This year, market movements have confused me, and I don't expect too much for this year. This year I can only be patient to hold on and I don't want to take the risk of selling it, maybe in 2019 bitcoin will have the opportunity to raise prices.
2019 could be a decent year but I believe it will be last months of 2019 that we need to look out for. The price will definitely go up during the 2020 halving and if I am not wrong that will be during the may month. Now if the halving will happen during the may that means during the last months of 2019 we will start to see people getting more and more bitcoins, just saving up for the inevitable rise of the price.
Right now there doesn't seem to be any reason for bitcoin to go up, not right now and not in 2019 neither but when the summer comes there will be more people into bitcoin and during the last months those people and us will start to collect as much as we can to get the chance to sell after the halving when miners will stop selling for cheap and the price will go up.
