With my analysis and observation, I think before January there will be an inflation in Bitcoin. This coin have depreciate to it stop limit, that is where it can not further depreciate again.
And whenever this coin gets to this point, it reverses back and then boom and trust me it's about time.

Maybe actually tell us why you think this so we have something to talk about? Unless you just want us to make random guesses.

Also, when talking about markets, you shouldn't use "inflation" and "depreciate" when talking about price increases/decreases because those can mean something else altogether.

There will be massive bull run from the month of January that will make the price of BTC to break into $50k to ensure investors that $100k is possible for people to see in the market before the end of 2024. I believe you saw the new display BTC price displayed yesterday to reach $35k again show that a lot of things will happen next year that will make those that invested in BTC to get prepare to achieve their goal from this business.

 Based on the sign the market is showing in this season show, that bear season is going gradually in the market which it will surely disappear before the end of this month for the bull run to continue till 2025 to allow both short hodlers and long hodlers to take a good profits from their business.

I think you mean a price correction, because the price has risen, so there must be a correction, and it is true in theory, but since the price is valued at less than its value, that correction may not happen, but we may try to test the support point at $32,000. In addition, historically, the more we continue at $30,000, the more It was more difficult to break this barrier. This is what this chart confirms. Despite the rise in the price of Bitcoin, not many people made sales, which means that those who have Bitcoin are still waiting for a much higher price to sell what they have.


The price will maintain the current situation and may rise to reach 40,000.

Most likely November will be a volatile month. Hopefully it’s in the up direction and not down and hopefully it’s due to the approved etf.

In December usually not much happens in crypto or some markets because of the holidays. November is going to be the most active month until the second half of January when liquidity will return. So anyway now we should know how the end of the year will look like.

In general, November, December and January are some of the best months for investing. Besides, the upcoming bitcoin ETF and halving means that there are really a lot of green flags and I don't know why to sell now. in my opinion it's best to hold now until the ETF releases. Untill the official news, in my opinion we will see green months. The day of the announcement will be a day of a short pump and then months of profit-taking for those who are now buying, so it will certainly be a good place to open short or at least realize some of the profits from currently held positions.

Where do you make your analysis? because it seems that everyone also needs to make a personal analysis of things related to Bitcoin, so that each person will not immediately believe what other people say about things that will happen to Bitcoin. Inflation and depreciation can indeed happen to Bitcoin, but the timing may be off from what you said because from what I think now Bitcoin is just about time to increase more sharply after this year ends.

I guess you have used the term "inflation" under the wrong context and you are trying to say that there would be bullrun and we will see massive pump? I feel we just have to play around as per market sentiment logically because usually this is how bull market begins but there is alway what if it doesn't go as per the prediction or previous cycles and what if it turns out to be a bull trap because we have seen similar stuffs in the past.

I think we need to stay neutral and set up an entry and exit target derived from analysis and be ready to buy in or sell off based on targets but it's not an easy task.

We also need to be aware of some imposters claiming to be experts and they just keep waiting for these moments to share their random opinion just to get more views for their channels.

Bitcoin inflation? I prefer this word to fiat.

You say what you want about the personal analysis, always say this is speculation, freedom of opinion is everyone's thing, always hear before the beginning of the year bitcoin will experience another correction, there are other speculations saying bullish has arrived and this will be slow until the beginning of the year that's what we often hear, it doesn't matter to me because we never know where it will move, maybe it goes up maybe it has a correction first.
Your preparation is to invest more, if you know the analysis that bitcoin will explode.

Definitely Bitcoins will be at top position before the starting of January. We know that Bitcoins follow a 4 year cycle to reach new ATH price. This year 2024 is the 4th year. So there is high possibility that before 2024, during December Bitcoins will touch at least 50k usd. So if we assume that every positive thing is going to happen, then definitely we can make good profits in the future. So stop discussing and let’s accumulate as many coins as we can at the current price.

I hope that by the end of the year the price will not fall much and there will be an uptrend or sideways price movement. I don't have any guesses about January, but I think that in the first half of next year there might be a drop before halving. But I think that January will not be an exceptional month.

What I can make out from this chart is a quick move towards $38k and then it falls back to $30k to calm down a bit.
Go more sideways until March or April (Near about Bitcoin Halving) and then pick up the pace to reach yet another All Time High in November, 2025.

This is the whole game plan I have been thinking and guess what, it will never go below $28k ever. Ever.

In my opinion, the price of Bitcoin at the end and beginning of the year or end of December early January will reach around 40K, and in November it is likely that the price of Bitcoin will tend to be around 34K to 35K.
And the decline in Bitcoin prices in early 2024 will occur again before the halving that all investors have been waiting for. And maybe in mid-January there will be a slight decline where I think the Bitcoin price will fall back to 30K which I think is an opportunity to accumulate again, and certainly at the next halving the Bitcoin price will reach a new ATH.

Well I think most people may as well be thinking that January will have a drop in price maybe because of the expectation of less rush for acquisition as the traditional system of bitcoin but that will depend on the December volatility. From my analysis, if the price of bitcoin is really high then we may see a slight correction in January but again it may just beat all prediction and speculation. Also, this season may also be different because it is halving year.

Are you talking about Inflation and Depreciation, if that's what you're talking about, for me those are two different things, speculatively these two things have never been found in the crypto market, especially Bitcoin, The biggest inflation factor occurs in goods, not Bitcoin, and as far as I know, depreciation refers more to the countdown of assets, whether it's crypto or other currency values, which leads to a decline.

So I speculate that next January the increase in cryptocurrencies will be a little slower, even though we know that in the future the halving will occur, but there are other factors that influence this, superpower countries are currently in turmoil and war, that could have a bad impact on Bitcoin's growth, it's different when turmoil occurs in countries that aren't superpowers, I've never seen a halving happen but crypto assets don't move, could it be that this happens......caused by certain factors.

From my observations and speculation, for 2024, the crypto market will not be good, but whatever happens now, I hope next January the crypto market can be better than 2021.

Of course it is possible, but only time will tell. Bitcoin is still having trouble breaking the $36k resistance so far even though we have had several attempts at it. $36k is the resistance that will determine whether bitcoin can break $40k in November or we will have to wait longer to get there. November is certainly expected to be better than October, but prices are trending sideways between $34k to $35k.

I hope so too, but something different can also be expected. A correction could still occur during November and the end of the year, but people are already optimistic that we will continue this bullishness until the 2024 halving.

Lol, I thought that OP will have a analysis on what's going to happen pre-halving. However, just like the rest of us, we have our own wild and educated guess. And I think the best scenario that everyone is hoping is that we want to see the price going into the positive direction, i.e. price around the $40k-$50k that time.

Not really sure what you mean by inflation and depreciation, yeah, terms could have the same meaning here, but in crypto we seldom used that term. But in any case, if the majority is looking for a increased at the start of next year, then obviously, we want to make profits short term and in order to do that, we should continue to accumulate at this price and hopefully our prediction will hit to squeeze some profits in January it you are that kind of a trader/speculator.

The last quarter of the year are obviously the best months of the year since bitcoin will experience more positive position in the market compared to the other months. However, this will also greatly depend on the factors that may affect the market and bitcoin. And since we are expecting two big events early by next year, then most probably we will witness a price correction that will set bitcoin price into another level, or maybe a short price decline before the massive price increase sets to happen.

All these will remain assumptions until proven when we cross the bridge by that time.  So let's just wait and see.

In cryptocurrency coins don't have to be increasing always or depreciating all time, so their is two things that is involve in cryptocurrency, either the coin falls or the coins increased,  so in the aspect of coin getting increased its dependable on the condition of the market or the market determinants of demand and supply,  so when the supply is higher than the demands the market will rise to the extent that you will not believe..so saying bitcoin will fall before January next year or something will happen to bitcoin either rising or falling you maybe right because nobody can predict accurately the future of bitcoin.

I think it's good to see your analysis by providing a chart so that we really understand why did you say that there will be an inflation of Bitcoin before that month. It feels like you're predicting is only has a small chance to happen. We really expect that there will be decreasing of price since the market goes that way naturally. If you're a trader, it is what we called EOF, where the price creates highs and lows. We might have different approach in the market but we have the same end point.

If we look though at the past history of Bitcoin, it seems that you are correct, last quarter of the year is very big for us as maybe one reason is that everyone is preparing for the block halving and so we think that they are buying as the price is still very cheap at this point. Halving is still next year, but it's better if we are going to invest like 5 - 6 months before the actual date.

So for know I think that is the mentality of most investors, specially long term, they look past this year and wanted to be ready for the next bull run in the next 2 years. But for shor term investors, they might want to sell some when the price reaches $40k-$50k at the end of the year to make profits.

Definitely, win-win situation for everyone, regardless of what is their goal in the market. They have just to be smart on when to sell and then when to reinvest.

You are not supposed to depend or believe in someone predictions concerning bitcoin, because when you start listening to some of the things that happened in bitcoin price you may dislike bitcoin or you like it, its better when someone predict of bitcoin and you work on the predictions and verify if the predictions will work out well or will not work out well, we all have chart in our system, we should learn and also depends on our own chart instead of depending on people predictions, unlike me, I don't depend on someone predictions because I know that it may mislead me or not.

