Bitcoin Forum

There is a rumour about hard  fork of ETH and the volume in the trading of ETH is aggressively growing .Prices are showing strength .Is it an  opportunity to buy on rumour and sell on the news to book profit.

This is all because of incoming hardfork of ETH which I believe again will cause another dump on the market. So for me better to trade your ETH while it is still high or probably wait a day before the scheduled fork.

that's what happened, and ETH this time is an example that someone buys when the price is cheap and will sell it when good news comes
Hardfork from ETH this time is the right moment to sell ETH, whether it's against USD or BTC, because in recent days ETH has strengthened
ETH touched 80 USD in the past 3 weeks, and now it reaches 150+ USD, which means you get almost 2x if you buy at 80 USD

If you are thinking that ETH will have a bullrun in the coming days just because of the hardfork, no, not at all it's gonna happen. It's a hardfork which means an upgrade on the blockchain of its own chain. It's not about a new coin for which people will buy ETH more and more. Although there is a strong possibility of having a hype because with the new upgrade, it will be a PoS coin which means investor will invest into it for staking purpose and get reward. Anyway, I'm not a huge positive about ETH.

I'm just keep on holding because there will be a great profit since there are so many news against it which will make crypto soaring.

Actually it is not ruomour but fact. This hardfor shoult to be done in November, but because of some problems the postponed it to January. Hardfork will be done with block numer 7080000 , so probably in around a week.

I feel right about that, because ETH is moving to go up, I see it in several large markets if now ETH prices start to increase well, just not so sharp, hopefully the price increase can continue.

I think that the time when it will be necessary to sell will come very soon. because, as a rule, 5-6 days before the hard fork the price begins to fall

If you believe on the rumor and it really happens as what you've expected, then that's alright. Just be careful, diligent and alert every time a bad news comes out or when the fork has fully done, the price will surely go down, may it be a little less or a very big dump.

Exactly this is called in short "play with the market with ongoing trends" but with proper planning of when to exit on the right time. Whenever there is any trends about project goes on like listing on big exchange, node integration, testnet, mainnet, big partnership announcement and hardfork etc the price of coin/token pumps naturally. Try to take advantage of this events and exit before 1 week to take maximum profit and don't be greedy take happily whatever profit you make as there are chances before events 2 to 3 days price goes down to minimise the risk. This Constantinople hardfork of ethereum will obviously pump the price and hopefully they will smoothly fulfill their purpose of hardfork in future..

what kind of rumors?  there are official statements and the exact number of the block on which the hard fork will occur. the rumors were  in November

If you are buying ethereum now just because of some kind hard fork coming,you might wake up after the hard fork and discovered that there is a dump because hard fork may swing anywhere.

I think oppositely with what you say. Its risky relying on the rumour of people buying. Its just like you are into fudd. Don’t rely on other people on what you are buying.You should do your own research also.

neither of these two are "rumors" they are facts.
- Fact: Ethereum has a hard fork upcoming
- Fact: hard forks are super risky and will split the chain into two in 90% of the cases
- Fact: forks are usually hyped up and can lead to pump
- Fact: the volume has been picking up but it can be be cause of the recovery  + the mini pump

a rumor would be something like hearing about ETH being listed on some big exchange that didn't have it before and buying it before there is any official announcement.

It's not a rumor. It's real sudshkumar. Try checking Vitalik Buterin's Tweet. However, we can't really assure if there is going to be a bull run after the hardforking so better HODL your ERC tokens and ETH.

Yeah you are totally right, I just bought some Ether yesterday, I wish I am not too late and turns out doing FOMO. I plan on selling them 2 or 3 days before the actual hardfork happen which is on January 19th if I am not mistaken. So, you better buy it now before you are too late.

The upcoming fork of Ethereum called Constantinople is increasing the demand for Ethereum, price rise because of everyone buying now, however, the valuation of the cryptocurrency market still remains at $130 billion and it is far from recovering to previous highs and as such, it is still too early to conclude that buy on rumour (ETH) is a right decision, it's still have a chance ETH price will suddenly drop after the hard fork happen.

it is easy only in theory but not in reality.

in reality you have no way of knowing what is the best time to buy based on some bullshit rumor online since the internet is filled with them every day.

so i'd say the best strategy is to only look at what matters the most: the charts.
when you look at them you can see everything there is to know about the altcoins. for example the volume that is going into a shitcoin before it is pumped. and you can use that kind of "pumping signal" to buy in and enjoy the short lived pump and then look for the exit signs and dump right away to get your profit out successfully.

Such a message will make me think that Ethereum will soon depreciate. It seems that Bitcoin will be like this soon. Bitcoin does not break through the price support, so I am not optimistic about the 2019 cryptocurrency market.

Yes, it is noticeable that the price rises slightly. I think this will continue and ETH will gradually grow in value every day.

It is not new that when there is an upcoming hard fork of any well known cryptocurrency or coin that is ranked at the top, people are immediately buying it because holders of the coin will receive an amount of hard fork coins after the hard fork depending on how many you are holding and the ratio that will be given per coin, so yes it is an opportunity to make free money from forks while the price is also rising due to many people wants to claim free hard fork coins but only if there are exchanges that will list it on their platforms.

Buy on rumor and sell on news, this is exactly what you have to do if you are a short term trader.
This strategy has been working well because when there is a rumor, people will come buying and whales can help to push the price higher so it will result to a pump, just like last year, the market is very bullish because of the funds that are coming but always remember there is a collection.

So, best strategy is knowing to come in and get out, as what goes up must come down.

take your experience to assess something that hasn't happened.
for example what has happened to BCH when hardfork, if you can learn from the experience of doing what you believe will produce results.

whether the rumors are true will be difficult for sure. But if not try certainly will not know for sure the end result will happen. but the news of hardfork is no longer nonsense and is certainly expected to be an advantage going in these conditions. It would be better to try the ethereum than just silence it because if it happens then at least there will be an increase in the results obtained.

This has been an excellent event for the year 2018 in crypto currency
It is hard to comprehend which rumors to buy

So be smart

It was better if you have bought when it was around $80 and you have heard the news that there will be an upcoming fork for Ethereum. And buying is the right thing to do right now, you'll get it as the volume grows higher and you can get the chance to get a little profit if you are for the short term. But as you move on, go with long term these forks would certainly effect Ethereum in the process and can impact its price positively if you keep on holding it.

