I'm not confused that BTC will reach a new ATH this year anymore since we entered 2022 every recoveries are not strong, on the long run the way is always down, what do you think? I'm i wrong or right?

Well the overall price movement of BTC is different depending on which time frame you are looking at. If you just look at the time from the beginning of 2022 until now then yes the overall directions in terms of the price for bitcoin is downwards with some small upwards corrections here and there but still we are at a lower price at the moment then we were back in the beginning of this year. That being said, this does not automatically mean, that a new ATH of Bitcoin is impossible to reach within this year. We still have 10 months left and i am really not an expert trader, but what i have learned so far is that everything can happen in the cryptospace and also that everything can happen pretty quickly.

If you are talking ever then yeah we will definitely see higher highs.  Right now with the economy the way it is and coming off the pandemic I think short term we will see a dip into the 20s possibly.

I can only think of that the long term way is only in one direction and that is upwards.
If we see through out the history of bitcoin we can see how well it has performed over the long term.
Although we have seen sharp declines, it has been recovered well and over the long term we have seen a very good price increase in bitcoin.
Why would you say that the long term way is down for bitcoin ?

Bitcoin has a lot of opportunities to hit a new ATH again this year but it's not an easy thing because the bitcoin price is currently down again and even now, bitcoin is touching the price of $37,600. But strangely, a lot of altcoins get green candles and if the situation is like this, there is a possibility that the altcoins will start another rally and after that, bitcoin will begin to increase. It was just a prediction that could be wrong or could be right.

But in the long run, bitcoin will increase again so you don't have to be confused and just enjoy the ride. There is a recovery phase for bitcoin that we may not realize later because it could be that the price of bitcoin rises slowly to the level of $50k-$60k and after that, the price immediately rises sharply.

What you are saying is not clear ,first you have said that btc will recover and get a new ATH this year after that you said long term it goes down always .Really made me confuses .Whatever i just wanna clear my side that long term is always profitable if you choose the right coin .So you just need to exit when you got enough profit on that .You don't hold it when you are in good profit cause after getting a strong trend you might face bearish momentum .Market is always an uncertain place .Who had though that btc could hit ATH on several time on year 2021. I hope it will recover soon and we will see a bullish market on upcoming days .

Im feeling pessimistic if bitcoin will be touching another ATH again since the market is in read and extreme fear anywhere. the recovery that happened with bitcoin last weeks can be called as a bulltrap but we are in the straight direction to go down even more as supports already broken and bitcoin goes to the bottom. People are hoping the recovery will come soon but this will not be a real thing.
So many bad news not only from the cryptocurrency but various sectors are making people feel scared. The price of gold is increasing due to this fear.


You may be wrong with it and you may be right about that. I can't say which the correct answer caused by the market still remain unpredictable. Sometime when i were saying you were right and market turned to be bullish again. I do believe we will be in the bearish trend until the global economic will be recovered again.

I'm also on the optimism that we are going to see highs above current ATH. Countries are gradually trying to find away around bitcoin, some legalizing and El Salvador already cool with adoption. Expect a very volatile run up when the bull resume again. Bitcoin is struggling to stay up despite the bear and I think is time to get some share of the coin.

You are not wrong, and you are not right. The only way to determine if you are right or wrong is when you are already in the situation. It's important that you study the market carefully, the pump and dump are just normal, if you have entered the market during the bull run, you would really not appreciate the current situation because the price is going down, however, if you educate yourself, you'll see that the current situation is an opportunity.

The way has always been up for BTC till date. It's been reaching new all time high and new lowest resistance every few years. Recently it has been holding its lowest resistance above 30K which is much higher than what it used to be a couple of years ago. If you look and test the graph, you can find it totally bullish. Any price below 40K is a good buy price for bitcoin. Not sure if it would reach a new ATH this year, but it would certainly happen within 4 years.

We cannot say boldly that Bitcoin will reach 100k. Some news show that it will reach 300k in few years.
For me its not hard to reach so because only 5-10% of world are trading bitcoin, if it increase to 30% we will definitely see Bitcoin at 100k. Also not any big country yet accepted Bitcoin as a payment service. If it done will go very high

I don't suppose anyone can predict where the market will be by the end of the and however there have been a couple of negative news that has continued to bring the market down mainly because of fear like the current Russia and Ukraine tension, but I do however believe that Bitcoin can do better than the previously ATH this year if there is no constant negative news. 

With this condition and can you still expect ATH to be reached soon? I personally didn't even think bitcoin will reach new ATH. Bitcoin will be doing sideways this year and it will be very stable. So many things are also affecting the market. Bitcoin is also less volatile compared to when it was very bullish. The long term run for bitcoin still remains a mystery. I'm always feeling bullish with bitcoin even when others are thinking bearish trends about bitcoin.
You are wrong about your prediction. The fundamental of the market shows that if crypto is more to the bearish trend rather than bullish trend.

2020, 2021 we have experienced 2 years of the impressive growth of BTC, BTC consistently hits ATH. So I wouldn't be surprised this year bitcoin will be on a downtrend, possibly entering a long bear cycle. But who knows, if war occurs, prolonged inflation will cause a global economic crisis. Bitcoin can be a place to invest or a safe haven. then bitcoin will have a new ATH.

