Bitcoin Forum

any announcements in the next days that might bring bitcoin price up/down significantly?

Don;t know exactly about next days,but before two days,it is said that indian government has taken decision in favour of legalizing bitcoin.That would show a huge positive impact on bitcoin price and we could see its effects in the upcoming days.

all i can think of is more drama regarding SegWit. so far SegWit2x has gained a huge support from miners (85.4% from the time it started being signaled) but apparently core developers are saying No to it. and that is causing a lot of trouble specially down the road.

No one can be sure of that. Everything went very quickly and beyond expectations. But some time ago we were surprised by various news that mentions many countries that will begin to adopt bitcoin. Of course this is a very remarkable thing, an increase in bitcoin prices will occur. But this is just a speculation, everything can be different and change quickly.

If people know, then it is already priced.

If people don't know, then there will be no one to tell you

All are based on speculation and events happening on bitcoins but still its no guarantee but the good adoptions fuds ands speculation are some pointers that we can rely on to point that bitcoins would pump at this point but try to research for ourselves to see on what is the past result and current result so that we may have a pointer on how to became profitable by staking our coins. Althought theirs no guarantee at all with this but good the good thing there is we try our very best to earn by speculating and staking.

Agreed, with bitcoin most of the time everything happens out of expectation. Fluctuation with bitcoin as well other cryptocurrency is common and just because of this users make an earning through trading. If this has got a stable price and variation happens only for certain time period users won't be much interested towards it.

It is known as correction fluctuation on markets. Let's be patient and see how can we go up ;)

This is great news that we are all looking forward to. With official recognition means more support for bitcoin. This is a good start because usually other countries will emulate when bitcoin users can successfully implement it so their country's economy will improve. This is a good step for the future of bitcoin.

I somewhat agree and somewhat disagree

Insiders won't tell you anything since that would basically mean losing a competitive advantage and thus missing profits. In fact, they will likely tell you the reverse so that they could earn even more dough. That said, you can still obtain useful info from trollboxes at exchanges, chat rooms, forum posts, and similar things. For example, a few hours before the Bitcoin price crashed in early 2017, there were reports from the clients of the Chinese exchanges that they had been disallowed to withdraw bitcoins due to an order received by these exchanges from the Chinese Central bank (PBoC). And people who were "in the know" could safely close their Bitcoin positions before the price plummeted

Honestly you do not need any big announcements from any big corporate nor from any government.
To see bitcoin prices to go up, you can also contribute like convincing your friends to adopt bitcoin up to the level they could invest.

When there will be more number of people will be spreading bitcoin awareness like these, we can be sure bitcoin will be having places in more quick time. We are not doing these and finding bitcoin trading is boring :(

Insiders will respond to the information via the market (buy or sell), and then spread the information.  They need people to follow them to make money.

it will actually pump this coming days because i heard that some country actually legalized bitcoin from their country i don't know how it will be legalized in fact it's all over the net haha but in my country we actually have an application for bitcoin to our currency. and im glad to be part of it. we can pay electric bill buy load for games and other benefits from it.

Fluctuation with the cryptocurrency is common and this cannot​ get rid of the digital currency. Only the volatility might decrease at times based on the adoption happening in relation to the supply of bitcoin to the demand it has got in certain time frame.

With more countries formaly accepting and regulating Bitcoin the price will go up and this could be expected in the next period. Fluctuation and volatility are natural characteristics if Bitcoin and this can't be avoided but this doesn't necessary only represent the bad sides. Without volatility how could traders earn their profit.

Never heard any news that will impact the bitcoin ecosystem in positive or negative way. I think price fluctuation is part of bitcoin market. It you observed the price last days or so, its like being stable from 2600-2700$. I guess you don't need to worry, not yet, we have to wait till the Aug 1 Segwit2x activation and see how it will affect the price.

You cannot expect more countries to adopt bitcoins tomorrow itself. It might take time. But to have immediate fluctuations, I too guess making more people to adopt bitcoin will be the easiest way to have better consequences. But at the same time, convincing people adopting bitcoin is not that easier also.

As we can seen the price is gradually increase from $2,600 to $2,700 today from the price drop $2,300 we hit back at $2,700 in few days..
Well i think this is also because of ethereum issue and about bitcoin segwit activation that is why the fluctuate or movement of the price of bitcoin is increasing if you want to make a profit better to buy more bitcoin..
The price of bitcoin is not stable but because of the news of segwit  for other people or miners they are thinking that bitcoin will be increase more value.. and for other people they are afraid about segwit..

