Bitcoin is silently pushing up for the past few days, what could be the reason, could it be because of the halving coming up later or that the bulls are back in town.

As always, there is no way to know for sure what caused the price rise, but people are mostly leaning on current geopolitical events, concerning Iran and the United States.

With that said, don't be too confident. Remember that we're talking about bitcoin here, whereas 5% is nothing, and it can easily easily go the opposite way in no time, destroying the hopes and dreams of those short-term gamblers.

It's not only been just the last few days, but all of last year. The reason? I think it's just a normal trend reversal and as we got closer to and pass the halving, I think we'll see it really ramp up and everything will start to take off like it did a few years ago. I think we'll see the price come back down to somewhere in the $6,000 range. Probably somewhere closer to $7,000 before we see it come back up and surpass where we are now. This is a volatile market and there is no guarantees of anything though.

Not yet until the halving. I think this is a casual pump after end of the year, first month of the year market it always green because it was recovery from the last december when market was bleeding. So i think bull run still far ahead because the world is not looking at crypto right now, there are still many world's issue that more mainstream

This type of pumps and dumps is natural for bitcoin.Halving bitcoin reward can be a reason but I don’t think this is the main reason. Maybe its a natural pump.if bitcoin rise more than 10k$ then halving is the main reason. But we will see this price within few months.But we can't tell this is bull run,bull run will pump maximum coins.         

It's very, very hard to say exact reason because as you see in past we has rise from 7-9k to 13k but finally what we got is fall up to 7k and we are stuck in this price. I didn't know if price went from 7000 to 7800, just got it from your news but personally I don't feel optimistic right now and can't say this is the start of bull run or that's happening because of upcoming halving cause in past, we always had rises after halving, not before that (on last halving price was stable 600$ for a while and it started rise after 1-2 months of halving).

not sure if this is the start of a bull run or not because i only believe this is only a temporary recovery, we are still at the beginning of the first quarter of this year and it's too soon to say this is the start of a bull run, we need to wait for a few more days because i'm just sure a big correction at least will happen after this temporary recovery

I don't think this is the start of the bull market but it looks like it's a result of the recent conflict between US and Iran. It might be most influential people are using Bitcoin to transfer their funds from banks to cryptocurrency. This is the only reason I see with the recent pump but if there's another way that making this pump then please tell me what else.

I'm think this is starting of a new bull run because some indicator already show that lots of buying demand on bitcoin, lots of buy order was filled during pass few months. Some people will say this increase just due to the war between US and Iran, but i believe this is only the reason for bitcoin to grow super fast in short period. 

Theres no one could be sure on what are the actual reasons why we do see these kind of price increase but if youve been here on this market for a while now then these movements is just like a typical day here on crypto.No man would able to believe the exact reason behind of such rise on this very unpredictable market.For now the thing we can do is to cherish up these movements for our own benefits.Utilize on how you do trade up and make money out of these movements.Lucky for those people who bought a week ago since the price at the moment is 7900.Good numbers to see to reach up 8k+ soon.

Surely this is also the reason why prices are rising so quietly and surprisingly, even though this is only an increase of around $ 500, it feels like we are already in the bullrun because it's astonished is this perhaps the beginning of halving?
Is it also possible that this whale manipulation is now rising in an instant and then lowering it again so that many new investors enter?
We believe that this increase will bring positive going forward because the indicators have started to move in the right direction.

It is still time to wait, there are good movements in bullish trend, but it is short term, many analysts have predicted this movement, which would be a rather aggressive movement, I think we still have to see it, at least for me, when it is above $ 9 k could start speculating more safely.

This movement is good, there is still more demand in the market, the supply is superior for now. The Halving may not have much to do, but they are making moves to cause more reliability in the market and that the castles do not fall in the air of the people, as Burton says in his book of "A random walk through Wall Street "

I am assuming maybe the reason behind this is Iran because oil and gold also increase it's price in the past few weeks, that is why a lot of people are predicting if the war in Iran will start, bitcoin might move up to all time high. But i think we should not expect bitcoin will continue to increased it's price because it is still just a prediction.

maybe yes and maybe not yet. from last year was also the same as this when prices went up many people would have thought "bulls has come" but it was a lie. it's hard to predict, even though there are already signs, but we can't be sure of all that. for example after the current price rises, it could be tomorrow or next month suddenly the price of bitcoin drops sharply before halving happen.
my advice is better, just follow the market right now, take the opportunity to get profit by trading.