You can be both, wrong and right.
We don't know how long this recovery would take. As if there's stopping it and it can be the possible war that's happening between Ukraine and Russia.
IMO, if it's all about long term, there's only one choice that shall reign by that time and that's going to be up.

Yes, the price of bitcoin will definitely move higher before the end of this year 2022 to enable people to make a good profit from their investment. Now that the price of bitcoin has dropped to $39k few days ago, it will be better for anyone to buy more of bitcoin and hold for the market price to change positively to make a good profit. Those investors that are used to long term investment will really have a lot of income to achieve from their bitcoin investment when the price of bitcoin hit back to $75k before the end of this month of February 2022.

It's no surprise how fast people adapt to the present conditions of anything that's happening, when a bull market is present they wish it stays forever and they make plans based on it, they have forgotten that the crypto market is seasonal no matter how much money is entering the space.

You're neither of the two as you're just overthinking it. If you've been holding BTC for quite some year, this isn't anything new for you already. Do you recall when BTC was like down to 32k last year? I can't quite recall the exact month but it dipped like this before it went back up again.
It's just Bitcoin being Bitcoin.

I am pretty sure that this thread suits more in the Bitcoin Discussion board.

We are already in a bear market, so with that, we will not see anymore all time high for bitcoin this year. And it shows that we are still in a 4 year cycle, 2017 bull run and then we have 2021. And after that epic and massive run, it's time for the bears to take the market again for 2 years. So adjust your trading strategy and buy when bitcoin is on a dip.

It is too early to tell, it is true the price is going down and it does not seem to have the strength to sustain a long term recovery and lead us towards another ATH at the moment, however it is only February, we have ten months ahead of us and that is more than enough time for the circumstances to change in the market, so do your best to avoid making the mistake of selling your coins for a bad price, because if you do and you are wrong then not only you will miss on the potential profits you could have gotten, but in the case you want to enter the market again then the bitcoin you will get in return will be way lower than what you had.

So, what do you think personally? Believe in Bitcoin ATH again or not?
Actually, it is unpredictable to see how the market is ongoing currently since the end of 2021. Many predictions about the new ATH will come still don't meet. Additionally, we are also still experiencing a very volatile market of Bitcoin, seems like bearish era of Bitcoin and altcoins are still ongoing. Not high increase, but significant drop.
If we are expecting Bitcoin for a long-term investment, we may not be confused anymore because we will be waiting for the next bullish era to meet the next ATH in both this year or even several years later. So, long term for BItcoin still works very well.
But if we are expecting for the short investment to wait for the ATH to be done during this year, it is still unpredicatble. Maybe yes, maybe not

It looks like a bear is coming but I would like to believe it's just a normal thing that would try to make the institutional investors to buy low since Bitcoin has been pumping a lot lately. We could actually see the $30k again here if this will continue or worst below $30k then it's a winter time for Bitcoin.

Just HODL what you can hodl during this time I still believe there's a chance it will bounce back to break another ATH. How I wish this will give as a chance to buy low or sell high again.

yup! i think it's true.
like what happened a few years ago, i think what happened in the past will repeat itself at this time.

slowly but surely the market will continue to go down.
it's time to be careful, but don't miss this opportunity as pumps and dumps happen in a short time. we can make short term investments to raise more money and be prepared to buy back when the market bottoms out.

No but you can expect this for next year or after another bitcoin halving to come which was around 2024 and that's 2 years from now. No ATH this year and believe it. take a look at the current candle and you may see that if bitcoin is in another big bearish trend. it's sad to say that even some predictions predicted if Ethereum will be wiped out from the market.
We may be so lucky if we will able to see another ATH this year but im very doubt this will be happening.

The wrong this from you expecting the strong recovery during the crypto winter is a big mistake.

You're right. Crypto will be going down for long term.

So what are you looking for in this market, do you want it to always happen according to your wishes?
Or have you come to terms with the facts that are happening, everyone wants a good future for the market but that doesn't mean it has to go up all the time, corrections take place to get rid of people or things no longer suitable for the market (or maybe in a certain sense depending on each person's opinion) .
Don't trust anything when you don't understand it, I think you should have a more relaxed view of the market no matter what the future plays out, always be satisfied and happy with it.

currently we are in a bearish trend, it’s only normal if the market always looks grim or you could say that majority of the market movements will just be full of market correction.
if you widen your horizon over your chart analyzation you could see that we are still quite far higher than the valuation in the past even if we has experienced so many market correction and currently the market has lost quite significant amount of market capitalization.
once the trend has finally changing its direction you could see the same joyful market movement that brings nothing else but more and more bullish run, it’s all just the trend and it’s also the perfect moment for accumulating if you’re conscious of the current market trend.
You can compare the dump that happens right now with another dump that already occured in 2020. it has almost the same candle. It was going up but go down again but this may become the end of dump.

last year bitcoin actually had ATH, I think btc will come back ath in 3 years, like waiting from 2018 to 2021. But the cryptocurrency trend is quite strong now, bitcoin may continue to grow ATH will occur every year until the supply runs out of mined.

