How do you see 2019 going for Bitcoin?

[normanz]

I am optimistic that in 2019 the price of cryptocurrency will be able to recover, in Q1 the market is still slow to recover but in Q2 the market will be faster to recover.

[fabiorem]

I have noticed the price is being cut by half each four months, so I think we will visit three digits by the middle of this year.

I dont have any idea how a recovery might happen. There are plenty of good news, projects and innovations. Even the big credit card companies want to enter cryptospace and invest in bitcoin. With all those good news, we should be already back at 6k, but we arent.

ah the timeless art of extrapolation! i won't say it's impossible, but there's a great meme about that:

the current price is the only correct one. good news doesn't automatically translate to higher prices, especially in a bear market. before a reversal can happen, we need sellers to get exhausted and for demand to increase. based on bitcoin's long term bull trend, i think it's just a matter of time.

As of now we are not seen the major improvement in the value of bitcoin and other coins in the crypto market. But lot of investors and lovers of bitcoin are waiting for good days to come in the upcoming weeks of 2019 to enjoy the real profit and celebrate the huge demand and waited mobile which hits highest sale record. It will come back with some unique features.

This economic stall is mostly due to the fact that majority of bubble-centric investors stopped investing in Bitcoin for now. Some of them either sold them all and called it a day while others (the intelligent ones) are able to hold them for the next phase of bull run.

It's kind of a never-ending cycle of trading that is happening and will happen all the time.

Why should there be a major movement in the price? It has gone through a brutal sell-off like 2 months ago, let the market take it easy for a moment. The great thing about a calm market is that people are somewhat forced to look beyond speculation and profits, which is where the fundamentals finally make their appearance.

2019 is the year of the fundamentals, not the price. The price has gone far beyond the fundamentals, and this is the perfect time to catch up on that. Seriously, no coin deserves a pump at this point, and I'm glad that the market isn't doing much right now. Slow/steady growth is all we can ask for, and if we get exactly that, we have done exceptionally well this year.

But lot of investors and lovers of bitcoin are waiting for good days to come in the upcoming weeks of 2019 to enjoy the real profit and celebrate the huge demand and waited mobile which hits highest sale record.

I'm waiting for the day the 'investors' and 'lovers' of Bitcoin you are referring to dump their bags and go back to where they came from.

well, for some reason I'm also so optimistic about this year. I feel that 2019 will really make the cryptocurrency price even higher. in addition, the beginning of the year also began with rising prices for bitcoin and altcoin. it makes optimism even higher.

How to not agree with you guys, we all should be optimists about cryptocurrencies, but who don`t expect fluctuations, roller coaster price is crazy and blind. This year have a great start, at least we are holding over 4,000$ price somehow, its a positive thing. Will we go higher or will we go back where we were is hard to say, time will tell. I will try to stay positive and I hope we will see some higher prices again this year, I doubt in recovery on previous all times high, but why not, I already know that in crypto anything can happen, a lot of us knows that very good, we seen that many times.

[goaldigger]

Well i guess people are in favor of me when it comes on predicting the bitcoin's value in 2018. I suspect it to be more like its value today for the past 2 to 3 months and will go up after. We have suffered one year on red market and im sure that bulls and bears will stop manipulating now and the market will will start to turn green.

[arpon11]

I am bullish in 2019 and from on 1st till now we are having upwards price movement.  I think this year will reward those that invested into bitcoin in 2018 and their investments seems to be in bad shape or loses.  If we actually desiring to make profits in the middle of this year then now should be the right time to invest.  Bitcoin is just a little figure above $4000 and for this first quarter I think it might get to $6000 and the second quarter above $10,000 and as we move towards bitcoin's halving we would see bitcoin above $20,000 in 2020.

[Herbert2020]

while it is possible that price sticks around in $3k-$4k range for a considerable time but i don't think it can last that long like half a year as OP suggests. right now the confidence is still low because of the manipulation and the fear that has created among investors who are waiting on the sideline to enter. but also we should consider the fact that the bear market lasted a very long time for no reason and the last drop was illogical as well since the real bottom was at $6k which was broken purely based on FUD and manipulation due to the BCASH scams.

[BitHodler]

right now the confidence is still low because of the manipulation and the fear that has created among investors who are waiting on the sideline to enter.

What form of manipulation are you referring to? I don't see anything hinting at that. People are easy to label price movements as manipulation when it doesn't play out in their advantage.

In 2017 no one complained about manipulation because people were making money, while people have continuously been doing it last year, and very likely this year as well.

Someone with a bigger wallet moving the price doesn't mean it's manipulation. The lack of liquidity is the main aspect to blame, which explains why OTC trading has been gaining a lot of momentum.

[jademaxsuy]

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.

Well let just stay positive and well keep on watching on the crypto market price movement. 10K USD is relatively good but it would be better if it will go more than that. As we all know that bitcoin has gone more than that in terms of its market price and so does with the other crypto that made an almost 100% increase of its market price.

However, many speculations fail and that includes that biggest failure in speculating for bull run for the late year of 2018. people expected a bull run to happen unfortunately it didn't and it made worst like it was the opposite of bull run which is the bearish market.

[NoviceInvestor]

I predict that 99.9% of predictions for the price of Bitcoin will be wrong, but that there will be no way to identify the 0.1% of predictions that are actually correct.

$ 10,000 is a huge number in a panic economy like now. Fiat money is losing value because of rising inflation, the financial market is being severely degraded because of the trade war, ...
We cannot expect such a strong recovery from bitcoin in just 1 year. I think we need to wait longer than 3 years to get that dream price.

I am very confident if this year the price of bitcoin will recover faster than expected and can attract investors to invest, 2019 is the beginning of the rise of bitcoin.

[Slow death]

I agree, and I will add some things because you said it all

Something that will be difficult to see will be bitcoin reaching $20,000 later this year, so I can say that this will be a year in which the price will be struggling to stay above  $4000, there are many players who want to enter this crypto market and have the decision end of the ETF that we will know in the coming months, but are things that are still difficult to measure the impact that will bring in the price, but at least in this semester we will be struggling to stay above the $4000

May be or may not be, Lets wait for few more days and hope for a positive market there a lot of hope in bakkt launch still anything can happen because crypto is unpredictable. we cannot expect a good value nearly for few more months as it will take sometime.

[bintangkejoraku]

in my opinion the price of bitcoin will tend to be stable this year and I'm not sure whether bitcoin can give a big surprise this year, it will take a long time for bitcoin to recover.

[sunanbonang]

2019 the beginning of the rise of bitcoin? I do not really agree with this, in my opinion the beginning of the rise of bitcoin is 2017. But 2018 can be the beginning of the destruction of Bitcoin because in 2018 there are many ico scams.
