Bitcoin Forum

For the first time ever, Bitcoin reached a new All-time-high (ATH) of $40k per coin. Those who held Bitcoin since 2017 (or before) would've made a lot of money by now. Unfortunately, prices have stalled as Bitcoin is stuck between the $30k - $32k range. It could be the cause of whales buying the dip to pump the price at a later time. Whatever the reason for the price drop, Bitcoin is still much more valuable than what it was a couple of years ago. If the pandemic continues to take the world by storm, we may continue to witness new ATHs in price.

All of this makes me wonder, will Bitcoin will reach $50k by 2021? If it does, 2021 will prove to be Bitcoin's biggest year with astronomical returns for early investors. Right now could be the perfect buying opportunity while Bitcoin is still in the $30k range. What are your thoughts? ???

If we take into account the fact that we are in the year after halving, and if we look at history - it would be quite realistic to expect Bitcoin to explode again this time - and if that happens, $50 000 is a very modest figure if we know that during 2017 the price went up as much as 20 times. What makes a significant difference now is the great interest from institutional investors, who seem to be betting on Bitcoin as a long-term investment.

The pandemic will certainly not end this year, we are far from getting all people vaccinated - but this should not be seen as the main reason why Bitcoin is becoming more valuable. This whole situation has actually benefited those who have a surplus of money, to the detriment of those who do not even have enough for basic living needs. The average Joe found himself out of work and bankrupt, selling everything he had, including BTC - the big players bought and locked coins in custodial cold wallets - with a lot of coins change hands in a direction that is not very good in the long run.

It is never too late for long-term investments, although it is far more profitable to do such things in the time of the bear market - and in the past 3 years there have been opportunities to buy BTC at prices below $5000 on several occasions.

There are so many factors affecting the price of Bitcoin, so we are unable to predict it. I believe Bitcoin can achieve $50K price mark by the end of the year as easily as it gained $6K after Musk's Twitter promotion.

With all of those predictions, they're doubling the $50k for which I'm also putting my hope in it but if it won't do for this year then higher than $40k is possible and also a delight. Even with the reduction of pandemic's active cases, bitcoin will continue to rise. People will learn the importance of investment and most of them will look for an investment that they can lean on although it's high risk but rewarding and not a scam which is bitcoin.

I’m going to say yes, I think the odds are heavily in favour of the price breaking $50,000 before the end of the year & probably quite comfortably in my honest opinion. We are in a massive bull run, there is institutional demand. We are going to the moon, don’t discount 6 figures $ per bitcoin.

If the crypto market, especially bitcoin can be stable, in my opinion the price of $ 50 can easily be reached by bitcoin, but on the condition that bitcoin does not increase too much this will make it easier for bitcoin to increase. because there are too many bitcoins, namely excessive errors and dump pumps, price trapping and investors becoming doubtful, maybe it should be avoided

no because bitcoin will surpass $50k by next month. it is like in January 2017 asking if bitcoin will have reached $5k by the end of 2017!
the rise is just getting started and only going up 25% in a whole year means bitcoin in that year had basically no growth at all because 25% is TOOOOOO tiny. price needs to go up at least 1000% this year to reach the intrinsic value of bitcoin and no longer be considered under-valued.

that means reaching around $400k to $500k which is also in line with all its previous rises and technical analysis also supports this. additionally extrapolation of the historical data and the logarithmic growth that bitcoin has been seeing supports this price level by the end of 2021.

Way back 2017, we had multiple spikes from the price of BTC, and during 2020 as well, hitting back-to-back ATHs, and the upcoming 2021 would definitely be the same, not only that it gained so many investors but the influence of BTC and these famous people like J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk continues to be of support and influence with cryptocurrency giving Bitcoin more exposure to people, hence, giving the platform more popularity, I honestly think it can even go beyond the $50k mark.

The way in which bitcoin price fluctuated as raised from 20k to 30 in just 2,3 week and then 30k to 40 k in very short time. I guarantee that bitcoin price will cross 50 k before april 2021.
Bitcoin price down to 30k but this is correctness which is necessary and now again bitcoin rwach 34 k and soon 40k then will move forward to 50 k in short time.

Yes it will possibly reach the price of $50,000 before year ends as some factors affecting the surge of price like what Elon Musk has done with the current market where hype is on it's track that made a pump. I know that there were more surprises in the coming days so let's see what happens.

The path of least resistance for bitcoin is on the higher side, and the cryptocurrency could more than double from its current value in 2021. I believe that bitcoin appears as a better investment opportunity than gold as of January 2021. Analysts said that it's more likely BTC to reach $50,000 per coin than retrace to the old highs of about $20,000.

Isn't it too early to make such speculations? Well, at this moment it is more likely to be speculated that the market price will be able to reach $50k of a market value at the end of this year since what happened recently, is still fresh in our minds, when Bitcoin reached its ATH. But things will be different as months are passing by this year wherein we will be having idea whether the price would be able to recover or not, given that there are also negative assumptions as to what happened before, way back 2017, wherein the market price of it remained in the low end for more than a year.

A few months ago, I thought it was something highly improbable for Bitcoin to reach $40k. I thought it's something that might happen years from now, but definitely not months. Now that this point was already reached, I feel like $50k is a very realistic threshold not only till the end of 2021, but something we can see till the end of winter, actually.
As for the pandemic, though, its effect on the price is not likely to always be positive, as the initial effect was a very negative one. If something unexpected happens once again, the price might explode like it did before, so we have to stay cautious.

In the past few days we saw bitcoin position. Today bitcoin again pump. In the last year of 2021 i am going to say yes, bitcoin will touch 50K.

Pandemic is not the main factor why the price of bitcoin can reach ATH in 2021. There are several other factors that support this price increase and I think one of them is that many institutional investor are willing to invest in bitcoin for the long term.
Halving has also played an important role in the rise of bitcoin and if you look at its history, there is a possibility that bitcoin will be much more valuable at the end of this year or early 2022. I agree with @Lucius opinion.

I believe it will reach $50k by the end of this year. There is enormous FOMO right now, both from retails and institutional investors.

If the US/SEC doesn't do anything drastic, especially now after the Robinhood + DOGE fiasco, we may see the $50k even sooner.

I'd say Bitcoin is "in the cards" to reach $100k this year. With all the current happenings in the economic-social space, people are in need for a new solution more than ever. You see what is happening with some hedge funds and retail platforms. Fiat (especially the dollar) inflates like crazy and the political space is trembling.

In a world of information we need a trustworthy proof-of-value. We should be able to hold the value of our hard-earned money and not hurry to spend it because it is losing value. Of course that inflation is a good incentive for investment, but do we really need that when we have better solutions?

I am more confident that bitcoin can redeem $ 50k in 2021, this is a huge advantage that investors prefer. very high bid is it going to be for bitcoin to get through with it all? especially with Elon Musk tweets and this is indeed a real expectation, only we are looking forward to what quarter we will find out about all this.
The question will be resolved later if everything is proven, then new history will be recorded again with the highest mark.

