Will bitcoin dip below 2000 again before Aug 1?

[CheapYoutubeHits]

So what do you think? Bitcoin has dipped below 2000 USD cause of the panic sales people had for the oncoming aug 1 hard-fork,

Do yall think this is the only dip + correction we will see before august 1? And that we stay at the 2000 bottom,

Or do you think that the real price dip still has to come?

The rise up from sub 2000 today was awful fast so it's still very possible. I suppose it depends on how rapidly the signalling takes shape and whether it all goes smoothly. Definitely not out of the woods is my guess.

[batang_bitcoin]

As what I observed with the price movement of bitcoin. It climbed too fast and it went dropping that fast too. No doubt that it is possibly that we will the price of bitcoin to be seen under $2000 again. Maybe it will happen 5 days before this month ends. But if it will not happen then the fork was successful and we'll see the price pumping.

Bitcoin price ha salready started to recover from $1850 and now its price is $2190 and good news is that its still rising.Once again,this time also the poor newbies,who would only regret and would just remain helpless on just seeing their sold bitcoins rising towards the moon.Poor guys,pity on newbies.

We can`t be sure that this is going to be a hard fork.
Some exchange platforms cancelled thier deposits and withdrawals,they are all waiting for August 1.
This is have impact over bitcoin trading,so i expect another price fall.
People will be too afraid to trade,send and receive bitcoins and the price will go down for a few days before and after August 1.

[cryptocratic]

There is still 2 long weeks ahead, that's a lot of room for free fall.

[AjithBtc]

within few days time the price has grown from sub 2000$ and now towards 2300$, which looks promising to reach the peak value. Though we have got the maximum possibility of splitting of chains, the growth in terms of adoption and value is expected to increase in a gradually manner. Lets hope nothing worse happens after Aug 1

[LeGaulois]

It may be a coincidence but see https://twitter.com/BITMAINtech/status/886839997440995328
As soon as Bitmain announced all its pools would begin signalling for the SegWit2X upgrade, the Bitcoin value started to jump like a crazy

What?   Can you tell me which platform are cancelling deposits/withdrawals until the August 1? I have not read something similar. So please kindly post a source here. Because on Bitcoin news websites or here, I have not read something like you are telling and I am a little surprised if it's true

[Bitcoinsummoner]

I think the price today its because the segwit start running by some miners that i read from this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2027198.msg20198992

It means segwit is running normally with new improve bitcoin this is i think why the price is increasing today and i think we will see more increase soon ..

[Taki]

Bitcoin may seem coming back on the top with it's price, the current point is 2200+$. it may look as correction and stabilizing, but just take a look how many people sell! I think that may provoke a new wave of falling down and we may see 1800+$ again.

Most people are on panick mode whether they will sell or keep their coins. A huge part of the community of bitcoins are people that has really have no idea on what is going on in the market. Most people are just following and panicking because of what's happening with the price. The price may have increased for people who are wanting to get more profit before they dump or the price may drop for people who wants to buy more at a cheaper price. I personally think that there is a high possibility that the price may dip down $2000 again before or even after august 1 happens but I am hoping that the price will recover soon enough.

[ramend]

I think the recovery is already cemented since segwitx2 is almost during to activate now. I don't think we are dropping again anytime soon.

I think the price will dip again, people will get more scared as the date keeps getting closer and will begin to take decisions not with their brains but with their feelings and they will make mistakes I think the dip maybe even larger than the one we got a few days ago and that is an opportunity for those willing to take risks.

[pooya87]

if nothing unexpected happens NO. there is no way to see any dip anymore.

but with bitcoin there is always a chance of something unexpected happening. the bitmain crap is still ongoing despite them signalling for SegWit. the FUD is also always something you need to look out for.
on the other hand there isn't that much time left before August 1 so there is not really enough room to play games and push price below $2000. although we may see something similar to Litecoin SegWit shenanigans again.

