Those are the people I always like to listen to or pay some little attention to as these are people who are reasonable not to just call anything at all. I believe as well that we may not have so much this year like we had last year and if at all, we may just have to hit the previous ATH and go a little bit past it towards December and that is being reasonable. Nevertheless, the market can still change based on any factor, so no one can easily predict what would end up happening exactly except to hope.

It is impossible to see that happen in a week. First and foremost, you have to consider all the resistances above us in play and for the fact they we will keep having some few pull backs once in a while even if we end up seeing a bull run which is not even likely at all for now. The fact that we just had a quick pump does not mean we should start unnecessary start putting our hopes high, it is impossible and it is impossible, if you like leave it or take it.

Yes, in coming months it will be extremely possible. But I wonder why people still target $20k and why not $50k or $100k. Bitcoin has already proved it is capable to have value around $20k then now we must look for what is next level of bitcoin's capability and we must hold till that levels.

Yeah, the actual fact is that no one knows which level bitcoin can ever fall to and we are just going to be here anyway just trying to blend with it or playing with it as traders and those who are holding will just have to keep doing that until the bears are fully done.
No one actually knows the level at which bitcoin can go for now, but at least, we can be rest assured that one way or the other, and the market will still recover. A lot of traders are still skeptical about a lower drop than $6k anyway, but only time will tell.

As long as none of us can even see the future anyway, the most important thing is to always accept the outcome. Wishing we did something differently will absolutely not change what has been done, but as long as we are at least learning from it and we could not have done it better than we did it, then we just accept whatever has come and move on.

One thing as a trader is never to assume you can get it right 100%, give room for errors as long as you are still making profit, otherwise, you will end up overworking your emotions.

Yes, looking at the way the market responds generally anyway to the movement of bitcoin, we always get to see a lot of altcoins bending. The main essence most trader trade is basically to increase their position in bitcoin, by trading alts against btc and btc against fiat. It is always an edge a trader would always have over those who are just holding.

Looking at what even happened with the quick bounce from the triangle alone recently, most of the alts that have risen got dumped pretty fast.

Not the whole market though as the altcoin market has actually been having some pretty good movement upwards until recently that bitcoin showed some bullish signs and most of them ended up having a little bit dump in their prices. We are all still hopeful that things would be changing before the end of this month, but it is still also good not to still have some little bit of reservations, but in the long run, we have been accumulating and that is what I am really looking forward to doing this year.

You may go for selling but I am sure you may regret for not holding just another week of time to get double the benefits. Yes, I am expecting prices to double in a week of time itself. You may rush for buying bitcoins but never rush for selling. Because it may save you from regretting.

Oh please! Even if it goes on every day, it would only get to a point that every weak hands will get shed off from the market and it is not like it is no longer a valuable market and as long as people tend to get demand for it, the market will always recover from any FUD. FUD cannot destroy bitcoin no matter what, unless bitcoin itself is no longer bringing that imparting future vibe.

The result of FUD is basically a downtrend, so it is normal but because a downtrend happens because of a FUD, even if it continues unless it is just a huge one to scoop out the market entirely probably by the government, I see no way it can happen.

Patience is all that is needed for any investor in every market and altcoin market or cryptocurrency market at large is not an exception. Although, it seems a lot of people now are busy looking for quick ways to get money and richer within a short period but generally, things do not just work that way and it is just very important to be very patient to get the best of the market. For me, I believe in all my holdings and in their future and that is what I am counting on.

But all the tokens/altcoins are not good for holding. You must be very much selective for filtering out some coins for long term holding otherwise you lose your capital over time as dumping may take place slowing. Only if a project and the team are good then you may hold their coins.

Well, even though a lot of ICOs are scams, some of us are still investing and it is only left for each individual to know where to invest, what to invest and what not to invest.

If you are investing in ICO, just watch out for the team, the product and the possibility of the product generating huge demand in the future and that is what you should be investing. He can just go about learning how to trade as that would definitely help as well, but all these things require knowledge which is why it is safer to hold for most investors.

Even if they even want to do, it does not necessarily have to be via exchanges, and they can easily just do that over the counter. However, I am not very sure how the bigger players or institutional investors operate but I assume any sane one who really wants to invest or believe in the idea of cryptocurrency will not be leaving their assets on an exchange.

Regulation however, I believe will usher in a new era for the market as we start to start seeing things being done differently even across exchanges and that would obviously make a lot of things change as we see the bigger players having some level of confidence in entering the market.

