Are we headed for a recession?

It seems to me that the cryptocurrency is almost not associated with these indicators. Cryptocurrency goes according to its own laws. While the cryptocurrency market has not been fully formed, therefore this indicator cannot be used. At the moment, cryptocurrency is too unpredictable. Moreover, it doesn't look like a stock market. Therefore, my verdict: the cryptocurrency market can go in any direction, regardless of other markets and various indexes.

yeah it's clear, that not only crypto experiences ups and downs, but almost all valuable investment assets will definitely experience ups and downs. and now we wait for the bull run.

I do not think that the word bull run is appropriate for the present market. We are still in the bear market and this is why crypto market price was having a hard time to recover. The problem is only few investors are going back to investing which means that others are still waiting and carefully assessed the situation before they will made a decision to invest. Probably the market states that cryptocurrency will going to end or will take another bull run. Either way investors are more aware to this and very careful also.

I think we are heading to recession and I like it.
Because its very likely one recession to bring a bull crypto market while lowering the real estate prices. While 90% of my finance power is in crypto, if one recession bring down the real estate prices significantly, I'm willing to transfer 2/3 of my wealth there.

So you like to see the legacy economy suffer just for the purpose of boosting your insignificant crypto portfolio? Not cool. The very fact that 90% of your portfolio sits in crypto is already a bad start.

I hope for you it's in Bitcoin and not whatever random shitcoin or ICO token. Another thing is that people tend to discard the possibility of a market wide recession, where every asset including gold and crypto plummet.

I rather see Bitcoin gain back its momentum within a healthy legacy market, because we don't need it to underperform to have Bitcoin stand out. It exploded during 2017 with a very strong legacy market....

Every 10-20 years there is a recession. The last one was 2008 and the markets are burning now, Trump is heading a trade war with China, Russian are under sanctions for years now, Turkey (the 2nd army in NATO) is in intense relations with US and so on and so on.

My 90% are in crypto, because I made it through crypto. Now I want to transfer it into physical  investments like real estates and what is the better time to buy than recession?

The recession is long overdue. It could happen anytime now but something is keeping it at bay. It is quite possible that there will be Quantitive easing number 4 to reduce the economic stress and postpone the market crash.

It is also possible that government is waiting for cryptocurrencies to become more stable and established so they can all move from fiat to crypto.

PS. I received an ad flyer yesterday, from a company who buys gold, silver, platinum, antiques, arts, and anything of value from regular people. They are all buying it out for a nice amount of cash. I am in Switzerland just for the reference.
If that is not a sign that something is about to happen, I don't know what is.

This is what i notice every end month of the year, there is a greater chance that the market would dump due to the holidays. But i don't think that the market would do the same just like last year that it keeps on decreasing the price as we move to another months of bearishness. We had enough of this bearish markets but i don't know when would the bull run starts.

maybe in 2019 the demand for bitcoin will increase seeing the number of countries experiencing inflation, such as Turkey and Iran because of some big country policies like America, things like this can cause businesses to divert payments they use bitcoin to avoid sustainable inflation, things like this also happens in some countries because the American vs. Chinese trade war and their currency wars can cause the fall of currencies from countries with small economies, this can cause businesses to look for alternative currencies, and I think bitcoin can be a very suitable choice , so there will be a surge in bitcoin demand this year.

This moment actually appears like cryptocurrency recession, everything just became dry and boring, most people holding and looking left and right for rescue motivations and advice. The recession has an rcpiry date, it will soon be over.  And when it Is over we must know that the bright time will not also be for ever.

The stock market doesn't look good and potentially could go a lot further as TA indicators and trading experts are warning us. The dow jones price might crash and enter a bearish cycle that could trigger another great depression where interest rates were skyrocketing and people were drowning in debt due to this. I suggest to quickly get out and convert your money to btc, gold or copper.

Everything will be known in the second half of 2019. If the price of Bitcoin goes up, then we were right, Bitcoin will rise. If the price goes down, then you will need to think about what to do next. Personally, I do not think that the price can go down. Logically, the price should slowly go up, then after the investments of large investors go up sharply.

Indeed the cryptocurrency market has its own laws and trends however as it is connected with the fiat world (without fiat you can't buy Bitcoin), it is somehow correlated with it. For example, if stock interest rates increase I think there will be in effect in bitcoin's price as maybe investors will buy cryptocurrencies due to the same level of risks that are involved in both investments.

I agree with you it needs someone like John Mcafee to pump the bitcoin market price to pump up. It needs a huge amount of btc orders so that we can feel a good market price increase. One thing for now probably that because of the current trend where investors were exhausted already with all their resources inputted to cryptocurrency.
