What's your opinion on this?? Bitcoin seems too be accumulating value since Tuesday morning... the bull is here.. ?? Or it's bait??

keep thinking positively because what I know of today is that BTC has the highest volume all the time in 24 hours.
and it is not impossible that this is a good sign that a bullrun will come.

I remain optimistic and just looking at the market. Didn't have to do some crazy thing such as selling all I've got, I'm still hopeful for higher gains but I know this is dangerous for others. Becoming greedy at these times can also push me to the pit but I'm aware of that.

Trap or not, just keep on accumulating and look for a better scene in the future. I'm very interested to see such gains that can happen for 2020 after the halving by that time. We saw this gain and we're all excited with that, how much more during the upcoming months and years?

I'd like the bull to finally come finally, but I voted not sure because it's too early to tell it's just three days, it could go down again, we can only tell if it continues after three weeks or a month of a continued rise in price.

Just like before when everyone FOMO in and buy BTC in ATH :D They should learned their lesson by now and to start accumulating more BTC while its cheap.

if we see on the peak 20k$, it's really cheap now.   ;D so we should not FOMO, keep buying!!!  ;D

FOMO it is, the current fees and inflated mempools tell it all (if you're into non-trading statistics).

I honestly didn't expect that almost 5k surge and didn't bought at 4ks.
Actually, I sold some yesterday and expecting a correction, there's no news that's can cause this price surge (perhaps, Luke's April Fools BIP (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5126732.0)?).

It just a small manipulation from the exchange to make the users get fomo'd and get bought bitcoin and putting all their money to bitcoin.

No one can really assure what is happening right now, most of us still assuming and hyping this current rise, it's a tough position for old investors who already sold their assets during the bearish downfall, seeing some green can't motivate them to invest back as fear of losing will be the thing inside their minds, it's need to be more extra careful.

a "dead cat bounce" doesn't last this long, price should have already dropped down to $3100 if it was really one of them. additionally a "dead cat bounce" requires a "dead cat" to bounce and bitcoin is not dead unless YOU think otherwise!

this is not a FOMO either, not exactly anyways. there is obviously some FOMO in every rise but a real FOMO would be if price went up to $7000 not from $4100 to $4700 which was a 14% rise. and that is only 4% higher than the amount that we usually consider daily fluctuations!

After what happened in the late 2017, early 2018 I don't think that people are so naive again and get in the loop of fomo.
Of course, there will be some that will be afraid that they are going to miss the chance of getting rich and start buying again but I can't see that portion be so big in order to make us reach a new all tie high.

Not yet in FOMO stage, this is just a small bounce, we are repeatedly dump last year, and we are just bouncing back.
Let us not overreact, try to remember where we from before this current price.
Obviously the FOMO could happen if BTC would rise to double digit, like $10,000, as it's a significant increase.

Just minimal FOMO, I think. The price should keep spiking, but if have noticed it, it will jumped above $5000 and then settled down. If FOMO is in, the price could literally sliced $5000-$6000 in just a couple of days. Right now it looks like its running out of gas so there is no FOMO, or at least those who FOMO gets tired easily and will just wait for the next day to ride the hype train again.

I think yes, some FOMO is but not so high until now, and is good that we see a little grow, but i'm not sure this is the sign for a bull run and we need to wait more to see how is going this month (up or down or stable).

I would say FOMO somewhat reached the market once more, though I don't believe that this will be easily converted into a full-on bull run as the foundations for a solid upward movement isn't there yet. Everyone just got triggered to buy since someone intentionally dropped a huge buy order on the market, and initially thought that everyone was already making the buy rounds while in reality, it seems like just a single entity did it all. Perhaps this is a good sign that something is up, and the recent steep rise is a confirmation to that.

I'm active on a lot of platforms (youtube, reddit, twitter,) and I see a lot of FOMO starting to form.  People are really optimistic about this next bull run and are scrambling to buy.  Also with the halving not too far off we will see a rush to accumulate btc before the next drop in inflation.

Think of it as a FOMO= lose your money.

I am inclined to believe that we found a new bottom at $ 5000 and from it a stabilizing point for a short period of time.

The probability of going back to $ 3,000 is not quite as the reason for the hike is normal because There is no historical resistance barrier for $ 4,000. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5127119.msg50418762#msg50418762)

There are still some indications to go back to $ 3000 but I do not think we will be at $ 4,000 for long periods.

Keep HODLing: The moon is near.

Either it is FOMO or not, we should have to be prepared for any possibilities that will happen next. It sometimes we think this as a trap but still no basis for it. Maybe we should have to do now especially for new investors is to observe the current flows and not just getting in touch directly.