So, I think it would smart to choose good crypto by tumors of other members, if you don't know what should to choose. And of course watch news about cryptocurrency to sell your coins.

This is one hard work to do
Because you need to do a personal deep research and be sure the rumors are genuine

So that your decision will be the correct and best one

Of course that is always a good choice, try to invest in ETH and sell it before the hard fork takes place. I applied it and bought ETH at a fairly cheap price and I still haven't sold it yet

yes, ethereum prices on the market have started to improve maybe this is a good sign for the rise in the value of this coin. besides that I see that the development of this coin can be said to be good because ethereum has great potential and has a smart contract with various ico projects, most likely hardfork later can have a big impact on the value of this ethereum coin.

yes, when we hear the news that there will be a hard fork that will make the ethereum price rise at a higher price, buying is a very good decision, and when there will be a true price increase on Ethereum of course we will benefit and don't waste the opportunity this is to immediately buy it, before the Ethereum price will rise at a higher price.

This is one of the best strategies on this market and I have no doubts that it is also working even if the market is falling down. Do not forget to split your deposit and not to invest everything in one coin and you would get great rewards.

I see this as an opportunity to make a profit early in the year. I don't care if it's a rumor or whatever, as long as I can get profit why not try it. I will buy now and sell it when the price has risen. don't care about the news that will circulate at that time. the most important thing is that I get profit ...

It's a bit late for that I think, it's been news for a while now, the rumour phase was a long time ago. Remember that a hard fork doesn't necessarily mean a new currency as well - if everyone goes with the forked chain then that's the only one that matters.

It is all rumors, they are just speculating what would be the possible things to happen with the price after hardfork but in the end no one knows what will be the next good thing that may happen, let us just wait on what will be the price after that news

It's correct . Good news creates a mass effect and the price of coin rises with a large volume of buying and selling. But leave it before the event is about to begin. Because it will be dumped . 

Hardforks are always a good reason to buy something, because people are thinking about this event like about something very serious and promising... so it really becomes such a good thing for those who manage to ride this pump wave and earn, without having any foolish beliefs.

Hopefully this rumour will be happening for sure as the value of ETH is changing in daily basis is really good to see and still we do have lot of chance to buy ETH even now the value is very low. we can make good profit if we start buying now however future of ETH will be over the moon and this will happen one day.

This is not a rumor, Ethereum Hardfork is really happening on January 16, I don't want to say that you are late and you missed the train because I think the train this time will go far, that is my beliefs and not a recommendation to buy, you should make your own decisions but based on that this is real news and not rumors.

Also it should be worth considering if the new coin which will be distributed as a result of ETH hard fork is worth or not. Eth price has increased a lot in last 10 days and I do not think so it will retain this price near or after the hardfork. The current high price is surely based on bulk buying of ETH Fomo.

This is not exactly a rumor. This is news. And the price rises due to this. It is not known to what level the price of Ethereum will grow. It is possible that this is only the beginning of growth on this coin. I doubt that the price will fall much after the fork.

If it is fair, then using fundamental analysis it is almost impossible to make money on the cryptocurrency market, since the market as a whole has already adapted to this and already doesn’t react much, so it’s better to try making money using technical analysis.

yeah Ethereum trade volume has increase until the Hardfork finished, after okex and binance says support the ethereum hardfork volume for Ethereum has growing, and we have chance and take action for this event

Now when we look at the market, what actually happens is a not so big increase. and it is true that it is possible after the fork can later fall in price

So far, it is unclear what will happen to Ethereum next, as there are just assumptions about the growth of its price or Vice versa decline. I am more inclined to believe that there will likely be a decline, as most likely after the Ethereum fork itself, many will sell.

The market falls over the course of the year. I think this rule has lost its relevance. News does not have a strong influence on crypto.

Why do you think that after the hard fork will be another dump of the market? Write, please, your arguments.

I think that you need to buy then when everything is sold and sold then when everything is bought because only this way you can earn good money

Look at the trading volume of ETH a few weeks ago and you will see that the volume was more than the volume of BTC trading. A few weeks ago, it was clear that someone is very actively buying ETH and this was a buy signal.

True. But do not rely heavily on such news. Not forget that some of them say specially. In any case, you should leave a little money in case the Ethereum drops even lower. After all, this may well happen.

But you should always check the information. You can not buy something based on some unsubstantiated rumors. You have to do your own analysis and decide when to buy and when not.

The price of ETH is increasing because of the upcoming development upgrade. On January 16 there will be a
shorting opportunity as the price will boom until that and probably there will be a correction.

Well, the news about the fork Ethereum went a very long time and price has been growing for a month , I think if you buy now we just need carefully , after the fork I think the price will fall again

I don't think it is a rumor. What you said above is the facts, and we can easily check the price on CMC. Ethereum becomes one of the top 10 coins experiencing constant rising so far. For me, I won't do both buying or selling this time. I will continue keeping my Ethereum yet I see a chance for the higher increase in the near future.   

ethereum hardfork already created new demands on ethereum, and this will make the price of ethereum growing
i believe now the price of ethereum still cheap, because with or without this hard fork, when the bull coming i'm sure eth price will surpass the ATH price my friend, because ethereum is the best altcoins  ;)

That is just the secret of trading and investment. Which is why those who do not understand make a lot of mistake and the lose money. Then the problem that some people have is the inability to get the right information. Now, this is an information that is widespread and that a lot of people can use.

First of all, this is a rumour, this is a fact. Ethereum hard fork will be launched on January 16 this year. And with the anticipation, ETH surges really good.

I have done this before in 2018
Netkoin advertises a buyback program supposed to buy at 100 gwei eth pair
I did few researches and placed my sell order on 95 gwei

The buyback began and it never went past 98 gwei on etherum pairs
I Jubilated

the news will greatly affect people's interest in a coin so if there is bad news about coins, then people's interest will decrease even people tend to sell, then the price will go down so that when there is good news about coins and many people believe that then prices will definitely rise there will be many people will buy it and that also applies to ethereum who is having good news

for myself this year I bought some Ethereum because I saw there was a pretty good movement in the market and especially in Ethereum it was increasing.

