Whales are starting cashing out...

[arbitrage]

I think it is too early for this kind of topics. Whales still pushing it up. Who know when this will stop, but today won't. Popularity of all coins rising i think there is much space for further pumps. I never thought BTC can see over 2k but it is possible..

[malami]

let them cash out, hopefully we can pick up some scraps 

Yum yum, alts are here to stay and the whales won't change that, for every whale who cashes out there is a new one that buys in.

[cabron]

I doesn't look like they are cashing out now because the price of BTc still keeps rising up. The indicators that you need to look for is that when you find some coins that didn't rise during the time when most coins were rising is now starting to gets green, then start to panic and try to buy some of that coin. I sugest you watch ripples because when that blew out, that means they are dumping their btcs.

i thought i've done lost my mind...

Let them cash out their hard earned money and let's buy alts since most of it are on 50 or more % discount. Then hold it for 3-4 months.

Happy Trading!

Its like always, nothing can rise all the time, 20% low and then 50% up, thats how alts are these days.

[alyssa85]

just look at the trends and charts for most alt coins; the bubble will pop soon, not the best moment to buy!

Best time to buy. Coins on the discount for long-term holding

Get with it, boyo

No way you can get most of them 40% cheaper next week this time, we're slowly getting to the prices that we had last week before the pump started

I guess BTC will be fine since everyone will cash in BTC

Agree. People are cashing out from alts, (and the btc they earn will get cashed out into fiat). The markets are looking extremely toppy and there is bound to be a pullback.

nothings new, only newcomers will fall i guess its the whale dive to shake and scare people around crypto but if looking for some trace we
are still looking for possible bounce back and even it will take some time we ain't need to worry. buy and hold while value still cheap.

What goes up must go down, and when its down is the time when you should BUY.. not buy at the top.  Yes we're in a bubble but its no where near ending, matter of fact the party is just getting started

[Neoliberalism]

How long is the bear market going to last? The saying goes "buy when others are fearful" but when is the right time to buy is the question. How long do the dumping phases last on average does anyone know?

[xuan87]

Indeed it is a scary market in this few days all of the coin is on rising, we all know one day the whales will cash out and the price is going to fall down quickly, and it has been bubbling for quite a time, it is better to watch out before you decided to buy the coin

You need to stop spamming message boards. I don't like the little games your playing. I take my money serous. You need to stop!

no bro, they are not dumping to crash the market they are dumping to buy back cheaper coins, it's normal to have a correction in bitcoin and more so in altcoin

What goes up must go down, and when its down is the time when you should BUY.. not buy at the top.  Yes we're in a bubble but its no where near ending, matter of fact the party is just getting started

you don't know most of the time what the top is, otherwise we would all be rich already, my strategy is to buy when there is a continuos increase and to sell when there is a continuos decrease, with this strategy you don't remain off the market, and you have a chance to minimize possible losses

Yup. Buying now is a foolish act to do and you will loose money. The market fluctuating dangerously and hope this will stop gradually otherwise I feel many of the traders will leave altcoin trading.

well it depends on your strategy really and what you believe/think/hope and pray for,
there are other threads predicting bitcoin to go over $3000 this year and even $5000
so buying now would be ok too, but yea it all prediction, who knows whats going to happen ?

[chaosfourever]

Im not worried. Its about the long haul. I didn't invest to just pull out a month later. My plan is years.

[pinkmann]

I don't see any difference from the falls last week or the week before, there are always red days after the green ones.

Yeah, this could just be a pause and it looks just like the two before. Most of the coins drop about 20% and then hold steady. Then all of the sudden overnight they all are in the green again and being pumped.

The sudden rise and fall of bitcoin could be the culprit here. I think we're gonna see all green this weekend. (I hope) 

[Remon]

My opinion about this, is that there is a lot of new money coming in to the crypto world.

Just look at Facebook, you will see at least 2 times a week a post of Bitcoin hitting a new record, or a post of 'Ripple to the moon'. This is getting a lot of people curious. and some of them will give crypto currency a shot.

It is also getting more mainstream now, and easy to get started with crypto currency, that will make more people joining in today.

Also when you look in Google trends, you will see a lot of movement to all coins.

for example:

Bitcoin: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%2012-m&q=bitcoin

Ethereum: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%2012-m&q=ethereum

Ripple/XRP: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%2012-m&q=ripple

But also smaller coins getting more and more atention.

Artbyte: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%2012-m&q=artbyte

Myriad: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%2012-m&q=myriadcoin

Digibyte: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%2012-m&q=digibyte


But also more people are searching on the keyword 'crypto currency' in general: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%2012-m&q=crypto%20currency.


So what I think is yes, it will be a bubble, but it is just a new beginning with a lot of new people joining in.

Panic sell after all

The dumping phase can last a long time.

Here is a graph of Doge for example:

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dogecoin/

Notice that they had a pump in January 2016 - and then the bear market for doge lasted a full year, and those who bought at the top had to wait till March 2017 for another pump before they could cash out.

Bear markets in cryptocurrency can be brutal.