[Wesimon]

Since bitcoin price got up, many people will try to sell their bitcoin because of the fear that it might go down again. This could have possibly affect the bitcoin price of bitcoin before august 1, anyways if the price of bitcoin decline it will be a great opportunity to buy.

[chip1994]

I guess the price of Bitcoin will dip again and breakdown to lowest price around $1800 - $1500, if use technical analysic you can see yesterday Bitcoin can't breakout resistance line and still bearish trend. The recovery price just bull trap!

[RoommateAgreement]

your poll is misleading because it is not asking the same question as your topic subject!
a correction is always going to happen. it happened yesterday when price reached $2400ish and started dropping down. that small drop down is the correction and it will always happen.

dip below $2000 however is not a correction it is a massive dump. and i don't think it will happen again. depending on how much rise we are going to see in the upcoming days price may never go below $2000 and even if a dump happens it will be much smaller this time.

[DrGuns4Hands]

yes because because the last week before august 1st is the real panic selling where half of the user in bitcoin would definitely sell their bitcoin because they don't want to risk their btc just to stand what they into. but being a aware on what's possibly could happen is the most better to do. I've been part of bitcoin since the price of bitcoin is around $500 so i know what it feels when i sell out all my bitcoin when the august 1st will come. so just like what im always saying its better to be safe than sorry.

[MiladMax]

No, you've lost the chance.

[jerowacik]

Anything can happen to bitcoin. Bitcoin prices will be easy to change, especially you are people who have long known bitcoin.
Many stories that we can use as a lesson. Do not be strange when you see bitcoin prices increase and decrease easily.

[TravelMug]

IMHO, yes bitcoin price will go down sub $2000 as we go near that date. The uncertainly is going to be real that a lot of people would rather sell off their bitcoin before Aug 1 and not worry and will go back again once everything looks fine. But I don't want to speculate how low the price could be. I just believe that it will go down. Although I'm not sure as well when the price dip will be a perfect time to buy again because of the low price. Let's just wait and see how everything will pan out.

[denny27]

If it seems to me, it will not happen again. Seen now bitcoin prices have started to boost again and start rising above $2000. But that's just my prediction alone, I do not know whether bitcoin fall below 2000 again or not, which obviously in my opinion will not fall below $2000 again. Well hopefully, just wishes only of me and my prediction.

[wuvdoll]

But, if you refer coin.dance the softfork consensus is having solid 88% support from miners which means there will be no more panic about chain split to happen and scalability issue will be solved in a manner we all preferring. In this case there will be no more chances for prices to fall down below $2000 anymore.

I am expecting prices to touch $2950 once again but well in advance august 1. We can expect another downfall from $2900+ but I am sure that will not break $2000 levels.

[Shinpako09]

It seems the dip below $2000 is over for this month though everything could happen as we are getting near at Aug 1st. Price is currently slowly recovering from the dip and seems panic is over so I guess there is no second time dip before Aug 1.

[tobs]

I think that we are still in that fear, panic low time. The correction that happened and that rapid jump from $1800 to $2300 can be just people wanting to grab as many cheap coins as they could. Everyone here is talking that it was the best possibility to buy cheap coins and now we are heading for 5k and so on. The comeback from 1800 was too quick to claim it as natural correction, it's just people wanting to buy at low price that without knowing pumped its price back to above 2000. And as it's pumped price we can expect it to drop again and remain low until August 1st with these "pumping" episodes of $2000+ back again for couple of days. It's not like we are magically "safe". I know that everyone here believes in bitcoin as a general idea and is hoping for it to grow to 1000000 per coin, but there are businessmen looking at it purely financially and with millions of dollars invested they are going to be afraid and panic hearing something about dangerous things happening on August 1st.

well we can't really assure that mate as we all knew that it will still happen if split will happen since there might be two coins and it will
need to adjust though it still in speculation and segwit seems to be winning but whales might be still not enough and will continue to
shake till aug 1 past.

