Bitcoin Forum

We have seen many moves from most popular currencies such as; BTC, ETH, BNB, LTC and EOS and the rest, this year most of it gained it's ATH.
What is your thoughts for the remaining part of the year as already the year is been cut into two part already, 6 months gone and this is the beginning of the remaining 6 months.

Will the market go higher or lesser?

What is your fate as we have moved to next part of the remaining year.

This year for me there have been a lot of opportunities in this market, but I seem to have missed it and lost it myself, there may be many causes, but I still believe in this market in the future. Maybe my patience will be for this market for a long time, maybe a lifetime, looking at the situation right now I think this can still be seen as a good opportunity, but let's go guard against the dangers that may arise.

Sorry but I am always Bullish for the crypto market specially Bitcoin andthose coins that stays in my folio.

I even add some coins from the bearish time so I will be Bias on this part.

the market will go higher in the last quarter.

Just like what Ber months always gives us .

People's decisions being asked here are pretty biased, knowing that you are requesting many people who are members of the best forum out there, bitcointalk. And we all want to have crypto and let it increase in price.

Realistically speaking, I'm pretty concerned with what happened to the world recently, with all the pandemics and stuff. There's a significant increase in the money supply because there are needs to be met and loans defaulting because of the hard life we experience. The fact that the price increased so much just coming from a severe event is quite problematic, IMO.

I'm not sure, but I want to believe that it will increase in price, but we won't know unless it happens again.

Yeah..
We have to, also believe in the possibility of being bullish. There are lot of chances in the market where we missed alot due to some unclear situation around the market.

And this is why people must be enlighten of things they forgot to believe , MArket is still high

https://coinmarketcap.com/

Having 1.4 trillion Capitalization ? they must learn how to read the market when it is clearly still bullying .

The market remains its direction being bullish because many crypto users and traders  still believes in speculation that market will come back and made its new all time high by the end of this year. Let's keep on holding and be patient for the future earnings.

I personally sold most of my altcoins away and went for stable coins. I think there is great chance to hit around 100k dollars if we can surpass 40000 dollar level. Although bears are still too strong for move like that. I guess we need time.

Well the bias is inevitable, after all the majority of those that are part of this forum are holding some coins so it makes sense we want for the market to go up during the next months, but it is precisely the economic instability why I think this is a given.

Inflation while raising is still not going up as much or as fast as it could and this is because a great deal of the money that was printed went to the stock markets and we benefited as well from this, but if this continues, and I do not see why it will not, then the market will once again show growth, the only issue is to know when that will happen but if you are a long term holder then this question holds no meaning to you.

A lot of things are still going to happen in this remaining six we just started, although we can only predict the market entire movement whether upward or downward at the end of the year without being 100% specific about the entire moves. There is still time for the market to do what it wants presumably falling to our direction if our analysis is lucky enough.

My thought is to trade any thing the market brings to me rather than being stiff without debugging the changes in trends and patterns. I'm very optimistic that the market still positive trend to offer for those of us who are holders rather than traders.

I'm hoping that the end of the year will show another bull run. It is what many are expecting but if it won't, that's absolutely fine. But there's nothing wrong to bullish at the end of the year and also the same as being bearish just as the others have been thinking of.

The next part of 6 months would be unpredictable, since our market situation has been stabilized at $33k to $35k btc price which also made altcoins to struggle pumping up. As we all knew market pairing also depends with bitcoin, so if we're still stucked on this certain part; we can't move forward unless another ATH will happen with btc market. Everything will go upward according to market behavior, as well reaching back $60k this year will commence because over all crypto market will be back on green signals which eventually attracts all traders.

We believe that with the remaining 6 months the price will get better and will not be as bad as the previous year, but we are still not sure about the ATH achievement that has been achieved because until now we are still trying to overcome the obstacles we have gone through.
But now bitcoin has become a lot of important people talk and some companies like it will start targeting bitcoin as a legal tool in the future but until now it is still a process I hope it can work better and cause a rise at the end of the year.
After hitting $64k ATH now the new ATH shot is $100k.

I think market will still experience a correction, because market has experienced a very high increase in the previous months and maybe market will recover at the end of 2021 or early 2022, so now there is still a chance for us to buy more cryptocurrency and hold before market grows again, because when market start to increase and there is a bull run, then of course we can get a lot of profit from investing in cryptocurrency at this time.

Looking at its performance around the time bitcoin started to break through $20k, we're all pretty happy with what's going on right now.
Although I have missed many good opportunities this year, I am personally always satisfied with what I have achieved during this time.

as you can see market has been manipulated and all of that popular coin that you've mentioned above fell back to each current support,  so perhaps before this year end they will go higher again as it gaining as well more attention from investors every time when market crash and make all the crypto very promising. In fact as you said we are at the mid and there's a 6 months remaining before 2021 end, so its possible and perhaps it's enough time to reach the current ATH again or to break more resistance in my opinion.

Most likely it is going to be downtrend in my opinion so holders are not going to get affect but if someone is investing now and looking for short term gains then they should be very careful and the coins they are going to invest also add further risk to their investment.

So, we are in an unknown scenario, there were corrections after the new ATH and so far it's difficult to determine the mood of the market. Therefore, anything can happen and it will be necessary to be prepared to take advantage of the opportunities. The BTC is the most stable within these projects because it has experienced several ups and downs cycles experiencing now, I'd definitely not make any provisions and I already have my positions defined.

