Let me get this straight 2019 will be better than 2018 but don't expect too much from it ,even if ETF and bakkt get approved ,that won't trigger the next bull run ,let's start waiting for the next bitcoin halving because that's when the next bullrun will triggered.

Halving will be only in 2020. Therefore, I believe that during the 2019 you should not expect anything at all)

In fact, there are so many moments. No one really knows how Bakkt and CBOE will actually affect the cryptocurrency market. Remember how we dreamed about futures, thought that big money would come? So what do you think?

We may see the bull run but its not going to be much crazy like in 2017 so preparing early will give the profits we wanted,ETF are not much considered by investors they are just terms used by the people who want to manipulate the market.

Aint everything in crypto should be unexpected?

Yes you could say that the value of it could just stay, dump or be pumped. So what is the real purpose of this thread if it will help nothing at all? Just to tell people not to expect anything?

We all feel the same way by now. Just in a calm phase.

You should be calm and positive
There are a lot of expectations in 2019
You just have to identify the focal point and best project

Don’t mix up the advantages
Be smart

We won't be able to know the crypto market perfectly. Bitcoin is always unpredictable so as much disappointment as 2018 we have dreams to be good with Bitcoin in 2019. I think Bitcoin will increase the price but slow and stable.

How I wish the nest bullrun would happen this year as I have been hodling and losing the value of my cryptos. But the situation of the market right now does not show that way. Hoping a major positive event would happen in the crypto would so that investors would be attracted back to cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin is always unpredictable and we should believe in that, What If big whales plan to Invest in BTC for bulk It may be possible right? Yes I agree comparing to the current market situation it is quiet difficult but it doesn't mean bull run will not happen in 2019.

I think that HYIP has passed and now the cryptocurrency market will leave only good projects that create new technologies. All these factors should allow the market to rise slowly and steadily. I really hope that you are right.

Don't expect anything about bull run..cannot predict anything in the market whether it is up or down trend. only time can say

2019 may be better than 2018 only at the end of the year. now I think that the same thing will happen during the year as it was in 2018.

Most of the bull run thread also started and talking by newbie, did you know that bull run prediction is useless, nobody knew that crypto market price is up or down in the future,  stay at here and hold for long term is believe blockchain technology, if not just leave now.

Currently the first days of 2019 are clearly better than the end of 2018. But it is too early to confirm that the market will be better than 2018 in 2019. I still fear that the BTC may go down $ 2000 in 2019

I dont think bitcoin will start bull run again like 2017 in this year. Because people now aware about bitcoin for dumping 20k$ to 3k$. So we need wait to another bull run in future. And I think bull run will start when all crypto holders will be started to forgot about bitcoin bull run.And I also think it will go how much that none can predict it.thanks

We are all hoping for a new bull run, but look at the charts for the last 12 months to get good perspective on where we are right now. What I think we need is to return to that $200b support line for the whole market, and establish new support above that point. This I think should indicate that we are ready for a bull run. As you can see it's still some distance away at present

It depends on what is your definition of "Bullrun"?! usually if the "Market is in Bullish Trends" its also called a Bullrun if we examined the Market now compare to december 2018 its quitely recovering from previous depression. I think its also entitled to called a "Bullrun or Bullish condition" since its slightly recovering now! This was only my personal opinion based on my experiences in Crypto-currency market.

A lot of Investors are waiting for the same but the situation of the market looks like it will take few more months, People are creating hype to see a good market but we all know there is a long way to go for this. market still looks red we need to wait until the market turns green.

I also believe that if ETF and bakkt are approved, then the bull market will undoubtedly be, but so sharp. Prices will rise gradually. But we only have to wait.

I would say anything is better than 2018.
crypto accross the board lost over 80% of its value in 2018.
If that happened again, then btc would be worth like $100 lol.

No, most likely we will see a full year of bearishness with maybe one more crash.
But I don't expect the market to lose more than 20% of its value.
I think we will see another low around march or so with btc being in the $2000s.

Then stability, low volume, and things going nowhere.
It is right to think that 2020 is when things will pick up.
Maybe the halving of mining awards will trigger it, but most likely it is just that the market had two years of crash, so it naturally starts to pick up.

Halving will be an addition to bitcoin bullrun.
Before it go in the community BTC is on bull run by that time. i do believe BAKKT AND ETF will boost the market which will start the great bullrun this 2019.

It should be if 2019 will be better than 2018, for us crypto fans suffer considerable losses last year. We can all see from June to December 2018, the bear market continues. Well, it makes sense if the increase occurs in the middle of the first quarter of this year. Hopefully that will indeed happen. Thank you in advance and spirit!

I think the next bull run will start in the second half of 2019.
The market is growing and gaining new strength, new projects that appear and still appear will give this phenomenon a new acceleration.
All players who will not spare the time and effort to make a profit will earn the desired money.

yes you're right, the bull run is still too long. we have to wait until 2020 to see market growth. ETF and Bakkt are ways that will never come true. so don't expect that this year there will be a bull run.

in the middle of 2019, the recovery of the market will begin, but we will not see the bull run by this time.

I think that the ETF will not be approved this year and the Bakkt will be postponed for another half a year or maybe until the end of 2019.

if only recovery seems now the market has begun to recover. see many altcoins that have started to stabilize and prices are slowly rising. but if for the pump you seem right, it won't happen anytime soon.

I will only be expecting different coins to grow based on their individual development. If there is no development on or around a coin, the there might not be growth, because gone are the days that coins grow based on mere app and no product to support it.
Things have really change. Personally, I expect less of bull run this year, yet we can still make our profits.

Bitcoin is unpredictable of course but the fact that it will grow in the future , I think few people doubt, I think in 2019 there will be some positive news !

I believe the bull run will begin this year. maybe summer or even last year we will be able to get profit from our investment. at this time there may be no signs of a bull run going to occur. because this is still too early. but by the middle of the year the market will start moving

You are right. There is no certainty that this year will be better than last year in terms of major price movements. However, one thing is certain, there is certainly going to be more awareness and exposure for crypto this year as more people will look at exploring the technology. We all certainly hope that, this will bring in more investments into the market which will ultimately lead to price movements.

