The OP must see this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5194492.0 there are so many cases that Hitbtc scammed their user, so I guess it will impossible for him/her to get his money back.

There are so many trusted exchange OP, why you choose hitbtc? did you check the reputation first before you make an account?

One thing that you should know bitcoin has achieved its all time high a few days ago since its price touch the all time low $3500 two years ago.

But, have you see ETH price touch its all time high $1500? it hasn't happened yet, it means bitcoin price movement is better than ETH price movement so far.

Indeed, ETH has a good fundamental factor especially they already updated their system and I believe as well that ETH price could have a good price movement in the future, but would that happen if bitcoin price was only a sideaway or decreased for correction?

I have my own prediction for bitcoin price in the near future, I expect that the price will fall to the $14.600 (as the golden pocket for monthly time frame) barrier and full-back again to pass the $20.000 barrier. As you can see now, bitcoin price is decreasing although we have seen a bounce from $17782 yesterday and formed a green candle at the daily time frame, but I guess it is not strong to continue the trend.

And agree with you said, seem like some investor or some institutional investor are waiting to buy again, they still wait I guess the stimulus from US government. Yeah, I say many times about stimulus because I've witnessed a bull run that has happened since a few months ago was encourage by the stimulus, many investors will find the right place to save their money, especially from inflation.

Did you get a bad experience when using both exchanges?

I have no problem when using binance exchange so far, at least I have no worry to get scammed because this exchange is so trusted and being used by most crypto user. Also, this exchange offer a lower fee to withdraw my fund to my bank account.

But, there still many exchange that you can use. If you like future market you can choose bybit exchange or let me trade exchange, I have tried both exchange and haven't found a bad problem so far. Also you can choose Houbi, OKEx or bitfinex exchange for your place, those are the trusted exchange as far as I know.

Honestly there is no who will exactly know where bitcoin price will move. A month ago bitcoin price was increasing and forming bullish engulfing candle which can give an indicate that the price will up in the next candle. But who knows, until now in the early of this month bitcoin price just decreasing and has been passed 38.2 % fibbonaci retaracement.

But, we have three weeks ahead to fix this situation, perhaps there will be many information who will push bitcoin pricr up again especially from the stimulus factor. Moreover with some information who stated that the cases of corona virus increase again there will be many possiblities for the situlus will be issued. However, buying bitcoin at the current price will have a big risk to loss, we may need to see some confirmation first that the price will up again then we can buy again to see $20.000 will be passed.

I just new to trading and just trading crypto currency only, I tried to trade in the forex trading but seem like that place is not suitable for me especially the platform they use.

I tend to be a day trader/scalper so far, since I have to get money to meet my family life although I realized now that new trader is not worth to make trading as a source income.

And I guess the trading fashion will change time to time especially for beginner. The beginner doesn't know all the market condition, the may need a long time to choose that his strategy is really suitable for him. Like me now, maybe I'll try to be a swing trader to compete with a day trader.

Trading will never be easy at any time, I often to read the sentence in the trading book and I believe that. For those who says especially someone who just new to trade and they a lot of profit in trading, most likely they are lying or they are gambling with just get profit.

I said it is not just trading crypto but almost trading place will be like that. Need more time to get consistent profit, you have to learn many things especially your psychology. Yeah, there will be many people who will learn the strategy first insted of psychology where as the psychology is the main factor to consistent at least you will not leave and give up after you got lost a lot of money.

In fact there will be many factors to believe that bitcoin can give life to us. Bitcoin is an investment as of now, so if our intention to having bitcoin moreover as source income  for our daily life then we have to know how to invest correctly. We have to find some factors to be made as our foundation about investment, although it is not in bitcoin only but in all investment place.

If we successful to know them and we can aplicate when we are investing our money then we can do that. We can get money for our daily life in case we can get money from bitcoin as our source income. But for me, I believe bitcoin can give me a life as a story in your thread but I still can't believe my ability against investment. I have to learn more about it and I'm still in the process to reaching it.

It was called as 'Anchoring Bias' in psychology trading.

Before we buy a coin we will have a reference price for buying like a psychological price and it is not wrong for us to buy the coin at the price we want.

But the problem will come when the market condition has changed and we haven't changed our point to buy the coin. This is what causes many people or traders who often miss a moment to buy, so they don't get anything even though they have a great opportunity to get profit.

This is why we have to update our analyst as soon as possible if we see the market movement is different from our strategy before. Remember that market is very dynamic and we can't control it, you will be fine if your trading system adapts to market conditions and you have to be prepared for big losses when you try to control the market.

I'm not a hypocrite that this coin has a good future, especially at fundamental factor. As you may know, how many banks on this world which use XRP for sending money tool? I guess a lot.

So, I'm not weird if sometime this coin has a good price as you mentioned but I'm not weird as well if this coin price just dumped a lot since this coin is centralized where there is some people who will hold a lot of XRP on their wallet and they can sell it anytime.

And recently I read an information from coinbase exchange, they will give a spark token for those who hold XRP on coinbase exchange. This news will push some people to hold XRP and even will encourage for many people to buy XRP as much as they can.