Personally, I believe that the cryptocurrency market is always unpredictable and the price may go down, or it may go up. So at the moment the price of bitcoin is going down a bit, but that cannot mean that the price of bitcoin will hit a big low in 2022. So, according to my forecast, I can say that Bitcoin will soon again surprise us with its new peaks.

Every year bitcoin continues to grow, the bear period will not be the same as 2018 which has to wait every year, because bitcoin's growth is very fast, many people are familiar with investing and the benefits of cryptocurrency. I'm sure the long term will lead to big gains, not downsides.

I think we are in a bear market now, if we know the four year cycle of BTC, we will understand that the bear market has started from the beginning of this year.
Take a look at the 2021 chart, that is the end of the bull market in a four year cycle, then the bears will run in the next two years, then the bulls will try again to lead in the third year and then the fourth year next is the top of the bullrun, then the market will be bearish again and so on if according to the cycle.

You should review this confused  are you referring to convinced as confused. If that be the case bitcoin is for hodlers. Demand and supply moves the market. many years back no one believed bitcoin will make an ATH of $1k not to talk of how much value bitcoin has added. january and febuary are mostly bearish so i don't think there is a cause to panic

You mean Bitcoin will reach a new ATH but it will never stay there for a long time? Is that right?
It always happens, it never stays there. But, how much of a price are you looking at now? 36k? Do you know how much it is 10 years ago? Check it.
It does stay high but it takes a long period of time. You are just saying this because you might be in panic. Try to calm your emotions for now because that might be clouding your decision making.

Hopefully, all will turn out well in early or mid-March. I'm also expecting a surprise from bitcoin and I'm sure it will happen and as long as we can be patient, we will get a chance to sell bitcoin at the next high. So before that happens, we can use it to buy at low prices. But you need to be careful because the market is now still at a downtrend.

Cycle is always rhythmic, I've looked at the chart every time but history will not repeat itself we may see something else happen in this bear market phase. Although I also believe that 2025 or at least 3 years from now we will see bullishness, but the chart may be different this time bear market will not dominate for the next 2 years.

Don't underestimate bitcoin bro because everytime when the value is getting cheaper its getting more attention as well from some big investors reason after bearish season there's always a massive demand in the market.

Just don't base in it's situation because that's part of the cycle in the market. Take a look on the graph instead if you want to make a prediction..

Depending on the long term for you, maybe you are talking about six months only, which could be the "long term" for you. And I don't think it will be reaching ATH at this time frame, but if you include years and years of it, it will be higher than the ATH. That's just being optimistic about it because I believe in it.

Just keep on purchasing and buying. That's going to be the best approach to it.

Perhaps. That will change the meaning of the sentence if that is what the OP is implying. Auto-correct or auto-fill if he is using a smartphone might have wrecked what he wanted to say. If that's the case, I guess OP is just rushing things considering we just entered 2022. It had just been two months and we might have not even seen the worst.
I am used to seeing Bitcoin go down drastically and I bet anyone who had been following it does so. Then, it just goes back up with unexplained events.
If you have been through those times, this is nothing.

Long term depending when you entry or invested with your altcoin or bitcoin, if you entry when bitcoin drop under $37,000 I think is not looks long term with market down. I have been very long term because entry when bitcoin touch higher price last several moths and become most loyal holder right now after price down. I don't have planning to be long term holder but situation make me have to do and hold my altcoin assets, if not cut loss is most terrible for me because almost 60% loss from my assets, what have to do jut become long term holder or investor still waiting market good condition again.

No one knows, but most still wouldn't be too convinced by your statement that this year will meet again with the ATH we just went through. Meanwhile, when viewed from the Bitcoin Halving, the ATH process is achieved once every 4 years. Maybe it's not a permanent benchmark, but there's nothing wrong as long as the concept still shows Bitcoin ATH is always on a line that is not far from the 4 year timeframe.
Now, massive adoption is still underway, and for now, the bear market is slowly approaching March. Keep doing the analysis calculations as much as possible, don't just rely on trust if there is no strong support.

Its just a matter of a few tweets from some influential people like Elon Musk for bitcoin to go down or up in price. A tweet in support and the price goes up and vice versa.

Referring to the 10k BTC pizza scene, no one would have believed either that a person could actually buy 2 pizza for 10k BTC. No one could have actually thought that the price would rise to such an extent that buying a whole bitcoin could not be possible for the general population and even now bitcoin is still a child and still a lot of growth is happening. But the market suggests the otherwise and is only going down from the start of this year and from what I have seen, the crypto market as a whole should at least be in a bear market for at least the first half of 2022.

I just wish that it won't be the same as 2018 because that's what others are fearing of right now.

The comparison of 2017 and 2021 bull run is followed by a big bear market by its next year. And that can happen for this year even if we don't want to see it.

The possibility is high that a bear market shall really follow it and we are on that year.