The second half of this year will not be so exciting as the first half was, and that is coz btc is in a very tight range and cannot break high due to too much selling pressure on major resistance areas. If btc continues ranging like this, then we may expect an alt season taking place again. Alts have given too much profits and the losses were even bigger to some of us, so take your entries at the lowest which is now, and wait for the markets to be shot up.

Bias is fine for as long as it is founded on rational analysis. If I hold a coin because I can see the advantageous over another coin and I am also able to point out the weakness of other coins, a healthy discussion could arise right? Maybe someone doesn't see the weakness of a coin they hold. Maybe I don't see weaknesses of a coin I hold. So generally speaking it is fine to be biased, but be biased for a reason other than being a fanboy. That is what this forum sometimes lacks. People promote their coins not because they have profound technical knowledge, but because they themselves don't even know what they bought and are now desperately hoping for it to go up.

Anyway, I think anything can happen in the second half. It depends on variables nobody can predict. Could be surprising good or bad regulation or essentially anything that has an influence on one or all cryptos. I believe the second half won't be too bad, I don't think we'll see a bloodbath as long as there are no unforeseen bad news coming.

Actually,the currency became a popular one by the ATH.Because it made many millionaire and billionaire by few days.So many people will became a fan of that coin.They will start to hold huge amount of that coin for the longer periods.This increases the liquidity of that coin,so that coin will sustain in the market for huge time.

While i am mostly bullish, i fear the market and the whales are currently on the bearish ends. Because the way the price rises, you can figure out whether the whales are entering back into crypto. When they are back, the market moves exponentially and goes up. But until then, i would rather just hodl my cryptocurrencies and would abstain from selling since i do see the potential of crypto market to rise again.

However, i would only cautiously invest more in crypto for now, since there can be another dip too.

Btc grow at 1000% every 4 years from July to December

I think that the ideal moment of investment, especially for any currency, in this case I have good prospects for DOT and UNI, from UNI, in fact I have seen several technical analyzes and I think it looks very good to upload:

https://i.imgur.com/6syYIKu.png
Source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/price-analysis-7-6-btc-eth-bnb-ada-doge-xrp-dot-uni-bch-ltc (https://cointelegraph.com/news/price-analysis-7-6-btc-eth-bnb-ada-doge-xrp-dot-uni-bch-ltc)

I do not know how they see it but I think that UNI will go up much more if BTC decides to have a good streak, it could be said that the risk always exists but somehow more minimized.

If you look at the current conditions, it seems quite difficult for bitcoin to rise,
we must really understand the current market conditions and this will not be easy for altcoins either,
we know for ourselves that when bitcoin goes down altcoins also experience the same thing even though not all of them are like that

But I hope the market will go higher until the end of this year. The price can go lesser in the next year until the middle of the next year or still go higher than this year.

Until this day, I am okay and can follow the market, although not very often. I believe that the market will be back and we can make a big profit like before.

So we can expect the bitcoin price will increase from this month until December. If that really happens, we must prepare for the coming, and for people who are not yet buying bitcoin, they can buy it now before the price rises.

I'm expecting to see lots of crashes of meme coin projects. Elon Musk started dogecoin mania in 2020 summer and first dogecoin imitators started to appear in Autumn. We are approaching 1 year deadline. Investors or simply buyers will start to ask for results and milestones accomplishments and etc. Soon people will have a clear vision of what most of these projects are.

It's very likely that the market will experience a great decline, it's just a matter of time because bitcoin buyers start to thin out the market continues to sideways, this has a bad effect on the market, of course, this is also due to the Chinese fud effect which makes the market worse. this is a sign that the bears market is getting closer which will make coin prices crash, it's just a matter of time.

I have faith in this year after what happened.  I just ticked the same $28k as 3k8$ in 2018, and that gives me optimism.  Investing is what you hold, accept to be diluted or succeed.  If correctly identified, it helps to balance your emotions and comfort.  Many are considering 140k BTC from Greyscale's Unlocked Fund for a short-term price drop.  But bitcoin still has a healthy beat to pave the way to $100k.
Although, the longest bull run in history has passed, but after Fud China, I believe it will return sooner than expected.
Altcoins temporarily on strike during this period!

this is quite disappointing for the middle of 2021, but in my opinion this phase must be passed by all investors and traders, patience is the key, we must patiently wait until market conditions return to normal and bitcoin price skyrockets again to $60k.

It get more greedy people into the market and investments.All need of money,people use the investments to multiple their money.But if they fail to apply the trading candles and indicators.This leads to their loss of the money the investments.All bitcoin holders would like to see the 100k in their life time of trading.

Only few of these meme projects will survive. But I like to see more projects with actual use case to flourish, those that are addressing real world issues. Because we need those blockchain projects that can truly help industries improve their services. As we are just half way of this year, expect that the hype may subside later on this year. Once the investors realize that the survival of hyped coins is just temporary.