Overused phrase!   way overused, that bounce happens after a great fall and when was the last great fall.   Its been a while, the autumn or December was that and a bounce of some type could be labelled a kitty cat at that point.
Right now its what I would describe as recovery, a retrace of the fall and the market checks the prices are accurate in this area.   The reason for this is volume, when a price moves more rapidly its likely to be weaker then pricing outside this area so this might be called accumulation. 
 All the way upto 6500 we are going to have a market and exchanges, speculators even longer term holders debating via supply and demand to discover if price should be nearer to 6500 or should we check 3500 levels or less.

The higher the price, the more supply should in theory be unlocked I guess.   Theres also ongoing events in the background with complexity of mining, large transactions or the mt.gox coins moving about and perhaps bullish uses for coins or new websites to engage and utilise the network.

  All that will key in but its not just a lifeless bounce, its an interaction not an over reaction :)     Also Fomo is over done, I do hope BTC has more depth

I still think positively about the current events, even though we actually still don't know whether this is really a bull or just bait. but judging by the price has gone up a few percent, I am optimistic we will go through the increasing days.

I had busy days and wasn't checking bitcoin price but got message from bitcoin service provider I use that prise has risen up to 15% in last 24 hour. Despite the fact that it was 2 April, I thought it was 1 April fool and received message lately, lol but wait, that was right and now price is 5K, really amazing.
If price will fall following days, than not fomo but I will call it 1 April joke in anyway.
Well seriously, hope this is push bitcoin needed to rise.

I don’t want to see it as a bait yet until I watch it close to see if the price trend will change, so we quickly know what to do and not fall for the bait, that is why I am keeping my eyes really focused on technical analysis and also looking out for the fundamentals that will proof us right or wrong,

But aside analysis, my personal opinion is that the bull run is here and has come to stay which will continue to gradually increase again from this point we are now as regard the value till we experience t bull run again, this is how I see the trend Bitcoin will continue to follow till next halving which will set our feet on the major price.

Try to enjoy the moment as we know it is not certain bullrun. The absence of a big reason behind the increase makes it difficult for us to give an opinion about its continuity.

Many thinking this will follow some short profit taking, without anything truly behind this that's tangible, I'd say we do some profit taking and a short dip.  Be interesting to see what happens after that first spike down when it comes.

It seem the fundamentals are finally having positive impact on the price, after the trigger of the mystery purchase 48hrs ago, we received some news on SEC guidelines regarding crypto,bring some clarity to crypto.Of course,people are bound to FOMO on this.Hopefully the momentum continues
https://www.coindesk.com/the-sec-just-released-its-crypto-token-guidance?

Most are assuming the bull run is yet to start or already started. Of course it is possible but i chose to remain neutral and don't expect too much. It's not that I'm not optimistic or positive thinker, of course I do. But isn't it every increase, they are saying the same thing. But tbh this increase we are currently experiencing seems different I guess.

Don't expect to much, you can still your bitcoin on your wallet but sometimes you have to see the market movement. This increasing price has ever happened in a few months back, but it wasn't takes a long times. I haven't saw the signs bull run has been coming and I just curious when I read an information that stated the price bitcoin will have minimum price $50.000, it would be good if this information was believed by everyone.

We still have the chance to reach that level so you’re right, we have to keep buying. The current pump might be because of FOMO but for sure we will go beyond this level no matter what. Bitcoin price is not on its best level, this can be a trap or what but only small dump will happen because we have to fly high now.

Going for "Not sure" on the poll.

This had always in my mind and experience how many times on these kind of bull traps.The important thing is that i do able to utilize these movements to make profits
rather than thinking if its already the start of the bull run or market reversal.

Its inevitable that someone will not FOMO. Yet, everyone is still in awe. This isnt even a dead cat bounce, because Its a few days already and we have still in this price level, Infact It keeps coming back to above $5k.
Many are still in confusion on whether this is a start of a bull run or just another trap.

As we can in the poll above many people are not sure if it's time to say that bull run is here even me it's hard to predict it, and I'm still not sure if it's the increase will totally a bull run. Just observe the market for now I'm not so hurry to sell everything.

You can call it what you want, but what is important is that we were able to reach $5k and we will stay that price.
Too early to say this is FOMO, but possibly what is happening is already a bull run.

this hasn't been the biggest FOMOs in history of bitcoin, it is more like the smallest one but it has traces of FOMO in it. in the end the only thing that matters is that the reverse-bubble is bursting now and price is going back to the "correct" price and the more we stay above $5k and move up the stronger this movement is getting. the only problem is that going back to $6k means about a 100% rise which can slow things down due to day traders selling.

Not sure about this, but maybe some people get FOMO and then make this thing realized. Bitcoin price increased a lot only in short time is sometime because people who do panic buy and then followed by others.