It only gets better if you learn how to hodl your bitcoin in your portfolio. It's just the beginning of the year, bitcoin can hit a new ATH before the end of the year. Just relax and be patient. Nothing is impossible in crypto

When things get hard people tend to freak out, so now when it's hard and the prices are falling down many people is freaking out... weak hands will sell, strong hands will hold! You are afraid? Your portfolio is losing value? We are facing with same things, and I think that 2022 will not be bright for crypto, we will see some lower prices, so hold on, after a big storm, there's a ray of sunshine, and when the sunshine comes it will be important do you have something in your hands or not!

Don't get speculative about what we went through throughout this year, we are just in the 1st quarter and there are a lot of things that will happen. Well, my perspective is quite strong and I don't give much weight to the current drop as the market remains strong as before. This drop has no big difference in the past correction, it was just the FUDs circulating in social media that caused some doubts and market uncertainty. We neither hold people to sell the cryptos, it was just for now but later on, they come buying again.

The market is now still in the bearish moment, seem like the market correction may be still ongoing. The Bitcoin price is still at the down rate, followed by most altcoins.
Long-term investment may be a way to secure our funds, moreover if that is not hot money to invets. It will not mean anything, just keep holding the Bitcoin for the long term. Because the value fo Bitcoin may be rising up again i long term epriod, at elast we can see another bullish era after the next halving.
But if we are willing for a hsort term, well, I don't think t may happen soon

Central banks continue to print money like crazy. The tension between Russia and Ukraine has the potential to escalate into a world war. Energy costs trigger global inflation... I think everything creates positive expectations for store-of-value assets like Bitcoin and Gold. I wish everything had better conditions. Peace and brotherhood is my true wish. But we have to look at things realistically. Lastly; Time will tell who is right. I wish you good luck.

Yeah, i do agree with this. 4 year cycle means pump after halving. The only problem is we are still being far from the next halving and how can the market defend its price from the dump when we are 2 years away from there? The halving will be happening in the next years. To be honest waiting around 2 years will be making everyone will boring with the market.

Im not sure you will be facing ATH every year but the fact that if you are also watching this and then you may see if bitcoin needs at least some times to do preparation before the pump. The halving will be triggering the long term pump for the bitcoin. This time the inflation in bitcoin is still happening but as the block reward will be reduced and this is very good for bitcoin in long term. Miners will have no power to give impact to the market.

The recovery is not strong enough to get over the bearish season but atleast there's a recovery that is happening and the price is not getting deeper. We're still in the first quarter of the year so many things can still happen to affect the market.

This situation is normal for Bitcoin, it turns up and down unexpectedly. Thus only those investors with strong hands can think ways on how to take advantage it and not letting themselves be affected. Just be patient and think positive. Dont stress yourself on the current price and look forward on what lies ahead.

People keep forgetting that we were under 30k, even under 10k, just as recent as 2 years ago. Just because we had a great year from 2020 to 2021 doesn't mean that we were always like this. Up until summer of 2020 we were at around 10k, and now we are at around 3-4 times higher than that on a "bear" trend.

I am not saying that we are not lower right now but being lower doesn2t always mean something that is terrible for everyone. Focus on being as good as you can, get as much bitcoin as you can, and then keep on waiting. Bitcoin always ends up higher in the long term and this is a proof of that. 35K+ levels being a "bear trend" is something amazing all within itself.

Yes, we are in the bear market now, but I will call this a correction because the price seems to sustain for the worst.
If you are confused, you better not enter the market and not force you to buy any coins because that can make you buy at a high price.
You should have more patience waiting for the situation to back to normal to analyze the market.
The recoveries will always try to make the price lift. Although it seems hard to do, we know that bitcoin is strong enough to rise from the bottom.

Still looks not chance for Bitcoin can touch all time high on this years because have been dominance for bitcoin last two years with always make new all time high, have possibility with cycle where bitcoin halving impact waiting for can reach all time high again for bitcoin. Looks need three years later for bitcoin back to top price. Still with my assumption only looking how bitcoin chart and price last tow months on this year. Not any possibility for bitcoin can reach higher price although not any bad issues publish by United State and China as countries not support with bitcoin.

Of course you are clearly wrong. What do you mean by "on the long run the way is always down"? Have you seen the overall chart of Bitcoin? Try to check one, a chart that shows you the growth of Bitcoin's price from the moment it is traded and given value up to now. You will see how Bitcoin is actually moving upward through the years. Forget about the short term volatility of Bitcoin. Take a step back and you will realize that Bitcoin has actually grown thousands of fold. No altcoin can beat that.

Long term is only effective for hold top coins such as BNB, EThereum and so on, this is because too many speculators are active in daily trading so when they see the market rise or profit at least 5% they will sell, but with strong coin hold it is not necessary will undoubtedly increase significantly.

Long-term options are indeed always within the scope of good coins so even those who hold them don't have to worry about losing a lot of their assets, because the volume is always there and even increases when there is a good price increase in the market.

I can't really comprehend your statements but there is one thing for sure that BTC will always get to new ATH. Now talking of other recoveries yes, they all dependent of BTC driving market this means if it turns to bullish all other assets follows the directions as well. always keep one thing in mind that market is being driving by information.

