Hi guys,
The bitcoin block reward halving is next year in may.
Do you think this would lead us to a new bull run these year?
What are you're thoughts

I have a strong feeling that it will. My basis is on what happened  last 2016 and the best effect took lately by 2017 which we all know that it's the greatest bull run that we ever had.

The bear's market is still on us and we don't know on how long it will stay. I'm not expecting that this year will end its bear market but it's likely more to happen by 2020-2021.

I do, just try to take any chart after bitcoin halving in the past year as an example about how it works, if you are seeing the fact and there will be a gradual increase from a year after it. Ether will get another block reduce this month and the price has started to growth again.

so we need to wait one more year to bring back the bull run to the cryptocurrencies?
But it need to bring before the next reward halving becauae we are already in the market is bleeding in red I am most of the investors looking to quit their investment in cryptocurrencies because of too low prices so we need something soon to make some changes.

If we're going to look at the last bitcoin block halving, I would say yes, it really started the bull run that ended in 2017. As far as I can remember it took four months before we can finally see the price really going up.

So if history repeats itself, the bull run that we all wanted to see is 2020-2021. And the price could be above our last all-time-high. I'm not saying it could happen because I don't have the crystal ball, but I'm positive that the halving in 2020 will bring some positive things in the market.

I am expecting nothing good for 2019. It will likely to be come at 2020. Bitcoin price will remain stable at $3k lower and $4k/$5k at maximum and alt will also follow the same. It's more likely to be a long bearish market which might end at the end of this year or later this year.

In accordance with the market chart, we will learn about the movements that have taken place so that this year there will be no bulls but the following year it will provide a better improvement.

We can only see graphic movements and study history every year as a lesson to be able to see in the future, with hopes that there will be bulls this year and next year so that this will get us out of the red market. There is hope that there will be good news this year so that it supports the green market.

The bull run starts 1 year before the halving so we still have 2 more months of sideways / downwards trading before the massive pump begins. You should start accumulating now before you miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime

Now there is a forecast that the market will fall even lower, and this will take 3-4 months in time, in the future we hope for growth, only now it is obvious to everyone that he will be accompanied by frequent corrections.

maybe the increase will happen, but we don't expect too much because we know that market conditions move beyond what we have expected. Keep always having a mature plan to still be able to stabilize your funds before the increase actually comes.

The falling market is coming to an end and we are going to go to the sideway for a long time, at least 1 year to create discouragement for investors. I also think that the market will only go up in 2020 or longer. 2019 will certainly be like 2018 or worse

the possibility of a bull run this year, most probably in the first quarter is a high one. we won't see the ATH for a long time though but it will be a nice rise. and since the price is extremely low right now, any rise to previous values will be a very big one. for example to reach the previous bottom at $6k we will have a 100% rise and that is great.

then the next year's halving will be the icing on the cake and will help the price shoot to the ATH and beyond that will happen next. so in 2 years from now we will probably be seeing $100k at least.

nice analysis because usually history repeat itself,, and 2020-2021 is the most reasonable years for the bull,,
but in this year i believe bitcoin will touch about 10K USD my friend
2017 was the best bull in crypto world until now,, but 100% i believe the next bull will break the past  ;)

This is too early to predict such events that haven't any effect in our current situation of the market.
We all know that halving will change the course of the market eventually and there's no need to be in a hurry.
What we should focus on our interest is how deep would Bitcoin go in this bearish market along the year ends.

Hard to know yet but it is possible since we are waiting for the bull run. But don’t make expectation yet because we might see another dump that can actually change the situation to the worst scenario. Bull market can happen this year up to next year, we have more time to get more coins. 

but if my prediction for this year will not experience a decline in the market because from now on there are already signs of market bulls going to run this year or next year

I think we will see another bull run, but it's hard to predict when it will come. I also suspect that it will happen next year at the latest, but whether it will really happen that way is not easy to say in advance. But I'd still use this time to buy some cheap coins and I don't think you do much wrong with that.  ;)

Currently I believe that we will see a bull run around the halving time, however, it is a bit of a question: How long will it last? And where will be the bottom before the run starts?
It could very well be that BTC drops to $1000 in the next 12 months and then the bull run brings us barely to the current prices around $3-4k...

Timing the next bull run is the big question that nobody really knows the answer.  When the bull run starts, price action will make it clear.

i think the reward wont have enough effect to the market when the price has already low, a few reward can not easily change it, however i believe there will be more bull runs in this year but i guess it wont last for long because there are not much whales investing in Bitcoin anymore.

If we judge how it happened in the past, then 1 year before the cut of the reward for bitcoin mining, its price began to rise. Therefore, in may 2019, we may see the beginning of the rise in the price of bitcoin, but the main growth of its price will be in 2010-21 years.

There are no signs for the bull run at this time, 2019 is just starting and still long. Crypto's journey is indeed full of mystery and can only monitor, hoping that the next few months will start to improve and get a bull next year.

Yes, I hope this brings a very positive change about rising market prices. Bull Run will certainly be expected this year because throughout 2018 the market is in a declining condition. And we hope that this year the crypto market will slowly grow so that this will give investors confidence.

I have a feeling if they price of BTC do not go lower than $3k come May, the opportunity to buy BTC cheap again has been lost for the next 4 years, because this is going to kick start a new bull run, which will likely be stronger than any we have seen in previous years.

We will see a recovery in the market this year around and hopefully the market will drive to an all time high by 2021. Usually in the past the market behaves like that during the time of halving and hopefully we will see the same this time around too. There will be other factors too driving the market but we will see the changes this year and then we will have an idea on how the market moves.

Probably It will. But not instantly. Block halving is one of the things that might trigger a bull run but more important than the block halving is the market cycle. Crypto markets move with cycles and every new bear cycle will last longer than the older one. This will go like this till there is no money left to be made.

I think we'll see a new bull run this year. Maybe not up to 2017 heights, but I would say more than double current prices is certainly achievable. For huge rises we probably need institutional investment, which is probably tied to SEC and ETF.

yeah, hopefully it can bring us to the upswing, to be honest I'm starting to feel pessimistic if the market continues to decline like now and there is no sign of goodness that can help us to increase prices and that also makes many investors begin to experience doubts.

I think yes but it will not get as powerful pumping as we expected. Our market is now in a slow recovery state and it will not bring too much faith to us.
We are at a difficult time and we need to be more patient to wait for a great market. Soon give up just say that you are an impatient and easily defeated person.

Doubts could be normal to everyone, we felt it cause we care of our future. It is pretty obvious that more people will felt that the same but they tried to control such feelings cause it will only affect their focus and being optimistic. Not only to give hope for us but I believe there will be a time for bull run.

I read a lot and followed bitcoin traders until now, I see some tweets from them saying that in 2019 the bearish will disappear soon and it's time for me to wait for the right time to buy, so I'm just waiting for it now

Let's hope for the best  that at least by the end of this year we'll  see $10,000 soonest. 2017 was really the best crypto years but it's already done, we can expect for more with the upcoming years.

Those years will be greater than the 2017 bull run and I'm sure of it. I have faith in cryptocurrency and this upcoming bull runs will be incomparable to the past one. Just keep your faith to crypto's and we're going to accelerate at the same time.

Of course I think it will have a big effect. we know the effect of halving beforehand. people will be enthusiastic about returning to buy bitcoin because of rewards or because they believe after that prices will rise. I'm sure this will bring marketcaps and prices up high..

We have to wait and see how long it will take time to recover the prices of bitcoin, but surely the price of bitcoin will increase in the market. We don't know how long it will take time to recover the prices but even we are also waiting for it to recover.

Yes, there's we can do than wait patiently because mansion are not build in a day. However, it will take market Q3 before will could experience bullrun market.
Bitcampaign, with is current market trending waiting for the right time to buy is definitely not the right decision cause seize every moment will be better because the market can make sudden pump in price which you could earn some quick $$ and you'll miss the opportunity cause you don't seized every trend posed by the market.

Don't now why you have to say it over and over, but indeed recover is what most of us here are waiting, we do believe that bitcoin will bounce and returned the favor to its true investors, we just don't know yet when that will happen maybe another year or couple of it, but as long as you are a real investor you will be able to wait and hold till the bull happen to be stronger again.

If we see based bitcoin halving perspective, I think there's a strong reason for the price will going up again. And we already see the price's history of bitcoin since halving on 2012 (bull on 2013),  2016 (bull on 2017). So I have a faith it will happen on 2021. Due bitcoin reward are reduce and it will make it rare so the price will jumping.

Next year halving is pivotal to the next bull run. I dont expect the price to respond after the halving but before. It might not hit the height of bullish run we expect but will have significant surge. I believe that's why there is so much manipulation to reach bottom price as early as possible, probably before July, for the whales to have enough in there coffers or wallets.

halving does not mean the price will increase instantly like what happen last year, yes the price increase and reach the ATH but it is temporary and in the end the market investors will dictate the movement.

In previous halfing a whole market started grow. But in this we can see another huge things whoch can affect to price growing. Just in 2 month Fidelity going to launch platform for custody and trading crypto. They have 7.2 trillions usd in their client assets. This will be a massive news for crypto world and new huge money coming in crypto  :)

Maybe one strategy is to be able to attract investors so that block reduction can have a positive impact. Many investors are starting to hesitate but this can test it. Maintaining is indeed a hard thing and it must be done for good in the future, hope there is a bull run this year and culminating in the next year.

it might happen because everyone is waiting for it.
maybe buying bitcoin right now is the right time because this sounds very legit.

We are here to know that there are several large investors who are joining. but only a few people influence the market. so we don't need investors we only need real blockchain users (bitcoin). like trading, money transfer uses bitcoin / altcoin. maybe that's my opinion ;)

I stated that I expect a response not an instant rise.

Who are those you describe as bitcoin market investors?

Always, after each halving, Bitcoin's price went up. I think that after that which will happen next year, we will see new ATH again.
However, I hope that we will see a new bull run earlier.

Yes, we certainly hope this will be a good start. In 201-2020, of course, Crypto fans have high hopes that the market can rise again. And hopefully, real investors can return to the market to invest and make market volume increase again.

Am more on wanting this whole bearish market to really came down first and then we see the next roadmap Market has been down a very long time and there is almost no chance for survival

I am sure all of us waiting for the bull market to comes again. We can continue to survive, and I think this time, we could make a profit but don't expect to make a big profit because the time did not come. Soon, the market will recover, and if that is not happening in this year, then I guess that it will happen in the next year. So we still have to be patient and keep trying to make any profit as we can.

It is subject for speculations only. There's no definite answer whether we will have bull run this year and the coming years. But of course, everyone wants to have a bull run already. We've been in the bearish market for so long. But for the moment, find your options how to take advantage of this bearish market.

Of course that is a big hope for people that this year there could be a change in the cryptocurrency market. especially when the current market is experiencing a deep decline and does not stop continuing to decline

Well, I am personally hoping so and I guess the whole Bitcoin and cryptocurrency currency would be agreeing with me even those who are already getting pessimistic with this whole thing. We are all looking for that bull run but it is continually evading us so far maybe because there is no big volume of demand right now for Bitcoin and institutional money is not yet coming in a big way...without this big volume the market would always be bearish. Hope that something will be coming out soon that can be the trigger for some good movement upwards.

 Certainly many hope this year will have good development, all will return to crypto and make improvements that make the market green. Trust in crypto must be increased to be able to attract investors so that the decline can be prevented. With the good news may be about the positive ETF and SEC decisions, it can make investors return.

Of course not. Yes, it does make supply of btc less and less and what does it contribute? We need infastructures dedicated to cryptocurrencies and that is what will trigger a bull run automatically. 2019 is not that year so another year will be wasted for making profits.

Everyone understands this. If so, the big players will try to make money on it. Thus, one should not expect a large growth for a long time.

Yes, of course, it is much more accurate to develop the infrastructure of the cryptoindustry. It is not as intense as we would like.

It has a being a bear market in 2018 and hopes get better as the years passes so this year it has to be much better than last year. Also this will give a new ray of hope for people who had being staying out considering that it is a bubble and avoiding the investment in crypto markets.

i dont wait a bull run in 2019.
there is no promising news for markets.
maybe in 2020 or later market will come 500B again.

No one knows if the bulls enter the market or not. We just need to hope and to wait for the better. Try to trade when the cryptocurrencies are declining. It also works for many people.

most likely there will be a bull run in that year because I see good news on bitcoin in 2020 there will be a halving day so it seems that it will make the price of bitcoin expensive because the total supply will be less and it will be more difficult to get bitcoin.

History has shown that the HODLers were right and the speculators were wrong (I mean after long bear market periods). I think that this story will be repeated, and it is the long-term investors that will earn the most in 2019 and 2020. Trading in bear market is for gamblers.

Still a wild guess but we don't need to loss our hope nor to be discourage of not seeing it again. We are still in 1st quarter and it never seems to be good for now, prices are still stack up. I know its hard to understand the situation but the reality is there, we need to accept it.
I believe this technology will be grateful and it gives importance to us, but we need to have this things for making faith stronger.

Well, then it would be more logical to assume that we will see a bullish run in 2020, and this year will be calm, maybe with minor fluctuations or even a new bottom

You were too early to say everything besides people are only speculating if the market would continue to become bearish this year. Most of the speculators now are hoping that the halving in 2020 will fix and starts the bull run. If Q1 may not give the bullish market then we will wait for Q2 and so on.

you check the past to predict the future…
if we check  the past , 1 year before halving , price will raise slowly

Yes, I think the anticipation of the halving will likely give us a rise in the price of Bitcoin and the whole crypto market overall. So now 1,800 BTC are mined everyday. Since mining costs are so high, there is a good chance many of these are being sold. At the current price that is ~$6,210,000   of new BTC per day that must be absorbed in the market. So when we go down to 900 BTC/day that should have a nice impact on the supply/demand curve. Of course they crypto market is a bit more mature, so it is hard to predict how much or fast it will rise. Still the cryto asset class is relatively small compared to traditional markets, so any drip of institutional money should help in a slow rise. I would dollar cost average in over the next few months, but would like to be all in by May of this year.