The bulls are presenting some healthy signs of life to be sincere, but they have a long way to travel and the road is full of bears. Personally I wouldn't get a bullish bias until we don't break the $9600-$10,000 area. Until then we are still under heavy selling pressure. The halvening is incoming and people might be accumulating in anticipation of this, but some academicians says that everything is priced in and that the markets are efficient.

If you wanna be on the "safer" side always play with the trend.

We will have a bull run but not like 2017 that was a blow off bubble. We can have a slow steady increase for years then eventually another FOMO rally and bubble again. Huge price spikes are not the only indicators of bull markets. Several years of smaller, but consistent annual growth is a bull market. Could be 2 years could be less. It may not be as exciting, but these bubbles aren't benefiting anyone except for those lucky enough to time the top and those manipulating the price in the first place.

The support and volume which BTC getting is really good. We all are hoping for a bull run in not only BTC but also alts. People are holding lots of alts from long time now. A major bull run like 2017, will bring in allot of members back into crypto and even good projects may think of something to gear up their projects.

There is no news that can bring this pump up except the digital currencies that were pushed by some countries like China's Digital Yuan. CZ should be tweeting something. He use to be doing it every time there is unexpected events but why is he silent about these pumps?  I'm optimistic though so I'm hoping the bulls are rallying before halving starts.

As far as I know, the rise in bitcoin is due to the tension between the US and Iran. The people of Iran fear a war and they are looking for an alternative coin to store their assets, and for the moment bitoin is the best choice.
Many sources indicate that in Iran bitcoin has exceeded $ 20,000.

It this will be consistent and successive every month, that possible for bitcoin to soar faster and experience another bullrun. Beforehand, accumulating our bitcoin balances is very important ways to expect more profit in right time. For now, just stay within control while it's not yet happening and don't expect beyond normal impression.

It was funny how it was $6000 before the new year and now it above $8000.
Some people speculate it is the call of an incoming war on the horizon. But I just cant validate this being the reason why.
It was a sudden spike in a week just about the same time this happened. So it could be a correlation but I just dont see it.

We really don't know the exact reason for the current surge of the price. But I wouldn't be too complacent with the current push, I don't think that the bulls are back in town. Maybe some whales are behind all of this pump, maybe crypto investors are back, we really can't say for now. If we continue and trigger a growth to 5 digit then it's good. Otherwise we might see a pullback again to $6900 range. So let's see how it will move up to the end of the week.

Actualy it's not funny, that is how Bitcoin is functioning. Price can change very quickly and sometimes that surprises us because we are not prepared.
However, I wouldn't draw conclusions too early about recent price pump. It's yet to see if this is just temporary price pump or some growth that will last longer period of tiime and bring us some significant positive price change.

The bull's return or not I'm just passionate about the pump that happened recently, because with the pump that happened at least we can make a conclusion if this year will be a good year for price growth in the crypto market. Indeed, it is still very possible for prices to fall again because maybe this is a trap or just a temporary pump, but at least with the events that will happen later I believe prices will continue to increase consistently.

It's a sign but we still need a few days to weeks before we can confirm that we are at the beginning of the bull run, nothing is confirmatory here, everything still is, speculation, there is speculation of Iran events as the event that move the price of Bitcoin, others are saying it's the halving, we'll have to see if these two are the factors or just anyone of it or another info or events.

No one really know what could be the reason of the small pump that is happening. But IMO, it was because of the supply and demand in the market. If you can see market situation, a demand for btc is higher and the supply is currently lessen that is why the small bull run performed.

I am positive that it can slowly recovered and back into $10-12k. I can smell some bulls with upcoming weeks.

no one knows the exact reason, maybe it has something to do with the news that is happening, maybe because it's approaching "bitcoin halving" but without it all in bitcoin technical analysis also began to show a positive trend, hopefully this is a good start for bitcoin.

This could be because of the halving. Investors are buying additional bitcoin to hold before the halving occur because they believe it has a positive impact to the price of btc that can lead to bull run.

Well we cant really say the real reason and whatever it is I dont mind as long as btc is showing improvement.

There is a sign but the confirmation is still what we need. As long as the price will hold to its support then the bullish trend will come. A lot of articles and opinions in the forum about the bullish market that may come, there are now people got hyped to the price but we still need confirmation in the chart. We should only make a move if we fully understand the price action and it is better to not depend to the other people's opinions.

