Uncertainty in bitcoin market.

[Idrisu]

For the pass five days we have been find indecision in bitcoin pricing and I hope this is to  the holders favour!  I have started having a little panic as most of us may have the same feeling and I did not expect bitcoin to fall below $13,000 as this is going to push many to loss.  What happen next?

Even if the bitcoin price will drop under $13,000 the potential of buying is here which will lead the price to increase more up to +$17,000 and even +$20,000 which could be possible in the next months

Nothing is happening that requires people to get worried. If you do get worried, you're probably not home in this market. We just have to accept that this market reacts on bullish signals such as future markets going live, Lightning Network being close to activation, etc. If we don't have any of that all to look forward to, the market simply doesn't know how to behave. If we look at things a bit further, it seems that the market, despite the wide range movements, is somewhat consolidating, which is a good thing. People should just relax and understand that the price moving up to $17,000 doesn't mean we're continuing the previous bull run, and that when we fall down to $12,000/$13,000 levels, it doesn't mean we're entering a bear market.

We've hand some up and downs but nothing too serious, usual fluctuation, remember that Bitcoin is highly volatile. And if we see 13k again, don't be worried, you should see it as an opportunity to buy cheap btc.
But if you're serious about having panic attacks or being scared when the price suddenly goes down, it means that you've put more money on Bitcoin than you should, remember: "invest what you can afford to lose" otherwise, you'll be in trouble.
As to what's gonna happen next, no one knows, but we need some consolidation in these 'low prices' for some time before jumping straight to 18k or more.

You are starting to have panic when I’m thinking of buying more. The price has gone up by 20 in the past twelve months. That’s insane. Then, we have had a little bear market for a month and people panic because it seems what should be normal is to go up without stop.

See when we reach ath after ath again and we get the forum flooded with threads on how fast bitcoin will reach $1.000.000.000.000.000? Then is when I’ll start to sell.

I don't see the price falling below 13k, there is uncertainty around the mining situation in China and also just the whole transaction/fee situation. I think like last time bitcoin will soon recover towards 17k and as soon as it has a solid time at that price without any setbacks it will go over 20k.

[synapsisxxx]

I wont be surprised if it drops 50%. There is too much money in the market in too little time,  dunno what part Tether played in this,  too many people looking for short term profits,  its all bad.

But i am gonna tell you something else too - in the long run its all good

Medium-term, this is extremely favourable to those like me who tend to build our holdings slowly. Every sustained dip is only an opportunity for me to add to my modest coins, since I earn in Bitcoin mainly, I'd like for it to keep this pattern for as many months as possible (seeing as I believe in its long term appreciation well above the previous ATH).

In fact, this is the best scenario I could have hoped for, since I was really expecting a major correction and longer time plumbing the floors of 10k. And no - the better scenario would NOT have been a climb back above 20k... that would just increase the likelihood of a major crisis. This "stability" is ideal for holders indeed, in my opinion anyway. May it find peace at 15k for the majority of this year!

If bitcoin find a central point at $15,000 through out 2018, I don't think it will be favourable and most of the alternative coin will definitely going to take it place. Ethereum is being speculated to grow above $15,000 in price this year and ripple is also been built up to replace bitcoin. I think we may need serious push from bitcoin in others to actually give this two coins a serious fight to remain a dominant cryptocurrency! I expect bitcoin to remain stable at $40,000 this year ending.

I just want a Core wallet that wont stutter when I open it.

I just want a Core wallet that wont stutter when I open it.

Then buy yourself a capable system and an SSD to run your Core client on. I have done the same, and it works absolutely flawlessly. It's a bit of an investment, especially compared to HDD prices, but it's worth it.

OP:

Calm down and let the market find out what it want. It's pretty safe to say that no one here has even a slight clue of what's happening other than the market potentially consolidating.

If you hodl your coins firmly, you won't lose anything. People seem to panic over normal market activity, but there is absolutely no need for that. I actually enjoy how supply and demand are battling lately.

Each time the price seems to get dumped down, and people think it will go down further, the demand makes sure the market goes back up again. Trade these price swings, or just keep hodling.

[machinek20]

Yes bitcoin price had fallen, while some alt coin rise pretty quickly, but I think we are still safe with bitcoin, it was fall down but got a quick recover, and the falling is also not too deep, just hold tight, once the investors back then bitcoin price could spike again

[Rahar02]

I would get out of BTC and invest in altcoins. BTC's technology is outdated and it's losing market dominance each and every day. It hit an all time low of around ~33% a couple of weeks ago. This only means that altcoins are on the rise and you BTC will start to fall.

The dominance number isn't so important, look at the price, it still stands over $14,500. Even if bitcoin price decline, many people are willing to buy it as has been proven before. Altcoins are on the rise due to the funds allocate from bitcoin to altcoins which seem can rise significantly or new investors/traders consider bitcoin is too expensive with a ridiculously high fee, which makes the price of altcoins recently surge to new ATH. But, when the time comes, people will cash out from altcoins and allocate their funds back to bitcoin, especially if lightning network be implemented.

[fabiorem]

Uncertainty provoked by institutional funds dumping coins they pumped after october, to win bets in CBOE and CME futures markets.

And the price is closing as CBOE predicted one month ago. They are good at "predictions", aren't they?

[sangwookie]

It's the perfect time to buy! Once you have been in the market for a while you get over FOMO and just believe in it. There is volatility every minute. Take advantage of it. You can start with $1000 usd and make a nice profit off of it via bitcoin and altcoins.

Bitcoin can't hold the 1520 as expected, and now Bitcoin is going to test for critical support at 12296. The daily timeframe is still in bulls territory but as it now the 4 hours timeframe line bears territory is tested. Let's see hows the market going.

Nobody knows what will happen next with Bitcoin and this has been the way it is since Bitcoin came into existence. In fact, we should be grateful that Bitcoin is right now holding on to the $14 --15K level which is still good actually. I am personally hoping that come next month bitcoin can accelerate a little bit more when we can see some  good news on the horizon. Bitcoin will continue to dominate as the top cryptocurrency within this year though there will always be many struggles and trials. Though it is good to also be worried, we should just be happy with the way Bitcoin is  now.

Yes it is true that the bitcoin market is very uncertain and we are looking to the profits in the crypto market the initial days were very hard because the people were not aware of the importance of bitcoin and now the large scale investors shift the market moves like the buying and selling of this currency need some knowledge and market strategies so we can say that bitcoin market as a whole is very uncertain.

[Herbert2020]

i think most of the problems and struggles that bitcoin is currently facing comes from the high fees and the fact that it has become very expensive to use bitcoin and that is not acceptable for something that is supposed to be a currency.

but from a chart perspective we are currently in the accumulation phase which has started after a huge rise and the follow up big drop. the accumulation phase seems very similar to an "uncertainty phase" too where price stays around the same price level and doesn't break out just yet.

i believe if the mempool clears up and fees come down we will definitely see price shoot up to above $20,000 in a short time.

The Price is still great even if it falls on the $13,000 but the newly investors would sure not like the way bitcoin value goes because they are expecting the new year to be bullish for bitcoin and they are expecting it to be fruitful for them, But in reality they have bought in the wrong crash for the price to dip this far, Well if they could keep a strong belief that bitcoin will go to the $20,000 value this year they would really kept investing in it and seeing this as a great opportunity for them.
