Why does Bitcoin seem to always rally in December?

[demenBTC]

maybe December became a special month as a bonus to buy at a low price and everyone hopes that the beginning of the year will be a fantastic price, this is just the prediction of everyone who doesn't necessarily happen

[adzino]

My theory is that people buy it as holiday gifts.

Amuses me how stupid people can be. When price falls during the end of the year, people are like "oh they arae just cashing out their profit for Christmas" and some other weird stuffs. When it starts to rise, now you guys are saying "people buying it as holiday gift", like for real?
The fall and rise has nothing to do with holidays. Just read a bit more before posting something and making yourself look like an idiot.

I guess BTC is showing courtesy on the Investors as Christmas and new-year is near to us   kidding anyways. May be some big Investors would have invested a huge amount and demand may be higher? However, happy to see the changes atleast by the end of this year.

By this time next week bitcoins value could be back to 3k.

This is what I am thinking too.

[Peashooter]

yes, every year some people choose to sell BTC for Christmas and holiday gifts, they make the BTC market fall.

I think, this becomes an activity every year, and can't be avoided, and at the end of this year, I predict that 60% of crypto users choose to hold their assets.

I do not consider that they sell their bitcoin to fall the market. Can you tell what happen last year, you can clearly see that the price of bitcoin last year in the month of December is very high and it reach $20000 so I think they do not want to fall the bitcoin they want to rise it.

Bitcoin is a gift of the satoshi for us that with this currency we can start a good business at home and those who are good in the IT sector they can make more money with it while for those who are against of the crypto they have no reasons to explain that what will do by the unemployed people in this present time where expenses are unbearable and we have a limited resources for survival.

Well end of december is when it started to drop though.  Mid december was the peak but during the holidays, the value was slowly correcting. And while we're still just around the 4k point, i still wouldn't consider this a run. But quite relieved none the less to be distancing from the 3k level.

Bitcoin is a Crypto currency, which is acceptable in many countries, the current price of falling has been a very low than 2017 December price, nevertheless the current price is very good to invest for a short period of time appreciated in value for future use.

It simply base on the demand for BTC, December is a festive and holiday period, investors usually convert there BTC  into fiat, therefore demand is on the high side that tends to lead to an increase in price.

Personally, I do not think it seems to be a rally this december, Bitcoin in this month drops very low and we did not do a rally about it. Currenctly this week it is increasing a little bit, hopefully it will recover soon or if possible before this month end. We just need to wait and see what will happen in the next days, weeks and months if the price of it will fully recover.

Well don't so very exciting for this little bit price increase Just monitor and calm down
It's normal for bitcoin price increase in holiday season because people some people they their bonuses
So some of them decides to buy bitcoin investment

[Woolles890]

It has become a habit at the end of the year, December of the end of the year and many make it a holiday month. For this reason, investors change bitcoin with fiat for their needs and moments to throw it away.

I do not think people tend to sell their crypto on the special occusations unless they have no fiat and no other options but to convert bitcoin to fiat. Most people are holding bitcoin for investment and trading purpose, so they would care more about their business rather than just cashing out from there.

[teejayrichard2]

the thing is most people need money during december to buy gifts for families they have not visited a long time and as such tend to sell off their bitcoin so as to raise enough cash to enjoy the christmas holiday in december

[thankyoulord]

every december, bitcoin rallies because people tend to raise money to celebrate christmas and new year and thus sell off their assets so as to raise money which they can use to buy gifts for friends and loved ones they have not seen a very long time. when they come back from the december holiday, they look for what to put their money into

This december is exception because the price fall. I dont think every december bitcoin price always rally because there is no proof of it. People buying right now because they think bitcoin at cheap price

No, I think investors will continue to maintain their investment because many investors have prepared ways to deal with difficult things like now. I am sure they already have spare money for a vacation at the end of this year without having to change bitcoin to fiat.

[meanwords]

The only explanation that I could come up is that people have a lot of money to spend on holidays like this and some investors use their hard earned money throughout the year to invest in cryptocurrency. Others are just blindly hopping in the train.

I cannot see the theory of your going for the bitcoin up rally in december, because as you are telling according to it then the price should go up as every one wants to fiat currency to enjoy the christmas and new year, so for that they have to sell, if everyone will sell then automatically price will come down , it wont go up.

This price going up of btc is not known by anyone whether it is a trap or it is the starting of bull run no one knows it.

[RajaRatnam]

There is no fixed pattern. Its just a coincidence.
You can not predict a rally..
