What is everyone predicting as the bottom on the market for ETH and BTC for 2019

I will not make any predictions at this time because this year everything will be very different from last year. I will personally place my trust in the market this year and will continue my new investments. Put your trust in your favorite coin and continue until the market enters the up trend

It's impossible to exactly now the bottom, just see the market regularly and try to make profits from it. Anyway, I wouldn't call both of them worthless bullshit, it's too emotional. If you look from the beginning, we're still on profits (Bitcoin start from $0 and now it's worth $3,000). It's just a matter of perspective. Don't try to catch a falling knife or a train, trade wisely. Easier said than done, but it's the golden rule.

Every one wants BTC & ETH to perform well and go ATH in 2019 but if you go with the big whales and market perspective then i think if everyone is going to sell in high then who are that going to purchase in high, until their is no purchase from now how will the price move up.

So according to this scenario i think in start we will be breaking the $3000 level in first quarter of 2019 and if their is panic selling then we can see price moving nearby $2000 level and that will be the good time to buy as it will give you immediate 20 to 30% profit in 1 or 2 days of the panic selling.

No, the bottomed already happened last year, it will be a different game this year.
All I see is just green light and the bulls making it rain another big investment in the crypto market.
We have enough last year and it already made a lot of investors to quit and regret, while some remain to enjoy the profit they are going to get this year.

Just because its a new year doesn't mean that it will completely reverse the entire bear market of 2018.

We need it to keep closing higher and higher and make newer daily highs and newer daily higher lows. So if $3100 breaks , then its not looking good but if we can close above the $4200-$4400, then we might get into the $5000-$6000 region which has tons of resistance.

I'm sorry but it's really hard to say if we already hit the bottom already specially Bitcoin. Although I may believed that we have bottom already because the price dip at a astonishing 80%-90% ( based on the their last all-time-high). If you will go around the forum though, you will see that others predicted that Bitcoin might still go below the $3000 level. It's a bit scary to see that price, but look at the bright side and take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate more and adjust your investing plan as we go along.

For BTC, I'll be sticking with $2500, and anything lower than that is a total catastrophe. We now see that Bakkt has reached its initial funding stage goal, though the federal government shutdown of US might affect its launch date, and would, once again be postponed until god knows when. This might severely affect any pushes done by the bulls during the first quarter of the year, and can once again be a proving ground of who controls the market for the rest of the year, and could eventually lead to capitulation and the bottoming of the price for bitcoin.

I hope that the lowest prices of Ethereum and Bitcoin have ended last year, and many want that in 2019 crypto prices will rise again at an even higher price, even though the price recovery will not be able to grow quickly, but in my opinion prices will crawl back going up and in the future it will rise as high as we never thought before.

Bitcoin will hit as low as $3400 or so at worst, I doubt it will go any lower but this is bitcoin and it will do whatever it wants so we can't really guarantee anything, who knows maybe it will go lower maybe this is the lowest it will go, but I just "assume" it won't go lower than $3400.

Ethereum on the other hand has a huge increase up ahead, with the new hard fork people will want to be part of the new stake family and will want to buy and keep making eth for a long time, the ICO owners that receive ETH for their tokens will keep their coins and stake as much as they can so all that combined ETH will probably no go below 120 ever again, probably 130 is a good number. These are all of course made up numbers, I do not have any reason why I said these numbers aside from gut feeling, I have no proof to back any of this up.

I think both ETH and BTC have already touched bottoms of this downtrend, now market may move upward slowly. I do not find any reason for both these cryptos to go further down if I consider both technical as well as sentimental analysis. We can see $6000 for BTC soon but pls remember this all is my personal opinion. Market may prove me wrong as there is nothing sure shot here. For ETH I am not able to find the next target but last low in 80s should be the bottom this time.

btc bottom may come in summer time i think

I think 3k is bottom and there is no logical reason behind this. I can not imagine that the price goes below 3k because after that, even bottom of the bottom is possible. And Ethereum's price will increase related to fork. This is inevitable but afterwards it will return to its price.

I think the bottom is near the middle of this very tedious bearish trend, I think the market has also been very saturated with this situation.
some predictions say that bitcoin will drop if it doesn't touch 4000usd soon.
We will see in this first quarter of 2019, if I allowed to say, it will be a significant increase in February, this is related to the Chinese New Year.
I hope so.

I am predicting now to be the bottom.  I think we would have more positive news in years to come than we are having now.  Bitcoin might cross above $4000 before end of this year and we are to invest along before it becomes too late for you.

Based on ATH my prediction of the market is still uncertain, everyone wants the market back to the moon and I also hope so, it's just that in crypto nothing is certain so to realize that I think the users, especially the big holders must return to trust and make the demand for crypto. I think because of the actions of a number of people who made panic one of them was a scandalous ICO, I did not believe that there were still many people who carried away investors money using the names ICO and Crypto.

I am speechless on situation of market. I was expecting that it will be get better in last months of 2018 but I was wrong. I believe that no one exactly knows when market is going up and down. Well my prediction for ETH is 500$ and 10000$ for BTC in 2019, if we lock at the lowest price then ETH can touch 50$ and BTC can touch 1500$.

Predictions abd speculations at this time of the year is nothing to hold on to. I could remember early 2018, everybody was predicting BTC to reach over $50k because ofvtge 2017 pump. But we all.saw how 2018 ended in a very sorry state. All we can do is speculate, watch and hope our predictions come through.

I want to talk according to the history of the past market of cryptocurrency. where we can see one year price down more than the previous year and next year price is about 2-20 x than the previous month. So if BTC follows the past history of markets then we can see another bullish movement of cryptocurrency. If it doesn't follow past history then 2019 will be the boring market.

Even how properly we analyzed everything that can we consider as reference for speculation and prediction purposes, it's really unpredictable to determined the "bottom" you are talking about, even just a simple prediction or guess.

What me must focus on, is continous accumulation if people are really optimistic and eyeing for a long term goals in crypto, especially at BTC and ETH.

Anyways I believed this thread should be in Speculation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=57.0)

Maybe because this bear market never end, and bitcoin or ETH itself always up after down for a while. Or maybe that is everyone's hope that bitcoin and ETH will up in this 2019 because they want to take profit.