For the start of July is the beginning of another portion of this year, I am hopeful that more good projects will come for cryptocurrency. Unlike the previous project I had this year, I failed a lot and yet there's no worthy rewards have been given to me. Right now frustrations make me more eager to fight for my future, and never stop looking for more potential asset to fulfill my dreams. Another opportunity to look up, and never surrender until you achieve everything that's worth for your effort.

for this month I still don't see the market going up to 20%, although BNB is now experiencing a significant increase maybe this is due to the policy of BNB burning its tokens as it did in the current month and for others it is still experiencing correction

movement is not very clear, but is starting to show price stability and market volatility. There is still negative news that makes investors hold back on re-entering the crypto world, especially bitcoin. They are still waiting for good news.

for the rest of the year, I don't think the market is too excited. coins like bitcoin, ethereum, BNB, Polkadot, Cardano and others haven't changed much. there is no significant price movement again like the beginning of last year. in Q3 until the end of the year it will probably be a place to prove whether the crypto market can survive or crash.

The market shows bearishness now as the value drops almost 31k again

https://coinmarketcap.com/

This is the scenario for more than a week now as the price cannot even stay in 35k above for the whole week.

as seen in the market at the moment it is still like the previous month and many of them are holding it to a safe point, maybe this will happen at the end of this year even though the market does not dump like last year there may be a difference of 20-40% higher than 1/2 ATH this year before the market correction in 2022

Bias is not fine when asked a question like this but I also do not believe that there is a bias in this forum. Go check all the people and things people write and you will see that there are as many good posts about bitcoin as there are bad ones. This is why I do not think that there should be anything we should be worrying, we are in a situation where we need to realize bitcointalk is not for bitcoin lovers only, it hasn't been in a long time, ever since that 2018 crash happened there are too many people who say bad things about bitcoin in here as well, people who reached high level of membership in this forum all while saying bad things about bitcoin and even getting some support from others who think that way.

I am not saying they are the majority of course, there are probably still more people who love bitcoin than people who hate it here, but people who hate bitcoin are still around and that is why bitcointalk could sometimes be very fair.

Are you actually biased my friend? Why are people who say something bad about Bitcoin automatically bad? Maybe they have a point? Maybe not... That is why I said bias is fine as long as there is some substance to the argument. When I am soccer fan of Real Madrid and I say it is the best team in the world because... That's what I meant. I am biased because I am actually a fan, but I can still fuel a healthy discussion for as long as I provide contestable arguments. If I don't provide any arguments at all and just say Madrid is the best in the world because it is the best team in the world, that sucks.

Just like what we had at the previous years, the next six months will be very exciting because this is the time where mostly bullish season starts to appear. Of course pump and dump are inevitable but if there will always be positive news that come in the market, then the result will be a positive market value too.

The crypto market might not be stable these days but if positive news can manipulate the market, then we will likely to see another bullish season at the end of the year.

The price cant break the resistance and still stable to the range of $31k - $34k, we cant see any progress for the past few weeks.

But im still positive that these 2 quarters left there's a changes that can happen. Bitcoin might not reach the last ath but I think $50k is not impossible by the end of this year. So have patience and refrain from selling.

This major dip we experienced earlier this year is different,  if we want to get back up there we need to restrategize to find our way back there. Already we know the major reason that hit us was something to do with energy production and carbon emissions....we fix this and we back on track for the 1 mil a bitcoin dream.

That is not a question about strategy, that is just a question of market sentiment and technological progress and also regulatory and legal issues. We have had such a nice run that we all knew it had to come to an end at some point at least temporarily. A lot of people quickly forget how remarkable that boost was. We went way beyond the $1 trillion hurdle that we were all looking for and we really went above and beyond. That was the first time when almost all parts of the world realized that this is a very serious asset class with enormous potential.

For me the last 3 months of this year are very important for the crypto market, this dip is an opportunity for those people who want to invest in the medium term. Because I think before the end of this year all major coins will break their ATH and we will celebrate the new year with Green Market.

Strong hands will Win, this is the reality and those weak hands must cry when the Bull comes back once more and to make us all proud for keeping our Coins on Hold while many are panicking selling.
People must realize that we need to keep it and never believe in FUD.

It's really hard to make a final prediction right now considering all the things that are happening in the market up until now. With all the news saying crypto will be banned in China or in any other countries while happenings like the regulation of crypto in El Salvador and other countries planning to, we cannot really make a guess yet on which will make much more impact. Also having Elon Musk meeting with Jack Dorsey about their plans with crypto, a lot of things are still about to happen. So for now, take advantage of the dip and prepare for whatever is coming whether it is good or bad.

I still hope the market will recover and Bitcoin make a new ATH. Bitcoin's current state is really worrying, whether it will recover or will fall deeper.
My current state is quite sad, because I still keep my Altcoins. so my portfolio is down around 75%

I don't think bans and so on are the decisive elements of the success equation so to say. I rather believe that more education is important, take the people with us who are not yet fully aware what Bitcoin is supposed to be used for and how it could have an impact on many things in life. I can tell from my own experience that there is a much larger number of people today who has heard of Bitcoin than a few years ago of course, but most of them are poorly educated and only got their information from some really bad big newspapers/websites/ etc. We need more high quality, condense information why Bitcoin matters. That to me is more important than bans or El Salvador making bitcoin legal Tender.

I would say that by looking at the past you can't predict the future, you are right about that. However all the good news like ethereum eip 1559 or jack/elon meet up or any other future things all looking like "good news" stuff and not bad things that we should be worried about whereas all the bad things like china is in the past and already done. This shows that maybe only the good side of crypto is left and nothing bad about crypto is left? That sounds like a possibility and I feel like we could actually have that as our future.

