I have come across many predictions on Facebook, Twitter, reddit and tradingview on bitcoin heading towards $100,000 after halving and to some extent i do agree with them. When we should sell bitcoin should be when we think it is OK for us and we are in profits.

Just a week ago, analysts are stating that the resistance is $10,500 or something near it.
So it changed quickly because of the Virus?

There are lot of speculations about this because of the stocks also diving and people are starting to decide to put the blame into something else.
It looks manipulative for me.
Ain't there any other explanation for this rather than the virus? People suddenly withdrawing because of it? What does that mean? End of the world?

This world epidemic has nothing to do with the market price. Most crypto journalists are a fan of making an exaggerated news connecting almost everything that is trendy in the eyes of their readers. What we see is merely a normal price movements since Bitcoin was pumping lately it's just normal to see a dump after that because there are traders.

It is the same old tactic that existed for decades now. What happens when there is high inflation and you offer people a lot of interest rate? They will rather keep their money in the bank and get interest for it right? There would be no money influx to the economy and everyone would just get savings.

However, if you drop that lower and you give people easier loans and there is no way for them to make a decent profit from just keeping it at bank? They will rather just put their money into investment and that will result with them putting money back into their jobs and business and that will result with economy will go up as well and there would be a general increase for the nation as well.

I don't think so, Corona virus does not have any affect on Bitcoin and even the other cryptocurrencies in the market I would guess. Plus, I don't know why the panic of this virus are widespread in the whole world, Unfortunately, I only see the negative news in the social media. And remember the world economy crisis because of Corona  will not attract investors to Bitcoin. Otherwise, I think this current dump of Bitcoin will continue , It may end in days or  weeks.

Exactly this, we don't know whats going to happen. We don't have our own personal crystal bowl. The market might go down for a while, but the blockchain world is moving forward on the long run. More advanced tech will have a huge influence on the price in the future. I doubt that events like the Covid-19 we see right now, should affect the Bitcoin price on a longer period.

I think this is the 3rd thread made about connecting Coronavirus and the bitcoin/altcoin market.

This is one.

Then another.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228554.0

I mean, why?
Yeah, the stock market went down and they say it is because of the virus.
But yet, there is just no facts to connect it directly to bitcoin yet.
I still think there is no slight chance for that.
Better, it might make bitcoin rise because people would want to keep their money to something more safer.

Investors' appetites for risk rise and fall over time. At times, investors are more likely to invest in higher-risk instruments than during other periods, such as during the 2009 economic recovery period. The 2008 financial crisis was considered a risk-off year, when investors attempted to reduce risk by selling existing risky positions and moving money to either cash positions or low/no-risk positions, such as U.S. Treasury bonds.

If recession kicks in too, the job losses and lack of wage growth are going to further squeeze BTC investors into selling. This is why I'm hoping for a bullish stock market into 2021. If the bottom falls out in world markets, that could put a real damper on the BTC bull market.

I think it will not affect the price of BTC. Bitcoin price has been falling recently, and there is no sign of stopping. BTW I hope that Corona can quickly end because it is putting many people in danger and a lot of people have died of this virus.

I see you are a new user, so you may not know it. When you answer several users in the same thread, do it in one post. If you want to clearly show that these are different statements, then you can separate them, for example by using this simple code:

Writing three posts one below the other, even if they relate to something else, could be considered as spam.

I thought that BTC is due to a correction that's why we have seen it tumbled in the previous week. Might be just coincidence that it goes down when there is a latest scare in Italy that's why some have speculated that it is due to the coronavirus scare. It could be a factor as other market also had a major pullback but then again, bitcoin is steady at $8500 so we are still good. $10k will be breach again, we just have to be patience and let this scare settle down a bit.

It's hard to predict anything in this scenario we are living, because no one know what's going to happen, everyone is cautious right now, every person on earth should worry because we can have a big financial crisis in a few days/weeks, it's not conspiration, but we are discussing this for some time, and now with Coronavirus hitting the world so hard, there will be consequences for sure
Our entire world depends on China, and if they don't handle this problem quickly, people will going to suffer not only financially but physically too

And predicts about BTC in this specific scenario with Coronavirus is even harder, people can adopt BTC to be more secure, but what about the others who will prefer to have fiat cash to buy essential stuff for living?

