Will the Bull Market Return in 2018? What's Your Prediction?

[peter.from.penn]

Since I have been trading, every correction has been followed by new all time highs for most cryptocurrencies.  If this trend continues, many of us trading today will become wealthy.  On the other hand, given the growing trend of new government regulations, this may be the beginning of a long winter.  Where do you think we're headed in 2018?

if you rely on uptrend to make profit while trading then you are doing it wrong. a simple long term investors needs an uptrend to make profit, a trader needs market movement and it doesn't matter in which direction you just have to adjust your strategy based on the new trend of the market, that's all.

On the other hand, given the growing trend of new government regulations, this may be the beginning of a long winter.

winter?!!!
and who cares about some government regulation FUD in the media!

Your guess is as good as mine, no one knows what's going on in Crypto and of course, that's just how it's going to be. Like any other market, crypto is volatile (on a more mass scale then traditional markets) and unpredicatable; the market could go up one day and then go down the next, with little to no reasoning behind it.

This is one of the reasons I hate these sorts of threads, because there is nothing of any substance in them. People are either shilling or FUDing coins that they own or hate.

WHO KNOWS.

[Andrey123]

No one knows.
Any event that can occur at any time can transform the markets!
We can only observe and act when it is necessary.

[sweetbet]

25 March at 5:23PM is my prediction. No seriously, I think it will be late March or early April.

I'm agree , they just make it up so that they can buy it in deeper!
nasty politics!
they know they can't control blockchain as they couldn't control information globalization!

[cheezcarls]

I think we are seeing a mini-bull run this week, as it now rises from $9,400 to $10,700 today. I think it will stabilize between $11,000 to $11,500 by the end of this week.

As March comes, I expect that there will be more whales going to buy Bitcoin and other altcoins during this time. I believe this is the start for us to see the price increase of most cryptocurrencies.

This is what we need in reality. Only trust and faith in our own strategy. The bubble will be created all along by the media and they will never keep them shut as it is what makes there TRP grow really. So speaking about the media and FUD it's completely different matter and we as investor should ignore it.

Oh and please trust this we are listening this bubble thing since the 2010 I guess and still it is a big bubble now, that's really funny.

Where do you think we're headed in 2018? 

And many of them will fall from the FUD's and false pumps created by so-called banks and media's to manipulate the people who are new and weak through trading, the cycle of this scenario will continue as long as people bite their baits towards some pumping altcoins and tokens, not just to fall from this kinds of tricks but the worst is they have been scammed, we are headed where a tons of altcoins and projects just throwing out to scam people and also the established coins will have a greater prices.

We have seen this a lot of times that when there is a huge price correction, there is a great chance that the market will hit a new all time high and vise versa. This happens because there are many people that are entering the market when the price drastically go down and that is called hype. But the thing is we can't say when it will happen again since no one can predict what will happen to cryptocurrency market in the future, and it doesn't mean that when the market crashes it will immediately recover in short period of time (but still possible). This might not happen but I think Bitcoin will have a new all time high this year.

Can you explain  me in a few step how to day trade ?

[slothboy]

Ethereum will overtake Bitcoin to become largest market cap!

This is more of a tending to happen thing rather than an assured trend as periods after corrections have been know to be typically bullish in most cases. Bitcoin going on a bullish run is on the cards as the correction period seems to have lasted a bit too long.

On the other hand, given the growing trend of new government regulations, this may be the beginning of a long winter.

This has been a constant hindrance to cryptocurrencies' growth over the past few years and governments don't seem to be backing down either as continued attempts to regulate cryptos has barely bore any fruit. Yet, it does not stop them from being stubborn and further ploys continue to play an indirect influence on the price, negatively.

History has a habit of repeating itself. However, the pattern of prices after the recurrence of history, make their own adjustments. That's why most likely this year, we will not see last year trends repetition. The only thing I do not doubt is that the price of bitcoin this year will update the historical maximum.
I think altcoins also will bull run, but not like last year.

[bingble]

No one can predict the feature, the history will not repeat all the same, there are opportunities with the risks.

Take care of your money, make good balance of risk and profit.

So take the example Ethereum, i predict it can reach $2K USD at end of year.
Not so speculative, and yah Maybe regulations and adjustment can make the price stable and people dont have much risk when decide to invest in Bitcoin or Altcoin.

[dothebeats]

With the way the things are going right now, there is a high possibility that this year would be nothing than push and pull actions from both sides (bulls and bears). Looking at the recent news, even with the numerous positive things bitcoin had been receiving, the price isn't really pushing significantly unlike in 2017 when a small news would take the price into massive gains. This might be a passive year, sure, but then again bitcoin never fails to disappoint.

-snip=given the growing trend of new government regulations, this may be the beginning of a long winter.

I beg to differ, since having some clear regulations about the matter could certainly pull doubting people into the game, especially those who trusts the government so much. Regulations mean confidence from the not-so-confident peers and it could potentially trigger them to buy not only because of the gains but also because of the government chiming in to the crypto talks.

Day trading is not a simple work it is very difficult because many experts also failed in sometimes so don't try day trading. If you want to start trading you should analyse crypto strategy it is basic knowledge of trading. But don't do day trading this is always affected to traders if you want to make loss in your investment you should try this else just change your attitude then investment in long term.

A bull market similar to what happened in the previous year is extremely unlikely, this is probably a year of transition which means that if you want to obtain profits you will need to become more a trader than a holder, this can be good if you are able to take advantage of the opportunity or it can be bad if you have no skills in trading, and if you do not have those skills, get them since those skills can help even a holder to decide when it is the best time to buy or sell his holdings.

I don't exactly see it as a hindrance although government regulations has made the price go down a bit in the past. This doesn't stop investors from buying in crypto and there is still support even though government regulations will be made. Governments may try all they want to control crypto and impose regulations as much as they want but people will still continue to use their cryptos and find a way around it.