However just like you said nothing is guaranteed and the past doesn't mean the future and that is why we can't make a decision just yet. I am just going to keep doing what I always do and be careful about it, this should give me a bit of time and that way I could probably end up being profiting in the long run.

It’s hard to say that this market will recover at the end of the year I mean, to make another ATH but we already have a good run this year and maybe we will pause for a while and next year will start to regain the top position again. Don’t be sad holding your altcoins, as long as you have a good list of altcoins they you’re good, it will recover again and for me, we will still end this year with a good price.

There might be no guarantee but still people are still bullish about the future of cryptocurrency. We’ve experienced both pump and dump on a first half of this year and I’m so happy that many are into cryptomarket now and most of then are still making money. You might disappointed right now, but this market wont die this year and those altcoins that you hold will rise, as long as they remain active and operational.

This is big proof that the market is very volatile we started this year with Bitcoin going to $60k and we all thought we are heading to $100k until the market crash to $30k, things comes very unexpected and it's hard to put speculation right now, everyone is hoping, the market is not moving at all, we need a big push but nothing's coming even the news of the meeting between Dorsey and Musk cannot bring the market to move forward.

We have done with the greatest days in crypto but the market price, especially for the leading cryptos remains high. But as we step for the 3rd quarter, we can't be sure that everything will still be staying as what we currently experience. I don't think about another ATH because that was impossible. I'm not saying I was hopeless because if we have to check the market history, the bear season will come after the Bull market and that is what I expecting to see in the coming days.

The future of cryptocurrency is really not debatable I guess, but people are impatient and get nervous when Bitcoin doesn't increase 10% for a week or two. I am optimistic that the second half of the year could be a bullish one. I don't have specific indicators or evidence for that, but we might see another run towards the last quarter of the year. Maybe not another ATH for Bitcoin, but some price action and I hope the right direction! ;)

I always have a positive outlook when it comes to crypto so I believe that it will still be a bullish year for us. We attract what we believe so we should always expect the best. There are lots of good events that will affect the market positively until the end of the year so I'm sure that Bitcoin and other top altcoins will reach a good price in the last half of the year.

I believe this half year is our opportunity to buy more cryptocurrency that we have, because the price of cryptocurrency will definitely still go down (market is still experiencing correction) and will start to increase or recover at the beginning of the next year, so don't let you miss the opportunity in this half year, because you will regret missing the opportunity that exists at this time to become rich in the future.

We are going up or down? No one understands what it's going to do, If it were we as a whole be pretty much as rich as the Whales. It could go up down or even just side ways. Crypto market is as yet struggling, now investment is the best way to make money in crypto. Buy low then HODL until next years. Let's see how this goes.

Looking from the past market movements, it takes some time before we see new ATH and that's keeps

on repeating itself, most of the time those imaptient people who thinks that cryptocurrency is their gateway

to become rich are the one who losses their money since fear cause them to panic. Before you invest make

sure that you are ready to take the risk and you have your sets of goals to accomplished.

Although I am not a fan at all of technical analysis, looking back at Bitcoin's history is a shaky endeavor. Its history is so short, we are not talking decades here, but a single decade at maximum. Yes, you can see some patterns with a good portion of good will, but it feels like these cycles are rather speeding up anyway. Don't rely on a chart and say it is going to go up because Bitcoin did it twice before. Just check out what's going on, how Bitcoin is positioned, what you yourself feel about it and so on.

Litecoin was on a small raise not anything big like eth or other coin but it still had one,was expecting to take off at one point but it didnt. Still having high hopes for ltc. But for the next 1-2 month i see the prices stable and the same

Good!

could you ref me or show me any other place to make more profits or do we continue investing on btc and other cryptocurrency?
Do you also support newly launched currency during IEO, ICO, IDO and ITO, what do you think about this ?

No doubts but the first half of the year went extremely well for everyone involved. Bitcoin went up I don't even know how much, but it did so well that there shouldn't be any criticism.

What we have seen, the whole performance of Bitcoin, was impressive for the first half of the year and I am quite sure that won't repeat. I don't know, but Iam full of doubt that that is going to continue in the near future.

it's been a really great year where we just saw fantastic prices for both BTC and other altcoins a few months ago. for my prediction where now is the time when the coin price will slowly return to its base price. there may be a drastic increase but it will not be in the near future.

I'd rather think that the rest of the year will be a bearish market situation, it's hard to expect a new bull run when it just happened this year, it doesn't work that way and we can always verify that by looking at the price history of bitcoin.

Look at the gap.

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/

https://i.imgur.com/Vkq3pZA.png

People will always have to say negative thoughts on bitcoin either the market turns into bearish or bullish. So there's no new to it.

But seeing how the market react to every negative news around, i think the market is not ready yet for a bullish trend. This bearish season will perhaps be extended and there's no other way to do but to keep hodling. The market might recover at the last quarter just like what happens most of the year with the crypto cycle. But definitely what we all have here are just pure speculations.

Yeah the gap quiet much, but one thing for sure is that market may bounce back and turns to bullish remember the market is being driven by news and information so any slight news may turn it up.

That's true, whether bitcoin's made an amazing run for the entire run, there will always be those criticisms that we don't want to hear for being utterly negative.
We don't know if they've actually missed the run and didn't benefit from the past bull run and that's why they're saying such words that they're throwing at bitcoin.

