed that bitcoin is not going down so we can buy with ease of mind and just either would stay the same or if we are patient enough we could profit, people already made over 5% profits if they bought during those times.

That is an interesting thought, during the previous days the price of bitcoin has gone up very rapidly and many thought this was the bull market we all wanted and the price at the beginning of this day went up as well but now the bears are making a comeback and we may get a negative day instead of a positive one.

If this tendency continues then that would have been the first bull trap of the year and we do not know how many we will have to witness to finally get to see a bull market if we get to see it at all during this year.

The fact that the results of the cryptocurrency market today show me is very worrying, and therefore I transferred a significant part of my Bitcoin to USDT to fix the amount of crypto currency funds at $ 8,000.  It seems to me that at least until April the price will decline.  I think that my act will be correct, because in the near future I will be able to buy Bitcoin a little cheaper.

I think in 2019 then Bitcoin has recovered at the level of $ 12000 and that's good, now just waiting for the altcoin season to come, everyone would expect that

of course we should think positively about future market price movements. because every year certainly many people are predicting bitcoin price movements, and it is entirely uncertain because bitcoin price movements are not planned by anyone, we can only wait for market price movements like what is going forward

Good sign for short term way trading with bitcoin because always have moment where bitcoin dump and pump about 5%, if you have much money very good sign for market and you can take profit with daily day without waiting for long time, just check when war news between Iran and United State how to make bitcoin down and up.

That may not be a bad prediction, for what I have seen during the previous periods that led to the halving the price went down a little bit in the months prior to the event.

And to me this is very interesting since it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense for the price to go down in those circumstances but I cannot deny at the same time that it did in fact happened, so you could be right, the price could begin to go down during the next months and you will be able to buy bitcoin for a cheaper price than its current value, just make sure to not forget to enter the market at the right time because most likely we are going to see a bull run during this or the next year.

Really a good sign today and its very visible to the charts and prices today that altcoins are also growing along with BTC. The one the I notice the most which I also bag some is the EOS. Its a leap of price considering how it was in the past few months where there is no spikes at all. I got tired trading that I withdraw them to stake it but now it seem worth to trade it already.

Now, it is the 9k mark which seems to be difficult to reach.

Playing with 7.5 to 8.5 only.
A good sign but not that much for other speculators. They want big. Somewhere they could sell specially to the high amount buyers.
As it goes near the halving there are celebrities popping out of their closet.
This might really be a huge blast before the halving.
Better buy now.

Everyone speculates that 2020 is the beginning for bitcoin to rise to a higher price.
the market situation at the beginning of 2020 was getting more positive with the rise of bitcoin reaching a price of $ 8k. This is a good start and is also supported by BTC halving which will occur in May 2020.
Old or new investors enter to enliven the bitcoin market. I'm sure bitcoin will reach the highest price in 2020.

you mean 2 years has decreased since early 2018 until 2019 we are in the bear and bloody market, if indeed every 4 years there is always the same stage, I think for these 2 years 2020 - 2021 is a good year for the crypto market especially bitcoin which dominates the crypto market and will no longer see prices falling too deep as before  ;)

Yes that's what everybody's dream to catch the good tide this year, and this is a great motivations. Hopefully the good start will bring lucky fortune for those who've been holding patiently with didications and perseverance. I'm not that sure as you mate, but I am really looking forward for future halving to be successful.

Always get motivation every year see bitcoin back with higher price but always our dreaming not come true what happen with last year where many prediction about bitcoin hit above $16k but bitcoin keep lower price under $7,000. But we have big chance for bitcoin back again with higher price and keep continue until bitcoin halving coming and bitcoin could hit with higher price above $16,000.

Yes off course the price of bitcoin in the beginning of 2020 was increasing and it showed a positive sign about the price of bitcoin for the whole year and I think the halving of bitcoin will bring more and more positive changes in the market, and also the investors are attracting towards it when they heard about the halving as from the past experience we can say the halving always proves good.

motivation and expectations always appear when at the beginning and end of the year. when it was in the middle of the year and the price of the bitcoin or crypto market had not yet shown a change, I'm sure more and more people will be disappointed again. Well, it seems to be quite different this year maybe because there is good news about halving bitcoin. personally, I think bitcoin will really reach ATH at the end of the year not now and there is a possibility that bitcoin will go down again in next month.

Indeed, we surpass for about 2 years in a bear season and we still never quit. As we observe how the market started to move high, it eventually giving us another chance to see impossible things to become possible, and that it looks like we are able to make another story.
The community are now relying on how this upcoming halving could have a change and even more hopeful this year for ATH.

Good sign for market because today have raise up with higher price and have chance for investing with bitcoin, maybe for next day later have bigger way how to get much profit with bitcoin because trend of bitcoin look with higher price, never have way bitcoin will back to lower price and most available for every one can invest with bitcoin and altcoin.