There might be some hype/drama/fud on august, when segwit2x is supposed to get activated. If there will be hardfork at that time, we might see some big red on bitcoin and overall crypto price. But I am optimistic about segwit2x activation, if it works like supposed than we might see a good pump rather than a dump.

I expect also for a good pump to be better than dump when that time comes on August, eventhough the rumors about segwit has come to be more worst and fearing to other investors. Although it doesn't affect me, but seemingly It made me become more brave to remain firm on my stand with bitcoin's fluctuating price. We are a growing user of bitcoins already and that should be worthy to stay focused and stay positive all the time, so you be patiently waiting for that better price to be reached after fluctuations become stable for a moment price has been targeted on top.

Yes, like I'm so tired reading this drama on august 01, why not lets be patient about these things and trust segwit2x.
Just be positive about this. Volatility is always around the corner so much better set aside our speculations.

Yeah, august 1 has been hyped big. None is sure about the reality, and users too haven't realized this to be an speculative approach to the market. With segwit2x itself everything good happens causing a positive impact on the bitcoin's market.

It is crazier than that.  We work with the local merchants and get them set up to take Bitcoin.  When we worked with just a few and they were unaware of each other, it was pretty easy.

Now that the numbers are growing there have been a couple of small groups of businesses that choose to gather together with us as a group and go through each learning step and development of the local infrastructure.

They really need to group up together to build a strong group to strengthen their businesses for the upcoming fluctuation of bitcoin. They have to be ready when the bubbles will burst out. Although it may not happen now maybe a couple of months or more it will occur since other countries is already accepting bitcoins.

True, August 1 has been hyped already and we also don't know the impact it'll make after what happens on that date. In fact I've read an article stating India also joined in so I'm pretty sure in a few days or probably over the weekend bitcoins price will try to pump up but that's just my speculation though, no basis yet based on its charts currently.

What is the meaning of States to accept bitcoin now. To devalue the Treasury in the case of the collapse of crypto. No one will do. Perhaps the rumors on 01 Aug spread in order to buy cheaper coins. I don't believe in the Apocalypse.

As what you have said, no one is really sure on the Segwit2x activation on Aug 1 so we can't predict what the price could be. I'm just hoping though that it can bring a positive impact on the bitcoin ecosystem. I have read a few saying that the price could stalled or even go down after this date. But whatever happens, I will still hold on my bitcoins.

It is really hard to predict the short term impact of bitcoin and their price valuation,any news could bring the price of bitcoin and could trigger a sell and the majority of the reason could come up from the uncertainty regarding the network upgrade.

Well knowing about bitcoin price next is being a new world dream right now. Pfft
Since I am not a whale or holding high amount of btc, I only follow the candlestick and read all crypto news everyday to predict what will happen next day to Bitcoin price.

Honestly I do not think those scalability issues are making bitcoin prices fluctuating. Because if we consider scalability issues are impacting market then there would not have any of this much upward rally happened. Traders have ignored scalability issue some long back itself and prices are moving upward just due to Japan's adoption.

I think some people  are viewing bitcoin as a magic lamp and expecting to Make instant, continued, profits. It is going to fluctuate folks, it is a living, breathing, tradable, commodity. It will go up long term and it will go down at times. If you cannot stomach the swings simply hodl.

It will be different in some exchanges, bitcoin price fluctuate a lot affected by buy and sell orders from people.
To predict it will increase in the next day, watch over to what people talking about in your exchanges, whether they think it will rise or fall. Then, mostly people will buy at cheaper price, look at the market average price, compare to your exchanges price to decide whether it is lower or higher.

This is completely right. Bitcoin in the long term will definitely go up because there is only so many that can be produced by miners, but short term a lot of people worry about oh, is this going to crash or is it going to go up. This kind of worry is good because if you can get yourself a nice deal at the bottom of the market and sell at the top, and rinse and repeat then obviously it's going to be more profitable than bagholding. But overworrying isn't the way to go.

@OP, i think there are two things right now that will affect bitcoin price drastically:

1) Legality of bitcoin in countries, whether more countries legalize it will have an influence in short term pricing
2) Whether other altcoins gets pumped or not. If ETH recovers then bitcoin will probably go down, and vice versa.

i really don't think that legalizing bitcoin or not would affect bitcoin price all that much, it might increase a little but in the end it won't be that much of a difference that it makes.

