I think yes because of recent news of bitcoin that paypal except bitcoin...
What's your opinion

You only just predicted with no speculation(s), no reason(s) you predicted bitcoin price to reach $15000 before the end of the year? If there is any, then included it. You must have a reason than to being fomo. Well, with what we are noticing recently, it is very possible bitcoin could hit $15000 before the end of this year, one of the reasons is the rate of adoption of bitcoin, we can see PayPal and many banks in the world now interested in providing crypto services in which bitcoin has been their first cryptocurrencies  to consider. With this, very possible bitcoin price will even reach all time high in 2021.

I would drop this here. From my chart analysis, I think if the month ends or closes above the yellow line there indicated or pointed by the red arrow, then we can be more certain of a bull continuation and that can lead price to $15k + but if this month closes below the described yellow line, the bear or retracing step.


But lets make an analysis of the 15k mark for this year as Op is predicting... Therefore, the reason for the possibility of a 15k, if it closes above it, we are going to be in November month and then the bull is likely to continue through the season of December because of the so many financial activities at that time, we can expect more volatility.

I may have to follow it up and post it on this thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251900.msg54524136#msg54524136

Not really confident in my analysis since I was just started trading few months ago I think if it would reach and passed the $14.5k price
it will continue to reach the $15k at the end of 2020. Still there's still 2 months left until the end of 2020 and there's a lot of things
might happen in the market.

ya.ya.yo!

Since you are just predicting why not aim higher?
We are already at $13K so it is just 2K more before your predicted price and only 2 months more before this year ends.
In those 2 months we could experience a drop or a huge pump so it is always uncertain what could the price be before the end of each year.
But it I think it is safe to say that it would be around $11-15K before the year ends.

Yes it is possible for the bitcoin to reach the 15k dollars before end of 2020 and my highest prediction is 20k dollars and I think it will happen because the value of the bitcoin now is more than 12k dollars and it's only 3k dollars beforit reach to that value and maybe next month will see that ealier because the movement of the bitcoin in the past few weeks is fast.

Could be possible but not only because of PayPal integration to crypto accepting Bitcoin. I don't think there is a huge impact on the market, in fact, some big companies had already been accepting Bitcoin ahead of PayPal but never sees such a thing. If we are able to reach $15k this year it is because people are buying more on Bitcoin for investment, the market pulse surging high causing the price to fluctuate unexpectedly.

Anyway, I love seeing people truly positive on the incoming, and we all love it to see the price moving high but then, we should be careful buying this time. We can't neglect any possibility for the declines after the hype.

Bitcoin is selling a little above $13,000 this moment meaning it has dropped from $13,500 it opened. Fluctuation of bitcoin price is what really makes it difficult to speculate accurately on. This is not a good time to make mistake because a mistake made now can be a pain for a long time. I see that price can move any way from this season coming to an end.

The price the OP is talking about may happen in the next 24-48 hours, but there is also a chance that there will be a correction that would return the price to the level where it was before this pump ($11 000). Today's highest price was over $13 800, and the current one is just around $13 000, so daily changes can very easily reach $1000 to $2000 very easily.

What I think is realistic by the end of the year is the price between $14k and $15k, which would be about a 100% increase over the last halving - and the same thing happened in late 2016 after the halving. I hope that all this is just a good introduction to what awaits us next year, which we will hopefully be able to call the year of the big bull run and even bigger BTC adaptations.

There are more than 2 months to the end of 2020. Bitcoin price is at the level of $13500. I think it will go above $15000 easily until the end of this year. In fact, I think it will be at the level of $15000 before the end of November.

What you are just saying is pure speculation as the news about Paypal won't really affect the demand for Bitcoin that much. I also said recently in another post that Bitcoin is increasing in terms of price but if you look at the volume of it you will see that is is decreasing meaning that we aren't really that bullish. With the current conditions Bitcoin has I even doubt that we will be holding 13,000$ since we don't really have a strong base.

The prices tend to move upwards and it reached $13500 this week after the announcement of giant PayPal involvement in cryptocurrency and Soutasia' s largest bank DBL accept crypto payments.Despite the major price climb this month, bitcoin and ethereum markets are expected to be volatile at the end of the week, as a great number of options are set to expire on October 30. The professional data and analytics firm Skew.com discussed the situation on Twitter on October 25.61k bitcoin options are set to expire this month which amounts to $750 million which is huge amount so we can see downward movement in prices and that's why I am not sure prices can reach $15k by this year's end but hope for the best and stay positive being optimistic about it.

What you are saying is just a prediction about the price of Bitcoin. We do not know what kind of change will take place in the market as a result of this news, we may see positive results of the market and we may also see negative results.

This is just a speculation. But if Bitcoin can finish 2020 above $15000, it will be a very good year. Because of this we will see big changes in the market next year. Which direction the market will go depends on the demand, many times even after the big news is out, there is not much change in the market.

this is the FOMO that we have all been expecting as soon as the price rise began. i don't think it is because of paypal although it may have had some catalyst effects to get the rise started.

the FOMO has gotten big too, it is so much that even the transaction fees is seeing a big spike and it has gone over 200 satoshi/bytes which is pretty high since there are lots of people buying bitcoin and pulling it out of exchanges.

i think it is even possible to see $20k be tested very soon.