Mass adoption is happening right now, does not matter that the price is dropping.
The new bull run we may see, but I doubt about the new highs this year, maybe 2020.

I think that at this time a big upward movement of the market will begin. It seems to me that the cryptocurrency market has already experienced a long period of decline. After that there will be growth.

I don't think that with the bitcoin block prize next year it will have a big increase this year, but I hope the market can grow soon and the bullrun will soon arrive in the near future, because we have been waiting for a big growth in the market soon.

I understand people waiting and expecting bitcoin bull run these year, then again I advice do not lost hope time can tell for the next bull run, in my own prediction for the unpredictable volatile currency half year of these will increase hgeir price but not it's rea;lly called as bull run maybe reach their value halp or more than half from the last ATH in year 2017.

there will be no a direct pump after halving but this should be a long term halving. We must take the chart of bitcoin after halving in 2016 as the main example. It may need a year after halving to start another bullish trend again for sure.

While that even is more than a year from now before it happens, try to look for other opportunities instead of just waiting for the bull run because its not a guarantee that halving will trigger the bull run. We can't rely on history repeats it self. Look at what happen last December, everyone is waiting for a bull run but nothing happened.

Maybe after halving, the price can raise faster than before halving because the rewards for the miner is reduce and the price needs to adjust to the new price. The bull run will comes and we only need to wait for a while and we can prepare to join with the bull run by buying more and more bitcoin so we can sell bitcoin in the high price.

It should be YES, because Bitcoin halving makes Bitcoin harder to mine it. Harder to mine can make the price of Bitcoin more expensive.
But it needs takes a time to make the market bull run again, we need also much good news to make it more possible...

Next bull run can start any day on any good news or factors. The halving is almost one and half years away anyway and there should be another bull run near its time.

very agree with you. we already watch all the history on few years before. so it's depend on us now.
just be an audience or stock the coin as much we can. 2021 will be a huge momentum for bitcoin

I don't think about Bitcoin block, and I think everyone here must expect the bull run to come soon, hopefully this will happen in 2019.

I think bullrun must starts very soon. Fidelity going to launch platform for insitutional investors in March this year:

https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2019/01/fidelity-with-7-2-trillion-in-aum-reportedly-launching-crypto-custody-in-march/

When trillions new money will come in crypto - this will be huge start for new AHT  ::)

It is truth that bull run should be expected any moment from next year and this year should be seeing as a recovering face. I think we are to buy this year and makes profits from our purchasing next year.  The market is in there needs of funds as it at the state of oversold area.  Bitcoin is not going to do too well this year but next year we are going to experience strong bullish that will make bitcoin mooning again.  The halving maybe the reason for the next bull run and that is may 2020.

This year is the expectation of all but incase if not happen we will wait next year for the bull run. 2020 the price of the bitcoin and most of the coins it will increase the value of it. Bull run will start  if the investor become united.

This is the feeling of everybody, we feel that something good will come to the market because of the last fall that we met. And it's all about on how big the downfall was so this uprising would lead us to think that something is about to be cooked for it.

Yes, the same mindset that we have.

There's always a year for the recovery and we're all expecting that. If this year fails to give our expectation, we're good to adjust for another year even for a two or three.

practically nothing changes. Positive forecasts for the near future are heard and if they do not come true this year, then of course everyone hopes that these forecasts will come true next year. And this situation will continue Year after year. I think that there should be specific prerequisites for the stabilization of the cryptocurrency market, but today I see only the outflow of capital from the cryptocurrency market.

The halving can help to make the price increase again because after the halving the miners will have less coins to sell in exchanges and this reduced supply will push the price higher, but it is not an instantaneous process, it will take some months for the lower supply to be felt and I doubt the halving by itself can create a bull run, the last bull run was caused by the activation of segwit something the developers have been looking for quite some time.

I think that growth will begin at the end of 2019. The peak of the growth wave will occur in 2020. I hope that I will not miss this chance of earning.

on the one hand, i hope for a new bull run in 2020, but day by day i find it harder to really believe in it. nevertheless, i have not quite lost the hope and wish me that bitcoins block halving bring the redemption of the bear market.

Many big expectation that is created by the investors and we cannot blame them from expecting too much but I think its hard to see bull run this year because of too some reason. But I'm confident to see bitcoin to bounce higher from its bottom and it will happen in the last 2 quarter of 2019, next year trend is still not guaranteed for that so make expectation that is suitable to your goal.

We still see a red market, so for this bull run, the good news about crypto is still not yet available. But with great hope, there will be bulls at the end of this year and towards 2020, if that doesn't happen, we can only wait and wait.

it seems we really have to wait until the end of the year or early next year to be able to see the bull again. markets that have no good news, they look silent not much trading activity. it will be very difficult to expect a bull.

Would you stop for a while looking for bullrun?can you give us a break and be contented for what we are having?the market is stable even we call this dipping,and still theres a small way of profiteering so why bother to ask for more when its impossible to happen?Just seek for good altcoins and thats enough for profiteering

Yes that's what will happen, if all of those predictions and forecasts for this year won't come true. We still have some other years to pass on to make it believe that it will happen whether it happens or not, there will be the right time for its execution.

No one knows if it will be at the end of this year or mid year or by next year. What we have to do is just be prepare for whatever the market is bringing us and it's good to remain optimistic despite of bad market days.

more precisely 1 year after halving, but if you don't mind you can see my thread here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5043315.0)

I believe a little it will start at the end of 2019 and I don't want to force everyone to believe what I believe, before and after halving the value of bitcoin will gradually rise as well as the bear market will end at the end of this year

Unless adoptions happen from big societies and businesses we will not be assured that bull run will happen too soon, we have to move according to our
understanding and not to expect too much, things will happen when time comes for it, best to deal with the current market and find your place to generate earnings, short term can still give you small percentage of profits.

While waiting, do your best to accumulate and invest more whenever you have chances to do so.

Well i believe halving will push the price abit but not immediately on the day it halve
Maybe just a little bit

However, the bull run is not trigger easily just with halving because people doesn't care if the reward is halve or not when the demand doesn't increase
Hence, institutions play is important here because they hold the most cash and could push the market easily

of course, this market requires investors with large funds to bring in bulls coming. when there is only division of assets I think that is not the reason for the market's ability to not increase. what is needed now is market effectiveness in transactions. if no one makes a transaction, it can be bad.

All talk about that and just becouse of halving but ETF and etc but we all were doing this during 2018 but we know what happened then so hope this time all will be right and we would finaly see that good days and hope see somthing strong anf stabile stabile price like we have now in bear market hope we see somthing more than 10k.

The bull run will happen, and maybe even earlier than we all think about it. Simply do not lose your hope. The other thing that you must not do is to sell your cryptocurrencies.

May of next year? If that's the case, i could say that the bull run may happen on the fourth quarter of this year or maybe first quarter of 2020. Most of us are expecting a bull run this year but I should advise you guys that do not expect too much this year because the bears are still around despite those postive news we heard which don't take too much effect. I am honestly expecting a bull run this year but I chose to trade actively instead of waiting.

I'm so tired of waiting. The capital in my hand melted to a great extent. I've won beautiful profits before. But now he is weary of me. In March, the market may begin to rise.

I do feel you and I think most of the crypto holders lost some profits in 2018 and up until now we expect some bounce back. This is somehow a test of faith which it measures our capabilities to face this kind of situation.

2020 has a lot of predictions that will bring us fortune,but I don’t wanna hold on this instead i will continue holding my cryptos

And besides i am ready for the next bullrun,what i stopped doing is daily trading because of too many risk to consider

Looking forward in future for sure the growth will come,wether late or in time but 2020 is enough time to start waiting

surely, if you still want to get a big profit, don't ever sell your coins this year until the coming year. because I'm sure this year or the coming year the market will definitely return a bull run

When it comes to making predictions, I trust Charlie Lee a lot because he warned us at the top of the bull market in 2017 and not just he warned us, he was also smart enough to dump his own stash. In 2017 Charlie said LTC's real value is around $20-30 and now we are at those levels.

Now Charlie says another thing:

https://i.redd.it/le8u8ivj1je21.jpg

He says bitcoin will start another bull run 3 years and will go above the current all time high which is $20k.

Better make preparations guys. This is your chance to get rich.

I think it could well have a big positive effect on price.

For now though it is all about gaining impetus to pull out of the year-long bear cycle. I think this will happen in 2019, probably with BTC leading the way, but there's also a chance that the ETH upgrade could trigger an increase in whole market cap, especially as so many coins trade vs ETH.

People are just waiting now for the rise and will happen in coming time for sure. Also it was very well known that it is a risky market but when rise was happening everybody thought it will remain same and never will fall but this is not how it happens. So stay invested and have patience. '

All are waiting for bull run but it is taking its own time, their are lot of factors which are guiding that this year after 3rd quarter their should be starting of the bull run, hope is always good.

Halving the reward for finding a block is one of the most basic reasons why bitcoin will definitely have to rise in price again. And based on the experience of previous years, the rise in the price of bitcoin may begin long before the onset of this event. I think that will be so. We just have to wait a little bit.

I don't think that 2017 bull run would be the last bull run ever, but I think that for the first time ever, the next bull run will not lead to a new ATH, and general traders will be pessimistic.
Still, I think we will see BTC at prices above $3500 in the future so I'm happy to buy some.

maybe the bull will happen again, but for the near future I don't think there will be a bull. but after seeing this falling market movement, there is a big expectation that the market will grow again, maybe slowly, the market will start again.

I'm also curious. Each time the prize for finding a block falls by half, the price for BTC increases. This time it will probably be so, but probably not as hard as last year.

I believe that can have some positive effect on btc price, but if that will lead to a new bullrun I really don't think so, the problem is it's not stock market, cryptocurrency market is highly manipulated, it's merely for whales to decide when it's going to move up again and to what price would that be .

if my prediction this year to experience a bull run is still very difficult but if in the coming year it will most likely occur. the problem is to experience a bull run that takes a long time

we can't find out when the bull will come. All of us here only speculate about the arrival of bulls who have been hiding for a long time. It doesn't have to be a bull that comes this year, the slow growth of the market is also a good start, I guess, and a lot of people might wait

Slow growth and people appreciations to adopt the system will create a big link for the bull to show back, mot of us are waiting and still hoping that
things will be good again, the market conditions are opportunities for more new players to catch up, if more people appreciates and start to use and
buy this currency it will be enforced by supply and demands that's where the  bull will be awaken.

Any recovery in the price will be appreciated by everyone but I doubt about what you say, the next bull market will reach prices higher than the last one since bitcoin is in a critical point in its development, the developers are in the process of solving the issues we have with scaling and once they do that the last issue stopping the massive adoption of bitcoin will be removed and when you add that from now on the reward for each block will drop dramatically then the price cannot do anything but to go up in the long term.

well, this is only a predictions,,
so its can be wrong,, but i believe all people here want to see the bull as soon as possible
today, we can see the green on crypto market, hope this is the beginning from the bullish trend on crypto industry

It seems to me that the cryptocurrency market will begin to recover in mid-2019. It would be very cool, because everyone is waiting for this.

Maybe by this 2nd month of the year we'll see significant recovery and it will happen up to the end of the year *crossing fingers*. It's cool when we see a good pump for the market especially for bitcoin. It is what everyone wants because if bitcoin pumps, all necessary altcoins will also share the pump and will increase its price too.

I wouldn't bet everything on early 2019. We are already almost half in the second month and still BTC is rising up/dropping down (being manipulated) around the price of 3.500$.

If we see another rise as the 2017, it will propably be after the halving, but be a more slowly and steady. So, my bet is on early 2021.

If you study history then the bull will occur in 2021, that's a benchmark for lay people or beginners, I'm also a beginner who thinks like that. So this year is a process to get better and stronger so that next year it can provide a good and bull increase in the following year.

And just like that, Feb has been a good start for us specially in the last 24 hours as the price of majority of coins are picking up and pumping and it's good to see the market somewhat recover and going green again.

However, it's still a long way to go, maybe this is the start of a bull run, maybe not. My point is we should wait, eventually this bear market has to end and it could be in 2019-2020. So everyone should stick and not to be disappointed of this long bearish season.

so far what I'm waiting for is the bull run moment come, I can't ensure the bull coming in May, but bull run speculation will come this year , so we just wait until December this year

then, if there isn't a bull this year, what will you do? Will you sell all your assets and leave the crypto market? I do not think so. Whenever a bull will occur, we will find out immediately if it will happen this year.

it is impossible for me to sell and leave  crypto , because crypto is my world , I only speculate that the bull run will come this year, what is wrong with my words ?

I think that as long as we don't get any real news that matter for wider circle, we will not see any significant growth in 2019. The Bitcoin halving in 2020 is a thing that sounds promising. Let's see if it once again follows with a nice rise in price.

Currently the market behaves exactly like during the previous bear market. Everybody around think that something will go wrong, but I suppose it will be the same. And this similarity scares people much more than if it would be completely different.

I have afeeling that it will , but the bear s market is still on us and we do not know on how long it will stay

yes, i think after bitcoin Block reward halving in 2019 maybe bitcoin price are going up again, and maybe bearish trend in market are over in the end of this year

Yes, this February has a good start and this must be the part and start of the awaited recovery if not's the bull run. There's more to go and the market should swing a bit just for it become balance and that's what we need to wait for. Looking forward to the next month's, hoping that it would remain positive.

I have no doubt that the market will go up. And I think this will happen in the next few months. We must remain patient now.

Most likely the market will really go up in 2020. The fall cannot last very long. Large investors should return to crypto.

We are still in the month of April and bull run already knock and enter the market..it just means that halving doesn't affect the price of bitcoin. Well, we just do not know because as you've said the sched of halving is on May. If that will be the truth then we'll gonna expect another bull run on next month.

no doubt I am also convinced that in the next year there will be a significant increase from the increase that occurred this year, big investors, I think there are now many returning to crypto, we can see a few moments ago the market experienced a hefty increase can be profitable if the price of investment is low.