We cannot avoid that, there are people who got FOMO as they have been waiting for the price to recover, and that now they see it, they will surely but it.
BTC has no rise a lot, instead it did the opposite, so this bull run that we are seeing, is new for them.

You are right. I called that small bull run because if when bull run happens, we can see so many altcoins will trying to increase together and not one by one. The crypto will rise together, and the market will make a recovery, and it does not take too long to reach the very highest price. But still, we are still in the beginning phase of the bull run, so we need to wait for a while. And if we can take the profit, I think it is better to take those profit before it's down again.

That's a smart move for short term investors, whenever you are in profit you should not be greed.
If we are still holding now, we already made at least 20% profit, and that is good enough for short term alone, if this will dump, then re buy again.

You sure about that? We saw the first pull back in the price yesterday, when it went down from 5.3k to sub 5k, now it seems to be recovering from 4.9k to 5k...But I wouldn't be surprised if we go back down again.

It's not too early to say that there's (or was) FOMO surrounding the market, the gradual increase in the price over the past few days is an indicator that there was indeed some fomo as buyers were desperately buying coins and kept pumping the price. However, it is too early to call this a 'bull run', there's a bullish sentiment, sure, but we're far from a bull market.

If it was other altcoins, I would have joined in saying price will dump again but for BTC, no one can really predict, one will be shocked to see that the price may never dump again and continue to rise higher, which may now cause the investor that had already withdraw at 20% to have FOMO and end up buying at higher price which will still be the same as holding.

Because, I am sure that that high price is buying would have already gulp the 20%. In other not to get into this confused state, what I did recently was to take profit on half of my coin leaving the other half to walk along with the magic BTC will perform.

The bull is definitely here, there will definitely be FOMO in the air by the end of 2019. I predict we’ll see seriously bullish action as we near the halving.

I agree, the possibility of Bullish market is huge now.  As I said, panic seller are almost gone, those who sold probably are trying to short thinking that  price will go down, but the sentiment is quite bullish. If we see series of higher lows, then the possibility of FOMO is high.  If you check the history, there is always series of higher lows during bull run and before Bitcoin make a huge increase in price.

Lol. Keep telling yourselves that guys. Bulls are probably making bets whether we'll bite the fomo or not. I highly doubt that it's the bulls doing and we're already im the bull market. It's neither the bulls nor the bears now. At least we're done with the bear trend.

Its a bullish market and it'll still be bullish if we pull back to 4600 or so but people focus a little too much on the short term.     The only real thing that matters is the peak of the prices rising or not and also the low of the price, are they rising regularly also.    That is occuring but its only been like 2 months so dont jump the gun.

Right this moment its closer to the series of peaks, I will be more bullish when it retains the rising lows and we are near there but overall people are less optimistic when price falls a bit.   Ironic because the price being less is the time more to buy then price risen already like is true right now

I think we will see many green days the next 5-6 weeks, it seems like people are buying bitcoins in exceptions that some major news will be announced at the bitcoin consensus in may. And even if we don't see any major news, the bull run doesn't have to stop, with just one year left before next halving we most likely have seen the bottom already.

Yea, I feel a lot of persons FOMOed already as the spike in bitcoin seem to have coincided with SEC issuing some guidelines as regard ICO. Trade volumes were at an all time high,even better than values we had at the last bull market. We may see more FOMO is the price grows higher.

I'm not sure what is exactly happening with bitcoin and what is the reason of its sudden raise.
Do any of you saw like a new that bitcoin raise due to some guy invested a, lot in it on the 1st of April. Does it sounds trustworthy for you?

I believe that this sudden jump is legitimate, because in reality I think that things in the crypto ecosystem are not going as bad as the market seemed to be indicating. However, I am not so optimistic to think that an aggressive bullish trend has started, and we should be ready to see new ATH soon. Rather, I think that this jump was a readjustment in the face of very undervalued prices, and possibly the market will stabilize again for many weeks until the next jump.

Yes its been there . bull run did already started after the price reach 4k usd and now the bull is getting bigger and better , this triggers fomo to some .  speaking of fomo , fomo is already been there even before when cryptos are in their bear state  .  cryptos are too good to resist  .



yes its legit because what you see is what you get  .  once the price rise its rising but its it falls , it falls and that is normal because there lots of users that will sell thier coins . there is no such thing as bull  imo .

Well according to Google trends, it has the 2nd highest interest since November 2018 crash. Since November was a bearish month, I think there was no FOMO there because people were scared to invest.

So maybe this will get the ball rolling and create another FOMO event. However I am thinking it will be a repeat of April 2018 where we got that $1000 day and then kept going higher and higher and higher, and everybody assumed we would hit $10K, and we came close but never broke above it.

It was a bad month because it was a huge bull trap and left many investors with huge losses when it went lower the following month later.