On January 2024 almost close and left three months early before halving and actually Bitcoin on good position will up to higher price, its based on  my opinion looking current bitcoin keep stable on moving up price. Still not guarantee yet with three months early on January before bitcoin halving time will raise up to higher price but depend how many bad and good news publishing. I am optimistic position with bitcoin on January next year have good trend looking with bitcoin price have been raise up right now, left one two months and looks still not any bad news make bitcoin have correction and drop to lower price.

Seems January is bullish moment for bitcoin, altcoin and we are enjoying the party after waiting more than two years with bearish moment.

What do you mean inflation in Bitcoin? That it will rise in price?

Bitcoin has already risen much in the past several weeks. This doesn't mean it will stop now, but we might be expecting some who prefer to take profit early. I think Bitcoin will reach $40,000 within the year. It might not be that high especially compared to its ATH in November of 2021, but there might be people who would be contented with the price and decide to enjoy the gains. This might delay more increases in the price. 

Inflation? Do you mean correction? If there is a correction, that is normal for Bitcoin but we don't know when the price will experience a correction and when it will go up. For now, Bitcoin price is experiencing a correction but hopefully, it won't correct deeply.

Bitcoin is currently trying to reverse course. After reaching its lowest price, Bitcoin slowly started to increase. And we've already seen the price work out to $35k. So for the coming months, there will be another increase in Bitcoin prices. But we will never know when the time will be.

Even though it's time, we don't need to watch the price fluctuate. The most important thing is how prepared you are to welcome the price increase. If you are not ready, you will miss out on making big profits. I remain optimistic that the price of Bitcoin will increase very high and although it will still be slow, over time, the price will increase.

Bitcoin is hot right now and investors and venture capital firms are betting on it to stay. However, I personally don't have much hope of tracking the possibility of BTC going up quite hard before next January in 2024, how it works and how it moves. But, for now, just follow developments. Indeed, many commenters say bitcoin is more of an investment vehicle than a means of payment and will rise if they can convert their cash into bitcoin.

I don't know what data you are basing this comment on but there is no assurance when the bitcoin price will rise up or down. Price corrections are subject to change at any time. But since you mentioned the month of January, maybe you can think about the ETF approval issue. If you think something like this, then if the Bitcoin ETF is not approved, its price may fall for some times and if it is approved, it will be bullish. But Bitcoin will be bullish even if it is not approved. Because the market is going through a long bearish period. Bitcoin's bullish journey could begin in 2024. I expect Bitcoin to remain bullish until January. We may see a high bullish trend towards the end of January.

Well, the chances are that the price might reach a high of $40k in the coming months if the price consolidates around $35k for a few weeks because these months are good for BTC. The price rally will happen in the coming few weeks, and then there will be a price correction. The price will continuously drop below $20k, where we will touch the bottom. My price target for January 2024 is $42k.
Price will increase after the BTC Halving event, and the price will surge to the new ATH in 2025.

We don't have to listen to what commentators say about bitcoin.  we just need to look at what's going on and it's easy to see that up to 99% of people participate here to invest, not consider it a means of payment.  so, the bitcoin bull cycle will almost certainly return.  but what will happen before January or in the future is unpredictable, I think we should not waste time making too many predictions.  we should focus on accumulating and holding until the bull season really comes.

It seems you are using wrong terms for bitcoin. What do you mean by inflation in bitcoin. This might mean something else altogether from what you have in mind. Use the cryptocurrency terms to explain what you mean and it will make a clear and unbiased  meaning.


By next year, not necessarily by January, bitcoin price is expected be above 40k. If the price stays below 40k, there will not be much conviction for a bull run. This is however the expectations of everyone but something different might happen in the market.


December is always a poor season for bitcoin. Infact, price will drop by December. People tend to withdraw bitcoin and celebrate year end. But January is always bullish. People will enter the market as 2025 investment.

We also need to know the reasons why you think this way. Knowing the reasons on which it is based when making a precise prediction can give us a better idea.

It is thought that there will be an increase in the price as Bitcoin's halving will take place in the new year and ETFs are expected to be approved. While there will be an increase in the price, there will also be corrections, so it is necessary to evaluate these corrections carefully. There are 2 months left until the end of the year, but we still cannot say anything clearly about whether the price of Bitcoin will increase at this time.

Why do you think that December is always a bad month for bitcoin? I mean we can say that 2017 December was one of the all time biggest increases in the bitcoin world, and could be considered great. I understand there has been bad months too, but there has been good months too, it is not like bitcoin goes up every time on a certain month, nor does it go down on every month on certain months.

We are not entirely sure what's going to happen, we need to handle the situation a bit better and realize that not every December is the same, and not every November is the same neither. We need to see how this two months is individually, these are going to be different from each other too ,I think just because in November it goes up doesn't mean it will go up on December, nor if it goes down on November it means that it will go down on December. We could have two months that both go up or both go down or one go up while the other goes down, we have to wait and see.

For sure they are really that pertaining into those month of December on that bear market and this is why on the time that we do speak about December then it would be automatically having that kind of impression.I
could definitely say that there's no way that we could be able to make out some patterns basing up into those previous years in terms  its price but somewhat trying to check out those charts then you cant really be able to blame out someone not to have that kind of optimistic view of point on being that positive towards it. There's no way that we could really be able to predict on whats ahead whether it would be green or red.
Expect the unexpected as always as these things are really just that normal into this space. You cant really be that making yourself that too confident in terms of trading or investing in Bitcoin or crypto in overall.

You would really be needing to be versatile and would really be able to adapt as much as possible.There's no way that we could really be
able to know on whats ahead considering that price could go depending on market sentiment and demand as always. Therefore, there's no assurance on where
we would really be going in the first place.

What you say won't happen, and what are you thinking, dude? Maybe let's just say that what you are talking about or in your mind can and cannot happen. Aren't there even times that, while inflation is high, Bitcoin is hardly affected by events like that?

There may be factors to suppress inflation in Bitcoin through adoption because it will be less volatile, causing it to become even more stable, or it can also be due to its technology and utility, in my opinion.

What?  ???

What's the value then?

I'd say it's priced less than the value, but it actually isn't.
Bitcoin is above the 200 week MA and above the average mining cost.
I used to say this for months, basically since last year, that bitcoin is undervalued, but I wouldn't say that now at 35k.
IMO the fair price of bitcoin all throughout the last 12 months should have been at least 25k, but I'm completely fine with 50% of the last ATH as a pre-halving price

It is given each year that before December ends there is a dumping happening and for me there is no new in this system even more of the of the past years that we managed to see bearishness of the market so I think we must admit that and expect no over those months.
Even January has nothing to expect but instead a lowering value that will last I believe after halving from April to June 2024.

I think it's given that majority of the answer says it will go down mate  and like them I also believe this is what we are heading , strong October ending and strong November Holding , but as December comes to end ? for sure like what we had the recent years a small dump will come.
maybe what he says is the coming months mate or in January when before Halving take effect , that the price will rise again and will make a good growth like what we expected in the coming months and even in the next year from that.

What has happened in the past is likely to happen again, like other things regarding Bitcoin price movements that we have seen so far, although not exactly the same, but close to it.
Throughout this year the price of Bitcoin has moved in a quite positive direction even though there have been many price increases and corrections which I think is very normal.

Indeed if we look at previous years, in December and even January price movements tended to decline, but I think this time is a little different, although there will be a price correction, it will not be too deep considering that the community is getting stronger, creating high or balanced demand which makes prices Bitcoin will remain maintained and there will be no significant decline.

If you look at it in general, Bitcoin is not only suitable for use as an investment tool at this time, because now everyone can see that there are indeed countries and companies that are willing to accept Bitcoin as a payment by providing a very correct transaction method. So the assumption that Bitcoin is only suitable as an investment at this time I think is not correct because Bitcoin is more than that when there are many people who are willing to accept Bitcoin in terms of any payment using the method provided by the recipient parties.

Potential headwinds for the market before the end of the year are rising inflation in the US and rising tensions in the Middle East. Any of these could put the brakes on the year-end Christmas rally, but that doesn't seem to be the case at the moment. Spot ETF approval could change the tide.
If the approval of the first US-based Bitcoin spot ETF comes before January 10, it will cause an extra surge. The excitement generated by rumors of the approval of the BlackRock application over the past few weeks has pushed the Bitcoin price as high as $35k, a level it hasn't reached since the FTX event in 2022. However, the Christmas holiday in December, when the markets are closed, may also cause stagnation. I think for the end of the year, Bitcoin will end the year at $40k.

No one can make any specific predictions as to what may happen in the coming year regarding Bitcoin growth or decline prospects, no one can know for sure. At the moment it is not possible to say anything about Bitcoin price correction as it depends on the global market and economic situation. Bitcoin is a virtual value or cryptocurrency, which is not constitutionally controlled by any one person or institution. For this reason, Bitcoin price changes are often based on generational estimates of value, which can change daily or hourly. There is currently no specific price change date, but financial market conditions and social events may cause price changes. As far as I am concerned, the Bitcoin market will continue to be $30k to $36k up and down in early 2024 and after the April halving, the Bitcoin market may be bulling.