It's hard to make a right prediction if we based on long term and without considering the present situation.
For me, it's easier to make a prediction of per year and I have my prediction this year which is BTC going to recover, on what price?
I don't know but I believe we will have a major improvement this year compared to the past year.

It's not easy to predict BTC for the coming year.
Especially seeing the current market, which from the beginning of April the crypto value looks good but is currently back down.
Following the market, the movement does provide an illustration that crypto still has a future and is optimistic that it will recover and a bull will occur.

I don't think that block reward halving will have an effect on the price of Bitcoin. The only thing that will trigger the price of Bitcoin will be the adoption, the more people will use Bitcoin, demand will increase since Bitcoin's supply is limited. But if we based on technical analysis based on Bitcoin halving, yes, we are pumping on halving but before that, we can see a huge dump.

Litecoin block halving is coming in August of this year so that will show how much effect it has on price. The market is in early stages of a bull run and has to climb a wall of worry for now.

I feel as though coins that are much quicker than bitcoin will prevail and cheaper transaction costs and hybrid currencies like pow and pos like deeponion since they have more redundancies.
Like resistances to 51 attacks etc.
Also coins with a low and capped total supply.
Just buy, hold and accumulate.

That is truth because we still have many wall of worry.  I will be comfortable if bitcoin can cross $10,000 and I can said then that the bearish trend has been putting in the past and the market is trying to chat another cause or directions.  However,  I strongly believe that this year 2019 and next year is going to be a bullish year.

There is no bull run and there will be none before end of year.



It had no influence at last having. Litecoin was between $2 and $5 before and after.

There is no need to make any predictions: it will not change the market situation and it will not bring anything positive to you personally. The best variant here is not to stop working.

I believe that the bull run might happen towards 2020,  I still don't see the bull run this year but who knows this is crypto world where anything can happen,  but there need to be a huge news about adoption of the crypto space for a real buil to happen

Our predictions may not have an influence on market conditions, but if you know if those who speak and make their predictions are big people, like McAfee, or people who have big companies, surely that will have an impact on the market. This market is built from predictions that are followed by many people and trusted by many people. when no one believes anything will happen.

Imho it will be similar to 2017, but even more insane. I remember before last bull run the wildest predictions on $300 bitcoin mark were that it could be 10k. Now wildest predictions are somewhere in 300k. And i don't think that it will be so obvious. I think that there will be insane parabolic breakout just because bitcoin always surprises us.

I think indeed there is high chance of bull run before halving but no one can say when will start and how much will grow the coins price, until then better hold what you have and wait for a higher profit.

opportunities, of course, are still very wide open to increase prices again and continue to grow higher and higher, yes it's true that nobody knows for sure because we all can only speculate for future price movements.
while the coins we hold are still below the price when buying hold is the right solution, but we can use it by doing short-term trading for every opportunity that occurs, instead of just waiting for it, nothing gets.

Lets hope for the better. As a matter of fact, I thought the last increase would be continuous, but the last laziness is forced to rethink. If we go below $5000, I do not know whether it will recover.

Exactly! This is also on my mind, just like what really happened on the bear market of 2014, we can expect more sideways on this year, more long wick on the candles. What I am interested is on 2020, price actions really important on that year. Bitcoin halving is really important event for Bitcoin.

I guess this bitcoin halving will make bitcoin break it's all time high.
The current price movement is really nice, it dump yes we can see that but we also see how it recovers.
Now bitcoin is poising for another run, it fall down below $5,000 but now again trading at $5,100, so I guess we are back on the right track.

keep quiet, the market is still going to continue to go up. We can all see it on the market. the movement of the price of some assets may indeed dropped, but it became common. due to market growth also occurs very slowly. but I guess it's still in the safe condition of the market right now. the trend will still look up in a couple of days ahead.

I think that we can already say that the bear market has ended, it could not last forever. We can clearly see how startups and projects aimed at cryptocurrency have stepped up their work, the number of traders on the crypto exchanges has increased, as recently announced by Changpeng Zhao, interest in crypto is growing. All this is evidence that bulls are returning to the market.

We've gone below 5k a couple of times already but everytime the price always recover to get back to 5k again. Which makes me think that we have a pretty strong support at this level and it's more likely to move up rather than spiral down again.

I believe we can find the next bull run for sure, market seems rebounding from last few weeks and this rally should not stop for next 1year. Seriously for the newbie investors this is the perfect time to put their fund on the Any too coins.
Halving effect will make some changes in the market like last time halving done for us.

What last ?  Last year ?  You are not alone meyt because were the same as you .  we also thought that the increase will continue because the year 2017 ended verry well but unfortunately after the end of the januar 2018  the price of cryptos went to sleep . this year was different because we see that cryptos are doing great  .the increase is expected to continue  .


What ?  Im sorry but i dont understand what you are trying to say  .  can you simplify these words for me ? Please .



It is . the price could always recover if its declining  and the price can always go down if its rising   . bear and bulls are cycle  .

Before they do that, they need to practice being patient as fluctuations can easily break them out, the timing for investment is really good as
the trend is simply switching between bear and bull, but aiming or taking it for long term goals is much prefer than trying to short and mistakenly
pick coins on it's bad momentum then loses your money.

I think that in mid-2019 there will likely be an increase and the possibility that the bear market will move and go even though it is still volatile between rising and falling but the strengthening of prices in the past few days seems like a positive signal.

It is good that such thoughts are in the community. After all, everyone understands that the higher the price, the more Bitcoins will want to buy. It has always been this way, and this time it will be the same, I hope.

That's the reason why there are some speculations that the bull run will happen in 2019. If so, then that's a big thing to feel excited about since we are all waiting for the best season for the crypto world. I believe that the bull run will happen soon so let's keep on investing.

Bitcoin is having 21 millions supply and that's why they can take an extreme rate and pick it as their prediction to the price of bitcoin. The latest prediction that the bitcoin will touch 50k in a few years after the next halving time. all time chart of bitcoin has told us a lot about that.

the sudden jump up of Bitcoin will creating a mind set like the end of bear market is not so long and there will be availability is possible for development is happening in this year it will be the way to get a bull run now.

I think it will be a huge development ready to take off not like the previous development it will be more than that and I think if it is not possible in this year the investment will be definitely reduced with the cryptocurrency feet and it will affect everything that to be developing in the future.

We don't know when the bull will come, we only predict that prices start to rise and give an increase even if only a few percents.
The market can grow and look greener so it's good to collect coins and store them.

By seeing the crypto market right now, i can say we are almost into bull run, especially after the huge increase on last two weeks ago.

Bull can happen in this year 2019 but let's see what will happen on the rest of the year, we still have 8 more months and it's been already a good one.

We don't know if we cannot tell what is a bull run.
At this moment, it's not a bull run yet, but are we going to invest when the bull started already? I guess that's not wise.
We invest before the bull run so we can get a good price and we can sell it at a good profit.

I do think the halving is likely to lead to price increases, but the general bullish trend we started a few weeks ago is I think unrelated - it's just that the bear market seems finally to have exhausted itself.

You are all waiting for Bullrun. And it will not be, as it always happens that no one is waiting.

I think the bull run has started already, we have seen upwards movement since December last year. It is going well at the moment, but a long way to go until we return to ATHs - can't see new ATHs happening this year, but maybe next.

I still really remember when halving happened in 2016 and at that time after halving apparently there was no change that was too sharp at the price of bitcoin, it even tends to be stable. will next year be different

An increase is likely, but only because it's been so down. The lower it goes, the less room it has to go even lower and of course, psychologically, therefore, the likelier it is to go up. But be careful, because we have seen recovery now, around 50% or more for most coins from their lows. So we should be prepared for some correction especially of this really heated spikes.

Don't get overexcited and stick to your long term rules. That's all I'm saying.

because of the halving of the bitcoin there will be really  big bull in 2020. and in 2019 they will prepare for bull run.
because of them we can wait aat least 5x in 2 years.

I agree with you, but only partly. We can hold Bitcoin and Ethereum. As for the other cryptocurrencies, we can trade. The market changes very often so that the profit becomes possible.

Nobody doesn't have any clue whether there is bull run in 2019-2020, but with the recovery of bitcoin price, many people are expecting the price of Bitcoin will reach to more than 10000$ by the end of the year. So we need to wait and see whether there is a bull run or not but now the altcoin situations are very verse which their values went down very low compared to March.

I think many people who are true believer of BTC and its potentials are beginning to collect some coins now and the next year halving may really go a very long way in pushing the price of bitcoin to the peak.

Almost every investors believe that the halving will have a very great effect of the price of BTC and this believe alone will cause a very BIG FOMO when the halving is coming so close, the clash of Halving effect and FOMO will really lead to a massive pump in the price of BTC, which is why many people believe that if we are to use fundamentals to judge, BTC will reach its ATH next year, but the time next year is what is yet not known.

2018 was a bad year with the end of the bear market. I think BTC needs time to grow back in the near future. Unusually when the BTC increased suddenly and suddenly stabilized above $ 5000. 2020 is the time when the market will recover and stabilize and its price may rise to $ 10k.

So, Bitcoin Block Reward Halving Countdown has already started.
If we see the history of Bitcoin halving, there seems to have been a positive impact to bitcoin's price. So direct correlation between halving reward and Bitcoin price .
Previous periods of Bitcoin halving in 2012 and 2016, clearly shows that it was a strong booster for Bitcoin price.
In 2012 after halving, the price went from 10-12 dollars to $120 so almost 10X. Whereas after 2016 halving, price moved more than 400%.
And not to mention separately, Bitcoin moves the market. So from my point of view we will see definitely a bull run not right after halving in May 2020 but sure till December 2020.

I agree with you. The market needs a long time to recover and stabilize. I believe 2020 will be the year when the bul will run vigorously. So this is a good time to invest in altcoin. BTC is stable above $ 5000 and shows signs of strong growth at the end of Q4 this year. Save now.

It will be same. Just everything will happen few months earlier as in 2016.  We will still not see  $20k Bitcoin in 2020. The real hype will happen after bitcoin reach that price.

the opinion is indeed very realistic, the biggest influence of the bullrun period is not yet available so if we hope that bullrun will occur this year it seems unlikely, although there are some improvements that occur but I don't think it is strong enough to start the bullrun period

Definitely it will be possible because in recent times the development will be more stronger with huge stability that's why I think this year gonna be rock the cryptocurrency field like 2017 and it will be more than that.

on the basis of what I think of in 2019, for me the price of bitcoin will also bring a better price, because I myself also think, now the price of bitcoin is also a good time to rise at a better price this year

It's setting up a good position for a strong run especially if it stays strong above 5k dude. That bull run may happen but probably enough to break us through the 8 or 9k levels. But that's not bad at all right?

2019 will going good for sure unlike the previous year bear and making an all time low for the rest of the alts and bitcoin in a big correction. $5000 is more on a psychological level for me that we can say it was a good zone signal once it holds for a month and breaking below would may lead to a new low or a double bottom. This year is good but can't be called bull run it takes more time now to find a stronger support before making a new high. $6000 is realistic for me until $8-10k for this years range.

it's true that no one knows when a bull run can happen but you have to know that bitcoin only has a total supply of 21 million pieces and demand is growing so that I'm sure this can make prices go up and the bull run can start sometime later.

recently it was announced that the Hippo buyer at various stock exchanges acquired 20,000 Bitcoin. This is quite a solid purchase for the current indicator of the cryptocurrency market. In addition, some stock exchanges closed low Bitcoin, which indicates a possible improvement in Bitcoin's price position in the cryptocurrency market.

if we talk about Bullrun in 2019 is too hard, but difference in 2020 because in this year bitcoin are entered halving phase and make miner reward reduced and maybe the demand for bitcoin in the market will increase rapidly after passed halving phase in 2020

Actually it was hard to predict on when the bull will be coming but maybe in the year so said the bull market was going to happen. But for now was to slow increasing the price of crypto but it was started already running to reach the top.

It's a huge run if it will happen, 2019-2020 is a long period and if we will only see a bull run, the new ATH will be seen very soon.
WE do predict as that's our game here, but we cannot assure our prediction are correct, there are experts prediction that we believe but sometimes they cannot predict the real price movement. It would be easy to predict if the bull run will continue or not, and just let the market how much price it will give to us.

Halving will take place next year so definitely bull run will also start next year, no bull run this year cause bulls are preparing for th next year.

But it depends on regulations also, if the regulation that comes there is no different from now so I can sure bitcoin will fall. You can imagine with the miner side which is now who has the power function to make bitcoin still alive. But can you imagine if the miner slowly leave bitcoin and let the transaction because the cost are cheap whilst they need a high fee to cover their system operation funds, most likely they will leave and sell their operation system. But if the regulation from many countries and many companies will make bitcoin soar again and the miner will have a high chance to stay because if they depend on the transaction fee it should be enough.

Bull run could anytime come, the longer it will stay the better.
2019 should be a year for the bull run, why? because 2018 was a bear period and that was long, we need to recover to make this market healthy again.
People will invest when they see some opportunity, in bullish market, there's plenty of opportunity.

In my opinion this is good news, bitcoin halving in 2020 is able to increase the demand for bitcoin. Surely it will be followed by a very significant price increase, the bull run will begin this year and we will feel it next year.

In the past, the biggest segment of bull runs have started next year after the bitcoin halving events such as the 2013 bull run after 2012 halving and 2017 bull run after 2016 halving. Do not know if this pattern will repeat or not.

Bull run could start this year and that's going to the halving.
That would bring good return, those who still do not believe on how big the potential of crypto, might certainly miss their chance to buy cheap.

Just saying something going to happen for sure doesn't mean it'll happen. It's like me at dice, I keep thinking, I haven't hit high or low after 10 tries in a row, so surely my 11th roll will win right? Well, I have been wrong so many times and it's exactly the same for Bitcoin. Yes, long term it is going up, but you cannot predict how long or how many years there will be in between ATH. Crypto market follows BTC you see.

we don't really know what's going to happen but whenever I hear that there will be another bitcoin halving next year I really think that it would bring a good impact to the market just like what happened last bitcoin having in the year 2016 and it gradually made bitcoin go further from its previous stage and the bull run took place during 2017.

