Bitcoin Forum

The promising approach about the rising of Bitcoin price seemly to have emotional influence on investors which at some points triggers market sentiments.

Who has observed that the speculations and predictions  of Bitcoin price has gone silence since the market went DIP after the halving?

This is because the price of biitcoin has already increased and we are not yet in another bull market. Also because there are dull time immediately after halving and we are in that dull period now. Let us see what will happen after 2 to 5 months. My speculation is still that bitcoin will reach $100000 in 2024.

Not really, take a look with this thread LAST CHANCE TO BUY BITCOIN.....  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5495622.0), he promising Bitcoin price will increase and now is the last chance to buy Bitcoin. :D

If you think that many people gone silence since the price goes opposite with that they predicted before, it's because many people are riding the wave and don't want to miss this event in order to earn more followers. While they didn't even invest Bitcoin or they just invest in Bitcoin up to 1% from their total wealth which is very small.

That's because the price is stagnant in the $60K - $63K area, maybe investors can call it boring because there is no better increase in recent times, they want to wait for the DIP but return to the original area, but waiting for the increase to not happen so maybe they will be silent by looking at the current market situation.

Prediction - Waiting is not instant maybe I will say at the end of this year bitcoin can be bullish again and we will be busy again with various speculations by saying above $100K later. :D

What do you expect, the predictions has already been made even before the dip, so you can't have people repeatedly saying the same thing over and over again. Since the predictions has already been made, it's just for us to sit tight and watch out how things play out. Or has the time those speculations said bitcoin will get to certain price passed without bitcoin price getting to that region? Or it could be that people are analyzing the market to know the next line to speculate about. Moreover you need to have something to say before talking, since you can't just be talking all the time.

I was going to send this link here you have got first lol .

But yeah that is the last prediction(or at least close to that) and indeed that respond is really amazing
So for OP i think because we are in crazy movement of market now that make everyone cannot decide what
to believe until  the market shows insignificant movement again.

exactly , most of us are in w close looking in the market that we have no time for many discussion
because we might missed a good chance of either buying or selling.

 Are you referring to price speculations on the forum alone or in general because I got something from  here  (https://coindcx.com/blog/price-predictions/bitcoin-price-weekly/) and they are quite bullish Bitcoin is just experiencing a momentary setback.
At the same time, many people will be less enthusiastic to speculate about price now it's going down because they will be more focused on cashing out as little profit as possible.

We still have to wait and see, and if you have been in the market or experience halving already, you should know by now that a month after the halving, the price is going to tank. Not sure what the reason is, maybe the excitement is gone as the hype is gone or simply that's where the market moves.

And so the answer is that we should be patience, we still have this year, more than 6 months to see what will be the impact of halving. And then 2025, a almost full year as well on what will be the all time time high. So we need persistence and we should endure what the market will give to us, and at the end of the this bull run, we know that we will see a good price and probably in the six digit figure.

When the price is going down, everyone is panicked about their investments. Hence for this we don’t see many ATH predictions posts anymore. This is common and was expected. People thought that the price will keep rising and it will touch 100k usd easily, but this didn’t happen and instead we show a dip with price correction. I will treat this dip positively and will consider this as an opportunity to buy the coins for cheap. Bitcoins will rise again very soon.

That's normal.

Self pro claimed speculators comes up during bull season and they will give their so called trading advise, if their predictions correct, this will boost their engagement and personal branding. But when it doesn't go to the direction that they predicts, they will disappeared for a while.

However, this will be a good moment for Bitcoin naysayers to criticizing Bitcoin lol.

Not only on the forum but on other social networking platforms, bitcoin price predictions and bullish sentiment also seem to be gradually disappearing as the market is still in the adjustment phase. What I see is that people are no longer talking about bitcoin reaching $100k, instead they believe bitcoin will fall to $52k. And I think this is a good sign for the market because when people get bored and sell all their bitcoin, that's when the market gets pumped again.

