I was thinking BTC was going to be on a down hill mostly until near end of 2023. Do you believe this is a bull trap or true recovery for next bull is now here?

I would be interested to see what you people think and why.

For price movement it is true that it is starting to improve so many people speculate that there will be a bull run in the near future and some are still holding fast that the bitcoin price has not yet reached the bottom price in the current cycle, for short-term investors it may be very important to know what price predictions will be happen, but if you ask long-term investors, especially if they have experience, I don't think they will be affected by price predictions that may not be their target this year.
My Bitcoin collection is still relatively small because the DCA that I did is still relatively new and the money I save is still relatively small, so I'm embarrassed to mention it again, but I have a target this year to have the success of collecting 1-3 bitcoins.

My take: BTC will be somewhere between $500 and $1,000,000 at the end of the year.

Whatever trading any one wants to engage himself with should be very careful on the amount they wants to trade with because I believe too well that trading is likely to be gambling, any amount they have lose while trading can't never be recovered so I am on the Opinion that only 20 percent of their capital should be used to trade and 80 percent should be reserved to buy and hold some good amount of bitcoin or any another reputable coin out there.

It's not moving because that's how it works. Trading signals are not reliable, even if you paid to join those trading signal groups. Learn to trade by yourself, it's more better in the long run, rather than putting your luck on someone else that might be a not real pro trader but just pretending to be one to earn money from your subscriptions.

Recovery will happen soon and its inevitable, we know this already and those who are prepared will get a huge reward in the next bull run. There’s no assurance though for the next drop, so better to buy now and just buy more if Bitcoin drops to that $14k level. 2023 will be a great year for crypto, let’s be more positive on this.

I observed that the cryptocurrency market is a kind of green at the moment, but as a beginner, I still find it difficult to tell when the market is actually bullish. I will appreciate any advice from fellow community members concerning this current situation because I'm considering to buy some coins but finding it difficult to decide on which coin to give a trail.

Just a kind advice, the risk is mine.

Before you mirror someone else's trade you should first find out the repercussions in it. There's this mischievousness of market markers hunting down stoploss and that is bound to wipe big accounts, definitely copy traders will be affected too. Again, from your $100 you will have to pay certain commission to the trader you're copying their trades if at all you make any profit from it. The best advice will be for you to learn how to trade yourself.

Remember the first trading lesson you learned as a newbie? Did it come from a win or a loss? A loss teaches you about the reality of the market, protects you from becoming cocky, and humbles you. When you are a beginner trader, a small loss is not a terrible thing. Losses teach you proper trading risk management strategies and techniques and respect for the market and prepare you for long-term success.

If you use btc futures without having sufficient analytical skills, you will not get profits but will experience losses, making your capital run out. Apart from that, you also have to control your emotions in trading because this has made many people lose opportunities to make profits. But as traders, we have our own way of analyzing the market to find a time when we can trade.

I have only started with $50 as a test - I made my first trade last night after buying LCX last week at $0.033 I sold at $0.045.

This is a 36% gain which is a pretty good start, now I will wait and have a look around to see what is badly down later and buy in when I feel there is a likely pump coming.

LCX reached $0.055 last night so this is a 67% increase from where I bought only a week ago so makes me realize there is money to be made in this bear market.

How do you use this forum search engine properly? Occasionally you search for things and the result is not significant and you make a topic on it and you get it's been discussed a few times before, I guess someone needs to teach me how.

My prediction will be the next bear year and there will be a new low for bitcoin, which is a good thing for those who are looking to buy bitcoin at a lower price. Although my prediction is down, but I hope it won't fall too much because that will make the altcoin market worse and the recovery will last longer. But if that really happens then I would consider buying more bitcoins and selling my altcoins.

It is true that some people have become rich through crypto trading in the recent times. But considering the high risk involved in trading, do you think it's proper/wise to trade with borrowed funds as your capital irrespective of your trading experience?
