Will Bitcoin Experience More Price Volatility in 2018?

[shawn995]

It is going to encounter that unpredictability without a doubt since it's soley made and brought by individuals based on instability.. The sole premise of a digital currency is unpredictability accordingly I don't figure it will ever be steady for over seven days. Likewise individuals are expecting the cost of bitcoins to rise again to a plunge esteem however on the other hand forecasts don't work in this unstable bitcoins case.
Some are stating after the duty day it will rise . how about we perceive how that goes .

Even if I am expecting volatility I believe that we will see fewer panic situations in the market. There will be the involvement of big whales and institutional investors but the price won't rise overnight but at a sustainable growth rate. At the ground level, it is the subject matter of the mass maturity and it is growing day by day so things won't be the same like last few years.

I think bitcoin in 2018 has experienced more volatility than all the previous years combined. Prices have gone down drastically and then have also risen to be twice the price which it dropped to. Just this last week, we saw bitcoin move $1000 in less than an hour. So much more volatile.

Bitcoin may not going to be as volatile as it is in2017 but I am very sure we will still have a good year in 2018. More good news are coming out and we should rejoice that Samsung want to make used of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Bitcoin is going to go above the December high soonest.

tim draper predicts a 250000 bitcoin. Others 100000. If you look at the past bitcoin never just goes straight up. So there is no evidence to suggest the future will be any different

Bitcoin may not going to be as volatile as it is in2017 but I am very sure we will still have a good year in 2018. More good news are coming out and we should rejoice that Samsung want to make used of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Bitcoin is going to go above the December high soonest.

The way understand it, Samsung is not joining the crypto sphere, they are using blockchain technology within their company because we all know how blockchain has many advantage. And with the size of Samsung, they really need a ledger that can be accessible from anywhere the world so that decisions (and profit) can be made in an instant, because data are being shared across.

Well this article is written back in January so yeah we have been experiencing volatility since then because bitcoin is now at $8K. But he totally get it wrong (most of the them though!) that bitcoin will not see a price below $10K as we have been on a downfall after reaching all-time-high last December.

In 2017, Bitcoin recorded the most unprecedented gains, making it the most sought after cryptocurrency in the market. As a result, most people are buying Bitcoin for speculative purposes with the hope of cashing on price increases.

 
Having risen to a high of nearly $20,000 in mid December, Bitcoin experienced high volatility towards the end of 2017, raising the question of whether its price could plunge to below $10,000. But as HOQU's Co-Founder and CEO, Alex Shmonov notes, high volatility is nothing new to Bitcoin.

 
"The price of Bitcoin has always been very volatile even on fake news as many people buy this asset for the sake of speculation and profit. The reality is that the entire crypto market can flop by 90% and this will be normal. We saw this with Bitcoin before. But after some time and after the dust has settled, prices will return to new heights, because progress will go further and people will understand that the problems that caused the drop are resolved or almost solved," he says.
 

Even so, certain factors fuel the volatility of Bitcoin, and one such factor is government statements on cryptocurrency regulation. On Thursday 28th of December, 2017, Bitcoin prices plunged by the double digits following the announcement of fresh regulations in the world's third largest cryptocurrency market, South Korea. Going by the trend set by this southern peninsula, there’s no doubt that more price swings in the cryptocurrency market will follow.

 
"The volatility in the price action mirrors the uncertainty in world regulation. Each positive statement from a country or exchange sees a boost in the Bitcoin price, and each proposed clampdown produces a price drop. Changes in regulation is the key price driver for Bitcoin and that won’t change in 2018. I think price volatility will increase this year, this will not be a time for the faint hearted. Reduce your exposure to price volatility by diversifying a little of your portfolio - now," says Linda Leaney, CFO at Globcoin.
 

According to Marcus Vandea, CEO of Playfold, Bitcoin has a highly volatile nature. But even with its price swings, it’ll be hard for its value to drop below the $10,000 mark.

 
"High volatility will always be an intrinsic part of Bitcoin, with 30% shifts that always happened but are now more noticeable because of its high value. It’s difficult to believe that Bitcoin will plunge below $10000, as it is now more popular and desired than ever. But extreme value swings will keep happening and will keep discouraging the light hearted investors," he says.

