The market looks boring 2019

The market is looking so boring this year

Bakkt launch is a joke.
Bitcoin ETF is becoming political.

On the market prediction side:
Tom Lee is a joke
Arthur Hayes is a joke
Mike Novogratz is a joke
Changpeng Zhao is calm
John McAfee is a psycho
Jamie Dimon is laughing

And we are all panic, no more pretending now
What we all gonna do now? I failed all my goals in 2018 and I don't want to fail this year again.

What is your advice, guys?

I don't think the market is boring this year because from the last December, the market still moving and some of the coins can increase although it's for tested the market itself. I don't panic because I still trying to trade and I see there are many opportunities for me and for every people who can search the coins to buy and sell. This month I want to analyse deeply on every coin at the bittrex and binance because there is a big list of the coins that I can use to make a profit.

market looks boring this year? I don't think so we are just in the first quarter let's just wait, the market will pump anytime without good news coming.

It has been just 19 days of 2019, we should wait a bit before we decide what the 2019 will look like. However if you ask me boring is much better than the chaotic things we had in previous years. One year we started the year with 700 dollars or so and ended with 20 thousand dollar high, which to you may sound amazing, from 700 dollars to 20 thousand dollars looks great on paper however bitcoin and blockchain wasn't prepared for such a big attack and hype so the price was unsustainable and the price went down.

Another year on 2018 we had a year where we went down from 20 thousand dollar levels to 3200 dollars at lowest which means we have dropped a lot and on paper it looks horrible but in reality from start of 2017 to end of 2018 we have moved from 700 to 3200. If you tell anyone that their money will make about x5 profits in 2 years everyone would jump into it.

So, instead of having the middle of 20 thousand and back, how about a boring from 700 to 3200 type of x5 in bitcoin in 2 years ? From today to bitcoin halving, we should aim at being 10-15 thousand dollars without having too much ups and downs, just small ups all the way to there.

In fact, the chaotic things you mentioned were a lot less scary than this "boring" market. Anyone familiar with Bitcoin in particular and trading in general knows that prices don't change slowly and gradually, either way. It is almost always an abrupt rise or fall, totally unexpected most of the time. From this perspective, the longer the market remains boring, the scarier it becomes as it should be clear as day that the next breakout will be cataclysmic, mind-boggling and earth-shattering, with fortunes lost and made

In other words, beware of still waters, silent dogs and boring markets

We are still at the beginning of the year and januariy isn't over yet. why do we interpret that this year will be a boring year?
we don't know what will happen yet. we don't know what will come this year? maybe regulation, who know? it may make bitcoin price pump, isnt it?

Boring is good because it might lead to accumulation which can move price upwards.    Bitcoin is always accused of being excessively volatile so boring to me seems like the start of something good.   I think people got bored in 2015 for example and without realising it we were putting in a bottom.    It always happens when people are not looking or especially excited, when everyone is jumping off their chairs whipped up about just the normal network business proceeding then I start to get a little wary tbh

I'd been there (and here) in 2015

And the market was far from boring back then. In the first months of that year the price had crashed below 200 dollars, then rose to almost 300 and plummeted again to 200 in August. Since September Bitcoin started to rise and reached 400 dollars by the end of the year. The market was never boring back in the day as the price had been changing every other day in the range of 5-10%. Now compare this to what we see now

Apart from that, it is not necessarily an accumulation phase before the surge. It may in fact be a dissipation phase before the purge. Remember how it happened in November last year? We were also in a sideways market for a few months in the 6-7k range, and I guess the market was looking boring to many as well, with people thinking Bitcoin had been gaining momentum before rising to new local highs. It never came to be

Lol. I'd rather have a boring 2019 that see another wild year that's mostly moving downwards 😛 2018 isn't boring. It's anxiety inducing lol. As slow steady movement even just to 8k at the end of the year is enough for me.

It's boring seeing the same reactions to the same markets year after year...   

[normanz]

The main thing you want is profit, so it's natural to think the market is boring because of poor market conditions. I feel the same thing, but I believe the market will recover.

Merits for this big hit, you nailed it! Every year we are seeing same reactions, even thou prices are high, many people from here didn`t see crypto before 2017! Even now with this range of fluctuations I can`t understand how can someone say that crypto market is boring? What is more exciting than this? Maybe gambling, but you can gamble with crypto too, right?
FUDsters will always create fud, we simply need to stop paying attention on them!

It seems you are only focused on bitcoin and while that makes sense since it is the best coin in the market there are many other coins in the market, so if you are not finding anything interesting that is because you are not looking hard enough, expand your horizon and try to look at what it is happening in other coins and you will find enough action to get you entertained, and hopefully profitable, for a long time.

Yes that's reality, more people only focus on one coin and they're not even thinking of picking of those alts that has also great potentials. It made think of Warren Buffet's quote of "don't pull all eggs on one basket" That words means so much so if we will apply that with cryptocurrency, I guess some holders will realize how they've been doing such. Maybe we should find other ways to become profit earner using other ways such us passive income from other crypto coins.

Look at how bitcoin started. Was that boring? It took bitcoin 7 years to rise up to the top. The market is just reigning it in for now, but sooner or later it should rise up again. Just gotta wait for it

Yes it was boring at first because the price started too low and that remains for a verry long time but eventually it got fun after we see its potential  but right now we are now on the boring stage again because the value got stuck and seems stagnant for a while .

when bitcoin is down , other coins follow so theres no point of switching to other since they were also down .  btc also got the highest price and that means this is the only one that is profitable , so why look for other options ?

This point can be easily understood

That is, it is no use (as well as profit, for that matter) looking for other options at this time (and probably at the coming times too). That's okay and that's what most people kind of understand. But it also means that you should use this bear market to disinvest your capital from losing coins (i.e. all coins other than Bitcoin) and use the low prices to invest in Bitcoin. Indeed, it may be worth to keep some part of your trading balance in altcoins purely for speculative purposes, but the majority of your cryptocurrency capital should be invested in Bitcoin. And that's the part people seem to misunderstand

[yugo23]

Indeed if boring means stable for you.

Halving being in 2020 there is no reson to see anything spectacular this year.
Probably a slow and long rise of BTC price for the next months. After we find the real bottom.
I'd say about 3k$.

But it's not boring, it's great! You don't need to see price changes of 30% every week, that's not very good for a market... It attracts speculators and traders but it doesn't fit well with real users.

Keep speculators at bay and bring the users.

[sunanbonang]

so far the market has not shown signs of recovery, and waiting for the market to recover is indeed very boring. it's better not to look at the market for a long time or you will be disappointed.

[deisik]

Indeed if boring means stable for you

The term "stable" is an absolute misnomer here

Since no speculative market can be considered stable by definition, quasi-stable at most. It is so because only real value can truly support prices at a certain level. But in the lack of such (which is the case with cryptocurrencies), no price should be considered stable as it can crash or surge instantly due to purely speculative (read, arbitrary) reasons (e.g. some whale dumping his massive stash of coins)

But it's not boring, it's great! You don't need to see price changes of 30% every week, that's not very good for a market... It attracts speculators and traders but it doesn't fit well with real users

Don't be fooled by this seeming calm as it is the calm before the storm, always

[enhu]

You can't say its a boring year for crypto, the year has just started. If the price right now is somehow getting stable, you can assume there is something that will happen in the coming weeks. I never saw something that could happen to some atlcoin today but certainly there are big development.

Don't be fooled by this seeming calm as it is the calm before the storm, always

Do you mean the price could just dip once again to $2k?