Perhaps, these situations can attract bitcoin to get the bull run to appear to us, so we will see bitcoin price can start to increase more than the price now. Besides having a pump yesterday and today, bitcoin price trend still going to go up, and we might see another high price soon. We still need to be careful on this day, although we have a good trend to see a bitcoin price increase. We don't know what will happen later. If the price can break $8500, then I guess that will be a good time for bitcoin to rise and break another higher price.

Not the Jedi?  ;D

Yeah, the halving could be one of the most reason when we try to figure it out.
Why? Because not much events are happening right now except for the Iran-US fight.
I guess that will not really shaken the financial market.

So yes, because there is not much option for now. The halving it is and the FOMO.

I don't see it as good sign for buy back or replace money in investment program. My opinion, this is only correction. Some people make bait to persuade people enter market and take their money in second. Need more significant movement and if just 2% - 7% is nothing, don't follow it. We need to see the different between real and fake movement. Be patient, stay calm and next week will be our time for buy back.

Could be one of the good reason.
I saw a thread in some discussion about FOMO's getting back.
Yes, they might be here by now.
Seeing a good bull of $1k, those fomos might be already in the shadows lurking to buy any time.
Maybe even with just a little dump they will take it as already a cheap price. It is difficult though to find more reasons about this.

Today Bitcoin prices indeed show a significant price increase, Many believe that this is because of the conflict between Iran and US where Iran has fired dozens of missiles at US military bases as revenge. But I see this only as the beginning of price increases ahead of Halving Bitcoin.

I've been saying since the low $7Ks.....this is the most bullish price action I've seen in months. No point coming up with a reason; let's just call it "excess demand overtaking weak supply."

There is still a shitload of resistance to get through (the 20-week MA for starters) so I don't want to jinx it. But it definitely feels like the bottom is in. The bearish sentiment of the past 2 months is panning out: all those bears are starting to buy back.

Once the market pushes towards $10K and starts holding above the long term MAs, I'll be more comfortable declaring a mid-term bull market.

Halving will not have an effect on prices until a few months after it occurs. Miners need to capitulate (hold in this case) and stop the inflow of BTC to the market for prices to go up. Most people will not do that as they have bills to be paid and it can not wait. Price going up right now is simply a FOMO and the way for people to profit from the shorting opportunities that present themselves like here and now. It is all speculation on our minds lol. There is no reason for btc to grow up now and it will not get past 9k until late of 2020.

Certainly the main reason Bitcoin has been rising over the past few days is the political situation of the US and Iran. Tensions have increased today as Iran has launched retaliation. I believe that in the next few days Bitcoin price will quickly rise above $ 10,000 if the conflict is not resolved. Bitcoin will most likely reach ATH much sooner than expected because of this conflict. Buying bitcoin is now the most appropriate time and waiting for the profits to come to us

The rise seems to happen due to the war tension between Iran and US and due to which many other Fiat currencies have also risen. The prices will continue to rise till the issues does not get resolve compeletely and settle down peacefully .

Possibilities are always there but remember to do a good research before jumping into conclusion. There's some good run and if you made it in a perfect timing you'll be able to catch up the right profitable position. This can be a good start for this year to bring bull into reality.

He’s tired on a lower level and now bitcoin is slowly moving for a better price. Real cause can’t be known, but its good for bitcoin to go up despite of the situation of world economy. 5months before the halving and maybe its the reason, but let’s not conclude yet and wait for the peak of this up trend. Don’t sold your bitcoin yet we can still see bitcoin on a 5 digits again this month.

War should not happen, they need some peace talk to resolve the problem as many uses bitcoin to keep their assets to hide in traumatic war that may happen, that's why the price increase. It's sad that because of this war price increase happen, we wanted it in different way. In a peaceful adoption and acceptance of many countries.

those are some of the other reasons bitcoin is pushing for a bullish market. I am interested in these 3 reasons that bitcoin will go up.
- it is possible that bitcoin has abandoned bearish patterns and movements.
- Halving is coming for the next few months.
- great news about bitcoin trading in iran. and conflict in Iran VS US.

There are a mixture of different reasons for sure. Halving is one of them for sure. It is also possible that the events turning out in the Middle Eastern region of the world have pushed some investors to shift into crypto. It is also possible that Bitcoin is bought more than sold right now.

and some people choose "gold" to save her money, we can see the price of gold rising and im sure will not down like bitcoin, because gold very unique asset, but for digital life and easily to use, bitcoin is the real best option to save our money.