Hard to figure out where the exact bottom is especially if Bitcoin is always correcting itself to a new consolidation level from 10k to 8k to 6k and now to the 3,000$ level it only means Bitcoin is still finding its footing in and other cryptocurrencies are following it as well. If you are not entirely sold of buying Bitcoin or ETH right now the best thing you can do is to anticipate the reversal for it, you won't get the best price or margin of safety that position traders are looking for but at least you can ride out a profit from it.

According to me people only say what theft use to see and what they actually notice. I am not saying bitcoin at the bottom because it is struggling to rise high and no one actually know was bitcoin sometimes rises thousands of dollars within months. ETH also can increase but it will take more time this year but BTC will grow faster.

Don't predict the bottom any more in 2019 because we are already bearish for too longer so lets built some good vibes among the investors by showing positive thougts about  crypto prices other than predicting the bottom which can make dissappointed when people come to know and this is the rean many investors step back with the fear of losing their capital further.

For ETH I think it has found the bottom already at around $80-$90. As you can see now, it has retaken the 2nd spot in the marketcap so 90% the bottom has been touched. But for bitcoin, it's crazy because we really have any idea if the bearish trend is over so it's possible that we haven't seen the bottom yet as investors are visibly shaken for any negative news that comes out in the media.


On the contrary, based on its historical past, it should be a boring market with the majority of the price trading sideways and the start of the pump is after the block halving (scheduled for 2020). However, as I have said no one can really predict the price, so let's see how the market will react this 2019 and observe if it will still follow it's past history.

most say that this year seems to increase the crypto market. It's not just a speculation. it's true that it's because of the fact that I am aware of the previous price compared to what really changed from the beginning of the year 2019, and I will see the price gradually increased even though it's not enough to grow up and over again and hopefully it continues to rise for our new future. about Bitcoin prices in what i know in 2019 is already off, and hopefully this some sort of sign that things are already getting better in this new year and in 2019 might be the comeback year of ethreum.

History will not have much influence on market prices, changes in bitcoin prices depend on the conditions and situation at that time, so anything can happen this year is bullish or bearish, but at the beginning of this year a positive trend seems to be seen, the prices of Ethereum and BTC keep rising

Still hoping for a large drop off value on Bitcoins.
Maybe atleast $500 per Bitcoins, with this I can gather more Bitcoins in my wallet. Not to mention Eth as for it is slightly dying together with the altcoins.

Another year has come and everybody is still thinking that Crypto will pump up, but they didn't know that its way better to have it on a low value just for a longer time now as we all see that its value might increase again by ten thousand dollars.

Well,  until there is some rising in the price of ether to tune of 50 percent of it's previous alt,  I am still of opinion that we are still in uptrend market for ethereum.  One thing I am sure of however is that we may never see below $100 ether price again!

Bitcoin has been around for 10 years today. Surely people have understood the value of a decentralized money system, otherwise we would not come to this.
As for where it will go from now. Will be new capital flowing in as they see more potential for a decentralized money, and a decentralize enabled when it comes to ethereum

Depends on how the investor treat ethereum and bitcoin. But if they treat bitcoin and ethereum good for sure  the value will up and those people who treat as well gets more money compared to the people who always negatives to this two potential coin.

Ethereum and bitcoin think hitted the highest bottom in the year 2018 and now this is the time to buy more bitcoin and ethereum.

It looks like eth and btc already hit bottom and this year will be the start of a new bullrun. My prediction is that bitcoin will hit 10k and ethereum will touch 1k.  Ethereum will be reducing issuance later this month and they have some very exciting future updates which will help for adoption.

i think we will maintain a steady price till mid 2019. don't expect a quick bull run. the possibility of a bear market is still there. it should not be ruled out. the volumes are not good enough to move the market up. the crazy whales can still draw this market. be careful.  monitor your chat properly.

Bitcoin and ethereum has bottom out when it both hit $3000 and $82 last two weeks and I believe in 2019 it will set for recovery.  Remember that in predictions we are saying our views about the market and not in other ways round.  However our views is not enough for us to makes an inform decision about investments but a guide to that.

We have seen lot of prediction in last year 2018 from well known crypto specialist. But all prediction failed and Bitcoin touched $3K. So what is the value this kind of prediction? To be honest Bitcoin walking his own way. Whatever we analyse and make chart really its for only self satisfaction. Some times analysis working fine and we called us genius. No one could predict exactly where is the bottom on crypto market. So from my side I have no prediction, it might cross $10K or it might cross $3k. But I would like to think positive since I am a Bitcoin holder. Seems market is up trend on starting this year. Eventually we can expect something good for us.     

We know that bitcoin has more potential than ETH and people trust more bitcoin as compare to ETH that is the reason why people are saying bitcoin will recover faster than ETH but we cannot say that ETH will be in dark. As we know both are crypto coins and No crypto coin ever dies, rise and fall is just because of volatility.

It is not a competition I think,  each of them have different platforms and it's purpose. Bitcoin have taking all the advantage over crypto since before and it is to be considered the most coin pick by investors.
So,  there is no need to compare them, cause we know already no other coins could tried to kick out bitcoin from the top.

I am sure that we don't want to be lower than the current price. Last year we were only able to make profit in the beginning of year and in May and in the remaining times we were only busy by watching the price. But I hope crypto will take more roots this year and we will see more attractive price.

Correct. Bitcoin's main purpose is very simple, which is to function as digital gold and a payment network with LN making it faster and cheaper than anything else we know of right now.

Another thing is that they don't compete with each other for hashrate, which is quite important in my opinion. People here turn everything into a battle, which isn't how we should look at the difference coins.

At the end of the day, we aim to have something that provides us censorship resistant money, and I can definitely see there being enough demand for a decentralized utility platform as well.

Actually at this early of the year is hard to give prediction at this moment, but of course i will i assume the bottom of the two coins are reach the most expensive price rebounds in the coinmarketcap.

I don't have to predict both coins but when bitcoin starts to pump its price, most coins will just follow too. And also, no one could actually predict what would be there next price in the future because we will just continue to see what is the present may gave us.