Crypto market is something different from the real world market. The market can move in any direction in no time. We need to be ready with alternate plans, so to overcome the market changes and maintain the portfolio. Upon that we've already reached close to $45000, and $50k isn't far away from the ath value reached. There is more than 80% chance of price reaching $50k within 2021.

It is already the biggest year for bitcoin and it touched astronomical valuations and returns for all the early investors and even for investors who invested back in 2019, i am expecting the price of bitcoin to rally again before the big correction but you cannot expect the timeline when that would happen but i am expecting this in the coming months.

To be frank, a lot of people are still yet to understand what happened and how Bitcoin was able to grow to such price despite the pandemic and the more they wonder, the more it keeps getting better. Nevertheless, no one can say or predict correctly the price Bitcoin will reach by end of the year, it could be more than $50k or less, but I think it would be hard to dump badly mostly now institutional investors are still Keeping their attention on it, and even the price range for some days now can also attest to that fact.
However, my own opinion is that, there is every possiblity we will witness another ATH for Bitcoin because so far, the crypto space has been booming with more investors, more attention, more activities, more growth for many coins and so on, that is to say, Bitcoin being the top coin will most likely continue to grow.

I am absolutely sure BTC will hit $50k in next 3 months. Things are moving fast in BTC and crypto favour. Now institutional buyers have already joined the game.
There is no stopping for BTC now.
Onec it reaches $50k, it will only go upwards and only few of us will have BTC.

Honestly, the best answer to these questions is always going to be to look at an options/futures market. It will give you the best odds of events like this happening.

And if you strongly disagree against one side, bet for or against it and profit. You're welcome.

It's very possible that bitcoin will reach $50k this year, after it has broke its previous ATH, bitcoin has passed $40k before it started to be stable at $30k+. In terms of percentage, it should not be a big number to surpass again. Honestly, when bitcoin reach $20k, I did not expect for it to reach $40k in just a very short period of time, so yeah, $50k should not be hard to achieve.

It is possible to reach 50,000$ easily in bitcoin we already see the growth of bitcoin last time from 20k$ ATH up to the new ATH up to 40,000$ in just a month the growth was really ridiculous. The price in the market was 30k$ and easily climb up again up to 36k$ in the last past hour the investors are already so many when it comes to bitcoin and a lot of the people are only believed the bitcoin is the one cryptocurrency that will be the number one and stays in the end and the other alternative cryptocurrency are just for short term investment. It could be that whales are manipulating bitcoin price through the dump to make a lot of profit most of the time.

I am sure that can happen if market conditions are still like today (continues to increase) and it is true that now is the right time to buy Bitcoin (the price is being corrected) and of course it's just a matter of time to see the price of Bitcoin increase again (pump), so the price of Bitcoin can reach $50k or even more and of course provide a lot of profit for Bitcoin investors.

I agree and I think if the price drops in the incoming weeks, that will be the last time that the price will fall at that mark. That would trigger another pump as more and more investors would invest seeing the price rose last year until we hit new ATHs. I don't know about $50K but I think we can hit higher than $50K like $60K or $70K.

We are still at the early month of year 2021 and we do have plenty of months before this year ends which means there is still a lot of time for us to see if Bitcoin will reach $50,000 by the end of this year or could be even be earlier than that. There is always an open possibility for Bitcoin to move into that price over time and we will just be surprise that a new ATH will be recorded once again right after the recent $40,000 price mark it have recorded this year. Let us just all wait up and see what will happen for it is too early too conclude if it will or it will not reach such price mark expectation by the end of this year. Just be patient and grab all the possible opportunities you could take while the price is temporarily lying low for a bit which is pretty much cheaper compared to when it is on its price peak.

50K by end of 2021? aye you kidding me?

This is the projection I do care about:

50K by May, 100 for End of the year.


This is not magic, but a model that has been consistently working since 2010: the Stock to Flow Model..

Read here if you want to learn more:

Stock-to-Flow Model: Modeling Bitcoin's Value with Scarcity (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5191012)

Well, it could be. We need real investors and we don't need the hype of bitcoin just like what Elon Musk did yesterday.
I can't give a proper time frame when the price of bitcoin goes up but I have doubt that it will go up again and break another new ATH within this year. We are still in the process of bitcoin halving which is will commonly have a result after a year from the date halving were successfully occur. The sign that this will happen is the more institutional will adopt and use bitcoin the more will have a chance bitcoin will increase the price but for now, let see and wait

It should be achieved. There are more and more buyers, but the supply continues to decrease, and the price will slowly rise.

According to the current people's purchase volume, it will be reached, and even higher.

I don’t think so.
Bitcoins will struggle in this range now for couple of more months.
But it will surely reach 50k USD , but that too around November and December of this year.

Coming to the OP, then there is no perfect time to buy or sell Bitcoins.
If you want to gain easy and quick profits then i would rather advise all to buy the Bitcoins now at the range of 30-32k USD.
I am definitely sure, by the end of the year everyone will be happy .

Price of the bitcoin in this year already reach the 40k dollars and I believe that this year probably it is possible to hit the 50k dollars or this 2021. But the only main problems is that is many people are panic so the price start dumping or dis continue to pumping because of that reasons but I believe many new investors will going to have investment to the bitcoin again so price will start up.

Bitcoin price adjustments should continue to rise and may reach higher prices.

Actually, there are still many people and institutions believe that the bitcoin will reach over $100000 by the end of 2021, but I do not really believe, in my opinion it is possible for Bitcoin to break through $50,000 at its highest point, but most of the time it should remain stable at around $35,000-40000

If the price of Bitcoin which had once reached $40K this year then definitely the tendency of the price reaching $50K. is very realistic and possible considering the fact that we are in the first quarter of 2021 and the present market Outlook is still very bullish there is no indication that the price is going to dump just like 2017 when the price dumped after reaching ATH, just yesterday the price pumped to $38K from price range of $33K before retracing back to $33K which looks like a price manipulation.

It's quite possible, highest we have seen has been almost $41K

There is a huge chance that the bitcoin will reach $50,000 because the high peak that the bitcoin reach was $40,000 so there is a big chance that it may reach also over $50k. There are so many speculations and predictions that before the end of 2021 the ath will break again, but there is also a chance that the price will dumps before the year ends, but all of these are just predictions so let's just wait on what would happen.

I think it will reach $50K earlier this year.

There are a lot of reasons for it to pump and the most obvious reason is that there are a lot of new investors that are waiting for the price to fall to reinvest and another one is that there are a lot of platforms that will adopt cryptocurrencies. I think if we will be having a great year, it might be higher than $50K or is this the road to $100K?

Bitcoin might surpass more than $50k dollars, because most people were waiting for Bitcoin to fall so they could purchase it, so I'm seeing a positive change in btc by 2021

It will be reached, even up to 8 dollars. :)

Not impossible. I think it will happen.