[hahay]

I personally feel the bitcoin price will still drop again before 1st of August, but it does not seem to be going down too far. I think $1800 - $2000 is the fall of bitcoin prices before 1 August.

[WEB slicer]

I personally feel the bitcoin price will still drop again before 1st of August, but it does not seem to be going down too far. I think $1800 - $2000 is the fall of bitcoin prices before 1 August.

Everybody will press the panic sell button before 1 august. I also expect prices will go down till 1500$(support line) btc/usd rate

People will panic, sell and then it'll go back within a couple of weeks.

[d5000]

It's funny how much the price currently depends on the Segwit2x evolution - one could build a bot taking Twitter announcements from pool owners & Segwit2x developers and the signalling rate for BIP91 as a source for trading.

So definitively it's possible that we dump again under $2000 or even lower:
- if in the current signalling period we don't reach 80% for BIP91, I think we'll see the $2100 region again.
- if in the second signalling period we stay continuously under 80%, $2000 could be broken.
- if a major pool publicly announces it drops out of the agreement and doesn't signal BIP91, then I expect prices of less than $1800. It is even possible that then the old ATH from 2013 of ~$1250 or ~$1160 (depending if MtGox or Bitstamp) is being tested.

How likely is that? Well, for now, I think we have a 70-80% probability for BIP91 Segwit2x to lock in, but the second scenario I described could well become true (the third is unlikely, I think), so yes, we could have a 50% probability to fall again below $2000.

I must say, we have the same perspective on  these coming days. Up until now, uncertainties are circling the community, no one is certain about what will happen on the said date. Though the panic selling stopped early than I expected, this might just happen again as we approach the day. I think we might go deeper than 1800 USD next time. I am not certain but this is what I am expecting.

[teamcryptonator]

I checked many people choose next time will have the bloodbath and the price of Bitcoin dip again. But with me I very like doing the opposite with idea of crowd and waiting my profit . I will hold my Bitcoin and buying at now for go ahead haha

[unknown04]

IMO, I think it will, since last few days ago it happened. It can happen again easily.

[FromTheStars]

It's usually been dipping hard on weekends so we'll find out in about 2 days.

[chineseprancing]

We never know that, but there's a possibility that bitcoin price was dip below $2000. Because marketing of bitcoin was affected to coming separation of bitcoin segwit. That's why more users were sell their bitcoin also, they were worries regarding to the declining value of bitcoin in the market.

How can you explain that now the price of bitcoin 2513 dollars? The price is rising before our eyes. August 21 must be stopped segwit? While I was writing this post the price is $ 2518! I'm in shock! It generally defies any logic.

No more dips here after.Bitcoin has already recovered from its down fall and now its price is around $2577.Bitcoin would only tend to move in bullish trend here after.So it would be wise to hold bitcoins instead of selling in panic.

[xIIImaL]

We cannot speculates the bitcoin changes exactly still it is easy identify the symptoms and implementation which gonna happen in upcoming month and compare that with bitcoin chart changes. That will give answer to know whether price gonna fall near or not.

[CheapYoutubeHits]

Price still  hasnt diped below 2000 and infact its actualy rising atm!

[Herman Hesse]

I don't believe that the price of BTC will dip below 2000 USD before 1 Aug, I think 2200 should be the bottom for now, unless something big comes out..

But I would like to here your opinion on one interesting question.

Since the situation with SegWit, fork etc is practicaly resolved (with fork at least till November),

I would  like to hear your opinion  what could be the cause of dip in price during July, August and September (by dio I mean price dip of at least 10 % in one or two days..)

1) some other bad news that causes panic

2) regular corrections, (like on May 27)

3) planned try of dump by big players

4) ... ??

5) ... ??

[Anno MMXVI]

We are July 21st and way more closer to 3000$ than to 2000$, so I definitely voted "No". As the situation is heading toward a SegWit activation, people cleared their fears and the price is growing back, and I do no think we will see any sharp drop any time soon.