Indeed, we cannot predict tomorrow's bitcoin price, so making predictions for the next month or beyond is meaningless. If someone makes a prediction it is just what they want, a random prediction and they have no basis for their prediction. I see no need to make such predictions. Instead, I'll wonder how many bitcoins we'll have in our pockets come January. What does it mean to increase the price of bitcoin if we don't have much bitcoin in our wallet?

Don't use language that is difficult to understand and you don't even know how to place the word "inflation" in Bitcoin, even though Bitcoin is a Digital Asset that is more inflation-resistant than Traditional Currency. What you mean is that maybe Bitcoin will experience a decline before January and this is of course normal. Correction will occur when the market is sufficiently saturated and overbough, signs of correction will be visible and will occur soon, this is a fairly healthy market. only need to make a buyback when a correction occurs.

Maybe that's what the OP means by inflation is the price drop before January, but that's not exactly saying inflation against bitcoin.

Maybe corrections will always happen whether this will return to the original price where bitcoin experienced a long sideways or instead bitcoin moved up before January then this is the normal behavior that occurs in the crypto market, even if the correction later then buyback is a good way to wait a while before it happens, but I think the correction will not be so deep it will only stay above $30K.

We cant even predict on next minute on which this simply shows on how unpredictable the market is, on which there's no way that we could be able to tell on where it would be going on next minute.
Yes, we could really be having those indicators and tools but its not something to be that precise most of the time but it is really something better compared when you are really just making some blind
positioning in towards your trading  positions on which it would really be that causing for your losing chance to increase more. Now that we are really that fast approaching with halving then it would really be just that so common that we are assuming that bull run would take place. So what are the things that you would gonna do?

- Accumulating Bitcoin doesnt matter on what the price is.
- Accumulating some old altcoins that had dropped their price
- Accumulating some potential gems for this upcoming BR.

Since we do talk about Bitcoin and in month of January then its really hard to tell as always. We dont know the future
and we would never be and this is why every actions be taken would always random and so as with the results.

I never think of it in the first place because when I chose to invest in bitcoin, its always a long term investment goal. Regardless if there are positive events that could make the bitcoin price to skyrocket, it's good but I'm not into it thinking that much. However, if the bitcoin ETF will soon to be approve by January, for me that's big contribution on my bitcoin investment but to be honest, what I'm actually after is the positive outcome that is due to happen after bitcoin halving. The reason why I continue to DCA on bitcoin and maximize my bitcoin portfolio as much as possible.

I think otherwise, it is not yet time for the Bitcoin market to full transition to bull run.  I believe there is some Bitcoin price crash because whales will try to cash out and accumulate more before the halving happens.  The belief simply means that Bitcoin will not be having its bull run before the Bitcoin halving event.


Bitcoin is highly volatile. What it is showing today may not be showing tomorrow or worse would take an opposite trend.  We have seen this kind of scenario so many times, manipulators laying market bull traps to earn more money or accumulate more Bitcoin.  But I agree with you regardless of any trend, in Bitcoin holding is the best strategy to make a good profit.

Of course we can predict. We have been doing this even before BTC existed but we can't only predict with a 100 percent accuracy. But that's fine. At least this gives us a reason for us to have a discussion and not bore our selves holding for a certain period of time. Predicting tomorrow's price is much easier than predicting the price next month although again anything is still bound to happen especially if we are only small and have no power to manipulate the price.

There are predictors who mean it but some are only doing it for fun. If you hate it, just ignore them. But, you know what? Maybe they also hate people like you lol, so expect that they can also do the same action.

A prediction based on pure speculation ? Well , in this case ,I could see Bitcoin being stable in January around the same price that is right now. I'm sure a lot of us are hoping Bitcoin will be over 40k by January but I do find that target very hard to achieve but the end of January , should pump up the price towards 40k.

Charts are telling a different story and so far we can see accumulation phase but also a strong consolidation on around 38-39k that kinda makes the Bitcoin next move very unpredictable.  8)

I will continue to accumulate bitcoin regardless of the price because my selling target is much higher than the current price and I don't want to waste time as the halving event approaches. I still invest in altcoins a bit but I think this is still not the right time to buy altcoins, bitcoin should still be the priority at this stage. I believe bitcoin will not dump and make a new bottom but altcoins will most likely have more lows if bitcoin falls below $30k.

The word inflation means an increase in the price of something, and depreciate means the falling of the value of something. OP used both these words only to try and convey the message that Bitcoin is going to become more expensive before January and it won't lose value. However, the terms he used are usually used in economics and aren't suitable for this instance. He could say that the price of Bitcoin will increase, or Bitcoin will become more expensive, etc.

Anyways, Bitcoin is showing a strong stance at its current position. I was expecting that it might fall back to at least $30k in a few days after it touched $35.8k but I was wrong it has been stable above $33k since then and I'm starting to feel that the resistance at $35k won't be able to hold it for very long.

I agree, trying to make predictions that would be specific to a date could be wrong at all times, we are just making it up. You can have predictions that are a little bit more vague but could help you, something like "it will go up in the future", it says only the direction, doesn't say when it will go up, doesn't say how much it will go up, it just say in the future and direction. That type of prediction is doable and understandable and should be considered good, but anything more than that, anything more specific, could be very wrong and should not be done.

I think it would not make sense to listen to others on this neither, it would not be really anything that could make any changes on the long run and could be wrong one way or another.

Even I believe in the method of investing in Bitcoin throughout the year, It's one of task in my bucket list because if we are not a fulltime trader and wants to invest we will not be sure if it's the right time to invest or not and there are always chances that our funds may get struck if we invested during peak and prices crashes down and vice versa wherein we might not invest assuming it's peak but price will start increasing to a level that we wouldn't want to take risk. But if we make small investment every month then we will be in a much better position to sell bull the bullrun and we would have accumulated enough bitcoin to gain a decent profit.

Altcoins I have had bad experience when it comes to long term hence I have stopped investing into altcoins at the moment wherein ETH being an exception.

I used to say that since 2015 when we were in that long bear market that bitcoin is going up 100%. That's what we know. What we don't know is time.
It can go up next month or in 6 months but it's going up, that's all you should know when trying to decide if you should buy now or wait.
It's a very simple thing with bitcoin and so many people still don't get it more than 5 years since we were saying it in threads like this one.

To be honest, I have low expectations to get more of a surprise from bitcoin. We'll probably struggle below 40k, but maybe a fat finger will buy some bitcoin and take us there before the end of the year. Anyway, next year we're going to 40k without ETF approval and to a new ATH with it.

Currently we are experiencing market recovery which most of us always calls bullrun and of course we are in bull because those who invested when Bitcoin was around 25k has also gain about 10 to 20 percent increase to their investment. Then back to your question, I can say the market is so unpredictable because we can never tell what January could give birth to in terms of price changes rather we are always optimistic that something positive will likely happened, we know by next year we are about to experience another halving this impression has only given the market a strong information whereby people are being stirred up to start holding which is possibly giving the market a positive movement that has given bitcoin a push to the current price of 37k plus.

As price is up as compared to previous months so surely it will goes more higher than present worth because Bull run is on the way. January month will be a good month in which there is a hope that the price will go above 40k$ as these months are preparation months for halving. More people are buying bitcoin therefore when bitcoin buyers are more then more will be its worth.

Bitcoin was down for certain period of time but it does not mean that it depreciate but it was actually a way for buyer to buy more and hold until it gives profit to them. Bitcoin price is not stable yet therefore ups and downs can occurs anytime therefore during dump we should buy more to take fruitful outcomes during halving.

Giving us your views and why you said those may be help your post more likely to challenge our views
because I think you are just predicting here or copying what majority has already said that mostly before Year ends there is a bear
happening for how many year now. and also  at least give us some link to where do you read those and share your perceptions.
Mate .40k is the target before the year ends now

which means there might be a lowering in January , and that is why OP is asking now and giving His own views in this matter.

It could be that the predicted price achievement of $40K will occur this year because everyone has also seen how far the distance between $37K and $40K is. I also think that such a large figure is still quite possible this year considering that there is still more than a month for Bitcoin to reach and exceed it. Although some people haven't called this a bullrun trip.

A small decline that occurs in the short term does not need to be seen as a problem, because as long as the Bitcoin price range is still in the $37K area, I don't think it needs to be called a decline even though it might be very influential on traders who still like to take profits to short term in small price increases. I see Bitcoin prices starting to get better this month even though it is still ten days from the start of November.

Bullish has started since the price of bitcoin fell to $15,500 last year. If you do analysis for the 1 Week TF, then you will definitely agree with me that bullishness has been going on all this year. Price corrections are part of trading, but they have not changed the trend from bullish to bearish so far. Bitcoin has risen over 100% from its last ATL last year, so I can assume that the market has been bullish so far.

Until the 2024 halving, I hope this bullish trend does not change. Prices will still be expected to trend the same and I hope the bitcoin ETF and some other big news can support this optimism. All of us are waiting for the news which is said to be decided by the SEC soon, but there has been no confirmation when they will approve or reject it.

I get what you are trying to point out. This is what the whale does. They gain more confidence in the market and the price reverses a little when people try to make an entry. This is a well set trap for investors who don't look at the historical chart. Historical data shows one last major correction before the halving and this bull trap is designed for those events. I am not sure what bad could happen by that time that the market will make a big correction like this. I am not sure about other but the only thing I want to say is that I am also expecting a major correction before the final rally.