The crypto market is so good that at any moment a reversal can happen and growth begins. It all depends on the desire of major players in the crypto market.

yep, 2019 will be better than 2018, i believe a lot good news will come in this year
and halving on bitcoin will increase the demands on bitcoin but thats will happend in 2020
regards

Everyone expects a bull market in 2019. I hope so too. However, whales usually make manipulations contrary to the expectations of most people.
That is why it is worth preparing for the worst.

So far, I don't think about the bullrun because, in my opinion, the bull run will not be reaching in some next months. We can see the fact in the market progress right now. This market is still bearish and it is still few progress to rise up. That is why we should only support the market, not only expecting about the bullrun.

Expecting too much might disappoint you later on so better not to set any high target, and just wait for the next confirmation of a bull run. Yes, 2019 will be better but we are still in the place when there is too much speculation for the future price. The next bull run will be stronger than the previous one.

I think the next bull might be next year. I think that  market is not yet ready for a strong increase in the price of cryptocurrency. I believe that cryptocurrency can survive.

It will trigger at least with a minimal effect that we expect.

But there's still no clear indication that the bull run will trigger as soon as possible after ETF and Bakkt's launching and activated. There's more way to go for the bull run to start running wild with the crypto market. We're all speculating that something good will happen.

yah the bitcoin halving gives me much hope, because we all know that many people are going in in terms of emotion when something very very good is about to happen to a certain coin. The key is, we need to get involve months away before bitcoin halving happens. But remember to take profits, The mistake i did not do this last bull run is, i become too greedy to sell And thinks that the price will go up forever.

I hope that the bull run will occur this year, whether it's the beginning of the middle or the end of the year, but this is certainly not an easy thing to go to the bull run, be patient and believe that the bull run will come when the time comes

I think bull run is not about the year, it can happen anytime since there is no centralized organization that control the cryptocurrency.
That way, we just have to wait patiently while we gain as much info as possible, cause a little info is so much crucial for cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin now reached 4000 dollars. I guess it will going to continue to pave up way higher. The bull run might be waiting us this 2019, I can say because of market news from known crypto celebrities and experts that conducts market analysis, technical and fundamental analysis of the situation. Well, its better to stay tuned.

ETF and Bakkt launch are going to push the whole industry forward and maybe to set up the next bullish trend, because if these updates would not launch the bullish market, we can leave it and come after 5-6 years.

I guess you are right, and I have the same idea, but as we can see the recent hacking on several crypto make the Bitcoin falling more than 5% one day after the hacking. And of course, it affect the other crypto. If this hacking chain continues I don't think we will have any bull run this year. I don't say it will be worse than 2018 (because 2018 is absolutely the worst) but if this hacking continue we will stay in this stage, we will not have any bull run.

If both of those which you have mentioned get approved, the market will definitely be changed with a huge portion. Other than this, market will rarely have a bullrun and the possibility of hitting an ATH this merely true.

bull run will not be available in the near future. you should have understood this. ETFs will not be approved by the SEC, so don't expect etf. and I heard that it has delayed the launch again.

conditions that will occur in the crypto would never be expected results. 2019 is not necessarily going to be a good time from last year and the bull is also uncertain. If it could be better but will not direct the big changes happen all the time. may hardfork the early years could help raise prices for some crypto but will not jump even further.

if depend on your statement, it mean next bullrun would happen on 2021 when bitcoin halving again, its too long for waiting, we need bullrun this year.

It is very difficult to know how the market works. When bitcoin was established in 2019, none had expected this digital currency to hit around $20000 one day. And now people have not expected it to reach even $ 50000 one day. I am not saying that it will increase, it may reduce to mere $ 2000. So stay calm, and be positive. What I am sure about cryptocurrency is that it will stay here with us forever irrespective of its prices.

Of course the bullish race will begin. Not today or tomorrow, but he will definitely be. Cryptoactives are in their infancy and the bull run will be the most previous. preparing infrastructure around the world. Improved tools for protection, storage ... Many experts predict growth at the end of 2019. We'll see.

Some believe that it has already begun and what is happening now is Bullrun. If we talk about an increase of up to $ 20,000, this will be my latent end to this year, and maybe later, but not earlier than that.

You are right bakkt and some other good events will boost up the crypto market and i am sure bitcoin and all other coins will boost.

     We can not accurately predict whether the crypto market will enter the bull's age in 2019. But we can look at the good part of this current situation. We have another year at our disposal for investment. I think the bull run will come in 2020, when the bitcoin is halved. But in 2019, the ETH will be halved. So I expect the price of an ETH to be much better than in 2018.

to be very honest no one is sure about the bull run every one is guessing & expecting about it. I expect that 2019 will be not the bull run year. it may be stable but i think it will remain under 10000 usd for this year but it is my guess only we can see bull run as well by the end of year.

The next half will be only in 2020, so it seems to me that in 2019 we are unlikely to see active market growth!

we can only hope for good, pray, and continue to patiently wait for the news that can shange the current market situation, even though we don't know the exact time, which does not perserve our assets

I think you have a point, the bear market just clocks a year and we are not even at the bottom yet. Also when you look at the trend of the last bull runs you will see that they came after bitcoin halving. I think the trend will continue like that.

Well, I'm not expecting too much in the next two months, but I'm confident about April/May. It will be really awesome to hold then, but now I want the market more down so that I can buy more and prepare for the bull run.

I am sure that you will see your minimums and in the next couple of months you will have the opportunity to buy Bitcoin and other currencies even cheaper than now

It is crazy for someone to want the crypto market to go even deeper just to buy it cheap. Isn't very cheap now? Do you even think that when the crypto market losses like half of its value means no more volumes and traders and investors will be leaving? Why not try to buy those dead coins that have very cheap to no value then? :D :D :D

Isn't is funny for looking for more downside when prices are down more than 5 times from ATH? Volume is low also if someone wanna to enter marketwith big pocket. Considering this dead coins can get boost with small pumps.

These people are all about talk. The moment their target to buy price get hit, they will then say I will wait for more dip. In the end they ended up not buying and will cry and whine when the prices move up again.  :D :D :D

Maybe that they are waiting for even greater price drops is not so crazy. See what happened to the Ethereum price in the last hours. Ethereum is again in the third position on the coinmarketcap. It is possible that the bottom has not yet been found and larger price drops will yet come.