When everyone see that btc is pumping they will say bitcoin will cross $15k soon. One reason why btc pumps is due to paypals acceptance of cryptocurrency on thier platform.  But for me bitcoin will be heading up to $20k by the end of the year.

It seems likely from the current trend that Bitcoin will continue to keep going up for the rest of the year. I think there is a bit of a spike due to uncertainty surrounding the American election - we won't really know what will happen until that major event is over. Lots of rich people and asset managers are trying to diversify as much as possible at the moment. Once the current second wave of Covid is over around the world it will also provide a bit more clarity and economic recovery - when people tend to me back into stocks instead of assets like gold/bitcoin.

If Bitcoin crosses the mark of $15k in couple of weeks hen Bitcoin can easily reach $20k by the end of this year else it might be pushed to next year as you have rightly mentioned the current Bitcoin pump is in fact the result of PayPal's acceptance of crypto currency but how long this impact will last? What if whales decides to cashout before the end of the year? It's still skeptical and bit esrly to predict much

Possibly yes or no! There's only two answers in this question because market is really unpredictable.We might be seeing some price rally now but doesnt mean that we would
be heading on that price in fast pace but this is a better or a realistic guess rather or compared to those who do talk about ATH or even more.They are just really been
tagged along too much with the current movement.Its not a new thing yet market can rise up in $1000-2000 in a single day.As a trader or investor then
you should be wise on making out decisions if you do make out shorts but for those who are longing for ATH's then buying now wont really be
that a bad idea.Lets utilize up these movements for us to make money.

In my opinion, I'm also thinking about $15k. For bitcoin, it is possible to cross $15k at the end of this week. As no new news from other sources, paypal is the main reason here.

I am sure that by the end of the year, Bitcoin's price will exceed the $15k level.
From Bitcoin's historical charts, we can see that its price started to rise very quickly around 6 months after the halving. As we all know the last halving was 5 months ago so I expect that another bull run will start in November. I hope the price will not only cross $15k, but will reach new ATH in 3 months ;)

There are many reason for bitcoin price reach 15k or even more than that. As you mentioned paypal now is accepting bitcoin for for their service and also you can see at this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5284970.0 that now Toyota is already to create its digital currency for their company. These are a good news for crypto currency at the end of this year.

Also, we can see bitcoin price yesterday that has reached $13400 barrier on binance exchange. It means we just need $1500 to reach $15.000 and seem like if this a good trend still continue we can see it at the end of this week. But we can't rely on it, there will be many possibilities to make this uptrend market will change. As we all know, if there is a bad news come or something bad happened we will see bitcoin's price will dump a lot.

I think it is brilliant move and will bring more money into the market that's definitely push bitcoin $15k by the end of the year. Paypal news just of one trigger that works temporary, we need more strong reason to see bitcoin market such level. Hopefully, we'll achieve it until the end of 2020.

Bitcoin price may cross 15k dollar before the end of this year but I think it won't stay above there for so long. The recent price movement of bitcoin is really surprising! If it continuously flows like this then we will see a new ATH of bitcoin price within this year. But as Lucius said we might see a correction in crypto price soon. And in my opinion we may see a dramatic movement of bitcoin price within the first half of next month.

I don't think $15K is significant and its also not really a resistance area. Currently the resistance areas are $13.8K which was high from 2019 and maybe $16K area which was the weekly resistance before the all time high of $20K.

Its a round number but its not as significant as $10K. Just like if BTC breaks $20K, then $30K won't be as significant as $50K, or $100K. Hence I wouldn't bet anything on the $15K figure.

If we break the $14K area we might head straight into $16K area however with the election coming up who knows what will happen.

We still have 2 months later to see if bitcoin can cross $15k at the end of this year or need more time to reach that price in the next year. But I think it could be possible for bitcoin to break $15k this year, especially if there is a good news release that can lift bitcoin price to break $14k and $15k. We know that the bitcoin price can increase anytime without waiting for the end of this year, so we can wait for more and buy bitcoin if we want.

We can draw or predict that will happen, but we don't know the truth about what will happen at the end of this year. Perhaps, we will see the uptrend and downtrend happen at 2 months later, and we need to be careful because the drops can come into the market without notice. This time, bitcoin needs to have more support to increase and break $14k because that is the next higher price that bitcoin price needs to touch. We will see it later.

Seems like it will not mate because now we are dropping back to $12,000 because Bitcoin price decreased 500$ as i type this post.
and also 15k is too large for this Year alone we need to see the Bull before considering that hype mate and more or less will happen next year and not this one.
Not unless if there are high demand though i'm sure whales will not move this high for now.
specially that US election is near to come and surely the market will move up and down.

All these speculations and predictions is very risky especially for newbies or new investors, some people are carried away with present pumped in price of Bitcoin and not knowing that btc can also  retrace and dump massively as well. the price had dumped from $13800 to $12900 just within 24 hours and could further go down as well.
Adoption of Bitcoin by PayPal had an impact on the price already and I believe the dust had settled thus price hitting $15K is not guaranteed yet.

for the big rallies to start, sometimes all that is needed is a little push to get the rises started by bringing in the money that has been waiting on the sidelines to see a positive signal before jumping in. this is happening now, whether this was because of Paypal news or not is irrelevant in my opinion, the only thing that matters is that the momentum is here now.