Remember that this is a financial market and no one can get rich easily so when the crowd is at its most excited and Fomo we should be afraid. But when the crowd gradually gets bored and quits the game, that's when we become greedy, wealth has never been for the crowd. This is when I think people should be bullish instead of depressed.

Common questions I often read on DIP Exchange are:

For the reasons below, I believe DIP Exchange, a little quiet in terms of speculation and predictions, they choose to be neutral in that regard.


Maybe we will see DIP Exchange react again in terms of speculation and predictions, when there is turmoil in the crypto market.

This is not something new as it happens every time when there is a dip and you may have noticed similar thing on those so called YouTube experts and those on twitter? When it's on upward trend everybody jumps in to claim themselves as experts and predicts some random number and truly anyone who is expert will not be predicting the price rather working around it to get the most out of it. If it drops bt further you will see fuds as well.

OP is probably shocked that this happens, if you're not new to the bitcoin investing game, you'd know that this is something that's happening more frequent than you'd ever think of, there's times that some people that are always speculating chooses to sbut up because they don't want to be yapping all about bitcoin price all the time, there's more and more things to do besides that anyway, they can always come back to a certain point in time to be speculating about different stuff, shouldn't surprise you OP.

Sentiments are a major part of markets, an integreal part. That is particularly valid when it's about complex assets like Bitcoin as nobody can truly tell what it is worth as it doesn't generate cashflows. One can only guess and the more you understand about Bitcoin, the higher you will value it and the less you will get nervous when there is trouble going on in the world. But rest assured that not a lot of people who own Bitcoin actually understand a lot about it. But with more people getting into the market and spending more time to understand it, the base layer price will only become more stable. 

Well way too many people end up overbuying beforehand because they know that it will go up leading up to the halving and they were right we have seen all time high before it, so all those people who made their profit end up getting out because they overbought and extended their financial situation to this point. I think it is going to keep rising though, with all the profit that people have.

First it will be both new money that goes into the market and we are going to also end up with getting bigger piece of the pie from other alts as well, because people will sell their alts and buy bitcoin for a while as well. Then when that goes up and makes us all a lot of profit, people will sell some of their profits and invest into alts and that is when alt season will start as well.

The market if facing dumps time after time and that's why the weak hands are losing hope. The Bitcoin predictions that we had still exist on internet all we need is to find those.

None of those predictions and speculations have came to fruitarian yet, but it's still not the intense times of the bull run. The bull run will continue to get intense and I believe that history will repeat itself once again.

I still believe that Bitcoin has the potential to reach at least $100k in this bull run but that's the least I expect, in broader terms it could reach or cross even $150k.

It has always been influencing everyone because we know that this season is the bull run and even if there are some slips happening recently, that's not going to change the emotion of many that have been in the market for years.

That's what you feel. There's no silence in here but if you think that you've gone silence because of the recent dip, that's because it's a normal scenario to be seen. The market won't rise as if it's going to happen on an instant, you guys need to have more teaspoon of patience.

We're still waiting for that $100k and I believe it is coming, but nobody can tell exactly when that will happen.


IMO people expect too much from these predictions. They'd like people to tell them what price there will be on what day and when this doesn't happen in that exact date they unleash their fury upon those poor analysts.

It's just one of many such dips in the bull market. If you can't sit tight and wait, you have too much money invested.

People are just relaxing, probably enjoying early summer.

When the price isn’t doing much apart from bouncing around between $60,000 and $65,000 there isn’t much to really discuss. We often see periods of boring, low volatility in Bitcoin after the halving.

I’ll give you a prediction, 1BTC = $200,000 before the end of 2025.