On the other hand, i think that the date of the UASF is so close the number one thing that is going to affect bitcoin's price is whether more mining power signals segwit support or BU support. That will either drive price up or down.

I know that the 1st August date is over exaggerated in some cases, some people even seem to think that bitcoin is dying because of this day, but it is a pretty important date that everyone should know about.

We all wait a segwit.  Whatever happens this can change the bitcoin price. Increased or decreased, this will change the situation. We are all looking forward to this.

Segwit's approval will be another great event will be happen on bitcoins and surely theirs something good will be happen if this one will be implemented but I wonder how things would go for it since theirs so many people speculating good about it and maybe we can only see the result of it after august month will ccome.

Agreed, right now majority of the users were expecting the segwit and experience the price increase or decrease happening with it. Long back itself it's speculated that once on segwit the price will peak. Let's wait and see, also the price right now is not varying much. It is fluctuating within certain limits.

That has made it even crazier, there are questions among them as to what exchange to use as a common acceptance price, do they use these confirmation or those.  A single client, asking a single question was pretty open to accept the answer and move on.

At this very moment, we will just have to wait days before Australia gets on board. This is a milestone for Bitcoin that may trigger another significant price increase in Bitcoin's price. We've witnessed what happened to the price when Japan accepts bitcoin then and since Australia is next in line, the same thing is probable to happen.

We can not predict a bitcoin price. Probably the closest is information about segwit. This can have a positive impact on bitcoin prices. So the closest time now is how the results of segwit, we all crave the price increase for sure.

well the problem is that segwit2x is not segwit, and require an hard fork, this mean that we might get just an altcoin, which will carry a different value, and the value of the original fork will remain unchanged


not always like that, could be that they know but they are waiting, this make everyone wait each other, and result in a price stuck like it's happening now

then everyone start buying like a madman and the value go high suddenly, i see this many times when a bad or good news happen, so it's not always priced in

this is a bit like when the new apple store open you see all the people getting in all at once...

SegWit2x is SegWit plus some crap which requires a hard fork

It is the miners' way to make Bitcoin Core look is if the latter are obstinate while the former are ready to compromise. I don't know whom they are going to fool and whether they will manage to fool anyone at all but I can't see it as a compromise but rather as yet another attempt to stall Bitcoin development and improvement. Apart from that, you can't possibly equal a soft fork to a hard fork and then call it a compromise. If they want it, they should finally fork off (hard) and get done with that

I rather think that anyone who's waiting for segwit will already have priced in its activation, given that it's virtually confirmed. Whatever swings we're seeing now are already a result of those expectations. Even in the unlikely event it doesn't activate, we won't see too much of a drop off, at least not when it's already trading just a bit above 2,500 like now.

This is no more than your fantasy

First, it is not about someone (or anyone, for that matter) waiting for SegWit (or anything else, for the record) who prices it in. It is the market as a whole which prices in expectations, not some random dudes taken separately. And I wouldn't say that the market is sure about SegWit. Further, I'd sooner say that the market is in fact indecisive and undecided currently. That's the reason why the price is right now trading in a rather narrow range of 2,400-2,700 dollars per coin. If there were an established sentiment, either bullish or bearish, the price would have either surged way above 3,000 dollars already or crashed well below 2,000 by now

Segwit have been into controversial issue for a long. This time too we don't know what's gonna happen at the end. The price fluctuations were high and it seems the right time to profit involving into trading activities. Even arbitrage trading seems effective, because the price has gone as low as $2500 in some exchanges.

Now, they seem to think that there is an undercurrent of business versus business, with one taking coins at this price and another giving another price. It is now a political mess, as all things become when people gather together.

For example, it is pointless to trade whenever there's a considerable financial uncertainty.
It's used by the majority of traders to have a clearer comprehension of an investment based on its price history rather than expecting some news for daily basis.

The announcement of Segwit activation on August first did some major impact on Bitcoin today. As we approach the date, we will see sensitive volatility on Bitcoin's price. Many users are uncertain of the effect of the event and triggers some to sell their coins before we reach that date. This is a normal occurrence, I believe. However, after the said activation, we may find Bitcoin soaring again.

It's pointless to sell as the activation of SegWit2X is very near. It's more likely that the price will go up further, instead of down. Only if things start to look ugly people will immediately react by liquidating Bitcoin, or directly convert it to a particular altcoin as hedge. Current fluctuations are more the result of a market waiting for the next step. As soon as SegWit is locked in, and after that activated, just look how the market will react....