Once bitcoin start pumping, it doesn't take too long to hit the big price.

Even Bitcoin can hit a big price which is beyond our comprehension.

Bitcoin price should rise after the correction, and it will be reached.

Based on the BTC  (https://trade.kucoin.com/BTC-USDT) market, yes it will but surely it won't just ends at 50k but i am estimating that this will lead to at least 70k

It is somehow possible but the demands of the bitcoin is the one who have impact of it price. Many investors take a risk on the bitcoin and I think because of the price many of the investors or bitcoin holders will sell it to take advantage of it price dor noe the bitcoin havebhigh price and limited cap but I think mass selling will bring down the price of it

Btw, Elon changed his bio on twitter to #bitcoin which indicates that he supports bitcoin. maybe bitcoin could indeed go down if that happened, but I don't think it will be as massive in 2017 or 2018. Currently there are many large institutions investing in bitcoin, although there is still a possibility for bitcoin to dip, because the market cycle is definitely there, but it won't got to levels under $15k imo. because I believe that the big institutions that invest in large amounts are unlikely to allow it. The price is stuck between the $30k- $32k price level, I think this is quite good for price development, where people start to consider receiving their salary with bitcoin and many people are interested and acknowledging bitcoin, this of course is a demand and this demand will definitely increase the value bitcoin

According to the popular model in the twitter it may reach even higher price. Anyway, i think that 50k is a good point

We can never be certain about bitcoin's potential's price in the near future. In terms of bitcoin's value reaching $50k in the future, we need to first consider the possible hindrance that may take place before bitcoin can ever make it to $50k. 2021 might be a good opportunity to start a new journey but we can never turn back from the things that has already taken place before. All we can do right now is give them advice on how they can make it to the quota at the end of the day. Nevertheless, if ever bitcoin reachers or not $50k, we should never stop believing on it already.

As long as the pandemic is right there in the corner, we can expect as much that BTC will still increase, as I've noticed that the pandemic do have been a great factor in the increase of BTC. (Though, bad in many other ways) $50k is really generous as I'm expecting more of $60k + as long as the Covid is right there and evolving.

Do you think it will happen before middle of this year. I don't think so. I am appreciate with him because i also think that Bitcoin will reach 50k or cross 50k in the end of 2021. Though Bitcoin is so much potential coin but i think it's not happening as soon. In the price chart you can see that Bitcoin price up and down between 30k to under 40k.

In the event that the crypto market, particularly bitcoin can be steady, as I would see it, the cost of $ 50 can undoubtedly be reached by bitcoin, yet relying on the prerequisite that bitcoin doesn't increment to an extreme, this will make it simpler for bitcoin to increment. since there are such a large number of bitcoins, to be specific inordinate mistakes and dump siphons, value catching, and speculators getting dubious, possibly it ought to be dodged.

The price of Bitcoin can go down at any time and now is not the right time to invest in bitcoin.Now you have to invest bitcoin but you have to invest with risk.Because, many people think that by the end of 2021,the price of bitcoin will go up to 50 thousand dollars,but no one can imagine it correctly.So, it is better for everyone not to take such a risk.

Bitcoin will reach $50k in the right time, but to say it will happen in 2021, it will difficult to say because anything can happen to bitcoin.
As we know that bitcoin prices can go to any price, we can only dream that it will happen this year, and I am sure many people, including the investor, will always wait for that.
But how about the investor that buys bitcoin at that price? Hmm, I think that will make them feel so sad because they buy bitcoin at a peak, and I guess some of them will be desperate.
If they can still hold bitcoin, they will have more chances to sell at another high price because bitcoin price will make new ATH in the future, and we do not know what that highest price is.

So judging from it's previous all time highs which was around the $45k+ mark don't think bitcoin achieving $50k is that much of a biggie. The milestone would be at the $100k trading price and that's what everyone is talking about. Bitcoin can easily do a $50k moved with in days.

Form its current price, that'll be just a 20-30% simultaneous moved for it to be trading above the $50k trading value. Bitcoin does almost 15%+ moves in 24hours when it in the moved therefore that won't be that much a challenge to achieve.

The hype must have subside but that shouldn't be misunderstood as the bull market is over because we're yet to see the best the market can offer. Currently bitcoin is giving room for other coins to benefit form the inflow of institutional funds and soon it'll kick off from the point it relaxed.

No, it's not stuck as we've seen THE price spike up yesterday up to $38,7k albeit only briefly, and today's range between 32,860 — 34,931 based on bitstamp.
Bitcoin definitely will reach $50k, it shouldn't take so long, probably in February-March and $30k is a good entry point for those who want to take profit before it climbing up again hit a new ath. Bitcoin undoubtedly provides a great return on investment considering the very significant price increase, not only for early investors, especially the price forecast in this year may reach over $100k.

Bitcoin increasing in price back to $40k might be what we won't see again this year let alone another new peak of $50k. The whale will not keep buy the dip except there is another development or improvement brought to Bitcoin. Remember we usually experience bull market when there's a new Bitcoin fork which we had mid last year.
And as we would see, since the ATH this January, we've seen Bitcoin dropped back to $29k before it rose back to $38k three days ago. Now it is at $33k. I believe we will start experiencing price fluctuations between $20k to $30k.

50k$ price mark for Bitcoin is very achievable considering the fact that major investors got in this year and more still likely to come. But I feel there is still some dip will still come before any major move like we were witnessing before Musk created a fomo scene that changed market direction. But the growth we need is more than that kind of scenario.

We have seen so many predictions before the ATH and they are all good because it happened and we have seen a new ATH, hoping that our predictions would happen again for the next day. $50k is quite possible if the whales are going to make it happen. I am looking at more than $50k hoping that bitcoin could reach $100k in the future, so this time is still not too late for us to buy bitcoin but we should still consider that it could still go down anytime.

The year is just starting and yet we've seen Bitcoin reached its new ATH so far which is $41,941.56 base on Coinmarketcap.
This is just one sign that it can go up to $50,000 anytime this year.

TBH, $50,000 is quite conservative in my part and with the institutions continuously buying it I know that it will cost more as the coming months pass by. I don't know if this is true nor I don't know where I saw this but I'm thinking that Paypal will integrate buy, sell and transfer crypto in their platform. If this will happen, this might be a catalyst towards Bitcoin's price.

Now as of this moment, it looks like Bitcoin is on a sideways movement at the $30,000-$40,000 price range and I think that this will continue for a few weeks to months.

We're all hoping for bitcoin to have a higher price this month but I don't think that bitcoin work that well.

We need to wait for the time where we will make bitcoin more profitable than today and I think 2021 is not the time for that.

Many predictions says that bitcoin will reach this price, that price, but it is really hard to say if bitcoin will perform in the market properly.