Yes, it can be the return of Bull run like the previous year! In 2019, Bitcoin price went nearly 14K USD, this year we can hit 15K USD within Q2! The crypto market environment is very positive at this moment! We may see more big jumps in the Bitcoin price very soon! I predicted Bitcoin price will cross 8K USD in January, but never thought it can happen even before 15th Jan!  

I am not entirely sure there was a "excess demand", I can agree on the weak supply but this was "expected demand" for bitcoin, not like suddenly everyone was buying bitcoin left and right and there was a huge buy wall or something like that, none of that happened for bitcoin, however the sell pressure got lower and lower which meant there was less people who are willing to sell for 7k, and buyers just bought all of it when the sellers stopped, then there was people at 7.5k, 8k all bought up because there was less sellers.

Looks like that will continue for a while as well because people are not yet willing to sell at these prices, I suppose there is a common understanding right now that bitcoin worths more so there are only few traders that is left selling at these prices.

Halving still three months later and too early when talking about bitcoin raise up to higher price because halving, but have one way why make bitcoin raise up to higher price today and why many people looks invested whit bitcoin as their investment assets and way to keep holding their money and increase whit higher price.

Gold and Oil are getting more expensive, Bitcoin (was) is a nice option if you look back and the yearly trend on this period.

I have been worried to see the movement in price in last few days but I understand the regular pull back at every pump before we see the sporadic movement in coming weeks to break the previous ATH. The market is still healthy and greed index is getting fair on the confidence to buy bitcoin. It is more of accumulation from same bitcoin maximalists that know the low is gone

Since the recent price increase in Bitcoin from 7k to 8k, many people have been attributing this pump to some bull. I really don't understand the perception towards this. Do we now believe that there won't be any price pump in the price of Bitcoin till some bull alters it? This perception is wrong, IMO.
Personally, all I see is price increase as a result of market interaction and activities. The market is not dead people.

The sudden pump might likely be as a result of tension between the two countries the price of bitcoin had shown a tremendous increase since the beginning of the crises till today however immediately after President Donald Trump press release on the aftermath of Iran firing some missiles into US bases in Iraq there was a sudden dump in the price of bitcoin from $8300 to $8000.

I still dont have the news of those who will be in the market this year, we just feel the halving is capable of raising the price it self. Last year was activities of the institutions and money movement from altcoin to bitcoin. I dont see much of movement from altcoin to bitcoin this year cause the weak hands have left the altcoin space. Exchanges are quiet at the beginning, I guess they are looking for the top exchange moves to decide the market move this year. Lets watch out for the participation of Government this year.

I would say so.

A lot of people want to attribute the tensions in Iran and the gold price spiking to bitcoin's bull run. While this could have been a contributing factor I don't think that it is the main reason.

I think that the main reason is still due to bitcoin's natural price cycles which operate on around a 4 year basis each time. 2020 was bound to be quite a bullish year full of bitcoin rallies after 2019 continued to be bearish in the second half, at the very least, and with the halving coming up it's no surprise.

Although we've seen progress this past few days, it's too early to say that bull is back. I believe we are still at bear market, that improvement isn't enough to call a bull. The price didn't even sustain at $8k. Don't forget about Chinese New Year, it's possible it may cause a price fall. For me, if we crossed $15k, that's the time it's safe to say that we are already at bull run. Anything at $10k could be another bull trap but if another country will join the war (hope not) that can possibly trigger the bull run early.

that’s true now a day best choice to invest your money is bitcoin because bitcoin has good value in market as it had successful journey in market. Now so many people sold all their assets and moved to crypto (bitcoin).  It’s almost bull because price made progress and it has become $9000 in few months from $5000 that's why soon market is going to be bull soon.

We dont know what exactly happened because that is an unpredictable thing. Now, Bitcoin price was slowing down and I think we are now again facing a long term correction of price in Bitcoin. It breaks from the recent up of $8k and now it back again to $7k range price but still, no one knows what will happen. Who knows the price will go up after the next halving of bitcoin just like what happened the previous one.

I don't know the main reason behind the recent pump, some say halving hype is the main reason and some say Iran and USA collision is the reason behind it! It can be because the bitcoin price already started falling down when the Collision is over!  Personally, I think Bitcoin halving still far away, Bitcoin price won't get good umps at this moment because of halving hype, it will reflect on October- November of 2020!

It turns out that the pumping didn't bring bitcoin soaring and now it's back down, so I think this bullrun is still not here yet, maybe there are some turbo influences right now.
But we will see in the next few days whether this pump will continue to exist because this could also be the influence of halving that will be approaching so that the pumping is happening now dump.
I would not have thought that the fall in prices now caused by the pope.