I agree that when will be bitcoin halving then there will be a market growth, but I am not sure about ETF, I think it will be transferred for a long time, but there is hope for bakkt and bitcoin futures, perhaps with the help of this the market will start to grow.

This year I think Bitcoin will initially keep its growth and expand its recovery to reach higher levels. It is like the economic crisis of 2008, and you know the stocks gradually increased a lot at the present time when compared to 2008.

I'm sure yesterday's fall was the lowest. so this is only a small decrease to prepare for the big leap to come. this is a good time to buy, if it's too late yesterday.

Nah. They won't buy. They will hope and pray that ethereum drops below $100 again. And when it drops below, they will hope again to buy ethereum during its first year price. :D :D :D

We always said start waiting. How many times have you guys heard the start waiting sentence? Simply put, you will get a big profit when the bull run comes, but when the bull run doesn't come then I guess you will be disappointed cause you continue to wait. Take out optimism about the bull run, you can invest calmly you can invest with a long term investment, it's not too difficult for me.

I'm not expecting any bullrun this year though but I know that we have some incoming good and better projects ,I'm waiting patiently for those so that I can quickly jump in and invest or mining them before diff sky rocket, have any one of you heard about VEIL project? It is part of the good ones I'm talking about

I doubt 2019 will be as good as its predecessor. In 2018 were two of the productive period(January and end of March - beginning of April) who are given the opportunity to earn for those who wanted it.

I think that in 2019 the market will have a slight increase, probably by the end of 2019. Of course the market will not be able to return to the price as 2017, if at the end of 2019 1 BTC will cost $ 8000.

I don't expect a bull rally in 2019, I am waiting for network scaling and increasing of network capacity to attract new investors. In 2017 the market was overheated due to the greed of lay people and then there were no fair prices.

It will start in Spring this year. But start dont mean same as November 2017 but more like October 2015. After bull run start will take around 2 years to reach that bull run ATH.

I believe that 2019 would be an ok year for crypto. It wont be bearish like 208 and it won't be bullish like 2017 but it will add gradual increase in price and will bring back the confidence of the masses.

Probably you are right and the launch of the platform and the adoption of the SEC is unlikely to help start the growth of the market, so you need to navigate that the growth will begin after half!

The market has taught me to be ready for any outcome of events. I do not expect a bull run in the near future. I prefer, first of all, the development of technology this year, which will entail attracting new investors and the development of a crypto market.

We see that today's market has decreased and will not increase in the near future, hoping that developments will occur to restore and increase crypto expansion so that later it will have a positive impact. There will be an increase in the coming month and with patience, luck will be gained.

I am also waiting for the growth of Bitcoin. As soon as it is the market leader, the altcoins will follow it for sure. The bull run will come. I do not think that it is funny to wait for this event.

I think there's no need to expect too much from crypto, last year there was an issue that said there would be an increase at the end of the year but what happened was not as expected. For this year it was the same, don't expect this year, crypto is still recovering

Yes, I agree that when bitcoin next halving will trigger the next bull run because many whales will start to buy bitcoin with their billions of investments but nobody knows when will it happen, the market though will surprise us again like last year.

Not sure about that but the price will remain the same at this level. It will be so difficult to be dumped below than this rate and pumped above than this rate too. If you consider how strong the fundamental behind the crypto market and that will give you a lot of clues.

In my opinion, after the events of 2018, many crypto investors don't expect anything from 2019. I also do not expect a strong rise in prices for cryptocurrencies. I hope that at least the fall in prices will stop and the bears will go into a long-awaited hibernation. ;D

I am not waiting for any approval. I am dealing with coins individually and will only go for coins with good working products.
We ought to have got this long before now that, most of what are said to likely receive approvals, might not and that can have negative impact on the market, because if people are expecting an update and it is not forthcoming, then they begin to loose interest.

Whoever has lost and knows what it is to lose, will not want to hear about bull run, because they all now feel its a joke of the day.
Sometimes, the market is just unpredictable. The bull run we talk about might come at any given time, even when we least expect.
So agitating for bull run, will not bring it. It is still feasible, but no one knows the time.

I think the bull is a myth. Which makes us believe. I'm sure we all almost lost faith. Because they have not seen payment for their works for too long. The market is worth it.

Many of the community here are truly waiting and hoping for this thing that's the truth, including myself. Even I knew that it was unpredictable but still I have faith and believed that we can get there sooner or later for sure, just extend more our patience on this matter anyway. Just like you this year 2019 will not be the same of 2018. So good luck to all of us here.

Completely agree that the 2019 may appear to be the better year than 2018, but of course we should remember that it will not be the same profitable and identical like the 2017 year for the crypto market, for example. So of course it would be great to see the bull run finally, but be more realistic and without illusions make the analisys of the situation on the crypto market.

Yes I agree with you. 2019 will be good for crypto. We will be able to see some signs within this year. But we can not expect a bull run in this year. I think it will happen at the end of 2020.

One can never predict when the next bull run will occur. All we know is there will be a bull run but we don't know when or how big or the duration of it.

there is no bull run, you can see now the market has started falling again. we can only hope that this fall is not so bad. honestly this makes me very scared, if things continue like this can be dangerous for the crypto market going forward.

So who’s your source for this Speculation?you dont even bother to put atleast supporting link here and you wanted us to believe you?lol ETF will never come to reality so stop putting that into something real

Bitcoin will stay in this position for atleast another year or two.because the bubble that happen last 2017 is still under recovery

You have to see the positive side, this can be a good time to buy. I don't think this decline will be lower than yesterday. My prediction is Bitcoin at $3500 and ethereum at $100. after that there will definitely be a pump in the market.

maybe we are being tested so that we have to pass the test, don't get discouraged because the market is still alive, so it's likely to be able to rise again.
if it's not now the bullrun will happen tomorrow and if it's not tomorrow then it might be the day after tomorrow so we just need to wait.

