Could the Bitcoin price by the end of 2018 only 4000$ - 6000$?

[AakZaki]

It would be a terrible thing if the Bitcoin pattern is the same as in 2013-2015, it could be the end of 2018 is only about 4000 $ -6000 $, as I think if it might happen?

Let's look at the pattern in 2013-2015 below:


and this is the pattern from 2016 to the present:


What if it really happened, give your opinion?

Anything could happen on the prices, it could either go up or go down a lot depending on the events that will take place this year. News and events are affecting market demand because people decide whether they will buy more or sell their holdings. Let's just see what 2018 has in store for bitcoin. I am still hoping that bitcoin will continue to grow more.

Its may be or may be not situation and to be frank the year just has started so I think its "too too" early to start our different speculation. There are many more things which are need to be winded up before the fresh start for the bitcoin can be made. The Chinese year, different bans and forks and most important financial year end!

Lets give us ourselves some time to overcome that period first and then we might just jump in for different speculations.

Plus the year 2013-2015 can not be compared with the current one as many things have changed since hone. The popularity ratio is different too. So lets juts wait and watch.

You are not a newbie I think no need to explain the bitcoin usages and how much out reached it already got. In 2k13 you noticed the bitcoin dumped after heavy bump for just others just invested fund and bought. After that circulation drastically falls in the chart but this time huge number of people invested on bitcoin and many competitor altcoins also in the market. There is no chance to see the same situation again.

Can't see why on the world you will based the "pattern" of 2013-2015 for what will be the situation for 2016-present.

Although literally that no one knows what will happened, it's kind of a non reasonable to think as of now that we will land going back to minimum $4,000 so that it will be identical on the past charts. Patterns are just patterns but the main thing to know is, why it was happened?

Always remember that past performance can't always guarantee future results.

For now, let's just watch how price will behave this upcoming days, weeks, months etc. Still long way to think of what will be the bitcoin price at the end of 2018.

Why do you guys quoting the whole big post of op to make your post? Every one of you did the same thing (edit: except one).
If you guys really want to quote then use (~image~) to minimize the post. In my opinion it will look much better.

@Op
Anything can happen anytime, crypto market is totally unpredictable.
Your chart 2013-2015 is very similar if compare with 2016 chart, but now is 2018, crypto market has grown massively since then.
It may also possible that the price will hit $40k-$60k by 2018 instead of going down to $4k-$6k. But "if" it goes down to $4k-$6k then a massive buy/price push will happen for sure.

It is true that in January we showered with red blood, and the market is still not recovering. I've seen that even with solid news the alt market didn't respond.

Just hoping for the best.

I do not think that this will happen again, in any case, the number of bitcoins in the wallet will not change. This currency is not so widely used and in our power to spread knowledge about it and to use it in everyday life. And the price in dollars equivalent, to is it interesting? If bitcoin will accept as payment for its services and spend on purchasing services of other participants, then the system will work

[tech72]

Well, it will definitely reach 40k levels before the second yearly quarter ends. We can't really exactly predict what will be value on December 31, 2018, but we can likely predict the new heights it will touch during 2018. Currently we have FUDs of tether which is pulling price down and before we had ban FUDs. Bitcoin will be real king when it is unaffected by any such news.

With bitcoin's high volatility, its really possible to see those prices. However, it will really take a lot of bad news that will make investors pulled out their funds from the market and crash the market so hard that everyone panics resulting in the price going back to $4K-$6K.

The questions is what are those circumstances that will really pull the price to bottom? I don't think that FUD will significantly impact the market to bring the prices to its knees. The only logical choice that I can think of is that if the scalability issues wasn't resolved in the next coming months, investors will lose their trust and faith and maybe one day decided to pull their money and invest it to altcoins.

The patterns are the same over the years. After the downtrend comes the uptrend. The crypto market has been booming in the last couple of months after the heavy downtrend in August 2017 that saw the total market capitalisation drop below $100B. I think the same is happening now. I'm predicting Bitcoin to be traded at an average price of $55,000 before the end of the year.

[mriansa]

that is the price depends on the market demand, and if the desired price returns to the original price will the customers who buy bitcoin at the price of $ 15,000 and above feel depressed and desperate, bitcoin back bounced when there is a recent info that really increase the price of bitcoin and it takes a very long time. I hope the end of the year bitcoin again set the highest price record exceeds the previous highest price.

Literally anything can happen.  An emp pulse could destroy mining equipment and computers.  New entrants to the market could mistake bitcoin gold or whatever and buy that by mistake.  Regulation, emerging alt coins, financial crises, the list goes on.