It is stable as of now but they were saying the fud is just starting because just recently there are going to be more regulations coming like the global coordination that will be conducted by the G20. I wouldn't really be expecting the price to be stable. Just to warn you. Not to spread more Fud but this is just so you won't be making conclusions yet.

You will still be the ones to decide what to do when you see this source.

Since I believe that the crypto market has a cyclical nature and each cycle is equal to four years, and also at the end of each cycle there is always an increase in prices for cryptocurrencies, I can assume that closer to the end of this 2021, somewhere in October - November, we we can see another round of growth in the price of cryptocurrencies. Also, some analysts call the current cycle a super cycle and that there should be two rounds of growth in 2021. We have already seen one, so there remains one more. Unfortunately, summer is likely to be just flat and it is unlikely that we will see a normal price movement. Also, at the end of summer, we may see another fall, and after, as I wrote above, the crypto market is waiting for another flight to the moon.

The market is not certain now with the ranging of price going from $50k to $30k. The market is trying to gain more force to project up before going to a particular direction. Price is still going to keep on fluctuating for  months before againing strength to hit a direction. I understand what it means for traders who had bought at a higher price before the big fall of Bitcoin clearing investors accounts without any notice.

Trading and investing at this time is risky especially if the market is hunting stop loss but good leveraging can help one to take little risks at this time of the year where a lot of things are happening. Using higher time frame to see the current condition of the market now show that the trend is bearing with few Retracement which look like the market is trying to gain force to go bullish.

Based on my own analysis and back testing of the market, there is more change for price to retrace to $40k before going below the current support. From now to the year of the year, I see price ranging. There is still hope for Bitcoin to go bullish after this year with more traders and investors entering the market.

Agree. I'm happy to consider that we've entered a bear market or crypto winter or whatever it's called, ready to wait for another 3/4 years before the next.

And if I'm wrong, and we do see another rally unexpectedly, I'm still a winner. So no harm to expect the worse and just get ready to sit on holdings tight for a long time more.

Indeed, we're going to enter into bearish market soon or we can say that we're on the starting phase of it. Like previous market, we could see another small rebounding from current price level. After that, market will enter into bearish market if we don't get huge volumes in that time. So we just need to wait for that time to be sure about it, but history will repeat without any doubt.  ;)

It really doesn't feel like half a year has just passed...

I stick to my prediction that until the end of this year for sure we will see bulls again. this pandemic is not over yet, people will definitely look for other alternatives to get money while cryptocurrencies are already very interesting, bullish in front of the eyes.

That is something I do not agree with, I do not think that there is a pattern in the crypto world. For example if you believe that it is "4 years" then it can be easily disputed, just to prove it the price of bitcoin went up a whole lot in 2014 to 1400 dollars (it was around 100-200 dollars) and then went lower, then in 2017 it became 20k, that is 3 years and not 4 years. Then in 2020 it started to go up and it reached above the previous 20k and went to 30k dollars before 2020 ended, that is still 3 years.

So that means it is not cycle of 4 years, it is 3 years if you really believe that type of thing. I do not believe that, I think it doesn't have a pattern, it is just at certain times bitcoin has some hyped up periods where everyone gets really crazy about it and it could be either 1 year or 5 year but it does happen, it is not really a pattern.

You are right because from the current scenario it seems that we will be bearish for the next few months. But still, institutional investors can surprise us, whether they move the price upwards or downwards.

I'm still pretty comfortable with everything, despite having lost almost 50% of my money during the last few months with this market. But I'm still very optimistic, maybe things will soon get back to the better side, and for sure it will.

I agree that the market means there will be ups and downs no one can say when it will turn those who were in the early position pumped a lot the future is going to be better in this half year as the market is rising again.

I think year 2021 is a an amazing year for crypto we all witness the rising of the price of bitcoin on start of the year 2021 so the bitcoin price and the top altcoin will maybe rise before the year end. If we are going look at the price today bitcoin is at 33k$ so I think we still have a great chance of rising, but if bitcoin price drop down below 20k$ in the next few days maybe I will say that the price will fall before year end. It always depend on the next update on the market so we need to wait for it.

It's amazing if you have already enjoyed cashing out during the bull run, and it seems the bull run is already off due to chine crypto ban and other bad news, so we might not see bitcoin and the crypto market pumped. In the past few days, bitcoin is still serving to stay a $30kish, but I believe it will not last long, soon enough the price will dump and $20kish will welcome us once again.

You are right about the fact that there is no 4 year cycle, even maybe not a 3 year cycle who knows? So far it looked like there is one but maaaybe in 2023 or so we may not see an increase and that will be thorn apart (so far there is one in every 3 years so we can't disprove it honestly). However what I believe is that there are patterns in crypto for sure, not patterns in yearly cycles but patterns about how it goes up and down constantly the same way. I believe that we go up beyond the previous ATH and then stay above the previous ATH and that is the pattern, or whenever Bollinger band does something there are 3 possible outcomes, or when MACD does that then this happens etc etc.

This is why I do not think that there is anything specific, but there is definitely something that could be changed so we can't call them all patterns or we can't call them not patterns, because patterns are things that happen once in a while and sometimes they do until they don't and when they don't happen they are broken so until they are broken they are called patterns, so they are Schrodinger's pattern at that point.