[darkagentx]

Many have failed since the past weeks on what will be the effect on the price of bitcoin, even old vinny have failed to predict the outcome, he said that bitcoin price will be even lower than 1800 USD, but what happened was the reverse. I dare say BTC will reach 3800 usd before August 1.

[tn211]

I honesty hope it will happen but I have to be realistic too and no I don't think that is going to happen because the bip 91 is locked in which means the next step to segwit and the HF has settled in.

Now miners are signaling for it, the drama is over, at least for now.

[CheapYoutubeHits]

Bumping this up

Even if bitcoin is difficult to predict it is not like it is completely unpredictable, the recent increase in price came mostly from BIP 91 locking in and the fact that we are at least going to avoid a fork in the date of August 1, that does not mean a fork could not happen but at least we avoided it for now

[cpfreeplz]

Well it did but if you didn't buy you missed your chance. Things are really looking up right now with BIP91. I'm HODLing on forever so what do I care!?

Well, we not know after locked BIP91 will have error or not, the whales and big boy always want find reason make crash before they pump Bitcoin again, I think from $1800 to $3000 still can't helps them like this profit, maybe crash again will interesting than

That's what I'm thinking. Any big players that got their coins at 1800 could easily now pump it to 3000 just to crash it again using the opportunity of August 1st rumors and people generally not knowing what will happen. It will be hard to take bitcoin price to such lows after we sort out all this segwit problems so they may want to get their profit again this month as it's still hot topic with lots of uncertainty.

that's ez money for those damn whales but people could just follow the trend they made and take advantage over it. Many chances that BIP 91 if successful could pumps the price like a rocket but things could happen the opposite indeed.
Just the obvious movement that people could take is to buy when the price hittings its lowest point, people could learn from what've happened recently from the recent dumps

[Question123]

I hope in august 1 the orice will not decrease at 2000 dollars I hope the price will become 3000 dollars so we can make a lot of profit. The price of bitcoin last week down at 2000 dollars but it will recover again back to the current price and the price as of now is more high compared the price before . More bitcoin more money to come with youn so hold your bitcoin and make a lot of profit in the future.

So what do you think? Bitcoin has dipped below 2000 USD cause of the panic sales people had for the oncoming aug 1 hard-fork,

Do yall think this is the only dip + correction we will see before august 1? And that we stay at the 2000 bottom,

Or do you think that the real price dip still has to come?

It does seem like right now that people are again pumping bitcoin probably because BIP91 seems to be enjoying a pretty healthy amount of support and if it was to be activated then that would mean the activation of Segwit which is probably the majority's choice right now.

Ultimately though it does depend on what happens after the crucial August 1 date, it is completely unpredictable and if you have followed any sort of bitcoin media you'll see that even the experts cant' be sure of what's going to happen.

Dip could well happen if support for BIP91 drops to sub 80% for prolonged periods of time, or could be just a whale trying to get out of bitcoin before the August 1 date to cash out his enormous profits.

[kwukduck]

Nothing changes. Bitcoin will still hardfork.
Bip91 is irrelevant.
The split is SegWit vs SegWit2x. Impatient parties pushing miners to conform to 2x while the users just want SegWit in a normal way.
This will cause disaster in the bitcoin economy so, yes, we will see sub 2000 again very soon.

I think its hardly impossible for bitcoin to fall down below $2000 as we already see its price recovering and newbies regretting for their decision of selling bitcoins at lower price.Even bitcoin price may increase above $3000 after august 1.Those who bought bitcoins last week at $1850 were lucky enough to buy at cheap rate.

Yeah. It is now impossible because because BIP91 became successful and segwit2x moves one step. Aug 1 is now a regular day and nothing else with it. The split tension  is temporarily freeze.

i agree bitcoin now go up on the top after the fork issue i hink the bitcoin rebond and pumping starting a week go uprise bitcoin contiunue to the highest level of their value until august 1 continue increase the value until the end of this year.