Good job it might bring in plus position now .Do you agree that we should sell on news i.e. on 16th Jan or wait further because it will provide us more profit after hardfork . 

This situation usually happens when any coins have mainnet or hard-fork. There will be a strongly pumping before event and when the event happens, there will be a strongly dumping

This process happens regularly in 2018 and many people have great confidence in the news but behind is a trap that people will surely take a lot of money in the future. I believe that if the coin shows signs of big news, the best advice would be to sell as soon as there is a big profit

I only based it from previous forks of different coin just like recently with BCH. Possibilities right? But basically one thing is for sure and that BTC will still dictate whether will go up or fall AGAIN.

ETH prices are still affordable, buy according to your ability. Smart decisions do buy when prices are low if prices can rise so you will get a lot of money. I believe ETH will be able to compete in the market because ETH is equipped with good features. You also have to be patient in holding coins because market conditions can change without your realizing it.

What usually happens is true. When there is a Hard Fork, of course the price of the coin will go up. And what is happening now is HF for ethereum. Indeed ethereum this is one of the highly reported altcoins that will increase anything plus ethereum who wants to do Hardfork. It's best to buy now according to my advice.

It will work if traders react with the rumor and news, but if they remain to silence and not making any movement, then we cannot take any benefits. But so far, the traders especially new trader will react if some news came out and they will do something related that news. And if they think that something worst will happen, they will sell the coin and wait for a while, and if there is nothing happen, they will buy again just in case if the price can increase later after a few hours.

Yes Crypto markets in fact are very prone to these "Buy the rumor... sell the news".

Take the 2017 Rejection of the Gemini ETF by the SEC. People were basically 110% sure it was going to be approved, they did analysis of which personnel visited the SEC offices in the notes. And basically one "genius" on Reddit said that "Why would they meet with these people if they were going to reject it... its 100% approved". And it basically started a rally where it broke the previous ATH for a little bit and it turned out to be a rejection and price crashed a little. Only to recover a few days after.

Same with the Bitcoin Futures launch. Basically it peaked at $20K on the day of the launch and completely reversed from there. When it was announced back in Oct-Nov it created a huge rally which went from $5K to $20K.

Same with the BCH fork which created BAB and BSV, price rallied all the way to $650 per BCH and only after the fork caused a huge crypto crash of all the markets.

The upcoming ethereum fork is just a soft fork not chain split fork ,this fork is just an upgrade for ethereum to change the POW algo and that doesn't mean it will make ethereum lose value ,I trust the dev  he won't make a stupid move on a good coin like ethereum ,any other upcoming fork are scams ,stay away from them

Yes, you can trade, but if you can separate the right news from false news and rumors without this skill, you can fall into the trap and go bankrupt.

The phrase buying in rumour and selling on news is one of the golden rules of Cryptocurrency .
So I do think buying etheruem now that the rumour of etheruem fork is ride and selling when the rumour is finally confirmed to news.

It is possible that it is a trap, and may also be a fact that very few people believe it will grind, there are always two good and bad directions. As far as I can see, this is reliable news, take advantage of it to enrich yourself  ;D

This old stock market rule also works for the crypto market. As a rule, you need to have time to sell before the event, which is mentioned in the news. In this case, to hard fork. Perhaps the time to exit the positions is very close ;).

You could think of it as a rumor, a fraudulent news to us to use it for dumping, but I'm different, I believe this is a good information to take advantage of rather than buying and selling. buy and sell, you will still have money for holding that information. You know what I mean?  ;D

It is true that ethereum is increasing in prices in the past few days with its hard fork in place, and I think it is good news for investors, the project team and crypto enthusiasts. Ethereum is really good coin with a strong and good team and technology. But it had been suffering the free fall of its prices in the recent past as the market is or was in pain. From now on ethereum holders and bounty hunters may reap benefit from the hard fork of ethereum.

The ethereum hard fork due on January 16 is not just a rumour. It is a scheduled to happen on that scheduled date. And that would increase the price ethereum.  A lot of investors are expecting that to happen that is why ethereum is a good buy these days.

I think even the news may not be true, it’s worth checking out and then taking steps to purchase. Recently, Ethereum is cool, with excellent and powerful technologies, you can benefit from it.

Its not a rumour about hard fork. Yes ethereum is growing gradually but I won't say eth is rising aggressively and volume is also growing in ethereum. As I always believe in ethereum potential and due to the upcoming hard fork people are buying ethereum. I hardly see nowadays crypto news affect the market. I believe after ethereum constantinople hard fork market will not drop too much as many crypto enthusiast predicting. I believe little drop will be there and after that ethereum will rise again. After Eth Constantinople hard fork it is expected the Eth network will more faster and less costly to operate.

Upcoming hardfork are successfully makes people buy more Eth and the current price showing Eth had increase the price even though not high but at least the price are getting better but indeed i was worried after hardfork successfully that probably people willbstarting to sold their Eth because they are already get the coins from hardfork results

I recently heard about 3 upcoming forks that will going to happen on Ethereum, and I see, constantinople is great but the other two are dubious. But still, buying will give us profit anyways? Let's enjoy the forks.

maybe you should make sure that the rumor is true, because when that happens you better keep holding assets for a while. and I think the news about Hardfork ethereum is not just an issue, but it has become a fact that they will do it.

That will most likely to happen because it happened on some hardforks in the past. I hope it won't go down that far after ETH is being upgraded and improved, there will be more reasons to hold ETH.

That's it. No matter what they say about forks, about how useless they are (two out of three), one thing is for sure they have a very positive effect on the current market.

This is speculative investment which people will follow on those coins with hype and its normal that when there is a coming of hard fork or upgrade on the system this will create a positive effect on the market as people will buy those coins. I don't think that this ETH can skyrocket with this news but it's better to ride with it and hope for the best price to come. Many investors had still trust on ETH and this will boost more demand if the price will rise before the launching of fork.

looks classy but i think its effective to use of that strategy this time. it is safe to investors and making profit in a wisely moves. eth will continue grow maybe it time to buy more.