You would really be that expecting that kind of condition or situation within the market because majority of us would really be that too positive or optimistic about Bitcoins price. It is really just that normal that on the time that the market do make out some correction or make out those kind of price decrease then you would be expecting that it would become that silent specially if people been anticipating or expecting for some pump then
it is really that a normal reaction on where people would really be having. This is why it would really be that too silent whenever we do see price declines excluding into those whining which would newbie would be normally be doing but for those who do have experience and been here on this market for a while now then they would really be taking these conditions to be just like an another normal day here on crypto space.
You would really be expecting different sentiments and altering market sentiments and words that you would be able to read up online.

That is because of the hype of halving, and whales know how to play with it.
What we are seeing now is the real trend and seriously, the price are still at a good position and there's an indication that this might be the last drop before the real bull trend and by that time you can expect another version of hype and high predictions. This is cryptomarket after all, where hype is everything and volatility is part of the trend.

There are still talks about the promising comeback of Bitcoin after this dip.  Many are still enthusiastic about DCA-ing taking advantage of the cheaper price of Bitcoin.  There are also still prediction about Bitcoin market and the possible rebound of price.  It may look silent because not many are publishing news to hype the market.  It is probably because many are silently accumulating not through aggressive means but through slow buy not to stir the market up and start it to uptrend.

Probably we might see an aggressive marketing approach to hype the market of Bitcoin once these "whales" have finished accumulating BTC and think that the need to hype the market is at hand so that they can sell their stash at a higher price.

Yes, there has been a great calm since the halving, and we have not witnessed any significant movement in the price, although there was a strong movement and a large rise in the price before the halving, unusually.

It seems that everyone is in a state of anticipation and no one wants to take any risks. Despite the decline, those with strong hands were reluctant to buy large quantities. Bitcoin has now been in a state of sideways movement for more than a week, and I expect the sideways movement to continue for a relatively long period before we see an important rise.

Even the Fear and Greed Index stands at approximately the middle, at 55, and this also reflects the state of stagnation and anticipation in the market.

Yeah I noticed this also. I also don’t know why because we didn’t have a nasty dip or crash yet. I don’t understand why people are bearish.

I think what caused it was that nasty crash when those bombs were sent and many got liquidated and gave up crypto altogether. Another cause could be the negative flows with the etfs. They were positive for many months since launch and then they got stale and lately they have been negative. Seems people are trying to get out.

What you just pointed out is what I term the lousy nature of many Bitcoin investors and speculators, I've never given it a thought because I know their type. It didn't just start today, it has started the very time Bitcoin has started gaining prominence. These guys can simply be called gamblers, and since many of them predict the price of Bitcoin when it appreciates upward, it is often easy for them to be correct, especially when the asset is in a strong bullish trend. Nonetheless, they are guessing on instincts and they are mostly wrong when they are either outrageous in their prediction or they predict the market when it is either stuck at a point or is in a bearish trend.

And now that their expectation is not working pretty fast, they keep mute and get discouraged. Wait till the Bitcoin price is moving higher, especially if it can breach and hold above $75,000, they will suddenly come out of their hiding and start running their mouths once again.

The silence always happen everytime the dip comes,not only today but even from the past couple of years, because investors lose thier excitement when the dip comes because they know dip is a kind of losing the value from thier holdings. It is the time that almost all coins are low price including our holdings so investors will be silence and wait till the bull comes and sell for profit.

I believe it is because the people who thought that the price of bitcoin will skyrocket after the halving are disappointed as the price of bitcoin didn't go as expected, so they are in silence waiting for the next move. This is the period that no one can speculate any price, because bitcoin has proven to a lot of them that it is impossible to predict the next price movement of bitcoin.

On the other hand, the OGs who already understand how the market works that after the halving, it takes few months before the bull run comes are also sitting and watching with relaxed mind waiting to see what happens next.

It's because they were fed hopium and aped into bitcoin hoping that it will react to it like it reacted to ETF news. People who did that are nothing but greedy speculators who clearly wanted to make some fiat money on this move and dump bitcoin as soon as it pumped, so they made all their x50 leveraged positions and waited but nothing happened so they slowly begun to crumble under pressure, selling at a loss and that liquidated the rest of them and we fell 20%. That whole move was made and unmade by leverage traders.
Bitcoin will go up at its own pace and if you can't wait for it, don't come crying you missed it, that's my message to speculators.

