Bitcoin Bearish short term but Bullish long term

[el kaka22]

As long as the outlook seems bullish there is really no reason to fear the bears if they happen, we have hit as much as 11.8k I think on this recent rally and now we are back under 10.5 already which is basically a short term bear like you mentioned however as long as that is the limit we fall into and not under 10k I fear nothing since it is easy for bitcoin to increase 10%+ and when it is high price that it falls like 10.5k for example that means we can reach to 12k or even above next time we rally high, however when it goes under 10k when we rally we stay under 12k, that is why it is important where it will bottom out, if it is over 10k then we gonna break a good wall, if it is under 10k then same thing will keep on happening time after time until it is broken.

We should look at the bigger picture here, what we have seen is just a minor correction, that what's been happening since we made a run from April-Aug. There will be times that we thought that the bears has taken over the market again. And the next thing we know, the bulls are back and people started to FOMO again. So I would not be surprise to see roller coaster ride and then investors taking the opportunity for every dip to fatten their wallet.

[Yamifoud]

Like it did for several times, price fluctuations seem to be uncontrollable. Will not be a surprise as to be in a roller coaster and this market twist is helping ti make more gains. Some of us are looking for the bear season for them to buy more coins while the others are waiting for the market to rise up to sell their cryptos. This is what it makes the market going up and down, and there is no need to wonder and makes some complaint.

Keep your heart and your wallet bigger because price has moving nature so when it falls you will have to show how much your heart is stronger and when the price Will be high it will give you chance to full your wallet . Market rise and fall does not have fixed time any time price can change just be calm. And wait.

Investing in cryptocurrency is really for the people that have a very strong heart really because if you dint have, many people will just be falling sick when they see the price of bitcoin grow today, and by the time they wake up next day, they see that it has declined, and they will be filled with regret of not taking action, but as someone who is strong like you want them to be, they will only try to spot out their own mistakes from it and understand that it could happen at any time and to anyone because of the volatility of the market.

Most investors just need to make sure that they invest in coins that will not go out of function in future, once a project is still active, volatility would not be much of a problem because the volatility will not be there forever.

Agreed, and the market here is for all the people without any form of discrimination. Even an user who can afford few dollars can be an investor of bitcoin. Volatility will be throughout, and the big investors were the one who suffers with massive drop in the portfolio value in a short time period. This way I believe in holding unlike the volume of investment for long term.

Long term is for sure and I will vouch for that. Aint history already the proof of it?
Some of us here might have bought at $300 and now are still in hold because they know they can make more profit than risking it in an exchange.

[fenixosup]

Today is a perfect day for bulls after recent 300 dollars drop

[Reid]

How much time in long term?

I know it will happen though but since I have been monitoring bitcoin I would not want to be left behind.
They have been making more bitcoin while I am just holding.

From now on, I want to buy and sell to increase the number of bitcoin that I have.

This is true that bitcoin has a cyclical market and it is very obvious that it has a long term Bull Run. Short term loses are always there and this happens due to volatility of the coin. This being said, invest in the coins if you are able to own the coin at the current price. See if you can own it below $10k. Analysts are of the view that Bitcoin will not drop below $7k now.

I am not even sure that the chances of bitcoin dropping even below $9000 is even there for now till further notice, although there is possibility of it dipping that low in future, maybe when the market crosses over to the new peak again, having a record of another new all-time high, then the market may drop to another bear market when everyone tends to cash out, maybe then, we can say there would be another great opportunity to re-invest at a value less than that again which we still cannot completely predict.

The future of bitcoin is only known to God and we can only prepare to the best of our knowledge and capacity for the future, no one knows if there would just be an agreement by all the country’s leader to accept a single currency, ten bitcoin would be the solution to it.

I'd say short term neutral, long term bullish.


Right now the price is bouncing off the 100 day Moving Average. This support line acted as the floor for the entire last bull cycle. Earlier in the bull market (like now) sometimes the price would hang around it for a bit, later in the bull market, during the exponential expansion of 2017 it would just come back at touch the 100d MA and then bounce straight back up. That support line is right at 9900 or just under it as i type this. Twice in the past week it has hit it. After two months of correcting from the June surge bitcoin is back to its basic support.