This is a good example to buy on rumor and sell on the fact. We could see a positive reaction to ETH price after the announcement
of the development upgrades. I think the ETH price recovery will continue after the upgrades take place.

But some of rumour is also fact if they know it come from in the news but lot of people also want to know the truth which is it come from in the news.

I also watch how Ethereum quickly grew from the price of 90 dollars. It seems to me that its growth will continue as soon as the events voiced by you occur. Let's wait and follow the events.

But I'm a bit doubtful about the growth's consistency especially after the forthcoming event. There should be another good news in order not to let ETH's price dump.

The strategy's nice but there're some nuances - how to see the exit point and the entry point? Your scheme's clear for many people, but these points are vague. So the strategy must be detailed or individual

become wise about rumors and news,i think if you have a lot of capital you can buy some eth for long terms investment. So Don't believe 100%  rumors and news

Yeah, but you do not know rumors or you know? I though that these information knows only whales that are manipulating with market before news comes to us.

I think that the growth of the capitalization of the coin is associated with the upcoming hard fork, with the launch of which the coin should show itself well!

You can agree that it is very profitable at the moment to invest in ETH. At the moment it is the best coin which shows positive dynamics and fast rise of the price.

Buying on the rumors is a very risky business, and everyone understands that, of course, this is the only way we can earn money. But just because there is a chance that you just lose all your money and it will be very sad.

Usually the hype increases when there’s a rumour about any coin, and I think its really a good entry in the market and sell if there’s already a final news about it. There’s still risk on this because you might miss the chance of selling and it will left you on top. Always have good study on any coin, create strategies and apply it well.

Ethereum hardfork is not a rumour, it will surely happen, The constantinople hardfork is some kind of improvement to the old ethereum.
I believe this will be a new starting point for ethereum to be even better than before.

for now I buy some Ethereum and will hold it for some time until there is a significant change in the market and will sell it if it has benefited.

I think you should be very careful with that terminology of buying and selling on news is just similar with FOMO Be very watchful of the things you do First know the project and determine the news intensity first before taking any action

This theory does not always help us because it can often be so that everything happens in a completely different way.

everything has been disputed this is not a rumor, ethereum is really doing hardfork but this has not had any effect on ethereum prices at this time.

I get your point, when ever a rumor spread there is slight chance that a price of a coin will surely increase and many people race to buy that coin.
And with some good news spread about the coins it will increase even more that could also able to trigger a bull run.

Everything depends on what rumors or news are about :-\

Not really, sometimes there are times when Whales pump excuses. so we can't be too fixated on rumors and news. so always pay attention to the chart if it looks like it's going to go up, then buy it.

Whales demands and it's up to traders and investors to ride with it, if you know how to read the chart and you already have a nice experience with how the whales works, this news and rumors can be a good guide for you as most the time whales will go against the directions and bring the trend to the other side, not as always but you need to be more careful and assess things before going to invest.

One of the successful strategies of our market, because it is in this way that people try to keep afloat. Because it is on rumors that people can actually make a purchase or sale. I think that makes sense

The success of this strategy lies solely in the fact that now there are huge opportunities to buy, now all the leading projects cost very little, despite the previous opportunity to invest in LTC, you still have the opportunity to invest in it.

Those who bought on rumour of that eth fork, I hope they made good profit from it. I didn't hear people talk about profits after the fork, so I wonder..

This was the fundamentals I learnt while walking up the ropes of crypto trading. Though the influence and power has diminished recently as a result of the market bear, the core meaning of the exercise is still being explored for benefits. This is because, the phrase still holds true. People still buy the rumors, sell the news. This one point that has generated a lot of profits for users in the past.

In Friday the rumour of Bitcoin ETF has appeared. Somebody told that maybe next week some decision will be taken in. And BTC price rapidly grown up to 10%.
It confirms that tesisis about buing on rumours. In few days we will see would the second part come true

This is the strategy that most traders and investors use. Although, it might sometimes fail,. depending on the project you are dealing with. I use it for projects hat i trust and nit just any.
If you are going to be using this method, it is very useful when the rumour is very fresh and the same thing with the news when you want to sell, but most importantly the former. Which is why you would need to do continuous and proper followup.

You as an investor can also make the mistake if buying on rumour which might be FUD and shilling and end up paying the price of wrong purchasing decision

It also can happened. But it should remember that only rumour without other signals to buy\sell can't be enough trustable. But is one of the factors that need to take into account

Then who are the ones sharing the rumour if not those who also share the news when it time, rumour don't easily convince people to buy or sell like news, people calm a little bit and pay attentively to rumour before actions.

It depends on the news, I saw Ethereum rise to about 150 dollars simply because of the Constantinople hardfork, and it dropped back to about 100 dollars when the fork was said to have been postponed.

We had many such situation in the past that the market reacts on the rumors and the price is already established when the event happens. It is not always the situation like that as crypto market is completely unpredictable so we have to be very careful with that strategy.

The market is always unpredictable but as a trader we should follow that principle, if you can follow that properly, it will make your profitable.
It's not being greedy and will make you stay with your strategy, buying in rumor and sell the news is a saying for short term traders since
most of the time, when there is a good rumor, the price will pump and will dump after a news.

I think news is more dangerous than the rumour because news is controled by groups by an organized way and lead everyone to go follow by their way

If positive news, for example, cooperation with the company, crypto is usually experiencing an increase. And if there is bad news there must be a very dramatic drop in prices. That's what often happens now. It should be, when there are positive rumors you should hurry to buy. Because usually it must go up after a while there is good news.

News that was published affects the market, and you are right it's been controlled by big whales club who really dictates the directions of the industry,
its hard to for little traders/investors like us to really read what's between their minds and how to anticipate correct movements to happen, whales have
it's own way, they created rumors and if that shake the market they will published news making things to go whatever the trend they like.

Rumor and news is always become a great influence on the cryptocurrency market. When ever there are rumor and news about some coins or all coins, mostly will drag the cryptocurrency to rise or fall in a face pace, that what force us to keep our ears open on every rumor and news that popping up.

even though rumors and news have always become a great influence on the cryptocurrency market, as a trader we must think clearly and find out the calm of the real situation so that we are not carried away by the flow of numbers that can endanger the assets we have.
sometimes the rumors and news have a very positive impact on us, but most of them are just a scheme made by the whales to control prices in accordance with their plans.

