How do you see 2019 going for Bitcoin?

[thecodebear]

What do you think this year will bring us in terms of price? You can also talk about fundamentals and market adoption to make your case.

I personally see a long bottom perhaps taking the first half of the year, as Wall St slowly enters the market over the course of the year and starts building up momentum in the price as OTC markets get thin on supply and have to buy off exchanges. I think the turnaround will only just get going this year and mostly it'll just be smart money coming in, probably won't see any FOMO happening this year as the general public won't notice Bitcoin again until it breaks through $20k and people not educating in Bitcoin's history realize 2017 wasn't an anomaly. I hope to see LN continue to grow quickly as well and an ETF get accepted by the end of the year. I think we might see $10k at the end of the year, rising from the $3000/$4000s bottom during the second half of the year.

I think this bear market has brain washed many into a stance of : a capitulation bottom, long sideways, then end of the year bull run. What if everyone is wrong and we are at the bottom now, $3k was capitulation and we are going to resume the bull run in the next few months? I have a hard time believing the price action is going to play out like many think, just based on the fact that a large percentage think this is the way its going to happen. Retail drove last bull market, institutions will fuel the next. Be prepared imo.

[romneymoney]

I thought 7.5k was the top of the last bull run and it went to almost 20k
then I called 4k bottom here and it's already been to the low 3's.
At least for me, even building in huge changes I haven't been aggressive enough.
I think the next halving is the real start of the next bull run, but I am kind of at a loss on what to predict between now and then and how high that run may go.

[1Referee]

I'm very conservative. My target for 2019 is breaking $6000 and maintaining it similar to how we did so before that level broke.

2019 will be a great year for those who are looking to average themselves into the market. I usually have a certain part of my main income be sent directly to my savings account, but will use that to buy Bitcoin instead. We won't hover below $4000 for ever, so better utilize current market and buy into people's fear, because once we're starting to go up again people will definitely regret not having bought when they had the chance.

It's only a matter of time before 'is it still a good time to buy at X or Y level?' threads pop up here.

that's a reasonable forecast. i think there's a good chance $3k is close to the bottom and we form an accumulation range around it, much like the $200s in 2015.

whatever happens, i have tempered expectations. i'd be very surprised if we see higher than $10k.

If there will be more interest about bitcoin and possible new investors with big money will come, i think we will have a new all time high for bitcoin and the price can reach 25,000$ in my opinion. Anyway i will still hold what i have and i will get more coins.

In order for new investors to get interested in Bitcoin, those who hold coins now must regain confidence in cryptocurrencies and stop selling them. Only when the price stabilizes, new players will appear on the market, and then we can think about new bull run to ATH.

[talks_cheep]

2019 will see a slow recovery till Oct/Nov/Dec when market will price lock the halving event in middle of 2020. 2020 will be a different story, very exciting, to the moon year!

[wuvdoll]

Expecting first quarter of this year will be a sideways markets. It means we cannot expect anything more than $4300 levels and the second quarter will be the rising market but market may struggle to break $10k levels and the third quarter will be the peak time of this year in which bitcoin may value up to $15k and the last quarter will be again a sideways markets.

This year may have,
high : $15,000 (the fair value of bitcoins)
low : $3300 (a slight down from the current level)
Close : $12k to $10k (downfall from high levels)

By considering the positive news which are going to happen this year and how intensively those news will attract new investors are the core factors being considered for this speculation. All levels are subject to +/- 5% approximations.

Investors are just waiting for the market to calm down, and maybe they will come again if they see some growth and if the ETF is approve by SEC. 2019 might be another tough year for cryptocurrency, but I'm still confident that it can still bring a good price for us. Continue to hold and have more patience, if the price ends on a high note at the first quarter of 2019, expect that it will continue until we end this year.

[Jating]

Just like what others have said, it could either to North or South.

Of course as crypto trader/investors we wanted to see the price going North however the market is really hard to predict. There are 2 important events that may help the market grow again though, BAKKT and Bitcoin ETF, if one of them gets approved then I'm sure we can see some massive growth this year. So let's see how this year pans out.

You are a crack smoker. Let's call 2019 a good year if it doesn't see 1500 and see's $6k again.

I just want to forget about the bitcoin price and stop tracking it all the time.
The only thing I wanna focus is just getting more bitcoins.I'm not going to wait a price pump day after day,because it's kinda frustrating.It's wrong to be have big expectations about the bitcoin price going to increase 3-4 times in one year.

[pooya87]

i don't know what "Wall Street" has anything to do with bitcoin and its price rise this year but i still believe that bitcoin is underpriced and in a reverse bubble and that means the price doesn't have much room left to go any lower. as a result there is only rise to come. however it doesn't stop another wave of manipulation but without that i can see bitcoin rising back up in the first quarter of 2019 and by the end of the year we will already be in a bull run.

[akinechan]

Bitcoin prices in 2019 I think this will be a good start for the new year to the green market because some investors will place shares there and cryptocurrency will dominate good teamwork in terms of jobs on the blockchain that can be put together in programs that will last as a value good price

2019 and 2020 will be similar to 2015 and 2016. Calm years with minor ups and downs, I don`t expect much from next two years in terms of price.

Expecting first quarter of this year will be a sideways markets. It means we cannot expect anything more than $4300 levels and the second quarter will be the rising market but market may struggle to break $10k levels and the third quarter will be the peak time of this year in which bitcoin may value up to $15k and the last quarter will be again a sideways markets.

This is funny, I think that 15k dollars is too high prediction too. But I will go with you on your prediction for the next year, it will be great if we don`t drop more and see some nice little rise to 6k dollars, that`s reasonable and fair. You can never be sure with bitcoin price, I learned my school long time ago. We are already in 2019, day by day we will see and feel everything that 2019 have for us.

Still not new happening wit the prices,just moving in the side ways in the particular range but coin like ethereum was having some good movement so yes this is the good start hope to see very good year ahead.

At this time ethereum prices are indeed so high, in contrast to the price of bitcoin which is in a fairly stable situation. I am sure that in 2019 we can achieve a much better digital currency market situation. Bitcoin and Ethereum will be together to become a power in the financial system in the world.

Great post!
My thoughts exactly. We’ll break $4,000 before too long and stay in the $4,000 - $6,000 range for most of 2019 I think.

Now is 100% a good time to buy!

[cryptomax217]

looking forward to break $5000.  that's safe for me.