It's not possible to make prediction of the bottom, the market now is very fluctuative and any incident could trigger the price movement to become unpredictable, but some said the price will be lower than it ever reached in 2018, so beware of the market, the investors has make any decisions to come back yet so when it fall down it could slip down further

Anyone can say anything but the truth is not that it is suitable for this discussion to but we are seeing the bottom of the Bitcoin and eth that's a lot of people had so much of tension but this year will not be like that I am surely she is here gonna be a good tfr with kind and ETH.

btc and eth is already at the bottom stage mate.  Because since both decreased drastically the price become stagnant even now . And in my view on this year there's no more downtrend  which is soon both will increase gradually again because market now sometimes showing positive sign.

We will see it after Q1 2019 i think, someone said that BTC will still go down to 2900usd, but i hope its never will, i am afraid when its go down it will be hard to rise.
I think after Q1 all will be clear, the whole 2019 map will reveal.

I dont think so mate .  last year i heard alot of bad news regarding on cryptos which they said that the bottom will continue until 2019 .  i was a bit sad after hearing those words but lets assume that the said predictions can go in reverse manner  .

Yet aside from bad news , i also hear alot of good news regarding on cryptocurrencies again on which they claims that the prices can probably rise because etf/sec and bakkt will all accept bitcoin and cryptos  .  

I believe more on the positive side  .

I can't predict, because it all depends on the market, but I believe there will be a big jump for the price of BTC or ETH

I also saw that. some say that bitcoin will have a low price after hardfork later. but I believe that this will not happen. I'm sure, from now on, prices will start to rise again.

however low prices are in 2019, I don't think that the price will be lower than in 2018 now it's time for bitcoin to continue to grow and leave its lowest price in 2018.

First of all I'm not a fortune teller, as far as I know I'm just one of the traders in this business. Probably, all I can say is that for what is happening now in the eth value is doing and looking good so far. While bitcoin has nothing change so far though its movement in terms of price value is not that quite enough to say that is recovering, of course not, it is still in the process of recovering.

We do not know if ethereum and bitcoin will hit there bottom price in this year but I do not hope that they not falling down again because many people already suffer huge losses including me. I think this year might the rising price of ethereum simply because of its new update that will happen in this month. However, in the end of this year we might see green market and uprising price of cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin and ethereum.

it looks like for 2019, this is what will become the bottom of crypto. So the price can now be said to be very good if you want to enter the market and indeed it is highly recommended, earlier this year there was quite a lot of good news

Yeah no one can make correct and  perfect prediction but they use to talk about it in timely manners. Same as you in my opinion soon bitcoin and ETH will pump up because some expert has predicted the marks to be high very soon. A few of friends in my area were hopeless in 2018 but now they are happy to invest again.

There are a lot of experts in the market, last year they predicted that bitcoin will not fall below $10,000 and will recover, but in the end, it still depends on what you believe and to who you would listen. IMO, this year is gonna be a year where we will see a steady recovery and I believe a new ATH will be born this year.

2018 is the bottom of crypto and 2019 is the ATH of crypto, that's the possibility that I like to see this year, I'm very positive about what's gonna happen onwards.

I just want to be hopeful that we might experience a repeat of what happened in 2017 where we got the yearly bottom early in January of that year. If that happens, then that means now is the worst low Bitcoin can get to. However, Overall, I see 2019 as a good year for Bitcoin going forward.

2019 it will be a year of crypto increase, and maybe we are low for BTC and ETH  :)

It is better to think not about the bottom, but about the highest price of these cryptocurrencies. Let us start the year from something, which is very positive, and not from pessimistic prognoses.

2018 was a great lesson and quite odd. All predictions, speculations and forecast were well tested and only few survived. Simple task am doing this year for crypto generally; just wanna enjoy the ride with no extravagance expectations or unrealistic price surge. Buy now if you want to. The price for both ETH and BTC will definitely surpass this current tag. However, things may still go lower.

In addition to it 2019 is giving us best bitcoin and Ethereum year so be happy mate you are going to obtain the best of your profit this year surely. Alt coins never fell to the bottom it only decreases but getting high and low is all about number of investors which is going to increase this year so it’s not at bottom just keep calm.

I would like to share your own optimism, but we do not really know if the market has yet reached its bottom.

On the contrary, I think it's difficult to predict the market at the moment, even if I remain very bullish on cryptos in the long term.

I haven't seen anyone predicting about the bottom of BTC and ETH. Rather most of they are waiting to see a good pump. By seeing a long long run bear market, everybody lost their believe from all kind of predictions! So do I. I can't predict what will be the bottom line of Bitcoin and Ethereum but i love to wait to see something positive! 

Everyone is on the positive as they'll even struggling for a year with red. As we continue to our journey in crypto,  will just hoping for the end of bearish season and it turns into uprising trend.  Not totally we look for bull run but at least to see it growing up, it could be enlighten to us.

A lot of media sites has been saying there will be a bull run and most of them are focusing on Bitcoin and eth,. These two might be the major thing this year and their prices is likely to go very high. Bitcoin will leave others far behind. This might not be a good year majority of altcoins, cause they might not taste the bull run, their prices might remain a little stable or even fall.

I agree with your opinion. The bottom price of BTC and ETH should be over, it already happened in the last year. I don't state that will be no price reduction anymore in this year but it won't be the bottom rate. I guess the market starting to recover this year, so ETH and BTC prices possibly improve.   

new year and we will new price for bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.investor confidence now in good condition and some of them trying to accumulate their crypto stock.and i am sure it will run continously.

I think the bear market is over in December 2018. And the recovery year is going to be 2019 thus we are expecting to see the massive boom in the market this year. The word called 'bottom' is in the past now.

We will see that bottom this month of January and after that we will not reach that level again because this is year is a pumping year that everyone is waiting for. Don’t ask for another bear market because its not going to happen, I’m very bullish about the trend of cryptomarket this year, hope everyone too.

We all want to see good price this year and I hope the bottom hits already last December, but still there’s a chance to go down again before it finally rise. No one can say, its hard to predict now since the year is just started maybe after this month will try to make my own prediction of the future price.

It is very difficult at this moment to make comments and predictions about Bitcoin's bottom and ETH. So Bitcoin always brings many unexpected and complicated things. I think the market will be stable in the future. We should consider Bitcoin and ETH and invest in it rather than waiting for them.

Predicting about the movements of bitcoin and ethereum is not that difficult when you are watching them for years and you are always keeping update yourself with news and events related to them. Even we are not able to predicting them accurately we can get approximate price levels like where they will be trading time to time. I am always more than 80% successful with my predictions so far with bitcoin and ethereum price movements.

