Bitcoin again $18000 mark in this year? Definitely may YES

[Abu Shadow]

 I believe in bitcoin technology that this will rise to ATH but making it happen this year is too tough to make it as we had many bad news and market is not yet ready to make a strong bull run. Maybe next year we can see that bull run.

[tee-rex]

Yes, I am sure that this could happen this year, just waiting for good news to be able to increase prices, and it will be very easy if there is good news.

If there would be a hype again then that price would be reachable. Current price would need to increase thrice before that target of yours will be reach. Well, I am hoping for it as well but let's be realistic in here and if you want to increase your holdings then trade and then take profit even if it's just a little because you are not on;y gaining profit when you are doing it but you can have the experience as well may it be profit or loss and you can improve your trading. I think it would be better than wishing for the price to go back up and then be frustrated when it's taking so long.

Let's theorize for a little while. What kind of hype should that be to make all those buyers of bitcoin who had bought above 10k and desperately want to sell change their mind and keep their coins? Perhaps, some powerful government, like that of China, welcoming bitcoin in a major way, but from my perspective, oceans will sooner turn to desert and hell will turn to ice than anything like that is going to happen. It should be the hype of all hypes to make all holders hold their coins on instead of trying to break even and forget about crypto as a nightmare, which for many of them it has become.

Too right. Turning the market from a strong downtrend to a strong uptrend in a short period of time is near impossible, it would take something completely unexpected and unprecedented. Something like a country coming out and saying they're going to adopt bitcoin as their national currency but that is not going to happen. At least not in 2018.

Nothing is certain in this market, We still have the last 3 months of 2018 to hope that the price can reach 18000$ again. Just like 2017, growth is only going to last for two months, but it can happen again in 2018, but it can not be sure. We need to wait until October for everything to be clearer

What if you're talking about $ 18,000 for only a few days? yes such a thing possible.
There's even the possibility of $ 50,000.
but let's be realistic. and talk with our financial information.
2018 early to see the closing price and market volume.
if we look at the data we have, there is no upward movement.
should appear in the bottom of a wave supported by the bottom.
There is no such wave at the moment. Unfortunately...
short-term high figures do not mean anything.
we need our gradual and steady rise.
If we get $ 12,000, we should be happy. It's not wise to wait for more.

If you sell somebody 1 satoshi for 1 dollar in a private transaction, that would mean a price of 10M dollars per bitcoin (if I didn't miss a few zeros). It should be obvious that such price is irrelevant for the market as we need prices across various exchanges to be in that range for some time, and with meaningful trading volumes at that.

Other than that, I fully agree with your point. Many people will be happy if prices come close to just 10k, not even speaking of breaking through that resistance level. The price range of 10-12k was solid support in February before the collapse which happened in March due to Mt.Gox trustee liquidating part of his stash, with many people buying piles of bitcoins around that price level. Today, this support has turned into the Bitcoin great wall, or rather ceiling, which will be hard to break if we ever come close to it at all.

One thing I want to say that it is cryptocurrency world and anything is possible in this world. I will be very happy if bitcoin price reach to $18000 till the end of this year, but the question is how? Investment cap is low and the demand too. People are putting their money in Altcoin because they think that Altcoin are more potencail than bitcoin and will give them profit in short time.

Well, I'm afraid that's not how things work, or they work that way only in your imagination (no offense intended). It is the "outside" world that can boost the prices of cryptocurrencies as there is no other route that money can flow into cryptocurrencies. And right now it doesn't look like this world, a world outside crypto, is very much interested in cryptocurrencies. The price will rise only if they (cryptocurrencies) make advances into this world, something like the Sturm und Drang of crypto.

$18k mark is something that could be possible if we get to see some pretty good move upward this year, but I really would not be counting on it so much, judging from how things have been over the years and for the fact that we are still in a bear trend at least for now. It is hard to always tell what a market will always hold and the thing we can do is to just keep monitoring the trends and then, we can see where it leads eventually, but I would not say $18k is not a possibility.

Everything is always possible, but technically, there are some things that one may not seem could be possible much but all the same, as long as we cannot tell what the future holds, it still does not mean we will not always get to see some possibilities or some surprises in the long run. We could say for what it is worth, we can actually get to see bitcoin attaining some good height, and $18k is not that bad, but all this would depend on what the future certainly holds anyway.

Well although the last 4 months have given us pretty good runs in the past years, i wouldn't count much on getting to even 15k this time. Unless the whales decide so but if it's just the natural flow of things in crypto, i doubt it.