While it is not certain, it is possible to reach $ 50K. We all know that bitcoin value is influenced by market demand and can be manipulated by whales. Nowadays, big companies and big investors have been buying more bitcoin which makes the price increase. As long as they (investors and big companies) don't sell it, the whale dumps will be stuck so that the downturn isn't too dire. and the price will again bounce back up at a point that is higher than before.

Well, like many of you guys, I also hope that bitcoin will reach $50k. I just don't have a specific day or month but I hope and I pray that it will happen this year. However, you, you're so sure that it'll reach such amount even before April this year, huh. I hope what you say will come true. I'm actually fine with the current price since I'm just holding. But if ever it reaches such amount and makes a record for a new ATH, then I might be selling some of my earnings once again.

I even believe Bitcoin this year can hit a price of $ 100k, so to reach a price of $ 50k will be in February according to my predictions. This year will be
the biggest year for Bitcoin holders, because Bitcoin will provide huge profits this year. I agree that now is the right time to buy Bitcoin, because
the price is now cheap to buy Bitcoin. Because soon the Bitcoin price will pump up to $ 40k, after that it will continue to go up to $ 50k. And keep
going up until the peak at the end of 2021 Bitcoin price will reach a price of $ 100k.

Bitcoin had reached $40k+ and big news is coming I think. The price of Bitcoin may decrease a little bit but after that price will hit $50k. We have to wait some more times for that.

I think currently big investors are still holding their bitcoin, so the price is still under control. and if you still add more investment, I think by the middle of this year Bitcoin can reach $ 50k. but if suddenly the investor sells everything, then a dump is unavoidable.

Indeed, some may think that we are being greedy or whatsoever, but I would stick with this that it will reach 50k eventually within this months, as long as COVID is there. As I think that pandemic is really a factor in the progress of BTC.

Institutional investors who accumulated Bitcoins at 30K-40K level are not idiots. They know that in the long-term the exchange rates will hit six digits for sure. Only the individual investors will run out of their patience and sell their coins at five-digit prices. I am someone who has been holding coins for 9 years. And I plan to do that at least for the next 3-4 years, no matter what the prices are.

Its market price at this moment is not that far from this target market value so I guess a year could either be enough or more, if we will be optimistic of this market. But since uncertainties could occur anytime, we can't really assure things. It is just if we will be observing and will be practical with the situation at this moment, things are possible, a more futuristic approach will be a different story I guess. So for now let us avoid making absurd decisions and maybe it will be better to be positive with this market than to be negative, in order to avoid being anxious.

It will happen shortly and for sure within this year, but it still depends on the whale on what they are going to do with it, they can still make it down so we should still be careful but we should also make it as an opportunity to buy more and invest for a long term and wait for the bitcoin to reach higher than $50k.

Seriously, we have more than 300 days to achieve this goal. Bitcoin has 10x its previous dip in 2020 and therefore, I believe bitcoin has enough power to reach $50k in this year. Before that, there will be a lot of test to see whether bitcoin is capable of sustain above $30000

Do not lose your hope in bitcoin. It has performed quite well recently. Maybe it is a time for bitcoin to rest. Moreover, Chinese new year is coming and Asians tent to sell bitcoin so as to have money for this enormous celebration

There is no dought that we will hit 50k, Market history says It is possible to cross 50K within the 3rd quarter of this year. Last year, there was a lot of doubt in people's minds that we would not be able to cross 20k. But if you notice that everything happened according to the rules, Bitcoin Halving occurred timely and those who have a minimum idea about Bitcoin knew that the price of Bitcoin would double after Halving, just after Halving we created New ATH. In the same way we will reach the 50K price range very quickly.

yes, you better buy Bitcoin right now, because I'm sure the price of Bitcoin will reach $50k this year, but if the price of Bitcoin doesn't reach $50k and you've bought Bitcoin, then you just need to be patient and hold your Bitcoin, because I believe the price of Bitcoin will definitely increase and give you a big profit, even I am sure if in the future the price of Bitcoin can reach $80k or more than that, because Bitcoin has become a popular investment and is in demand by many people to be a long-term investment, therefore I believe the price of Bitcoin will continue to increase very high.

It depends on someone's priority right now, whether he can invest in btc for long term or short term.
But the 50k value is I believe more than possible to happen as we already hit 40k at the start of this year.
If more and more institutions will join the market, we will achieve this much earlier.
As you can see, it seems that btc will not go beyond 30k. I hope many merchants will start accepting btc as payment to further increase adoption.

Bitcoin price is difficult to predict, but at present it will reach the range of 50,000 to 100,000dollars in 2021, and the optimistic view may even reach more than 100,000 US dollars.
In my opinion, it should be up to 70,000dollars.

The supply of Bitcoin is reduced, so the price will continue to rise, reaching $50,000 is achievable.

It is really difficult or hard to know what is the possible price for the bitcoin in this year but in my own opinion it is really possible to happen to reach 50k dollars but if the price is more than on our expectation well that is good because it will go over our goal price. But we are not sure yet because maybe our prediction is wrong but we hope see we are right because we get benefits to this once true to happen.

I never even imagined Bitcoin hitting the $40k barrier but seeing Bitcoin's value right now, it might even reach a better ATH or just be stable. Maybe it might reach $50K at the fourth quarter of the year like what happened last year (2020). The opportunity to buy now is still great but most buyers would like to see Bitcoin's value lowering at about $20K to $29K. Most traders would just focus on trading other Cryptocurrencies because they still see this opportunity for them to cater a lot of other Cryptocurrencies before returning to Bitcoin.

We can say Yes as long as the current flow of the price in the market won't change in a negative way especially this first quarter of this year. There can't be any other way if the price will remain this strong and it's all good news in the media today. Soon we will see the price will break the $40k mark and after that, it stops for a while before it continues to go up to $50k this year. Anything is possible now on the price of BTC since the misunderstanding about BTC has already been cleared, you can check that out because most of the big companies right now are getting their hands to get their share of the success of Bitcoin.

From the way have been studying bitcoin and from the movement of bitcoin for the past few months I believe before the end of 2021 bitcoin will definitely hit $50k or more self I believe bitcoin is definitely going to do well this 2021, and altcoins to are going to do well this season I believe bitcoin price is still very low so anybody that's ready to buy can still buy it now.

Honestly? Who knows really. Everything can change on a whim. Sure, it's harder for influence price of BTC then some altcoins we see surging lately, but everything can just as likely start from a single tweet. So I'd say it's very plausible.

I'm sure it will happen sooner. By summer, the price will be even more than $50,000

Exactly. As long as the pandemic is still relevant, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will only go higher in price. It seems to me that people are starting to realize Bitcoin's benefits over traditional Fiat. Deflation is key to maintaining the value of the currency in question. The more governments print money, the higher the inflation will be. This translates into higher prices for Bitcoin, giving its "hodlers" greater purchasing power. If the trend continues, we could easily see Bitcoin reach $50k or more by the end of the year.