Some of the best experiences one should ever have is profiting big out from rumors. They seem to be like bandwagoners riding in the hype and graciously sell their crypto holdings too at the very right time. Proud to say that i am one of them too especially when there's a hype crypto erupts while my other crypto holdings remained stagnant.

Yes, this news does affect many people that they will buy coins or sell coins. But for me, I often see the Crypto market situation. By monitoring every day, of course, I can decide to buy or sell. Because daily trading will be more profitable.

The only question is whether the fork not will be transferred again and whether there will be a growth of the parent coin after that. So it’s not very correct to work on rumors alone, this can nullify your capital.

At some point, this is applicable if you are a trader but it does not work at all times, because nowadays there are lots of hypes in crypto Industry, we have to avoid those suspicious projects which are run by suspicious developers or team, but talking about good coins, yes I do believe that this is a normal phenomena of during, taking and playing on the situation is still the best idea and method in order to earn profits.

Strategies of this kind today will still greatly improve the situation of your deposits, because I believe that cryptocurrencies in a very short time will still be able to become popular again. I think that everything will work out.

Don't see any good future for ethereum at the moment. The project is losing its power and only huge bull run can save it. But it is possible that even in that case some other projects will take the lead.

If you think that it will work then go for it. The best thing in crypto is that there is no guru here. So don't take anyone's advice, their advice would be as good as your own.

if a year or two is a short time, then you are right. in a couple of years, the cryptocurrency will again be very popular and prices will start rising

To be honest, in my understanding, almost all the news is somehow rumored, I mean the news that is created specifically to raise the noise. We live in an era of fake news, which makes me skeptical about all the news.

This is one of the best strategies on the falling market, to buy deep and to sell before some great news. But unfortunately the half of investors are buying during the big news and are selling deep and quiting the market after all.

Basically, we must know the increase in ETH prices current conditions, when prices are low ETH can become a potential profit in the future. At this time in February, ETH prices have increased from $ 100 to $ 120 and this is the beginning of your chance to buy ETH and wait for price increases. If the news is true, then you will profit even though we do not know when prices will rise.

I can’t agree with this opinion as the fundamental analysis of the market is not always effective, because over the past years the market for cryptocurrencies has already adapted to this type of analysis and in most cases when investing with this analysis it is not always a good profit and that is why I also recommend using technical analysis, as it can be used to analyze the market and have an idea about the future behavior of the chart.

Actually information about hardfork on ETH it is nor rumour, but official announcement from dev team. Volume is growing just because it will be big step in development of Ethereum and speculators expect price growing. It's call trading on event, not on rumour ;)

Of course, in my opinion, there is no need to obey rumors and believe in the ideas of people who are seeking benefits from you.
News definitely delights us and the cryptocurrency market is starting to rise from the bottom right now.
I am sure that you need to believe and invest in coins that have a future and you will always win.

Yes, usually on the day of the event for which the news appeared, the price of the coin is already falling. But I still think that it is necessary to find such projects in which you can invest for several years in advance. Then the news will not be important.

I heard a few times today that the fork will be delayed once again. Do you know anything about it? It looks exactly like a rumor, because I didn't see any news at legit sources about it yet.

If you are really doing that you are doing what professionals are doing.  The rumours is really the best time to buy buy as the market will reset after the news has been released.  Many traders are investing into the market without adequate knowledge on how to interpret the rumours and news that come into the market.

Old joke in Wall Street explains it: Whenever you read positive news in newspaper then it is too late to invest in stock ;) Having inside information is illegal but regulation rules are not applied in crypto industry.

The Ethereum fork rumour worked earlier this year, we saw ETH rise to the highest price for months because of the rumour. The problem is to actually know when the price has tanked up in order to catch out and not get drowned in the process.

People are careful of the rumour and no one is selling the news. The era has gone. This time is about building the space about valid factors that will reduce volatility and keep money in the space. If you buy any rumor with the mind to sell it, u will be disappointed that no one will buy it from you.

I don't think this rule is working now. Most good news does not affect the cryptocurrency market. The market has become very slow and inert.

I guess it doesn't gone. We're at the bear market and it's very hard and not correct at all to go against the main trend. Actually it's one of the major trading mistakes. The trend is your friend, so during the bear market - only short.

All hopes seems to have been dashed when the announced hardfork got postponed, because a lot of people bought ethereum at that time and were waiting to get the hardfork.
When the rumour came, so many of them were not buying, not until when it was announced, which is the same as the news. So I was not surprised that some people lost. It's a lesson for all.

There was a time when I followed my every favorite coin's twitter handle, telegram channel to get the update about the future plan and news. Because of that news helped the coin boost the price. But from mid of 2018, the scenario was different. News or update did not help enough. I think the time is changing again, ETH hard fork announce helped the ETH price, it went more than 158 USD! So, you can apply this tactic, because buy n rumor and sell on news is profitable for the traders.

This is the reason they gained the second spot people are now buying in the last minute, it's so easy to make money in this rumor and this is one good example, but not too many of us is that wise, if you have bought for the last two weeks and sold some of it, then congrats for making a profit.

very interesting proverb, but I think that in the cryptocurrency market it is not suitable, because it is already known that the cryptocurrency market can not be analyzed, it is impossible to predict the growth of the coin is repeatedly proved.You better do the analysis yourself and don't trust anyone

This is the most common mistakes for investors right now that leads on the end crying. Because they have been easily fooled in just a rumor, without making research first.

we really have to buy when there are rumors that can raise the price of coins, but we must remain cautious and analyze so that when prices fall back then we already have the opportunity to sell these coins, rumors of hardfork ethereum can indeed raise ethereum prices but if delayed again then the possibility of ethereum prices will decline again

Devs played well with this news and two scam fork news shaked weak hands. Scammed people cry for recovering losses but unfortunately there is no way to recover after disclosing private keys. Buying rumours for investing purpose and selling later is key to be successful here.