I think the rise of bitcoin a few days ago was indeed affected by the Iran and American conflicts. when relations between the two countries heats up the price of gold, oil and bitcoin have increased. while some joint stocks suffered a decline. and these two days the value of bitcoin has decreased and returned to the level of $ 7k. by looking at this chart I think the bull market is not here yet. right now we are still in the bear market.

Reasons over reasons and we're all speculating what's the cause of the sudden price pumps and now that the price starts to drop again, I guess everyone will still look for the reason why the prices are like that again.

We thought of halving and also the timely issue of Iran and US potential and now that it seems that there will be no counter-attack, the price starts to get lowered. But in all of this, we don't know the actual reason behind that and we will still lean to the most factor of the prices and that's the normal cycle.

the possibility of the whale plays a role in manipulating current prices or is also caused by imlek celebrations in the near future so that market prices are not able to experience a sharp increase even tend to decrease its value again in the next few days

Despite this slow market improvement, I'd never get hopeless that it will be fine this year.
Actually, I've preferred to have a situation like this. If we could recall and for many times that the market price goes high faster and the quicker it goes down in returns just like it happens during the bullish season. We experience a few months in Bullrun but we also struggle years of bearish. And it doesn't look so good for me. Will, it hopes that it could be different this time.

I also initially thought that the rise in the price of bitcoin was triggered by the halving that would occur. it's just that, after a while of reading the information available, many speculate that the current price increase is due to a heated relationship between Iran and America. well, if this is outside halving, then the price of bitcoin will rise to a higher level if supported by halving that will soon happen.

The current retreace is indeed very healthy. Otherwise it would be to fast to early. We need to break out of the downward channel with some force or with some time. Hopefully it works out in the next 2-3 weeks.

I thought that might be the reason initially, but that situation seems to have cooled down in the past few days and bitcoin is still above $8k.  I'm not sure why any political situation would be responsible for bitcoin going up, to be honest, because it isn't as though it's a safe-haven asset like gold or silver.

I think this recent rise could be due to speculators buying in anticipation of the halving, hoping to make easy money if and when bitcoin goes up even further.  And it's odd to think about cause and effect here, because is it the halving itself that causes bitcoin to boom, or is it the speculators buying in, thinking it's going to boom and thereby causing the price to rise?  Who knows. 

I've never been one to look for explanations for market movements anyway, and if you think about it, bitcoin hasn't even gone up all that much.  It's a nice little pop, but it's nothing to get all excited about.

Of course bitcoin is not a safe and risk-prone asset. Some people also say, a big risk will generate huge profits. I dont think this would be right if the investor or trader never really knew how to do it.

True, many investors may believe that after halving the price of bitcoin will skyrocket like what happened in 2017. But who knows, because it is only speculation and there is still the possibility of contradicting the facts that will occur.

It is too early to say that the bull run already returns in my opinion, I think this is because of the impending Halving that many are surely returning, Even though we had a huge climb up of the price, in my opinion, it is just a slight pump indicating it to be a bull run already,

But I guess we can not be so choosy in giving this a shot, Still, you can surely get on to the ship and take a plunge to the wave of increasing values that is if you had financial money to spare because I think it will still go up furthermore up.

It is too soon to see such a significant impact coming from the halving, most likely what we are seeing is an attempt by the bulls to change the trend of the market, and they are very close to get their way since now the price is awfully close to the SMA 200 which is acting as a resistance, if that level is surpassed you need to prepare yourself since we could see a huge growth but if it does not happen then most likely the price will go down a little bit.

Return of a bull that never left, there are buyers every day so I think the difference is the sellers vs those buyers and the balance shifted.    Its always a strange situation as once the price does start to rise, it brings in new buyers and possibly the sellers decline so we get a grand shift from one weighting to the other side.   In BTC this happens quite alot, its a price which tends to go on runs between two quite extreme points in a range.

This is not the big trend just yet.  I dont see that, a good trend even positive must be pegged out with both highs and lows and a regular set develops into a trend of buying and rising prices persisting.   This isnt that yet, its just a break upwards starting mostly from the 50 day average.   It can run a while, on another price list for the halvening I did guess as high as 11k or more.   Now I think it might be higher but near term I expect us to sell off from a certain point of resistance when we meet it.  The reason is speculators want to sell, others are less of the price and enter more slowly hence a trend is required.