Well we have Australia news unless it is suspended :)  This will come in event on July, Australia will accept bitcoin as money and will not tax bitcoin transactions.  I just hope that this will have a Japan like effect where people got FOMO and pushed bitcoin price to double in just a small amount of time.  Another thing is the August event, which makes lots of investor to be worried because of a chain split.  So this two news will definitely make bitcoin price fluctuate wildly.

Activation of segwit 2x in August 1st is expected to make bitcoin price rise high.Segwit activation may reduce transaction fees and it may encourage more users to use bitcoins which would increase demand for more bitcoins.

Even if bitcoin falls then it will grow 4-5 times more.

It's very common to fluctuations of price. Day to day  the price of bitcoin may vary,but after the price of bitcoin raised to 4000$.The value of bitcoin is not lower to 4000$. Which shows the stability of bitcoin ever.Just think many doubt the value of bitcoin will reach 3000$.Now it crossed 4000$.

Wow, although your predict in two month ago, but in present this predict become true like your said. But the problem about transaction fees and blockchain of Bitcoin still can't fixed, we need wait until November SegWit complete.

Bitcoin is really very strong today due to increase in popularity and thus demand. Many investors are turning towards cryptocurrencies. This year is the best year so far for the cryptocurrencies. July was the only month of huge dip that too because all the FUD created because of hardfork and not a natural correction. Added to that I don't see any such event lined up that can really lead to dip. Bitcoin will continue to grow this year with some short term dips. We will reach $6000 definitely this year

yes that is right to say that bitcoin is becoming more and more secure and stronger as time pass, and hope in future it will continue become more stronger because the users of bitcoin are increasing from time to time and they are making bitcoin more secure and popular.

Bitcoin fluctuating price is very normal that usually increase and may decrease. Many users come and used btc that may grow daily. Yes even bitcoin may fall it will grow for more years and I believe it has a bright future.

Segwit is already activated what we need to wait is for the lightning network to be deployed, the hard fork planned by the miners is not something that comes from segwit it comes from the miners.

Actually, the fluctuating price of bitcoin is very normal and I think no one can predict what will be the price of bitcoin. In addition to that, there are lot of factors why the price of bitcoin was not stable or fluctuating. Lastly, I hope the price of bitcoin will rapidly increase in the near future.

The fact of the matter is that I'm already watching another drop today, let it not be too big. Of course, this is a little frustrating and alarming, because by the end of the year everyone is preparing, in the hope of seeing all 5,000 dollars for Bitcoin. The conversation will take away a lot, and some of them are very negative. But nevertheless I very much believe in Bitcoin and I hope for a stable growth of the crypto currency.

Sometimes fluctuations make you feel bad when the price is gets dump, but the bitcoin price is whenever moving up and trending adoption in the news sites is attraction to the bitcoins in the market. If you have bitcoin or concern the buy, please do that and hold for some years that will take you to next level in your life.

If we hold for a year we should gain better patience and develop self control to not even have panic ideas, when dumping happened which affects price to lower down. Actually fluctuations teached us about how to managed our own self and if you pass that current situations that might give you doubts and fears to stay firm with coin holdings.

Holding bitcoin for a long time is a better idea, but since I was a bitcoin earner I always spend my bitcoin because I used it for my family needed. But before I sell my bitcoin in the market, I review first the value of bitcoin to avoid lost of income.

Sometimes its better to sell and buy lower, like before November fork.

I am also waiting for any sign or announcement about the price of bitcoin in the coming weeks because I haven't sell yet my earnings for this week and I'am planning to hold them maybe up to the end of this year..Because of too many fluctuations happens this 2nd quarter I am hoping that the price will go higher than $4500 before the end of 2017.

I hope so, bitcoin value now of bitcoin was smoothly fall down and I don't think if it is continues decreasing. But I believe that this is the perfect timing to invest on bitcoin, because I trust bitcoin, I believe in bitcoin potential.

Doesn't seem to be fluctuating very much, or perhaps you're looking at a different set of candlesticks then we are. Because what we're seeing is about a $500 up and down business marker over the past 3 weeks which is not a fluctuation is a standard Market call.  Also I don't see bitcoin falling or even going up much and will move around 3800$ to 4200$ for a month or so.