As you say, this weakness makes people lose, they are lazy to find the truth and draw conclusions from others that it is true. We can all avoid it by reading a lot of news about Crypto's development and analyzing it before making a decision. I myself am still learning and there are still many mistakes that must be corrected.

This is the best trading pattern
But you need to always stay up to date for it to work out for you

So simply dyor always and have a good network to send out tokens when it’s right

Several speculations on ETH hardfork, sure the hardfork will have an impact on the price of Ethereum, the best strategy is to ensure you have a stake of ETH in your wallet, but ensure it is an amount you can afford to loose.

But it was working again from last week. the price of ethereum steadily growth because most of ethereum speculators are keep buying before the hardfork will come as soon as possible dude. But that true if rumour was playing a lot on this market.

But unfortunately the fork has been delayed for some time that we don't know how long it will be.
When you see the market price dropping, it is a chance to buy the coins with a lower price in the market.
There were few forks of ETH, but most of them turned into a scam fork, constantinople is the most legit fork.

ethereum has been much stronger than yesterday, shifting the ripple at the market cap and the price also held $ 121. this is far better than the end of last year. I think this is the right time to buy.

Ethereum is now recovering, although not entirely, of course this is good news, especially for supporters of this coin, they believe that ethereum will return to its normal price again even though it requires time.

Actually you don't even need others to say to yourself that you need to buy, by just doing some sort of a market analysis, you can earn profit when you buy at good prices in the market.

It's easy to say, but hard to put this in peactice, my friend. What happens if you buy the rumours but they never become news? You will most likely fail into a "buy high, sell low" loop, as most of crypto investors did in 2018.

This truth was true before it passed to the masses. Now it is not possible to make out which rumors will turn into news and which ones will not. This has become another tool for manipulation.

This is really a fake news of Ethereum, I joined this bounty of Ethereum but it's a scam and then Ethereum's price has dropped after  this bounty ends . (bounty link  : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5089912.0 ) 

In my opinion,  Ethereum hardfork will positively affect its price. I think Ethereum will grow on the background of hardfork to about 140-150 US dollars. Then the strongest dump in the region of $ 90 is possible.

Well i think everyone is waiting for the constantinople fork
a transforming of POW to POS architecture seems like a big change as mining would not be relevant anymore

However, how successful it would be? Would Proof of stake make it better in the sense of POW?
Its hard to say as we have more and more of different blockchain mining architecture
Personally i feel DPOS is kinda a good one, it is similar to POS but more flexible imo

ETH will have much less inflation and many people still buy ETH to trade other altcoins and tokens so it will always be quite popular, but I feel once the price nears around 150 USD again, the whales will want to dump the price back to around 100-110 USD as they normally do. ETH to trade can be really profitable, so we will see where it goes. We saw ETH bottom out at around 70 USD a little while back but I do not think it will go that low right now unless Bitcoin tumbles and starts a long capitulation period lower than we are already now. So there are more factors that influence the price of Ethereum, not just what is happening in it's own back yard but also what is happening with Bitcoin and general market sentiment.

Yes Buy on rumors and sell on the news is the best way to gain profits or prevent losses. Because some big investors deliberately make rumors to get personal benefits, so you have to follow their game.

If the fork happens for eth do they have the date? It would be helpful to know and then we can buy the day before. What you need to do is then wait for the fork and the next day sell eth and keep the fork.

Buy the rumor and sell the news is not working anymore because the market in bearish sentiment. When crypto market on bullish mode that is always work and the price will going up when any rumor and will going down on news. Alot of positive news been coming but currently the market sideaway because the market sentiment not in bullish yet.

Its true constantinople is legit fork. But without fork, ethereum is good coin and used by most token in market and its worth to collect and hold for long term. Recently, there is news that nasdaq will list ethereum and bitcoin

It is difficult to say what the price will be, but in any case, the demand for ETHEREUM will be very large.Other than that, fewer people wil lsell it.I would not buy coins rumored. You need to buy when you know for sure that the coin is promising and necessary.

I feel that the price of any altcoin is rising in a short period of time. What is needed is hype and publicity.

The price of current ETH has not been able to increase in the past few days. I think we will soon see the ETH collapse in the next few days, the market and ETH are still not ready to have a new growth this year

Does this buy the rumor and sell the news thing really still work? Cos as far as I know when there is a bad rumor, sure people run and CMC drops which indicates a good time to invest but most investments may turn out to be a bad move.

 absolutely right, I agree with you, I also usually do that because with the rumors, there are many traders who will buy these coins and certainly will have an impact on the prices that will rise and at that time we can sell the coins that we have bought

It seems to me that the presence of rumors today may entail real actions of investors who have been in a waiting mode for a very long time, it seems to me that there are a lot of such people.

Sometimes the rumour can be a chance for us. remember when this will become a real thing and then it will bring the instant pump to the coin which was getting a rumour. The speculators are taking it seriously dude. this is the fact and rumour can't be abandoned.

this shity plan does not work any more. only for specific project with news about specific milestone.

the use as trader manages of decision with the anchoring gives as gains with returns of news on reference as defining tasks of option to put as requesting new position with the market of exchange.

I think that many rumors can be false. Therefore, it is difficult to determine which of them are correct. The situation in the market can change very quickly.

 A month has passed. Nothing has changed. Of course, the market is growing, but not by news. Also fraudsters, tried to steal money on this naive news.

Agree with that.
I think rumors and news now is can't to predictable again. even that rumors or news is good but it still can not to affect the current market.

Investors who apply this strategy tend to seek out undervalued markets. When potential news or information, which serves as a rumor, suggests that an asset may produce more future cash flows, it may be worth more in the next few weeks or months. Investors will buy that asset up to the point where it is no longer undervalued.

The best strategy at the moment is to buy some crypto currencies at the moment while the prices are deep. You can sell them before all the major announcements and it is still very profitable to use this strategy.

I do the same as you. But while still looking for trading signals. This is a fairly profitable type of investment.  ;)

Those who say that now many rumors and differentiate between real from fake difficult are right in their judgments. But who said that the strategy proposed by TS will be simple and the money will flow like a river? Those who believe that this strategy does not work receive information later than necessary))

Rumors of an Ethereum update have been circulating for a very long time, but still no action. I think that this time the Ethereum update can really take place, because too many times it has already been postponed and now they can do it, because they believe that people are already disappointed and will not fall for new "provocations".