It's  part of the cycle that everybody needs to understand in order to take good benefits. With this behaviors if you able to catch up the right train then your chance of earning a lot is very possible. Bull trap is dangerous to those who doesn't have any ideas of what they are doing but for people who already know what to do, it's an advantages to take to make a winning positions.

maybe this increase can be said to be the beginning of the bull market arrived, especially for Altcoin, yes, the coming altcoin season, buy some altcoin that you deserve to hold, and at least you have to have bitcoin too

actually I also don't know for sure what causes bitcoin to continue to increase. but in my opinion there are two reasons why bitcoin has increased first, perhaps influenced by the news about Iran and America conflicts. secondly because in less than a few months bitcoin will be reduced by half. this will tend to make the price of bitcoin increase.

Definitely one of less popular views! Stretch that chart into the decade of market action and Bitcoin's in a perpetual bull run. In fact, scrape away the really weird one or two months that saw the last ATH happen, and then we're able to prune expectations and see that it's been a not-so-slow burn from 1k in early 2017 to 8k in early 2020. Higher lows every year, bottoms that keep levelling up. Definitely a bull run in my eye.

Most people say it is because of the ongoing conflict between Iran and the US some also say it could be the upcoming halving, supply, and demand, and etc., but no one really knows what exactly is the reason of the current increase in price. Bitcoin price can be affected by various factors and it not only because of one specific reason, it can be a combination that is why it is very unpredictable but regardless of it's nature bitcoin is a very good investment to invest to and in order to survive make sure you know how to ride the tide and be smart in making choices.

Well, I also believe that Bitcoin pump because of the conflict between the United States and Iran the fact that they were using Bitcoin as a safe haven but I suddenly realize maybe not. Actually, we are not sure what causes why Bitcoin pumps the fact that there a lot of factors could influence the price for instance, the nearby Bitcoin halving could be another factor. 

Not all increase is a sign of a bull run sometimes bull run doesn't show any obvious signal that its going to be in the market but you will only notice a huge difference in the price over the period of a month. Altcoin is a good investment too and if bullrun comes it will give handsome returns and of course like what you said have btc in your portfolio also.

I may say having $9k is a bull run for me...it is already far behind from $3k that we've started last year.
We already have a good start this year at $7k and moving ahead for $8k for just weeks. I may think that we've been moving far this year as halving will have a positive effect on the market price. But I'm not pursuing to see another 2017 Bullrun cause it is really hard if the support level won't move high.

What we're seeing lately was only an actual frequency of bitcoin's economic progress, only speculative information gave us an idea on bullrun but it was not certain. Although more people desires for a bullrun it it's not an assurance to get good outcome. Some instances might attract more people to buy and hold bitcoin so they'll able to gain profit when price increases at the top value.

Yes, the halving was obviously not priced in yet and this is the early pump hopefully setting up for the massive bull run within a year or two after the halving, just as usual.

Another catalyst that might bumped Bitcoin price to $8K is the US-Iran tension following Iran's General death. While it's a far off theory, it's kinda reasonable and would be a good story too, people seeing Bitcoin as store of value like gold.

If there's a bitcoin pump, people would associate that move due to the upcoming halving, hopefully there's more hype as the date is approaching.
The pump on BSV has really help the market as well, and because the hype is over, people could again invest the money to btc to make it safe since BSV is already falling. 

again today, in the top 100, dash and BSV are the biggest losers but I am sure BSV will drop more.

what I like is that so far, bitcoin is bullish and hopefully it will not change, slowly but surely, price is moving at the right direction.

the developments for this month are very impressive. I can not wait for further developments. if this month the price of bitcoin can reach $ 10k, then the potential for further increases could be higher. however, we do have a good start at the moment. if my prediction is correct, then the price could approach $ 14k before halving, and if that really happens, then the potential for high prices can really be achieved this year.
however, some altcoins have started their pumps.

Exactly, Bitcoin SV helped investors in a different way, they can invest now in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is holding the 8700-8900 price very strongly! This gradually moving of bitcoin price may bring the bull run after the halving! Experts are telling that there will be crypto bull run in July or August of this year, I assume so! Btw, it is sad that DASH price start falling down, which was not expected at this moment!

Bitcoin is not getting the real bull run, and maybe it's just a little bull run before the real bull run coming. But although it is a little bull run, the price indeed increases to the higher rate, and that makes us get the profit. Right now, the price hit more than $8900 (again), and we are still at the bullish trend, so tomorrow could be a good day to see the price can break $9000. We hope that soon, the price can hit more than $10k in this month or next month.