In a certain thing that we can't deny that the crypto market is now on the road for great achievements and as well as digital market adaptation.
Looking forward to how this halving could give a positive and satisfying result, it eventually fuels for hopeless to see back. The significance of these few pumps will enlighten everyone and think that bullish soon to arrive.

Agree! This is a point where we can't deny the future of crypto, therefore anyone can interpret the signs as they wish, there are tons of information out there, and depending on the perspective signs can be positive or negative.
Experienced people don't care about daily fluctuations, traders trade, holders hold, with time people get use to it. As market grows and demand price will grow too, halving can just speed up the price rise, simply because supply will go down, again with time and higher demand price have no other choice, it has to go up.

Brace yourselves, bitcoin is going to hit the roof again, we are very close to $9,000 and we can expect a further growth once we step in to that.
We have a good sign looking at the market, all that BTC has to achieve is to reach $10,000 again then let's see if it will remain bullish.

Things are moving well, hopefully a small FOMO is form again.

These two weeks at the beginning of this year bitcoin continues to increase. although it's not a big increase bitcoin continues to increase. at the moment the price of bitcoin reaches $ 8800 I think this is a good sign that we will soon be entering the bull market. two years ago we were at the bear market. in my opinion 2020 is the year for the bull market.

but you should take into account that the market was not that bearish before november. I remember the market condition for both bitcoin and altcoins were also profitable in all 2017. So that rally was not a sudden reversed trend. I think expecting for a stable slowly uptrending market is better.

It is indeed a good sign for Bitcoin market to see the sentiment started to be Bullish.  There are also lots of hype  around the Bitcoin market though some are kind of unsure about the continuous bullish trend but majority of them believe that this rally will run towards the halving.  I also think that this bullish sentiment will push Bitcoin to its new ATH.

Actually I am looking at the market right now and I love seeing that most of the coins are now pumping, I am not sure if this is the beginning of the bullish trend or just a trap. As a matter of fact, the crypto market is up by 5% within 24 hours and I hope this will continue because most of us are longing for bull market. I am having a thought that this is caused by the nearby halving what do you think?

bitcoin is still not out of bad condition, after this price increase it's likely the price of bitcoin will return to the price of $ 7k. You could say this is just a trap to create positive opinion in the community, I see bitcoin has run out of energy to go to a higher place.

The bears are defending that level with all what they have, they know very well that if we cross the 9000 level that is going to be a huge bull signal that will change the dynamic of the market.

But we also need to be very conscious about what it is coming, if for some reason bitcoin fails to break away from that level for a long period of time then we are probably going to see a correction and taking into account how significant was the growth of most altcoins during the most recent days it is possible that many of them are going to crash so if you're holding altcoins be very careful with them.

   We all feel the same way when we see the market all green, with some amazing increases for some coins. This is a good start of the year,
good sign for upcoming events that we can expect even higher prices.
   Let's just hope that this is not a temporary rise, that entire crypto-market will continue with rise in upcoming months. I was talking that
we need to accumulate more before prices starts to rise, and looks like it's happening, we don't have much time for buying cheap coins.

You have wrong with sign market when looking green but you must enter with bitcoin and altcoin investing when market is red, you must buy bitcoin when have lower price and then sell after price raising up, when you sign with market after green maybe you have big chance for loss because many people will sell their assets after market green and have higher price.

We have to support the level of resistance today. Holding could be a way to help but we can't stop others to sell their Bitcoins as they might also badly in need with money. But somehow, if the majority will never sell their coins at this time we could still saw the prices keep moving high.
What we have now is to keep positive and never get easily be panic when we hear bad( fake) new against crypto.

Many cryptocurrency users are considered the current revival of the cryptocurrency market a trap in a certain sense.  But it seems to me that the increase in prices affected almost all cryptocurrencies, whose companies really have good prospects in the future.  Based on this, what happens can be safely called the start of a bull run.  But I would like to know how serious are the reasons for the growth of the entire cryptocurrency market, but so far there is no answer to this question.
Many analysts claim that Bitcoin price growth of 19% since the beginning of the year was the best indicator in the last few years.  Based on this, the cryptocurrency is very responsive to Bitcoin indicators.  It is quite acceptable that the next milestone for Bitcoin will be in the region of $ 9,500.  If this milestone is overcome, then we can really expect a bull market this year.