After the activation of Segwit through Segwit2x which is about to happen, hardfork will take place in November which is quite far away to speculate anything about price. I didn't understand your point of splitting between Segwit and Segwit2x as Segwit2x is bringing Segwit. They aren't competing. As Segwit is about to get active, thus, BIP148 won’t trigger the orphaning of non-Segwit signalling blocks at all. Hence, no splitting.

SW2x is completely unnecessary, badly coded and causes tension within the community. Just because a bunch of miners were basically tricked to sign up for it doesn't mean the users have to. Regular SW resolves all the problems we have and ensures a smooth road for the future.

Just a couple of days ago the price was below $2000, so it wouldn't surprise me too much if it dropped that low again before Aug 1. We could see a selloff before then as everyone scrambles to protect themselves from a potential fork.

I've made some moves already and my plan is to HODL for now. I'm not too worried about losing anything because I think whichever coin survives the split will do fine in the long run.

[d5000]

Although a dip has already ocurred (and didn't last long) I wouldn't totally rule out another dip this week, just before the Segwit activation (that should take us to Jupiter at least ).

The reason: BIP91 is constructed in a way that there could be some forks "on the road", if non-BIP91-miners "accidentally" mine 2+ blocks in a row without following the soft fork rules. Such an event could be used by short sellers - even a small cartel with some miners that mine non-BIP91 blocks (only for a short time, because otherwise they would harm themselves if big generalized price crash occurs) is possible.

And don't forget we have a nice triangle formation closing on Tuesday or Wednesday (just when the new Segwit signalling period begins).

(But no, I really don't believe in sub-2000 prices anymore. At least until September/October.)

[MRlong]

I say yes. Have two reason make me choose it:

1. August in 2016 and 2015 are the time Bitcoin decreasing, although not know the reason make that but this is a rules in 2 years ago!
2. Use technical analysic for compare chart Bitcoin in 2017 with 2013, I can see some similarities after the price of Bitcoin breakdown to $1800 and recovery to $2900 after some days. Maybe we are stay in Elliot waves B is bullish trap and if August 1st is waves C, we will see big breakdown in that time!

[HaXX0R1337]

I am not really thinking about a correction before August,lets see how things will go and how the fork will go and after that we would know what the direction of bitcoin will be,i am hoping for a good rally if everything goes well and these are uncertain times as no can clearly predict what the future holds when it comes to the price.

even the August 1 split event will not happen since it was voted to stop at the mean time, predicting prices were still hard to determine. We still need to hold knowing those values can still goes high. Sell only if needed money

Some guys think there will be a correction on november because we'll have another split possiblity on november. I will start trading bitcoin after the exchange lock ends. If goes under $2,500, I'll buy some to save.

[The_Dark_Knight]

Well it did but if you didn't buy you missed your chance. Things are really looking up right now with BIP91. I'm HODLing on forever so what do I care!?

I have this very same philosophy, I’m going to hold for at least 10 years maybe more and I’m going to take any opportunity in which the price gets lower than normal to buy as much bitcoin as I can, that way when bitcoin skyrockets I can profit even more than I could with my current holdings.

[facenew111]

...

[facenew111]

Nothing changes. Bitcoin will still hardfork.
Bip91 is irrelevant.
The split is SegWit vs SegWit2x. Impatient parties pushing miners to conform to 2x while the users just want SegWit in a normal way.
This will cause disaster in the bitcoin economy so, yes, we will see sub 2000 again very soon.

After the activation of Segwit through Segwit2x which is about to happen, hardfork will take place in November which is quite far away to speculate anything about price. I didn't understand your point of splitting between Segwit and Segwit2x as Segwit2x is bringing Segwit. They aren't competing. As Segwit is about to get active, thus, BIP148 won’t trigger the orphaning of non-Segwit signalling blocks at all. Hence, no splitting.