And don't you think that every time Bitcoin suddenly goes up like what it did early this year isn't overwhelming? Our market is always moving in the extremes as compared to other markets we have, that even if we are consolidating we are still moving around 4-5% daily. If you aren't used to this price movements then you aren't still suited to be in this market or at least be prepared for the nect price movements of Bitcoin.  Just keep in mind what I said earlier, if you thought that this price movement was “overwhelming” because it has something to do with the Coronavirus then you are wrong as BTC was bound to correct everytime it suddenly goes up.

I cant really see on whats the correlation of this epidemic towards crypto market price specially with BTC.Towards my own view i dont really apply or imply these sentiments to my price analysis.
I would rather try to look on Technical analysis which is more worth to try on rather than relying on news which doesnt really give out relevant connection.Out of those TA's above
We are already on 8500 support and its either would hold up or there would be an another break down on this upcoming new week.

 but bitcoin support as u said is already break and right now price is 8430 i think soon we going to see bitcoin in 8200 support 
but i hope bitcoin price stay like this and dont get under this price,and i think soon we see price will start to move and go to top.
and after covid-19 news around world i thought bitcoin support chould be 9200 and 9100 but price is on 8000k channel now and covid still a big news all around the world so the effect of this virus on markets still remains .

The “market scare” only started the drops in prices but the reason of China's conditione worsening is there. Like what I have said in my previous posts related to the COVID-19 affecting stock prices it's relationship towards US companies are big in a way that US Companies that has factories in China are affecting their production which affects their revenue potential. Not only that as it also affects their revenue directly in a way that China is one of their biggest markets. Bitcoin right now doesn't show any signs that it was affected by the coronavirus as Bitcoin was due for a correction when it was overbought at the mid-week of February, the news connecting the outbreak and Bitcoin prices falling down are only misleading us.

IMO, it is not connected with any virus at all.
Even with that viral sickness that had been spreading.

Why does it have to be always about China?
Before, just because of their President talking about blockchain then people starting to speculate it is also the reason for bitcoin growth.
And now this? Why not look at how the financial industry is going. Stocks are down and other issues about finance. Maybe that is the nearest we could get to reason out all this events.

I can't figure out why this coronavirus scare is affecting the markets so much--people are saying that it's going to negate all corporate earnings for 2020 and crap like that, but I don't see how it's possible to have nearly that kind of an effect on the economy.  Investors are obviously scared, though--that much is real.

As far as bitcoin goes, I'd point out that it's still around $8500 and that isn't bad at all.  Yes, it took a little nosedive from its 2020 high but it's not like it crashed back down to $3k or anything like that.  I'm hoping the general fear will subside and that the world of medicine will get the spread of the virus under control--and that the media stops feeding the fear, which they obviously love to do.

In the meantime, use hand sanitizer liberally.

For me the indicators being analyzed are not reliable but what I'm looking at is the resistance level at $9,200. This point is important and from the look of it all, it still looks bear. For the corona virus issue, maybe is a reason too for dumping. Hodlers can sell off to recover some money for sustaining their health.

a lot of the shitcoins were pumped in the week before the current ongoing altcoin dump so it is expected to see a big altcoin dump like this going on. if you look at the charts you can see bitcoin was stable in those weeks which explains the altcoin pumps and now that bitcoin had a small drop the altcoin panic dump mode activated hence the big dumps everywhere.

none of it has anything to do with covid19 though! if anything we should have seen a bitcoin price rise during all these altcoin dumps.

most people believe that after halving btc price will go up to near 20k but most important question is WHEN and whats that road looks like. imagine  after btc go to 16k or 17k so many people will sell btc in that price so  price will dump unless Whales of btc push buy in markets . in the other hand we have so many good fundamental for growing btc price and developing blockchains all around the world.
the main question also remains that which price is best to sell btc after halving!