Then, based on this theory, for the time being it is still not possible to wait too soon for the growth of Bitcoin. At a minimum, this will happen no earlier than the end of 2020. In the meantime, you need to accumulate positions.

growth has begun, don't ever worry about it. everyone might have been waiting for a market increase to occur. but for the current market conditions we can see that growth has begun, we can wait a few more months, if the increase continues to occur in larger volumes, maybe bulls have already approached this market.

The truth is that this has nothing to do with the price increase, I think the price of bitcoin moves due to the number of operations that occur in the market and this year we are in a long accumulation phase, so therefore, it is to be expected that some sudden rises and falls of bitcoin can be generated.

Apart from the fact that the speculative market moves by the simple Law of Supply and Demand of Bitcoin, where it is handled just like the Stock Market by the Market Makers, Strong Hands, or the so-called whales, it is very difficult that all the average traders of all the world join and manage to raise the bitcoin, it is very difficult, because the amounts of money are never going to match the "Institutional Money"

Agree with you. If we reset it again from the bull run after the previous halving, the bull-run reflex after halving does require time which is averaged 1 year. So if 2020 is halving bitcoin then 2021 is a bull-run year for bitcoin. But this year 2019 can be the beginning of staging bitcoin prices from the bear market.

It has to help with the price of Bitcoin going up and generally it should do because this event only happens every four years in Bitcoin and it must remain profitable for miners to mine it. It will be forced into a higher price for this problem to be solved alone. Not only the Bitcoin halving but other events as well will take place, infrastructure wise, that will help for the mass adoption phase of Bitcoin to kick in and create a higher price as well. As infrastructure gets rolled out, so does utility grow, as this will occur naturally, so will the demand rise accordingly.

In 2018, there was a serious bull season expectation, but we couldn't find what we were hoping for as crypto money investors. 2019 is more promising than last year, but what we have experienced in the past is forcing us to act more cautiously.

Bull can indeed begin this year, but the peak will be after bitcoin halving. So I also will not miss the low prices offered today because in May 2020 I am sure the price will be very crazy, just enough to hold it for one year.

Yes, I believe it's an important event that will probably increase the BTC price (and hopefully, alts with it).

Let's hope the bear market is breathing its last and we are just months away from the start of bullish market.

The bear may awaken even stronger, It will be like Godzilla but there will be a BIG BROTHER BEAR smashing through the streets causes terror for all of us.

We are already too long in this bear market IMHO who all weak hands already sold their BTC. No sense to move BTC lower.

Moving at a lower price could mean massive dump again, when we say weak hands those that have sold during the time where big panic is happening in the market, probably at higher $10,000 because they want to minimize their loses. Their decision was always wrong as they enter during the peak looking for fast and easy return, but even if they have both at high price but understood the fundamentals of crypto, they might not dump it.

I think we've been out of the bear market for a while now; we're well above the lows of December 2018, which looks like the bottom of the market.
There's been a bit of a price fall over the last couple of days, but BTC is still holding well above $5k, and alts are holding too. Volumes are still high.

The bull run cannot happen at the present time. Because Bitcoin needs time to recover and develop for the new period after a severe year of decline. Therefore I believe Bull run can only happen in those the last month of the year.

year there is still hope the market will rise. in this month bitcoin has shown a pretty good market increase and in my opinion later bitcoin will get big profits and now is the right time for that. where to invest

It is difficult to predict clearly, but I think that 2019 until the end of it will open the way for the next two years of a new bull run, After we were drowning in the bear market, this year came and we were saved from drowning with some good profits, As for the coins prices now they are improving against the previous year, Let us hold the coin and increase the quantity and work patiently.

There are many users here saying that this year will be the start of the bull run and I agree with them but I don't think it will happen within the first half of the 2019.

I believe that the bear market isn't over yet. I think if the price of Bitcoin reaches 6000 and stay there for at least a week then the probability of a bull run increases. Anyway, this is just a prediction only and lets just wait for what will happen in the saga of the market :D.

IMHO in crypto now just people that don't care how much cost BTC) they all holding it or will buy more at a lower price)

I do not understand your statement a little.  What do you have in mind?  If people buy Bitcoin at low prices or even now, then they will definitely keep it until the price rises several times.  In any case, we have examples of 2016 and 2017.

It would be good to remember that there are people who hold BTC at a price higher than 6000. Many of them will want to leave the market at their prices. This will create resistance to an uptrend. Until new buyers buy this Bitcoin by old holders, growth will be slow.

That is true many people was faith on bitcoin at 6k and after that market fall down completely in last Q4 on 2018.


When there is bull run in coming months we will be able to buy the ethereum, LTC and etc now and can make the profit by investing on those coins itself.
If there is growth then no one will mind among that marketplace.

maybe the existence of The Bitcoin block reward halving will be able to bring a new increase this year because we have been waiting for a rise in the market so far, but later there will be no significant changes this year but I am sure that in the years the future price will be much better and we are forced to wait a little longer for the increase.

If bitcoin price reach $ 6000 than i think this the start time off bullrun, market will continues increase when a lot of good nes spreading..

bull run will start in 2020. after halving i am waiting at least 10x from btc.
buy btc under 5000 dollars. you will gain a lot in short term.

I'm trying to say that now on the market there is quite a small quantity of people who will sell BTC. If there will be no sales Bears can become Bulls, because they can't dump market without sellers. 

We are still experiencing the reversal and not the bull that we are expecting to show up, it's too early for for this claims but most of us really believes that this year will bring good positive movements while we are expecting the strong bull to comes up next year before or after the halving took place.

You're somehow right but will determine the existence of the bull run market is if the level of the market demand momentum keep on increasing rather then go down the bull market will keep to live cause the status of the market in terms of demand usually woo more investors cause it will maje them understand that the crypto market is pretty active.

Yeah agree, there are only few BTC holder right now still holding and I think they have no plan to sell them because the market is in bull run state.
Look at the price last january and this month.
Theres a huge increase it means the price of bitcoin is increasing and I think there is incoming price increase more soon.

Minor corrections like today  will come and go but the market trend has been slowly turning to bullish for some time. Bitcoin still need to go above major resistance in the $6000s and may do it  in next month or two.

well, this month showed a good increase in the recovery of Bitcoin and altcoin prices. however, at the end of this month, I think the price is back down again. well, however, the price recovery that occurs is not stable. I still expect the bull run to take place this year.

Let's look at the facts of today! This will also affect the price by may of next year.
The situation on the market. As you can see, the market has woken up since the beginning of april and people drew attention to crypto market. Accordingly, there were news that bitcoin is good)) and so on.

"New love" of influential people to bitcoin. They again convince us that they are paying attention and are ready to deal with him. In addition, new exchanges as mushrooms get out so that we will use them in the future.

Everything that is limited in price is expensive and invaluable. For all experts are waiting for this day BTC

Of course, the results of the cryptocurrency market are noticeable. When the whole market takes three steps forward and two steps back, we are still moving upward.  I think that prices for rating cryptocurrency eloquently speak about this today, compared to prices at the end of 2018.

i think we will see a bull run in the second half of 2019 if you want to be safe try to average in your investment from now i wish you good luck in your investment decision :)

I think yes BTC will soon to pump like what happened last 2017. We are still on the bear market as of this moment as there still no big pumps happening lets just all hope for btc and altcoin to have a good price this coming 2020.

Yes, that is exactly what i think too the resistance of market which pushes me to buy more of bitcoin and ethereum. Hoping it will be a good bounce back this year 2019-2020.

one reasn bullrun are started in 2020 is a bitcoin are halving in this year and make bitcoin price growing up because demand bitcoin are high and supply limited

In my opinion, it will have an impact on the increase in the price of Bitcoin. The increase in Bitcoin prices has now taken place and this price increase has a very positive impact on the development of Altcoin. I think this growth will continue, so we must be able to take advantage of this opportunity.

The advantage is when you buy at the current cheap price.
I believe all coins except those scams or shit coins will grow, btc is very stable in growth, I believe the bull run will give a very big uptrend move soon.
While the market is behaving bullish, investors will slowly come wanting to ride for the big bull run again.

Yup I that's what my instinct tell me, that the bull rune will come this year because of the block reward halving of bitcoin next year but because of too much FUDs and bad news out there about cryptocurrency I think that the real bull run will come in 2020-2021 after the block reward halving.

Well i believe the run might happen before the halving base on the recent market movement
The volume keep on spike time by time and its going up

All shit coins will have the same price and will be dead, other popular coins like bitcoin and others will growth for sure. If the bull run market entered in this year, i'm sure we will see bitcoin price reach $10k until the end of the year. Not only bitcoin, other altcoins will grow up big.

sway remains convinced that by the end of 2019 the price of bitcoin will penetrate more than 7k dollars and eth's price will be over 400 dollars, soon to be ready to welcome the thing we have been waiting for for a long time

very difficult to guess because the increase in bitcoin prices for this year is very different With the previous year, bitcoin is very limited in number of coins but the price does not rise whether in the next three years, I am also waiting for the right moment

The price hasn't rise yet based on your expectation, but it would not rise instantly.
Bull run means a long term increase until the market will recover to its good standing, now it seems it has started but we can't bee to confident
yet as in our mind, the last years long bear period is still fresh, we have to believe and move one because market change and this could be the time.

Market conditions are always unpredictable, when the price of bitcoin rises by more than $ 1200 in 2 weeks now prices are slowly going to the floor again, I hope the price of bitcoin doesn't drop below $ 5000 so there is still a chance to skyrocket.

It's going to be a serious global or local crisis to get us into the bull season. Despite all the positive developments in the crypto money market, we have not seen the upward steps we have been expecting yet.

I agree with you, seeing from the market trip I'm sure a stronger market will come, it doesn't matter in 2019 the market goes down, because I think the bullrun market will not arrive this year but in 2020-2021, so I think this is the right time for us to invest.

Most cryptocurrency users expect big and dramatic changes in the cryptocurrency market this year, but everyone is looking forward to a recovery in 2020.  But I would also like to note that not only positive information around the cryptocurrency market can help, but also large investments, which are a fundamental success factor for the entire cryptocurrency.

Yes, April started with very good news for everybody. meanwhile, I do not see that the market is going to fall. Yes, some of the cryptocurrencies lose a bit in price, but they recover very fast as well.

April is a tax season... So we, probably, will have countinue grow in May, when people will finish t pay taxes and start invest in crypto again.

Well, this could affect especially on major countries where taxes on crypto earnings are strictly implemented.
I have not earn in 2018 so I don't have to pay taxes, and also in my country the regulation of crypto is still lax but regardless it will not have significant effect on the market as the users are very small.

I hope this May the growth will continue, sure we want to see another big pump next  month.

Once a month is alright, as long as BTC will be stable after the pump.  ;D

In such dump conditions who will begin invest a quite enough sum in crypto? I think it's not possible. Tax is not the main reason to dump or anything else. At 2018 we don't see noticeable growth in May. If tax is so important why this fact did not work a year ago?

i think 2020 would be the start of a new era for bitcoin and will lead the crypto to a futuristic market that will blow the world of finance.

I will gladly accept that if we are meant for that year, but I believe we will not be left out this year, I mean we will surely see some decent recovery
and that will lead to a price increase compared to last year. An increase is price is good for the market, though our expectation will not happen but we still plenty of time to see it fulfilled, we need to see a more stable increase as it's stronger.

It won't, things have changed now. the situation is far better than last year, the bearish confirmed is over. but that does not mean bullish happens. we are still in the stage of going to bullish, at least at the end of 2019 we will start to crawl up and rise

The market was looking increasingly bullish the last few weeks. Recently we have had a bit of a dip, however I suspect this is due in part to the Bitfinex/Tether controversy - and the fact that the dip has only been small and support is holding I would take as another bullish sign.

some of my expert friends do not predict that bitcoin will grow high in 2019 2020, but the following year that the increase in bitcoin cannot be prevented anymore. yes that's how it is every time they discuss
 and this is confirmed by the latest news that I read, there is a strong possibility that nothing will appear that can strengthen trade or the crypto market to grow as high as in 2017.

We must observe the intensity of the change in the capitalization of the cryptocurrency market and a single project.  This can dismiss the real prospects of the entire market and how relevant it is to invest in certain projects, because there are examples when, despite the poor state of the cryptocurrency market, certain coins still showed very good results.  As an example, you can call such a company as pundi X.

Not only in countries where people pay taxes on crypto. This also concerns all fiat business, companies etc. People must calculate their profit and pay taxes, and after this they will be able to ivnestin crypto their money again...

I also think the next Bitcoin halving can trigger a new bull run in cryptocurrency market. But right now it's hard to tell if it's really gonna happen. So far a halving has always pushed up the price, but somehow I'm a bit sceptical this time, but can't say why. But anyway, I'm still hoping it's really gonna happen.  ;)

How can this provoke another price hike in the cryptocurrency market?  It seems to me that without a certain amount of investment the market will generally freeze in place.  In addition, you really need to start thinking about the state of Bitcoin and its prospects for the future, since it is he who influences the pricing of many cryptocurrencies. 

yes this bull market is not going to last for long when the dip keep coming recently and it is hard to keep the price of cryptos rise higher in these months, perhaps we will be taken a huge dip in upcoming days before the market has a chance to rise back in the end of 2019, i believe it is going to dip very soon but rightnow there are not much signs showing us at this moment but we must always becareful in these months.