Correct its news of a future tie up not actual demand afaik, you want to really move a price I think it will take more then speculation by itself and paypal is a rise in anticipation of expected movement and greater demand.    Of course we could be rising now from prior events like halvening some think accumulates into price rises, thats possible or more probable as its an actual change building over time in its effect.

The current support is around $13k, if we can maintained it in mid-November and then see the price picking up in the $14'ish, definitely $15k is doable at the end of the year. And as long as we will see positive news in the market and new blood pumping the price again, then there is a good chance. But the main hurdle for now is the US election, because I believed that it can cause some minor and short term negative effect on crypto sphere.

It may happen because speculation is still rolling about the news that payapl allows bitcoin but still not all demand will increase but at least this is good news where there is a lot of adoption of bitcoin with big companies.
With the bitcoin price of $ 15k at the end of the year it might happen as resistance is still visible with the existing moves I am sure the highs will definitely strengthen given the bull market conditions.

Well, a lot of good news spreading lately with bitcoin and I think others are still accumulating some at this stage of price. Anyone could predict, so once the movement leads above $14k it is a positive note in 2 months time bitcoin may cross $15k. Let's see what price will hit this coming months since market is volatile and no one could gives detailed information about the market status.

The way it climbed from 11-13k if the same pattern continues then we might be talking about 20k next month but being realistic I think the price boost already happened that is a big thanks to PayPal but now I don't expect much of a increase in price until the end of the year so yeah 15k is genuinely possible but the chances are that there will be a small dip as always followed by a boost and then we should settle somewhere around 13k until a late surge this year might bring it close to 14k.

That's just my estimation and I have been often tricked by bitcoins gladly so I won't be too surprised if I am wrong by at even 3-4k USD value. When the price rises everyone earns no matter if they hold big or small so technically we all hope that the price goes as high as possible but we have to be realistic when analyzing prices.

Correct! it's really risky for those who are just following the speculations of other people, without proper research newcomers are prone of losing their money in the short period of time.


The volatile nature of bitcoin will bring big losses when fomos rush in to ride and whales easily move and dumped their coins, it's needed to analyze everything before taking your side.

It's not impossible that we will see the price in that level if more progress and adoptions
take place, PayPal did the impact and expect if more to come then value might be more
higher than expected.

I think 15k is less than expected. market is quite bullish at the moment. I wish some part of money would go to major altcoins as well till end of the year so we can talk about an alt bull as well.

Basically, the current handwriting's on the wall by Bitcoin shows that it price at the end of this year can surpass the aforementioned price above, becasue the last time Bitcoin hit all time high this year was almost at $14k. The good news coming into the technology can make anyone predict the price of Bitcoin to be more pretty high than before, PayPal accepting the buy and sell of Bitcoin is a plus which will get Bitcoin a good bullish thread before and after the year end. 

There's a possibility that it will crossed the $15 k mark the PayPal news is one of the news that contributed why the price is moving upwards and it's not only that, people are buying because of the halving, they know that history will be repeating itself and the first quarter of the year is the period that Bitcoin will reach another all time high.

With PayPal industry coming into the world of cryptocurrency will make it a huge success for adoption and this has been awaited for. They are allow to buy and sell Bitcoin among it investors and we all know that they have large numbers of investors. This will on a long term help cryptocurrency to be adopted among users of PayPal. Personally, this will be a sure way that the world will soon adopt digital currency and Bitcoin will observe bullish for profit taking.

Either because paypal or not bitcoin price will definitely go up and will close this year at least close to 20k or at least will be around 15k-20k. If history and its pattern repeat itself it seems easy for bitcoin to continue to rise even though slowly but at least there is still time to hit the previous ATH at the end of the year because the speculation about the new ATH it will touch should be a big move from now on.

I also think that we can talk about exceeding the $15k level as something completely certain until end of December, maybe even in November. There is also enough time until the end of the year to reach the new ATH, but I'm not so sure about that. My opinion is that $20k should be achieved within 2 - 4 months. What will happen next is hard to say, but $50k in 2021 is very real in my opinion.

$50k in next year is quite not convincing since even by know the price struggling to reach up at $20k or maybe at $15k so maybe let's just count on the small figure and dropping that is much believable rather than expecting for something unreal things. But if that prediction will came true then provably many investor will earn huge number of money.

I feel the same.

I was a bit bearish earlier this year and predicted that we'll stay below 12000 until the end of the year but I did not take the PayPal news into account. I guess nobody did.

Last week I had a friend who has not asked me about BTC since 2018 call me to tell me that he's thinking of buying bitcoin again. It's an obvious sign of FOMO on the market.

news about Bitcoin being traded on Paypal is a breath of fresh air for all Bitcoin lovers.  Paypal is a large company that has millions of active users, this news, of course, this interest those who are very curious about Bitcoin. I personally predict Bitcoin price will cross $ 15k in the near future (before 2020 ends)..