I do not think that the launch of Bakkt and the adoption of ETF could have a positive effect on the market. This will only be the first step to a normal situation. Institutional investors will not rush into large investments. I`m waiting for a painful year, which will be even harder than the previous one. You need to have iron nerves to stay in the game.

For example, in 2018 the market fell by 80%, and in 2019 the loss in weight would be 50%. This is certainly better, right? ;D

That's reasonable. We may see a price increase from the ETF and bakkt but I am not too sure if you could call that a rally (definitely not like 2017).

Please people, calm down, why everyone is speculating around ETF or Bakkt. Remember about BTC halving which is going to happen in about May 2020! That's more important thing for Bitcoin.

if the ETF and Bakkt are approved then there is a possibility that the market will be triggered to turn into bullrun, there is an opportunity for bullrun that does not mean that it will actually happen as expected, hoping that does not mean not accepting the facts therefore I hope big by 2019 because it will trigger me to work better and more excited

i have seen lot of good charts by experts. according to them 2019 is a accumulation year. but in the end of 2019 will start the uptrend and it will continue till 2021 then BTC will reach $100K milestone too during that run.

We can only predict based on coin market cap, since there has been some recovery this year of its recent fall in 2018  but no one actually knows when the next bull will eventually commence.

I don't like to make predictions, but here are my expectations. The bottom will probably be in Q1-Q2 2019, a slight but consistent upward movement will begin around Q3-Q4 2019. The real bull run will happen after the halving.

People saying that price won't increase in 2019 at all. But I think that they're wrong. Bitcoin will raise, but very-very slowly. Maybe at the end of the year it will be 10k$

I think 2019 will be a good year for cryptocurrency because we have some events coming up (ETF and Bakkt)  which will drive the market up but I think the bitcoin halving will be the main deal.

And for 2019 I have high hopes. There will be enough new introductions and settlements by states. My belief in a bull run is very high, so I would like it to be true)

whatever it is, no one knows what will happen to the market especially with the presence of ETFs and BAKKT, even without that and without bitcoin having to halve, the market will still have the potential to experience bullrun.
this is about interest so if a lot of people are interested in crypto then the price will go up and in my opinion, this year people will be attracted to crypto not only because there will be ETFs and BAKKT but because there are many other things.
crypto still has many other factors that will trigger bullrun including without having to wait for bitcoin to halve

I am very certain that there will be bull run this year,if that cannot be achieved through ethereum hard fork,bitcoin having may do the justice to that.

I had big hopes for the beginning of 2019, but as we can see almost nothing happened till now. Lets wait a little bit longer and I hope the bakkt launch can move the market up and the ETFs will launch it to the moon.

Yes you are right, we are starting yet the year 2019 so we hope but don't expect the bullrun this year but always think positive and we need more patient for this matter. 2019 is the new beginning  of adventure and taking risk in cryptocurrency  specially  to those investor we don't know what will happen next if have bull run or dumping again we didn't say the next fluctuate so be patient for the bull run if gonna happen this year.

I think that the next drop in the price of Bitcoin will not have to wait long, but about the bullish market the situation is controversial. I hope that it will finally come, but still do not have high hopes.

None of this news will win back and I am sure that in 2019 no surges in market activity should be expected.

Totally true, I think the 2017 bull run has deceived a lot of investors to think that bull runs will come often.
I doubt that a bull rub will happen in 2019, although the approval of ETF and bakkt may bring more stability to the market but I doubt there will be astronomical surgery in prices like there was in Q4 2017.

are you sure 2017 decieved  us ? on the year 2017 there were actually alot of bull runs happened  and the overall crypto market was raised about a 100 percent  .

maybe you mean to say 2o18 ?  because 2o18 is the year that market fall and didnt ever experienced to pump and there are also alot of rumors that a bull will come but that didnt happened at all until we reach the last quarter of the year  . 

 meanwhile , 2019 is surely the year for bulls  because the news is likely legit and aside from it eth do also have an incoming hard fork which can also help for the recovery of the price  .

Jezz! The next halving will happen next year. How would you think people will do during this whole 2019? I think bakkt and ETF will start to push a little bit of the price away off from this bearish market. And i think that's enough to give a chill to most traders since we are all in a rough time last year. It might not trigger but at least we do see some changes.

If ETF and BAKKT approved by SEC, i think it will make investor more confident and market will start bull run. With BAKKT and ETF, billion dollar money from big investor will come to cryptomarket and i am believe market cap value will start recover again.

there are too many predictions about bull run but most of time didnt predict the right one.

The market is dumping and you are saying about bull run, there are lot of predictions on this but I don't believe in them as we say what happened last year when we were looking for a massive pump but in reality we saw other stuff.

It's not dumping anymore as we already are at the bottom.
Thinking of a bull run again is just a sign that we are still positive despite the recent dumps, it cannot be denied
that most of the investors, especially the weak hands have left the market and that causes a sudden dump of price, but this
is not the end, it's part of the journey that we are seeing now, if we can stand here and survive, we have a better shot in the future.

not sure when it will happen but as long as we believe it will happen then we still have the power to hold our coins. I think that hope must be there for everyone because if we have no hope in crypto there is no hope for crypto to be able to live.

Following coinmarketcap definitely will lead to miscalculations as most of the top crypto currencies are highly manipulated with their circulating supply compared to how bitcoin is still the number one coin in coinmarketcap list.

Regardless of when the next bull run will be happening, it is always good to buy some coins when they are available for cheaper prices. Considering this, we should react right now for buying more coins before it will be late.

I think there is very low of bull run within this year. I think even recovery of the market will definitely take at least 1 or 2 year as this current 2018 fall is very deep.

Why do you think so? These two are very triggering events which community wait for impatiently. It can give a boost for the whole market. Plus there are many other great events for 2019. And a few cool projects like Telegram would enter the market. I agree that halving is the super trigger, but nevertheless I expect growth of crypto market in the second half of this year.

The next halving will be around 2020 June, but I do not think bitcoin market's bull run will take that much time. I'm sure about going to have positive market before the end of this first quarter of 2019. Even it will not be a big rally, being positive will be more than enough for many people here.

After year-long down fall market, many bitcoiner and altcoin holders are deliberately looking for positive market so that they can be sure about continuing their faith on crypto currency space.

