Finally little fire on bitcoin got ignited

[Fredomago]

The price of bitcoin passes $3700 few minutes earlier but later fell few bucks but still the price bump is considerable.All the crypto currencies were bumping I am not sure what causes this but let the flow keep going don't dump the coins soon guys it looks like we are ready for another 2017 run just gets excited.I think this will act as catalyst to bring the bull run back.

Share positive vibes.

This can really happen and if that so, i would need to buy more bitcoin now. Its good to be optimistic rather that to stress yourselves on havjng negatives on this kind of market. But this is not usually being optimist only, there is also a possibility that this can come true and i know it. Buy now until its cheap.

Chances to run much stronger is always possible as we knew things are unpredictable, this little rise will serve as a wake up calls to those who
are still waiting for another bull to run fast, for sure it will be noticed and we will going to experienced some more good pumped, buy if you
can hold and wait.

Fire is small and looks good for altcoins too, now bitcoin is back down but Litecoin and Binance have a good rise. The movement is small and will bring a little change, hoping to still be able to increase again an unexpected crypto game.

The prices were moving and good to see and hoping to break the $4000 level soon which can create more positive attentions among the investors to invest more and more.

Having positive mindset towards the crypto will helps a lot.

I was happy about yesterday lift that cryptocurrencies market experienced and I read at coindesk that a link interview said ETF will be approved and that might be the reason for the $200 gain we experienced yesterday.  I believe next week it is going to be a new pattern we are going to see.

I said a week or two ago that if bears couldn't dump through the $3,400 area, that the pump to $5K is still on. I think that's where we are now

We have risen measly $200

And now you are saying that we are on our way to 5k. We will be there if we reliably break the 4k resistance and stand there, with it becoming a new major support level. But considering for how long we had been stuck at 3.5k, it doesn't look like a plausible assumption unless there is some major news (positive, naturally) followed by real events that add value to Bitcoin (I don't know what it could be). Obviously, some random comment won't cut it

The daily candle range was closer to $400. And yes I'm saying that, based on a temporary exhaustion of bear momentum and a bullish engulfing on the daily chart with strong volume. I could be wrong; in fact most good traders are wrong a lot of the time. But in my experience, ignoring technical signs like these is just stupid.

$5K was just a general guess and another leg up could easily top lower than that. I'm just looking for a stop run above the $4,200 high to trap bulls. Then we're probably going back down.

We are all wrong most of the time

So no need to make allowance for it as it should be kinda expected and understood. Personally, I base my expectations on pretty simple grounds, that is, there are no strong fundamentals for the price growth now. And to make things clear, I also take into account such things as "bears exhaustion" (read, long-term market sentiment). But we are not there yet. It is not even set in stone that we will ever be

In fact, we are in a completely unchartered territory right now as the market we see today is very different from what we saw in 2015 (read, it is not like we are in 2015). Maybe, what we have been experiencing for the last few months (say, since the fall of 2018) has more to do with speculative interest in cryptocurrencies losing steam big way (you may think of it as a corpse cooling down)

[Adriano2010]

I think that the price of bitcoin will start grow even if will not be a huge grow. In my opinion the price will grow step by step until the bull run will start and i think we can have a new ATH for bitcoin.

What would you consider strong fundamentals for price growth, and how would you measure them?

The way I see it, Bitcoin's price is tied more to speculation than actual fundamentals. What really matters to me is whether buyers or sellers are in control of the market. That's reflected in the charts. There doesn't need to be major fundamental changes for selling to stop or buying to begin.

And to make things clear, I also take into account such things as "bears exhaustion" (read, long-term market sentiment). But we are not there yet.

Buyer and seller exhaustion exists on all time frames. I never said anything about the end of the bear market, in fact I specifically said "temporary exhaustion of bear momentum." There are no signs the bear market is ending yet. I'm just looking for a mid-term countertrend trade.