Someone may be a newbie on this forum, but may not be a newbie investor generally or in cryptocurrency. It is a good thing he has shared it. I totally agree with the fact that the cryptocurrency space is about entering a new era which would really bring out a lot of opportunities for those who are extremely smart to take those opportunities and use it to their advantage and we the early dudes are the ones. Also, not all altcoins will last anyway, as some would die abruptly sooner than later, but for some the OP has mentioned, and most especially COSS, that is one token that I have had a lot of hopes for.

Yeah and that is simply because it waved the fear of so many people, investors and traders over the idea of regulation or putting a strong hold on cryptocurrency. I do not expect the market to start moving up fast immediately anyway, I expect that we would be in some period of consolidation with the market moving sideways for a while before we start thinking of the way up.

Margin trading is a trend ? You mean what kind of trading is now a days popular among traders ? If it so, then holding is a trend since 2012/2013 with many bitcoiners regardless of where is the market is heading. Market trend is mixed right now but overall it is sustaining around $7000 levels.

The current price of virtually the whole market is totally dependent on bitcoin anyway but most times, we may get to see some altcoins move a little bit with bitcoin on consolidation and transfer of funds into bitcoin afterwards.

Well, let's see how things would turn out in coming weeks, but for me, I have been refueling and loading up and waiting for the moment that some would end up joining the Fomo for those of us buying now will be reaping the benefit. It is a speculative market already, and it will always happen.

Asides all that, this is a very volatile market and anything can change at any moment which has made so many people who were busy waiting for a particular value end up missing the right one which is now. No one can predict the future and how movement will drift towards is unknown to anyone.

We have seen so many times that technical analysis has failed and things just started changing rapidly even with this downtrend we are having now. I always keep telling people, this is low enough for those who may want to start opening long positions. Getting greedy is bad.

Speculation or not, this is not the peak. First off, I am sure pursuer already cleared the waves for those who are comparing the state of bitcoin with bubble and calling bitcoin itself a bubble directly. Based on what you have said however, there is going to be more development for bitcoin and there is still room for growth.

Hence it is not that the fact that some of us condemned the FOMO that happened last year as a bubble, does not mean we are not bullish in the long term, but we just prefer growth that is not fueled by greed but real valuation.

Read back and check on the number of times bitcoin has been called a bubble in the past and how it is going to end up bursting and here we are testing lows which are far higher than the starting price of last year. A bubble would not do that if I am correct. We may be having some level of greed in the market once in a while which could result in a serious correction afterwards, which does not make bitcoin itself a bubble.

Yes, I like the word falsified information. The thing here is that a lot of people usually get greedy and with their level of ignorance, tend to make the wrong decisions in the market and with that there is no way they will not respond negatively to FUD, but that like you said, does not mean everyone is responding to it as it is a normal part of the market which a lot of old investors count as nothing, except for new investors that are just busy panicking for no reason.

Yeah, being here is a blessing and being blessed for being a part of this community, one should always consider giving back to the society. Firstly, even before now, I have always loved giving to those who are in need, and always visited orphanage homes to donate as much as I can, and if I have up to 10btc, I can definitely part away with some of it and use it for charity purpose.

Life is all about giving when you are lucky enough to be part of the elites. Once you give, you will always get more to give out, which is what I have always believed.

Being careful is actually the word when looking for any group to join. For discussions about the market like haroldtee mentioned, I have always liked making use of trading view, and with that I just get to see other trader’s opinion both in their topics and the general comments.

There are some times, you may not see some things they may see, and with that you can make use of it to inform your own decisions, but at the end, you have to be able to make your own decisions yourself and not just rely completely on someone else's.

Yeah, and a really interesting one. Those who always fail to plan, usually end up failing. It is the general theme of life, and part of planning is studying and understanding the area of your investment which a lot of newbie investors always fail to do. If you cannot even ignore the price and you feel you can benefit from it, then learn how to trade and follow trend to at least take advantage of the fluctuations, but for an investor, complaining about everything should be the last thing.

It is really amusing when I see people panic for no reason because of a downtrend in the market. I always believe one thing; if you cannot live with it, then do not even join in the first place. One thing for sure is that a market will never stay on a single trend forever, and depending on where you invested, you just have to wait for your time to get the best of it, and understand all that is needed even before investing.