We must review the analysis data from each halving period on historical charts, the price movement pattern may be different but after the highest price is reached there will be a major correction which is predicted to see prices fall low like the data on each historical chart several years ago. They are taking advantage of the halving momentum next year to push up market prices, but we must be careful of the impact of a large correction that could occur at any time if many whales have taken their profits. But we have to review the market from various aspects and if the market pushes on the recovery ATH then we better be patient to not be affected by a small correction, chances are the market price will be higher to reach the next ATH.

Speaking about future events then there's no man on this world would really be able to know on where it would really be that going specially with Bitcoin or simply with other coins as well.
We've seen its always been that unpredictable and for sure that with the current movement that we do have now in BItcoin, for sure no one had been anticipated or predicted that we would be able to break that 35k ceiling and now we are playing on 37 and heading right to 40k to touch up that area on which its never been that a bad idea to make out some positioning if you are a short term trade but for those people
who are intending to have that long term approach then they wont really be putting up much care in talks about positioning yet every entry wont really mattering about the price.

This is why if you do see that in January we would really be on higher prices then its not bad to make some entry as of this moment but if you are waiting for some big dip then
it would really be just basically would be depending on your choice since not all would really be that too confident on having such approach.

I think you can see historical data on BTC price movements for December, whether one or two years ago, on cmc. The habit in December is that it is high, but will BTC's ATH continue to break through or will it still be below it? You must continue to monitor and buy BTC so that you don't miss out if the bull comes at any time, Bitcoin will definitely reach that in the trading market.

Inflation is the wrong term for it.
It will boom in January! ;)
ETF. That's the key to it. And I have seen different analyses in both crypto and other assets and they are mostly optimistic that Bitcoin will have a blast next year when the ETF is approved.
I mean just imagine a mere fake news could do. What more if it's real? The pump stopped because of the proof that the news leaked out was not real and there was a misunderstanding that made one of their employees get fired.
I am expecting 40k as the bottom price in January and it might become difficult to go down from that.
Then, of course, there's the halving that is so popular to every Bitcoin investor. This is the time when FOMO is high and we might see another wave up that might reach the all-time high.

next date for ETF approval will be Jan 2024. if it is still denied, i think SEC is manipulating the market through its news and the hopefuls are buying and then its denied all sells at a low price. i can imagine the crook bald man laughing up there. they'd be doing this over and over until no one believes in the approval thats when they approve it while the retail investors are bankcrupt.

BTC price may rises up again due to the near date of approval and moeny flows too. 40k is possible.

It is very possible that ATH in Bitcoin will be created again if price spikes continue to occur in Bitcoin in the next year or the following year, because this year it is less likely that this could happen. Moreover, the current price of Bitcoin is still too far from the previous ATH level in Bitcoin so the hope of many people is that it can have an effect that can encourage more buyers into the market at the end of this year and next year so that greater price achievements can soon occur in Bitcoin.

The possibility of reviewing market analysis at the end of the year does not match expectations for an increase in buying volume in the crypto market, previous analysis shows that the market will experience a correction due to the high coin conversion rate for holiday expenses or long holidays at the end of the year, so I hope there will not be a high correction to provide a signal of bullish market support will soon come next year, 2024 will be a year of long waiting which is expected to provide a surprise for all diamond hand holders.

Let’s be more optimistic and be more positive about the future of Bitcoin.
We can finally say that bear market is over and its about time now for us to enjoy the up trend. $40k before the year end is actually the target, let’s see if we can make it and start a new year with the best price so make sure to fill your wallet with the good coins and enjoy the bull trend.

It has been proven for bitcoin to go above it previous ATH at every halving bull run. So this is not a challenge because it has happened and repeated right from the beginning of bitcoin creation and this is the knowledge that investors have been working on to accumulate more coins this year so that during the halving bull, they will cash out some profit. So it is a good investment to hodl btc aince it reaches new ATH every four years and that means additional profit from your buying point.

December always shows the highest capacity of Bitcoins in a particular year. So currently Bitcoins are at 37k usd price. So definitely the price will go higher than this in December. It also indicates that, while entering January, we will see Bitcoins at a strong price point. Hence it is also seen that, 2024 will be big for Bitcoins and we might see new ATH price in 2024. So start accumulating the coins and sell when the price is high.

January for me with bitcoin there is not much to do, it is a static month, whether it is in a downward trend or a bullish trend, it is something that does not matter to me, I only know that if it is cheap you have to buy, because if not it goes up in ete December well it can go up in January 2024, and that is something that will happen, when I don't know but it is happening, some are predicting that it can happen, but I don't know if things can reach this year or next year So January is another month, the results can be good or bad, it is just an effect of what can happen in this coming December, it would be great to close the year with a new ATH, to see a very exciting January.

Hello op, I have read what you described and I think you should be prepared to welcome one of the interesting achievements in your portfolio's cash flow. Over the last few months we have seen Bitcoin prices below $30k and that is a pretty good moment to buy. In November, the price of Bitcoin was trading at $36k, which will confirm to us that by the end of this year the price of Bitcoin will touch $40k. And a bitcoin ETF would be a big boost to the rise in bitcoin prices early next year.

Apart from that, the big factor that makes one of the big events that will occur at the beginning of the year is the Halving. I think those who bought when prices were cheap in the previous few months have made quite good profits with the current increase.

Which of the coin are you talking about because I know quite well that bitcoin have that time, because bitcoin don't depreciate in value that much, basically bitcoin price fluctuates and no coin that  survive what bitcoin do survive in cryptocurrency industry, I believe that bitcoin is a coin that have its on way of regulations and degradation, it doesn't lose value drastically like other coins that have a little potential, in January it's obvious that instead of the price of bitcoin depreciate it rather increases.

I think he is talking about Bitcoin, however, like like the majority of us here, this is just his wild educated guess, with no TA backup. At least if someone will predict that by January the price is going down (that's how I interpret his post with words such as depreciate), they could have some analysis of their own.

And with the way that the price is moving this month, we might see the bullish sentiments still continuing up to the ends of the year or even at the start of 2024. And if by chance his predictions happen to be true that the price is going down in January, then we should simply take advantage of it and buy more because in the next coming months we will see the catalyst for a bull run which is the block halving.

Right now the price is looking as if it can at minimum remain at the current levels without too much of a problem, now I do not know if we will get an ETF approved this year, as it seems it is a little bit late for that, but I could see it happening during 2024 or 2025.

And if such a thing happened, the market that will most likely be bullish already will explode and the price will begin to grow very rapidly, then this seems like a good moment to accumulate more bitcoin before that happens.

As for ETFs, I personally don't think the SEC will approve any ETF proposals this year, we will most likely have to wait for that next year. Although we are staying above $35k the recent hype is due to ETF news so we also need to be careful that bitcoin could correct at any time if there is negative news about ETF.

The cheapest time to accumulate bitcoin has passed, but that does not mean that the current price is not suitable for buying. Accumulate bitcoin whenever you can, don't wait for the price to drop because we have bottomed out this bear season and that happened in 2022, IMO.

The current price of BTC is only $37000 and if you look at the price of last 1 month you can see that it has increased by almost 30 percent. Of course there can be a correction when the price is rising. But the market is stable between $35-37 k , we may see a price correction before next January which is not impossible. Moreover, considering the fact that Bitcoin halving will start towards the end of next year, we can also see Bitcoin in a stable position. But the market can turn at any time which is not impossible. It is also not unusual for a big dump to precede a big bull market.

I think it's given that majority of the answer says it will go down mate  and like them I also believe this is what we are heading , strong October ending and strong November Holding , but as December comes to end ? for sure like what we had the recent years a small dump will come.
maybe what he says is the coming months mate or in January when before Halving take effect , that the price will rise again and will make a good growth like what we expected in the coming months and even in the next year from that.

You simply do not know much about trading and investment and I can easily tell with your construction of this question and the body. Well, Bitcoin is stuck now, I don't expect much to happen between now and January as there are now determined buyers that would hold the coin till next year simply because of the much-anticipated tradition called Halving. This means that selling might be limited but just as the buying power as well. Prior to this tradition, everyone informed of Bitcoin would want to hold it, so I don't expect the market capitalization of the asset which currently stands at $727B would go below $680B till January and this should continue to keep the market far above $29,000 as I don't expect it to breach that level anymore this year.

Also on the upside, Bitcoin might not be able to breach another much-anticipated level of $40,000 this year and even till January. There are many resistance/barriers waiting for it along the way and the ETF which is the fueling power of Bitcoin right now has already stuck. The rest is for the market to majorly fulfil the law of demand and supply through traders' and investors' sentiments until January when the ETF saga would be rekindled.

Mind you, it's all long-term bullishness for Bitcoin and you might want to read one of my topics about it here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5471365.msg63042399#msg63042399).

Currently everything can still be done and there is still preparation time before 2024 arrives and someone must know what will happen even though nothing is certain in the world of digital currency trading. Many people say that. So I naturally started reading the market and looking for ways to buy it by looking at the depth of new bitcoins and immediately putting in our entries.