I believe the long term is still effective and I use it as a strategy to get big profits, of course coins that have strong potential and will continue to be used so that with long term holding we can make big profits like what is happening now, the coins I rely on are MATIC, Sandbox and Terra.

you have a good choice. Matic and SandBox are also assets that I have for the long term.
the strategy is simple, buy when the market is down. and don't get frustrated easily when the price drops deeper. plan the right time to get out in the investment. so we don't lose the moment when we want to sell long-term assets.
most of those who think the long term is not good are those who are easily frustrated and panicked by volatile market conditions.

Indeed, entering 2022 from the beginning until now, price of btc is always changing. A new ATH will be created, but after that it will experience a decline back to its current state and will create a new ATH. but we always hope that btc will always experience good development

Yup!. I think we have entered a bearish period like 2018. This year, I predict the bitcoin price will likely continue to fall, the drop could go up to around $30k. We should hold, now is not the time to sell.
As you mentioned: the participation of the major players in the market, I expect the market will not fall for too long like 2018. I hope the market won't fall for too long and will go up again soon.

I believe OP was trying to be "CONVINCED" that there might not be a new ATH for Bitcoin and considering what you just said about the Bitcoin market being moved by information, It is highly likely that there might be BULLISH news for Bitcoin to also change the market trend so we can't really conclude that because the market is in a downtrend means that's going to be the trend for 2022.   

It seems so because the price is back down again after yesterday's gain and is holding at $37k.
We don't know if the price can stay at $37k or go back down again as there are no definite clues about that.
Hopefully, there won't be a need to wait until three years later for bitcoin to return to its highest price or if that's the case, we can just be more patient to wait.
We are almost seeing the end of the month and hopefully, in the next month, the bitcoin price can get a long rally to climb back up.

Since entering 2022 Bitcoin has indeed shown a downward trend even though it has only been up for a while, and now it could be because the world economy is also in a bad condition, Bitcoin will also be affected. But we can't speculate right now, since the correction is still going on for Bitcoin, we'll see near the end of the year if Bitcoin can hit a new ATH.

You are wrong. On the long run you think the price goes down? Have you looked at the charts? Zoom out and you will see that the price in the long run has always gone up. What you are looking at right now is the short term price of bitcoin. The price has already gone up a lot and we can't expect the price to keep on going up every day. This is how the market works. We have bullish market and then we have a bearish market. But after every bullish and bearish market, we always reach a support point. So the price won't keep on going down. It will reach a point where it won't go any further below. Will stay there for a while and then the bullish trend will start all over again.

It seems that it will be very difficult to achieve new ATH on Bitcoin if you look at the current conditions because you can also see for yourself at the highest ATH point that Bitcoin has ever reached and try to compare it with the lowest point ever reached this year, it must look very far and also won't be able to get new ATH any time soon including this year too.

Looks like will be long was is down for bitcoin and altcoin price after today announce about new war between Russia and Ukraine, I think this why happen with bitcoin price today suddenly drop drastically from $40,000 to be $34,000 and still down right now before war can't stop. Despite about war I think not only as cryptocurrency drastically down but also stock keep going down until have ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, I think if both site keep going on with war will have bad possibility in this year with bitcoin and altcoin price keep going down and never see again with all time high reach by bitcoin.

Seeing the current conditions with correction conditions that occur all the time makes the red market a bit heavy and it takes time even though Bitcoin is often red in March. My view is that if all is well and supported by healthy news, the market will return to normal and try to pay attention to conditions in April, April is the best month for Bitcoin based on the historical table of BTC monthly returns.

It's hard to guess and make predictions for bitcoin this year, let alone talk about the achievement of ATH, I'm sure bitcoin will return to normal, but I'm not sure when it will continue, the achievement of ATH usually applies if the initial price has stabilized or strengthened suddenly, but currently the condition of bitcoin is still stagnant, there is no significant price change, which certainly everyone expects bitcoin to reach a new ATH, but we do not know when that achievement will continue.

Traders always have a different concept from investors where investors tend to hold on for a long time and let go when they reach the target they want while investing. And in general now it is still worth buying and holding good coins to find profit in the long term

Currently the price of bitcoin and altcoins is declining, but we can not be sure that this will last long, and currently the price of coins is still slightly increased although for today the price is back down, and to reach the new ATH we can not be sure because this year's journey is still long and could be later in the year the price of bitcoin and altcoins will again reach the highest value as it has in 2021, In terms of the current price we believe the current price will not last long and all will return to normal.

Now BTC is going through the biggest support.  So far, I don't see the possibility of the British going downhill.  If this support 34000 crosses it down then BTC will go further down and the real market will stay at the bottom once below it.  It is expected that BTC support will be maintained at all times. This is the biggest support place. It is hoped that if this place is occupied, other coins and tokens will run in good places in the crypto market.  Everyone is looking at this place of BTC, how he will face BTC next.

I do not think that we are in a 2018 type of situation. In 2018 we didn't have any proper increases like that we had this year and we are just finishing the first 2 months. We have 10 more months and we already started under 40k, reached above 40k and went super high, then dropped under 40k again.