The reason why everyone is silent about the speculation of Bitcoin is not even as a result of the DIP that have be occurring and reoccurring after the halving but it is because the market is not yet balanced for now so as soon as it moves pass this $64k down it has been fluctuating for some time now and moves close to $69 or $70k you will see some upward movement in the price of Bitcoin, the speculation can begin again. Already an ATH of $100k has been speculated from now till 2025 so it is not about chanting it that will make the price get to that point but with conspicuous buying and hodling can help the price increase to another level

After the Bitcoin Halving event the market usually undergoes to a certain drop, which actually happened but didn't really drop the huge amount that I was expecting, I mean the market price today was actually quite high but pretty much stabilized at that price range, this usually happened since the pattern in the Bitcoin halving timeline bullrun is gonna pop up in the next year, so the Bullrun was probably going to happen in 2025, that just means that there was no actual activity that is going to happen at this time, so investors and traders are just on holding period, no news is going to actually pop up at this moment since most of the traders are on hold and accumulation period. Still, there was for sure a lot of prediction and speculation still in this period but most of it expected the market to blow like next year or something not right now.

It's a good time to accumulate more Bitcoin since there was no hype in the market, when there is some movement and pump in the market for sure there will be a lot of speculations and predictions that is going to hype the market encouraging a lot of investors to invest on Bitcoin again. So accumulate Bitcoin now while its still a good opportunity because when the market start to pump its gonna be difficult to buy Bitcoin at a discount since it wasn't going to drop that easily.

I do not understand the people who expected it to go up because after every halving the price went down a bit. But, we are going to see it rise eventually, we just need to make sure that we are going to do fine, that has to be the most important part of this deal, and could get it be a lot better with time.

I think it is going to be very important, we should just focus on what we could do and with that in mind I think that we are going to increase by the end of the year. So all those people who sold, will regret later on that they sold because we are going to make a lot of money from it. Obviously not those people, because they will get in way too late when it is already high, because they did not buy when it was low, they sold at the same time.

Before the halving, there was high expectations that we're going to see a massive bull run, this could be because of the price surge before the halving, that even made it possible to see a new ATH before it. I think that the approval of Bitcoin ETF triggered a lot of excitements, because of the massive price increase that followed it, now halving has ended and the excitement has suddenly ceased because of the price dip. I know that it's just a matter of time and the price predictions or speculations will become more exciting and loud, when we enter bull run.

If you ask me, I must say that we've been experiencing a bull run since the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETFs. Floating around $60K for months doesn't seem normal to me at all, it is clearly a sign of how massively the ETFs impacted the market, resulting in the current price.

As for this year's halving, the expectations of many were not met as things turned out to go the opposite way. The expectations and excitement of the ETFs' approval seem to have overshadowed that of the halving, leaving us with a range of prices that we keep seeing, which is not aligned with the history of halving.

Nothing has changed. When the market dips, everyone is disappointed but not the new comers. That's how the mood changes quickly when we're just looking at the reds in the market.

But I have never seen that the predicitons where gone when everything has been up and nice with people telling their high predictions.

Don't be so hasty.

Why you guys want to see your predictions or expectations reached when we're not yet even a month passed when the halving's done?

I doubt people are silence. Perhaps in your location people do are silent because they are scared of the market.

To be honest here i do not see dip in the market. I was expecting something below 50k maybe 45k in the price of Bitcoin so am kind of surprised what may have brought about the silent. Because many people did not consider the small price movement to be a dip, even if any price below the ATH can be seen to be a bear market.

It seems we are too optimistic about the price movement of Bitcoin. The solution to that is patience and nothing else.

You have also made a convincible point, the speculations now is literally no more headed on the increments of Bitcoin but at the depreciative value.