Either way, if history is to repeat itself then we should rally for at least 2 more weeks. Especially the alts like BCH and ETH.

I thought April 2018 was about the tax year and people booking gains for tax purposes, this effect culminating around this time and then allowing a relief rally

Of course this year we have a different stance, the main sell in the autumn coming from other factors; I think stronger dollar and higher rates had some influence as it did with stocks also.     Into April we dont have large gains to book in and maybe that effect isnt there in the same way.     It would be confusing if this were the high for now but my main take for 2019 is not very large gains, I think we continue to deal with the 6500 area and also must turn around the 200 day average which is slow to do

Theres news of SEC guidelines for IPO and other similar crypto factors, though its largely a warning some take it as compliance on crypto being a long term factor in finance.

I doubt that this is the bull run, because the rising is a bit suspicious and the price keep on going up in this few days, this is a great moment after a long bear market but I still think this is a bait, I am hoping that I am wrong, but there are nothing that trigger this rising, so I think there will be a correction soon

FOMO has to come during a serious price increase, which is what we're starting to see right now.  It's still way too early to tell if this is something serious brewing or whether the bump was just one whale (or a group of whales) buying a ton of bitcoin.  If that's the case, there's not going to be any real support for the price, and it could drop back down--who knows.  But as far as FOMO goes, there has definitely been some of that.  It'll always happen when bitcoin jumps 25% in a matter of days.  Everyone expects it to just keep rising and missing out sucks. 

I don't think fear is a good emotion when dealing with investments, and I try not to let it affect me.  It's gotten much easier the longer I've been into crypto, because I've seen some crazy-ass price swings in that time, and I realize that I'm not going to be missing out on much in any given week or even a month if I don't buy in (or sell). 

FOMO is a beautiful aroma but I don’t quite smell it yet. Expect real FOMO to come a few months after the next halving when the price will probably break $10,000 again.

the bull is back actually but probably not good for long run because more people now start spreading false information about this improvement," just to intimidate buyers especially holders" . Actually i don't know the real reason behind of some FUD's wherein why they are always want bitcoin is down probably its a big opportunity for them to ride or to buy in cheap prices again. .? I'm wondering to be honest because mostly want bitcoin to go up but fuds want to end it immediately.  Lol but yes their tricks is very affective even though it didn't have enough proofs and etc.

I'm sure that with how people expect the price to go up in one straight line, they'll wonder why the price didn't rocket up after the block halving, while in reality we have gone up a lot in advance of the event already. What investors do is front run the actual event, then potentially sell the news. It happened the previous time as well, people literally asked when the price will go up.

Things will get worse this time with how the current layer of adoption is worse than the previous one, and it will comtinue to go south after every bull run where we're coming closer and closer to the most trashy layer of mainstream adoption. These baboons don't care about anything that gives Bitcoin value. They just want to see the price go up 100% before the end of the week.

No, I don't think that even FUD will stop those who FOMO right now. Even in a bull run there will be negative news, but investors doesn't give a s**t, because they know it can't hurt the market because of the huge expectations.

And it looks like there are those who don't want to miss the train. Jumping on-board again as the price keeps going up. Actually it has broken another mental barrier, $51xx and remain relative stable.

Who knows? It might be some bull trap or just a small start of the bull run. All we could do is to hope and wait, what could be the markets plan to us traders and hodlers. Just a little bit of waiting and i think there is something that pushes the price of Bitcoin to continue to grow. I'm glad someone did since it will save the market from drowning to the bottom.

It could be a nice kick starter to gain some more positive vibes for crypto in general and to keep a rising line on the chart with more events/spikes like this. There is always a part that only buy to ride the wave but those sell the quickest most of the time.

i wouldn't call this a FOMO anymore because it seems to me like the confidence has come back to the market and people who were either scared of more drop or greedy for it, have stopped waiting around (most of them anyways) and are not starting to slowly buying more bitcoin before they miss out the chance of buying it at these low prices (in 4 digits). and that is why we still are seeing the constant rise every day and the current price is nearly $5300

Hush now, don't let the people hear/see/smell/feel you. I think Mr Binance CEO probably jumped the gun when he used that F-word, he seems like the new McAfee in some ways, the way people seem to play tag with his catchwords. Gotta say, the numbers are all there, and so are the fundamentals. But it still feels like too soon. I know it's FOMO when some of the supposed ex-supporters change their mind again. That could be around the corner, could take a year still. Waiting for that 1 tipping point.

what people publicly say is of no significance. they say all kinds of crap publicly while doing a completely different thing in their privacy. those "ex-supporters" you have in mind have already been filling their bags with bitcoin while price was much lower than this at the bottom while shouting their doomsday predictions of $1000 and less. and these McAfee type people who constantly talk about bitcoin are only advertising their own business in social media, after all that is how they pumped their useless centralized token last month.