I feel like it is not going to be 2018 but it already is showing that it hasn't been like that for the time being. Doesn't mean that it can't be, the rest of this 10 months could be like 2018 and the price could crash and have a bad year, but I seriously doubt that to happen as well. I believe that we could be having a great year with some volatility. Like could be 70k+ this year as well, or could be under 30k at the same year and that would be not impossible for sure.

It won't work for sure. Shorting is too risky right now with the possibility for bitcoin to go even deeper. Anything can happen anytime. The market can face another crash again once rusia - ukraine problem will be giving another bad news again. the war already started and people are buying gold to save their assets from the dump that happened in the various sector. Remember the world war will be also triggering a very big crisis for all of things that ever exist in the world. This will be putting people in a very difficult situation caused by they must survive with what they have in their pocket. this makes people try to think for the second time before try to re invest their money in the crypto.
The situation is a very difficult to be understand.

It is true that the circumstances are not optimal for bitcoin, especially now that a war is underway, however bitcoin is incredibly strong and people are forgetting how fast it can move upwards, for example when the pandemic became unstoppable the price went down but then it quickly recovered and then we saw a bull market, and while it would be naive to think that would happen again, to think there is no chance to see a new ATH during this year as some people think  is being too pessimistic in my opinion.

2021 is not 2022 an all time high isn't meet every year, do your research, so far it's not be the year of crypto-currency and with all the crises it may not be the best Cryptocurrency year in the long run, but that's not to say it been bad, most investors pray for the dip to come in once in a while especially on crypto-currency they have strong believe in, because it's initiate the opportunity to buy more of those coins

You could be wrong. Nobody foresaw the political crisis brewing in Ukraine and Russia, which could have serious adverse effects on crypto and other financial instruments. Also remember bitcoin can be overbought and jump quite high

Price correction will always occur when new ATH is reached, if you look at Bitcoin price history, then new ATH at $20k in 2017 is strong support then in 2021 it will reach $62k usd. the current price drop is still normal as Bitcoin continues to strengthen at a price of $35k to $40k usd. this is Bitcoin price support and we will see a price increase or new ATH during the Bitcoin Halving

To achieve a new ATH this year for bitcoin is quite difficult, considering the market is still in the stage of a severe correction, even recently bitcoin is back down, perhaps the most appropriate is strengthening, because this is more likely to happen than achieving a new ATH, but anything can happen in crypto without us realizing it, hopefully a new ATH will be achieved, but the most important thing is that bitcoin must strengthen this year

The possibility of bitcoin reaching a new ATH is very open, as long as the market returns to its normal path even though it doesn't strengthen that much, but the problem is that recently bitcoin is back down at a very fast time, is this a bullish sign or a bear market will re-emerge until next month, it is difficult to make predictions for bitcoin at this time, because the market can change so quickly without being predicted, let alone the tensions between the two countries that are currently being discussed, have an effect on the journey of crypto

If you look at the price decline for bitcoin, it has not been too severe, when compared to the previous year, because price support is still stable at $35k-$40k, most of the new ATH achievements are after a big correction, meaning that after that there will be a strengthening to reach new ATH, but for this year it is difficult to make predictions for the price of bitcoin, let alone predict what month's ATH achievement, but I think for the next month there will be changes

After the fall of the market, it will be a rise of the market. It is necessary just to wait till the rise of the market.
Also thanks to cryptocurrency it is possible to invest in assets that will not lose their price and are more stable than cryptocurrency.
Such as real estate  https://twitter.com/Z1financial_/status/1496371114175565824

It's hard to say wrong or right, no one can say for sure this year bitcoin will reach ATH or vice versa bitcoin will not reach new ATH, market conditions can change in an instant, recently bitcoin has fallen again in selling price, even though in a week it has always been almost stable in the bitcoin price market, that's why we can't be sure of ATH's achievement this year, because the market is really unpredictable

To achieve a new ATH for bitcoin and ethereum this year I think it is very difficult because we can see the price of the coin continue to decline until it reaches 50% of the current decline, and many predict that the current decline will last for up to 4 years but we must know this is just a prediction and this is not necessarily the case, In the future, we just wait for the development of bitcoin and altcoins hopefully will return to the highest numbers as in the past year.

You look only in the span of three months.

But for the past 2 years, the crypto market has grown that much. And if you're in losses because you've missed selling when you're in profit. It's likely that you have waited for a bigger gain despite that your profits were visible.

That loss will really have you sell when you do maybe in the next few months.

I could see that this person is too impatient and then only he/she think is all about gaining a profit without understanding the volatility of the market.

Well, it was not new to use hearing this thing, many people will complain and they keep complaining about they are not satisfied with the 2 months in a bad experience but not even give complement to almost 2 years in bullish. It was to say that many people are just wanted easy money and they'll think after investing they will earn.

You are wrong, just look at the big picture and there's the history of bitcoin that will prove bitcoin is bullish in the long run.

That's why people who "HODL" succeed because they know the right thing to do, they buy at dip and sell at peak, that's what you read from smart people, we only differ from the execution of such rules due to some people are greedy enough not to sell at the right time.

It's okay.