That True. BTC can easily do it all. However, the main problem is that we are often pressed by unexpected needs even though we have prepared well. Did you know that every month there are things that are unexpected and beyond our wishes, even though there is spare money to cover these needs, these needs are very urgent and important, right? we have to get out of the market. On average, this is the obstacle why many people are not optimal in implementing the BTC HODL pattern.

the possibility of going up above 40k is high, however, it still depends on various factors. hopefully, there will be no last minute big crypto company failing or suddenly submitting their bankruptcy. or similar ftx drama. if all goes well, we will be heading to more than 40k coming this january. if that will happen and you have such strong feeling about it, why not collect more to add in your vault? but at the end of the day, it will be you who will call the shots as it is your money at stake.

When you have spare money for life or to face unexpected things in your own life, actually that is good enough because there is no longer any interference from you to implement the BTC HODL pattern. Because usually those who experience problems like that very often are people who don't have spare money in their lives so when there are difficulties, they often take it from the investment capital that has been provided for Bitcoin. So you shouldn't experience any pressure in life if you have prepared everything well to face unexpected things in your life.

Yes, that's true but we can prepare it through reserve money to cover these urgent needs. That is why we need to make a budget allocation for each of our household needs every month. By managing our finances, we can meet our needs well without any obstacles.

And anything could happen to Bitcoin before January. But in the long term, the Bitcoin price will likely exceed the previous ATH price. That is why we must prepare ourselves to be able to own more Bitcoin. And that is the reason for investors to keep holding their Bitcoin until the new ATH is reached.

Nowadays, people are still trying to increase their number of Bitcoins because their target is to make Bitcoin a long-term investment. And if before January, the price of Bitcoin experiences a decline, they don't feel worried and it would even be a good time to buy more Bitcoin.

Hey that's so true as there are some unexpected expenses which will come up in form of medical exigency or be it expenses like something gets broken down for example unexpected sickness, car needs to be serviced or even dropping out mobile/laptop by mistake. We always need additional bucks in our coffee but that's next to impossible with just single source of income as we need multiple stream of income to tackle all these unplanned expenses but it's not everyone's cup of tea to have multiple stream of income and I belong to the later category hence I usually buy BTC during bear run and hold it and I have set a fixed amount from my monthly paycheck which goes towards BTC to accumulate it and occasionally I use the profits for unexpected expenses. This may sound easy but it's really difficult to set the right pattern and follow it. If we do then we will have some sort of security and back up for unplanned expenses.

Since January I have not expected anything, because it is the beginning of the year and Expectations are difficult to see or perceive, I think that when it comes to how to get an idea of what is going to happen, follow people like Those who write articles will see what they can advise, but by the end of this year I do expect good things, they are saying that the Bticoin growth cycle is 4 years, by 2024 we will have an almost full cycle, because it is a year that promotes a lot and many analysts have agreed that it can rise at the end of 2024 , but I hope that things can change and look good by this 2023, at the end.
​

What I think is that the price will keep moving high and possibly reach $40k.
And asking if this is the best time to invest, you'd still have to think about it because I don't say it was a good time to accumulate but it was you who are willing enough to hold. Even though the market has shown good at this time and even though we are optimistic for the coming days, still we can't assure that it will go that way. This is why if we have to invest now, we are also willing to hold if the price goes down.

The market price is quite struggling and a price correction could take place anytime. I'f say this is not the right time and it would be much better to wait for a little longe until the market shows a better direction. If it is with next year's first month, there is a higher chance for a dump given that halving is anticipated for next year. just like with the previous one, the market price did not increase in an instant and in a straight line. So for now, waiting would be better. If the price breaks the resistance $40k, then it could be a good chance to DCA and swing trade. And if you already have holdings, do the same thing; wait for the 'right' price where you would be satisfied with the profit you are about to earn.

You just make random predictions without doing any analysis, right? and everyone can do that, especially when the price of Bitcoin is increasing, there is usually a prediction that the price will soon fall and vice versa. The decline or rise in the short term is the focus of day traders because they really take advantage of short-term movements, while investors may not care too much about all these predictions because the target is long term and the shortest period, for now, is to see the movement after the halving to start taking a profit.

If we are talking "SPARE MONEY" here I don't think there will ever be a problem either if He is
for HODLING or trading or semi long term and even what form of investing he plans because the funds is just spare
that which available to lose any time .this is the powerful investing when we are using our spare money not like
those others that tries to invest their money for living that made them desperate to gain earning by all means
and I hate this to happen to me as i am ready to whatever happen in the future , our money inside crypto must
 be consider to fail or to gain like what we are using when we are in gambling.

I think the depreciating limit Bitcoin can go in price from November to January is $35k. It can't fall below that. What we will be seeing is a positive trend of bitcoin fighting to rise above $38k till it reaches $40k by January. When it does that, the next price it will push forward is $50k, which will be during the bitcoin halving.

The very opportunity you and I  have to have an additional Bitcoin in our portfolio is this time around. if we tend to miss it, we miss a good opportunity to accumulate more bitcoin at a low piece since we are all looking forward to the bull run by next year.

I think 42k by dec 1
I think 48k by jan 1

I think we retrace in Jan 2024

There is absolutely no confidence in trusting you as long Bitcoin maintains a highily level of volatility, all predictions are termed "assumption". However, you made your point so as to me, Bitcoin doesn't have a minimum or a maximum appreciative volume though any prediction can be possible but don't be so confident when you think Bitcoin has reached its depreciative limit.

Don't forget Bitcoin historical price charts where the value rate was $68,789 at 2021 and since then til date the market values is yet to beat the history after it depreciated again.
I am only trying to say that you shouldn't be surprised if the market value goes lower that it's current value by the January as you may guess it would appreciate.

The movements we keep seeing seems to be going strong, which is awesome if you ask me. I mean it could have peaked and then started to fall as well and yet none of that is happening, we are seeing the situation growing bigger and better. I believe that the best thing to do in this case would be just focusing on how greater we could get, I believe that we are going to end up with a much better situation in the end, and could be done better. I feel like we are going to keep growing, I feel like there was a moment when that was in doubt, but looking at the current situation I have no doubt left at all, I do believe that its going to keep growing stronger than ever before.

I just believe the fact that nobody can tell what will happen next and even seeing the current sentiment of the market, still not the assurance that we go in that direction as dump and pump is inevitable to happen. Well, we all are optimistic as the bear season is over, we started to think positively and a massive pump of Bitcoin.

Currently, the situation is good, the price of Bitcoin slowly rolling up high but it is still hard to get strong resistance. This is why we can't hold confidence that early next year we are totally bullish already, not this time until halving creates a huge impact on the trend.

What's specific with before January for Bitcoin? ETF approval or what we do really have? It's the same question that we're getting about from the other threads of what was going to happen to Bitcoin on specific months.

Come on, we don't know what shall happen but we're all just speculating and predicting based on the sentiments of the market and the news that we're gathering.

If the good news are coming then mostly it will add more positive impact to halving which is estimately to happen by April of 2024.

That is very much expected, but maybe we need to go through a discounted price on "BLACKFRIDAY" before reaching $40k++.

Looking at how the chart has been in the past, maybe Bitcoin still needs one more correction at $34k-$31k before continuing the bull run until April with a target of $46k++ to the main target of $51k-$59k.

Everyone knows about that, all of this is just speculation and making predictions based on market sentiment and past market history.

But that way we still have a definite data reference, If the trend changes and there's good and bad news,
that's a fundamental influence and that's what's going to give us the change in any upside or halving that happens.

But seeing how the cycles in the past, the cycles are almost the same.
May and April will be months full of surprises.

for the first time in my forum days that will see this continues increase from December to first day of January  because mostly what i witnessed is that before december ends , the price usually starts to lowering .

Hoping that this will happen as I am waiting for 45k price before considering to adjust my holdings readying for the upcoming ball market.

if ETF approval will happen before or in the month of Halving , then we are seeing the greatest increase in prices
for our long years here that happened .

I agree.

The cycles and the data for what we're referring too don't have that much difference. It's still the same 4-year cycle pattern that we're seeing. And with that, we're all just waiting for the time to come as the actual activation of the bull run.

Most of the news that we're seeing prior to Bitcoin are mostly good. Those exchanges, etc. bad news that have came out have been seen to be not that much strong of its influence to Bitcoin's price.

What inflation? Do we have inflation in Bitcoin? If you mean bearish trend, we already experienced it in the last 2 years. I also think there will be no more huge dump since the lowest price was already reached in 2022. But if you mean the price correction, it always happens after we have some price improvements.

Regarding the prediction about bullrun, we already guessed it to happen in 2024-2025. However, there is no exact time when the highest price to achieve. It depends on the demand in the next 1-2 years. It may also be influenced by the hype related to halving trend.

Anyway, I don't expect much about the price progress before January. I only hope Bitcoin price can be around $45k before January. So, it probably begins to move to $50k in January. If this can happen, I think the current ATH ($69k) can be achieved within the halving time.

I'm not sure what you are saying, how do you know that next January there will be a big change in the price of Bitcoin, Is it just a guess or speculation that can be justified, what are your factors and reasons for believing Bitcoin can rise and develop.

Indeed, there has been a lot of speculation and predictions about Bitcoin lately, but if I consider the current economic and investor situation in the world, next year Bitcoin will be a little hampered, as has been speculated by Bitcoin experts, This is due to several factors that are currently occurring and in addition to the worsening global crisis.