I don't know what actually make bitcoin price pumped, i think it is early stage of halving hype and with all other factors that make people know about bitcoin. Maybe if halving really come and can attract new investors, maybe big bull run can possibly happen far more than now.

We really don't what's behind on a sudden increase in the price of bitcoin. But, I can say maybe it just a simple fluctuation on the market. You might right that sudden changes in the price of bitcoin in the early stage for the upcoming halving. Although we still do not know what's going on the price and in the market it seems many people are now happy because of the slowly increasing of bitcoin. Do you think the whales also the reasons for these sudden changes in the price? If ever they do it and they keep on pushing it maybe we can expect that the price will hit 9000$ in the coming few days.

this is pumped by Elon Musk says one youtuber since he had seen its pattern by the time Elon tweeted "bitcoin is not my safe word", the price of BTC continue to grow. but this isn't the first time since last year Elon also tweeted ETHEREUM  in the early 2019 which during that time ETH's price also move up. quite a pattern but i guess we should all be enjoying the price movements.

Crypto keeps providing movements that not always can be described as logical and predictable. But that is how it is probably. In spite of a new high, I still stay with my bullish position. The price reached $9k resistance level , and we got a few bearish candles. It took some enery off and could confirm a price reversal. The same goes about RSI and MACD.

Another bearish signal is strong. It is a trend reversal signal which is based on a bearish divergence. If we follow it, we should expect the downward movement to $8k support, and SMAs . The downward movement will be confirmed if the price breaks the local uptrend line. And hopefully take some pressure off the market and a low to refuel the very good run we had this year.

The market stays bullish in the long run, but if we talk about the short term, I would like to be more bearish .

Maybe these are just a few coincidences in this market. And this market has grown in recent times because we are getting close to halving and people's needs have become higher than before. I also saw a lot of Elon Musk tweets talking about cryptocurrencies over the past 2 years, it seems he was very interested in this market.

Unpredictable is the answer for everything, it's quite interesting to see BTC is pumping. Well this makes people more curious on crypto currency, is the glory of crypto returning?

Guys I am desperately looking for halving if this happens I am sure we can expect good return. A bigger chance a greater return, think about it.

Dont expect much for halving to give out that destined result.Everything is unpredictable as you say and even to that big event wont give an assurance that it will boom out or would just slump the entire market.

For now we do see at least some positive side of the market.We cant point if this is already the bull run or not but seeing these recovery or numbers do give out positive boost up on investors and to the entire community.
The best way to do now is to utilize up these movements for you to make money.

Ohh, that was great but how Elon Musk does it? I don't think youtube is enough to push the market, in fact, there is a lot of adds and videos on youtube but it never works, it is a big coincidence that it only works this time. Anyway, that is how the market works...everything seems to be unpredictable and pointless what is the cause.

This is all we've got and as you've said " enjoy the price movement" its either because of upcoming halving or just because of people who keeps promoting crypto in social media may the reason for these pumps. This is all that we want, it gladly we have it now and even see a better future.

About whales, maybe it can be yes and be no. For now people still talk about it, but i never see yet there are someone who have big money appear or maybe i just not deep yet to dig information in this forum. From what i read, some people also said whales is only rumour and some others said that whales is real. But pumped by whales or not, i agree with you about many people are happy because bitcoin price pumped.

No one can say what exactly the reason is. We don't know, maybe some events, person, country, new investors, whales, etc could influence the market or maybe just a coincidence. Instead of knowing the reason behind this run, I agree, we should enjoy it because one of this days, week, or month there will be a drop. We know there's no such thing as continuous but nothing to worry about, it will recovered since we are in year they called to be the best or so they claimed.

The most talked now is the halving.
Yeah, it is getting viral. So where else could we give the reason for all this hype of demands. Yeah, the halving only.

Doubt the other reasons they are giving like trials, war or whatever a president will announce.
The bottomline is people are the ones buying it and not them and it is all about events in bitcoin not the world crisis.

If this is the return of the famous bull that evaded us for all these years, I would like to welcome it with open arms and tell it that we have missed it incredibly much. However if this is one of those increases that goes super high but falls later to a lower level, I am sorry but I really don't want it at all. All jokes aside bitcoin had a good year in 2019 with ending the year 100% profit so we can't really say that this increase wasn't foreseen, hell even just start of September we were around these numbers before a fall and I think one more time after that as well.