There are investors that have been thinking the same and it is understandable why they think that it's always been red for bitcoin despite the close to 2 years that we've been bullish.

Maybe they're for the short term and that's why they think like that.

In the world of the money market, prices can change at any time, geopolitical conditions now also affect market sentiment, even though the Bitcoin system is decentralized but the price is not decentralized, as much as possible you can see where the security is going because corrections can occur at any time.

That is why a fairly large risk occurs in Crypto now, if we cannot cut the market in such conditions, decentralized only concerns the system, while others have an external influence in running it, therefore, be careful when conditions like this, because Many problems arise, caused by errors in decision making, which results make us lose in the present condition

You can be sure of that, but very many people believe that the price of bitcoin can reach high prices this year. whether it will reach its ATH back or not, it will be a high price.
considering that nowadays crypto developments are ubiquitous, signifies that in general people have accepted these developments. many technological developments that support crypto, even the state also supports it. however, it will definitely push the price higher. You may hesitate, but you better not miss this train.

what do you mean in the long run it always goes down? so long term you mean how many years?
although currently bitcoin is in a bearish phase the price of bitcoin is still much more expensive than the price of bitcoin 2-5 years ago.
other than that bitcoin does not reach ATH every year and there is no guarantee in 2022 the bitcoin price will reach new ATH. what I know after bitcoin reaches ATH bitcoin will enter a bearish phase in a fairly long period of time.

The market can not be predicted. What do you mean by prices being decentralised? Am hearing such language for the first time.



Holding is still very effective and so promising today like a few years ago for those who are patient. I do not bother myself that many investors are only out for the profit and they can sell fast. It is a choice and every investor should decide what they want, whether holding long term or not.

hat do you mean in the long run it always goes down? so long term you mean how many years?
although currently bitcoin is in a bearish phase the price of bitcoin is still much more expensive than the price of bitcoin 2-5 years ago.

But nobody knows how long the fall of the market will last.
I agree that investment in real estate is more stable than investment in cryptocurrency.
But a lot depends on where real estate is located.

There is so much high in price bitcoin can go in a year! Last year, bitcoin grew almost 3x to reach Ath of almost $70k! The price growth can not be held as there would be correction and retracement! Potentially, bitcoin still have a lots of room to grow but we will have to let the circle of price discovery concludes before becoming more bullish on bitcoin!

Long-term always has existing value or benefits many times over short or medium-term.  Of course, long-term investing needs to be consistent and limit emotional or psychological fluctuations.  The long-term will normally ignore the “price limit” allowed until the trend is present and demand kicks in.  In some of the speculations into the Metaverse, most have lost at least 70% of their value but I keep them.  This is obviously not an easy experience for newbies.  and they need to take care of it with understanding and careful consideration of the plan choice.

Recently, we've not had any substantial upward movement in the value of Bitcoin and I think it's expected. As we can see the market is bearish and that explains why the value has been rallying around close range. The great thing about the market is that we could have a bull market anytime and this would change the atmosphere of everything.

We do.
You haven't seen that bitcoin moved to $39k already? And right now, it's trying to break the barrier of $40k. It's about to hit back to $40k and that's why long term people are always at advantage with this.
Expecting a bull run or not, you'll never know when it'll come again. But for now, you're good to expect the opposite instead of bull run as it recovers.

Now the market is moving towards a better position which is being considered as good news. So it's really hard to figure out when the market is preparing for its dominance. After recovering from the last dump, the market is now trying to get back to its previous place and fundamentally the situation is in favor of Bitcoin crypto currency. In order to trade, it is important to analyze the market closely if there is any political influence in the world.

I think bitcoin can be bought at current conditions, because bitcoin is one of the best coins at the moment, it's just that there are opportunities to sell that must be considered, if we force correction conditions to sell, we will definitely lose, in two days bitcoin is back down, a sign that the correction has not been completed in the future, so be careful in determining the choice to sell, otherwise we will lose a lot of money from the market securities that are being corrected

The red market is more than 3 months old, if I sell before December 2021 then I can get a profit of more than $1200, now it's all over, and the best thing I can do is continue to hold until the target price or profit can be achieved again.

That's right, so it's very important that you study the project before investing, don't invest because of hype or because you got FOMO'd, it will not help you in the long run as hype only is for short term, like a meme coin, they don't have long term potential.

Actually wasting that advantage is also a mistake because second chances are always difficult to get even though it is still very possible to be reached again, but it always requires more patience in conditions like today.
So don't ever regret it again now and keep holding on until you can achieve profit again

The biggest mistake that continues to be ignored will have a negative impact on investment, second opportunities are rarely found, if we don't take advantage of the first opportunity, even if there is a second opportunity, it will never be the same as the first opportunity, but there is no need to regret what has been done. happens, make a new strategy to cover the first failure, by means of careful and bound preparation

Then you should've sold your assets last year before December came in, now as you said, it is already hard to get that because you're only choice now is to hold until the market recovers and make a profit again. These mistakes are avoidable because we can't forecast or tell what would happen in the future. Also, I don't really think that you are committed into long term hodling because if you're into it then you shouldn't be bothered by these events.

that's why we must be able to take advantage of strategies and exit abilities under certain conditions, sometimes we have to be able to take advantage of a little profit, compared to losing profits, we must take the best opportunity under normal conditions, now there is no other way, other than waiting for the market to return to normal We must be able to reach market conditions, forecasts, analyzes and conditions within a certain time, so that our investments are truly on target

Now there are too many economical and political problems. The situation in the world is unstable. Many people do not trust fiat because of big inflation.
In such economic situation many people prefer to use cryptocurrency.