For a few more months, the price of bitcoin can be in the range of 3000 to 5000 dollars. Therefore, I do not hope for the market, but I hope for myself - we need to look for new ways to earn money - promising projects like decentraland or neoworld.

People should stop expecting bullrun anytime soon ,its not going to come ,the highest price for bitcoin this year won't go over 7000$ and that's no bullrun ,bitcoin halving is 2020 I bet that's the right time

During each bear market they shout that bitcoin is dead. But after “his death,” there is more and more infrastructure around the world. This time the infrastructure is being prepared many times more than it was before. Much bigger. Therefore, now there will be a bullish race, which we did not even expect. Everything has its time. Must wait.

I believe the market will increase in 2019, but it is not a strong rally. Perhaps Bitcoin will cost $ 10,000 at the end of 2019.

In the autumn of 2018 year, there was a very strong drop in cryptocurrencies, which was a natural consequence of the decline in prices during 2018. For people to be interested in cryptocurrencies again, time must pass. And how much time it will take I do not know, perhaps from 2 to 5 years.

There is no bull run for now. Bitcoin going to hit the bottom around 2700 to start a bull run.
I am almost flat now. and will not enter before i see a real bull run signal which will be above 5000$

May I think differently because I think 2019 will not be better than 2018 because if we look at the beginning of 2018 Crypto has a high price but what about the beginning of 2019 is better than 2018? I think 2019 is actually worse than 2018.

In my opinion, the increase in coins in the market is still there but it will not be the same as the increase in 2017. In addition, crypto prices fluctuate when there is good news can definitely increase, so just wait until the time comes because I believe crypto still has a chance to rise again.

Once more, it is about the bullrun. I always say that the bullrun will be coming, but it will not be sure in certain months later. I believe that the bullrun will be at the right moment, when the market has been ready for all condition. Today, market is absolutely red and bleeding, so it will not be in this year maybe.

I beg to disagree with you. I believe that bitcoin etf and bakkt will bring the market into bull run. The approval of those two has long been waiting by groups of investors. Ahead of those two is the ethereum hard fork. To sum them all, the first quarter of 2019 wil be very significant.

Both will be delayed no doubt, repeatedly. And their potential effects on the markets have been overstated. Blessing in disguise though. More time to mine GRIN and stack LUDOS and ZIL :)

As we see the market began mature.Therefore, the price in any case will grow slowly but surely.Many projects really have a lot of work.Since many are not developers, let's trust and hope for those who really do useful things for the entire cryptocurrency space.Bullrun will be-that's only when, it is very difficult to predict

I, as well as the author, are sure that the bulls will return to the market soon and 2019 will be the year of the bull for sure

There is no any signs of bull run now and I see the chances for this are very low this year, the market looks very frustrating and it seems like we need to wait till 2020 for the bull run.

Actually I'm not good in predicting the crypto world because it is too difficult. But, I only have an opinion that the bullrun will not be able to happen in the recent months. I think that the bullrun will happen if the market has been progressing and not in the bearish market. But now, the market is still bearish, very dropped and it dumps.

I think that the launch of Bakkt all the same will give impetus to growth, at least up to $ 10,000, we will get there, and we will not likely see ETF anytime soon.

you can see market is giving green signals and i am sure in 2 or 3 months next bullrun is about to come and we all can take excellent benefits.

People mean different things when they speak of a "bull run". Some of us have bought BTC when it was 20K (or alts in that period), and these people may have to wait for a long time, just to become even.

I think if we have 2019 in mind it's wise to think of more achievable targets (say, 10-12K BTC) and an average movement for alts, somewhere in 2019.

It seems that the bull run will not occur in a short time, this year there is a possibility that only the market recovery, prices can still come back down and market conditions have not signaled an increase will occur, for now it is better to be patient and continue to monitor the market

Please, don't listen/watch too many chart 'experts' try to think and make decisions by your own. You just don't know if any of these people called 'experts' are a paid shillers to that exact asset.

From the way the market s now, there has not been any sign of the expected bull run so I will say all the predictions of the next bull run are based on assumption.

The next wave you are talking about will come, but I don’t think that they will just let us enter it, because today it may seem very difficult, as you see that now more and more investors are already leaving the market.

As you already mentioned, the next bull run will start with launch of these events. Unfortunately they are getting postponed every month further and further and I hope the deadline would be the middle of April. Otherwise it would be pretty strange for all the crypto participants.

I just hope that bullish can happen soon because it's been too long the condition of cryptocurrency slumped in 2018, this year should be the rise of cryptocurrency many predict this.

First hearing the word Bullrun, my mind immediately asked when it would happen again, because our predictions would all occur in late 2018 and early 2019 but in reality it wasn't. But I began to think about the Cryptocurrency philosophy that was very unexpected because more and more new investors and new project projects were causing market instability. I'm sure Crypto prepared a sweet surprise in the future.

I don't think we can see any bull run in this year. We may see 4-5K level for Bitcoin but it doesn't enough for a new bull run. But our only chance to wait for it.

There will be no NEXt EXACT BULL RUN in this community.
THere will be a mass adoption and you will nevere tell it is the bull moving.
as people will make the marathon for themselves.
I do believe that will happen not now but very soonQ

I also do not expect too much because I feel that to restore market prices is not easy so maybe this year Bullrun is difficult to materialize.
but what I do know is that crypto is sometimes surprising so I'm ready for that surprise.

The 2017 bullrun was from a mixture of the ICO craze, speculation, and the following FOMO. The next run will most likely be from adoption, use cases, and STOs. A lot of blockchain projects have a long ways to go before another run. Software development takes time, especially technology that's only been out for so long.

Evereyone look forward to bull run in 2019 but that hasn't happened yet. We'll see what happens after the ETF.

if you expect too much later you will be disappointed if the reality is not what you want.
we better wait and always try our best so that in the future there will be beauty. Bullrun is unpredictable when it will happen, but maybe if the market has risen little by little and continues to increase, there is a possibility that Bullrun will happen, hopefully it will happen this year or next year.

we never know about it, but if what you say its true this years is best time to hold right, and im sure when for long term bitcoin always will giving profit, just know when right time to buy and sell

there is no sign from fundamental or even from technical analisys.personally this bull run still long to waited.and will not coming in near future.we have to more patience to face current condition.