Undoubtedly, since Bitcoin prices affect the entire cryptocurrency market, a positive development of events in the cryptocurrency market is expected with an active increase in bitcoin prices.  This is exactly what is happening today.  In addition, it is necessary to take into account the fact that not only speculators in the cryptocurrency market, but also positive news in the media can also positively affect the market.  Especially when you consider news such as the recent relative ethereum, where the Reserve Bank of Australia tested the Ethereum blockchain and recognized the use of digital assets as really promising, with better conditions for users to receive services.

there is a possibility that we have approached the bullish market, even though there is a slight increase in current market prices, but it can give strong confidence to people who are starting to leave investments in bitcoin and can lure back so they can invest more against bitcoin or other crypto which is quite potential

Recently, the market price is really in a good shape, but i don't think we are still in the bullish market because later on the market price would suddenly decrease that a lot of people will start selling their crypto again. I'm pretty sure that the real bull market will come this year that every would really be happy with their holdings.

I don't want to go on in circles and just say that for Bitcoin this can be a good year because we might be seeing ton of bulltraps before the actual bull trend. Let's just wait for further movement to make sure we can't get our emotion every time the year ends, in my opinion. Let's just let Bitcoin sit on this first and have a break from further speculating, and in my opinion let's all wait for the bitcoin halvening to come and see what it brings to the market.

care to explain what this mean?because after 4 years we have experience a massive drop starting December?what does this mean?in january 2019 the price of Bitcoin stays $3000 level so what is the case ont his sentence?
where did you get your statistics mate?it seems that you have your own stats?who says that Bullrun in 2017 starts at November?
not just for bitcoin but for the whole market,because look at the graphs now that the altcoins are going along with the growth of Bitcoin.

I don't think there is a correlation of price to time of year.  I think it has more to do with the timing of the halving which starts a market cycle.  I think there have been a couple of times that a peak of a bubble happened in December but that is more likely the result of a halving the previous year. 

Yep the market conditions are indeed good, the movement is also quite good, crawling with certainty will continue, bitcoin has shown an increase slowly and i is bullish for and there will be no decline because the increase is also quite slow if the increase is significant then it will be prone to severe dumps such as BSV recently.
Bitcoin will continue to rise until halving happens if you believe that?

During the next days we are going to find out if the rise in the market that we saw was temporal or if this is the beginning of a positive trend that everyone was expecting, yesterday we saw a very important correction, but anyone that knew anything about trading knew that correction was coming and now we are above a very strong resistance level.

If that resistance level can hold as it has done already by resisting three different attacks by the bears to that level then it is entirely possible that the price is going to keep rising in the future and this signals that this was not a temporary rise, but if that level fails then we may see bitcoin back to 8200 or 8000.

After BSV which one coin have potential with quite for growing up and down? I like check with coin have faster time for growing up and down because we can earn much profit every day without have hold in long term, maybe bigger coin like XRP we must waiting several years later for getting with higher price but not the same thing with BSV coin,

As the market keep on rising then definitely they will still invest and more investor will probably join the trend once they see a huge jump of price of bitcoin. And this is really good and it could increase more the market cap and also the volume.

And i think that the value will just plummet if a big player will dump their portfolio just like last 2017 which is really affected a lot of investor and some of them pull up their investment that really make the BTC value go down more.

Do you have a data to back this?

I actually don't know if that's the same trend is happening in the past 4 years, what I know is that in the past 2 years, the market is already bullish, not saying the whole 2 years but most parts of it are really bearish.

So this is actually a good start, but we have to continue monitoring the price if this will continue as we know that market is very unpredictable and whales could be playing and manipulating again.

It will surely bring good and positive run in terms of market price because there are a lot of investors who were trying to accumulate as much btc as they can and wait for the bullrun to come. The btc halving is one of the most anticipated event for the investors to gain more profit because of the trend since the beginning of the halving.

We were coming from a long bear market, all the speculation in the halving is here and people are so bullish with that.
This good start that we are experiencing now will likely trigger a bull run if we keep bouncing back once we failed when trying to break the resistance.

Indeed it is. Also, we are fortunately starting the new year with a widespread rising on the market despite there is a little drop during this time but I would like to say that Bitcoin will contunie pumping in the next months with but with a significant  value especially after the halving ( as I know it is going to happen in next July ). So this the appropriate for holding Bitcoin and even buying due to the price is still under $ 9K.

there are still a few months ahead to halving, the big whales also seems to have no intention to pump the price of bitcoin on a large scale.
seeing many people here who are optimistic about bullish. and the price of bitcoin is currently down again, use this opportunity to buy bitcoin and hold it.

There's no valid basis for this claim. It indeed happened on the past but given how inconsistent the uprise and downfalls were, it is an enough proof how unpredictable the market is. The bottomline is no one can determine what would happen for tomorrow's market behavior. The best thing to do is to be patient in order to be safe from hasty investments. There is a chance for an increase but there is an equal tendency for dumps.

This new year rise is the sign that some people waited for. They wanted to see what the crypto market is capable of. Some of us knew that from before, and we enjoy collecting profit now when prices are up. Now we need to wait for them to go down and to buy again. After halving the price of Bitcoin can go over $10k and to never return under that mark again.