I do this thing and until now I still haven't made an entry. My strategy is if bitcoin price pass the $20.000 barrier then I'll make long position or I'll wait until its pricr make a correction and buy again when the confirmation come.

Bitcoin still in the sideaway market for more than one week after its price trying to pass $19.956 on binance exchange but it was fail and drop again.

Seem like some instutional out there still hold their money and wait some fundamental factor to come in again especially stimulus event. Also, the stimulus factor has made some investors still hold their bitcoin so as we haven't seen a big correction so far.

I guess Japan is trying to make gambling place for gambler who use crypto currency, but it is not. Also, there will be two disadvantage for every gambler who play, one they must spend money to pay the tax when they won, in certain amount and second they will loss money. I mean, they have two responsibilities that can make uncomfortable when playing game. That is my opinion who leave in the country who still ban gambling, I don't know what people though when they are living in the country where gambling is accepted.

There will be an effect for someone who has popularity and say something about the project in this case is bitcoin. Moreover in this situation where almost economic in all country face a bad problem. Someone should find another place especially investment place to still get a money and so far bitcoin has done it.

We have been feeling what has been done by bitcoin so far, although in this situation where many people get dismissed from their work we are still calm because we have bitcoin to gain money. Like myself, I still comfortable to face this situation, I have no worry although I got dismissed. Yeah, I think there will be many people who will buy bitcoin because him and it has given a good effect for bitcoin price movement.

First thing that you should know, this strategy is not suitable for new coin, they are reluctant to be a pump and dump event.

Just pick the top 50 coin based on coinmarketcap/coingecko, and you have to know the support and resistence of the coin itslef.
 
Moreover if you take for long term investment especially in this bull run market, just buy the coin if they touch the support and hold it. You just need to know when the bull run is over and you can sell them.

I disagree with 'take an expert advice', as a trader you have to make your own decision. You have to know where you should buy and sell based on your analyst, don't take a decision based on someone else suggestion.

I've heard a story, there is a lecturer who instructs two students to invest in the stock market. But he gave different assignments to the two students, where student A was to invest and was placed in a place that was far from information and student B was placed in a place that had a lot of information, be it newspapers or suggestions given by experts.

But do you know who gets the most profit? student A who get the most profit. The reason is quite simple, student A made a decision with his rational sense, but student B made a decision with his emotional sense because he had a lot of information which in the end will confuse himself. A good trader is when he experiences a loss he will blame himself and evaluate all the mistakes that have been made. You will not blame yourself if you take a dicision from other people suggestion.

This is why, bounty hunter should know the legit and scam project to avoid this thing. Poor people is not mean they can't do anything, right?

Take a look on scam accusation board, there are plenty people who make or investigate a suspicious project. It is mean, all bounty hunter can be able to do that.

At least if they try to investigate the project first and they are doubt that the project is legit then they will make a decision to stay away from the project. And they don't feel guilty for not promoting the project.

It is hard to have a faith that altcoin price can touch or even pass its all time high for the second time. As you may already know, bitcoin has been successful to achieve its all time high a few days ago, but do you see in the altcoin?

I guess not, most altcoin price especially in the 100 top rank on market haven't been able to achieve its all time high. All of them are good coin and have known by most people like ETH or ripple, but I doubt they will touch the all time high. Moreover with new coin/token, they are not popular in the market. I can't believe if I still hold the altcoij I'll get a profit so I'll decide to sell all of them.

Maybe it is just promotion factor, unti now I haven't seen any promotion that offer by coinbase exchange. The last one, I took part in a promotion offered by coinbase when they created a crypto currency learning program and got prizes. However, it seems that this program is not running smoothly because until now I have not received the promised prize.

Slightly different from Binance Exchange, on various occasions they offer tantalizing giveaway even though there is very little chance to win it, but at least it gives encouragement for their user to continue using this exchange. And the current event on this exchange is they will give a giveway for those who trade using mobile application, if I'm not mistaken they will spend $2200 per day for this event. This thing will attract many people to choose this exchange as their place to trade or even to store money for long term investment.

In fact, market has its own way to move. You can't follow the crowd in the market because it will hurt you in the end. First thing that you have to do is make your own strategy to buy and sell, don't depend on someone else prediction. Just entry when your prediction is the same as the market situation. But, don't entry when your prediction is different on the market movement.

There are many opportunities on the market, If you miss one there will be lots of opportunities that will comes. When you trade don't just fixate on the profit you want to get, but you have to take into account how much loss you will get too. Yeah, that thought must be balanced when you are going to make an entry, at least this strategy will make you survive in this field.

A good market will push many people to make high expectation. We can see it now, at least in all media that related to crypto currency will show many article who stated that bitcoin price will go up more than we expected. I can't blame them because it is not wrong at all, they have their own prediction.

I still remember when bitcoin just crash to $3500, I can't see anybody who stated that bitcoin will up to $20.000 again but most of them just make a prediction that another support will be achieves again.

Bitcoin price is reaching its all time high and just need 9 months to do that, but we have to be carefull for the crash that will happen. Until now, bitcoin just sideaway on the all time high, we just waiting what will do by some instution out there, they haven't made a decision to open long and short position. Yeah in my opinion, just their hand who will make bitcoin touch new all time high or back to all time low.