I notice the fluctuation these days though. But I guess it will still rise again because it's just a normal case. As I've seen the fluctuating effect there's no problem on it as it keeps circulating. The movement of the coin won't get affected the investors' investments and therefore it will be growing even more. For now let's keep on waiting for the better changes of bitcoin's price. It's either it rises or it falls we can't stop the benefits of it for it is still profitable. I will wait for more great side of bitcoin.

It seems that the market is waiting, we are getting closer to another great decision in the world of bitcoin, segwit2x hard fork is coming and we are not sure what it is going to happen.

Fluctuating bitcoin prices do affect our beliefs about predictions we think to the next. But some said, the economists who often make a predictions's true said bitcoin prices will increasing more than what is currently seen, especially in October. Staying don't let our steps are wrong or careless, we'll see and hopefully Bitcoin can continues to giving good hope and continues to be able to push our finances.

Price fluctuation is common with bitcoin as well other digital currencies. If there is no fluctuation surely the price might be stable but the same could have not gained such a increased popularity as the present. Also just because of the fluctuating price people are getting into it to gain more profits through different earning sources available.

Indeed, price fluctuation is a daily thing for crypto market. Actually if works at our end specially day traders. No there is nothing wrong with it and we should take advantage of it. That is why there will be no stable price for bitcoin, it may experience bullish trend but it will not last and the price could fluctuate anyway.


If we are already here long enough, we already understand that no matter what the price happened to the price, whether its going up or down, it doesn't really matter because we are all here for the long haul and we want the price to increase thus, giving us profit.

Drama segwit or hardfork version two will definitely come in the future, we have to react to it and get ready for it. Basically we have to prepare the money to buy Bitcoin before Segwit happens because at that time the price is going down.

It is better to buy before segwit indeed. I couldn't agree less.

Yes, that is said to happen in November this year. I hope there will be another round of free coins after that. Gotta have to pool over all my BTC for that.

Indeed. It is usual with a currency.
The scaling debate, the good stories release by media and bitcoin is in the lips of many, thats why many investors invest in bitcoin as result of its ATH price. And maybe the correction again that will happen in November will be the factors of the fluctuation. However, bitcoin is really unpredictable like before August 1 many speculate that btc price will have a major downfall but things turn the other way, bitcoin hits its ATH and many was happy to this. Just expect that we will hit $5000 by the next few months.

Interesting  enough there has not been so much speculation or drama about segwit during the time of its activation, really expected excited investors either panic buying or panic selling....nothing like this happened  looks like we slowly maturing and understanding these upgrades are meant to make bitcoin great

The thing with segwit is that there was the bicoincash issue too. People did have some doubts, but also wanted to hold their BTC in order to get more BCC/BCH. In fact, there were huge movements in lending, some people offering 5% daily and more in polo because they wanted to hoard BTC to get BCH.

Thats normal in the market because anytime the price gets high there must be a market correction on the price.  8)

We are waiting for the next price fluctuations especially significant one by November because of another hardfork issue coming up by then. We should expect bitcoin price to be in the range trend from now till then. Correction is underway maybe next week but is not going to be a serious fluctuations as it will be like taking profit and reinvest by traders. In which ever way now is the best time to buy bitcoin especially for long term investors.

I think the next time the price fluctuates would most likely be in November when another hardfork is coming. So as usual we should all be aware and cautious and maybe expect already the price of bitcoin and other altcoins to fluctuate. Then everyone would be getting ready for December because I know for sure a lot of people will be converting their bitcoins to fiat money.

Offering 5% daily is gone and today, the profit for lending don't high as your said, because that time just is exchange and whales want kill margin trader have long order take loss.

Bitcoin seems to have built resistance. It is in a bullish pattern. This can change yes, but it indicates that the price is on an upward trend

November should be a scorching hot month in the Bitcoin world indeed

Personally, I don't have any doubts about that. That said, I don't expect the price volatility to rise just in November only. We had seen the severe price fluctuations well before the split (i.e. August, 2nd), actually starting this summer, i.e. two months prior the event date. In this way, we could well expect Bitcoin volatility to start surging right now all the way till November. This is how any such news or event is being played upon by the market. It was the same with the Bitcoin Cash split-off, it was basically along the same lines with the 2016 reward halving, and likely with many other similar events

People who convert bitcoins to fiat just because they are afraid of the hard fork are acting too soon. We know that the last hard fork only resulted in an increase in price, although there was a lot of fud floating around before that.

The fluctuations in price are to be expected especially since bitcoin is such a new project so it is natural that its movements are a lot more pronounced than people are used to.