"Buy low then sell high". That's the basic rule on investment. ETH's price now is at $126 and I think it will rise up high after the Constantinople fork happens at the block 7,280,000.

News with current crypto is not really influential. For example, Coinbase has just announced ZCash will list new on its platform, but ZCash's price doesn't seem to be affected.

https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/1096469233792360448

There was supposed to be an Ethereum hardfork which was later cancelled. I don't really think there was a concrete reason for the cancelling.

That's indeed, speculators are putting their money on the specific news about the result of development progress rather betting on the rumor but that's not 100% correct if you are seeing what was happening with bitcoin after the commissioner of SEC said ETF has a chance to be approved by regulators.

That is very true. Most people who had cheap eth sold when it was around 500-1000$ and never regretted doing so. This is the right time to buy and when things are good, you sell for new people at a higher cost.

Sometimes it will backfire on you so just be aware of what you were doing and be ready to face anything.As you said this can be a good time to make money since the prices were increasing for the last couple of days.

Good investors take advantages from the  weaker ones, they are balancing the on how they gained good amount of profits when they heard
some news that will make things move around the project, for those who able to buy ETH last december before the pending fork has announced
and still holding it right now, already got a decent earnings coming from the increase of its value.

They were selling ethereum because they are waiting for a long time to see the price increase back. And now, they can see this is happening, so they decide to sell ethereum. I think right now is a good time to sell some portion if we were bought ethereum at the low price so we can get the profit. But if we buy ethereum at $100-$130, then I think you need to wait for another time to see the higher price so you can make a bigger profit.

i guess that will also depend on the news  . some news are not really attractive , some are also fake  .  so what if zcash will be listed on coinbase ? listing a certain coins does not really have an impact with the prices of other cryptos  .

buying on rumor and selling on news is a bad idea because rumors are not guarantee to happen . same as on news . 

id better follow my own instincs and i better do my own research because those can give me more accuracy , than depending on some unreal facts .

it most likely after the hard fork constantinople there will be a dump of the value on the market, however according to me the best method is study the candles and then according to the trend do trading

Yeah, I always doing that since the last time but I do failed to sell my own coins because there are such conditions where I cannnot touch my computer.

The growth of the ETH rate is more due to the increase in the value of BTC, it, like other altcoins, follows the main coin. ETH is waiting for the network update, not the hard fork, we will get improvements, but will not get a new coin. I don't really understand this approach, when you focus on news to make a decision about buying or selling a coin, it's not right.

so far Etherum shows strong prices in the market. there is no deep decline, but the increase in the etherum is slow but sure. I think this year will be the best for Etherum.

If you are an active trader, then it is better to sell ETH now, while the price still allows, as the price may fall before hard forks. And if you have invested in long-term, then I see no reason to do anything, just store ETH further.

I would not say that the events about the upcoming hard forks are rumors, this is rather news, but the fact that the price will grow after its launch is most likely rumors))

My advice is, make in depth research and buy reliable coins.
I'm currently investing in faireum.io

I don't know about this coin, but I noticed about your post in other threads, so I checked your posts and most of it is promoting the project.
Strange, if this project is good, you don't need to recommend it every time you post, people will go after it, I'm sure they have an ANN thread here.

There is nothing like that if we definitely had some investment then and we will need to make it a profitable investment can only the investment will be right otherwise hearing the rumours about the future will not give you any confidence and it will not be right Idea also.

we should be able to remain calm and continue to safeguard our assets until we get a profit from our investment. if you panic at the news, I think it will make you lose your investment. keep calm, and do research with your investment.

It seems that the hard-fork has failed. I didn't see it at CMC and it seems that it's just a rumor to make the price of ETH grow. Is this a conspiracy theory of Vitalik or is it really a hard-fork failure?

When most people think it's very risky move, they doesn't know that risky path will bring them a joy delight
Cryptocurrency especially altcoin have unexpected journey that will lead into unexpected result.

So how dare are you to play them ?

Ethereum has announced its hardfork when it worth a hundred dollars and this time it's worth a hundred and fifty dollars. That's a lot of increase consider the block reward gets decreased not more than 30% from the last block reward.

probably you are right if you are doing this type of investment we will definitely consider some rumours because we will not know how the future is going to be so prediction is always important to find the good investment that's why I have read this.

It seems to me that now this rule does not work. This could only be done at a time when there was a bullish trend in the market. Now cryptocurrency weakly reacts to the news.

not news, it is weak against this market are difficult, or indeed the news which has not been in accordance with the target. now that is a great news to attract investors to come to the crypto. It's obvious when a large volume of investment by getting into the market growth will then crypto is coming soon.

You must be very careful when you believe in the news, I think that the bifurcations are for bitcoin, the other currencies also have the right, but it is not as decisive as bitcoin.

Currently, ETH can take a lot of strength due to the new amount of new projects that have been manifesting, its volume increases in the amount of money injected, it is better to wait, since this phase of the market is accumulation, and the best strategy is , similar to the one applied by Jesse Livermore (famous speculator), buy everything you can, to produce many gains at the time of beginning the uptrend phase and distribution.

ETH fork is done and sadly the price is still the same like the old ones. It's not showing the price will be go up or not.

On the other hand, buy on rumour and sell on news is a good strategy imo, because you can get a huge profit by doing that, i saw some people do this and they got a really big profit.

Yes, but we need to follow these things with the potential coins which have active developments and we need to grab those coins when their price is low in the market. Wait until we hear some positivity activity from the team will definitely help us to increase their value in the market.

Bad that I didn’t read this thread because from this point Ethereum has pushed the capitalization and starts to climb from below $100 to the highest of 2019 of $130 that was a %30 growth in just a month,hoping that you did purchased OP because atleast you are in profit now and maybe until the bullrun

of course the price of Ethereum now  higher than before , no problem buying ethereum now even though it's up 30% than before because in my opinion ethereum is a good coin and can give big profit

A lot of people agree Ethereum can be good coin in future. Because it is still on top of altcoin, and it can give good profit like when it's pumped in past. And a lot of people still use it for transaction fee to token and it still make demand for it.