I will agree, fomo is everywhere around, we can feel it in the air! And I am sure that price will cross $15k, eventually, but is it now? The price made a nice candle, and for me it's natural to think about downfall after we see the price rising for weeks! I am thinking about the top of this rise, and my max sell order is at $14.1k, but I don't think we are going there in this run, I think the top is under $14k and the price will drop once again before it's skyrocket and cross $15k, which can happen in December! But in the end we can never know what is coming, it's on us to try to predict it and make profit on that!

Get your hopes high, we have chances to reach new all time hogh for the bitcoin in this year since we are already near $14,000 and we have 2 months left in this 2020 so probably we can reach that high if the trend keep follows.

Looks like bitcoin is having a tiny bit of correction, or we could even say that it already happened as well. We didn't break over $14k so far, which was the price to beat when we were going up, the best we saw was around $13.8k for a short burst in some places and usually $13.6k was the price for a while, which dropped as low as $13k but didn't went under that (maybe in few places but not on average) and right now it already went back above $13.2k once again.

This shows us that, buyers tried to buy as much as possible and made it go up as much as they can, that is one part of the calculation, but also sellers tried to sell and the correction happened but it didn't went under $13k neither, so right now we are at a place where sellers can't make it under $13k but buyers can't make it over $14k, let's see which one will restart back again.

Thanks to Paypal? That's it?  ;D
There is a lot of reason out there for Bitcoin to go up in price and it will just be Paypal who could make a big difference?
I think it's just hype.
In weeks, we will see it calm down and I hope bitcoin will remain as to how it is now.
More like the new bottom is 13.5k. Yeah, that looks better.

If it was just a hype then why you set 13500 us dollar as the new bottom , it doesnt  makes any sense for me
Paypal did has a major part in the recent price surge,  let it drive the market even only for a while.
We are trying to approach 14000 and looks like the attempt will last for weeks from now
As moving 1000 us dollar or 2000 us dollar in single day for bitcoin it was too easy, lets upgrade the expectation by set a resistance at 20000 us dollar? By the end of the year? That is very possible.

Anything is likely to happen, the market will talk later. If demand is more than supply then it does not close the possibility that bitcoin later this year could reach $15K. Bitcoin is the future, for that Paypal adopts bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Investing in bitcoin is one of the best options for this moment.

Or thanks to those who FOMO as well, LOL, Yes, Paypal made a big difference, but it's just the start, maybe it set the precedence for more companies to join the party and not to missed the potential profits by investing this early.

More like $13,000 will really be a support, until we break the next level and then eventually goes to $15,000 because that's what everyone wanted to see at the end of the year.

I wouldn't mind even seeing more than that though, but I don't want to be greedy and let the market take it's normal course of $14,000-$15,000 run and start 2021 with a good price.

Those who buy because of FOMO when the news of PayPal integration come out will not regret it, Bitcoin will now keep moving up the chart cannot lie it really is moving up, and there's a big possibility of reaching $15k before the end of the year, I just hope the features will start right away i can't wait to buy stuffs using Cryptocurrency through Paypal.

Paypal hype is over already and the final price is at near $13,000.
Reaching $15,000 by the end of the year is still possible though since it is my prediction too :D.

In order for this to happen, it need another catalyst again or at least another big news as big as the Paypal hype in order for it to reach that price. I'm not saying that this will not happen but the chances of it to happen are like 40-60.

Your thoughts on bitcoin I think most likely happen and also by the end of 2020 bitcoin will likely surpass $ 15k.

You can see a lot of good news and big activities going on in 2020, I am very interested in the time of bitcoin having. I also think countries are racing to enter this market through the release of their own digital currencies, and it will be a race that offers competition that we can't yet. It's determined that it's good or bad for this market.  ;D ;D

It could but we couldn't be so sure about it since the price could also drop down as we have seen so many times before.
It has stayed now on $13K who knows what would happen next it could go down again in $12K or move up to $14K nobody could guaranty that it would only climb up.

Paypal hype is not "over" these type of things do not have short bursts and they are gone, these type of things have a bit of hype about the news for a while and it does increase the price (which we are still above $13k so it is still going on) but it also has a long lasting affect as well. Things like Bakkt got a lot of attention and increased the price but went down a bit later but still spend money on bitcoin so they are still buying bitcoin which makes it go up, or look at bitcoin halving, sure it made it go from $7k to $10k but it also still doesn't mine the full amount, it is still halved so it still affects the price because there is less sellers which makes the price go up.

So same with here, paypal news made it go up, and maybe it won't skyrocket from here on out, but paypal is still there and still accepts bitcoin, so it is not over, it will have a long term affect on crypto.

There are more possibilities according to the market situation as the momentum is moving up we can expect to 15k but still it depends, Some big digital marketing companys are pitching to crypto currency is a great sign for positive trend let's wait and see how it goes.

Also I believe PayPal entering to crypto will definitely boost the market, one thing for sure is crypto is booming and has a bright future.

2020 is quite interesting with people getting stuck within the homes. During this year lot many things have changed, nature has healed itself with very little toxins released to the atmosphere. Humanity have survived with people helping one another understanding the difficulties.

Endless changes have taken place, so is with crypto market. When entire world suffered economic downturn crypto market bounced. This is the goodness with crypto market this year. Along with this we've seen slow and fluctuated growth reaching barriers. Finally it has crossed $13000, and two months left to end 2020. Upon this we can hope for $15000.