To me the bull is here and it is not FUD or FOMO.  We can see steady grow in bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies market price since the middle of last month and it is still growing.  Bitcoin may cross $6000 this week and it means if you have bitcoin you should keep holding it. 

the price is growing but its not steady because the price falls and it recovers again after a day or two  . this is a bull run for me , i dont know if what others are thinking  .  like what you have said . bitcoin may cross 6000 usd but that does not means that everyone will be hodling thier coins  because this price point that we currently experience is already a good oppurtunity for some to sell thier coins because they bought thier coins at a lower rate  .  those people that continue hodling are maybe greedy or they just bought thier coins at a much higher price  .

If the price does not move on a natural way that can be associated because of the FOMO.
Well, hopefully you are correct that BTC would reach $6,000 anytime soon as that was the price where I thought BTC already dip.

although not reaching $6000 right away is no indication of FOMO or anything like that but i have to say we are already seeing a lot of positive signs in the market that is a pointing towards the recovery that we were waiting for ever since price went below $6k a couple of months ago. and from there we can be sure of the beginning of the next bull run to reach $100k+ in 1-2 years.

It's all very confusing especially if you haven't been long in the market yet. There have been movements like this not long ago when people are already screaming bull run after a good rise in value, only to get themselves disappointed with a correction that brought them back to where they started. Fomo can easily turn to panic with a single fud and a steep correction.

yeah, some social media monitoring bots bought this maybe...  ;D

Which side are you mate ? Because, I don’t seem to get you, are you for Bitcoin or against Bitcoin? How will the people filling their pocket with bitcoin still shouting a prediction of $1000 or less, what would they stand to gain, if you say the have filled their pocket with BTC, then they must have filled it when the price was way above $2500, so I don’t see the sense in them predicting a further decline for it if they have accumulated more.

MCafee, whether he is promoting his own coin or not, the most important thing is that whatever positive thing they still say has so much effect on BTC, they have believer and loyalist who would believe anything they say and I believe that whatever mcafee predicted must have created FOMO in one or 2 persons that made them invest.

It is neither a bull run nor a bait, it is a recovery process from the bottom position we were in and that is how the market is, just take a look back at the market rallies in both directions and you will understand how long it takes for the recovery process to get to the bull run, it might need a year to see the real bull run, until then we will see the market recovering and will have small corrections in between and wait for the market to touch another all time high valuation in a couple of years. :)

You smell the meal before its cooked and ready to sit down to eat  :P, is all I would say really.    I think its going to need to stew just a bit more to really be on the boil.    Outside of my corny food analogy I would still be describing this as a digestive structure to the market move, its just the most likely next stage to occur.   Its not a negative to revise previous price movement, as we saw in 2017 it fell back often but it was in fact still very bullish while doing so.    

There is alot of space for price to be retracing and restocking before continuing up.   I only expect it to be clashing swords at the 6000 heights right now if market was seriously misplaced or caught off guard by news of developments, of some clearance on ETF and so on.  Its possible but I think for now its stewing

yeah  i pushed all my 2017 gains into 2018  via rise of inventory holdings .  I then sold off in  late 2018  taking a break even year.  This year I am expanding holdings as I am bullish and I am merely reinvesting my 2017 gains.

My vote would be I don't care if it is bull yet.

Oh! You made me look to CMC to check the price (it's been a while) and I can't believe it, the graph rise so high. What an uptrend :o. For me it can be considered a bull run already but the question is how long will it lasts?

Hmm, if you can invest now then do it because you might regret if you didn't :D. Take risk if you can afford, who knows it will rise further and make lots profit from it. If I just have an ectra money right now, I will definitely convert it to btc without any hesitation because I can feel that the market is now in continuous recivery.

This is really simple, there are investors out there that are making statements against bitcoin and yet they are investing millions of dollars in it, they are doing this because they expect that the price of bitcoin goes down during the short term and they can get a better price for themselves, while this may not seem to make sense during the short term it makes sense when you look at it from a long term perspective, they are expecting that the price of bitcoin will eventually recover which will make their profits even greater in the future.

Though we cannot guarantee that investing now would give profit, but like you I would also suggest to invest as this could be the last time
we will see a cheap price. Not everyone are already convince that it's a bull run already, some might think it could be a trap, but I hope they will see this opportunity and will stop doubting what bitcoin is capable of.

Being optimistic in the market, I can say that the bull is here and having a jump from $4100 to $4600 to $5000 is a good start. But, I guess that if btc will continue this, this will serve us great profit for our trades especially those people who bought below 4000. Regardless of the FOMO, I think that we should not put our mind about it since everytime is always an opportunity for us to make trade in btc. Because Btc and alts will just go up in the future.

just because bitcoin is going up and has a solid future it doesn't mean altcoins do too.
you can check out the altcoin graveyard to understand what i mean. most of the altcoins that exist today are already on a death spiral and many of them that got pumped in 2017 are already dead specially the ICO tokens. and the rest are following them into the grave while being replaced by newer shitcoins.