 
Bitcoin braved the turbulence in 2017, increasing its value from $1000 in January to reach a high of $19,700 in early December, before closing the year at about $14,000.

 

Dreaming to become very wealthy about cryptocurrency is really good because you can get rich even in your younger age if you are not tired of working on bounty campaigns or trading in the market.

I believe so. Because they are now planning to regulate cryptocurrencies and planning to add Tax on it, so with the new regulations it will affect Bitcoin's price. But I think it will give a positive effect on the crypto market because people will know that crypto world is not a scam.

You can see that the current price of bitcoin is in a strong downtrend, so it is difficult to exceed the $ 19800 level by the end of 2017. The market is in a severe crisis when the price of altcoin also fell on bitcoin, market capitalization has evaporated $ 500 billion and is now at $ 300 billion. I believe the bitcoin girl will reach $ 1000 in 2018.

I very much want to hope for an increase in bitcoin volatility this year, but only in the direction of its growth, and then the fall already exhausted all nerves.

It is getting more volatile as of today and it could be more for the reason that many people have engage in here. The wide acceptance of bitcoin really boosting it's volatility growth in the market but the good thing of having of these is that, surely people will have a huge chnaces to earned more profit if they play it will.

[Barbarian]

I do not see any reason for the volatility of bitcoin to go down, if anything there is a chance the volatility will go up there are many governments that are passing laws against cryptocurrencies that may be negative and that could scare investors which will make them sell their coins.

Its volatility is part of its being successful and popular. It has its advantages and disadvantages, and it depends what it means to be volatile. It could be an increase or decrease its value. When trading, if it's low, it's an opportunity to buy coin, and when it's high it the best way to sell it. More people will get to know and be interested to join and get involved due to this trend. Being volatile does not always mean detrimental.

BTC has received too much attention and is easily influenced by the outside world.

Because of a lot of false news, the investor's mind was disturbed and the wrong operation BTC was made.

The price that causes BTC has great fluctuation!

It depends on the investment ratio. If more people invest in bitcoin the price will go up beside it will do down. There is volatility in the price for the last few years but volatility was god because the price was growing continuously but in 2018 volatility became worst for investors because the price fell down to almost 13000 dollars from 19000 to 6000 dollars. It was a great fall in the price.

Too much volatility is also not good for bitcoin growth because new investors afraid to invest their hard earn money because of the fear of losing. I think that volatility will be there in 2018 because after 4 months there is a huge volatility in the price and it will continue. Volatility is not bad but it should be for the growth in the price and not for fall in the price.

but this is what happens in the market now and we can see that bitcoin price still volatile and the price itself is up and down too often. I think the investor will have their own analysis so they can make a good decision to buy bitcoin as their investment. besides that, from a new year until now, bitcoin price does not increase significantly and I think it's waiting for a good moment to increase more than $10k and I am sure that the price can do that. I think from the volatility, we can try to make a profit because we can buy at low price and sell at the high price and the price will change over and over.

Things have changed now, Bitcoin is not just influenced by bitcoin geeks anymore. The rising market cap clearly shows that so many new users are entering the market, Hence increasing the volatility also. Market is influence by many factors, so resulting in volatility always despite volume is low or high you need to get used to it. Coming 2018 things seem to be more volatile simply as volume is more and even the small volatility can result to change in big numbers but the volatility can comparability same over the years.

[satecream]

Yeah it may more violate than past years bitcoin being like that but many people are hoping bitcoin price can be stabilze. Because they want to using it as a currency for payment not just an investment but is too hard due the low supply on it

I think it is the opposite, it is precisely the volatility that brings more investors to bitcoin, they do not want to wait for a long time before they see great profits but the volatility has a bad side too which means that they can lose a lot of money, but personally I'm willing to accept that risk as long as I have the possibility of making great profits.

Naturally, it is not easy to foresee the changes in the prices for Bitcoin, but as I can just guess (looking at the crypto market situations), it might show the higher volatility this year.