This is the most difficult question now. Was it just a bull trap and the price will begin to fall, or is it the beginning of increases or maybe even the beginning of a new bull run? I think we have to wait a month or two to see if this is a stable situation or the continuation of bear market.

It is very interesting to try to tell what it is going to happen in the market from now on, today we are seeing an important recovery and that is always something good but we still need to break away from the 9000 level that stopped bitcoin some days ago.

If we cannot do that each attempt at making it so that fails only weakens the position of all of those that believe this is the beginning of a new bull market, as such the next days are very important to try to tell the direction that bitcoin will take and whether or not a positive trend will emerge from this.

Perhaps in this situation, the problem in the cryptocurrency market can be solved only by reducing the supply of Bitcoin, because only a deficit of cryptocurrency can raise the price quite actively.  But only large Whales and speculators own such levers of control of the cryptocurrency market, but such a development of events is apparently not profitable for them.

That's all we've got, we can change it either. Even though the whales are holding a huge number of Bitcoin but it doesn't mean that the future of crypto is certainly be lying to them coz I believe that they have also in different insights towards crypto.

The current market flows is seeingly good to see, not really a sign for Bullrun but at least we gonna see a sort of pulling back high again. And this thing is good enough to believe that crypto isn't over yet just like some people think about when the market drastically drops down continuously after 2017 Bullrun.

Looking at the current price, it's almost $9k again, perhaps we're indeed in the bullish phase right now and people are still continuing to accumulate bitcoin because they know that the halving is coming and this could be the catalyst to reach 5 digit and beyond after May.

We can only speculate that by this time or prior to halving $10k is indeed doable because of the block halving hype. I'm not expecting it to happen at the end of the month though, perhaps around Feb-March, we're going to reach 5 digit and then even higher as we approved the halving date.

The supply of bitcoin is as is. It can't be reduced unless you want to send them to addresses that are considered with private keys that are lost forever. And that's what we call, burning which is popular to altcoins. I don't understand the idea of reducing the supply of bitcoin knowing that we all knew it that it has a fixed supply of 21 million. There's no way for us to reduce it and it will continue to be mined as long as we're not reaching the number until last supply will be mined.

Hey! , the good news is bitcoin hit again $9000, and we might see the price end up higher than $9000 by the end of the month.

This is a great bounce back, I was thinking after it corrected, it will go back to $7,000 but it didn't drop further, instead it bounce back and break the $9K level again, this must be a good market movement for crypto.

That's was awful to think that it will reach to $7k since actually we are on hype right now and actually the dip I see for now is at $8k price level and never beyond that and good thing we can almost see the price reach to $9k since it this continue maybe it will give a confidence and create a good demand.

At the beginning of the year, we saw that most of cryptocurrencies are starting to recover after its months of downtrend. Right now the market is looking healthy again because there are many breakouts that happening. The current price is now at above $9000, as long as the price will stay in that area, we can expect that there are still buyers who willing to buy bitcoins.

Beginning year become best moment where bitcoin and altcoin keep have higher price, I think this year become best moment take back with investing in bitcoin and altcoin because at the early new year bitcoin have show to public how can raise to higher price and look exist keep going on above $10,000.

the real good sign for me is if bitcoin can stay for a while above the 200 day average. then we can expect to move forward  :)

People forget that resistance points makes you "bounce down" which is not a term I know but it is literally something like that. You go towards the resistance point (last I check was $9.4k) and when you get closer you either have to break it and if you can't that means you would have to go back down a bit and recollect and try again, that is why it is normal that prices goes to 8300 levels or anything since price literally doesn't break the resistance so it is just going down, buy lower, try again later when price goes up.

We may have the same thing few more times, for example I wouldn't be shocked if bitcoin goes to $8.4k next, however eventually as long as we don't go down even more, we will keep trying and eventually one day we will break that resistance and go up.

Indeed, the decline is unavoidable and the decline can occur at any time even though prices are strengthening as has happened recently, but if this achievement can be maintained until the next month, then most likely prices will continue to increase to exceed $10k which of course it is a resistance and something to be expected. But, this is still the first quarter that I feel will not continue to increase throughout this quarter because with the negative sentiment there is very possible correction to dominate the market.

It could be indeed because, this might only be a sign for correction that usually causes for the price of Bitcoin to increase after it. We should hope more from Bitcoin this year 2020 because of the upcoming halving event that would surely affect the standing of Bitcoin in the market. Even though the price of Bitcoin in the present is still in a decline a lot of people know that the possibility of a comeback is high as the bull run ensues.

What does it mean to stay above the 200 day average? I think that a good signal will start with real information, like halving. after that, there will be a price increase continuously even though the increase is slow. however, the signal from the price of bitcoin is going up is, the increase is happening little by little. Until now, I thought the signal was there.