The next bullrun will come in an unexpected time. Even with the current approval of ETF and bakkt we should still be patient on eating and holding our stocks.

I don't listen anymore to any selfmade experts. The predictions for end 2018 were all wrong. In my opinion we will see upward movements in next year with the third bitcoin halving in May 2020.

For me, i think this is wrong, we can ofcourse expect profit in 2019 because crypto currency is not all about bitcoin.
In this month, apollo token has brought about over 160% increase
in this month, gmb has fetched over 75$ worth of token
in this same month, crv has fetched 75$ (albeit an airdrop token)

if you are an airdrop or bounty participants, 2019 is the year of reaping profits of the tokens you own in 2018

I think that in 2019 we will not see the Bullrun , but in 2-3 years I hope that we will become very rich

Too early to assess and conclude but if ever that this year won't bring that bull to strongly run, time still will come and bring good benefits for those who's willing to wait, crypto market with its volatility will take a long time before things will be assess and analyze accordingly, as of now many factors are needed to consider before making any conclusions,.

you are right, I think to bring the bull market will take a long time. maybe this year will not be a bull coming, but everyone will stay here and hope the growth will come even though it's not too big.

I have to agree with you my friend. There is so many positive FA about crypto flying around but the market won't even budge. The BTC halving may just be the kickstart for the next bull run

The next Bull run is unpredictable as it stands now but we are all believing that BTC halving will kick start the Bullrun eventually 

Very minor chances for 2019 to see a bull run because let's be honest even 2018 was good in prices. Personally I see this year a steady one with bear market coming to end wich creates the opportunity for us to buy cheap altcoins and bitcoin. No one gets rich over night here , not now at least.

You sure? Year 2018 was only good during two months, January and February. All the other part of the year the market was slowly going down with slight marks of recovery.

I think we all try to believe that the market will rise again. But I am not a supporter of such a theory unfortunately. I do not see what the market can take off now. And that means this is a big problem. However, such a decline has already occurred and everything will probably return and there will be a small increase.

the market is difficult to rise and often the red market, not to be too hopeful that by 2019 no Bullrun is a good thing because if he hopes he is afraid of disappointment and despair. maybe next year Bullrun will get it because it might require a process, but believe me Crypto can still deliver results, although not as expected.

Well, in my owned prediction this year 2019 will be a good for cryto world, i mean bullrun we are expected and waited will be possible. Market will be better and everyone will be benefited for it especially to those patiently waited and continue work besides struggle strike us sometimes.

How do you come to this conclusion? Is there any reference please? Thanks

when was last halfing? do not think that bullrun depends on halfing. but i agree that bull will not come in 2019.

I fully agree that at the end of this year, there are still hopes for some kind of growth, but most likely we need to wait 1 - 2 years and then we can count on a good market growth. in any case, growth will be, the main thing is not to panic.

of course it depends
take a look at this chart ->

https://i.imgur.com/o7j4zdk.png (https://imgur.com/o7j4zdk)

statistics are here to show the past trends, but we can make some predictions on that
cause, after the halvings, there were some bull runs and massive dumps, now we are (i hope) at the bottom of the bear, and waiting for a new halving/bull run

If your predictions/speculations are anything to go by, then I think patience will be needed to hold not sell coins yet till then to make huge increase

I do not believe in bullrun for bitcoin because it has already squeezed all the juices. Bitcoin is very weak in front of new coins that are beginning to gain popularity. Yes indeed it is unknown when to start the bullrun but it will.

After the biggest bull run in December 2017, cryptocurrency market never stop loosing and arrived this unpleasant situation. Many altcoin has lost more than -%100 and everyone have lost their beliefs in crypto market. In last months the market getting stabilize but the prices can't raise and i think this stagnant situaitoin will continue in 2019..

Most likely you are right and we should not expect anything in 2019, even though Bakkt and Etf will be accepted!

We are all waiting for the golden bull. But the course continues to fall. So let's be realistic. There will be no bull. We live on. We continue to work actively.

So far, 2019 looks worse than 2018, besides rumors have appeared that the ETF has been canceled again and the price of bitcoin is much lower, I don’t think that this year will be more successful for cryptocurrencies.

I hope that the new cryptocurrency market will still start in March of this month. See what happens in the end. We have been waiting for cryptocurrency spring. Probably it will be the year 2019.

The next bull market will come only when the majority of Whales and large funds buy the necessary amount of bitcoins that they expect to buy. In any case, until the next halving of the reward, you shouldn’t expect Bitcoin to grow. I think this is a very real forecast for bitcoin now.

Most analysts believe that Bitcoin is entering oversold levels, and indicators used to detect trends all claim that Bitcoin is about to enter a short-term wait after a long period of devaluation.

We've been waiting for crypto prices to rise all of 2018, and I think we can also wait all of 2019. there are no reasons for the price increase, but crypto is very unpredictable.

Next trend is unknown and there are not concrete tools to detect the impulses that can be start lines for uptrend. I personally don't look for continuation for current downtrend so increasement in prices are more likely to happen. We are just writing here with speculation and guess the timing.

I do not care when or by what the next bull run will be triggered, as long as he really comes. I think that for many people here in the forum, the most important.

Honestly, I cannot even remember what triggered the bear market conditions and j expect this is the same thing that would happen to the bullrun, what we are expecting might not even be what would trigger the bullrun, it might just suddenly start on it's own one day for no reason.

This year may be successful for some new projects. There will probably not be a big bull run, but for other coins that will successfully complete the ICO and continue to work on their product, this year can be very successful.

Believing in something we don't know is actually difficult, Crypto struggles hard in nature, or has changed. 2018 leaves memories of the Bear market and now we hope that big hopes in 2019 will be better. I responded to everything calmly and followed the path patiently whatever would happen in the future, because from the start it was not easy and full of risks.

I think that the next bullrun will start in the middle of spring of this year. I think that in May the price of Bitcoin will be above 6000. I believe that cryptocurrency will be able to overcome the bear market.