Well, I hope that PayPal could help to make it possible despite the huge market competition. The current momentum makes so well, market resistance finds it good and clicking. $15k from the current position haven't not far away, possibilities are there very close but as you've said, it depends, can't still give assurance due to its volatility.

What I was asking, for now, is that new investors won't get easily topped into FOMO. Whales might manipulate this someday causes some decline and might pushed new investors as well to start selling off their Bitcoin.

Yes, we won't be able to guess exact price but i think bitcoin has enough time to reach this goal. If bitcoin starts to rise then 1 month is a lot of time where still it have 2 months.

we will see Bitcoin trying to break the resistance at $ 15000, but indeed it is quite difficult considering the current situation,
the market is very valotile, I think a lot of traps, bull traps or bear traps will be a contest .

Feels the traps are just normal a reason why we should be careful in dealing with those people promoting investment. That volatility had never changed since from the very start, we've seen the current momentum is really good but that not be confidently it stays like that until the end of this year. $15k is almost at reach, we say that 100% we can achieve it but if we think about how the trend moving, there is a huge possibility that it will be reached.

Yeah, its just normal to see those traps, falling knives etc, that's part of the market ecosystem. Others take advantage of it, while some just take a back seat and see how it goes. Well, we can see it happen this year, when the price goes down to $3k, there are a lot of traps along the way, but in the end, bitcoin just manages to overcome it, and now going to at least $15k at the end of this year.

There's a high possibility that we can reach $15k value by the end of this year.

If the price only experience minor correction and still increasing after that then we can expect a good price. This might be due to the recent paypal news that affect the price of bitcoin, we know if there's a good news circulating it has an impact to the market.

Anyways we still have two months before this year end and during that period there are many things that can still happen so lets manage our expectation.

Many people would consider 15k a hype event, its not a ATH but it does mean 2020 despite an avalanche of negatives somehow turned out a higher price then 2019 managed and then built on it.   I thought people might appreciate this chart trend I drew unintentionally it matches up with the 2017 high and appears as we have just beaten this negative trend or mindset in play since that time.   I didnt mean to draw it that way, I was zoomed in but on the large weekly bars there it nearly touches both events both near and 3 years ago.  ie. we could rise alot if the graph reflects the market in bias, etc.

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/06/12/AcBv2.png

^ Yes, it's could a hype event, because we haven't seen $15k for a long time and closing at that price at the end of the year? Definitely, everyone will get excited about it. Pretty sure that everyone will appreciate your graph, yes it could be perfect, we all know, but at least we have something to glance upon or look back when we hit $15k or more. I myself have predicted that starting October will be big for us, it's just a matter on what price bitcoin will end in 2020.

You have done the same thing by your prediction of $20k by the end of the year lol  ;D But the reason for those prediction is that bitcoin is getting positive news and positivity is a good sign for increase. As bitcoin is now accepted in palpay platform, it means  that more of the people who are using palpay also will include bitcoin use. Buying of bitcoin will also increase with this and demand will increase, certain for price to fly up soon.

I doubt that we are ever going to have anything like that 2017 increase but 2020 has been great for crypto. Not because our real lives outside is doing any better because pandemic is still going on and unfortunately governments did the lockdown thing and it worked yet stopped for some reason, so now everyone is out there because "economy must continue" and getting sick again, we are having huge spikes of death numbers once again.

So, I believe outside world will not get better. However this caused a ton of digital and technological improvements in crypto world, higher adoption, paypal, defi, and many other things that made tons of profit in the crypto world and that is why I think 2020 has been incredible so far. From 3.6k bottom of the year to 13.8k of the peak, it is incredible how amazing we have gone up in a bad financial year for almost everything else.

With current scenario it is at present 13500$ so anything if it can cross 14 price level then I am hoping it can soon touch 15k as well. But first is that will it cross 14 k or before that we may see some correction happening as some profit booking might happen before festival seasons. So let’s see but hoping to see it 15k by year end.

As said, there'll be some price fluctuation for some time before crossing big barriers. It took long time to explore reach $13000, before reaching the market it was into fluctuation between limited price. Maybe the same pattern of market movement can happen before reaching $14000. Anyhow the market is in good phase to grow, so there is maximum chances of $15000 by the end of Dec 2020.

There is a chance that bitcoin will reach its $15,000 price before or after this year of 2020 because bitcoin's price is now in a range of $13,893, so it's now close enough for bitcoin's price to reach $14K-$15k. There is also a possibility that bitcoin's price will fall again after it touches $14K because some will definitely sell some of their bitcoin holdings, then bitcoin will pump up its value too, either it will stay in a range of $14,000+ price or not.

At this point it's not a question of if but when. We've just established a new yearly high today, so the uptrend is very strong. With 14k broken there's really nothing between 14 and 15 k that could be a resistance. The only thing that could stop us from going above 15 k in the next 2 weeks is a big and unexpected whale dump. We're in uncharted waters now, as anything close to a resistance at this point is at 17k.

If the price can increase step by step, we will see bitcoin price will touch $15k, and maybe that will happen before the end of this year.
But we need to be careful of the volatility of the price that will always happen. Besides that, we need to be ready if the dump can come anytime.
We need to wait for a while because the price is still trying to break $14k.