SW2x is completely unnecessary, badly coded and causes tension within the community. Just because a bunch of miners were basically tricked to sign up for it doesn't mean the users have to. Regular SW resolves all the problems we have and ensures a smooth road for the future.

you just estimate that btc will fall on 17 July but it did not fall.
Do you really believe it will fall again this week?

what is reason?

[Rajamuda]

It seems that it will not happened again, indeed bitcoin prices can not we guess exactly but now looks consistently bitcoin prices above $ 2000. And it reinforces that bitcoin prices are above and seem unlikely before 1 Aug bitcoin prices suddenly dropped dramatically to below $ 2000. So i think don't panic and stay hunting profits by bitcoin.

[chip1994]

No, in 2017 the crypto world have many more changes on market. It not as 2013-2014 have big crash by the news Mt.Gox exchange stealing money of user and escape. After admin Mt.Gox had arrested, the price of Bitcoin have some signal increasing from 2015 until today. I believe after August 1st Bitcoin will reach to $5000 soon

This is hardly to predict of what price it will take before aug1 but for me I think it will not dumped below $2000. As the price is started to recover because of the dump happen before. Yes let not panic on the what the outcomes may happen lets just joined the rides. And still lets earn profit on bitcoin.

Technical analysis of cryptomarket was never a good option to estimate trends - we can agree that for the most part, technical indicators are not working correctly.
Indicators are lagging, create a noise and are simply elaborate method of guessing. Bitcoin might reach the moon and go back and technical indicators won't have time to react accordingly.
Bitcoin scaling upgrade is something unique and new, we can't compare the current market situation to anything that happened before just because charts look similar.

[machinek20]

Seems like the price has gradually recovered and being stable over 2500$, and a lot of people relieved that the forking wont be happening, so with this positive trend I dont see any chances to drop under 2000$ unless suddenly forking happened

[ultrloa]

Hard to predict its price if that date will occur since its pretty unpredictable markets happening on bitcoins right now but if we want to earn with this and do gamble well much better if we grab some balance for buying some btc by that time occur, but i don't expect for the price to get down by that moment but instead the one will surely occur is the rising of its value.

[LilibethSantos]

There might be another mini-panic for those that are out of the loop. Otherwise, I think Bitcoin will skyrocket this year.

The miners wanted to hard fork to a 2MB increase in bitcoin, but now we have bitcoin cash that has an increase to 8MB blocks I think this measure was taken because some miners thought that the hard fork planned for November was not going to happen and now are taking matters in their own hands.

[CheapYoutubeHits]

Yea i think the big panic already happend,


Price seems to still be increasing even right before Aug 1,

But anything can happen , we will need to wait and see .

[tobs]

The price increasing that we see now can be a big pump that if it breaks it's gonna fall hard. I think August 1st has been already claimed as some sort of a doomsday and whatever happens to bitcoin on the technical site, so whether or not there is going to be a fork or any problems, people will still remember of this widely spoken disaster that August 1st can be to bitcoin and still will panic and sell their coins in bulk "just in case".

[suryana]

I dont think there will be bitcoin rate at $ 2000. Aug 1 will not have a big effect on the price decline, it's just the opposite. Bitcoin will continue to creep up..

[ahmia39]

It will not happen, bitcoin will never fall to $2000 as it once was. More countries that receive bitcoin as a means of payment will reinforce bitcoin exchange rate. Even, price bitcoin continue to rise from year to year.

[fanten]

just 2 days before August 31 and bitcoin price still increasing exponential. I think most likely the price wont dip anymore and will skyrocket to the moon after August 31.

[aysg76]

The situation quite unpredictable at this very moment. Anything could gonna happen as it may dip below 2000$ before 1st August. But there are possibilities that the will uptrend soon.

Correct, there are no similarities, the 2013 crash was a bubble like nothing we have ever seen in bitcoin and the crash that followed was spectacular as well and the price of bitcoin was depressed for years after it, so this situation is nothing like it was before.