Due to the halving, fewer new Bitcoins are produced every day, thereby the quantity of new Bitcoins coming onto the market will be reduced (theoretically). If you compare the prices with the last halvings, you can see that the Bitcoin price has always changed positively due to the halving. So I'm assuming it can happen again this time.
Of course the market has changed over the last few years and nobody can say 100% if it will happen, I don't either, but I still hope so. The possibility, as you say, that the market may freeze without new investors can also be right, but so far new and bigger investors have always joined and since the adaptation of crypto is progressing so far, maybe everything will continue as before.  :)

Carefully analyze the situation before making your assessment, there's still some possibilities that bear can pull it back and this temporary rise will be interfere before making it's way up, investment should be properly taking care and analyze, making a wrong move will lead you to trapped or loses if you won't be able to wait.

Yeah, adding to it an investor or trader in crypto will shpuld know it because we cannot control the market, big volumes flow into some altcoins but for those others are still no having a good pump that's really bothering me. 10k above will be  agood sign of bull run to me.

We've gone about a month now without seeing any new price increases. For me the key point is probably BTC around the high $6000s - this is where thee was really solid support in the second half of 2018. If we can push through that and hold at say $7000, I think that will be a definite bull market.

But there are some people in crypto saying that this is all fake bull run and that we are going to see a very drastic drop to 1000$ in 2019 before the real bull run will come and stay

I don't think you should believe it. look at the market looks good, and there is no sign of a decline so far. and I think we are on a bull move that will bring the market up. don't expect there will be big bulls like 2017, this is a different condition.

Should retest 4 k and up from there in the distant future.

I'm expecting the same 2017 was much of a hype but this time it could more sustainable bull run.
If the price will pump harder without solid news backing it, it will again fall hard, but this market now has matured and investors are smarter, once it pump there will be not much of FOMO and it could be due to institutional money coming in.

If this year we will witness a bull run and until 2020, it's expected a new high will also be created.

there will always be changes at any time and we are impossible to know the exact price movements. A bull run or bear market is a situation that cannot be predicted. the easiest is to maximize the use of digital currency. because when the use of digital currency increases, it will grow the value of public trust in digital currencies and this can increase the price of a coin.

At least at the beginning of 2019, the state of the cryptocurrency market has greatly improved, but if we compare this growth trend with last year's figures, which were in 2016 and 2017, then we are still in a very slow development.

i think there is its not possible.. looking the price of the bitcoin and market today is good sign to start the bull market

the longer the uptrend lasts the more attention the market gets for new investors

now the green market wich indicated as the bull already coming my friend
and i believe this is really good sign for all crypto believers, because most of great cryptocurrencies rising now  ;)

I think it's very possible that new bullish races will be formed, because lately the bitcoin movements have been big and fast, this is very beneficial. From the speculative point of view, it is essential that these movements continue to be given, because somehow they are generating operations and in new price ranges, which indicates that the accumulation stage is taking place in a great and fast way. .

When these movements occur, the average traders buy and sell, the sales are usually many, which, the Strong Hands decide to go giving these movements to continue buying and buying, we can have good movements if the offer in levels of $ 6K are exhausted , may continue to grow, we could even talk about $ 8K easily and without leaving the range of accumulation that many market speculators have marked as another psychological number that positively affects the market.

If we continue as we are, it is necessary that, continue rising or create lateralization zones, so that liquidity zones are formed to resist any downward movement, then you can see a good outlook for 2020, having great progress in terms of accumulation of bitcoins is concerned, to make way for the bullish trend stage that we all look forward to.

In just less than a week, look what we already have achieved, just woke up today and was able impress with BTC's movement.
It moves while I'm sleeping and now I'm glad to see it still pumping at over $7000 now.
This us undeniably a bull run my friend.

Maybe the bull run start now and the price of bitcoin will continue to grow, but is really a bull run or is just a bull trap ? And is something intresting that the price of bitcoin grow a lot after Binance hack. Why?

Bitcoin has blasted through the resistance zone in the $6000s to reach low $7000s today. However, it has gone up too much too fast so won't be surprised if there is a sudden correction back to $5000 - $6000 zone after this rally peaks. This rise is nicely bullish.

Have you heard of Uplexa? The first IOT mining.

I thought, it wouldn't happen suddenly. because of the growth that occurs, it is certain that the market support is fairly strong. this price will last a long time, there is even a possibility that growth will continue to occur. a decline might occur, and on a small scale I think it's still reasonable.

The fact is that 80% of the coins have already been mined. In this regard, I think that the importance of halving will decrease each time. It is possible that this will cause a new round of hype, but no more. If the bull run has already begun, then it is very likely that next May we will again fall.

Still at a wild guess, we can't say that coming halving can be a toll for bull run cause in the first place, isn't that only be a factor that can possibly move the market. It is investors decision to put their money in crypto or leave us along, or there is a huge increase of investors.
So I may think that we can't get any assurance that said halving will create another big jump.

If the next halving will also follow the last patterned that happen from those previous results then expect that it will bring bull and lift the market to a good increase in value, but as you have said nobody can assess or clearly give the right direction everything is only speculative guess and assumptions of anyone who are optimistic that halving will help or a good reason  to create bull market.

the bullish trend already show up in crypto market now,
simple proof, now bitcoin run above 10K USD and soon the next target could be at $15,000 and maybe in the beginning from Q3 this year my friend
and i believe next year most of good crypto will create new high in price

the bear market is already running now. but a big correction has taken place, I think now the market needs to stabilize existing trade. at its peak, I think the beginning of next year until the middle of next year is the time when the market will peak.

The news if Facebook, opera mini, Samsung and other global giants in the centralized business world joining cryptocurrency has been like a wave sweeping through the globe with millions of people joining crypto. This has led to the organic growth of bitcoin in the last three months from $5000 to over $12000

This year, we have lots of good news in crypto. Not just Bitcoin block reward, rather Ethereum Constantinople Fork, Binance Chain, Bakkt news, JPM coin news, Facebook Coin or Chainlink google collaboration or Vanta amazon collaboration and many more good news came already within these 6 months. And now, we are in a bull run! BTC price went to 13K and it can hit 15K USD anytime! This year we can see more good news in the coming days and that can lead bitcoin to hit the new ATH!

LOL, This is too funny. We are going to see many many corrections, big and small, but what we won't see for a while is a "bear market". We've entered a new Bull Market last April/May and it's going to continue until the end of 2020 where btc price will peak at over 100K USD.

The fact that bullrun is already happening in the cryptocurrency market is a fait accompli. The question is how high it will lead us. Whether Bitcoin will cost $ 25,000, or as some analysts predict, BTC will be able to grow to $ 100,000. In any case, it seems that the Bullrun of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will last until the summer of 2020, until the halving of Bitcoin occurs.

right now indeed bitcoin has increased and pushed up in the crypto market in 2019 it might also last until 2020. this could be a possibility considering the crypto price has stabilized after the decline in 2018

I'm not saying it's impossible, but it seems you are too speculating about your analysis. what will make bitcoin grow that high? even though we are in a good trend, it will not provide a bitcoin insult to reach such a price next year.

The crypto market has now returned successfully. Despite the very high increase in Bitcoin prices. And altcoins are very slow to go back up following Bitcoin. With the pump going on Bitcoin gives a very positive impact. All the coins are now trying to pump.

This, in my opinion sucker's rally is taking much longer then I had anticipated. If it won't fall any lower then a 50% correction from here, it will be my loss.. I sold at 7k after buying BTC in december. I still hold half of what I bought, but I'm handpalming every day I look at the charts. The grow is too quick for it to be substantial in my eyes.. But the bull run is near or, but not likely it's already here..

most likely like that but if my prediction from now on the market will always continue to increase because with the encouragement of big players like Facebook and Microsoft it will help bitcoin and the market experience a large and fast price increase

The rise that happened so quick and the market still on it's state of getting higher attention from the wide masses making it's way to be well recognize and be supported by bigger businesses that will also caters and invest inside the market.

Bull run for investors who able to catch the price in the beginning of this year and still holding and trying to maximize thier profits.

IMO bull run might happen after the halving next year, if the history repeat itself then we can assume 2020 or 2021 is the next bull run.

Well its not certain but we are hoping that halving has a good effect in the cryptocurrency in general.

Currently bitcoin is showing improvement and since its a top crypto many investors are optimistic to see another bull run.

I guess the bull run will happen this year, usually there's a big positive effect in the market when people are speculating compared to what happen after the even took place. The price has been increasing now and this I believe a start of a bullish run, I really think we are close, just one big push and we will be there. A new high would probably trigger a new bull run, and I think the new high will be broken soon.

If bullrun is for bitcoin this 2019, well hopefully it could become favorable to other promising alts for 2020. Gladly I will be happy for everybody who has the potential to sell on that day, but most probably if this time comes many of us will be blessed and lucky.

the market is full of uncertainty it's more or less unpredictable with the way bitcoin is pumping we might see another bull run before the end of the year,  and not wait until 2020

It will. But it will not be the sole consideration why there is a bull run that will happen within the year. As a matter of fact, as early as this today, 6 months before the year 2020, the scheduled year for the halving, takes place, the bull run has already started. There are so many reasons why Bitcoin has to go up flying. The worldwide adoption of Bitcoin is as huge a reason for the bull run as the halving of block reward happening in the following year.

Yes, many people predict this bull run, but I do believe that prior to bull run we must show new minimum. I am ready to buy bitcoin for 1800-2500. It is going to be a bloodbath

I don't think Bitcoin is going to descend so low that it will be trading around $1800 this year again. If you make this comment in February when this thread was open I could have agreed with you then but since February things have changed and Bitcoin is now above $11,000. I don't think we are going to see Bitcoin below $8000 this year again but we are going to see it above $20,000 before end of this year.

We are in the middle of this year. There is still a lot of time for a big pump. We should wait and support bitcoin strongly. Don't lose hope and maybe within this year we will see a big price of bitcoin.

it will probably happen at the end of this year or at the beginning of the next year. I hope that the big pump will not come later than Q2 next year.

if you are a trader you might prefer the market situation like this. Look at the bitcoin price movements that occur every day and then rise again. for people who are easily panicked maybe they will feel very tense.

You can't say things like that yet since we all know that there is still a Bitcoin halving that's waiting next year to happen. And one more thing Bitcoin hasn't touched the previous ATH yet and the possibility of a new ATH is very high since there is a halving next year. What we have seen lately is just a sudden rush to push the price to $15k yet they failed since most people are not buying it.

As we can see, i think bull run is happening now for bitcoin. But it also hard to tell the bull run will be long lasting till 2020. The market of cryptocurrency is so volatile that makes the price is so fluctuating.

You know what? You have a good inference. Bitcoin is moving up nowadays. Due to the bitcoin halving, many people make it as a reason to buy more bitcoins. In result, bitcoin surged up to 13K dollars. And as of now, though there is a correction we are optimistic that bitcoin will move up more.

I am hoping that you are still there together with us and celebrating bitcoin bull run season.

Bitcoin is always the first option for me, alsO Ethreum, Ripple, etc. I am keeping mainly to the top currencies that have already developed products and are working to expanding it rather than on the ICO’s that have solely and MVP.  You can find my main 4 coins below:

Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the single largest and most recognized cryptocurrency in existence.

Stellar Lumens
Stellar Lumens is a similar technology to Ripple, however, instead of focusing solely on the banks they have built a system to integrate merchants, banks and the general population.

Historia
A novel idea. To keep current happenings on the blockchain. To ensure that in the future third parties politicians and etc wouldn’t twist facts based on their needs.

Monero (XMR)
Privacy enabled by default. There will always be a demand for an anonymous channel for commerce.

2020 is the year wherein bitcoin will be having it's block halving (every 4 years), that's why many are anticipating a huge run or even a new all-time-high for bitcoin. If that happens then we might see alts also having its own run. But it is still far though, so we need to wait if there will be a bull run similar to 2017. But just prepare for the worst and don't expect big so that you won't be disappointed at the end.

Now the market growth is getting more visible, the Monero (XMR) price is around $ 93.04 which is still very far to reach the price of $ 500 as the OP expects, Even though a bull run occurs the price will not be that expensive.

In my opinion, the cryptocurrency rally of 2019-2020 only started to gain momentum. Having reached $13,000, Bitcoin declined amid the expiration of futures options, and most likely until August BTC will stay in the flat between $10,000 and $12,000. Only with the approach of the Litecoin halving in August, the cryptomarket will revive again and the powerful uptrend will continue, during which Bitcoin will undoubtedly  break through $ 20,000, like many altcoins will overcome their ATH.

but I actually got the luck from my panic when I saw prices start to fall, and I sold all the bitcoins that I had. then I buy more bitcoin, and bitcoin goes up again. honestly I panicked to see prices go up and down, but it pumped my heart to keep buying and selling my bitcoin.

It is and happened already mate,your speculation is indeed though it was in a question form but I’m sure that’s what you wanna impose the bullrun of 2019 until the halving in 2020 May,and with that range of time we might be seeing the higher value bitcoin and other altcoin ever had(not including those damn pump and dump coins )

But also remember that luck is not always there for you, you need to decide whether to go long or go short when investing to bitcoin, chances that a bif rise and you will not be able to buy back with cheap price anymore, needs to make assessment and try to follow the charts it will helps you more instead
of trying your luck.

he only got good luck at the moment of decline this time. but maybe he really prefers trading rather than long-term investments that will clearly panic when the market goes down like now.
at this time if you want to buy a bitcoin then specify the moment, when bitcoin is in the bottom position. many people say bulls will occur after this correction, maybe at the end of the year there will be a price surge.

for the market situation now is not far for bull run.. bitcoin reach 13k last week and it has back to $10,000.. some TA's are predicting for the bullish by the end of the year and I am hoping for that  ;D

we've seen bitcoin pumps this year, or maybe we have already walked half of the bull run. if indeed the end of this year the market reaches its peak, I think this decline will end soon.

They come back reach $10K for picking up new comer inside, this good for reaching back to $13 before bullish to another price up.

well, I think bull run is so fast going on, and now there is a reverse effect, namely the bear market. Bitcoin prices are now back below $ 10k. well, this is a pretty bad thing at the beginning of July, but I believe mid-July, the price of bitcoin will rise again.