Nonetheless, no one knows what direction Bitcoin's prices will head to. Everything is just pure speculation. At least, institutional investors are joining the game. But the crypto market is still small compared to the traditional stock market. Maybe in the future, Bitcoin will be able to surpass Gold's market cap? Bitcoin could easily hit $100k if this happens. As long as you buy low and sell high, you'll be able to reap the rewards in a highly-volatile crypto market. It's all about playing your cards right in order to stay ahead of the game. Just my opinion :)

For the first time since I came into the crypto space I can boldly say that bitcoin will hit the $50k mark before the year even runs out, it might even happen within this February who knows, cause they are more hypes growing on it as each day goes by, we are currently experiencing a massive bull run and there's no telling when it's going to stop since more retailers and financial institutions keep purchasing more bitcoin, we might even $100k  :D anything is possible.

I agree. 50K for Bitcoin by the end of the year is a given. This is why you need to decide if you can afford to buy now when BTC is lingering around 30K before it reaches yet another milestone. Obviously this depends on case by case, but if you can then you'd be sorry not buying in now.

in the crypto world anything can happen, the numbers will change quickly just because of a tweet. $ 50k or $ 100k might just be a quick hit. Bitcoin certainly has the power to be able to reach this price, it is possible that in the next few days or weeks there will be drastic changes.
For example, like DOGE, whose price can go up to 1000%, that's very crazy, it only takes 1 day to reach an increase of 1000%.

In my own opinion, Bitcoin price reaching $50k depends solely on the demand, back in 2017, the demand for Bitcoin was at average level and while it took Bitcoin to hit the new ATH of $40k in three years, on the other hand, in 2020 the demand for Bitcoin had increased approximately to 80% and are mostly demanded by new investors and  industrial and institutional companies in large quantities as well. However, having said that, I think the Bitcoin price will take not less than 6 months to reach new ATH of above $50k+ in the year 2021.

certainly, I even read a lot predicting Bitcoin will to $ 100k by the end of this year...

I saw that what happened to Dogecoin was a very different case. Dogecoin can only make a quick gain in price only if Elon Musk helps it with his tweets 'lol'.

Forget about $20K, I don't even expect the prices to go below $30,000. The demographic profile of the investors have changed, with the influx of institutions. On top of that, many of the users who did panic selling back in 2018 have now learned from their mistake. A major correction, such as the one happened in 2018 is not going to repeat anytime soon. I am expecting the next bull run in the next few weeks, which should take Bitcoin beyond the $50K level, or even to six-digit prices.

Yes I very well could see the price of 1 Bitcoin being $50k by the end of the year.  Right now the price of 1 Bitcoin is $34,300 so we are only $15,700 away from your target price and still 11 months in the year to go.

After how we just witnessed a crazy spike all the way close to $40k I dont see why another $10k more from ATH is out of the question.

We are only at the 2nd month of the year but it already reach $40K+ and it is still at $34K so if things would work well it could even reach higher than $50K for sure.
But nobody could really tell if it would hit it by the end of this year what if it maintain the price as it is for the whole year I mean it would get pump sometimes but it would also drop down or what if it goes down low again.

By end of 2021? I'm thinking it'll hit $50K by the end of Q1  ;)! Much faster than you think, when Elon Musk and traditional investors are joining.

Recently, the price of Bitcoin has fallen too fast, and it will definitely pull back again. It is possible to reach $50k by the end of 2021.

I also hope to be there so that I can get more benefits.

I always thought that 2021 would be the peak of the cycle, but that's based on a very limited cycle of 2013, and 2017. The test will be how well things hold over the coming months as there are no recent ATHs to report.

In my opinion, bitcoin will hit 50k in spring, maybe even at the end of February. By the end of 2021, the price should cross the threshold of 100k. So I'm sure that 2021 will be the year of bitcoin and a lot is waiting for us. I'm really exciting!!!

Same here, 2021 will be the peak, what we have seen late 2020 is just the start of the eventual bull run this year. So it will take some time to reach $50k but definitely we are in the right direction. Of course there will be a lot of bumps, going to be a lot of test along the way. But $50k is doable this year, we might surpassed it in the first quarter alone of this year.

This is a year where Bitcoin can set a milestone and records compared to the last three years, there are many institutions and big names like Elon Musk that's already here investing silently in the market, we can end up this year with many more institutions and big names investing in Cryptocurrency so that $50k is not a remote possibility, we can come back here before the end of the year and congratulate you.

Well from the price range of $30-$32k it is now ranging around $36k this only implies that the rally was not yet over. We are now closer to reach the $40 once again, a little more push for big investors and we might see a new ATH once again. With the current performance of Bitcoin, I would say yes we can definitely hit $50k but not sure what exactly the time though, I am speculating that it could happen at the end of the 1st quarter of the year. I also believed that 2021 is the best time for Bitcoin as a lot of big and prominent investors are now venturing into this market.

Every halving Bitcoin always made an impact in the market, Bitcoin is attainable, after the halving last year things turned out really better, we have big institutions and big personalities involved in Cryptocurrency, $50,000 is not only attainable it can even reach $60,000, there will be a month here where Bitcoin will make a big pump, and it's something that it's about to happen, all the elements are all here.

If bitcoin is destined to reach 50k USD it is rather matter of weeks than months,

For now we have very important level for btc price movement:


Big picture:

Close up:

We are close to break above old uptrend line again, if it will happen and stay above should be very good!

To be able to predict a price in Bitcoin is something quite difficult, but because the graph gives us inferred information on the volume, knowing how to interpret it gives many clues, of course, a movement that makes a strong hands invalidates all fundamental or technical analysis, But if it is assumed that we are in a world where there is a fundamental called Covid-19 and the price has risen to $ 42k, just thinking that this virus is eradicated, the market can react even going above $ 50k.

I do agree that 2021 will be the peak. In 2017 we were already at around 700 dollars when we started the year, the previous peak was around 1400 dollars, we broke over that easily like it was nothing and that wasn't even our ATH at the time, by the end of 2017 we reached as much as 20k from the previous 1400 peak.

Now don't get me wrong I am not expecting bitcoin to be 15x higher than 20k which is about 300k, that would be insane and too much, however I believe we are going to be over 40k as well for sure. My estimates show 65k because that would be around the same price as some big stock markets and that would be good, however for us to reach there we need another bull rally and I do not know when that will happen.

400 million USDT was just printed by USDT, what do you think? for me this year in Q1 cryptocurrencies are very bullish, especially Bitcoin,
thinking to go to $ 300k this year is very realistic, because 15x is not easy to be able to just one shot,
but to go to $ 50k I believe this year it still can reached, yes, hold and don't sell cheap.

Now should be a golden opportunity for new investors to buy bitcoin.
For $50k at the end of this year I think it will be overshoot, maybe it will reach $100k
This year, bitcoin will not fall again.