I don't know how long it'll stay around the support, it could be days, it could be weeks or more. But going lower from here is very unlikely as there is no reason to believe that the bull market will suddenly stop just after it started. This looks like early 2016 right now, the price having finished its early bull cycle expansion, now consolidating for a while to start the second phase of the bull market. The price chart looks healthy and great, with bitcoin riding along support. I wouldn't be surprised if bitcoin rises off support in the next few weeks which would make this the last time we see 10,000s.

So I'd say: next month neutral to slight bull, next 6 months bullish as the bull market progresses to its midpoint.

I prefer looking at the 20-week EMA. It seems more reliable looking at the 2016-2017 bull market. I think 2016 is a good parallel for where we are today. You can see some nice wicking below the 20 EMA (currently around $9,000) in April and August 2016 so maybe lower prices aren't off the table yet:

But when you zoom out into the monthly candles something interesting reveals- Market seems to be mimicking the 2017 bull nd crash. Nevertheless, I'm happy about this current ranging that the market is experiencing. It helps with swing trading.

With Bakkt launching in September 23? I don't think there's enough time to be bearish. That's how many days left? Thirty days? I'm sure if Bitcoin dumps strongly anytime, it would quickly be bought up leaving a lot of buyers with no time for cheaper bitcoins.

I think fluctuation usually not controlled, isnt it? I mean changes in prices do move very quickly up and down when fluctuations occur. but right now the market is not that bad right? prices are still stable in the range of $10k. the worst may only fall a few percent and not fall below $9k.

I don't think Bakkt deserves that kind of praise. It hasn't done anything yet to consider it a fundamentally important development for Bitcoin.

I personally don't like the fact that we're continuously going back to the $9xxx levels, which if you do it a few times too many, we'll confidently break it to the downside. People then will blame Bakkt for having failed because the price didn't go up, while in reality the price movements we're seeing aren't related to Bakkt at all.

On top of that, Bakkt has likely bought enough coins to serve their clients, so there isn't really a need for them to add more to their position unless they run out, which I don't expect.

i agree, $10k isnt going to hold. i think we see $8k before $13k. whales are painting a picture of a solid $10k nice psychologically perfect round number bottom. nope, way too obvious for those that have been around awhile. they would have been better using the $9k area as to pretend there is resistance at $10k. those who are buying now will get tested by a shakeout.

[Arkann]

Unambiguously, all the expectations of the bear and bull markets are associated only with increasing their money.  But it seems to me that we should think more about the real future for the entire cryptocurrency, in order to concentrate all investor funds in the most promising projects, and stop supporting those moments that today have practically no value, and are supported only by speculators on exchanges.

Last in 2017 it was great year for all investors almost everyone won profit from market for selling. In 2018 price become down and it is an excellent chance for the investor to buy some coins at low price now again in 2019 I can see gradually market is moving towards the tract and getting high i am sure till end of 2019 market Will be fully recovered

Of course, it would since we are done already at the bearish season and it's the right time now for the bullish season. We were still so lucky to have a price of $10,000 it's not that bad compared to the times when Bitcoin was in a super-duper low dip that almost hit $3,000. Lucky for us the market changes its pace real quick this year.

Even short term the price can be argued to be bullish still.   We are elevated and maintaining that position for the moment.    We are above the 200 day average but below the 50 day.     I think we go sideways to down but the negative case has yet to be proved and if we keep current pricing it will eventually rise again I think.    Many speculate on news positive and negative events that might trigger a position change but so far its only moved out of a regular rise but not to any trend beyond that.   Hence we're in a speculative phase, I cant call it bearish just yet and being in the 10k region has to be considered very positive by any view.

Someone just tried very hard to force a technical breakout on the daily open. I was watching the charts and it looked like one entity market bought at least 2K BTC on Coinbase Pro. They seemed determined to push the market up until the local high from August 23rd was broken, painting a higher high on the chart:



I hate when people try to push the market around like this. It can lead to days and days of chop. We're still a long ways away from a true technical breakout. The mid term downtrend line stands around $11,200 and the pivot to break is $12,320.
