Bitcoin Price Could Surpass $15,000 This Week: Max Keiser

[bbc.reporter]

Has Max Keiser's week already passed? I reckon that he might be competing versus Tom Lee as the most inaccurate, comical and most hated human bitcoin price predictor in the cryptospace hehehe.

Mainstream media attention that is boring and regular is not the same as mainstream media attention when it was 20k.

I don't know if its the same in every country but for a while in 2017 December peak times there was bitcoin in every news channel in my country, not just newspapers (which all of them gave at least one big headlines about bitcoin during that time) but also news channels talking about bitcoin and having panel of guests who were national experts on finance and some CEO's of crypto related companies here, so basically it was like pure bitcoin era for television and newspapers.

All websites mentioned it as well. That is a lot different than weekly "how is btc doing" type of deal, thats regular now and nobody cares about it, we need that huge mainstream media attention back.

Expectations of $15k is not possible if we wanted to see it this week. In fact as of now my blockfolio was in red signals. Probably this price might take more weeks before it will be reached. More factors really hinder this, but we can't determine yet the reasons behind and all we need is to do is hold.

We are still far away from $15k because the price now still below than $12k although the sign to increase is going to strong. Perhaps, we will see it in this the next month, but we could hope that it will happen in a short time.

We don't know what the real reason for this is, and we could only guess because the market is run without any sign. But I still believe that soon, the bitcoin price will break the high price and will slightly increase to a higher price and it will back to the highest price.

This is the problem with predicting prices. Many "influencers" (paid shills) predict a certain price, create a certain expectation and... the traders/speculators are free to dump.
It could be something like this what happened, or it could not. We'll never know. We just know that predictions should always worth nothing.

[bitgolden]

But the reality, bitcoin is not reaching that price and only moving in below than $12k.

He overestimated the value of bitcoin but the thing is, the price still moved up. He may be wrong with the final price but it did have a bullish trend until yesterday. It is typical of him to overestimate so I was actually expecting the price to be within this range.

Bitcoin started having a bullish trend before he even predicted that, so if he is predicting on a value that is already gaining momentum, then he should better be accurate about the prediction, if there is going to be an excuse why a prediction would not come through, then he better not predict.  I honestly don’t see any point predicting when we know that the market has volatility, and anything could change the value either downtrend or uptrend at any time without announcing.

When I make perdition of any coin, I make people understand that there is a chance that it might increase, which already shows that I am just speculating, but we have some people that speculate like they are so sure of themselves, and then when the time comes and it doesn’t happen, they keep silent over it.

There is the mystery word. "COULD".

Another bullish prediction but in the end, it didn't even went to $13,000. I have enough of this bullish predictions already. I'll just wait for the movement of Bitcoin and will accumulate more base on how I read charts. This is another news hype for Bitcoin but unfortunately, it didn't happened. I think the investors matured a bit regarding news hypes.

You are right. There are always many people that called themselves expert people but they only make some guesses about bitcoin's price. I personally don't pay attention to such people and their predictions.  

Just see the predictions, most of them are saying that bitcoin will reach 14000$ - 15000$ but when it will happen ? No one is telling us this.
The bitcoin moved around 12,000$ and then went back to 11,390$.  There are very few real traders who can perfectly read the charts and predict precisely.

Those who can actually read the price movement will keep quiet.  The reason is that.. they wanted less competition.  The less the people know about the next price, the greater their chance of profits.  Often time those who are too loud about price prediction are just a bunch of person who pretend to know it all and wish people will follow their prediction and actually just trying their luck.  The proof about this is the fact that there are too many prediction that were wrong.

Early Bitcoin investor Max Keiser tweeted today that he foresees Bitcoin price smashing through the $15,000 mark sometime this week amid troubles with centralized government and banking.

Looks like his trick didnt click.
Some do this to increase the value of bitcoin making a lot of ruckus on social media and making people FOMO.
He failed. Had been a week and didnt go that far.
Again the volatile nature of bitcoin wins.
Next time be careful with those manipulators. They do it for them to sell while you are buying.

There is the mystery word. "COULD".