Dont let your emotions dragged you into exaggeration of things because you are seeing the current situation of the market.We might be hitting almost 40k but doesnt mean
that we would be shooting continously into those heights, though we are still on the 1st quarter of this year which means there are still tendency for it to happen
but you should expect that this one would really be a very bumpy ride and wont really be a smooth sailing one.Expect the unexpected because we wont know
on what would be the things that we might face up ahead. $50k seems realistic though for this year but talking about $100k? it is way too much for myself to believe
on but it would great if it does happen.

It seems to we have been getting rejected by resistance:
https://i.imgur.com/EOF2nv9.png
Upper line begin  from 16k usd, lower c.a. 25k, both was good support, until January 21th, now was acting as resistance, and once again we failed to broke it ..
Is it already over? No, but it will be very difficult time for price now

If Bitcoin reaches $50k at the end of 2021, it would only mean a huge drop  ;D

Seriously, Bitcoin is likely to break $50k as early as in Q1.

Couldn't agree more with you, mate. Anything can happen in crypto land. After all, it behaves in strange and bizarre ways. Coins that were once forgotten, are now starting to gain traction. Dogecoin was meant to be a "joke", but people are now starting to use it as a serious investment. A positive comment from a prominent figure in the mainstream world, has a profound effect over a cryptocurrency's market direction. Elon Musk's positive reactions to Dogecoin, and the recent "GameStop craze", has made the "meme coin" soar towards new heights. Bitcoin will also experience new gains in price as more people are starting to jump into the crypto/Blockchain bandwagon. We're still in a bull market, so it's likely Bitcoin will reach $50k before the end of the year.

No matter what happens in the future with Bitcoin's price, there's no denying that it'll be here to stay. The decentralized and censorship-resistant nature of Bitcoin will keep it going for many generations. As I always say, 1 Bitcoin will always be equal to 1 Bitcoin no matter what. If you forget about prices relative to Fiat, you'll notice that Bitcoin is stable enough to be used for daily payments. In the crypto/Blockchain world, Bitcoin should be used as a unit of account instead of Fiat. But human greed is inevitable, leading most people to speculate on it instead of using it seriously as an alternative to the current monetary system. As long as demand for Bitcoin is on the rise, prices relative to Fiat will only go up as time goes by. Just my opinion :)

Charts tell a story but reality could always be different. I am not saying charts will be wrong, that is not something I or anyone else can say because we do not see the future and we can't say anything, however one thing is for sure, something unexpected could always happen in crypto and that is why people are having hard time believing this.

However, bitcoin going 50k+ is definitely something I hope and wish to happen as well, I think that is where we are headed and this bull run we are in will not stop until we are over 50k, after that we could see the famous crash that everyone expects but I think until that moment we are not going to end up seeing any drops at all, we are going to end up seeing a great deal of increase before we see a decrease in the price. Basically, it is not something we imagine would happen easily and may take some time but it will go 50k+ if you ask me too.

Let's wait together friend, the price movement of Bitcoin is very positive, it is possible to touch $50k in Q1 this year.

don't forget, we call it a "market correction" (a term for a saturated market).

are you planning to sell your BTC when the price hits $50k?  don't do it friend, HODL until Bitcoin touch $100k!

Sometimes charts tell us more  about reality then reality itself ;)
If you are  very good in TA you can see "news" do not distort what  happens on chart ;)
And I heard that was a research claiming that charts help predict future prices than fundamental analysis (have to find  source )

Today PlanB tweeted something about history repeating on this halving (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5191012.msg56273329#msg56273329).
Comparing the price appreciation after the last three halvings, this one is in the middle of 2013 and 2017 halvings.
Casually the projection fits quite well also his model.
Very nice!

If you trust that Bitcoin is a strong asset for long term investment so you not need to worry. Cryptocurrency is unpredicted but if only $50K in this year, that I believe Bitcoin is easy to reach it. The only one you must do, keep calm and HOLD

If you become a real holder you will get something really sweet

The part I agree a lot is that bitcoin is a long term deal and that is the key here, will we hit 50k by the end of the year or not? I can't guarantee any answer, but will we hit 50k one day?

I 100% guarantee you that one day bitcoin will be 50k. That is the kind of thing bitcoin is, it will always be higher and higher in the future someday, of course we do not know when and how it will happen but we know it will happen and that is the key here, if you believe that bitcoin could go up eventually that means you should buy bitcoin, sure there could be some drop that makes a better entry point but it doesn't matter in the end because you are going to make a profit no matter where you buy, if someone gave me bitcoin at 50k right now (I wouldn't buy it because there are cheaper out there :D lol) I know that even that will profit in the future because it always go up, without exception.

At the current Bitcoin price everyone trust Bitcoin, everyone wants to HODL but you still have to moderate your greed, there should be a point where you have to sell for profit, or to get back your seed investment, holding to much can lead you to a big loss, this is what happens to those who HODL after the last all time high of 2017.

At this rate I'm going to be surprised if it's not $60k in the next couple of months with a correction back down to $50k on the way up.

The BTC price has been dumped to $5000 not a long time ago and since that day I accumulated the satoshis I got from various freelance tasks. The ATH price is around $45k and the new higher high price is possible if the market goes crazy in the next quarter of 2021. I don't think the price will fall down fast if the BTC price can hold $30000 level. Let's see what the crypto market will bring to us this year. The new Bitcoin buyers will pump the market and the whole market can go higher than the previous ATH price. Let's expect for a higher price than $100k on the next bull season. I gonna buy more and add small until the explosion boom.

Bitcoin surprises us users when it touch $40k so there’s a propensity price that could also reach $50k this year. The adoption is growing in bitcoin that some institutions also enter in crypto and invest in bitcoin. We didn't think that price hit $40k in just a period of time so in my opinion, hitting $50k or more than that is possible. 

It seems that Bitcoin will be heading to $50k faster than we could imagine. Elon Musk's recent behavior towards Bitcoin and Dogecoin has made the market soar towards new heights. We've entered the "hype cycle" as people gain the "FOMO" sentiment. If this keeps up, Bitcoin could hit $100k by the end of the year. Be aware though, what goes up, has to go down one way or another. We should expect market correction after the "crypto drama" ends in the mainstream world. It would be wise to sell some Bitcoin now, to buy more coins when prices start going down the drain. I believe BTC will head back to $20k once the hype is over.

Nonetheless, nothing is set in stone. Bitcoin's price is largely determined by the people. There's no regulating entity in charge of it. Prices can go either up or down depending on people's interest in the cryptocurrency. What matters is not the price per coin, but its usefulness for daily payments. I'd say Bitcoin does its job well as a decentralized financial system for anyone, anywhere in the world. As long as it stays that way, nothing else matters. Who knows how much Bitcoin will be worth in the future? Just my thoughts ;D

If you look at the price of Bitcoin now that it has touched $ 46k, there is no need to wait for the end of the year to hit $ 50k. In the next few weeks
I believe Bitcoin can cross the $ 50k price tag. But that doesn't mean now is the right time to buy Bitcoin, because there is still a possibility that Bitcoin
will suddenly drop. So it's not safe to buy Bitcoin these days. If you want to buy Bitcoin at least wait for a minimal correction to a price below $ 40k.
But for those who have bought Bitcoin, I recommend sticking to HODL at least until Bitcoin hits a price of $ 50k.

