I think the breakthrough of technology in bitcoin will be an option. The launch of lightning network is expected.

Why don't you make your post 3 factors rather than 5 while you know you don't have it. Bitcoins price is not affected by any single action. It derive it price from traders sentiments base on several factors.

I'm trying to figure out 5 factors that may have a crucial impact on Bitcoin in 2018-2019
Already got 3 of them, what should I add in 4,5 ?

1. IPO Bitmain fin. results
2. One of the ETFs approved by SEC
3. China unban cryptocurrency trading
4. ...
5.  ...

Looks like you made just a small research on your part. Let me add another good news for the whole cryptocurrency community. You haven't heard of this right? The South Korean government is keen on developing the infrastructure of a platform economy with a marked focus on blockchain, big data and artificial intelligence.

Bitcoin is fluctuated and decentralized. So, there are no one I mean third party to regulate this currency but there will be some factor which felt impact on it's market price. But it's not easy to find out these factor.

Base on so many ICO that about to build exchangers, there will be so many cryptocurrency exchangers to the  extent that transaction fees will reduce because the business will be competitive.

Ok

For example, regulation. This is important for two reasons.
First, the leading states of the world are not going to introduce a total ban on cryptocurrencies (positive influence, increases the price)
Secondly, large investment funds (with a capital of billions of $$$) are ready to enter the market immediately after it has clear rules of operation. (positive influence, increases the price)

You define this 3 factor which felt impact on BTC in 2018-2019 and want more 2 for complete it with 5. But factor can be changed anytime because anyone can be sure that these factors manipulate bitcoin this sesion

[Gozmoc]

The factors are not complete, are you asking us to list the factors or you're telling us what the factors are.

[jetcrypto]

Just to add more factors which you think are important

[skeletica]

you forget one thing.
what if number 4 is a lot of ICO fraud, I think it also affects the current market price.

[messito]

more global decisions on the type of adoption of bitcoin in retail calculations, accelerate bitcoin itself, reduce transaction costs

[Cecilve]

We need to differentiate if we mean what affects Bitcoin of the price of Bitcoin. You posted thing that may affect it's price, but not Bitcoin itself.

[muncuss]

those factors will only give temporal impact on bitcoin price, like previous events. i think only reward halving will have impact on bitcoin, or bitmex shutdown (only my hope)

Why do you need to find additional two factors? If there are only three factors, let it be. And assuming there are five factors or even more, why don't you search for them on Google? Almost all of the answers that you will get here came from Google.

the first crypto bank in Venezuela, then a high purchase. I think that will be an important factor that can influence volatility in 2018-2019.

[Helex]

the another one main impact on bitcoin is stand of indian government on bitcoin because supreme court hearing in September about regulation on bitcoin.

[Slavyanskiy]

Everything is standard here: 4 this is good news because now there is not enough good news. And 5 Whales that make the weather on the market.

[jossiel]

Bitmain trying to recover their lost to bitcoin cash. 

We shouldn't make that ETF approval a big deal for now, let's expect more of it as deniable requests because it did rejected some a year ago.

I'm no longer expecting that China will unban or if ever they do get back on the market, it will not create a huge impact anymore.

Can't think of an addition for this and next year, I'm thinking of 2020 halving.

Lightning Network and its adoption, are expected to have a positive impact on Bitcoin. we only need it to be used seriously before we can see the next big price surge because it happened. In addition, if some large weapons from industry increase, such as the ICE news that joins the crypto market with their own exchanges can also change the crypto market wave as a whole.