We still all hoping that year 2017 price of bitcoin will be like this 2019 but many speculation and fud news always around and they said that this year is not enough or ready for next bull run. But I'm still believe that even we can't reach highest price there will be a increase.

Yes, and this is one such fundamental metric

Which I for one consider a genuine fundamental as it actually determines the price (which I came close to explaining in my previous post). It can be summarized as people's interest in Bitcoin. For example, in 2017 people were highly interested in cryptocurrencies (the exact reasons for this interest are not important here)

Today it doesn't look like that anymore, i.e. there is not much interest in cryptocurrencies. So the fundamentals look bleak, which can be seen in pathetic daily volumes over the course of the last couple months

People lossing interest on Bitcoin until this day because the price is too slow, all they need is quick profit they can't wait when it is recover. It's a simple TA's why market remains low. People will showing interest if market is high then if low they leave the market.
But as of now, I don't see any reason why Bitcoin price spike on the market, but let's do hope it will continue raising up.

I don't think that people has losing their interest to Bitcoin. It is just about price fluctation. People has started to interest something else instead of cryptocurrencies just for now. When Bitcoin price will start to rise, then all people will come back. I am sure of it.

But important thing is know when market will recover completely. Someone will earn a lot of money who know the true time.

The most important thing here is a proper understanding of causal relationships

For example, you say (and others say it too) that when Bitcoin price starts to rise, all people will be coming back (and that you are sure of it). This is an example of inferring an incorrect causal relation, which is worth explaining in detail. You assume that people are going to return when Bitcoin rises, but how can it rise if they don't come first?

For Bitcoin to rise, there should be a lot of interest in it but it is not possible without people actually starting buying or using Bitcoin. In other words, it works in exactly reverse order. Basically, you are confusing cause and effect here. People coming back is the cause of prices rising, while Bitcoin rising is the effect of people coming back

i think it's actually both. it works like a feedback loop.

bitcoin might form a bottom and start rising because of increasing adoption or large players accumulating, etc but people obviously also buy because the price is rising. that's why the largest gains happen towards the end of the bull markets, during the parabolic blow off phase, when the media is hyping it everyday. the 2013 bubble was the reason i gravitated to bitcoin.

i've even heard someone make a convincing case that bitcoin acts like a veblen good.

The interest of the people really matters on its price, fluctuation makes the market so beautiful as it  give way to make profit. I know have a lot of bitcoin holders in this forum and yet they are still waiting for the market spike.
A lot of people keep on waiting for the bulls came out but we don't know when it comes, they'll just doubts to invest crypto as if the market continue to dump. They'll not losing their interest with crypto but they'll much get interest when the prices are in uptrend motion.

The fire are slowly fading away again but I still believe for the future up trend. Let’s go for the new ATH this year, keep the fire burning even if the market is dumping again, don’t lose your faith. We know how bicoin moves it price before and it can happen again.

[Upgrade00]

Over the past months, bitcoin has had similar increase in price aftee prolonged stagnancy, but some of those times it fell below its previous support level.
Understanding the chart fir newbies is almost impossible.
Concentrate on the fundamentals of Bitcoin and how high it can go. Do not follow the bait anytime the price rises.

We need a momentum in bitcoin price and not just a pump of 200$ and then again dump of 200$. Litecoin is rising because its halving is near and Bnb is pumping because of the fact that the new ICO at launchpad needs Bnb to buy the tokens.
Anyways it better that bitcoin is staying above 3500$ and i hope it will keep on rising from now onwards.

Obviously, in real life it is way more complicated than that. You should admit that someone has to buy first in order to ignite some fire in the oven, right? But I understand your point. People see Bitcoin rising and start buying in an effort to ride the trend and earn easy money which adds more fuel to the stove. But here's the catch. It is the balance of supply and demand which actually determines the price, and while for some period of growth your assumption makes sense, it may no longer hold when we see what you call "the parabolic blow off phase". In that phase the price is growing not because of demand surging but rather because of the supply running dry

This is where things start getting really complicated