I don't see both ETH and BTC will be testing its bottom again this year. What we had as low in 2018 will be remaining as bottom for next 2 to 3 years. Because, I am expecting both ETH and BTC will be in uptrend in coming months and the we cannot expect any further downfall like what we had in 2018.

Btc and eth will have their lowest price in 2019 too, and I cant agree with you that tracking price changes is easy, no matter do you watch them for years or month, you can update yourself with any kind of news, but still bitcoin price do something new, surprise us with its rise or drop, same is with eth, who expected to see eth at 80 dollars again? But thats happened month ago.
I will mark your words about uptrend this year and that we cant expect further downfall, I would like to see that uptrend and to never see price drop again, but with cryptocurrencies nobody can give any guarantees, we will see about that, I think this rise is just temporary.

I think that in the middle of 2019 the market recovery will begin. The year 2018 for cryptocurrency was heavy after a sharp jump in 2017. If you look at the entire history of Bitcoin, you can see that this is already the fourth market recovery.

LOL. In my opinion, I am going to welcome a new peak of BTC and ETH in 2019. When the cycle of more than 300 days of the BTC is complete, when the Eliot wave completes its cycle it is time for us to see the BTC reaching the price. Only passing the time of 21k and ETH will create a new peak higher than 1k5, will not be bottom in 2019. I believe so  :D

We have not yet reached the bottom  :( 
Under 1k USD is still possible for BTC and also 10USD is still possible for ETH....

That's nonsense. The current cycle, which happens to be called a bear market, is over when the majority of the ICOs and short term minded investors have unloaded their bags, and this process could take years at worst.

The most rewarding way for ICOs to cash out is through Bitcoin, which is the most liquid market in the space. I want to see the ICO reserves shrink a bit further before I feel more comfortable about the end of the bear market.

These ICOs don't care about anything related to technical analysis. They only care about unloading the coins that have been given to them for presenting an idea or not in demand product...

2019 just started. So nothing we can't say. But predictions goes to Bitcoin $10,000 or around. And other hand Ethereum can go $300-$500. But the prediction can missed by following marketcap. We don't know when investor will come or not.

If you're expecting all ICO gains to be erased or all speculators to leave the market, I think you'll be disappointed. ICO teams are largely selling because of the bear market, for the same reason that miners are hedging short on their operations. They aren't the cause of the bear market, which is related to a much larger distribution cycle.

We train ourselves for capitulation events, but capitulation isn't required. Supply will dry up when it dries up. Demand will overtake supply whenever the market says so. The chart will tell us when this happens much more clearly than speculating about ICOs and short term speculators can.

They aren't the cause, but will contribute to having it last way longer. Most of the dumps that we have seen happening are related to ICOs, and the sooner they run out of stock, the sooner we'll find our way up again.

It will happen eventually, but we're not there yet. The bags that ICOs hold are still something to not discard. It requires one significant dump to have them fear and dump as well, because the fear of lower prices is a real threat to their existence.

The charts have been fooling most people. It's always easy to revert back to the good old charts after an event has taken place. Never do I see anyone provide useful information about the market beforehand.

Should be positive all are we who are crypto lover about BTC and ETH because btc is mother coin in crypto currency and Eth is the head of all altcoins. So keep faith on those.

we will find it difficult to predict the exact movement of values below BTC and ETH, which means that it has reached the lowest value or not, but what I see is that the trend continues to move sideways and conditions rise and fall around $ 3900, if you trade it still may create 2-3% profit and no more for the security of your assets

Why is everyone is so fond of getting to know what the bottom is? Isn't this the bottom yet that you guys are finding? Can't you see that the market is breaking a new resistance though it may not be it? But i can clearly see that this is a new start for the bull market and it seems that the bull trap is gone but if you guys want to see the real result. Observe the market for a week then look at the results.

That's the point: you're predicting that further dumps will occur, which will then trigger ICOs to continue liquidating. That's very possible, but the fact that ICOs still have considerable funds is moot. Their relevance totally relies on excessive supply or weak demand in the Bitcoin market sustaining. ICOs and underwater investors both have a strong interest in holding in case the market reverses.

I think it's a lot more legitimate to just say "it's a bear market until proven otherwise" and assess the price trend on a technical basis. Things like "ICOs need to deflate" or "retail speculators need to capitulate" sound convincing on a rhetorical level, but they're impossible to quantify into price.


I don't think you're looking hard enough. If you're focusing on random posts in Speculation or talking heads on CNBC, you're not going to find much value there.

Also, charts aren't so valuable for predictions. Their value lies in informing you when reversals and breakouts are occurring and when trends are continuing or ending. Successful traders are using charts to react to changing conditions, not to predict the future.

Most people misuse TA and screw up a few trades, then spend years calling it a scam. To boot, markets are unpredictable so good traders should only be expect to be correct 50% or 60% of the time. Maximizing profits is therefore more about risk management than being correct.

The bottom will be the early price of BTC and ETH, I mean the started price of the year since we are from a bear market and after that we are about to pump since we already hit the bottom last year. Let’s have more positive thoughts about cryptocurrency and keep buying or holding for the future.

I am afraid there will be no positive news and information about cryptocurrency in near future because of this market situation, the capitulation usually takes a year of time to finish its phase. While right now we are still far away from that, remember what happened with Cryptocurrency in 2015? a long year for consolidation after the extreme bear market.

And judge according to yearly progress.

Each period has a good increase, so that it can make btc value better than a few years ago and this is a journey that requires a lot of process in the future. Crypto lovers are increasing and strong.

We don't know we have to move according to a market situation already we have seen the downfall in the year 2018 and still it is continuing the same prices in this year. We have to consider this year low prices after conclusion of 2019 and it is impossible to predict in the beginning of the year.

I am hoping to see bitcoin at $10000 and ether at $1000 by the last quarter in 2019! These price could still be considered as low or bottom price for these two coin. Bitcoin and Ethereum ate decentralized and popularly used by cryptocurrency community and outside user more than any coin in cryptocurrency, so they should have high value!

The bottom has already been, so this year should show a push up as Bitcoin, and all other coins. And in principle, while everything fits the scenario, and you can hope for profit after long-term losses.