In the first half year, we experienced the longest bull run in history and also produced unprecedented ATHs of all the top coins in the market.  If you miss the first race, the next race is still in the game, for me this is the best dip, I keep emphasizing 'if you can't keep, you can't get rich' 'CZ  to speak.  Lol.  On your chart is a pessimism, I think there is no big reason to continue the downtrend, we have gone through a period of crazy suppression from China, bitcoin is still very strong.  The 28-30k threshold, could be the key to breaking out of the bear market.

How is that the longest bull run in history though? I think the 2017 one started in February when it broke ATH and lasted all the way to the new ATH in December, just one month short of making it 12 months (1 year),,, whereas we saw our ATH quite early after breaking 20k, and now are at half of the 63k ATH. So tell me which chart am I seeing wrong?:)

Stop quoting CZ:p

This year has been fantastic in my opinion, when some countries are experiencing a pandemic due to covid 19 but the crypto market is booming and continues to break the deadlock that exists among the crypto community, I personally didn't think that Btc and other top altcoins could pass ATH in 2017. hope the whole year 2021 will be bullish and will make another new ATH every year.

Yes, in general I also hope as you say so that I will also be happy if at the end of this year all coins can get new ATH again before entering the new year, after all, corrections that are too long like now will also feel very saturated.

I believe that this year 2021 is really a year for cryptocurrency and it is proven because we have seen the exponential increased of bitcoin's price by the start of the year and so even altcoins. Now even the market is suffering from price correction like bitcoin and other altcoins but there are also altcoins that not that new but making name today especially those altcoins used in the nft game that is incredibly hitting a high value today. I believe that the market will recover since we are still 6 months away before the year ends.

The great thing is that even while the price is doing so bad currently, it is still so much great in the long term because we were near 10k level even in the "good" days of 2020 first half (and even 4k at the lowest but for a short period) so it is really not something that we should be sad about having 33k dollars in crypto. At the end of the day bitcoin is a volatile thing and that is why I am very joyful for the future of bitcoin as well, who cares that we dropped?

As long as we increased a lot for the past 1 year then it is really great. So, what we should be doing right now is to have bitcoin to stay like this and not drop to 10k levels and I would be still happy about it. So just focus on the "not dropping" part and not focus on the increase part. I get that people want that 60k back, but as long as we are 30k+ that is good enough for me.

We can never predict the market, market generally down trend when big whalers make money out of all of them. There is a big games behind our knowledge, you can only make profit if you're smart. Don't be greedy just you have a though that  market will turn over by the new year, take your profit while you can.

From what we have seen in Quarter1 and Quarter2 of 2021, The positive things for the side of cryptocurrency are very overwhelming since we are on a bull run and a lot of influencers brought their followers in crypto that helps crypto adoption. There are many people now considering cryptocurrency as a real investment compared to what people are thinking about cryptocurrency before 2021. NFT's also bloomed this year that also makes other people use crypto and we saw a lot of NFT on the new this year.

There's a chance for the market to move up higher but not so fast, because as of today it was really on struggles. Most coins have been affected recently due to btc market bear resistance, and basically we've noticed some stability of price updates. As the start of another quarter this year, it's not as easy as expected so we need to extend more patience as well.

I think we will still gain on this top coin before year end some people says that we will experience dip this remaining months but I think we will not fall down to dip, maybe we will experience a lowering of the price but maybe it will not last long we can maybe saw a new ATH before the year 2021 end so let's keep on holding because we all know that in crypto holders are winners.

I hope so but I'm not too positive that it reaches back to $60k within this year IMO. What I am thinking this time base on the current situation, is the price of Bitcoin will stay at the $30k level.

The market just tried to pull it down but it never happens, short dump, short recoveries, all of these things are what we have seen. The market is showing a stable movement from Monday to Sunday, and the cycle repeats again in the next week. For many times I was observing such market turnovers, I simply think that Bullish we aim to get back is seems to be out of the chance.

the impact of the ban by the Chinese government made the price of bitcoin fall quite deeply and of course now bitcoin really needs a strong push in the market to get back on a positive path, and if that doesn't happen in the next few months it certainly doesn't rule out the possibility that $20K price resistance will occur. can be destroyed and that is quite bad news for us, hopefully BTC can maintain the current $30K price wall and wait for the momentum to rebound to the top again.

To me what we are seeing is a close repetition of what happened in 2017, some people forget but 2017 was not a year in which the price of bitcoin went up every single day, we had several moments where the bull market seemed to be over and many people cashed out their coins too soon and they missed the real all time high of that year, and I think we are about to see something similar this year, with many people selling their coins during the next months and then the market moving explosively at the end of the year.

It's good action if there's a bounce back that would happened this year, though still bullish and

still hard to predict how investors will move to support and keep this current barrier, knowing

that there's no assurance on how the market will move after some months, stay positive and

keeping your assets still the best options if you already have coins inside your wallet.

It's still uncertain, the market could go up or could go down again it is still going to be based on the news coming in the community, this month of July alone people are hoping that the meeting between Dorsey and Musk will bear good fruit and can help the market move positively again after being stuck for the past two months, I still believe we are still in the bull run.