This might not be considered as good omen for loyal investors on Bitcoin but on things for sure there are little to nothing advertisements about bitcoin for these past months and that infact scares me why? Because how could you feel the FOMO if you already forgot Bitcoin or lose the interest on watching every now and then.

It keeps going up. FOMO is there. I wouldn't be surprise if all are going to be buying in the next few months, history might just repeat it self again like what happened last 2017. But then it might just be a hell again after the bullrun because when bulls are going to take profit, prices will once again plunge itself to the ground maybe even deeper.

Bart Simpson shape is just around the corner. We may have the bull trap or not. I am not sure what is going to be next.

The ones voting for bull run or bull trap: can you please lend that crystal ball for an hour or so?

Before a hard down happen then exit and take profit like what whales will do like what you said FOMO is always on the market I believe also in this statement because when people saw a good run on bitcoin then they fallow the flow and buy bitcoin, if this pump up continue for a weeks I guaranty to you bulls are back and take in to action.

These are not the proper answers honestly, you gave people just three options whereas there is a whole lot more to understand from this increase. First of all we need to observe the increases a bit more to understand what it could be, it could be bull or not but its going to depend on what it will do from now on. If it keeps going up than it means yeah this is a bull, if it goes back down than yeah a dead cat bounce, it all depends on what comes next.

However, if you ask me there should be a "this is a small bull run" option as well, its not a normal bull run where it goes x10 or something but its also not a dead cat bounce neither (that is only few percent usually), so this is neither a full on bull but nothing ordinary neither that is why I like to call it a "small bull" or even "calf" if you will.

I would say that OP doesnt have an idea on whats a Dead cat bounce. This should be fitted or be said when we are heading down to sub 4k price on previous months but not this time.We arent seeing
this price movement behavior thats why its really misleading.We cant really say that this is a bull run but it already showing up some upward movement which we can presume that it is but detecting if its just
an another bull trap is hard.

I seriously believe what you have just said, it clear to me kind of that most 2017 altcoins aside the ones at the Top list on coinmarket, seems to be dead to me already as they are not even showing any sign of bull trend even with this short BULL that saw some few altcoins increase in price.

The only reliable coin now is Bitcoin and probably we can consider some of the TP 10 coin in the market, for those old coins to witness any increase again, the developers if still existing will seriously need to work add to revive those coins, so for now, except many people are buying altcoins for short term trade, will advise they invest more on BTC.

This seems very obvious to me and yet it seems a great number of members of the community do not understand it, when the next bull market appears it is obvious that coins like bitcoin, ethereum and litecoin will go up in value but most of the coins that exist in the market today are going to disappear before that happens and if for some reason some of those coins survive they are not going to go up in value because they will be replaced by a new generation of useless coins that are only used to speculate in the market.

I hope you have enough experience not to be wrong about this as all we want that to see so much waited bull market, it was difficult to hold and hope finally our patience will be rewarded by the bull and give us some good profit lets wait and see ,i want to see only green market after this and no red  at all.

Anything too obvious I doubt because the market is built to predict the obvious and its never that easy to be ahead of the markets prediction thats already in the price.    Standard phrase to speculation is buy the rumour but sell the news, so news service is important part of Financial trades and so crypto I think people must keep track of bullish possible events.

I dont think anything is too obvious with crypto.  Any tradable asset with fear in it and people avoiding it from capital investment due to possible loss will run be profitable to hold, so long as those holders are correct in the positive growth scenario outcome occurring

It is not possible for us to continue see green market because the market move in faces and because of that sometimes corrections and bearish trend is an opportunity to buy at the lower price.  I think we are going to have more of the green than red this days.

well you shouldn't compare this time with all those times.
those previous cases you are mentioning here where people shouted bull run was when price went up a small amount like 5% and didn't even break any kind of resistance.
but this time the rise was big and we have broken multiple major resistances. from $3100 bottom to $5500 is already a 77% rise. if that is not a bull run i don't know what else is!

This time it again gives us the opportunity to buy with it's short dump.
It has not continued and we are still stable at $5,000, there is no FOMO yet, we are going to that but it's not happening yet.
I like to see this kind of situation, a little dump and will be followed by the big pump.

I believe the best course of action for something like this would be to wait and see. We have seen the price increase like hell in the previous week and now we see it not go up (and even go down a bit, a lot on alts actually) so its time to wait what the next move is. If you see it go up again and go up a lot than you can be certain that its the bull we were looking for and we are going up a lot, if its not that and it goes south back to 4 thousand dollar levels than we can assume this was not the bull we waited for.