The recovery process is still ongoing, although there is no positive news that refers to the market, many expect the market to remain good. Maybe this condition is still considered a low value, but crypto requires a process and full trust for correction. Bitcoin and eth are indeed famous coins and will continue to fight for more value.

I think 3150 dollar was bottom for bitcoin few weeks ago and I don't think we will see below it in 2019, and 80-85 dollar was bottom for ethereum. I think we passed bottom prices anymore.

i heard few people predict if bitcoin price will touch $2000 before it jump and ethereum will go lower than $70
but, if we look at the market conditions now,, i think its hard to believe about that,
because i believe ethereum will go down below $100 anymore and bitcoin will stay above $3800  ;)

Don't try to guess the bottom before buying anything. When you find bottom, it will be too late to invest))

Yeah it is quite possible that we may hit the bottom for btc in 2019 .The market is in a big correction phase after super huge bull run . But correction is good as long as it leads to adoption

it's still too fast to predict the price of ETH and BTC at the beginning of 2019 ... I can only hope and wait for the crypto increase in February, hopefully the price of ETH and BTC will improve ...

This time, we should forget the lowest price of Bitcoin and ETH, maybe it's been searching for a bull run since in the past year, the prices of BTC and ETH continued to look for the lowest prices. So, this year I hope that many countries and companies adopt bitcoin, because our goal in 2019 is a bull run.

The bottom had already been touched in 2018. There is no way the bottom has never been reached with the very strong plunge that happened in the previous year. The dumps happened one after another. The deficit made in the 12 months of red market reached as high as 70 percent or more. The all time low prices have been recorded in the year 2018. A year of consistent dumps is not usual. Because of that, I am strongly convinced that after such a long winter, a beautiful spring is waiting in the current year. This year, it is not about the bottom prices, it is all about the new all time high records.

We are all guessing and no-one can accurately predict crypto a year ahead... but my feeling is that we'll see a market recovery and that the prices we've seen so far this year will be as low as they go.

We will that and that's the rule in the speculation market. The recovery will come after there will be a big dump. We need a lot of result in the major development progress to make it becomes a true story. I don't even care how long that will come.

Is it possible that ethereum will replace bitcoin? I don't think this would be possible if indeed bitcoin would not be replaced by other altcoins. there will be market noise if bitcoin is truly replaced.

There are so many scenarios in crypto, even fantastic ones, that it’s simply pointless to predict.
The easiest:
Being impressed by the downtrend of 2018, you can easily believe in a new bottom.
If you recall the Q4 2017, you can easily believe in new highs.
What will be will be.

I read an article in the magazine that said that ethereum prices would touch 180 dollars for this week and after I observed the movement it seems they would be stable at the current rate

Lot of people want to pump up again bitcoin in this year. But if you see ethereum get pumping slowly but in bitcoin steady and not rising up. Maybe it it's just finding some days to increase up because of investors and traders they hold for the price.

Are you suggesting that Ethereum and Bitcoin will have different directions of movement this year? Although it is very relevant just such a forecast, because lately Bitcoin has been losing its appeal, unlike ethereum.

The year is extremely young so any kind of prediction will not be based on facts and instead will be based on our beliefs and expectations about bitcoin and ethereum, but if I were to make a prediction then I suppose the lowest price for ethereum could be 100, this is because I am really expecting a correction of the price during the next weeks or months that will allow ethereum to recover some of the lost ground but then a decrease in the price will happen since the market is still weak, so it is possible we will go back to that price.

It seems to me that the price of these coins is the lowest now. I believe that in the near future we are waiting for the growth of these coins. That means a good time to invest now.

It is difficult to be able to determine and predict what will happen, for me the important thing is to look good and invest there and hold for a while until it returns to good again and releases to receive profits.

That's correct, price already bottomed based on what experts said and I also agree with that, that's why It's good to be aggressive in buying now.
Next movement will be going up, notice the price, it's very stable now, it seems like it's just waiting for a signal to pump up.
I believe it is, but we need to make some prediction in order to make some action, that's what investing requires us to do.

We will learn to look at market movements that occur, and this can make us look for new strategies. With this movement we will get conclusions and study in the previous period, it must be done, then see the predictions of those who are experienced and then conclude that a good strategy will be obtained.

Hi everything can be. I think that now who has more of these coins, he decides what happens to them. This is a subjective vision, I could be wrong.

of course everything can happen. eth and btc have a large market, and none of them knows what happened this year. I myself save these two assets, because I believe this asset has greater potential this year. I hope my investment will make a profit.

The bottom of BTC in 2019 will be $ 4,000 and ETH will be $ 100.
I think our market is gradually growing again and no barriers are preventing it. It will soon recover as expected by many investors.

For Bitcoin I see two scenarios , If we see a good bounce back after the next dip to $2600-$2800 I will take it as the bottom. But if that support is broken We going to see $1800 s .But it won't stay long there for sure. For Ethereum who knows may be $50 or even $14 at the worst case.

For the massive growth of the market we need a constant positive news, perhaps such news will appear in Q1 of this year with the launch of Bakkt platform and the arrival of investment and pension funds that will be interested in investing their money. So we probably already touched the bottom or close to it.

Seems people are not hyping that BAKKT launch, price had not rise consistently and it's not good.
We are still in the bear period though we are in the new year but this year is still long since we are in the first month still, and I believe lots of good news will come that would definitely change the status of the market.

I think ETH may drop to $120 soon and Bitcoin may be down to $ 3,300. These two prices are the bottom of ETH and Bitcoin in January 2019. Because when I hope a lot of the result that they are not good.

It means it is good to trade and buy ETH when your prediction come, because actually $120 is quite cheap, even not cheap as when it first launched. But see ETH price in market year by year, i think it is good to buy some

No-one knows, it's all just speculation. Often, viewing the price charts across a long time-frame can help in determining long trends. These show that the bearish sentiment is still with us, and really it does that show that prices might go lower. I think the crucial point for us to reach is somewhere above $200b across the whole market. Only once we're back to there can we start thinking that the bear trend is ending.

I think these predictions are too optimistic. If what happened yesterday is not just a correction, and the continuation of the bear market, shortly we may see that the price of ETH will fall even below $80, and the price of BTC below $2800

This prediction shouldn't be discussed now, there are many factors affecting the market, and would affect the market.