Yes it is just like what happen last year 2018 that we expect to much that the high value was be stable or rise continues  but we are surprise on what happen next everyone of us was loss but still keep patient. This like I said don't expect to much again but we are hoping and wishing that have a bullrun this year to get back our lose last year.

A bull run can start at any time and it may not be related to Bakkt or anything else.
Just so may want the owners of large sums of money in the crypto market. And it seems to me that before there will be another bull run there will be very bad news for the crypto market.

It's been a long time patience mate, I don't know how long I can wait for that. But because of the hear warming support and dedications coming from long term holders like me, I am eager and braver to continue trusting bitcoin. Thinking about the next bull is not a litteral thing, instead I prefer reality to take over what has been predicted.

We can’t really know the exact date of the next bull run, and yeah there is no machine to detect that easily so we make a lot of speculation some are good and most are not. We should not forget to have patience and don’t be greedy just wait and something good will happen in the future.

But I'm not sure whether in 2019 there will be a price increase from Crypto because I feel that the more Crypto is known to many people, the more people expect prices to fall far before shrinking so prices will fall there so we can't again expect prices to return to high levels and many speculators are also frustrated by what they say.

The market will not recover quickly, but losing half a year in anticipation and inaction is extremely careless. Perhaps we should focus on new technology projects. The real running of the bull will not happen soon.

I also choose to follow all the paths that occur in the market, all of them hope that the increase will happen soon, but I hope that by 2019
it will be better than 2018, this is indeed a difficult time for all of us, hopefully the bear market can end

it is true that what is happening now is the effect of so much price increase that at that time everyone flocked to sell their coins and the effect was that the market continued to decline and in my opinion it would be very difficult for the market to recover because of the fall it's too deep and because some people have left crypto

so?) it is just growing. you can use picture of buggs banny and this chart will show how market grows with years. just new people enter in cryptocurrecy world. plus whales.

So this time will be a great time to buy bitcoin according to that picture. But you don't have to use all of your money and depends on bitcoin only because we don't know when the price can increase so you need to think about what will you need to do after you get that bitcoin. It is better to use the money you can afford so you can do many things with the rest of your money, and maybe you can find another business in your real life.

That makes a lot of sense since every bitcoin halving the price always surge up but would have been better if ETF and bakkt get approved before the next halving which I think will help the price a lot more than if the are not approved but all is well im sure cryptocurrency will find its way with or without ETF and bakkt

Year 2019 is the preparation stage ofr the bull run. it might start late this year but the big waves will come on 2020.
BAKKT, LIGHTNING and many things on development will help the community to rise and pump in the market.

I prefer the current bitcoin price, I don't really expect a bull run or anything.
Bitcoin that is stable with increases and decreases that are not profitable is the best bitcoin.

Still, the best time for cryptocurrency is the end of the year.. We passed this period in 2018, and nothing happened! Now hope for 2019.. everyone needs a break from cryptocurrency.. therefore, we expect a rapid growth in 2019 and more likely in 2020 will be a furious growth..

I hope 2019 is different and price will go up, it's a very hard year for all of us in 2018 but here we are, still standing and supporting crypto.
There is no stopping us and as long as we understand it's a normal price correction that has happened, the optimism will still remain. Bull run could not come early this year but never forget last 2017 that it only take less than 3 months to reach the ATH.

Yes ill think in this year of 2019 was better than to past year. I think in this year was be going started that we call a bull run but we don't know yet if this is true or not. Im just get this information in the other or people always talking about bull run.

More on like it will not going to happen for now. It will take some time to happen just like the 2017 ATH for cryptocurrency. At first it began to move slowly and as many investors seeing the potential of bitcoin market they are all in without hesitations investing in bitcoin. Now, that bitcoin market is not good and still at the bottom it may take some time before we can feel a good rally for bitcoin market price to bull run.

yes I am also sure that the increase in altcoin is triggered by the increase in the price of bitcoin and positive news about it, but it's better not to focus too long on the long term let's use it with short-term profits, if not from now on when will we profit? so don't just rely on the long term.

I agree with you. We'd better leave our hopes and not start hoping for smth else. Let's just work and see what's next! The more  hopes you have about the market, the more troubles you'll get from it

Perhaps you are right, but you can’t bet big bets and hope that you will have great results. You should always be safe and don’t give as much money to the cryptocurrency market as you can afford.

The best advice for everyone is to invest wisely, cryptocurrency bullrun isn't 100 percent certain that 2019 is the year for bull run.
Follow the trend wisely, Invest on potential project and don't invest too much.
In one word "invest wisely"

In my opinion next bull run will occur in this year, because the whole 2018 was the bearish, and the green market must come in this 2019 year.

I agree with this 100%.
This year will be extremely stressful and the trend of people loosing faith in crypto that started in 2018 will only continue through this year. My greatest fear that overall trust of the community will drop which will cause great negative impact to BTC and the whole market. If the support drops, implementation and penetration of BTC to different sectors will drop and it will all cause overall drop. This will be extremely challenging year, a turning point for us all.

I agree with you and I also believe that the market before you show some movement up will fall at least another 40 percent.

I agree. We can see the change every end of the year and hopefully there will be a progress when year ends again and for the incoming year. We have to leave the market for a while and let go the stress. All we have now is investment for the future, wait till it gain good return.

well guys if you have no hope than what are you doing here? be realistic and go to work in mcdonalds. everyody here have hopes. i'll wait ext bull run. even if it takes few years.

People think that ETF or Bakkt will help us. No, they will not!
Do you want stable market like stock market? Okay, then approve ETF and no moon will come.  ::)

Noone can be sure what we must expect from 2019 as after insutional money come to market everything can be changed can have bull and afther market would be stabilize. 

I think the bull run will start somewhere in the second half of 2019 and I really hope that it will last as long as possible.
In terms of its variability, the cryptocurrency market is cyclically developing, with some very serious ups and falling to the bottom.
Over time, the situation will stabilize, but bull runs will occasionally take place.

I am accumulating projects that I think will lead the pack in the next bull run. I have decided to take a portion of money and convert it to long term holdings.

