I doubt that the price climbs to $ 6000 it was pumping. It was predictable and has a logical explanation. I think that after Oct 25, we are waiting for this predictable decline. Those who are afraid of today's falling prices may not panic. I am sure that tomorrow the price will go up and maybe even reach 6500 dollars. Have patience and you will be rewarded.

Of course that's expected. Whatever goes up must go down eventually. The question now is what's the next floor?

No I don't think that bitcoin price can go lower as the fork is expectedly for 25 October and till then there are no chances of it getting dumped and after that there is 1st November lwndmqrk on which segwit 2x will be activated so till then also there aren't any chances of bitcoin getting dumped, everyone think that bitcoin is being pumped whenever it's price start rising rapidly, I can't seem too understand the reason behind that.

nest time sell when the dip begins, which means nearly 22 hours ago when price was $6100 and the first big red candle is marking the initiation of the dip. and not at the bottom when everything is being reversed meaning at $5700

if you do that you won't be angry next time to create a throwaway account to call bitcoin "pump and dump" and go away

and if you can't then maybe you have to give up trading and buy & hold instead.

It is a record high, of course there will be a large group of investors who had $6,000 as a target and want to cash out as early as possible. You cannot expect it to keep going up forever without any reversals. I think the grow it has seen in the last couple years is phenomenal, yet people still complain..

Just because there has been a slight correction doesn't mean that it is a pump and dump. Of course, there will be profit booking at different levels. You can't expect anything else from financial investors. We will just consolidated before moving the next move upwards.

[Krikke]

It's holding pretty well imo, obviously there will be fluctuation and even flash crashes. But the BTC uptrend is still strong!

But actually in that particular case it is a pump and dump. The price raised so much, because everyone wants to acquire as many bitcoins as possible to get "free money" after the fork. That's the pump phase. And when the fork happens, they will sell most of their excess bitcoins that they had bought only for that one moment, and it will be the dump phase. Probably will end at something like $4300 and then it will again raise naturally, because many people will want to take the opportunity of bitcoin at $4300 so they will start buying it again.

The next floor is unpredictable. The same might grow higher or will remain in this same platform without much pumping or dumping. In reality surely price pumping happens with regards to the time period. If this is just an pump and dump mechanism then the price right now could have gone much lower based on different speculation from users all around.

Yes. Don't forget good old fashioned profit taking as well. When something goes up this fast, it makes people nervous (they "climb a wall of worry") and often sell just to crystallise the gains.

I agree that this is possibly just a correction to come along with the whole fork. I mean, a lot of people expected this drop to come very close to the time of the second Bitcoin fork and they are definitely not wrong to have expected it. People will end up getting their Bitcoin gold and dumping that almost instantly for Bitcoin, so you might not even end up losing much on this correction.

[Gaaara]

That was obvious, the real question is when exactly? Bitcoin is being consistent at pumping, there are some dump that happens but only at a low level bitcoin price will go down but it is only temporary.
There are some investors that will deny bitcoin but that was only to gain profit then come back after, so pump and dump will always happen as long as there are some investors who doubt it.

[susila_bai]

This price corrections is just the profit booked by the small traders and very soon we will see that the price is moving above 6500+ before hardfork because their will be heavy dump after hardfork.

[Torque]

Yeah, I really hate these PnDs that keep rising every $1k. My net worth just keeps going up and up. 

I hope these PnDs don't keep happening years or decades into the future.

A correction and taking profits is a bit different from a downtrend. You're mixing up the terminology!
There's no reason for a downtrend now because Bitcoin is still strong, but a correction will surely come after the fork when people sell their Bitcoin Gold and will no longer need to hold as many Bitcoins as they do now. There are still opportunities in altcoins and some of the money may go that way.

Looks like bitcoin is now going down, maybe this is one of those process that happens before a good pump? i dont know why it has dropped so much since yesterday, it was upto $6200 each btc and now it is below $5900 each one. anyway, i am still positive about bitcoin and i can not complain about anything.
But i was going to withdraw some bitcoin tomorrow and i will hope to see bitcoin over $6000 again.

[kwukduck]

It's always like this, right before the massive crash it runs up.

Fact is, people don't want centralization like Bitcoin.
They want decentralization, which is exactly what BTG offers.
BTC is Bitcoin of the people, in contrast to the now Corporate Bankster Bitcoin Core.

Bitcoin Core will be sold hard to get BTG by anyone but a few people that don't understand the fundamentals.
Just 40 more hours before shit hits the fan and rivers of blood will flow through bitcoin land once again.
We'll see news stories again of people suiciding because they sold everything they have to get into Bitcoin Core and losing it all.

This usually happened because the price going up too fast, it likes people playing pump and dump game, so there are no actual people increase their investment in bitcoin, and this few days rising is because most of them want to get bitcoingold, a lot of people attempted to obtain this free coin after they saw how valuable the bitcoincash

[MiningSensei]

Probably it will go up in the next hours, we all believe in bitcoin and i really think that the price will climb again to $6200 as soon as possible. But we should think about the upcoming fork too, it is going to dump bitcoin price a little too. But we should see how it goes, anyway, i dont think that it all was just a dump and pump, because we have been hearing good news for more than two weeks, and that is the only thing that matters, the good news about bitcoin.