Probability has us able to do anything in theory, especially with Bitcoin which is so volatile it can swing to both directions by the thousands.
    I have to go on what the outlook on the chart reflects right now and it has a negative momentum to it with us below the 8 day moving average.   We lost the daily trend over some months and we've slipped below some Fib levels.
Even after all that you could just take 11,250 as your line in the sand.   If we fail to maintain this price level then it could be taken as a negative overall.  I'd suggest watching this level on a 4hr bar or daily is reasonable.

yes it has and as i have expected... btc has not passed 15k - sideways with a little bit down movement. am i a guru now?  This predictions are to funny, in the end no one knows what will happen... and calling a 3k pump in a week is a bit very optimistic.

I think bitcoin price still hard to reach $15k this month because every time we see bitcoin price reach the highest price, it will get down for a week and although the price can increase, the increase is not much. So I think we will need to wait for long to see the bitcoin price can break every highest price and then we will see $15k later. Maybe we are going to see that price in the next month, but we don't know the truth.

I would like to hear out on what he would say on the current price of Btc? We are heading or going down. Another price prediction or speculation had failed into these popular people. lol

[bbc.reporter]

@milewilda. Someone should make a poll on who is the worst underachieving permabull of the year. Something similar to the Razzies but for the cryptospace hehehe.

they don't care. the point of making these guesses is to just be heard and gain popularity as a so called "bitcoin market expert" (more like self claimed experts though). otherwise they wouldn't have made this many nonsense guesses every day.
the thing about bitcoin is that the short term is never predictable. the only thing we can predict is the long term and for that we can only say "price will rise" by how much and in what time frame is again impossible to predict.

[shield132]

10 days have passed already, where is 15K? Every prediction of these "popular people" is always wrong, I have an impression that all they want is to attract more attention or maybe want to benefit themselves and drop positive seed in overall but seems they always fail and their wrong predictions makes everything even worse. A lot of people on this forum give more accurate predictions than those "popular people" who in reality have no idea where is price going.

[bitbunnny]

Well, current price shows that prediction was completely wrong, as expected. But the problem is that users very often believe in such predictions, like persons who put them public were some kind of Bitcoin prophets. Then the problems appear because they also make their investment decisions on such predictions and at the end they get disappointed. Will they ever learn?

Have you thoroughly checked the historical data of bitcoin once again to see that there was no announcement at any point when bitcoin chooses to surge in value, we just wake up suddenly to see that the price has surged without having any valid reason for it. As you are not seeing this price become visible this month, we might have some financial institutions, or whales or very rich individual that has already set a date this month to buy bitcoin at large and then we see the market situation turning around again.

We cannot categorically say never when it comes to price increase, we just have to keep preparing like tomorrow will be the time or the surge, and then do everything that would make us not to miss the opportunity to buy at the current cheap price if need be.

Too many people get into the situation you say just because they don't have a precise goal, they can't estimate the value of bitcoin, and their psychology is often too greedy, the illusion of value and rich obsession made them very confident in some people's predictions. But perhaps after a long time and so many lessons, they will know that no prediction is completely accurate, information about predictions is just to reinforce our belief in investment, but creating a relaxed mind, not a blind faith, use knowledge to make wise decisions

Lol, my dear, you would not so much blame them, they are all relying on technical analysis that use to be blind sometimes too to this because I believe that when he made that prediction, he must have thoroughly analyses the market using the charts available for him and I guess the chart pointed him to that direction, but I would still not blame him at all, because there was already a clause to his prediction, he already said the it “COULD”, which means that it is under probability that it will rise that week.

The market is just so much volatile that it could really get very difficult to predict, but I believe that something will surely happen that will make the price to surge, maybe we could even be lucky to get the bull run this time around.

True, it is so volatile that we have traded along the range of $3200-$13000 in the last five months or so. But I'm still banking that the Bakkt news will surely bring potential investors in the market. Fresh blood that will boost the price next month, thus continuing this mini bull run we have seen so far. We might not touch new ATH at the end of the year. But it will carry enough momentum in 2020 prior to the halvening, so lets see if those predictions will hit their mark.

oh yeah, could is the analysts favorite word and this is why i have stoped giving to much about analysts... i'm not blaming only max keiser, its always the same about all analysts... stock market, commodities.
but as already said in an earlier post at this topic, max keiser is a permabull. i don't think he does his ta without hopium to the upside...