Update the ETF got cancelled and bakkt got delayed but it didn't affect the price i guess there are no more panic sellers around. This could be a sign of a bottom even when the news about bitcoin ETF got cancelled it didn't really trigger any bear move. Cause people think bitcoin doesn't need ETF's and will still grow even without it but for me, an ETF could make the progress of bitcoin a lot faster cause institutional investors can conveniently buy bitcoin.

Better to wait than expecting something uncertain.
This year could have new altcoins, prices, scams, and issues to come.
Bull run could also happen as we all know 2019 is better than 2018.
Somehow it is  also good to expect in order to have hope and visualize the future.

don't expect too much, think about the risks and all the possibilities that can occur, look for as much information as you can but don't let the opinions of others influence your decisions or expectations too much.
high expectations without thinking of the risks involved will only lead me to "disappointment"

I think that a bull run can happen in the second half or closer to the end of the year.
This event is eagerly awaited by all market players.
Given the fact that the cryptocurrency market is beginning to slowly recover, it is obvious that every day we are moving towards a bull run.

We can’t afford to dump more the market and maybe that’s why it don’t move deeper during the cancellation. Its hard to say when is the next bull run because the market is not doing much today but hopefully in the future when the ETF finally approved, it can be a good start for the market.

Hope for future growth no one bothers. I would also very much like to see a strong growth in the crypto market. However, to be honest, there is no reason for growth. It remains to wait for the actual events that can influence the growth of the market.

The next bull run will be on 2020 and I should say that this bull run should not to be predicted because it will make more expectations to become disappointments. We should decide what we want to do on this kind of market.

Your right, there nothing happen in prices this january and its getting worst. We should not expect too much this year theres a big possibility it retain in deep so lets just observed bitcion if it will really trigger this year for the bullrun.

I really don't think we will be having anymore bullruns, this year I'm predicting that there will be more businesses built on crypto to form its own economy.

I do not expect much that in 2019 this will be better than 2018 because in fact, earlier this year the crypto market condition is still not good even it tends to be worse than in 2018 despite market conditions like this I will try to stay and be patient hopefully, in the future get the benefits of crypto back like 2017.

In the first place, we shouldn't expect anything in this kind of business. We should always be prepared and aware and most of all be patience at any cost. Bull run will happen at any moment the only problem was We don't know when will it be happen.  Just always wait then continuous learning while holding our coins.

I believe the next bull run is here, but definately might not be so high the way we have it in 2017, the bull run of 2019 will be a steady and a realistice rise in BTC which will hav an effect on Altcoin that are viable with a product in the global world, 2020 Bitcoin halving  will only trigger 2020 bull run, now is the best time to keep investing.

I believe that it will ever begin. But I do not know what will cause the next wave of growth of the cryptocurrency market. I want it to start faster.

it can only begin in a year. now this is definitely not going to happen because there is nothing that can change the trend

All that you say is correct, only we must understand that people have become smarter and began to study cryptocurrency and will not buy everything in 2017-2018

The bullrun will surely come but no one knows exactly when that will be. What I can't guarantee is that the bullrun will be as high as the one we experienced in 2017. I will advice you trade wisely.

Probably higher, there was a heavy correction and it's just right to once again witness a new ATH.
Everyone can make their own prediction, there are people who don't trust the market now and it's normal.

But for me, I will remain optimistic and I will continue to believe that 1 btc is worth more than $20,000.

It's gonna be different in the long run, bitcoin always bounce back though we don't know when but it's better not to expect
as surprise happens when people are not expecting.

if we understand when the bullrun time happens, surely we have already begun to invest in the cheap price coins. and be patient waiting for that time, but we also don't know whether it will be bullish or even bearish

I personally doesn't hoping for significant increase this year, what i always wish is that this year is the year where all the loss during 2018 can be closed.
So everyone who already so much patient able to fell the warmth of crypto.

The next bull run, how much I desire it to happen, but I don't know when. The last one I witnessed was towards the end of 2017. Can another one happen this year? I pray so, I am very optimistic about this and if it does it will lift the wearied spirit of crypto faithfuls.

The fair price of bitcoin is much higher than it is now. It's just gonna take longer than we all thought. For example, analysts at JP Morgan, the largest investment Bank, predict bitcoin to fall below $ 1,260 and only then will be the uptrend.

By looking the market condition that keep on changing at any moment, I think it's not so wise to keep waiting on a bull run. It would be better if we makes this condition even more useful, for example is doing trading, using the fluctuation to gain even small profit for each trade would be better than we don't get any. So let start trading and makes the market moves.

In my opinion, one should not expect something grandiose from this year and from 2020 too. However, 2021 may be historical for Btc, since the price increase will be exponential in relation to even 2017. But this is just my point of view, which incidentally shared by quite a few high-level analysts.

the important thing is not excessive and natural because everyone must expect the best.
everyone is free to predict about the market or increase in the future. each prediction is not necessarily correct, so don't overestimate people's predictions.

Seeing market conditions that are still often red, many predict that Bullrun will not occur this year, maybe it will only rise a few percent, because the market is still difficult to move. Hopefully this year the market can improve so we can profit, hopefully it will happen sooner.

But for the truth, this year will be better than 2018 because if you analyze the market, every coin can show good progress to increase although bitcoin cannot increase higher. I think it's enough for us to make a profit from the altcoin because it means, we can add more bitcoin to our wallet while we are waiting for the next rally of bitcoin price that will happen soon. We need to keep survive if we want to see the next bull market and although we don't know the time, it's good for us to collect more bitcoin as I said before.

I agree! One of character/trait that a wise trader to possess is the adaption of changes in market, the ability to move in uncertainty with deep decision making. If you keep waiting for the bull to run then you might just lost your journey preparing what to do when market booms again. Market moves, don't let your guard down just because of holding onto something that is not sure to happen.

Lets just hope that it would come in the future. Honestly, I do not recognise any signs of a bullish market yet and I am still not sure, if any bull run will show up this year. I can only hope and hold my coins till that moment.

the same thoughts with me so maybe when halving that prices will rise sharply and we have passed 2 stages a year after their halving has risen sharply, I am just waiting for halving in 2020 we will see it

I agree with you on this but what effect will halving have on the bull run. There have been many stories of what could trigger the bull run but none has made it happen yet I just hope the halving actually does the magic.