The bottom is happening right now. It is hitting $3600 and is unlikely to go any further, eth is too late as it bottomed at around $80 so if you didn't get any back then, you are late to the party.

Yes, it's too early yet people keep making the discussion so they can shitposting on it :p
Also it's been a discussion for like every year,  so there is nothing weird about it just same stuff that people speculating some shit.

This is the most popular coin. It seems to me that now is a good time to invest in these projects. I believe that they are at the lowest point.

I just wanna see the market survive this year and show some signs of coming back strong again. If eth reqches $200 by this early year I guess we could say that the market can start growing back again.

ETH's bottom $83 and Bitcoin's bottom $3200. I don't want to predict lower prices than that. Good decision. I'm also done and tired of predicting the markets with btc and eth. It's just absurd nowadays and if someone isn't tired of it predicting the markets, I'm sure that he doesn't have a thing to do. But I've got a lot of things to do, I'll just want to see the market on how it will react for this year.

Bitcoin and Ethereum has been so unpredictable last year so it is really hard to know whether it is increasing or decreasing. As for me, we should just look at the brighter possibilities that might happen in crypto world and just continue holding. Things would get better for us in the future so we must just keep on believing that we'll gain a good profit through it in time.

At first i thought that we have seen the btc bottom of 3100$ last year 2018 and this year will be totally different but this is not the case. Recently big dump in bitcoin and altcoins means that bear time is still not over and there are still people who want to sell their bitcoin for such low prices.  ???

Seeing the market is a bit bored, there is no surprising movement and just looks flat. The sea water game is calm and there is no shocking current. Eth and bitcoin are still spinning on that volume and it seems that it will be up to the next few days.

I think the bear market isn't over yet, there will still be another storm.
just because the turn of the year doesn't mean this is over maybe a few more years will happen.

There is no bottom at all! Can you imagine that bottom point is 0?
If you have another mind,then you have never hold shit coins. Yeah, btc and eth are much better

Last year was really terrible for the cryptocurrency market and ETH/BTC put up their worst performance ever. I strongly believe that things will turn around for the better this year. Before the end of 2019 we will see a surge in the industry.

I hope that these prices now is the bottom for 2019, I'm feel bad when the market go dump again, if bitcoin price down slightly like $3,300 maybe it will continue to go down because many people will panic again.

keep discussing about the lowest prices of bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
I am actually not interested in this. because the more we often discuss this I fear if investors become frightened by this discussion and this will worsen the situation.

I will prefer to speculate a higher price of both bitcoin and Ethereum for this year since we have already a year of bloodbath from last year 2018. All of us wants to see the cryptomarket to make a bullish trend and we must stay optimistic that we can achieve it this year.

The lowest point of the market cannot be predicted at all because of course we understand that in the cryptocurrency market decline is very possible and that can happen anytime

Following some good analysts/traders, some say that the bottom is in while some others are looking at a final lower bottom in coming months. Only time will tell.

Bear markets are still running and moving, all want movements that can increase the value of coins. ETH and BTC are still famous coins so they will still have value and many will influence the BTC movement. We are waiting for a good time to come.

Well I believe that the bottom for the two top coins had already reached and what we are waiting now is the growth,the market had been in this bad shape for more than a year now and from this the bottoming i believe was done

Just give it another couple of months or a year then the full bloom will be indeed,hold on and keep the faith guys

The bottom was at the level of 3200 and I think we will touch it many more times and even try to break through the mb but not for long, so we look and admire)

Maybe bad things will come, ETH = $ 50 and BTC = $ 1000 ... anything. But I think in 2019 the market will recover.

Maybe this two coin eth/btc can pump up again because the price get slowly growing up for sure at the bottom of this year they will have a future so start up again to increase.

It is possible that BTC and ETH could see a huge rise, but this depends on certain factors like demand and supply. 

There are many price levels that could be a real bottom.
Tone Vays said that possible bottoms could be 3200USD, 2000USD or 1000USD.

I also read this assumption, but nevertheless one cannot take it as a basis, since the growth of ethereum and Bitcoin was to take place in mid-January, a comma, but so far we do not see $ 250 for ethereum, but stopped below $ 150.

Yes, there are quite different forecasts for 2019. I met the opinion that perhaps this year bitcoin will break the record for its value and bull run happen also in 2019. But I think it's unlikely. Perhaps the long-awaited growth of the market will still be, but how it will be rapid, we do not know. It is better not to wait for the right moment, and invest now, and what happens next  will show us time.

Whoa, it will make many people sad because they invest in the bitcoin and ethereum. But if that is what happens next, then we need to prepare, but I don't expect to see that price, and as you said, we have an opportunity to see the market recover in this year. So let's hope the worst will not come and only the good things will come.

Thinking of investing inside the market needs a lots of patience and courage, knowing those important factors that will lead the value to rise high is essential to avoid panicking when seeing some downfall, there's a lots of rumors and speculations both for uptrend and downtrend momentum perhaps we need to weight and assess deeper to avoid big mistakes and losses our investment.

Lots of capitulation. When all you hear is bad news like that, there will always be a lot of people that will give up and get manipulated that btc or other any altcoins will just continue to go down. And consider that the ETFs is always get rejected so the hope that we need is getting lost as every day goes by.

Lol. Sad is an understatement. Anxious and panicky would be more like it 😁. Though a 1k btc would have great effect over the entire market. Hopefully it doesn't go below 3k for this year's bottom but you're right, we don't have any control over it so we just have to prepare.

I think the price of ETH and BTC in 2019 will increase at the end of the year. Whereas for the beginning of the year BTC and ETH were getting drops. ETH after hardfork will decline to a price of $ 80 or $ 90. Because all ethereum holders will sell simultaneously.

I hope this both coins would soar by this year, because this year 2019, its been really really low when it comes to market price., the lowest of all times, compared to last year price.

well, we can't avoid the decline that might happen anytime after hardfork. maybe many think that after hardfork, the potential for decline can be even greater. well, but I am still optimistic about the recovery that happened this year. I still think that in a few months, there will be development that will make crypto prices recover.