My estimate is that in the next 6 months there is still potential for ATH. but it cannot be predicted whether ATH will increase significantly or even decrease. depending on the market's response to crypto. so maybe we really can't do that analysis to see how crypto's potential is in the future

we will see how market sentiment will come, is it still suffered by negative sentiment that continuely come from any countries? back to 40k will be good bounce for us to clear our floating position before maybe it could drop again to 20k. But everything could changes and news in market very dinamic it could be good or bad depend on how countries threat bitcoin and other crypto.

I think bitcoin will likely drop $20k than to pump to $40k, at least that's what I'm seeing now because if you look closely, the market is not anymore bullish and it's even struggling to reach $3k again. This is really the reason for an overprice market brought by the bull run, a correction would happen and we can't stop that, and since there's no bigger positive news that could hype the market, we can't expect a market rebound anytime soon.

I agree, currently it feels different than the first couple of months of 2021. There is really no momentum anymore and if there is some it is most likely going down. Unless we have some awesome news, but I thought for a while now that Bitcoin has become less sensitive to both good and bad news. Yes we are down 50% from the ATH, but to me that was a necessary correction rather than the response to any news.

Now it seems to be quite a long shot for Ethereum to make it back to $3k.

ATH can't decrease, when you reach ATH that is there forever until you break it and make it higher, there is no scenario where ATH becomes lower. However you probably mean maybe the price will drop or maybe the price will go up and we can't know that which I do understand however just because we do not see the price going higher or lower doesn't mean that we can't guess if ATH will be broken or not as well, why? Because you may think that it may go to 20k or 50k and that means you do not know price going up or down but you do know that the price will be lower than ATH, which is an example that you may know about ATH while not knowing about direction.

I personally believe exactly that, I think price may go up or down I do not know about that, but I am 99% sure that bitcoin will not break its ATH, that is just 2x and then some and it doesn't look like we will get there.

Do you mean that a country bad news would influence BTC?
To my greatest surprise a could is too small to pulled down the price of btc or causing dumping in the market that will lead to $20k as BTC price. Just take a look at China and yet the currency still maintained it's price not going down below $20k

It's not only bad news from countries that have an influence on the price. If a few of those institutional investors start dumping it could become ugly. Or if some of the major exchanges start liquidating some of their assets it could become a race to the bottom.

I do believe that there are nations that can change the bitcoin price a lot and there are ones that won't. China news actually dropped price from 60k levels to 30k levels according to some people, of course there are those who do not agree with that as well like me, I personally believe china was one part of it, and automated moves was the second biggest reason of it.

However at the end of the day there are people who think it was because of it so that is what I can understand and that is what we should be focusing on, not the type of questioning "will this nation be, will this nation won't" because it doesn't matter if some people think that nations can influence the price of bitcoin then they believe it could be for any nation and I respect that because by logic China getting out means they are already out, so other nations even if small could still impact.

Ath is still possible especially during Bee Months or by December. We see last year how the price keeps increasing as the New Year approaches even all the country is under pandemic. So what more now that economy of every country is recovering. The crypto still have lots to offer, we might not see it but it have lots of room for more adoption.

We should remain positive and optimistic because there’s always a good trend after a bad one and hopefully, will end this year with a good prices just like last year.

On the first half we did our best to sustain the bull trend but the bear is indeed inevitable and that’s what happening right now but it doesn’t mean the market will collapse, this is a normal trend. Yes, many countries are already recovering and somehow that could affect the cryptomarket as well, the price will soon rise again.

Halif year of 2021 is very challenging for all of us who been so hardworking to reach every goals in crypto, and what I am about to see now is both red and green signals. Buying opportunity for everyone is good, so don't you ignore the chances to obtain profit. This year will be our luck if we're learning to control our greed, because despite of pandemic many people never leave crypto and fortunately this became popular due to cashless alternative.

Not that really challenging but rather surprising until the price is moving sideways now and there are no hints on where it could possibly go so its really hard to determine
but i can say that this half year is much more better compared into last years where everything is still in question even though its always been like this but still we are
seeing some potential rise in the future if adoption does continue and consideration and if this pandemic would be over then for sure we would really be going back on track.
Hopefully we would be having some good movement on this year.

It is correct that the market right now is looking way more bearish than bullish and that a reduction to 20k seems more likely than a pump to 40k but the current conditions are not going to last forever and I expect that at the end of the year the bullish conditions will comeback in a way similar to what we saw in 2017, obviously this is not a sure thing but to me the probabilities of a bull market at the end of the year seem to be high to me.

We are finally under 30k and interestingly enough I do feel the same way about reaching 40k before we reach 20k as well. The price dropped under 30k for the first time and the first thing it did was rebounding higher, which shows that there are still MANY people who believe that bitcoin is cheap when it is under 30k so it is really resisting towards not going any further down, that is a very good thing.

It doesn't mean that we will go towards 40k right away, but at least it means that we are not going to see 20k happen that easily, it is going to be a very tough situation for sure. At the end of the day we are going to live a bit more around these prices, and that is going to be tough because not moving up or down usually causes people to stress over which direction it will go, and a whole community being stressed over what the price will be is never good.

I am glad the 30k level is still strong, it is true that we went down below it for a time but this is natural, what impressed me was the reaction of the markets since we are at 34k now, so not only the market recovered it also went up significantly and it put some distance from the 30k resistance level, this tells me we are in an accumulation period, the whales do not want the market to drop that much but they do not want it to skyrocket so they are buying coins slowly, and once they are ready they will look for any excuse to pump the market.