In this position, I think we need to analyze more to find what we need to do because it seems the price is unpredicted where it will go.
Don't forget to make a backup plan or strategy if the market turns in a direction that we don't know to adjust our strategy to the current situations at the market.

Its already got a huge bull run and kissed the 14k$ in several times .Its a great chance to reach the 15k$ at the end of this year .Its really true that the Paypal news has made the changes of the trend strongly bow its going through it .However its a great chance in upcoming year as well to get the new ATH level  .

I wouldn't agree, we haven't seen any huge bull run and although the price is rising it's quite moderate and it's hard to tell for how long is this going to last
15000$ is possible but I don't think this will happen by the end of this year. To my opinion another correction is possible and price might pull back below 12000$.

Bitcoin almost touched the  14,000$ area yesterday, but it bounced back a bit. If Bitcoin crossed the  14,000$ threshold and stabilized for some time, it could rise to  15,000$ at the end of the year.
Of course, Paypal's acceptance of bitcoin in its dealings had a significant impact on the rise in the price of bitcoin, but the analysis cannot be based on this thing alone, there are many things that affect the price, and bad news can happen from here until the end of the year, leading to a decrease in the price of bitcoin.
Anyway, we hope that happens. Let's wait and see.

Bitcoin just cross $14K in less than 2 weeks after breaking $13K so I guess it is possible and we don't even need to wait that long for it to cross $15K if things would continue to go.
But right now it is back on $13,800 so maybe the same thing could happen after reaching $15K it would go back to $14K.

$15K is something we should not even worry about, it is something that will happen without a doubt and I believe it will be before 2020 as well but if not it will be a little later than that yet it will happen anyway. I know price of bitcoin has gone up so much and I know that the old saying is "buy low, sell high" and that is why buying right now when the price is high is not a good idea according to many people.

However I believe this increase is just the start, with the November and December months we are going to actually see price going above $15k and even see $20k+ prices as well, which is why I believe buying bitcoin right now is not a bad idea. Do not go all in with all of your money in bitcoin, because it may reverse, but if you could go in a bit it would be profitable for you in the long run.

The acceptance of PayPal is one of the huge reasons on why we can provably see that figure and also I believe the halving effect still happening and also people hasn't forget yet the bull run so provably we can cross to $15,000 or even more. And I will be surprise if we can reach up for the past ATH since for sure next year will became another level with bitcoins since it leave a good track for this year.

It has a minimal effect because only limited countries can use that feature and I read that you cannot send it to other wallet it's like we are only dealing with numbers not transactions on the blockchain, correct me if I'm wrong, there's big news coming hopefully that will give the market a big boost, the momentum is still there because of he halving.

True talk mate, there will be a contest with Bitcoin before the breakthrough into the $15k, though this huddles shouldn't be much if everything went well before and after the US election. This event will be that which is likely to determine the true nature of the market, but let be rest assure that, there will be bull-traps among other obstacles before Bitcoin victory. Hopefully we see this altitude in the coming days or months before the end of year 2020.

Everything is possible with bitcoin nowadays. A few years ago it also rose from $ 8000 to $ 17000 in a few weeks / months during this period. It could just be that this will happen again.
In any case, it will be nice months to see what will happen. The upward trend has now started with the price increase.

I think Paypal effect is huge. And also I think the effect of Paypal control wast amount of peoples Bitcoin will be hge in upcoming years. They will be able to drastically manipulate Bitcoin exchange market. 

Yeah I agree with that but always expect the unexpected because any FUD news would stir the price back down to $10k. So far the trend is going bullish perhaps $15k within this year is possible without some market manipulation.  And in my opinion also it would pump within this year but I don't know what level it would tend to stop. I'm currently waiting for the price correction to hit though since the market is moving faster than its casual movement then that would be a great opportunity to buyback for the upcoming bull run.

I am sure 15k is coming this year for 100% sure because already we are close to that and it would take a small bump to reach that amount. I have actually seen guys making noise about the all-time high prices already on telegram groups and some articles are now rolling out about the same.

I don't jump on the hype train but I do believe that the price in coming months might surprise everyone because there is so much happening in the crypto world right now from PayPal to DeFi and almost everything seems to have a positive impact and in fact some believe that the pandemic also left a overall positive impact on Bitcoin prices, which I am not sure is true but really the price suggests that we are into a bull run nonetheless.

You know the investors are very smart and they are not easily moved by the FUD now a days and no matter what one does they cannot bring the price of bitcoins to 10k or anywhere close to that amount. Gone are those days when people could spread some fake news and bring the price down. There are big companies and massive amount of investors so it is not possible now, evident from the Plustoken scam how it bring the market down but only for a small period of time and it came back even stronger than before.

The coming next year we might have a big pump in prices once the threat of corona virus is over and the market comes to the usual movement because I have read various articles how stock market investors had to sell their bitcoins and other digital assets to maintain equity in the stocks market so all those investments will come back soon when market is normal.

Prices don't go in a straight line so expect that there will be retracement and pullbacks that may happen, there is currently a parabolic move in the bitcoin and for me it is a sign of weakness if there will be no consolidations that may happen to the price. If there will be a long consolidation above $14,000 levels then there is a high possibility that the price may reach $15,000 and even more. There is currently hype in the cryptocurrency market and it is the reason why a lot of investors have an eye on bitcoin. The buying pressure is still high and it is the reason why the price is keep moving up.