Nonetheless, always keep it in your mind that not all increases and decreases are bulls and bears, sometimes the market just moves up and down and not all of them have to be called bull or bear, its just ups and downs and that happens in financial world all the time.

I think so it was accumulate as well. That's why today we have seen pull back almost $500. Although its recovering slowly. That's why I am not supporting sudden pump. Slow growth always best for bitcoin. There is low chances for huge dump if growth is healthy. Seems bitcoin trying to stay above $5K and this point is signal of next bull if incase not dropped much more. I believe it's very important to break $6K zone for next bull run in my opinions. Let's hope and wait till break $6K.

Well, in the long run only the coins which have strong projects at the back end will survive and the P&D coins will cease to exist. As the market become more mature and  less volatile, people will leave the shitcoins and hold only the good coins which have some use cases in the real world scenario.

Waiting and see when the BTC price is pumping and going in for a steady run is not the best strategy.. Buying small amount of BTC that is best suited for your budget or setting aside a bitcoin savings every pay day is the best way to avoid FOMO' in.

Like what you said, only see bitcoin get pumped will make our mental get down and FOMO will easily come to us. If we buy even only a little, we not miss chance to get high price of bitcoin and then sell it.

FOMO has been instrumental in making great things happen before the big bull of all time in cryptocurrency. There are people around who invested due to fear of missing out because people had been making big money in cryptocurrency and it was worth investing back then.

Right now, FOMO for me was about a month ago in cryptocurrency when Bitcoin was very down and the opportunity was worth availing.

FOMO might be just in the corner waiting for the right time and so to have any victims. It is usual thing to happen in this form of investment cause not all of us have that strong perceptions towards crypto and some of us in here thinking of easy money.
I'm afraid I could be caught with FOMO before but lucky I'm out into that, listening to some advice maybe greatful.

FOMO will again fuel the growth of bitcoins and other alt coins. As of now there's not much FOMO going on, when BTC reach 7K or 8K many will start jumping in the money train.

FOMO has different degrees, like pretty much everything else! it doesn't have to be a 1 million percentage rise to be considered a FOMO ;)
for example what we had when price surged upwards to $5500 recently was a good example of a moderate size FOMO where people who were waiting for a bigger drop gave it up and jumped on board of the ongoing rise because they didn't want to miss out and end up paying ~70% more than the bottom.

I agree, as a bull run is already has different degree's as well. Others say that this bull run can be considered as "mildly".

But we can still consider this some FOMO I believed, it doesn't need to be the price jumping to $7k-$8k. Everyone is waiting for a rally and that is why we already have some FOMO inside the market in the last two weeks or so.

I didn't see the reaction I want from the supposed "bottom" at around $3000 level and I don't smell that bull air. :) I'd risk it here and say that the bottom is not in yet for Bitcoin. However I don't trade my opinion, I trade technical analysis like my mentor would say. Remember, this is NOT financial advice. This is just my 2 cents.

Even though I'm on the sidelines right now I feel literally no pressure to buy. All I have to do is wait for BTC to fail its first test of 6K if it even makes it that far on this volume.
At a minimum I get to buy back right where we are now and most likely somewhere under 5K. Still waiting a bit out if this is really the next bull.

I really cannot wait for the drama that will happen at this period, it will happen just like magic, this value you mentioned is what I expect to push the price of BTC to $15,000 and if not more before the final bull run. I love FOMO a lot and I always appreciate those who create FOMO, just like recently, many people that has been trying to do that has been like a clown.

Imagine Mcafee saying BTC will touch $1,000,000 by next year. How is that possible, this type of FOMO does not really get into people, so he needs to be realistic and use his position very well in creating one that will first lead us to 7k, then to 15k and we keep doing it that way till it goes high.

FOMO literally helps us get more buys. Fomo is fear of missing out and what does people who are fearing that bitcoin will go up and they will miss ? Well they buy and when they buy what does it do? Make the price go up. That is why I think that FOMO is really needed if we want to get to that ATH prices once again. If we can make people believe bitcoin will go up than not only buyers will buy but the sellers will stop too, when bitcoin sellers stop to sell at a low price and buyers want to buy no matter what than the price will automatically increase even if the volume doesn't change at all. I don't know how FOMO starts or who starts it but if we can figure that out we can than repeat that for future increases.

FOMO failed to kick in, Negative news is more powerful tool to bring the price of BTC down,. The bitfinex tether scandal makes things harder once again for cryptocurrency and FOMO guys are now waiting for another big dip before jumping in.