Bitcoin once again proves Its capacity to increase and increase this year because yesterday recorded another All Time High
Feb 09, 2021 (20 hours ago)$48,003.72   The Highest for this year and a proof how competent the investors inside Bitcoin. to show people that they must not hesitate supporting even the value fluctuate or increase.
I am looking forward that this month February will be the breaking of 50,000.

Bitcoin moves very fast, when it moves. Either it remains flat, or it moves by +/- 10% or more in a day. There is nothing in between. So if we are targeting $50,000 level, I assume that we'll reach there by the end of this quarter (Q1 2021) rather than the end of this year. And the immediate target should be $100,000 rather than $50,000, because we are so close to 50K (today the exchange rates hit 48K for a brief period).

Bitcoin is the king, chart is the king!
As you could see we had few major growth indicator on chart: bull flag, bullish candles etc., and it resulted in price spike to new ATH! And I thought we will go straight over 50k, however, it seems to that we have unexpected difficulties now as bitcoin broke 46k usd  support...

At least as for now what is price  doing gives a hope    .
Positive reaction for ~44k $US support.
Google trends chart:
https://i.imgur.com/VF354z2.png

This shows us that we still have a lot of space for increased interest of people. Previous top was just exactly in the week when bubble  burst (17-23 December 2017).
However price is so high now you should check very carefully what chart says, cause even price correction - about 30% will result in huge loss (!)

Maybe yes or maybe not, nobody could predict what's will be the outcome is in the coming days. What I am sure before 2021 ends, there's a possibility bitcoin price will saturate and main stream media with several negative news about bubble will come out stating bitcoin crash or whatsoever fuds news would start to deceive more people.
Always be prepared of any possible crash, because bitcoin nowadays was at the highest peak of its price.

It seems you were a little bit too short when it comes to your prediction, the price of bitcoin was very close to reach that level just a few days ago and it is just February and if this tendency continues I don't really see why we could not get prices that just a few years ago were considered to be just dreams, it is going to be very interesting to see what happens during the whole year because I have no doubt that thanks to the monetary policies of the US the price is going to keep growing.

@South Park, I'd rather  tell about months, not years.
I know some people spoke about 100k for BTC last year, but you can always find such predictions from some hyper-optimistic people ;)
For me to reach previous ATH at 20k USD seemed to be just a dream.
Only one worrying thing it is that bubble always bursts when noone excpect it...

I'm just wondering what kind of move the Bitcoin price will be in the second quarter, because if the price is still going strong above $40k or lower at least it's still around $30k, then I'm sure a hit of $50k is still a chance this year. Even his new ATH two days ago has already hit $48k and therefore, a further pump or a correction in the near future is possible. I personally believe in a situation like this the price can still go up at any time without predictable, so $50k is the next target in the near future or at least this year, making sell orders I think will be a good choice so as not to go through unexpected moments.

$50 around 10 months from now?? It's so easy for Bitcoin to reach this price, about a couple of days ago, Bitcoin almost breaks it but correction. Correction needed for more jumping. If you just ask can Bitcoin reach $50K, you should change your question that " Will Bitcoin reach $100K or $200K by the end of 2021??

Prior to when he made the post, it was around 30k or there about. Now, thanks and no thanks to Elon Musk it has crossed the price of 40k.
It's not about it reaching 100k, but if the price of 50k will be till December 2021. There is likely to be a price dump this year middle though, possibly market correction.

Let's make an upward channel in logarythmic scale on monthly chart, and then look at its mediana - it clearly showes we are located  by this range.
Channel mediana is now acting as resistance.
And looking historically there are only  3 possible scenario.
We break up this resistance this  month and will go to price  about twice as current.
We will keep in this range for few months and finish first scenario then
or we will fail to break resistance and will go back to bear market.

Bearish market is our best opportunity to grab the cheapest value for bitcoin and save for the next future pumps. That's proven how btc changes it's behavior due to emotions of each and every individuals, and I am waiting for another dips to initiate. But if some people think that it would decline the same with 2019-2019 price, well that's not possible because investors and holders increased already.

but bearish market will last at least several months, and it will take years until we will have another bullrun (if any cause World can change so much in next few years!) ; so I hope we will not enter bearmarket anytime soon!

As at today we are just 3000 less than 50k which can be achieved over night in any of these days. Most prediction are shifting above 150k for parabolic price movement in the year and 300k doesnt look unbelievable with scarcity created by institutions and wealthy personnels around the world. Since the retail investors dont play many part in this market, bull market could likely extend in my opinion and the longer the higher the price.

Indeed that is really fantastic year in term of smart money inflow and mainstream attention. $50k within approach and this could at any moment with current bullish streak and  I have strong price will get exploded very soon to achieve huge milestone.

That's certainly true, mate. Bitcoin is moving at a fast pace as it becomes extremely popular in the mainstream world. Despite slight declines in price within certain periods of time, the bull market is nowhere near close to an end. If prices continue to rise, we might witness $50k per coin before the end of the year. After all, Bitcoin reached a new ATH of $48k today.

Nonetheless, we should hold on tight as the best is yet to come. As Elon Musk made his first move, I believe other companies will follow suit. There have been talks about Mastercard, Amazon, and Apple joining the game. If that happens, we could expect a major boost in Bitcoin's prices. It could turn out that the year will end up with Bitcoin being valued at over $100k per coin. Still, no one knows what Bitcoin's true price will be in the future. All we can do is wait until the right time comes to sell our holdings for profit. Just my thoughts ;D

Maybe this month we can also see a new ATH for $ 50k per coin if this increase is so fast then 2k is easy to pass so I think it will go through in the first quarter and become popular all over the world with a historic high peak in cryptocurrency, This is very far from bearish what many people say.

In fact, there is an important role that has entered the crypto industry so that it has resulted in such a sharp increase, with the Elon Musk company we know that important people can become a shield for the future if they are already involved in crypto.
Look at the next few years that other big companies will be playing in crypto.

Watch  out for possible bearish  rsi divergence on daily chart - it could  lead to serious drop - between 5 to 10k usd down (!)
To avoid  divergence we should reach rsi over 93 in few days, so  to achieve this bitcoin should skyrocket (!)

Very likely. Those who are still waiting for the bearish turn should have been waiting for long and they have no choice but to get into it once the bear comes in and there's no longer bullish sign. But if you observe bitcoin for the past months and even today, there's no sign that we're entering into the bearish trend. It's just disturbing to see that there are still some people who keep saying that they'll wait $1k-$3k for bitcoin until they buy, good luck to them.