Crypto markets are still very new.  I have been trading stocks for many years and cryptos for a few.  A 50% shift in bitcoin price, up or down, is completely normal, I don't even notice it anymore.  Compare that to blue chip stocks.  If any DOW component fluctuated half as much as bitcoin, investors would be jumping off of bridges.  But the stock market has been around for a very long time and is heavily regulated by comparison.  Scale is also a factor: if a mutual fund pulls 100 million from a stock, the market is big enough to absorb that without collapsing.  A similar move in the crypto markets would have a much larger effect.  Many americans put money into mutual funds for retirement, and there are more mutual funds than actual stocks.  Just based on that alone you have a regular influx of money pouring into the stock market every month.  No wonder most experts agree that it is impossible to lose if you make regular contributions to a market index fund throughout your life and don't worry about short term fluctuations.  And the math, so far, agrees:  even if you put in money before the big crashes in history, the market always rebounds and you always win.  The stock markets are relatively stable and established.  But cryptos is still the wild west.  What would happen, if Blackrock, who manages almost 6 tirllion in assets decided to make significant purchases of cryptos?  And then if they decided to get back out?  Take a look at the macros involved in different markets, it is really interesting and reveals the small size, even today, of the crypto markets.  Anyway the point is that compared to more established markets bitcoin is very volatile, dangerous, un-established, and therefore no price movement of any extreme would surprise me.

It is exciting times!  Bitcoin, THE disruptive tech of the century, is in turn being disrupted by newer and better coins before it even had a chance for wide spread adoption.  Will people buy it simply because it is the household name, or will better alternatives replace it as the standard?  If it is replaced then the price can go as low as nothing, otherwise you ain't seen nothing yet.  Either way I guarantee it will be an exciting ride.

[dlhylton]

I think in the end the price of coins will be driven by their utility. If Bitcoin is able to fix their slow transaction speeds and decrease their costs, it will have greater utility and more people will buy and use it. If they do nothing to fix their slow transaction times and costs, then it will continue to go downward to prices such as what you listed over time. The best coins in the end will win, in my opinion. If bitcoin wasn't the first dominant coin, it would not be at the top. In fact, now bitcoin is used mostly as a store of value instead of a currency due to the slow speed and high costs. However, the lightning network could fix this if implemented.

It's true if you say pattern is just a pattern, and you ask why it happened?

which we need to know in the world of Fundamental and Technical cryptocurrency.

here's my opinion:
1. because FUD occurs where
2. Technically analyzing the 5th wave should have happened

my conclusion the price will not go up unless 2 things.
1. Good news that can drive the price of Bitcoin itself
2. After reaching the lowest price such as technical analysis.

about my opinion makes sense?

[Dreamchaser21]

Its painful but I can’t afford to sold my btc at loss. Well everything is possible and if it happen or what, I will just keep on buying. I still hope that lightning network will done this 1st qtr, this can affect the price to go up. We still have more time to bring bitcoin up, lets see what will happen this month.

[Clark05]

Price of the bitcoin this moment is $9,932 and they have possible the price down at $4000-$6000 in the end of the year 2018 . If many people sell their bitcoin.  But they big chances the price will increase again the price like 40k dollars upto 50k dollars in the end of this year.

No one knows what is the exact price of the bitcoin in this year 2018. But I hope the price will increase again so we can make more profit.

[WhaleHunter]

I have been thinking at something like that all the time, such a pity I didn't sell at ATH and then rebuying in the 4000-5000 range. The point is we cannot be sure that history repeats itself. It could have a different pattern this time.

Yes even at that price most of the investors will hold their bitcoin and will even try to buy more at that price, because they know about the importance of bitcoin and therefore they will never lose heart about bitcoin investment. They have good expectation from bitcoin and hope that very soon they  will see the price of bitcoin trading in a very high price.

[patt0]

It could, and although everyone keeps trying to guess what the bitcoin price will be in the future, the truth is that no one really knows. Bitcoin depends on adoption since it runs on a free market. Right now some people are afraid bitcoin will not deliver what it promised, because of the high fees and slow transactions. Others don't even know what bitcoin is, and they just came in for the price and are now leaving because it's falling. There are those, that see it's potencial and buy and hold, because they know the time to use bitcoin as a global payment method will come eventually. Are the current holders big enough to keep the price at those levels or above them? I honestly think so. We keep having bad news recently, and the price just keeps above $9k. I think it will be hard to put it lower than that, so I will invest at this price on every opportunity I get.