Being around these numbers are not enough at all, we need to go above $12k once again and try to stay there for a while, ever since the 2017 peak we have been around these numbers multiple times and it has been over 2 years now, I want to see numbers higher and not going down in the end.

what ?  what the fck    .  hahaha  ...  if only the bull run is a human , i think he will feel special with what you feel and done to him  . not only you but also on many other more users that feels the same  . 

anyway the return of the bull seems there  . btc price climb again at 9k and other coins shows an increase too especially bsv ( the biggest gainer of them all  )    .  i guess its safe to buy back now guys  .  like what im doing , i started to accumulate some satoshis    .  small satoshis will look bigger once btc climb more .

May be the major factor since it is the mainstream new at crypto space. However halving may play a huge factor here we couldn't eithet deny the fact that some small factors does contribute to such price changes. Besides halving is yet to come, so as for pump today it might be some manipulation of Whales out there to trigger FOMO because of much hype in incoming halvening.

if you feel that this is not a bull run, then the bull run should be able to make a very high price increase in a short time, it is the same as what happened to BCH SV a few days ago. however, the price increase has occurred, although it is slow, but I feel this is like a signal before the price actually increases. I quite believe that the bull run will actually take place after halving, or maybe around the end of this year

It maybe the halving event or any other reason that might possible for fall back. the rising of price this days are not safe or we should not let our guard down because it might be possible for manipulation. the halving is near to happen and manipulators will take this chances to make a move so never trust until the halving. better to make a purchase every dip.

There is a lot of rumors on halving and yes seems like it might happen as the market is turning hot slowly, we have seen this pump several times from last year but it still we need to wait patiently. Might be big whales are doing some twist in the market who knows, anyhow let's enjoy and be happy in this greenish trend.

Its still to early to speak about a new bull run when we can't even touch the 10k$ range for now so lets be real and admit that a new bull run will not come until halv happens and it will not occur until some months will pass after halv so my opinion would be that bull run will begin in q4 of 2020 and on going for all 2021. We still have 1 more year to accumulate so work hard and gather cryptos.

Right now bitcoin silently push down with lower price without any expectation before with bitcoin will going down, not one can believe with bitcoin back with lower price just few hour after several days bitcoin back to higher price from $7,600 become $9,140  and now down with $8,200 and we don't know is correction of bitcoin or not.

Bitcoin is a forever trusted cryptocurrency so the current dump is not a big issue on further days. Because Bitcoin is a volatile cryptocurrency so it will move backward or forward at anytime. The recent days was growing well so some huge investors are move to stable platform so some fluctuation will occur at shortly. I hope again it will start the rise on further days.

Well in last half of the year the price started fluctuating at last, which is good sign of some economic activity. For all unbelievers there was 100% price gain in last 1/2 year

This reminds me of a dynamic in animal behaviour where before an animal attacks they will first bluff the charge before commiting to a fight and possible injury.   I dont think this is yet a Bitcoin bull run, more of a bluff charge that could proceed the more bullish action later.    
   We'll have to see but the lows established in the last few hours I'll be watching as a tide line for direction we take next, at least short term say 8 days or so.

Probably just another correction, we have seen this behaviour in the past so I'm not really concern about it. I think the bulls is still in the market, it's that they are just taking their profits. It is start of the week again and I'm sure people are going to start investing again because we are in a correction. The price is $8600 still good in my opinion, if it falls down below $8k then its going to be alarming. Nevertheless, I'm still positive that we can go back to $9k again.

I've read some TA is this community that predicts an $9+++ run and after that, the price will slowly go down and make a correction.

So I'm expecting the market to correct itself along the way this month of January and then started to make a run again and push to $9k and at least stay there and make it sustainable. This is how the market really works, mini bull run, follow by minor correction. Bulls are here no doubt about that. But it will be a hard fought with the bears. And as traders, you need to go with the flow and adjust your trading strategy based on the current sentiments.

Actually the news of halving bitcoin this year might be one source of why bitcoin is now rising slowly again, it shows the higher demand for bitcoin, so prices can surge unexpectedly so quickly. Because indeed every dump and pump sometimes always comes without the right prediction. So just enjoy this increase while waiting for halving later.

Well, it something we need to wait for it and let us see how this halving helps for the recurring market gains. The market still shaking up and low, and the people are also in question if we run through the most awaited event or just struggling with the bearish one.

Pretty much that we are not hopeless this time and it triggers more when hearing halving will launch. There is a huge hope for crypto this and it hopes that it all be granted.