Bitcoin has reached more than $48k at that time.
If the scheme is still like the current condition, it may not need to be at the end of this year. If the bullish time is still happening, only in few periods, the Bitcoin price may hit $50k.
Sometimes, Bitcoin price increase significantly because of good fundamental news and drop drastically and very easily because of bad news.

Basically you forget to add when he added this price, Bitcoin was around the range of $30k to $32k when OP asked this question and going by what the market was then, one could easily conclude that we will hit above a $50k before the end of 2021. Personally when the said Bitcoin get stucked at the said price i concluded that we might not exceed the $80k point but with the look of things we are good to go above any mentioned figures as Bitcoin adoption increases.

It's very obvious that at the last quarter of 2020, we have started to see a bullish sign and then it trickle down to 2021. So unlikely to see the bears this year, they are out of the picture for now as the bulls herd keeps on running and there are no stopping them.

Those people who keeps on waiting are either a troll, doesn't want to really invest on the market or they are really at lost as to what is going on and can't decided to enter because they don't know how everything works in a bull market.

My thoughts about them is that they've lost the opportunity of buying the dip and they can no longer be happy with others profitability. Instead of being happy with others gain, they're just bluffing or discouraging those whoever they can annoy and just keep on pissing the others who doesn't have anything to do with them. As long as the others will read whatever useless thought that they have, at least in their minds, they have already annoyed and gave some confusion to those who payed attention to them.

It will not only hit but surpass the $50k level the market is going strong every week the $50k is good to go this month of February, I'm not good in candle chart but only rely on news coming in the market and the reaction of the community, so far we already have two good news, PayPal and Elon Musk and I believe there will be more.

Base on my observation with regards to the bitcoin price i can also say that bitcoin will surely reach $50k few months from now, i believe that at the end of 2021 bitcoin will rise up to 60k$ beacause we still in febuary but the price of btc is now 49k$ it almost hit 50k$ so i think 60k$ is not imposible to reach.

If the trend continues, it can reach up to $70k, as Elon Musk advertise BTC as a great investment and people seems to be attracted to it. With just a simple tweet, Musk can easily increase BTC by 5-10k.

Well that is a very healthy attitude to have especially when comparing that attitude against those that are always expecting a bull run even when the market is crashing, however I do not really expect a crash to happen anytime soon, the market is simply too strong and it was just 500 dollars away to reach 50k and if this tendency continues then it could only take days or at most a few weeks so we can see that price as the excitement over bitcoin is not dying down and instead it's going up despite what governments may like.

Dumps can't be ignored, they soon to come out but it was not the same as what we got before. These institutional investors making it possible to hold. And as they are securing more Bitcoin in anticipating the future demand, the more chance that we still keep at a high level unlike what happens before especially when panic sellers dump their Bitcoin. But for now, we see a huge difference, and people are now learning how to keep strong despite the FUDs and corrections.

yeah, every bubble burst start with correction..
Current situation is little worrying
,https://www.tradingview.com/x/jyXddQz2/
we were very close to break up resistance of 49000 USD, but failed and market reaction was very negative;
current candles indicate possible further correction; look at 8/9th January candles layout.

Was it?  I haven't been obsessively watching bitcoin's price but I have been checking it every few days, and I don't remember it being above $49k (though I certainly could have missed it, and I haven't looked at a chart except for the one above this post).

Anyway, this would be one of the easiest predictions to make--yeah, I'd say bitcoin's going to rocket past $50k, and it's going to do it sooner rather than later.  All of this institutional money that's been pouring into the market seems like a trend rather than a one-off incident.  Things seem extremely bullish for bitcoin right now.

I find it unbelievable, too.  I've said it before:  if you'd asked me if bitcoin would hit $50k in 2021 last March when COVID-19 was just starting to become a thing where I live, I would have been confident in saying "NO".  And yet here we are, and it's not even a year later and bitcoin is in the high $40k's.  Crazy market, this is.

49,714.16 is the ATH on Bitstamp, so yes, breaking 50,000 is just something we can surely see happening very soon, getting rid of this thread.

Regarding the crazy market, I guess we are experiencing nothing more and nothing less than the power of the halving: price has been steadily following the S2F model!

In March market was pricing at discount from the model, while now it’s pricing the bitcoin a little bit above.
I would call crazy the idea a model could predict the market since 2010, rather than the bull run this very model had predicted.

Time to call it a day gents:

I suggest to lock this thread, and move to the “100k by 2021” thread.

It has been a nice and short ride.

In the unpredictable world of crypto, anything can happen. Considering that we're still in the "hype cycle", prices for Bitcoin and other prominent cryptocurrencies on the market will go higher faster than you could ever imagine. We could easily reach past $50k in the upcoming months. Who knows how much Bitcoin will be worth by the end of 2021?

Regardless of what Bitcoin's prices are, it's always important to secure profits whenever possible. If you "hodl" forever without selling anything, you could risk yourself losing everything in a blink of an eye. You can easily make a ton of money if you take advantage of Bitcoin's price volatility. There's no need to wait until Bitcoin hits $50k or even $100k in the future, if you can manage to make profits with price fluctuations on the market. Remember, crypto is all about being an alternative financial system to the world. Speculating on each crypto assets' price is another story. As long as don't let greed to take control of you, everything will be fine. You can invest a little today, and earn some decent profit if Bitcoin reaches $50k or more in the future. I'd be surprised if Bitcoin hits $100k by the end of 2021. Just my opinion :)

Good yes "crypto is all about being an alternative financial system to the world" and that's why I believe that the main point of crypto is HOLD. If you want to speculate the price and want to try to buy dip and sell high, maybe you will get profits, but to maximize your profits you should go to the main point.... HOLD

So 50k USD level exceeded, but rejected very soon ...
So what next?
Look at this chart:
https://www.lookintobitcoin.com/charts/bitcoin-investor-tool/
Bitcoin broke up upper, red line only once without correction, in spring 2013,
every other cases when bitcoin has risen over red line were preceded by at least2 , and up to 4 major correction (25% or more)
I think it is most likely we will have correction now.
Any thoughts?

According to that chart, we could have a few bounce backs before we finally break through the 2-Year MA Multiplier line. That could happen even at $ 100k levels, right?
I don't think we're close to any major correction right now. Especially when we consider all the good news from institutional investors that has been pouring in lately.

Op needs to lock this thread.

Start a new thread saying

Will BTC ever make it back over $50,000? ;D

This Thread needs  a locking op ;D

Or better yet, aim for a different target this time. We already reached 50k, and we are only in the second month of this year. So maybe, 60 or 70k is the next target here. For those who bought even last January, is already enjoying their profits right now. Many institutions and companies are still coming into crypto, this means, they believe the capability of bitcoin or crypto in the next years to come.

According  to this chart:
Big picture
https://www.tradingview.com/x/SaKEyXTq/
Close up
https://www.tradingview.com/x/NuBMfjsw/
We have 3 possible scenarios:
~30% correction in range 55k usd +/- 5k usd
End of bubble now
Or to the moon rally without correction.
So what do you think will happen?