Until whenever crypto will continue to experience ups and downs, which we often hear of corrections and strengthening, that's why we must be able to prepare exit conditions in chaotic market conditions, at least we don't lose in these conditions, although sometimes there is no other way but to hold coins that we have, as long as market conditions are corrected, managing assets is not as easy as we expect, sometimes the market comes to a sudden correction, therefore we need knowledge to avoid losing it all

Why not go really long, I mean if this year is a bear market then it's time to accumulate btc for years and wait for the halving (the catalyst for the next bull run). That's how I see as long term investors, doesn't care what the price is, up and down, bounce back and recovery. As long as the investor is putting some money in the market specially in dip and then wait for the next bull run to happen.

for some investors, the long term is a very appropriate step to buy bitcoin now, this accumulation will create many opportunities to be used by bircoins in the future, because bitcoin is actually getting better from the start, after collecting bitcoins, in the long term we are just waiting for a big increase. maximum, in order to get maximum profit, personally I like long term investment for bitcoin

absolutely true, bitcoin in the future there is no doubt, this coin has gone through a long process from the beginning of its emergence, so to reach its current position is not an easy thing, the current price level is very much different from before, the correction also does not show that bitcoin down at its lowest price, so no need to worry about long term for bitcoin

the highest BTC price ever was $67,566 on 11/8/2021. today 2nd march 2022 the price of BTC is $44K. BTC chart currently looks to be rising slowly after a long period of falling prices in the market. many people predict that the revival of BTC will occur in March 2022. and this has entered the beginning of March. we'll see if it's true that March is the beginning of BTC to new ATH?

The situation in the world is very unstable now, that is why many people prefer to buy cryptocurrency and bitcoin.
Because of economical and political problems the demand in cryptocurrency increases.

So you mean the whole year will be a bear market because the recoveries are not strong enough?.. It is too early if we determine that this year of 2022 is bear. I believe the bullish will happen in coming months so let's just be patient. As of now the market is trying to recover so I think it is a good sign that we will escape this bear market soon.

Nobody knows.  We're all guessing.  Personally I think it will swing between 35 & 55 all year but I have no idea where it'll end up.  I just buy a little here & there when I can.

You could be wrong. Nobody foresaw the political crisis brewing in Ukraine and Russia, which could have serious adverse effects on crypto and other financial instruments. Also remember bitcoin can be overbought and jump quite high

The funny thing is, we are almost higher than the price we started the year. We started with 46k that's true, and we were at around 56k+ prices just 3 months ago, that's true as well. But we need to remember that at the first month (January) we reached as low as 33.5k prices. Right now we are 30%+ higher than that. So that shows us that we are already at a recovery and doing a lot better. Doesn't mean that we are doing awesome right away, of course we need to do a lot better, but a 30%+ increase on YTD lowest point is a great way to continue. I hope that we will do a lot better in the long run, but nothing is certain for the time being.

Investment must have a strategy in running, otherwise the investment we make will not produce anything, the market cycle will change under certain conditions, that's why strategy is needed, it's better to get a small but stable profit than to get a big but speculative profit and full of risk, especially today's uncertain market conditions

No way in every market based project there is always a term exist called long term hold. In crypto many new crypto coming on daily basis with their purpose to society but only few of them will work better. Some will go big in long term plan. We should make plans according to projects base and our understanding. There will be always some space for long term calculations.

It's hard to say wrong or right, no one can say for sure this year bitcoin will reach ATH or vice versa bitcoin will not reach new ATH, market conditions can change in an instant, recently bitcoin has fallen again in selling price, even though in a week it has always been almost stable in the bitcoin price market, that's why we can't be sure of ATH's achievement this year, because the market is really unpredictable

The price of cryptocurrency continue to rise and such big growth attract a lot of people. That is why now more and more people use cryptocurrency for investment perposes.
Also cryptocurrency can be used to avoid sunctions and bans. So the demand for cryptocurrency will increase.

the problem is we don't know which new altcoin is good for long term investment because it is very difficult to predict the future of a project.
many new projects earn millions of dollars on token sales but when they are on the market the price becomes very low and eventually becomes a dead coin. long-term investment in new projects does have a very high risk and choosing big altcoins like BNB and SOL is much better.

Bitcoin price movements this year tend to experience a correction and it seems difficult for us to expect ATH to be achieved in 2022, especially this year it seems that bitcoin has received a lot of negative sentiment from those who don't like bitcoin, besides the war that took place between Russia and Ukraine clearly made the future of bitcoin will be very difficult to predict, but the opportunity to reach ATH of course will probably happen again in the next few years, but now what we need is courage and patience in holding bitcoin for a long time.