It can be YES or NO, nothing else and we can't sure about since we don't have the closest clue to it. if you think about $15k then keep it and be positive because me, I'm not positive though. No, I don't think about it, that seems unpredictable, we are clueless and everything can be possible. But I don't want to keep believing as well for a huge surge, I was preparing myself for the dump and to invest more.\

The trend has changed by now...

Prices do go in straight line at certain periods of time though, I know that in the long run there is no coin or anything in the world that could constantly make you money without a loss (except maybe bank savings interests) but at the same time there is nothing impossible about bitcoin going up non-stop for like a week or even a month. Sure it could drop afterwards but that doesn't mean it won't go up even further now before that happens.

This is the reason why I think it is still not too late to buy bitcoin, specially at these prices because the price of $14k was broken and it will be tried again very soon I am sure, and if we can break it again I am 100% sure $15k will be tested as well. People always act too late when it comes to buying, I hope they wouldn't be this time around.

In any market, there's no such thing as a parabolic rise, bitcoin has proven this and although we are close to $14k-$15k, it might take some time to achieve this and definitely there will be retracements and pullbacks along the way. And right now, we can't get over $14k, there seems to be a big wall in front, so expect a wild price fluctuations, not unless we have some news again like the Paypal hype or more institutional money flowing in. We need to wait for that $15k.

Right this moment there is alot of doubt which suggests we are in anticipation maybe building momentum for the event news or just generally confirming volume of buyers in the last push to this price.   Any move up will get some selling, apprehension and distraction from what people hoped would be a positive build into the year end is natural when we cant know if dollar will gain or lose this week in a significant way.   I cant see why 14k should halt rather then 15k exactly except for the basic idea of some gravity that as we go higher further energy is required and continued buying to justify the price hence lower dollar index would aid us.

The market price is not certain. It moves a lot which makes it hard to make predictions. The market price at this moment is indeed close to the market value in this topic but possibilities are possibilities. There is a chance for further price increase but there is also a tendency for its market value to fall in a sudden.The market price could also be "stabilized" at a certain price mark points. Waiting therefore is indeed more advisable. There's still more than a month in order for changes to occur in the world economy and we have to wait on its reflection in this industry.

We will reach that level, this is also my prediction honestly before the year end and if bitcoin was able to sustain its level above $13k-$14k then I’m sure we will hit that $15k level again and maybe welcome a great new year with great prices. Many big businesses are show a sign to adopt cryptocurrency, they already knew that this market is a big thing so they can’t afford to miss riding the trend.

They had already saw that big companies specially like Paypal had already reconsidered on putting up Bitcoin which means they are already aware and might consider it or not in upcoming years
or months to come. $15k might sound too near but we would be needing another adoption news or positive ones to drive the market even way more higher. $15k is somehow realistic
compare to those people who had been saying that it can reach ATH for this year which is really impossible.Breaking  every 1000 price isnt really that easy to be done.
We would see lots of price volatility and corrections along the way.People shouldnt really be on haste.

We are not looking awesome right now, we tried to break over $14k and managed it for a tiny period and went down, I was happy with the $13.8k or even $13.6k levels but we are now at $13.4k, which is a bit worrying to me. If the price reached to $14k and broke over it and corrected itself to $13.4k that would have been normal, because there needs to be a correction whenever we reach to a new high for a period and $14k was a new high for like past 2.5 years or so, which is why going down was something I totally understand.

However what I do not understand properly was the fact that bitcoin went back to $13.8k first and not $13.4k , after that it went down a bit more and a bit more and basically just slowly went down instead of correcting right away. Does that mean we stop now, or will it continue to slowly go down?

we have crossed $14,000 recently and we still have almost 2 months to go so i think its a yes.

Market is staying Strong this couple of months so what we are waiting is 20k$ again before the Year ends or at least first quarter of 2021.

It is possible that bitcoin really can break the resistance at 14K... Look how many FUDs from Asia about the closure of various exchanges, and bitcoin is still rising in price! So it is possible that at the end of the year we will be able to see the price above 15K... The main thing is that nothing happens to the world markets after the US elections!

It looks like we wouldn't need to wait any longer we are just $81 short before it finally cross $15K again.
So the next question is would it continue to reach higher,Sustain to it's current price or drop down?
Would we see a new ATH before this year ends?

yes, I saw it, bitcoin at $14,900 like a minute ago on preev but then drop to $14,800.
Bitcoin may reach $15K in the near future or maybe today.
Not sure who, where, or which exchanges got a huge influx of money from investors buying bitcoin, but it's close to reaching that mark.
Some technical analysis I've been following gets it in the right frame.

It is looking increasingly likely with the recent spike, some attribute that to the current turmoil around the Presidential vote in the USA. However I cannot see it subsiding with the increasing popularity and it looks like a new surge is currently happening. Bitcoin is so volatile, I certainly wouldn't want to bet my house on it breaching the $15k mark this year - it could just as easily drop back to $10k.