It is true that halving occurs once every four years, but with the current Bitcoin price situation being very high, this is different from the Bitcoin price during the last halving, whatever happens, hope for the best, but not next January.

No one can accurately predict how the price of Bitcoin will move before January 2024. Currently, the bitcoin market is in a good trend where the price of bitcoin has experienced a significant increase to reach $37k. However, anything could happen at the end of this year, it could be that the price of bitcoin will be corrected again before experiencing a significant increase. Therefore, let's see how far the price of bitcoin will move at the end of this year until the beginning of next year.

I obviously not sure what will be the price of bitcoin by january. You know, it's hard to tell and predict when all you are seeing now is a positive price for bitcoin, definitely you would always aim to stay that way or reach even higher amount. But bitcoin does not work like that. While everyone is expecting it to reach a new all time high, then suddenly the price turns into a roller coaster.

That is a big challenge for those who are still starting to invest, if they continue to be patient and remain hodling, or they will immediately sell to cut their future losses. But as for me, the current price of bitcoin is only temporary, so just let it pass and continue to hold and decide to sell only when the market is giving us an opportunity to sell.

Most of it is good, but some bad news also has a lot of influence on the impending downturn.
It is a manipulative market, who has control on the big media he can manipulate easily to influence something entity.

We will wait for how the price of Bitcoin when it enters December.
But now the price of Bitcoin is back stable at $37++ and this is good enough to step into even higher prices, just how the market trend works.

---

The halving trend will be a positive trend during 2024-2025, and this will make the Bitcoin market soar.
We all aim for an ATH to happen between those years, reaching an ATH of $100++ is still a reasonable target.

New investors are starting to enter and there will be more and more holders, this will make the price of Bitcoin go up even more.
But Bitcoin has already passed the last ATH price of $68k, and it will be a big wall to tear down.

The halving trend has been the main trigger for increasing market prices in the last few months and we hope that December will be the month of highest price recovery to approach ATH prices, but it looks like December is not a positive month for crypto because many people are converting their assets for holiday expenses, but I'm sure December This will be different, expect many investors to maintain their crypto assets until the halving trend next year.

There is some truth in what you said in reality; that's why the market here in Bitcoin and crypto is called unpredictable.But it's just my observation that when I started here with Bitcoin, every year that passes in the month of December, there is always a massive kick in the price value of Bitcoin.

And every time this happens, the top cryptocurrencies also follow suit, and their market values also rise, as if they are also pulled up with high trading volumes and high market capital as well. But the weak cryptos are pulling down their price values in the market.

Bitcoin must pass the sale, and after that Bitcoin will start rising until the halving occurs.

But to enter the real Bull run and reach a new ATH again.
BTC can reach its peak starting from 18 months from the BTC Halving (April 2024), precisely in October 2025.

It will happen depending on what the scenario will be,
because in the past, such cycles often occurred and made Bitcoin reach its highest price after the halving.

Another factor is that it is simply too early for bitcoin to present a massive movement at the moment, if people were expecting for bitcoin to do that, you can be sure that even if the holidays were coming they will not spend their bitcoin as they anticipated a massive growth in the price.

But since this is not the case, then people feel more free to sell a part of their holdings so they can celebrate those days with their loved ones.

Many people are of the opinion that Bitcoin can achieve a new ATH even before the halving, the possibility is there and I tend to agree with them. The main reason for this is that if the Bitcoin ETF gets approved before the halving by April next year,  it is very much likely that Bitcoin might rise and create a new ATH. Remember that Bitcoin already made over 100% move this year without any major news, just the speculation around halving and ETF. Another 100% move from the currency price of $37,800 will be an easy ride for Bitcoin when the news of halving is confirmed.

The ATH target before the Halving was still quite early, and it really needed a lot of fuel to get to ATH again.

Before the halving occurs, there will be many obstacles with the circulation of a lot of FUD that starts to attack, it has been a cycle that has happened before.

ETF is currently a good indicator as a support for Bitcoin to push the price up and break through the nearest resistance.
A lot of speculation is circulating about ETFs, but we just need to wait for how this ETF decision will happen, good and bad it will also be determined by manipulators because the market is now dominated by whales who want cheaper prices.

I guess by January it will be bull run through out the year because, we are seeing some signs that look like people will begin to sell their coins in a high price that will give them another opportunity to buy when the price is low again in the future. If you are still waiting for another decrease to come before you can buy BTC, I think you are wasting yourself time because the price of BTC has moved to $37k for short term hodlers to get ready for massive bull run that will help hodlers to make a good profits.

I have invested in BTC when the price was $25k and, I don't have any worry about my investment because I know that bull run will show up next year for the price of BTC to reach $50k before I can sell to make a good profits.

I agree with you that there are a lot of obstacles on the way to the ATH before the halving. Besides, Bitcoin requires strong fuel to make such outstanding move just like you posited. I think that this year's halving and market movement seems a little different and unique from the rest of them. Like you noted, the ETF speculation is one factor that has the potential of creating the much needed fuel to see Bitcoin rise above the ATH. But there is no guarantees that the ETF will be approved anytime soon.

Many people have also expressed concerns on the what the market will do should the ETF be rejected again by January. Maybe those are the surprises that will be used to manipulate the market before the halving.

there will be many surprises happening before ATH is reached.
We'll see how whales manipulate so they can set up the market the way they want.

Remember that whales will buy at a cheaper price if they don't already have enough of the desired asset.
there will be some corrections to be made before Bitcoin reaches its highest peak again.

In any case, as small traders, we should also be prepared with spare money to buy back if a correction comes suddenly,
but we are still quite safe and will still be held above the $30++ price.
But if it has to drop to the $20k++ price area, it will go into a bear market again.

Just one month is remaining for the month of January and I think that after January we will not see dip again till April. But due to Volatility no one can guess about future happening. If the booming in price goes smoothly then surely we will see 45k$ worth till January. Bull run is initiated and steadily but surely we will see new higher worth of bitcoin very soon that never exist before.

Bitcoin price is reduces to some value as in previous week it was about 38k$ but now its worth is 36k$ so we hope for the best that it don't go down more than this rate because as if more reduction happens then attaining huge value again will takes time.

I think there will be a surprise in December where a good rise to break the $40k resistance can be expected. The market currently seems to be correcting due to over buying, but this is only for a while before expecting another rally. Of course nothing is certain about the market until we get to the reality, that volatility will obviously be inherent.

I never hopes bitcoin price to have a major correction especially to test support below $30k by the end of the year. Of course the potential for a price correction to $35k is there, but I tend to remain optimistic about a $40k hit in December.

It will certainly take time, It is not easy for Bitcoin to break through some of the strongest resistances.
The $30k++ area is still the strongest support to hold Bitcoin from falling below that price, and now Bitcoin is still stable at $37k++.

---

The surprise in December will determine whether Bitcoin is able to reach the price of $40k or not, the highest resistance is currently at the price of $38k++ and if Bitcoin can break through the price of $40k it will be a fairly decent price in December.

It also depends on how positive the Bitcoin trend is.
The potential for a correction will always be there when Bitcoin is able to break through the nearest resistance.
Corrections are good for the market and an indication that the market is in good and normal condition.

Well, with only a month left I'm inclined to think it will stay more or less where it is or undertake a slight rise above $40K. I do not expect big movements towards the end of the year unless we have news about some ETF spot, so it is normal that the price at the beginning of January will not be very different from now.

January, will still be sideways and will not show a reversal towards higher levels.
I think you are exaggerating, but maybe one of my or your predictions is correct.
because there will only be 2 choices up or down.
but you can consider other things too to strengthen your predictions.

Though I totally understand that the market is highly volatile and it doesn't necessarily have to move in the same way as it did in the past, I'm still pretty optimistic for an uptrend in the first couple of months of 2024 because the same happened this year and since we are in the pre-bull-run phase right now, I would expect that to happen again since after a few months in the new year, we will have the halving event which is considered to be the bull run initiator though it doesn't have to be that way all the time.

So, I'm not expecting any big corrections in December, even if it does correct itself, it won't go any lower than the $34k - $33k range and will start recovering again once we hit the new year and hopefully, by the time of the halving event, the price will be around $45k or roughly $50k, in my opinion.

Only noobs are the ones who would be thinking that this would really be gonna a smooth sail ride because to those who had been here on this market for a while will really be telling the different thing.
There's no way that we could be able to tell on what would happen in the future, even on tomorrows price is something that cant be known considering that news and issues do really pop out immediately
and could cause that huge devastation or effect into the market whether it would be that positive or negative. There's no way on telling on what would happen next and this is why it would be always
ideal that we should really know on to set those back up plans because certain conditions or situations does really need some wise decisions.

As we do go near on Bitcoin halving, then tons or most people would be expecting for some climb but for those who had been here do really goes after for that huge last price dump before
Bull run enters. It would really be that pertaining always about after halving event on which it is an indication that we are really that near but speaking about future
then there would be no guarantee as always.

Being wrong in price predictions is quite normal for everyone because everyone cannot see market conditions in the future even though they can speculate on things that have happened before. And I also think that in January maybe Bitcoin will still experience sideways like now, but it will probably happen at a different price because the potential increase in December can still occur so there is a possibility for Bitcoin going sideways in January in slightly different price levels.