At now I don't predict price because I think it will not gonna pump again like what happen in 2018 theres no chance that altcoins get to rise up specially to bitcoin.

the price can rise drastically before , during , and after the hardfork events  . can you remeber what happened on 2017 ?  btc did a fork on bch but the price didnt dump instead it result for both coins to reach their new ath's  .  i think the same thing could also happen on eth and btc this year .  btc might not be undergoing into a new fork but it said that sec's etf will have a decision to be made soon  .

bitcoin bottom is 3000 dollar
and ethereum bottom is 75 dollar
in my opinion in 2019.
and 2020 iam waiting a big jump.

Falling currencies to a critical point I think that everything is possible, for example, BTC in the region of 3 thousand dollars, 50 dollars ETH. But in general, I think, 2019 will be the year of recovery of average quotes for 2018.

Its completely opposite because most of the people are expecting for a green market these year. Since you are a newbie, its normal that you didnt know that the dip has already started from last year and we hope to end now. Crypto people are kinda optimistic for 2019 regarding this matter and we believe that these will really happen.

   Green market is always great for us. I hope that we are on bottom now, or at least close to it. It`s logic, from bottom
only way is up. When we will start that way to up is a question.
   We are all optimistic because we have crypto-currencies. How to not be positive and optimistic? We spend time and
we invest in crypto-currencies, we need to stay optimistic no matter what!

it is seen as eth and btc will go down to their dip in 2019.
it can be an oppurtinity for buying.
in 2020 we can see good days.

I think BTC is the one to watch. BTC pulls the whole market with it, and I think when BTC starts to rise then alts will follow shortly afterwards. So ETH bottom price I think is not just dependent on ETH - it will probably keep falling until BTC starts to rise.
Constantinople upgrade for ETH is a complication that could well affect this though. Obviously it has been postponed again, but if the upgrade kicks in before BTC stops falling, then it may help ETH to resist further drops.

For now BUY BTC and ETH then HOLD it until it will rise again!

No can do if the dip will continue for this year. But it's a fact that this time is still an opportunity to keep on buying, those who have missed it still has a chance to do.

We will because of bitcoin halving.

All we can know for sure is that long consolidations have appeared. One was in the fall, now the other is after the november-december drop. This gives hope that the downtrend has been exhausted. Therefore, if the low is updated, it will not be much lower than the current bottom.

It's hard to say for the ETH, but the hope that below $ 100 will not fall, and Bitcoin, as always, or 3k, its limit on the fall, and in the worst case, even 2k.

I think the bottom has already been covered and now there is a positive trend for cryptocurrency. I hope growth will be soon

It is very difficult to say which year will be better for the cryptocurrency, but I can say for sure that if you look at the price chart in recent years, we can say that only next year there will be a significant increase in prices, but this year I think that the cryptocurrency has already touched the bottom. Perhaps due to the fact that the market is becoming more popular despite the fall in prices, the growth will be this year !

I honestly think we either bottomed in mid December at ~$3200 or it is going to be $3000 at worst. The volume in this $3200-$4000 range has been substantially higher than when we were holding between $6000-$6800 from September and November. This bounce from the red wick this morning looks to me like there is a lot of people with their hand on the trigger antsy to get back in.

I think it's likely that we'd even get to touch that 3k level than making a move upwards. Can't see where the bounce will be with such lazy movements. Same with eth though i think we've already seen the end of the sub 100usd levels.

Paradoxically, but I think that those who expect that this year Bitcoin may reach its bottom may be right. I think that the probability of such events is about 30%, so you should not relax too much. It is likely that those who want to buy Bitcoin at a price of $ 1800 - will be able to do it this year.

I can not make any predictions, i just have a hope that this year bears will find bottom and give way to the bulls.

I don't call this prices as bottom because there is no clear signs for marking it as bottom on chart. Future is unpredictable in crypto markets but experienced traders can take nice profits with analyzing the past events on price graphic.

2018 turned out to be very unpleasant for cryptocurrency. But I want to believe that the prices of these coins will not go even lower in 2019.

Many predict that this year there will be no significant increase and the market tends to be flat, this is supported by rumors of unclear ETFs.
we wait for 2020, maybe the right year to fly.

Last year many predict that a bull run will happen but it did not, so that means sometimes majority of people could be wrong and this year if they think there is no bull run, maybe they will be wrong again, which I'm hoping.


That's true, let's call it a bad year but I'm still thankful that we were able to survive that year as we are still here now.
Big correction happened last year which bring down the value so hard, now, I think it's over, time for the recovery this year.

I hope so.

---

This year was the year of uprising for the crypto's again. Hope I wish that I don't want to see lower prices while some crypto investors wishes to see that this market would even go lower. I just don't want to see that happen again.

We can do nothing if that would be trend will shown up for this year cause even don't known what it looks like in the coming days. 
I don't want speculate and think more for this year but to ask that it will rise a little bit more higher than of its price today. Even reaching into $8k before the year end,  it really satisfied for me.

As always, there are always both bullish and bearish views about the market. Currently, market is in a neutral sideways state so could go either way though the chances for going up are higher than down.

The bottom was already reached that year, now there is a little stability and balance before the next jump up.

I don't want to speculate and think more for this year, but asking for it will go up a little higher than today's price. Even reaching $ 8k before the end of the year, it was really satisfying for me.

What should happen to the market to improve the situation and the position of Bitcoin almost increased 3 times? It seems to me that only the actual use of Bitcoin as a means of payment will increase its capitalization, and with it the price of Bitcoin.

I think ETH price is dependent on BTC price. For me it's BTC that largely determines the market. With that in mind, the thing to watch is probably the psychologically important price points for BTC. So downwards, $3,000 I would say is quite important and we might see solid support around there if we drop that far. Upwards, $5000 could be a big one.

Bitcoin in 2019 may fall to the level of$2500-3000. The price for ETH depends only on BTC, it does not determine the price on its own. Perhaps in the future this change, but not in any time soon. But there is optimism...in 2019, the market will begin to grow gradually, and we will see the parabolic growth of the market in 2020-21.

No one know the bottom of cryptocurrency, its time to take action right now. A lot think will be happen on 2019, we can start the rally at this years and it could be get a new ATH whent next halving Bitcoin was happen.

I hope that these coins will not continue to fall. I want to believe that the cryptocurrency market will go up in the near future.

Yes we can't do anything if the market continues to go low on trend.

---

But it's good to become optimistic because the market keeps on shaking and there's no other way for us to recover but to see good gains for this year.