[CyberKuro]

Last time bitcoin price fall below $2000 in this month and already recover over $2700 right now, people expect bitcoin price drop back before hard fork but it seems persist at this point. So, we can assume that people may buy and hold bitcoin in order to get free bcc as well and bitcoin price could be increase after hard fork. If people cash out bcc and buy bitcoin after hard fork, then we will see significant increase more than $3000.

[Opekin]

So what do you think? Bitcoin has dipped below 2000 USD cause of the panic sales people had for the oncoming aug 1 hard-fork,

Do yall think this is the only dip + correction we will see before august 1? And that we stay at the 2000 bottom,

Or do you think that the real price dip still has to come?

No , i think all is done and bitcoins price now is only waiting after August 1 to pump .Maybe in exact august 1 we can see some small dumps in price but it is only like that will not go more than below 2500$.

[d5000]

I will slightly correct my previous prediction.

I still believe that in the mid-term we should see a bullish evolution of the Bitcoin price. But reading /r/btc there seems to be nearly a consensus among big blockers to support Bitcoin Cash. So I expect that on August 1-5 we will see a pretty nice dump. I don't really know anymore if this won't drive the price once again under $2000, before we see the final Segwit rally in mid August.

The dump could begin even before August 1 because of Bitcoin speculators/traders deciding to dump before the "real dump" occurs (and eventually re-buy BTC and Bitcoin Cash at lower prices). So tomorrow today it will be very interesting to follow the price evolution. I, however, do not believe that we see sub-2000 prices before the Bitcoin Cash fork occurs, but it could go well under $2500.

[Taki]

As I see on an exchanger the price is only growing and it's 31 of July already. So, all negative predictions didn't come true. I am impatient to see what is going to be with the price during this day and on the 1st of August

Only one way to find out, hold it and claim your BCC. This way you can have your free BCC just like how we got Byteballs and so BTC will continue. I think it will also rise like before. Prediction says BTC will be $500K in 5 years. 

[bubblebit]

At this moment BTCitcoin is still on high arrows. One day to go after august1 or on that day, my prediction is stable or higher to 2900$ it would be just appropriate to hold on it.

There are even bolder predictions. Some analysts and famous people believe that bitcoin can reach a very high price.
August 1 and a few days after this date will be a small price reduction. I do not think that we will see a strong collapse

[KingdomHearts]

At this moment BTCitcoin is still on high arrows. One day to go after august1 or on that day, my prediction is stable or higher to 2900$ it would be just appropriate to hold on it.

Yes, I am also expecting prices to be around $3000 levels in next few hours as there could be more hype about getting then scalabilty issue solved by august 1. But we need to remember that traders might have moved away their coins from exchanges and they may not go for buying new coins till everything will be settle down hence I do see prices to stable for next two days.

[The_Dark_Knight]

The situation quite unpredictable at this very moment. Anything could gonna happen as it may dip below 2000$ before 1st August. But there are possibilities that the will uptrend soon.
 

Fortunately for us nothing like this happened, bitcoin is holding its price and there is not a reason to think anything like this is going to happen, if bitcoin cash was an attempt of the miners to try to make the price of bitcoin crash to buy even more and get bigger earnings then that plan seems to have failed.

[Siren]

We already got the answer isn't it? It didn't dip as we expected but instead the price looks above $2700 after the fork. And it even increase for a big hours before the fork at $2900 and some exchanges reported at passing the $3000 mark. So all the fears and uncertainty should have gone for now and we expect a good price ceiling in the future. I think we can say that the fork didn't affect the market price at all, if it did then we didn't noticed it all.

The title's question has been answered as indeed the price didn't drop, solely on August 1st it actually didn't do anything spectacular in any direction. It may have gone up to $3000 in last days, but it doesn't mean we won't see that "August 1st drop". Because it's a really probably dump that can happen because of what has happened and all the segwit stuff. We didn't see it yesterday, but there is this chance in a few weeks, maybe still in August. There are big players that can enjoy price being pumped to $3000 just to sell it and buy back when it hits $2000 again. We need to wait and see how that BCC will act. There are people that actually believe in it, not sure if trolling or wanting to fakeingly pump the price, but if they have a support of some big players we may even see this coin survive at some random $500 price.