Bitcoin needs to find the the floor to get the stabilization of its price and that's why bearish trend has come and it makes bitcoin traded below 10k but that will not happen for a long time. A lot of bullish news appeared in the various crypto news site. Hope big bull will have started very soon.

Hopefully holders will not panic and they will only see this as a correction, nothing serious here for the holders, price is volatile it could pump and dump but we should focus on the end result which it will bring the price back up again.

In a bullish market, when bitcoin is down more than 10%, that's already a great opportunity to buy as it could also rise more than 10% soon.
Imagine the amount of profit in a short term, if they are smart enough they see this for sure.

I also agree to that, he got lucky to invest in the right timing but it's not always there as I mentioned there's also instances that the market will move
not with anyone's favor it will go to the other side even you anticipate and you hardly assess there's still chances that it wont favor your positions.

During the 2017 bull i was a noob in crypto and was too naive to fully understand what was going on neither did i have the knowledge to take profit from my little investment ::), that was a one time mistake ;D, so bull run am fully ready this time i believe we will have some fun 2019/20 ;D

I admit,  also made a mistake that bull run as it's my first time to witness a bull run though I'm here in crypto for years already.
But let it go mate, consider that experience of yours a learning experience and may you grow and make the right decision in the next bull run.

The market is cyclical, there will be a new bullran, there will be new buyers of cryptocurrency at the highest prices. There will be a new fall from new heights and news that btc has failed. Everything is cyclical. The main thing is to wait and believe!

Good predictions and so far the market is still in a good trend even though volatility is very strong there but with that at least the price starts to be maintained to continue the bull run, with strong prices at this time it is certain that the bull run will continue to reach new ATH.

I am glad that a fairly good support line has been formed, so I think the following is that this movement is waiting for us to the right. Just kidding of course, but I think that we will gradually consolidate higher and higher up to 13k, and then there will be rapid growth(I mean BTC). So far I would like to hope that it will be a good time for alternative coins.

Bitcoin is still on the upward trend and it could go on vertical up to the end of the year. I'm not sure about some altcoins though, majority of them are like 80% down from it's previous ATH. But we just need to hold and not to lose hope, I'm sure the altcoin bull run will happen late 2019.

You can't remove the volatility of the market as it will stay forever unless you are into stable altcoins. There's more interesting on this bull run base on the news that we have lately just like this:
‘I Guess I’ll Have to Hodl It’ — Peter Schiff Admits to Having Bitcoin (https://cointelegraph.com/news/i-guess-ill-have-to-hodl-it-peter-schiff-admits-having-bitcoin)

That will have an impact surely but let's see if we can still increase the price of Bitcoins this year it is better before that happen we will reached 20,000$ mark so that no price decreasing will happen. we still experiencing a slight bull run on the price these few months. let's just hope that there will be a great increase in price after July.

That is litecoin mate...

The correction happened, then let's wait what will happen to BTC next, I know we will not stop here, it's just a correction and ain't bad at all, in fact it's very good to take the opportunity to buy as it's a huge dropped of BTC with almost 10%.

If that kind of percentage will be moving sideways, that would bring a good profit for smart traders, so choose your side.

Price of Bitcoin is starting to grow few months before the halving. Still we have a lot of time to cumulate more Bitcoins. So what are you waiting for?  8)

if the market conditions will later show an upward movement, buying now is a good choice at a price that is still cheap. we can buy it now and hold it until next year.

Now I start to think that not always the market will experience a decline as it happened 2018 years. Now the market is in very positive condition and this is the impact of the Bitcoin price increase. The Bull Run is going to happen in 2019-2020, and I am also very confident that the hike will continue to happen.

Bitcoin halving is the big next thing to look forward to in 2020 so I'm not into bakkt or regulations for now,I belief that the halving will have impact on altcoins too

I'm thinking of positive thing about Bakkt but it looks like the effect hasn't yet seen. The prices were the same and I think that there's still the big doors for the institutional investors that would want to invest at lows.
Halving would be our next hope for next year and the effect of it would come maybe after.

That's not the only one, it's just one but no the biggest IMO, big news that would cause to help the adoption increase are those institutional money to come and invest in crypto, and looks like we are at the right path now after president Trump comment about crypto.

When reading this topic I guess now, we've gone through the month of May, and the market price especially Bitcoin is experiencing a high increase. Bull Run hasn't walked evenly especially for altcoins. Altcoin runs very slowly but growth will be very good. I guess we need to be patient to wait for the Altcoin that can bull run.

We do not know on when the bull run happen it will come up in no time. Maybe it will start in this year to 2020 and if that happen im going to sell some of my coins that i have. It has been long time that i hold them until now the prices of its on a low of price.

Bitcoin prices are above $ 10k now, this will certainly drive high prices further towards the end of this year and I have tried to buy some Bitcoin and Ethereum over the past few months, I believe seeing bitcoin price movements later this year will also be very good, let's see it later

Bitcoin growth happens very quickly, so until now, the price of Bitcoin is still very high. This gives a very positive impact on Altcoin. Mid-2019 to 2020, I think it will be a revival of all of us crypto coins.

Adoption will come but I'm more optimistic with halving without the help of the news. It's like a normal incident that every 4 years which will give significant positive effect that we're all asking.
It's like a guaranteed increase after the halving. I don't think that Trump's statement is the reason why the market stumbles right now, basically it's a normal issue when someone popular says that he dislike bitcoin.

Don't loss your optimism, there are some corrections but it's not a hardships, bitcoin has increased so far this year with a good rate and for it to start a bull run, it does not need 5 months or more to make it, at least that's what I know based on the past movement.

Waiting for more correction i thing,
It should huge happen correction was over today, Price become to stable with just little correction.
No body know what price next, some buyer still waiting for more low price and it could be late.

Bull run in my opinion will occur between the years 2020-2021, after the price Bitcoin will Pump then the price of Altcoin will follow its, the price Bitcoin will pump after halving finished, will probably happen at the end of the year 2021.

Yes, you are right based on the past experience it is very good to be positive in the market because if you compare Bitcoin price in 2018, now Bitcoin price increased more than 3 times, so due to some corrections we are facing some tactic situation in the market.

Halving was discussed even during the bull run, I remember some people saying wow if the price is 15k like it is right now imagine what happens when the next halving comes. Of course, I'm not saying halving won't see BTC at 20k or more next year, but a lot of people knew about it already and its effect won't be pronounced this time.

for sure the real bull will coming in 2020, thats my predictions
not in this year, a good sign already come, because this year all of us can see if the bear market on cryptocurrency already over  ;)
and for now collecting more bitcoin and some good altcoins is the best idea

Yes, we just think of how much bitcoin should be after the halving but it's all about speculations. We can have many speculations and predictions on how much it would be but I'm having that kind of feeling that we'll see more of it.
What's more? after the halving, there's more predictions that it will be higher than $20k this time.

Btc is very dynamic which makes it very unpredictable, people may say one thing and the market will do something different, dip are part of the market, without dip some people can't buy in cheap besides you can expect market to have a constant up trend without little corrections, btc will come back with full force.

many people predict that the bull run will be come at the end of the year until mid year 2020 but I am personally a little pessimistic because until now the market has been seen down and only down that has happened until now

We're too far to from December, so we still have that good chance to experience another bull run again. Let's be more confident and don't let your speculative worries to over power you despite seeing market downfalls. This time is not good for emotional struggles, because we need to be strong at all times in order to survive, and benefit from profit you've got if bull run comes.

2019 and 2020 is the market for bull market the real market consolidation just started so we can expect market to bounce back to previous all time prices by this year end we may see new bull cycle which may cross previous all time prices

Everyone is very optimistic bull market will come in the end of 2019 to 2020. I hope so, market will increse and altcoins will rise after a long bearish market.

A crypto bull run is very much connected to the financial world around us. The world-wide trend ahead seems to be a loss of confidence in the public sector which means that money will flow out of gov debt and into the private sector (stocks, crypto, real estate). So relax guys, our crypto dog will have its day once again.

Nah, I think the real bullrun will only happens right after the bitcoin block halving in 2020 so for me the bullrun is around 2020-2021, similar to 2016-2017. This year is a period of accumulation wherein we as investors or speculators should take this time to stash more coins, bitcoin and altcoins so that when the real bull run occurs, all we have to do is watch our portfolio grow.

It will sure not gonna come easily, we are also challenge with the sudden pump and dump but let's just look at the overall performance of the market, and then we will realize that the market is already bullish.

this current year btc have recovered alot . i can say that the bull run already happen but some people are not yet convinced that its a bull run that happen last time because they were expecting more . maybe they think that the increase is only small just becuase they are big time hodlers but for us small time hodlers the rise is already big  to us  . year 2019 isnt done yet so there is a chance that a huge bull run can still be achieve  ,  i just dont know if the price will remain and will continue to increase next year and on the incoming years  , time can only tell   .

Yes, don't expect too much into the market, it will only bring the opposite. But if investors like that speculate that, invest and wait

I'm not expecting a good bull run until mid-2020. Must first undergo a halving of bitcoin and then have to go an overflow of money in altcoins.

I mean, I totally get the idea about scarcity of bitcoin but as long as 1 cent is still around 100 satoshi, we are fine. As long as faucets are still giving out 20 satoshis or 100, it means there's plenty of btc to go around. You need to think also that if 1 million dollar bitcoin really happens, then we need scarcity to happen so badly 1 satoshi is something to fight over.

People should really be giving up on this hopes of bull runs coming in 2019,,, and especially people should give up on the altcoin season happening. I think it will never come again. The days of useless coins and useless tokens going 10000x is gone,,, wake up and get used to it. The days of Bitcoin x10 will come still,,, but not so soon.

We can draw parallels with the Litecoin halving, which will take place in August. LTC began to grow 6 months ago, and on the chart we can see six green candles in a row that were interrupted a month before the halving.
If we assume that the price of Bitcoin can repeat this movement of litecoin, then btc simply does not have time to drop to $ 1000, because its halving will occur in less than 10 months, and before that it should grow 6 months in a row ... Only predictions , but I think btc can drop to 7200-7500 during next 2-3 months and then a bull run will start

I believe we will have a bull run perhaps in Q4 and first quarter of 2020. The market has improved tremendously unlike late last year and i believe it will get even better by ending of this year.

On those periods, I'm more believing that we'll see such bullish move after the halving. It doesn't have specific timeframe when but it's likely a year after the halving but if we see such interesting gains throughout the entire year just after the halving by a month or two then that's a great result.
On the other hand, many have also believed that we're already on it.

The present price rally of bitcoin might be the start of something big in the coming years after the bitcoin halving that will happen on the second half of 2020. I believe that this year's bullrun will be mild but it can still match or surpass its previous all-time high last 2017 before the year end. But several big corrections might still hit the top coins before that final push for this year and this corrections might pump some altcoins for several days.

I believe that we will experience a bull run by this year but I do not expect that it will be the same as what we experienced last 2017. Because of too many regulations by the government and other negative thoughts by some popular people, we cannot expect the same that will happen. But it will happen one day. Maybe 2020 or by 2021. God knows.

we hope the bull will run immediately. looking at current market conditions, hopefully it can happen at the end of the year or maybe early next year that will start growth. but before the market movement and trade must increase better than now.

Why the pessimism? Nobody really knows what could happen. We can only rely on the market cycle and events that will serve as a catalysts to price movements. Anyway, I like the idea of "buying the fear, selling the news" - tactic in trading and taking positions. So, for the nay sayers out there, I will have you to thank when altcoins start mooning. When? that my friend is a variable.

it looks like the bull is still far away. maybe we just saw a few pumps and corrected them again until this year ended. we will see how the market moves in the next year, now there is not much hope to happen in the market.

Not that far away, we're at hand and market is just playing around. At least we've got the taste out of $3k ish ~ $5k ish.
Still a good phase to accumulate more coins especially bitcoin. Once the price starts to increase again, people will rush to buy at the peak again and will regret of not entering at this phase.

There is a strong believe that it might lead to a bull-run in late this year or early 2020. That has been Bitcoin behaviors for the past years when halving is about to take place. At that time, Bitcoin might have another all time high it term of price.

most people often predict price increases for the crypto market and want to return to prices like 2017. I don't really expect bullrun to repeat for this year, because I see the current market conditions going down and seeing a rise but this is just a trap. the market will rise will take a long time

In 2017, Bitcoin had its most successful period, reaching its all-time high of $20,000 in December. But the following year was absolutely horrific for the entire crypto space, and till February 2019, Bitcoin had crumbled down to just over $3,000. In my opinion the beginning of January 2020 Bitcoin will hit price $50,000 the potential of cryptocurrencies has been very well recognized by institutional investors. Right from the New York Stock Exchange, to Fidelity Investments LLC, VISA to PayPal, and Apple

that is absolutely yes. So if someone wants to make a big profit next year, buy bitcoin now and hold it until next year. before halving 2 months, that is the highest increase period, maybe the price of Bitcoin would then be $ 22k. So the best strategy is to buy as many bitcoins as possible. :D

2020 will be a year full of hope. It must be now. In 2019, too many new investors entered. but with small investments. In 2020 this could be better.

we all never know what market conditions will happen. because the conditions are difficult to predict, both increases and decreases. because it all fits the current movement. so no one ever knows what conditions will happen in the months to come later.

yes its depend about the trader and news, if some people will back to buy btc like 2017 its will bull run again

Hold on to your hats folks. BTC dominance near 70%, so alts about explode up, maybe in a month or so.

No one doesn't have any piece of information whether there is bull kept running in 2019-2020, however, with the recuperation of bitcoin cost, numerous individuals are expecting the cost of Bitcoin will reach to more than 10000$ before the year's over. So we have to keep a watch out whether there is a bull run or not but rather now the altcoin circumstances are very refrained which their qualities went down low contrasted with March.

That will continue to crush altcoins, hopefully the dominant rate will not rise again.
70% is insane, I think that's the highest so far in the last 3 years, BTC is still surviving now despite the price is a little bit bearish but what's gonna happen if people will only focus on BTC, it would be bad for altcoins as they also have real used case in the crypto space.