I got to think otherwise that during the bullish event the speculation was an encouragement or distraction that investors may feel good to had make lot of profits or keep holding with your Bitcoin assets while at this moment,
the market influence is focused on encouraging Investors to buy now that the price has gone weak.

So  it happens to be an opportunity attracting more investors to come buying and hodl while the market rise is expected to come at the skyrocket to the bull-run but investors who are emotionally sentimental can actually sell their assets with the speculations that Bitcoin would fall lower than expected.

Well I am not surprised. This year we had the ETF approval and halving and both theories were proved to be incorrect.

1) ETF approval - everyone expected it to be a sell the news type of event. Because that is what happened when the Bitcoin futures launched, coinbase IPO and Bitcoin futures etf. We dumped after the approval but we hit ATH anyways. Who would of known?

2) Halving - everyone expected it to rally after the halving. However its becoming stale and trading sideways. Its still early however after the halving and we can still go on a crazy bull run but it seems people are losing interest already and going back to trading GME on the stock market.

I don't pay attention to them because I don't trust any person with big influence to give a truly honest advice. They have more reasons to manipulate the market instead of trying to make everyone rich. In Bitcoin they could be telling that the price will reach some high target while they themselves are actively selling. Or they could be skeptical yet quietly buying without triggering a bull run.

It's not silent rather the real investors and those who knows about the historical data and sequence of bitcoin price after halving has nothing to worry over the price at currently except for those who doesn't know how it works could keep worrying over this period, and even as that they knows that certainly the market would get back to it base. Meaning its only for a few moment and that is how the market works and must continue to function this way till will enter full bull run, and you have to also understand that going up and down of the market (bitcoin price) is the effects of trading, so if the market remains stable or doesn't obey it's principles that means the law of buy and sell has been broken or defeated. Therefore keep in mind that bitcoin price must go up and down for effective trading.

Bitcoin market is generally unpredictable. Nowadays that the global economy is in ruins with high inflation and recession at the same time, things become even less predictable in bitcoin market. Then we have the sudden big drop where price went below a strong support at $60k, so it is understandable to see people get confused about the market situation and stop posting "predictions" or rather speculation...

I'm still looking at interest rates and inflation to soo if they either lower the rates of if they keep it up BUT inflation blows up and goes to the moon as high rates fail to contain it! Either way bitcoin should go up if any of these two happen.

Bitcoin price speculation and predictions do not always have to be visible. On platforms like x.com, speculation and price predictions still exist if you pay attention.
After the halving, we admit that the price of Bitcoin experienced a correction from a price above $73k back to a price below $69k or even below. Even now the price is still difficult to get above $69k.
Although this is only normal and some people think that the difficulty in breaking through prices above $70k is only temporary in preparation for an increase higher.
If I observe current conditions, the market is not bad.

There is no reason to worry that the speculations have been silent, it is normal. If bull turns to bear and a slow steady market, it also usually slow the market sentiment and noise. Why you will see this noise settling down is because the bull came sometime before the halving and that hype has died down for now but definitely the price will raise above the current ATH even beyond our expectations.

One of the major reason that the price must raise is that, it is traditional for btc price to increase beyond existing ATH after halving, so that has not happened. The current ATH happened before halving and so we are about to see an ATH caused because of the phenomenon of halving which is block splitting and reward for miners. So it is not a ruse that price will increase before the next ATH in 4 years time.

If you are really just that new into this market then you would really be having that kind of impression but on the moment that you've been here on this market for long years or been a while then these kind of conditions or situations is really just that like an ordinary on this space on which means that you would really be just that simply sit down and wait up for some recovery or some significant movement. We do know that there are indeed times or conditions that the price would really be that moving sideways or something that be in consolidation on which means that it the moment or condition that it would really be on this way and if you are
someone whose lacking that awareness and experience then you would really be panicking out or would really be having those questions.