The only reason it did not dip and had a good price before Aug 1 was because people realised they were going to be getting free coins at the price of holding some coins until the split happened and am counting on bitcoin to rally when more people figure out how to split their bitcoins for the main chain bitcoin (XBT) and Bitcoin cash(BCH),otherwise we not going back below $2k for now..probably never.

If that was the only reason then bitcoin should have dropped in price after people figure out how to get their bitcoin cash but that is not what happened, even after all of that the price of bitcoin keeps strong and the one that is losing value is bitcoin cash.

There will be huge pump like btc will reach to $3500 or $4000 because as the current market showing the ability of bitcoin. SegWit implementation will play big role so everybody is keep watching the change so let's hope for the best to see how market will be change after 1 August. So in my opinion it will goes to 5000 USD soon at the end of August.

[Eternu]

I have believed that price would go down, because of fork coming on 1st of August, and panic sale. But i was surprised when i saw that price did not go down below 2000 dollars. And i believe that was good thing, that mean that people have more faith in bitcoin than i thought. Now i see that price is 3100 dollars, and that was even more amazing to me. Now i am thinking what will be top price that bitcoin will come to.

Right, it now all clear there no dump right now as someone else predict after segwit active possibility to chance dumps in price and most of them have failed miserably. Recent pumps call a big knock and give us upcoming alert Bitcoin's price may be hit $4000 to $5000.

[HatakeKakashi]

Those people for sure sell their bitcoin before august 1 they lose opportunity to earn more. Because if you see the price of bitcoin today its already 3000 dollars and continue to increase and I hope it will increase more so we can earn alot of peofit in the future. Before august 1 the pruce down at 2000 dollars butit will recover again after few days and for sure this month bitcoin price will increase more.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Guess that didn't happen!  I was not expecting btc to drop that low, but
I wasn't exactly expecting $3K quite this soon, either.  This market is
always full of surprises.   Now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that
these gains are sustainable.   We could crash back down to $1900 again
pretty easily enough.   Let us hope that doesn't happen.

[ktabb]

Well that answers that... seeing all time highs now.

[nmaryrai]

Nightmares never happen again. This is glorious time for bitcoin to succeed. Bitcoin prices continue to sky. Logically, for what world's major countries accept bitcoin as means payment if bitcoin rate will decline much lower as in previous years.

The panic selling happened a lot earlier, at some point bitcoin reached a price below 1900 if I remember correctly, that was the moment to buy bitcoin, now I do not think we are ever going to see that price again, but if you are a bitcoin holder that is not really that important.

That time dip price BTC under $2000 before August 1st, although panic selling make the price of Bitcoin flash crashing, but then a huge number order buying recovery the price of Bitcoin and create strong support line at $2500 until breakout resistance line at $3000 in past days.

We might not see that price go sub $2000 again and yeah I think that is the best price to buy bitcoin. However, if you missed that boat then I guess you need to wait buy the question is when we are going to see bitcoin floor again below $2000? Really hard to predict now as we are seeing a massive bull run just right after the Aug 1 fork. BCC cash is also enjoying its price. So it you have extra funds then don't wait, just buy it so that you can still profit if the future holds for like $5000 or more in the future.

A possibility of seeing a price close to that is in the weeks before November since the miners still seem to be determined to try to make a hard fork, that will create the perfect storm for those that like to take advantage of opportunities and buy bitcoin while it is cheap.

[lesom]

In fact, I do not know what should happen, that bitcoin would fall below $ 2000, as for August 1, then the situation is confused, it was silly to think that the equation will be August 1, most likely it will happen in a couple of months, in the middle of autumn or the end And its price will be from 3000 to 3500 $