There is a pretty big chance for bitcoin but I don't know about altcoin even though I am very hopeful that it should happen. The price of bitcoin is still on a very good movement even though we have seen it dropped a couple time back to $9k in its bullrun so I think $100k is still on the possibility. There are many catalyst that we have to trigger that and most of all we have China to back it up.

I think a good bull run can be expected no earlier than 2021. This is my inner premonition.

I believe that some people have considered bitcoin bull run because the price has risen quite high since the beginning of the year. however, I don't think that is the maximum, especially with Altcoin.

halving does occur in 2020, there is a possibility that the pump will return at the end of this year. it's just that looking at current market conditions, I think that's not certain. Well, we can see that at the end of the year.

I don't think that we will see a bullrun on alts anymore, for sure not all altcoins are going to die. But i don't think that there will be a generally pump on altcoins happen again like we have seen in late 2017. Partially pumps on some alts with use cases / and good prospects for the future will happen but i don't see anything else at the moment.

Bull run is the most exciting moments for every investor to witness, the 2017 bull run was still fresh for us that's why we are expecting to see a new one.
However, until now, there's no signs of bull run yet because altcoins is not consistent, but I don't think we will not see a bull run again, of course that is still possible but we don't know when it will happen, so if you believe in the word HODL, that's the strategy that would work for now.

No one is opposed to the bull run in 2019 and 2020, but so far I do not see any prerequisites for the cryptocurrency market to turn green.  Even in early 2019, Bitcoin and Ethereum broke away from their minimum performance, but many altcoin did not improve their performance even in April, when Bitcoin began active growth.

This is probably because most people are trying to capitalize on the growth of Bitcoin, Ethereum and top altcoins. More global growth should begin a bit later. But do not think that this will happen so soon. At a minimum, we need to reach a price for Bitcoin at $ 20K.

when growth only belongs to bitcoin then altcoin will be even more destroyed when growth is dominated by bitcoin as it has already happened mid-year. bulls must start from the same gradual growth of the entire market. not just bitcoin or altcoin.

Actually the history of Bitcoin halving events are usually preceded by a large rally first and then when the event draws very near like days,  Bitcoin dumps to around 50% and then it consolidates and then it pumps harder breaking all-time-high prices.

Bull Run only happened to Bitcoin this year, but we still have until the end of the year 2019. Bitcoin dominates the market and Altcoin is experiencing very slow growth. But in the year 2019, it was very good because the market experienced growth. And I think that the year 2020 could possibly be a year for Altcoin.

I hope that this can happen because during the year 2019 can now collect more coins

I'm expecting a bull run between Q4 2019 & Q1 2020. When BTC goes parabolic before the halving, money will flow down into the alts and it will be like Dec-Jan 2017 all over again.

That would be easy it will start to rise this month, last month was not a good month, but good thing now that BTC is starting to rise again.
We will be back again in $10K soon, and I hope it will not again stop and drop back again because if there is no improvement, we cannot expect a bull run this year.

Although we can say that the last 3 months is still enough for BTC to rise, but it would be nice if it will start to rise early as the price has been stuck for a month now. Still, continue to be positive and hold while waiting for the right time to come, the bull run can come faster than what we expected and the moment a new ATH will be created, it's almost a guarantee that the bull run for all will start basing on how people react in the past. 

It is highly likely that the market will return later this year. Since reaching $ 10,000, bitcoin seems to be losing growth. The market faces the bear market again. Now is the time to store as many altcoins as possible and hope to get back what we lost.

my guess it will happen in 2020 or 2021, we know last halving in 2016 and the pump does in 2017.
but for next halving, maybe the situation is different maybe it will be faster or slower or even nothing will happen, depend on condition.

With so many alts and tokens on market it is difficult to guess which will recovery in next bull run. It is impossible to buy even half of them and for sure not all of them will grow. But for sure it is good to buy at least few from top100

I think you underestimate Bitcoin, it's slowing but it doesn't mean that it's losing growth. One good news is all we needed to, and then the price will go on another upward trend.


We have seen worst dump than that, $13,000-$10,000 is not that significant to Bitcoin market. We can sleep tonight and all of the sudden the price goes on a 10%-20% the next day, that's how Bitcoin's volatility is and this is not a cause for alarm.

The fall is good because bitcoin is now more stable, and the good thing is that it recovers and now it seems like it's trying to break some resistance to stay at $11K, we really don't know how strong the support at that level until we break it and stay there.

For now, bitcoin support is so stable at $10K as even if we dropped from $10K but we recovered very fast.
Let's just hope that the 4th quarter is as good as last 2017 so this bull run that we are expecting will take place.

The radiative noise effect is the traditional way to react by the traders if something goes wrong in the crypto market. The price is near the $10450 currently and I think BAKKT is the first reason why we trade in the small pumps recently.  Tomorrow price will likely hit the $10700 before the closing weekly chart in my opinion.

The France government also supported to tax the gains from crypto trading but there is no law to tax the crypto to crypto transfers. If the citizens of France have no purpose to withdraw the profits from the exchange, there will be no tax until this action happens with a local bank. It is like a virus and it spreads faster among the crypto ban law accepted governments.

it's better to invest in Bitcoin or Ethereum, it's safer, because it's difficel to predict that Altcoin will grow in the future, while Bitcoin and Ethereum will be the first to grow when the bull run starts

bull run!!!!!!

But the price didn't hit $10700 instead of pumping the price slowly decreased and I think $10200-$10400 is the current support. That good news from France is amazing, people now are encouraged to do crypto to crypto transactions so that there will be no taxation.

Halving will be next year, therefore we still have a lot of time to achieve a new ATH, it could be this year but it has to be in the last quarter which is least likely to happen. We still have 244 days from now (https://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/), so let's just enjoy the recovery of bitcoin now, and don't expect too much as the right time will just come.

I'm hoping for a bull run in early 2020, but who knows? I just can't believe how long this bear market has lasted.

Quite a long thread, took me sometimes to go through almost all, I just wonder historical stats still matters as Bitcoin and crypto is gaining much more mainstream attention.

Well this year definitely nothing too outstanding not to happen, but next year, personally I'll wait for the bulls. We expect big news on btc and eth. Do not forget about telegram and facebook. All this can lead to a new frenzied excitement.

In my opinion, in 2019, Bitcoin proved to the entire crypto community that it is capable of bull-running, although everyone has already talked about his death. Actually the same picture is happening with altcoins today. Remember - the victory goes to those who know how to wait.

Maybe a slight increase in btc price this year ,the real bull run will start next year with the help of halving also. This year will be the start of bitcoins momentum going straight forward reaching new highs .

What I would advice people about is to buy the rumour and sell the news, to my own knowledge and assessment it seems most people have priced in the the coming halving into the price and we can see Miners also doing this, trying to accumulate as many BTC coin before the halving event. I believe the real bull run would be in 2021 when the scar of 2017/2018 would have healed and people would be more willing to risk their money on crypto

Investors prefer to wait and do not dare to invest big, they are afraid of being hit by a scam because more and more projects are dead, they may need tougher regulations so that they return again.

many predictions have already been said, but almost all predictions are not accurate. so the time when there will be a bull run will be difficult to determine, but it's okay to give an opinion. all can be opinionated about what is happening, but certainty cannot be determined. patience is needed for all this.

I feel that there will be no jump. Coins are not stable. They can’t even keep simple amounts of say $ 300 for ETH. Therefore, by the end of the year I do not expect big improvements in this market. Both for ETH and for other altcoins.

as we know every the beginning of new year market are always going crashed and down deeply.
in my speculation after the halving in enter middle year 2020 maybe bitcoin price are going stable again

Most of the expectation are positive and I can say that is good, we even expect that this year will be a good year for bitcoin since it has recovered and there's still plenty of time left in the 4th quarter of the year.

Bitcoin is a great investment and a great coin, if it will not rise this year based on our expectation, we will likely see a new bull run in the coming year.
As long as we all stay optimistic, nothing is impossible, bitcoin from almost no value reach almost $20,000, and that is something to believe that its legit and it has a potential, it crashed and some thought it will be dead, but it bounce back strong like it always does, so don't loss hope although we don't know when exactly it will have its bull run.

Yes, we see the altcoin prices declined stages have been ended, which we might see the growth of altcoin prices in the coming days. For many days we are observing continuously declining the prices of altcoin which makes me afraid at one stage. The right thing we have to do is patiently wait for the market recovery, which will easily impact on the altcoin prices in the coming days.

About what recovery are you talking guys? The only coin that is doing great is BTC and all altcoins are dying. If the future Bakkt exchange will focus mainly on Bitcoins, it could be the end for altcoins and BTC dominance would be around 80-90 percent.

The Stock to Flow model shows that Bitcoin will increase at steady rate to about $42k within a year and $350K a few years after. There of course will be lots of volatility in between. Bakkt was a sell the news type event, but in the long term the trend is up. Alts likely will slowly grind up as Bitcoin does. When BTC goes to new highs the quality alts will likely approach ATH's again. Some alts my be abandoned by teams that don't have the proper funding. So avoid those.

This forecast is the best dream of all the holders of bitcoin and altcoins, which are now very underestimated. Of course, I still have difficulty imagining that such growth could happen so soon. Most of all, that will have to wait much longer. So, the most patient will receive benefit and profit.

In fact, the market has been dame too big because the launch of Bakkt caused the price of BTC to drop by $ 2k.  Most of this leaves altcoin holders with no hope to invest them for the long term.  It takes a long time for BTC to recover.

Maybe the bull run might happen after the halving or before bitcoin halving but we dont know yet. I think there will be no bull run this year but I know the price might pump the last quarter of the years and there are few days left before the last quarter. Just keep on believing and hoping that the price of bitcoin will not fall down.

I learnt the hashrate has increased and could backdate the halving to April but there are no indication on the site that the hashrate is subjected to any change. No factor in the past bitcoin cycle proves we could have ATH before the halving. What i want is stability in the space, new regulation and prosecution of scammers before and after the halving.

If we don't see a bull run in Q4 2019 - Q1 2020 as the BTC halving draws near, then I don't know when we'll see one.

Your prediction was correct when the Bulls ran for a long time in Q1 and Q2, but until Q3 the bear market appeared. I think it will last until Q4 or will soon recover shortly. How to know exactly that, I believe that the market will improve and happiness will come to us with Christmas.

There will surely be an impact but if you are thinking high then Baktt is sure an example But ofcourse it wont be a Bakkt case for sure but it will help not to take your case so high above ground man Just take it as slow as it goes

yes, in my predictions the bull will coming after the halving even on bitcoin next year mate, remember after not before
so, now is the right time to keeo accumulate the right coins when the price is cheap buddy

It really happened bro but most of this year's bull run is focused on bitcoin and a very few altcoins. I really hope that this is only the first part of bullrun because we still don't have the altseason that we all have been waiting for for almost 2 years. I hope it does not stop when we reach 2020 and the bullrun should be much more aggressive the closer we get to halving.

yes it will easily lead to many investors buying hoarding bitcoins for sale.  Bitcoin halving is really important next year because it can save this bear market.  But one thing I'm worried about is whether investors want to keep pushing the price of bitcoin up.  while Litecoin has also been abandoned after the halving event.  I predict that if next year bitcoin cannot reach $ 14k - $ 16k, it will die just like Litecoin at the moment.

Bitcoin increased nearly 9000% in latest halving pricing so I'm sure it will make a new ath but I don't have much idea how this will affect altcoins. Maybe before the bitcoin bull run, we can see a mini altparty there are many reasons for this.
Also disagree with some of the ideas in the comments unless the 7100 support is broken in the near future we won't see a bear season in the market.
I have an expectation of a rise in Bitcoin but I'm never offering any investment advice for right now because the market is really very moving recently. It is never clear what will happen in the short term

That's a hard task to predict, only good day traders can predict the correct price movement effectively, but when it comes to short term movement, though I cannot assure that bitcoin will rise, actually no one can but I will always remain optimistic on the future of bitocin.

This market was not yet regulated fully, so what we have seen recently which is a big dump has become normal in the market.
And therefore I'm not expecting that any time soon it will be stable as big investments, this is a unique kind of investment where pump and dump is not rare happening in the market.

there were always a bull run when halving comes but nor 100% sure if there will be next year.  becareful of bull trap and chances like this also can make your life turn into something good if you roll the lucky dice..

But if it is a trap then be sure not to invest an amount that youre not  be able to recover soon. hopefully this coming halving will  gives us best result like last time.

i sincerely hope it is sooner than latter because this current market down trend is not easy to watch even though i have seen it before, i am optimistic that after this blood bath something good will follow up, btc has it's own way of surprising people, but that happens, we can all seat back and watch the red market,

Most of the community believe that The bitcoin block reward halving will bring bull run with it. When we checked the previous halving dates, price of BTC go up every time.
Specially after halving increase at prices are more that before halving.
It can be a bull run for BTC for sure.
But what about entire crypto market? How alt coins will react the bull run of BTC?
At last mini bull run of BTC from 3200 USD to 14.00 USD and now taring around 8000 USD, we could not see any alt season. We saw some green days, but when we view the entire period, most of the coins could not catch BTC.
So I am curious about alt season and looking for the answer if alt coins would catch BTC in a bull run of BTC before and after its halving period.

I do not really expect that much from this year in terms of bull run just like we had in 2017 because many people in the world are now knowledgeable about crypto. Some even invested in 2017 thinking its the next gold mine and got burnt. What cryptocurrency need right now Is real use cases and a synergy with the centralized bodies to gradually usher in new adopters who are now confident of their fund security. News of. Bakkt and other bitcoin futures won't be enough any longer

Still waiting, maybe we are sideways for a few more months, then the bull may resume.

How much crypto is live in the market it’s dosen't matter for the next bull run. You can remember since 2017 bull run when BTC price was 20k$+ and ETH was hits almost 1200$ that's why whole of the market huge growing even a lot of dead coin was highest increased. If BTC turn into bull run than all of the alts will be increase i think. Now 2019 is near at the end so i am looking for the next year in 2020.        