While I mostly agree with what you say, we should not forget that some are still shocked about the price. When you invested at + $60k, it still hurts looking at the price. While we are alright now as you say and I agree, we are quite a bit away from the ATH. It doesn't seem to be an easy way up as those buying now also have an incentive to already sell again below $60k. It needs a very strong momentum to return to ATH levels.

If you are investing in a highly volatile market you need to understand the risk factor and there was plenty of time to invest before the rally started and it was obvious that the price would rally after the halving and if anyone held back till it touched the all time high valuation to invest then who is at fault, they need to understand the market well and you cannot expect the market to go up all the time, all they need to do is to average that investment and wait for the long haul and eventually we will see another all time high either in this run or in the next run.

We really have to be optimistic about the crypto market, in order to motivate us to be patient with the current conditions. But if we look at
the movement of Bitcoin and some of the top altcoins that have started to look up, looks like our hope to see the market improve in this half year
can come true. Even as long as Bitcoin hasn't dropped below $20k, I am very optimistic that Bitcoin can return to the ATH price. If Bitcoin can
return to the ATH price, I also believe altcoins will also increase. So for now, what we have to do apart from remaining optimistic is to try to collect
coins that we consider potential. So when the market recovers, our patience can pay off with big profits.

The first semester of 2021 had so many ups and downs. Bitcoin reach new ATH at April 2021 and after that ceremony the price was dropped in a half.  But I still have a much hope and determination that bitcoin will rise again, today the price of bitcoin is $38k and maybe it will become the sign to have a new bull run, I hope so.

No there wasn't plenty of time to invest before $60k. Maybe that was the case for you, but if you only find out about Bitcoin when it hit $60k because the media reported about it on all available channels, those people didn't have the time to invest before. This is no judgment, this is just the realization that some were hit hard by the more than 50% crash after they bought Bitcoin at perhaps $65k.

we need official statement to make sure it is not fake news to pump bitcoin price. This source only from insider which is could be wrong or media just create this news to manipulate market.  But if Amazon confirm it , real adoption for bitcoin or other coins could started in big space. Demand will created which is come from amazon customer.

I will start with trend, this trend of a thing is a very important factor in the crypto space, which have the potential of skyrocketing the market as more investors always tends to join up in order to participate in what that particular trend offers. Now taking a look at the market, it can be seen that NFT and gamified tokens are taking the lead as many are already pumping, thus showing that NFT trend is about to kick off and if such happens as we all anticipate, then the market will go higher as more money will flow into the market. This of course will also lead to the growth of most popular coins like Ethereum, as it is evident many of these NFTs are based on it, Binance as the team already have created their own NFT marketplace ahead of time.
Now about fate of the market, we can only wish for what we want as we have no control on the movement and growth of the market, owing to factors like fud and so on.

Even on accumulation periods whales do not mind small drops, I do not mean tiny drops like we had, I mean small, like for example dropping to under 25k but staying over 20k because we are accumulating and whales are doing the same so it is not really a big problem. However what I do believe is that since we went up so much, this is a good recovery level, not a bull just yet but it is definitely getting there, if we reach over to 40k we could say that it was a small bull run.

Remember not all bull runs are from 10k to 60k type of runs, some of the bull runs are just 28k to 40k because that is a good amount of increase as well and we should be happy with those kinds of increases as well as what we have right now. I personally do believe that we should be focusing a bit more on the happy side of things right now and call this a small bull just to others, even though it is not bull yet, it has the potential for it.

Based from this article in coindesk = https://www.coindesk.com/amazon-no-we-have-no-plans-to-accept-bitcoin-payments, it seems the news saying they will accept btc is fake. Seems that the insider may be a bogus one trying to influence the market. But who knows, they may really go into crypto payment, but maybe not this year?
But in general, I feel that we are doing good despite of the several price corrections that we have, which is normal in this market. We are now enjoying the above 35k level, which is not bad in my opinion. Only this year that we have this price level. So just be grateful for what we have now.

The year 2021 will be extremely difficult for all of us who have worked so hard to achieve our crypto goals, and what I am going to observe are both red and green signals. Everyone benefits from the possibility to buy, so don't pass up the potential to profit. This year will be lucky for us if we learn to limit our greed, because despite the pandemic, many people never leave crypto and fortunatly, many people never leave crypto.

recently Amazon deny this news , at this moment they said have no plan to accept bitcoin or other cryptocurrency in near future. Maybe they could lie about it but the demand from their customer to accept bitcoin could change their mind. This kind news was really needed by market now , we've seen many time fud and its should turn to positive news. China or some else  have no idea about next fud , everything already released. 

It is true that those that invested near the ATH were not expecting this, after all they would have expected for the market to keep going up only to realize they choose the worst possible time to invest in bitcoin, however even if a recovery to those levels seems far away I do not think it is going to be as hard, people are once again afraid that inflation is going to go out of control and that means that people are going to want to invest in bitcoin once again.

Good point and indeed inflation is going to be out of control. In Europe a couple of countries have inflation levels that they didn't have in over a decade. That is a big plus for Bitcoin and we will see in how far the inflation is directly correlated with money flowing into Bitcoin. I hope there is a strong correlation, but Bitcoin isn't alone. A good chunk could also go into precious metals.
