Bitcoin has now gone 173 days without a new high.

[hybie22]

we need to have a sense of attitude and patience because there is a set time for bitcoin price increases, the best thing to do today is publishing digital currency around the world.

Bitcoin may not reach another all-time high this year but there are still some positive growth coming in the second half of this year. I think the whole year of 2018 is the accumulation time for bitcoin with some solid growth not the hyped one. After accumulation time, there might another bullrun on 2019 that may lead to another new high. Growth take time so what we need now is patience while waiting for the next bullrun.

there is still plenty of time to reach new high prices this year, anything can still happen within 6 months. if you remember in 2017 bitcoin prices reached the highest price at the end of the year. I'm sure the same thing will happen this year.

In 2017, the maximum was really reached in December, but you forgot to say that the price growth continued throughout the year. It wasn't spontaneous. This year, all 6 months of continued steady decline in prices. By analogy, maybe in December we will reach the minimum? Think about it and don't relax.

What is happening to bitcoins now has happened in the past before and I don't see it as a new phenomenon. I presume the by the start of August of this year, bitcoins will target the price of 10,000 and maybe end the year with an all time high of 22,000 USD.

173 days is nothing if we compare with how long bitcoin survive. keep patience until the end of year, if we keep to buy bitcoin may be in a few months bitcoin will reach a new high. do not doubt about bitcoin because it will increase again soon.

[Febo]

But do you think the the overhype that took it to 20k and its followed drop for the past 6 moths (which caused major disillusions) , will make it more difficult for BTC to reach new highs?

Yes, it'll be much more difficult to reach new high when the previous high is ridiculously high like $20K. Keep in mind that we're reaching $20K because institutional exchanges are opening BTC markets in the US. It's not just about time, I simply don't have any idea what fundamental thing could bring BTC back to $20K and break it.

I dont think $20000 is high price. Yes it is high right now, but not in future. Eventually countries will start buying Bitcoin. Right now rare institutional investors does. There is still long way to go.

thats right. 173 days is still little when compared to the first existence of bitcoin in 2009. bitcoin had always have an increase every single year and for sure it can also increase again this year.  the best thing we can do for now is to keep on hodling and wait until november or december because these months will surely the best months for bitcoin to make a good comeback.

20k is already a high price and we did already earn huge income before bitcoin reach this ath. however 20k is not the highest amount that bitcoin can reach . bitcoin do still have a long way to go.

If you're the true holders, you'll never be affected of this situation, this is good chance to add your bitcoin budget and keep trust on bitcoin. I know that people start to be anxiety with this condition. But we need more patient to hold our bitcoin and make better profit when the people regret because of selling their bitcoin.

[vit05]

How long has Bitcoin been sold at 20k? And what was the volume? I think it was just a momentum. To consider it as an ATH is an exaggeration. What would be shocking is if the price on any day of the year was less than the price of the same day in the previous year.

[PG13]

We are in a different situation and we can't compare today against last year performance as we all know that we are in a stage that regulation has come to take control of this technology. I think investors had taken slowly due to regulations and bad news around crypto. This will take enough time to return the confidence of the investors to invest again. Making to $12k for this year is a good enough for me and we still have time for next year to continue the rally to push the price higher. Be patient always it's a volatile market indeed.

It needs a catalyst for people to buy.

Do you remember a few months ago when Trump pulled out of the Iran deal and some people speculated that there would be a middle east war? Both bitcoin and gold rose in price.

Now that there is no middle east war and even north korea looks safe, both gold and bitcoin have fallen back.

Bitcoin is a safe haven. and when things are going well people don't need it.

"Bitcoin has now gone 173 days without a new high.  Longest streak ever was 1,176 days (from Dec 2013 to Feb 2017)." So I came across this fact on twitter, and checked obviously (always DYOR haha) so what do guys think this says about BTCs current position, or what it does for the much anticipated bull run. We know that Mt. Gox "helped" make that previous streak a reality, and current conditions are not even similar, there is much more awareness and players. But do you think the the overhype that took it to 20k and its followed drop for the past 6 moths (which caused major disillusions) , will make it more difficult for BTC to reach new highs?

 

Noting is difficult for bitcoin as you see the previous record of BTC you may notice that how it have gone to 20K in just limited time. In Year 2017, BTC has done a tremendous job and hopefully it will be doing even more amazing job at the end of this year. At this time BTC is just checking the patience of new traders and junior members like us.

yes that's right,  true holders never be affected on any situation even it is worse . And always keep believing that bitcoin will recover again and will never die. which is always keep buying as well at dip instead of worrying and panicking , that is the true holders "no matter what happens just keep holding!)

[GoldenLad]

Don't be too high on conclusions, besides, 173 days is just too short for you to feel and conclude that nothing will happen or that their won't be hopes in the time being. There have been time in the history of bitcoin whereby the price was stable with a low price and without no single increase for up to a year. Time files and then, it hits $1000k and above. As time goes on, hopefully, there might be an increase.

To me i think that 273 is a big time for bitcoin, that is has not touched a new high, but i think that it will take a some more time, because currently bitcoin price is facing so many issues, which is not letting bitcoin price to increase, i am hopeful that it will now take some time when bitcoin price will set a new all time high price record.

[mahilchii]

Yep. This trend worries me very much as like others and my hope for Bitcoin reaching the new height this year is slowly reducing day by day. I don't know the real reason for the dip in price for past 6 months and to be specific, Bitcoin has reached its highest price of this year of $10k just once and most of the times it is around $7k or 8k range. Whales playing with the price it seems.

Lol. Seriously, you're counting the days? Considering how high the ath is at around 20k, I think we're going to have to wait a lot longer if you're expecting to see another ath or even come close to that. I know there are many people who've been saying this year would see btc to around 35k but I'm keeping it real :p

It is unlikely we are not going to reach a new all time high before that but I keep thinking it is going to take at least a year and maybe even more time to see those prices again, so people need to really prepare for the worst scenario, if you cannot hold your coins for that long then you are probably going to be unable to get any profits in this market.

It seems 193 days now. Soon 200.

It would be way better to search for the date of bottom then for date of next ATH.