Until the cryptocurrency market corrects and gets rid of junk coins, so that the cryptocurrency market capitalization is concentrated only in more popular projects and projects that will have good prospects, we will not be able to hope for good results in the cryptocurrency market.  Until this happens, we will constantly observe sharp fluctuations in cryptocurrency prices and the situation as in 2017 will not happen again.  In addition, you need to take into account the moment that the Bitcoin scaling needs to be improved in any case in order to improve the position of Bitcoin and thereby improve the state of the cryptocurrency market.

I strongly hope that in 2020, the bull market will come out of the crisis and it will start to grow normally, because the cryptocurrency has been in a bad condition for more than a year

still doubt it very much, but yeah who can guess the market is moving according to demand, every halving will reduce the block reward obtained, so there is an opportunity to increase btc and alt, but this year and next year halving I still doubt it, maybe 2 more years.

Bull run in 2017 was still fresh, maybe the market has changed a bit already and the hype is gone.
Well, I like if that is happening as we are now seeing a matured market, more stable market that would give consistent rise is better than a hype where it will dump after the hype, it will only disappoint new investors,.. .let's just wait and hold because that's what we always do.

it might be big news, but who knows, sometimes market movements are unpredictable, for example when LTC experiences halving, there is no significant movement and LTC prices don't pump, maybe news about halving is not like it used to have a big impact on price. and hopefully it doesn't happen to BTC.

People are very positive about the halving and I don't think after halving the price of Bitcoin will not increase. So we might see a dump because with the previous halving experiences, so it is completely unpredictable how far the market will react to Bitcoin halving.

If we look at the cycle of equality with 2017 then I think Bullrun will occur next year and will reach its peak at the end of 2021. In 2017 the price of Crypto to the moon a year after Halving Bitcoin, it means that if 2020 Halving Bitcoin occurs, then in 2021 the price of Cryptocurrency will be to the moon again.

I'm of the opinion that the next Crypto bull run will have more to do with some scary stuff happening in the traditional financial system. I can see some trigger like "breakdown of petrodollar system, unraveling of pension funds or major market decline" that leading to savings taxes or confiscations. I think it will be fear driven.

Furthermore, I guess once the markets mature significantly and Crypto is embedded to real world activities it'll balance out a fair bit, but I expect that will be a plenty of time for another crazy bull run. it's a matter of time, not halving event. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more crazy bubbles in a market that is so massively controlled by ideas about future potential, with easy access and clear fundamentals.

I don't really know about LTC Halving, but when it comes to Bitcoins every investor seems crazy fanatic with halving. We will not see a price pump as soon as the BTC halving will take place. but after that, you need to hold your horses and think of a way to get yourself invest in BTC because a higher rate of the bull run will occur after a few months from that. The real reason why every people are talking about halving because its past history. when it comes, the whole market will pump too.

We cannot compare btc halving to LTC halving as definitely BTC is just dominating in the market.
Any news regarding bitcoin that could possibly change its value for the better is something that could create hype in the space and this coming halving of schedule next year, I am already expecting a price pump would happen, just like the past trends.

I agree here. It was barely two years ago, not even really. That to me is still fresh when thinking in the long term. Why should we be having a bull run so soon after the last one, right? We need bear markets, we also need consolidation markets, so I think this is the time for them right now.

Better to start another bull on a strong footing first!

I think we have already passed the stage of the bull run, when Bitcoin has grown from 3000 dollars to almost 15000 dollars. This multiple growth can be regarded as a Bitcoin rally in 2019. Now all investors hope that in 2020, during the halving of Bitcoin, a new rally will begin. Currently, we see how Bitcoin failed to gain a foothold above 9000 dollars and again fell below 8K. This is a worrying signal, the nerves of investors are at the limit and I think some holders are selling their Bitcoins.

before LTC Halving, Litecoin experienced a pump but could not break resistance, and this made us learn that the halving program could not help prices go up high,
what could help was the news!, and that the pump would occur later, maybe bitcoin would experience the same thing just like Litecoin, we'll see

Basing from the last time halving where after it happened the market jumped that high, It's different from any halving as bitcoin dominates the
entire industry, good news will bring a huge lift and changes from the communities. Expecting another good bounce after this halving or maybe
we can consider before the halving, this last quarter of the year is still interesting to watch out. If you can bag holds more coins for preparation of anticipated bull to come.

It depends on your point of few. Somebody says that we are already in a bull market and that BTC raise from 3k to 10k can already be considered as a success. But the majority is still not happy with outcomes and hopes for a bigger pump.

I do not think that now the cryptocurrency market is in a successful zone for its development. The situation is very bad regarding Altcoin prices. In the cryptocurrency market, Altcoins should be in very large quantities and at normal prices.

altcoin looks weak in the current condition that's I think not right ,the development of their shares market I think still looks normal but some are still in the bearish zone indeed but this is the time to take a shop opportunity mate so it's good enough to see

I was surprised the sentiment didnt actually change through the year, the old investors that understood the trend of market and held to profit from bull run are still able to make a turn over this year. With bitcoin they made 4x from last accumulation especially for those that bought December. Except we see a good pump from altcoin and new fund in the space we may not see the type of bullrun we want. 

Based on last 2 halving, bitcoin always goes pump after halving. halving affects so much in lead increasing price
as far i know, bitcoin price increasing 1 year after halving. So, bitcoin will be pump in 2021

Most of us are waiting for the next bitcoin halving because it might trigger the price to increase. As you can see all bitcoin halving have effect on the price just like what happen in the year 2016 where after the halving you can see the slow rising of the price and in the year 2017 the bitcoin totally go to the moon where it reach the 20000$ so expect that maybe in the end of 2020 or in the year 2021 we might experience again the bull run.

Yes, just like other coins that experienced halving. Price won't up instantly after halving but it will up in months.
So, it's better to us to buy some right after halving

Changes later to bitcoin planned for May 2020 are big changes to bitcoin block where investors will be back excited to invest in crypto, well before prices increase and soar in time we should prepare from now by storing bitcoin at prices that are still cheap

That's the expectation of the people that the price of BTC will eventually rise that time.
of course we will always think that buying now is a good opportunity since the price is very cheap but since that's only an expectation, things could not happen based on our expectation but we should not be losing our hope with crypto since holding is the only solution I find here.

Bitcoin halving is not really make price pump instantly because all people expect so.
The one who can make the market move are the whales, they are making strategies that will make people do panic buy at high price.

So far no bull run, and the charts look grim. Maybe some of this is due to tax loss selling. Here's to a better 2020.

People are highly optimistic about the year 2020 because of the halving. But I dont think halving brings any kind of price rise even when you look at historical charts. I was looking at one analysis where it was written that a year after halving price took parabolic upward trend. But never just after the halving.

The speculation surrounding the halving will certainly bring in some fomo which could lead to some price appreciation but nothing like 2017-2018.

Don't say this kind of situation is bleak. You are like someone new in the crypto market. if you are a trader maybe you can see opportunities rather than gloom. if you are stuck with the value of your assets that continue to fall, it's only a matter of time that will return the value of your assets to capital. but it depends on your patience. bull will still happen, but who knows when it will happen. we can only see all the opportunities and take advantage of them.

hopefully next year 2020 is a year like 2017, with a 5x increase in Bitcoin hopefully can be expected, many traders have predicted a marketcap increase in 2020

Next year should be definitely significant for crypto. If we dont have bullrun like in 2017 than we will see at least big grow in many promising altcoins and of course Bitcoin.And Bitcoin halving is a good reason for this

Bull run for 2019 should be appear from onward but if it will not run as conjecture then 2020 should be seeing some steady move from April 2020 ,

Thanks

2021 is more realistic than 2020 that's for sure. Don't expect prices to react to halving quickly. It will take some time for the reduced income to make any difference on the prices. It's not like all of the coins are being dumped anyway and its nothing compared to overall trading volume.

More optimistic today, seeing market conditions getting better. The price of bitcoin rise by around $ 700, from the price of $ 6500 yesterday
it is now at the price $ 7200. And great again followed by an increase in the price of altcoins. I am increasingly convinced entering 2020 there
will be a bull run as predicted by many people. There really is an influence from the existence of a halving event that will occur mid 2020, if
you want to be more sure you can look at history. That the previous two halvings that occurred in 2012 and 2016 could make the price of bitcoin
and altcoin go up. So from that the third halving are likely to be able to repeat that history.

Oh, I have patience, and will ride this out as I have seen many ups an downs in the last 5 years, but a 2 year bear market takes a toll.

we can assume that bitcoin will soon again become a highly profitable instrument, due to the policies of European states, for example, in Germany BTC has been equated with means of payment, and since 2020, German banks will receive the right to store bitcoin.

There is no question if prices go up and down but what is a big problem is that the project always deceives everyone who has participated in it. if they are successful, I don't think everyone will complain like this.

A lot of question about that just like is that a manipulation or not? Not all of the projects deceived the investors but the scam project does it. the investors in the successful project will not complain about that but sometimes it can be a trader who has been getting trapped by the market too. It's not about investor only.

Which completely shows the long term potential of cryptocurrencies as they slowly invade mainstream financial services. Do not fear the bear market, it is irrational and overblown already. Treat each dip as a buy opportunity.

Personally, I don't think there will be any bull run in 2020, because the market is at the bottom now and it is unlikely that it will recover so quickly.

not at the beginning of the year but I believe the beginning of Q2 or the end of Q1 there will be strong movements in the market. although it will not rapidly rise there will be a beginning where market growth will gradually occur.

the last bull run happened in 1 year after halving. if the next year will be same, it would happen in 2021
But, for reaching that, at least the next year have to be positive market. if not, bullrun in 2021 wouldn't happen

Bitcoin already get pump 2x from the last ATL, Im sure that's a sign that bull run can happen again
Just prepare to get another Bull run.

I do really wish and hope that after the Bitcoin halving next year, the market will get into bull run once again. If not bull run next year, well at least let the market get into the positive or upward direction after the halving event. I do really hope and strongly believe that the upcoming event will trigger something good to happen within the market so all of us will benefit right into this. At year 2020 I do expect something really good will show up to ease the long wait and make it worth it for all the patience we did not to be tempted to sell those potential assets we have hold for a while and make it useful and beneficial for all of us who have make it all throughout the way to surpass the challenges of this market.

I'm definitely thinking that bitcoin's halving is going to have some effect on its price, but it's going to be a few more months until we find out. 

If and when bitcoin gets into another bull type situation, it should be beneficial for altcoins.  Maybe not all of them, but it will be a very good thing for the bigger ones like Eth, litecoin, and all of the more established ones with larger market caps. 

It's been too long since any of us has tasted a bull market, and I'm champing at the bit for a little taste.  Usually bull markets work in cycles and the market has to be totally dead before a new bull is born.  I'd say it's about time.

it's not and there is no correlation with the tax-loss selling. the bullrun already happened a few months ago but what are you saying if that has never happened before? bitcoin has been going back from 4k to the 14k just in a short time dude. remember it and what you are saying is not true at all

How to choose a good project if all are very similar and very different. It becomes very confusing for everyone to choose what they have to do. If next year does not change, then see one by one it will just leave.

well i really think that the halving will be a positive thing
if not before the halving , it'll for sure be a good thing a year after the halving
why? because Grayscale and Square are already buying a big share of the BTC that issued, if it cuts by half Square and Grayscale will buy a very big share hence price will go up because there are many investors too like always.
i think in 2021 we will have another BTC bubble.

It is pure manipulation, without doubt, the weak hands already have left the crypto market. The new challenges also don't attract the investors, the illiquid market conditions cause a sharp decline in the prices, I think the next year will be interesting to watch the market movement. BTC enthusiasts predict a Bullrun but it looks like a hard challenge due to the recent market conditions.

So I am from germany and there are some pretty big banking institutes and minor banks that plan to offer bitcoin for their customers. IF this really hapens it might cause a pretty big bull  run imo

Can you meantion one of those banks? I never heard if they are interesting to offer bitcoin as one of their service. So many banks have already started their own crypto and that doesn't make sense to see that. I hope that could be true but it looks like something missing from there because i can't see that on the mainstream crypto news site. is it true?

Waiting for the bulls to run, only in 2021-20200, as now the market is almost at the bottom and it is unlikely to recover in 2020.

I'm sure the Bitcoin halving in May will be a big bullish signal especially if Bitcoin breaks $7900 to $8000 resistance level. This will push Bitcoin into $9500 territory and early speculators will begin piling into altcoins.

Woah, Bitcoin is now around $7,500, a little push to $7,900 and then beyond $8,000 is a long time dream come true. I can feel the excitement in the air now while bears are starting to show signs of disbelief.

Crypto bull run can start at any time. It has no fix time and there may be no bull run after coin halving (majority believe this). We have a bull run going right now, it may turn violent or may go down at any time. Point is there is no one who can accurately predict about bitcoin future price. You have to decide yourself when to buy and when to sell.

Whooa! I'm excited. The market is positive and only few altcoins are losing. I cannot assume that this is what we are waiting for but at least we are seeing good price movement. If bitcoin reaches $8,000, who knows we have a real bull run here. Wishful thinking. ;D

We are at the decision point... Up beyond $9K or back to $6K?

   Speculators will speculate, holders will hold. Take it as you like, but Bitcoin is at decision point all the time. People ask the same question
over and over again where is Bitcoin heading from this point? People apply different strategies in trading, everyone have some prediction,
to be honest I'm tired from reading all that, why to bother myself with those predictions and daily fluctuations?
   Can we agree about one thing, Bitcoin is going over $20k? That will happen one day, people can try to trade and earn more, but they can
lose too! Holders will not lose!

I like this prediction, slowly is good because eventually there will be a bull market like what happened in the past, price would swing much but in overall it will result to a bull run and will again give us a positive surprise. People who hold much longer will certainly enjoy this kind of success because they'll  be able to dispose their btc with a good profit.

I'm expecting the same, same with last time's trend, if BTC would reach a new ATH, so do the Altcoins.