I agree, people now cares more about what they currently have rather than what they "might" possibly have so instead of FOMO they fear more about what they can lose. With the current situation FOMO affect less since bitcoin failed hard before and history makes it harder to believe more than what is possible.

the situation will only make a lot of people panic and it will only make many people lose because surely they will be trapped at high prices and think that the price movements of coins at the exchange place will experience price increases even though it is not as easy as they imagined.

That depends on what price range they are going to fomo  . some do fomo at lows because they are afraid that the drop will not contiue while some do fomo at highs because they think that the value will still continue to grow  . the ones that do fomo at high is facing a huge risk because like what you said , he can be stuck at highs if ever the price will stable and worst he can loose because there is a chance that the price will go down 

In cryptocurrencies market and bitcoin trading we can only speculate what will happen and not really what is going to happen as this market is highly unpredictable.  The market has it own mind and because of that we find it difficult to predict the future trend of the market accurately.  However I strongly has the feeling that the bullish trend has commenced since ending of last month when bitcoin cross $4000. If you are new in this market it is better you look for professionals advice before investing.

I think that if your deposit is at least one bitcoin or more, then you should not hope that intraday trading can significantly enrich you. Most likely after some time you will be surprised to find that you have lost your winning position and can no longer catch up with it.

Bull is confirm since we are not dumping below $5k anymore and this month of May will be a new start of pump again. Its not easy to speculate, and newbies should not listen to any speculation because you have to learn how to analyze. This is not FOMO anymore, its been a month and we are still on a higher level, 2nd quarter is truly the beginning of the bull. 

Before i usually based my decision on some facebook groups about TA on bitcoin and it was t worst mistake i made since it made me sell BTC at $14k USD instead of 20K usd last 2017, right now i am still holding some BTC and good numbers of alts that has the potential to a big player in the next bull run.

I don't agree that we are on FOMO right now. Still, there is a small correction and after that, there is a resistance of price movement of bitcoin. I don't usually believe in the group that having a TA, it makes you a possible mistake if you don't research your own. Have you notice the movement of bitcoin there is a correction but right after that it will have a pump up and that was a resistance, just like a zigzag motion in moving the price.

That amount still give you profit right?
Who can clearly see what the bitcoin will achieve, if I see a profit when I sell, I would do it without hesitation.
Greediness will ruin our plan, we wait for a higher price and what if the price will start to dump and we still cannot sell again as we believe it will again recover. There are traders and investors who made mistake during the last bull run, but I think they already learn now.

I guess everyone really do it wrongly in the beginning. I also felt victim of this so called TA groups in 2017. Started very well but ended up losses on my end. Anyways, FOMO has it's good side, but the problem is that its not sustainable, others go in and left before it exploded. As for BTC it's really doing well right now, with some healthy corrections but I'm sure more will FOMO if we are going to touch $6k again.

We are still at the very beginning of a market change, and vast majority of the people that are here are the ones that resisted the coldest bear market ever, and these are as solid as rocks... I don't think that many will go after some FOMO, these already have hardened skin... I agree with some comments that state that a healthy FOMO will be starting around 7000... when a lot of outside attention will turn into BTC once again and the race starts...
TA groups are usually p&d or if they are legit, they follow the charts, and the charts are drawn by a few market makers............

Selling BTC at $14K was a very good trading decision. Most people who bought in early 2017 they most likely sold whenever a new ATH was breached, basically anywhere from $3K to $10K. When it broke the $10K area, we all assumed it would hit $25K or $50K and most would sell there. However it barely managed to break $20K and started its descent.

So getting $14K is pretty good. Most either sold at $6K last year or they panic sold at the $3K when it looked like we were headed for $1K bitcoins.

Don't feel bad about taking profits. A profit is much better than a loss. But ideally those Facebook TA groups shouldn't be taken seriously.

I agree, as long as crypto is here to stay, we can find another opportunity to sell again.
Not every makes money here, so a profit is something one should be thankful already, our main goal is to be profitable and maximize it if we can
but if situation tells we need to sell, we should do it without a doubt.

Could have some resistance again making some prices adjustments, we aren't that far from dips and yet we are still struggling to have a full recovery. But it looks different right now, the market doesn't move so fast, it just like a crawling duck and can't expect will be soaring at high this year.
Though some speculations arise that there will be another bull run, yes maybe have but not of what we've experienced last 2017.

A pressure might emerge when the price broke through $5k some time ago then fomo appeared. so did I some time ago. and the price had climbed up to $5600 and fell again. for now there is no pressure to buy, still patient to see if the price is able to pass $6k, lets see

True.

But it is the trading speculation so we can still predict just for the purpose of buying and selling.
It aint a bull run for me but a good up for the bitcoin price. It could be a good moment to sell for traders.
There have been a lot of news spreading about USDT and it could be one reason for the price to fall once again. Even just $100 will be a good profit.
Buying after a week or a month will be the key. Question is when will it be?