This is why you should really be that making yourself that getting used to it because on the moment that you do freak out then you would be losing up your focus on the things that you must
do because you do let yourself being stirred up because you've been expecting on something.

Aligned on your statement but the problem I see here is the number of so called influencers who calls the randon prediction about Bitcoin when it's trending upwards and to be honest it's misleading most of the time and I can testify as I had been following few of them in the past and they have huge followers but when we check their predictions it all fails and I believe either they should be accurate which is impossible and if not they shouldn't randomly be suggesting market conditions just for more views and profit

I think we have always been in bull market for a long time and not even the recent retracements changed that fact. In trading, what the market did recently is called compression or consolidation which is a way the market builds momentum before big moves occurs in the market. What is certain is that after the compression comes big moves but it is not certain which direction the big move will occur but from the events that happened recently, it will likely be in the bullish direction.

Fair enough 2 to 5 months time from now is ample time for the market to truly give us the direction it will move to. That should be a strong and sustained move not driven by hype and fear, although such moves have its way of generating hypes.

At some point in the market I believe people usually gets tired of prediction because the volatility of bitcoin is now on a state of deep confusion because the price is not showing a trend yet it's just fluctuating around 60kish to 65kish price so most people don't seem it necessary to keep predicting.

Or maybe some are enjoying the profit they made when bitcoin broke it's ATH. Or maybe the market is boring to an extent that people just want to relax and enjoy what they planted long time ago

Let me add to your predictions @LFC_Bitcoin. My prediction,1BTC = $120,000 before the third quarter of 2025

Market is definitely getting boring but even during a boring period where price only goes sideways we continue seeing speculation because this period is usually the launching step for the next bull run. And remember we are in the post-halving time where the fresh supply being sold has been reduced by 50% and that has to have a significant effect on the supply and demand balance leading to a rise.

The supply of Bitcoin has not decreased, but the income of Bitcoin miners has been greatly reduced by more than 50%. The level of reward given to miners is very little while demand is increasingly high and maintenance costs and all the requirements for mining are also high. So there should indeed be the potential for an increase in Bitcoin prices soon.

Your assessment is correct!
The significant effect that has cost the market to be boring at this time shows the validity of the law of supply which says the lower supply the high the quantity demanded, the reduction in block reward by 50% is quite effective in the market but we can not also forget that the boringness of the market can also be as a result of market sentiment where investors awaits the effect of reduced block supply hence speculation in this forum and outside has reduced from the observation of Op

We can also consider this boringness during post-halving period to be a result of historical trends since we (investors) have some experience of halving effect in the price of bitcoin, BTC price could be less speculated because of past trends expectations and sentiments.

You are right, price predictions and speculations may not always be visible but I know they are still present in the market. It’s just that current price is now in a good position although it has not exceed above $70k but we all know it’s heading there. However, still price correction might eventually back again right after bitcoin reaches another significant price so we should still prepare for it and accumulate more bitcoin if possible.

Bitcoin price predictions and speculations will always be a part of an unpredictable market. The moment it stops, which I guess won’t be possible, then I think this volatile market will not be interesting anymore.

it is natural to see that we are currently in a sideways position and this makes many investors bored because of the uncertain conditions. and it has also been previously predicted by many investors, that after the halving, the market will not immediately experience bullishness, but we will enter a sideways phase and it will only take a few months for it to increase. so right now many investors are focusing on consolidating for the bull market later.

People are still making predictions about the market but we cannot deny that before the halving there were many positive predictions about bitcoin increasing in price and creating a new ATH after the halving. But after the halving was completed, bitcoin continued to adjust and showed no clear signs of price increase , which made most investors discouraged and did not want to make too many predictions about the market.  I'm also a regular user of X , and I've also noticed that bitcoin's predictions have become much quieter than they were months before the halving .
Even on this forum, people still make predictions about the price of bitcoin , but it is clearly becoming much quieter than before.