The halving event is the catalyst and the beginning of a new bull season, but don't forget one thing. Historically, an uptrend will appear some time after the halving event ends, usually 6 months or 1 year. So, we should not be too optimistic that there will be no more bearishness and bitcoin will only rise and rise from now on.

I don't know why the OP is questioning the bitcoin price before January, but I believe that the bitcoin price will still decline and correct before and after the halving. We won't be entering bull season anytime soon without another correction.

I think after January bitcoin will start to slowly rise because currently, bitcoin is still stable if we can see a price of 40k at the end of this month. Hopefully in December bitcoin can slowly rise and then reach 50k.
Q1 2024 will determine the price of bitcoin before the halving.

Better to focus on trying out to predict on what would happen after the halving event rather than on stressing ourselves thinking before the halving. Its true that this one would be the catalyst of everything on which you did really get a point and this is the most nearest thing on which we could really be able to observed on. Somewhat its not really that bad to make some spot on in regards on potential price entries or the moment you do
make out position with the current prices. For example, we are making investment on 38k  level, then it would be so impossible that you wont really be thikning for possible dip or correction?
In every step you would make, there would really be that a specific hesitance and worry because of volatile and unpredictable prices.

In speaking about prices in January, then there's no way that we could be able to know or on whats ahead. This is why there's lots of speculations and guesses around
about the upcoming price specially on year 2024 where everything would really be looking interesting for that next year. Lets see on what would happen and it would be
wise that you should really be making your position before its too late.

The majority are expecting a bullish next year because of the halving which we can think that this year seems like we are moving uphill and it needs strong support of move. And I would say that despite the current movement of Bitcoin, still we are not sure that it will go straight high before this year-end, I was expecting some price dump like what normally happens in the market. But not like in the middle of the year that we get stuck below $30k, I was positive that it remains about $30k this December.

if there are good news about approval of ETF then rally in january might be possible, im really eager to see whats bitcoin gonna be turning out in the next year since if you've read many analyst statement these past few month so many people are actually already thinking of next year as the year where bitcoin investment will flourish. basically it will be bullrun all around the year for bitcoin I think.
but that with a big if bitcoin and ethereum news regarding ETF gonna be good.
because honestly speaking, we're not that far from january, only about 30 days left and I guess nothing of significance will happen instead i'd be more fixated on the fact that it might be the last best time to accumulate.

There's some Bitcoin ETF approval or review along the timeline of January if I'm not mistaken. So yeah, there could be good news for us before the block halving. Or maybe the SEC will deny it again, so it's going to be a continued speculation and maybe the timing of the approval is after the block halving. If that happens then it's going to be a lot of FOMO again and pushing bitcoin's price off to the moon again.

And then we will were those kind of buzzwords, usually we hear it during bull run. In any case, we still have a lot of weeks and months in front of us to accumulate and be ready January next year or throughout 2024, a money year according to astrology.

Left four months before January and seems strong predicting Bitcoin will raise to higher price, I don't think with inflation or bitcoin will going drop exactly four months left before halving always have good news to make bitcoin raise to higher price. Current bitcoin price keep stable I think no doubt for predicting bitcoin will be on higher price before January and next year looks more promising with bitcoin keep stable higher price.

---

This most important thing to know bitcoin way will up or down, ETF approval is most important aspect to make bitcoin will up to higher price but if keep delay with ETF approval and added with FUD from SEC Commission I think difficult expect bitcoin will be promising price on next year or before January.

We are about to enter December, which means there is only 1 month left until January and the halving is expected to take place in April, perhaps you are a bit confused here.

I remember, the uptrend usually appears some time after the halving takes place, it does not come before or immediately when the halving takes place. Therefore, if you think that between now and the halving there will be no more price drops, that is a somewhat subjective thought. I'm not saying there will be any more major dumps, but some correction will happen and it could even drop below $30k again. I wouldn't be surprised if that happens.

That's not very likely to happen, it's a three-month duration from January to April and it doesn't sound possible that the market won't have any dip at all throughout that duration when the market tends to be highly volatile and we know that volatility doesn't just make it go up all the time.

Though it's possible but unlikely again. The price of Bitcoin will probably retest lower ranges once again before going towards $45k or $50k and that doesn't seem to be happening just within the next month since we don't see strong movement at the moment.

Ask anyone in the market, and you will hear them say that they don't want the market to go down unless it's someone who has missed the buying opportunities and wants to buy more and wishes that the market drops at least once before the bull run. But, the market doesn't move according to our hopes and wishes.

Well, the current trend is optimistic with lots of positive news in November, and I predict that opportunity will also remain in December, the year-end market will maintain a slow rise in the face of optimism( 45k) based on The reaction affecting the market will then be an increase - adjustment in January and February (Lunar New Year).

if ETF news is around the corner I dout there will be adjustment in january and february honestly. so many peolpe has been voicing their speculation in regards of the end of the year gonna be bearish market for bitcoin like the years before but we all know this isn't true instead its always going through barriers of resistance right now even about to break through $40k.
this gonna be different trend for bitcoin so I think i need to be optimistic that the next year gonna be bullish for bitcoin in general and after that will be some altcoin season that gonna comes up.
before january i'm sure bitcoin will reach $45k and in the next year, maybe it will reach all time high, but regardless even though that might seems like a weak speculation, but we all know ETF news around the corner and could change the market right away.

  Well, everything we say will still remain opinions and speculations; it's up to us if we believe the predictions of others. At least the important thing is that we can see that most of the people who will answer this are sure that the value is still in a positive uptrend because we are bullish now.

  Maybe this is also a way to distinguish what majority prediction can happen before the end of this month, because there are other platforms that conduct a gimmick where the participants who can predict the closest price win.

December will definitely play an important role for the Bitcoins next year. Everyone has predicted that Bitcoins follow a 4 year cycle to reach all time high price. Last time Bitcoins were up at 69k usd in 2020, so definitely 2024 will be big for the Bitcoins. If Bitcoins manages to touch 45k usd by the end of December then during 2nd half of 2024, there is high possibility that we will see new ATH price of Bitcoins. So let’s accumulate as many Bitcoins as we can before the bull run.

It is important at what price December will end for Bitcoin, but it is still not a determining factor as to where the price will go next. As you said, cycles are the most determining factor in price. We are now at the beginning of a new cycle and we know the price will increase.

In my opinion, with the halving time so close, we should look for ways to increase our investment before the big rise, rather than how the Bitcoin price will be determined every month. A price around 40 thousand may occur at the end of this month, but there may be big changes in the price in January. So, although there is no definitive information on this subject, we all agree that the Bitcoin price will rise and we will enter the bull season. The only thing we need to do is to increase our investment amount.

There are things we need to pay attention to while increasing our investment amount. Maybe there will be a drop in price and it will be better for us to wait for that time and the amount of Bitcoin we will buy will increase. So it's best to create your own plan and act accordingly.

I’m skeptical on what’s gonna be the real impact of ETF approval in long term. Surely the price will pump when the news of approval release to the public but the problem is the long term price growth. ETF Spot Bitcoin will give higher liquidity for Bitcoin which means it will lessen the volatility in general.

I’m not sure if the massive pump that we can see in the past is still possible if the spot ETF is already in play.

I think we go over 42k and push near 48k.

I also think we pull back in Jan and take off.

The closing price of Bitcoin at the end of this year is indeed likely to exceed $40K because from the current market conditions there are many people who are making speculation or temporary conclusions for the price of Bitcoin which is likely to exceed $40K by the end of this year. I am more optimistic about the price of $42K or $43K than the price of $45K because currently Bitcoin is still staying below $40K so the opportunity to reach the price of $45K doesn't seem easy because we only have time this month to see what percentage Bitcoin will continues to increase from the current price.

ETF approval might sounds really be that so good considering that huge funds would be streaming or flowing into the market which could make those price or value would really going up or increase but in exchange i do have doubts that it would really be that be more centralized considering on what are those regulatory aspects that would be applied then this is something that totally oppose on Bitcoins overall essence of its existence on which i dont really like on having this kind of type of growth on which it is really that prone to control and possible manipulation but somewhat if ever this one is been approved there would be still
ways and methods on trying to get out with those eyes.

Speaking about on what would happen in the future then this is something a question that cant really be answered honeslty, there's no way that anyone could really be able to tell on
what would happen ahead and instead on pressuring yourself or making some worry then it would be better not to have at all.

I think Bitcoin will still rise in January, and start to fall in February to March, and when the halving starts, because everyone will dump first and buy at the bottom again.
but my predictions could be wrong.who knows ;D

I know where you are coming from as we have not seen any signs of dip or massive sell off yet which was speculated and it's little bit difficult to predict this time because initially even I though Bitcoin will dump in second half of December but at the moment things looks more positive and we are expecting Bitcoin to cross $50k mark this month. I feel next two weeks will decide whether Bitcoin will retract back or prosper further in the month of January. Even though it looks like Bitcoin will continue to pump but the experience we had in the past years unfolds a different story.

There is no problem with you thinking like that because price speculation arises from our own thoughts, although each person must not forget things that happen very often in the market. In January, there is indeed a possibility for Bitcoin to continue to increase, but at the moment I still don't think that this will happen significantly. Likewise with the following month, we cannot provide more responses because we still have to see market conditions in January first.

