a factor that will make bitcoin recover

[Ararbermas]

Actually stable or massive demand and supply in the market is the real key for bitcoin to recover,  but unfortunately it's impossible to happen because more people nowadays always complain and spreading false information which is really affect in bitcoin value. And probably this scenario will always happen in the future  and there's no chances for great and stable growth rate IMO because of some factors as well that always suddenly exist.

the first bitcoin can have a high price because the market demand for bitcoin is very high one reason is because bitcoin is becoming popular and is starting to be accepted by the global market, the growth of crypto activists is very high even bitcoin is becoming a new trend among global society and hence crypto value is soaring but now bitcoin has begun to lose its appeal especially there are many coin competitors that will distract investors from bitcoin not to mention because the spread of bitcoin is increasing along with the increasing number of bitcoin inventories generated from the blockchain system and of course it will greatly affect prices because bitcoin loses value he added rather than other coins, namely "scarcity of supply"
then the question is what will make bitcoin recover and can have high prices again?

This is just my opinion, I guess the thing that will make the bitcoin recover again is a set of good ICO's in the market, in this case, if these ICOS will just allow payment through bitcoin, the bitcoin will have a huge demand to reach ATH again.

Bitcoin has lost the trust of many people. Many of the crypto currency projects failed. New and powerful projects are a must for Bitcoin to grow again. In this way the demand increases again and the Bitcoin is strengthened.

Yes, of course this is one way to increase the value of bitcoin, that is by having a new, stronger project, so that in that way bitcoin will slowly recover and become strong again.

Actually coins condition depend how good people trust and developer promotion. Trust can make supply and demand keep running, promotion will help create new users. Every opinion we see is only prediction and that's can be true or false because market can't predictable. Most people will leave red market but people with better knowledge will take part into bitcoin market with wise calculation.

The most likely factor that will see an increase in Bitcoin is a flood of new investment into crypto, and for this Bitcoin is still the dominant coin and will be the first place that any new money seeks as an investment. Recent regulation has seen a greater acceptance and this coupled with mainstream investment interest will be the probable catalyst for the next bull phase.

I also think bitcoin represents a very good alternative in finance,  personal finance,  investment and trading!  The demand for Bitcoin presently is nothing compare to what it will be in future.  Bitcoin will keep developing and growing and this will bring more resources to bitcoin!

I don't think bitcoin has lost the trust of many people, and I am sure there is many more still trust bitcoin because they learn from the history. People only lost their faith in bitcoin because they are losing their money now and most of them are the new investor in 2017. They are attracting into bitcoin because they think that bitcoin is a fast way to get huge money but they wrong, they don't think about the fluctuating of the bitcoin price. And if they can be patient for a while, I am sure they will not lose their trust in bitcoin.

the influence of the request and also the technology of crypto is increasingly accepted by the market will be the things that make crypto included here could rise. bitcoin a lot of time playing in the more secure as holding off on filing a demand and supply on the market. This is what makes the market became quiet and is even less likely to come down.

One thing I believe will help BTC recover is the institutional investors. Back in january when BTC was at its $20,000 peak instititional investors were paying almost 2-1 for BTC the reason being is crypto is so volitile.  So pretty much they paid double due to  risk and crashes that if they sell they have basically covered theirselves with insurance..  so basically  much of the investors in late December and early January were paying $35,000-$40,000 per 1 BTC. Crypto must rise again, to much money was invested by major investors. Everyone that paid that price did not sell at 3k I can promise you that!

[hanxinvwang]

I have a very extreme idea.
I think if Bitcoin wants to recover and get the best development, then it will need a lot of altcoin deaths because they will absorb bitcoin investors and money.

[emezh10]

Bitcoin price recovery is very simple, only the ETF needs to pass immediately. This will cause Bitcoin to increase by up to 50% or 100% overnight! Although I am not very optimistic now, I think this is the best way.

Factors that will make Bitcoin recover is dependent on the market supply and demand come 2019,  with the near ending market activities for 2018 which is still very volatile, consumers are still on wait and see status. Some are holding on for their coin investment, But once the market correct itselft after ther recent drops, i am optimistic that it will be a favorable market activities again come 2019.

[antsam]

regulation and positive news will make bitcoin prices recover and return to high prices. But even when I think this position is a correction of prices that always occur in the crypto market which will recover and go towards the highest price point

[Svelto]

IMO, mass adoption will help to drive Bitcoin price higher. As long as the demand exceeds supply, we are able to see Bitcoin soar again. However mass adoption takes time and trust from the new users, it is not going to be easy if we keep seeing fuds around.

[jeremyscott]

more buyers.. minimize selling.. it's gradually going up.

[Kezacky]

maybe only big investors can increase the value of bitcoin again, even though bitcoin per second always runs but does not increase its value at once. it's just that when big investors start investing with bitcoin back on a large scale, there is a possibility that price changes in bitcoin can rise again.

The only way to get back the value of Bitcoin is to invest more and withdraw less this will be the reason for value of if the investors withdrawing their investment frequently the value will definitely going to down so this will be the way to get back the old power of Bitcoin

[timberfox]

I thought it is obvious. Big players greatly influence the price of BTC. And they can lower or raise the price at will.
Sooner or later the price will start to grow. After that, new smaller investors will come. The popularity of BTC and cryptocurrency in general will begin to grow.
The market will begin to recover.

[marcitosi]

I am sure that in 2019 everything will fall back into place and Bitcoin will be able to recover its price

[dimonarka]

I think this issue will be solved when the ordering countries accept cryptocurrency in their economies and legally formalize it. I hope it will be already from the new year

[nelson4lov]

OP seems to be confused. I don't really get the idea  behind the "factor" he's talking about. The crypto market, like other markets, has times things to go high and other times where it'll correct resulting to a loss in value. So for now, the prices are low but It'll pick up sooner or later like other assets. Most people are saying the next bull run will be fueled by the bitcoin halving or upcoming bakkt launch.
