New ATH by July 2017

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Why not first let the price reach the $1000 barrier again, or at least $900 before speculating about a new ATH? It will already be a great achievement if we somehow manage to hit $900-$1000 next year.

Or let the price settle above $600 for a while at least.  I think baby steps or at least a slow, upward treend would be just fine.  And I am a-hoping to buy more and get at least one bitcoin before I just sit on what I have and hodl.  I believe in bitcoin, but I have a very hard time committing to invest even $1000 in it.  It's just too topsy-turvy for me.

But what happens if it does not happen? Then we are back here again predicting that it will surpass ATH in 2018. It is better to predict with plausible supporting fundamental theories and some technical analysis.

Pushing the ATH back a bit like what's happening right now isn't a terrible idea, and estimating that the ATH will show up sooner rather than later is somewhat good for the mind, as it gives a sense of hope. While it's quite likely that the ATH will be broken and replaced by 2020 (the next halving), anything sooner than that is gladly accepted as a prediction, although it should be treated with skepticism.

this is indeed a good time to invest in bitcoin, buying bitcoin now means you bought it cheap as i have been saying for the whole last year: we are still seeing cheap coins although it is late to gain the maximum profit out of bitcoin now, but there is till hope to buy in dips like the recent big dip back to $520 and for a moment $480.

[ethereumhunter]

buying now, keep for half, and trade in another you have to make profit. i think its best way to make its grow while we wait for the good rate in $600. i hope it will up to $600 in august-oktober.

Yes there is no guarantee for sure but this is just a speculation and we all here want bitcoin to be more valuable and have more price. Bitcoin marketcap still have lots of space to grow so for sure bitcoin price can grow over time.

definitely possible and i think it will happen, i hope that the price will reach at least 2000 dollars

when they predicted the increase to $500+ last time, they were right, we did increase from $250 to $500 with a great pump, so it's not so unrealistic to think that another pump from $600 to 1k is so unbelievable to happen

@OP: Your prediction is pretty much what I expect, too.

The reduced supply because of the halving is a long-term factor, that can drive the next bull market to higher levels, but won't have a direct effect now that the sentiment is slightly bearish.

The rest of the year, I'm expecting a sideways/bearish situation like we have seen in most of 2015, but on a higher level, not falling again below $400. When confidence has built up again on the 500-600 level, which I expect to be around the end of the year, then we can expect a new attack on the 700 mark. And then it's question to wait for the hordes of greedy investors to return and a new ATH is within sight.

My prediction for 2017: New ATH of $1800-1900, and at the end of the year the price will be about 1000-1300.

the rise from $250 to $500 was not from a great pump instead it was an excruciating slow rise from $220 to 250 that took a very long time with a stable price then rise to $330 and as you remember the $380-$420 was the longest period with a lot of FUD that price went up and down then it rise up from that level to $780 and this last one was a pump not the early rises.

That is true. I expect BTC to stay below $600 for a while longer. Even longer than what everybody else thinks. Most of the speculations here expect another pump before the end of the year but I think it will stay below $600 until the end of the year or more. So expect to see bearish threads coming from anxious people.

I think every now and then we are hoping for bitcoin price to cross on $1000. First everyone hoping it will cross at halving, then people saying it will cross 1000 by year end and now hoping for this to happen in first quarter next year.
I think current stable price of 600$ is also good for long term.

the current price is good especially since it is an stable price, but the slow rise has always been a thing in bitcoin for a long time. and things will not stay stable forever.
also i should add that all those speculations about the time of the rise was only predictions mostly based on the last halving and the big rise by that year (which did not happen on the day of halving but after a couple of months)

And meanwhile price is still under $600 for the third week in a row.
Little jumps, little dumps, but price lost 10% from the $660 of July and down from a $785 in June.

Today, the bitcoin price dropped to $560. There is no hope for the price to rise soon. I expect it to drop to 540 or lower.

This is true.But don't forget the heavy dump occured due to lot's of fear and emotion created by the BitFinex desaster.At that time the price was around $600.
Due to that hack it will take some time to recover.Have a bit of patience.

it is bound to happen next year, bitcoin was low for a really long time right now and we need just an easy pump to push the price significantly up

This is one of the very few realistic and on point posts here. I also expect the price to fall down a bit lower from current levels. So far the price moved in the exact range that I expected. If the price happens to dive under the $550 level, then I expect the price to go down to $520-$530 levels.

I think the price of bitcoin will be stable around the $550 level for some time. When the summer finishes, the price will rise.

Price is at $575 at a moment but I think it can fall in next few days, and if it goes to $550 level then I think that would be nice price to buy some bitcoins.