Opportunities to buy coins when the price of coins has begun to decline. I think if you rely on negative news to influence Crypto prices, I think it's not effective. And the news is not necessarily true. You better keep monitoring the market and when the price has dropped can immediately buy coins.

ethereum I think is still the first choice for investment. but I think it will be better in the long run because the market is not so good for the short term now. ethereum will re-shine in the future, look at the next few years etheruem will return to the top.

No one says that theres a problem about purchasing with 30% increase in price,what i am saying is if i should have bought from that price for sure i am in profit now,not like if i will buy right now is another waiting game is what will happen.
And cant you see?i support Ethereum and i see nothing issue why you need to comment,you keep on talking about the goodness of this coin but the question is have you invested in Ethereum?

The market cycle will usually grow in Q2. so i think you should buy ETH now. Its price is still not high compared to its true value.
$ 140 is a reasonable price to hold for 1-3 months. I'm sure the price of ETH will soon increase to $ 200 in Q2 and Q3.

unequivocally, the prices for ethereum should rise in the near future, but as the team said, there will be no hardfork anymore, although if you take into account the update of Constantinople, this is only the beginning for the further development of ETH.

Cryptocurrency is very unpredictable. I think that no rules work here. We must be very careful when investing in crypto.

maybe that's true, but so far the news has become a factor that greatly influences the price movement of a coin,
so there's nothing wrong if we follow the news, the most important thing is that the news we choose is valid.

It is necessary to take into account the fact that it is thanks to the information space that many groups of cryptocurrency users manipulate the actions and minds of other participants in the cryptocurrency market a. In any case, you need to conduct a personal study of information and draw certain conclusions.

For me, the changing strategy is more important than having to wait for prices to rise. Indeed, news can affect price increases and decreases. But do you have to wait until the news is there? It's better to trade every day, though fortunately it's small but gives us benefits.

Agreed, cryptocurrency is very unpredictable and anything can happen in crypto. There is no exact strategy but buy on rumour and sell on news still work imo, because i also do that and got a good amount of profit. People really like a rumour or issue or gossip, the market can easily pumped with that info.

Already, ethereum is the queen of the market in the second place after bitcoin. Although the others to compete with it has been available for a long time, eth always keeps its own place, and in the future it will be in the price it deserves.

Very often there was information about the statements of many members of the ethereum team that  could reach $ 5,000 and $ 10,000. Of course, this will take years, but nonetheless, if you make long-term investments, then its duration is not limited. Although in the near future I cannot even dream of such prices for eth.

I think there is not much secret about it! But lately people are selling on the rumors and buying on the news. This kind of behavior misleads many investors. :D The correct thing is that people buy what they want to use or that they strongly believe that someone will use it. In fact, this exercise is not easy because most projects don't make much sense so far.

Perhaps the stray is new investors. those who have experienced will not ignore it, they know which ones are fake and which one is right. the news will spread quickly, but for experienced investors, they will still be quiet.

It is the most basic thing on trading but it is also something very hard to follow.

Because when something is raising you are getting the feeling that it will go like that forever. Also when you think about how good value brought before the news, news should bring more value. But no, it is always, when the expected happens, you need to sell.

We know how that news are so influential to us especially if you are in doubts of what you are doing( just to say in trading). It sometimes will give awareness to everyone, but it could be different in trading life where we just be considerate of the market flows and not just in news. Market trends change always and we never know where it goes exactly, relying news in trading isn't a good strategy to follow.

I think there are still a few who know the method from you, many new traders who still often panic when they see the bad news they cannot distinguish it from false news or not because at this time many people are doing it, they make bad news about cryptocurrency in some the media aims to make traders panic and make the price of the cryptocurrency fall.

So, the first quarter of the year is over, and I think that we cannot call it a bad period. Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as Litecoin, managed to grow well. I am sure, that the market will be rising.

I would like to mention the following in hardforter ethereum, which are also spoken about by users of cryptocurrency. There have already been repeatedly a statement from the ethereum team that the updates will be very large-scale, but there will be no more ETH counterparts. Nevertheless, the erc20 platform is being improved and this is a direct signal to all potential investors.

the ethereum fork  is nothing to do with  the price of ethereum.. price probably will go up when people starting to see progress on the current price..

Among traders, there is an opinion that news is a secondary confirmation signal for asset analysis. Thus, news (and rumors, like the type of news) can't be the determining factor for making decisions on the market.

Yes correct because as soon as a good development or anything good happens people are aimed to sell their coins because there is nothing to wait anymore.

I think is ok to buy on rumour but if comes bad news then maybe the price is not so good and not all will sell when news coming. If ETH goes to PoS then i don't know if the price will be what is now.

Technically and logically analyze the market first and know that there are many people out to capitalize on your losses and use that as an opportunity while devouring your money so analyze first before buying rumors or news is really important to read the market first

You must be very careful, what you must be clear at this time is that we are in a phase of accumulation according to what I have studied in the market since the Wyckoff philosophy, so being in this phase of accumulation it is best to buy, because in fact is the phase where the ETH will be very cheap and you must sell at the Distribution stage, the big speculators were not carried away by the news, unless it is a Fundamental, the rest only relied on their analyzes and structures studied in the market.

I think lately there are a lot of traders who are easily affected by rumors that ultimately make the cryptocurrency price condition very cheap because many traders are panicking and when prices go up they also panic by buying when the price rises is the wrong step and make many new traders lose.

It's a textbook strategy same as the buy low sell high principle. These rumors must be coming from somewhere and more likely than not, there are facts backing it up. And even if there are none, rumors could still hype a certain coin at any time and start a fomo wave. If in case the rumors have facts, then you'll be able to take advantage when news comes out and the value of your coin pumps up.

While buying the rumours is a strategy that has been known for a very long time it is really difficult to execute it correctly because the most important thing about the rumour is who generated the rumour itself? If the rumour comes from an authority in the world of cryptocurrencies then it could be worth to buy some coins but if the rumour comes from a person that is not recognized in the world of cryptocurrencies it could be a better idea to just wait for the price to move.