Just did: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5286930.0

if the OP will revisit his thread, he will realised that he doesnt need to wait at the end of the year to experience the $15k mark of BTC. high likely that before this month ends, we will see btc to reach $16-17k. which by the way, is not very far from 20k. the ATH of btc.
seems that we will be having a good year in crypto regardless of the pandemic that the global population are experiencing.
 and the good part here - the price is increasing because adoption is real. unlike the 2017 hype, where most buyers didnt even have the clue what theyre doing. i guess, the reason today is far better and solid.

The price of bitcoin has reached more than 16K although it doesn't last long, and currently bitcoin prices tend to stay in the range of 15K.
most likely ATH will occur towards the end of the year gradually, and I am optimistic that 2021 is the best year for bitcoin and this year I call it the year holding bitcoin to welcome the highest prices next year.

Well there you have it, your speculation made through. Right now Bitcoin is hovering around $15k it almost even hit a $16k mark and there's no sign of a bubble.
If this continues there's no doubt that Bitcoin might get its new ATH within this year. Also, I had a thought that 2021 will be a good year for crypto don't you think? Most of the large companies are now seen the potential of Bitcoin and other cryptos, they are now trying to invest with so I think we're having a blast next year

The price of BTC has reached over 16k and I suppose BTC will keep its value from 16.5k to 17.5k by 2020 year end. That will work well as what we have expected when we begin the 3th bubble circle after the 2013 and 2017 bubble.

Bitcoin has crossed $16,000 USD once again but then again failed to hold long. However, It's great sign bitcoin having good condition and we can experience bitcoin rally to $17,000 USD. In the long term it will go up and up. Looking forward how much we could reach by the end of 2020.

Bitcoin is found to have good resistance above $15000. Today price of bitcoin crossed $16000, but this didn't last for much longer time period. Over the ongoing weekend we can expect the price of bitcoin once again cross $16k and gain resistance to move forward. From the growth we've been experiencing over the last few months there is good stability and gradual rise.

Yeah, it did, surprised to see bitcoin finally breaking another big resistance of $16k, but we will have to see if this is sustainable or just another fake break out. And I thought that we are already in weekends so for me, it might not maintained at this price, probably next week will bring a clearer picture. For now let's see how it goes for that $16k, but it feels good to finally see it again after a long time.

Yes, it does.

I have read an analysis that we may get to see a higher price if the resistance would be $13k and bitcoin won't break that and go low.

As I see the price, we've just broken $16k.

Last week, crypto users were very much concerned about whether Bitcoin can break through the $ 15,000 resistance and how long it can hold such positions, but to date Bitcoin has almost doubled that figure, representing a 14% increase over the past week. But it is also worth noting that over the past 7 days, Bitcoin capitalization has increased by more than 120 billion (298 billion).

Yeah.

Looking at that perspective, bitcoin has gained that much and it's being considered as close to the top assets in the world.

Such a comparison is making another noise for it.

At the moment resistance is good, that is true, but it can also change easily.
Currently the price is slightly above 16k and that might look like it's heading towards 17k. However, corrections are possible in any moment and we have already experienced some so it will take more than just resistance for Bitcoin to keep current level and move forward.

Who still remember this prediction? It was made base on technical analysis and if we check the graph below, we see it followed up the analysis.

https://i.imgur.com/l5rKIeS.png

You see that the monthly prediction closing above the resistance confirmed the analysis very well.
I believe those that followed it have made some profit. ;D

now bitcoin is in the range of $ 22K- $ 24K far from all the predictions that have been made, maybe because this post was made a month ago, so there are changes that are not updated anymore.
the possibility of bitcoin going down again could happen even though the end of the year is a matter of days but it will not be below $ 20K, even if there is an increase it could be that bitcoin will be $ 25K.

So all possibilities are still very possible because Bitcoin behavior is starting to be difficult to know the direction and easily and the count of days can change up or down. all existing predictions must be updated again.

Again, this kind of thread is good to look back, we are just talking about $15k at the end of year, but look at where the price, around $22k-$24k and there is a possibility that we can hit $25k if we keep this momentum going and FOMO.


With the way the price moves in the last two months, everything is really possible, yes the market is still volatile, but we are in the bullish mode, so most likely there is a chance that the price can still go up at the start of next year, so $25k-$30k is attainable.

From the candle on the above chart, Bitcoin is still at the bull trend except by the ending of the year that another new trend may form from the candlesticks. For the time now, we can still enjoy more bull than the bear till the end of the month.

Its really nice to look back into these kind of threads where do talk about price which is lower on what the current we are seeing now.All people had been hoping and aiming for $15k for this year 2020
and here we are we do even reached and break the previous ATH and go to 24k price.This do proves out on how unpredictable the market is which it can anytime go into new numbers without even expecting
for it to happen.Now that we had broke the ATH then we are aiming for new heights like 30k and even some people presuming with that 100k is near.We do need lots or higher level of adoption to reach those.
Lets just patiently wait for things to happen and dont rush up into those high numbers without considering on what are the main things needed.

Thanks bro for your positive feedback on the prediction.
The price of bitcoin has really shocked many lately. People never believed it will get this high despite it is a halving year because of the covid-19 pandemic but here we see what price is. However, the price chase maybe be exhausted because of sentiment.

as you can see my prediction is almost done ;D