I think that all users of cryptocurrency understand what will happen when Bitcoin falls again in two. This will in any case affect the entire cryptocurrency market. Do you really think that someone wants to invest in cryptocurrency, if it so mercilessly bankrupts many users.

I predict the future development of the crypto currency, I think it is very difficult, we cannot know for sure that all that matters is probably the confidence and patience of the investors themselves.

It seems to me that this year will continue to go sideways, if you know what I mean. But in the next year everyone should enjoy the growth.

I think bottom was surpassed, but who knows! Hope I am right and next step is going to be a pump of whole crypto market. At the moment we are at consolidation step, are you agree?

You are just one of the many who said that, but last year I saw a lot of people saying this year we will be sideways and next year we will start the bull.
I don't know who to believe but I know your guys are just saying base on your opinion, so in this matter since I'm in charge of my future, I should trust my guts.

I don't think whales would allow ETH to drop below $50.
BTC - who knows, even $1000 is not out of the question.
But I'll start buying much higher than that if the market continues dropping.

Complete speculation, but I think $3000 for BTC might be a solid support level that we can build from. As for ETH, I think it's just dependent on where it is when BTC hits $3000. Probably between $50 and $100 I would guess. I do think we'll have a new bull run, but only up to about $400 billion whole market as a maximum.

Now, if receive big support from the community as well as from the government, it gonna have chances to move forward.  I've never think we fall more below $3.5k, we are currently lock up by $3.5k since from the start of this year.
It actually ETH ask help for Btc and everything on the status of the market will just be depending of what happen to BTC.  We all still in a wild guess.

you are right, this market condition will depend on the state of bitcoin. if bitcoin is able to move up, I think stability can begin to form. now bitcoin is still very weak on the market, and ethereum I think will wait until bitcoin moves up.

There have been many who speculated about ethereum and bitcoin at the beginning of 2019, but I did not see anything right but many missed, because it was difficult to predict. I predict Bitcoin and make sure it won't drop again to below $ 3K and Ethereum is under $ 100, because the period has passed. there will be a period to rise again in March, even be able to match when the end of 2018. but many hope there will be a better increase than at the end of 2018 ago, it is only a matter of time.

well for predictions there will be an increase in March. I also predict that, but I'm sure BTC and ETH will still fall far from current prices for a few months.we'll see what will happen

Hopefully that’s already a real bottom so we can now move on and go upward.
The price looks more stable now and its good to hold on this level before we see the great pump. I hope for a more good market and a less dump so the bull have the chance now to come in the market.

it looks bad if it's true there will be a decline back to BTC and ETH. I hope instead, the market will improve soon, no need to wait until the middle of the year for a bull to occur. maybe it will happen this year, or there won't even be bulls this year. we all can only hope for the best, but don't forget to prepare for the worst possible too.

yeah buddy, many of my friends thought last year was the lowest price of all crypto asset prices, and this year I didn't expect much of the cryptocurrency price to recover quickly, I think getting a green candle every month is enough

you guys werent alone as i also thought that  . i thought last year was the lowest and this year was the recovery but i was wrong . infact 2019 ( this year ) was much morst than the previous year but this is not the end of the crypto world  .  sooner or later their value can still recover and grow as long as the etf , bakkt and other agreements  were finally approved  .


no man , the price didnt recover quickly but instead the price did drop more pretty quick .


its enough if the green percent were huge and can last a bit longer  so that anyone can enjoy it  .

As long as we could make a profit in these situations, I think it will be fair enough for us to still trying. The green candle will appear in every day, but of course, we will see the red candle changing in many times. But we don't have to be afraid from the red candle because it will not stay forever and the green candle will come again. I don't have any prediction on where is the bottom on the market for those coins because I only believe that when the time comes, everything will come back to normal and we could make a profit again.

Price prediction about Bitcoin is very hard. Because day by day Bitcoin and Ethereum price getting down and down. Some altcoin pumping something something but not huge. A lot number crypto lover already gone from market. For that reason, we should not predict anymore.

I really believe that the cryptocurrency market is currently at the lowest point. This means that after a while growth should begin.

The declining trends are very noticeable to us but it will never give a reason to leave from here. I only left crypto space once btc value become zero but I've never that it will happen easily.
I'm looking forward to see cryptos growing up this year and I give faith for these.  Not totally I want to have a huge pump but a little bit increase could be enough.

No one can't tell what will be the bottom of this two because we just starting the year of 2019 and many things are will be happen. So let's observe the market if there big changes before 2019 ends.

I think the crypto market has to fall lower again to be able to resume its growth and I don't think the current price is the lowest.

but we don't know what will happen in the future during 2019, which is clear we hope that the market can start growth so investors believe that the market can recover.

I may assume we did not see the bottom yet, but it could be, as we did though, hard to predict. Even what will happen when btc from MT Gox will be released, if it will, the market may just crash heavily in hours.
ETH, if no hardfork will be released in February, then it will be hard to believe their team for sure.

$3000 still looks like a key support level for Bitcoin. We're all just guessing, but I suspect BTC will fall to around $3000 and then bounce back strongly, which should hopefully lead to the start of a recovery and a new bull run. ETH I don't think is that relevant, it should just fall slightly along with everything else until BTC hits $3000.

yes, I keep thinking that there will be major changes that occur this year. well, maybe the starting point for developing bitcoin prices is $ 4000. however, I'm sure there will be a big change in prices this year.

I hope that hope will happen. this year is still long, there are still many possibilities that can occur. market growth is certainly what many people now want, but until now we have not seen a sign on the market for future growth. maybe we should wait longer.

If in February, ETH continues the delay hard fork, I think its price will fall to 50 $ or even much lower. They are losing faith from the community and this is the last chance for them

Totally agree with you. It's just useless to predict something that is being suddenly pumped by those chinese propably farmers at 3.500, staying there for a few days and then getting dumbed down again to buy or whatever. Totally agree we should not even try to predict anymore.

in any case, until recently, almost 70% of all Bitcoin transactions in the network were performed by miners from China. That is, it was under Chinese control that most of the hash rate was in. On the one hand, this negatively affects the popularity of Bitcoin, at the same time, the government of the Chinese Republic simplifies its views on working with cryptocurrency.

sell the news buy the rumour . i expect btc bottom is in.
Ppl predicting 2600 as bottom , maybe in their dreamS.
We just pumped 400 dollars