I agree that it is not that simple, there are a lot of people who make a lot of mistakes but in the end we are talking about a situation that would not be all that clear, we are talking about a lot of people who know what they are doing and all the people here on bitcointalk are trying their best. I would pick anyone here, even a random person, instead of some influencer online, they make it up, people here at least try to find a data that they can base their predictions on.

I agree that fall could happen, we have gone up way too much, so a fall wouldn't be all that crazy, I understand why something like that could be what people are fearing right now, but I just feel like it is not on the books yet so there is no need to worry about it.

Nobody knows exactly what will happen to the price of bitcoin next year so I believe that instead of the price of bitcoin to be decrease the price of bitcoin will increase to a point that it will be unexpected from my areas of understanding of the bullrun come 2024, so from my understanding concerning bitcoin price, I believe that the price of bitcoin will get more accelerated.

It is possible that the price of Bitcoin next year will rise because in 2024, the Bitcoin halving will occur on April 14, 2024, at 01:09 UTC. At that time, Bitcoin will be increasingly difficult to mine, so the price will become very expensive. Before that happens, it is better to buy several Bitcoins or altcoins that have the potential to follow Bitcoin price movements.

We can expect good rise in the price of bitcoin in connection with the halving. However nothing is assured. For now the price increase is good and it is around $44k. Some form of price correction can be expected which might take the price down to $40k and from there once again we can expect the market to bounce and cross the $50k barrier by January.

Bitcoin has been of a success from the second quarter of this year and all analysis at this period of the ending of the year to January next year and with how the price has performed currently it will definitely indicate a good price rise for bitcoin in the start of next year. We know for a certain nobody can actually say what will happen to the price of bitcoin as the new year would start if the bullrun will take off before the expected months or after, however, it doesn't mean that a fall can't happen and if it does happen it wouldn't be a significant fall based on how close within we are for the bullrun.

The current market correction conditions do not match expectations because there is a very high drop, concerns about the current market case could trigger a decline below $35k because the market has corrected 6% for today and the next correction will come, I am not speculating negatively for a market correction but we have given the opportunity to increase the portfolio in market conditions where there is resistance. I remain optimistic in the initial prediction that the market will reach $50k in the era waiting for the halving or after the halving but I can confirm that 2024 will be the return to glory of the crypto market.

Now that the price had made out some drops on $2-3k but people do really freak out that it is really like that we are really that dropping that like on -10k which it isnt really that shocking for people to have this kind of impression on which they are really that anticipating that things might gotten more worst but on the time that we do realize that these corrections are healthy ones then people wont really be that
freaking out whenever the market would really be behaving on this way. If you've been here sitting and dealing up with this market for a while now then you wouldnt really be able to find yourself
that highly impulsive when it comes to things that do happen.

If we do speak about on future events then there's no man into this world would really be able to tell you on what would gonna happen and this is why we do really make out those
speculations and guesses that we can do here on this space. We should bare in mind that it might really be looking fine on what we are seeing tha
but really lets assume that things turns out to be that come salty at some point and on point.

Inflation you think? I think it would have happened before getting into November but I think is not going to happen anytime soon, maybe late February. I don't think the depreciation is going to happen next year,let's see how the coming weeks well look like.

I believe a correction, that too a healthy one, is imminent and we are going to witness that very soon. I know that the price went up to $44.7k and came back down to $41k, but that isn't a healthy correction as it dropped slowly and is recovering again, by a healthy correction I mean that it will almost get back to $35k or around that, might even go lower, and it will then start rallying up once the halving event is done and more investors will start pouring in.

I think a correction of that nature is more important for Bitcoin's overall growth because most retail investors will only start onboarding if they get a better price, a very large percentage of investors are holding their funds and waiting thinking that the price is too expensive right now and they will buy when it gets lower.

Yesterday could be latest correction for bitcoin before raising above $50k and seems next year bitcoin will raise to higher price, after raising $44k bitcoin get enough correction until dropped to $40k but potential before January price will raise around $50k. Usually correction is natural with bitcoin after raising higher price and keep stable for several weeks, but not get bigger effort with this time correction and bitcoin success return to higher price again few days later after correction moment.

Probably after correction will have moment for bitcoin raise more than latest higher price, seems before end this year bitcoin get chance with new higher price for 2023 year around $50k to $55k if not get bad news close with Christmas day.

Increase and decrease can happen all the time in Bitcoin's price and we cannot predict that once it reach to higher value will not come again to lower but we aquire knowledge that these inappriciable shift in price are momentary. Although it is facing slight dip like 41k$ but Before 2024 bitcoin attained the higher value of 44k$ which increases the number of investors of bitcoin.

Now we are just making assumptions because it is guaranteed fact that upto halving period bitcoin will sometimes go through decreasing phase and sometimes it will slide via enhancement phase. May be it reaches to the value of 48k$ till end of December because we are much closer towards halving.

Indeed!

There's no way on knowing on what the future looks like and this is why if you do believe something that could possibly happen then it would your choice on making out some immediate step on which
i couldnt really be able to blame out people on what are the things that they would gonna do. We do have our own methods and ways on how we would be handling ourselves into this market.
There's no way that we could be able to tell on what would gonna happen in the future on which it would really be just that right that you should be prepared for whatever things that might happen into that
positioning that you had made out.

Always expect for the worst that could possibly happen on point because there's no way that we can be able to tell on what would happen ahead.
Just like you said that this market is random and could behave randomly. So its really not something that you can make out some conclusions.

Of course, there will be always the increase and decrease of the Bitcoin price. We all know that Bitcoin price is volatile, it always fluctuates every time.
Everyone can predict the price although it is just speculation only. But surely to make a proper prediction, we need good knowledge. Predicting the price without good analysis, is just like guessing nonsense.

The current price is above $41k, it increases gradually to $42k-$43 again. I think the price of Bitcoin will try to pass $45k before January. Sure, it is possible to reach $48k although I'm not really sure of it. I just hope that Bitcoin price won't drop again below $40k at the end of this month.  :-\

Before January meaning it is December right?  but we are in December now and bitcoin increases more than what the value when you created this thread so are we expecting that price will drop badly next  week or next?

I doubt that any of your thoughts are valid nor will happen because I can see that market will continue showing strength till January or even until  February .

Exactly the  point i try to portray everytime whenever I see someone highlighting very vividly his insight on the price of Bitcoin. With my little time here around the crypto space I have to the little understanding that Bitcoin price is not something that anyone is certain about and they is no guarantee as what we all do is merely just speculation on the price and the actual price that it might reach.

However, there are no definite predictions or valid analyzes that can be responsible for certain market conditions in the future, all market patterns can change when hit by unexpected news and the market can also increase significantly when positive news is published in market conditions that are recovering. so we don't yet know what the market position will be like in the future, but with the current market conditions we can be sure that the market will achieve the highest price recovery until the halving period or Q1 period, the halving period is the expected support for reaching the highest market price.

Already in recent time there has been a slight inflation of Bitcoin but recent times there have been a gradual correction in price of Bitcoin which after which will take a gradual move in the upwards direction because there will be many reactions in the market by January due to the anticipated halving that will be coming up next year. This is an opportunity to take advantage of the current market price and invest while hoping to profit in the anticipated surg in price by next year or the following Year.

The "stop-limit" you didn't even care to mention the price? You might want to add that to this to make this post more appreciatable. But as for me, I still see Bitcoin moving lower for now and would probably breach the psychological level of $40,000 lower and try to continue the bullish movements till January 2024. However, no one should rush to decide anything now because there are two important events that will shape the sentiment of Bitcoin in 2024. The first one is the ETF fillings, by January 10, we will know the fate of the much-anticipated ruling if the SEC approves or rejects it. For this, if they approve it, Bitcoin might continue to buy, yet I expect a limited bullish movement because it has done most of the bullish movements even when it hasn't been approved, but just for the rumours and the headlines. But if rejected, there is no way Bitcoin will not drop massively and try to shed most of the value gained due to the reaction to the news.

While the other part is Bitcoin halving itself, the post-effect of the halving matters so much and might quickly cancel any disapproval effect of ETF. After all, the ETF issue itself are being overrated by the media and those who have a strong influence on other people in the crypto space, not that it has so much value to add to Bitcoin itself.

December will soon be over and the new year will start. It seems to me that the price may stay above 40k until January. But as for halving, it's hard to guess what might happen in the next four months. I think there will be a collapse before the halving, as it happened in 2020. As you said, sometimes unexpected things happen that affect the market.

This is just a possibility that is still uncertain, because it would also be very reasonable if we did not assume that every condition and trend would always be the same, especially with the conditions that have passed over the past three years. A price correction could indeed be possible before the halving, but it will not be like a big fall because the impulse of buying demand is still quite large in Bitcoin so far so it could have little influence on the level of price fall before the halving next year.

So here's some hot news.

Now it seems that China is joining back again in the ball game. Lets see on how far this market will shoot up to the moon.  8)
It do seems that we do have a nice 2024 when everything would really be that joining up this market again. Golden bullrun possibility? Yes most likely
but it would really be that hard to make out assumptions yet we arent just over of this 2023 but well who knows right?
