What are the real reasons of recent BTC rally?

[target]

There is no war. The bears just got tired so they now rest and allow the bulls to set phase which is why there had been spikes in the past weeks. I think this is because they know the supply will drop and that the investors are going to try to buy more before halving.

Altcoins created since 2018 are also pumping, we accused them of scam but I just notice some coins that volumes were close to nothing not goes up suddenly to $14k in a day.

[blckhawk]

As we cannot say for sure, it seems to me to be just another manipulation by some of the large players in the market. This might be because of the halving nearing us, which might be their main driving factor in rallying the price up. Though don't be too confident, as these players might dump it once more, once the investors shown some FOMO on the prices.

[ethereumhunter]

Maybe we don't know what the real reason for the bitcoin price rally is, but we are going to see the halving time is coming. Maybe that is not the reason, but I think that could be possible for bitcoin price. Before the halving, the price is below $10k, so that the price needs to increase more than $10k first, and then the price will jump to a higher rate. But let's wait for what will happen in the next months before the halving comes.

[piebeyb]

the right reason and many people in this forum know is that we are approaching bitcoin halving, if not mistaken precisely in May 2020, so they assume that every 4 year cycle often occurs where bitcoin prices often increase before and after halving, but there are other factors if in the analysis it might be because we are entering a weekly trend if prices don't go below $ 7600 until the next week

[sana54210]

Yeah, I feel like "enough is enough" thing was one of the reasons as well, not like it is definitely the reason but I am sure it played a role in it as well.

Surely this Iran thing first played a role when it started out, then the halving is in the minds of everyone as well, craig situation helped with the second spike after it got stuck for a while, if we have something on top of this in the upcoming week, I am pretty sure we will move towards over $10k for sure, we just need bitcoin to be pushed a little bit, it doesn't really go that way unless its really pushed towards it, I know its tough to always keep forcing having some sort of news about bitcoin and whats going on but without any news, without any hype, bitcoin would just stay in the same price for months (which it has before).

Every four year have halving time for bitcoin where give effect to make bitcoin growing up to higher price, we are waiting two months later will bitcoin can do it what happen last four year when bitcoin back to higher price or not, just my ideas bitcoin will back to higher price again and give much profit for many investor.

so far that might be one of the reasons, many people on this forum talk about halving which can make prices rise very high, so it's likely that many people do FUD.
other than that the market was already bored with the previous year which was bearish, and the positive trend came at the beginning of the year so it was like a bullish sign ahead of halving.

[Mihaylovic]

Bitcoin is up about 22% in the first 15 days of 2020, notching its best start-of-year surge since 2012, The Wall Street Journal first reported. We expect institutional interest to drive prices higher throughout the year. Altcoins have also soared!

But I want to hear from the senior members what can be the reasons for increasing the Bitcoin price? How the market sentiment is working now? Will it increase more?

i think it is because of the demand. i mean since halving is on the way, many investors think that bitcoin price is going to increase beacuse of the affect of halving. I also believe that prices below 7k usd is very lowly possible in short mid term.

[yulionoo]

of course what causes bitcoin prices to increase is the increase in demand. and in my opinion the rising demand for bitcoin is influenced by several things:
1. The conflict between Iran and America earlier this year caused some investors to shift their assets to Bitcoin.
2. maybe the current increase is the manipulation of the popes.
3. The current increase is the effect of bitcoin being reduced by half in May. bitcoin is reduced by half encouraging new and old investors to buy bitcoin.

The pump is low when Iran and US war erupted  so I think it doesn't contribute on the hype since it doesn't give any strong movements on bitcoins and the one reason I think for the current pump is the halving since the hype is starting to grow up specially when people saw the slowly rise of the price and provably we can see more coming in these coming days.

yes I know that, but many people come to this forum that history will not be repeated and think it is ridiculous about the cycle every 4 years, I wonder if it will happen for the third time, if that happens then the luck belongs to those people who still holding it in the wallet

like what I think people who don't believe in this cycle are trying to make a mess since yesterday, if they want the price of bitcoin to go down it seems like their lives are just throwing money away, just look at 2018 and 2019 is the year when the bear market is in power, they want 2020 and 2021 to be the bear market, then why would people invest in bitcoin and crypto if the market continues to be a bear market, if indeed the cycle does not want to be repeated the bitcoin price since 2018 and 2019 should not be a bear market, charts should change but not at all, it is clearly similar to 2014 and 2015 bear market, it seems like people have started to be pushed behind us to take bitcoin on the exchange soon

Haven't surprise that it sometimes will go like that, off and On.
May the pumps we experience isn't all about halving, Iran and US war but it is the time that the market support level had an increase. The demand is getting high and it seems to see that the price will also move high. But it is quite interesting to see and possibly more highs will come when halving has done.

[Dart18]

It is the normal thing which happens with the bitcoin price.
Expect more from it.

Halving is just months away and people are getting FOMO's.
It could be that something is circulating around social media and then add the telegram groups who are making different assumptions.
We wont see records in different exchanges at the same time so you may want to rely on your own prediction.

If they believe that accumulating today will give them the profit that they want after the halving right away then I don't think they have learned their lesson from the past. Bitcoin halving is just a starting line of the bull run and this is not the actual bukk run that we are waiting. Real bull run will come after more months and that would be next year IMO.

[Wexlike]

It is a nice combination of several things:

- new tax year
- halving in May
- CME future options
- institutional expansion(fidelity custodial solution to Europe)
- overall good market sentiment with the feeling that the bottom is in
- good media coverage
- overheated stock market

The tax thing I don't really agree, it's something you always expect anytime anywhere every year. CME futures was a surprise too, especially since Bakkt didn't do anything for price, rather, when expectations weren't met, we crashed.

I think it's definitely the general sentiment and people looking to get out of stocks before THAT crashes.

I agree with your view on the tax situation. However you shouldn't just base your view on it from the american perspective. Throughout the world there are many different tax situations especially regarding crypto currencies. So it sometimes makes sense to sell at the end of the year most of your position, just to accumulate for the new year.

This way you can counter-price it to some of your losses.

And then there are other tax heavens give you zero taxation after holding for more that a year, which in this case obviously don't have an impact on a new bull run.

[bitgolden]

There was a big movement of bitcoin recently from one place to another, many talks have been discussed, like was it Craig, was it someone else, hell even some people said maybe it was satoshi himself. However in the end if there was a specific reason for bitcoin to go up, I think we will never get to learn about it, I would love to know why it went up as well but not like there is a data showing what happened and what caused it.

I am pretty sure that whatever happened, it was just the small first increase, afterwards were all people just seeing an increasing and buying with hype which toppled up into basically just a bull run out of pure hype and nothing else. That kind of stuff happens, price goes up which causes people to buy which causes it to go up and goes into a circle until it stops.

Many people believe that an increase in bitcoin prices will occur because half of bitcoin will come, but that cannot be justified with certainty, because in previous years there was also always news that could influence the movements of bitcoin prices. however this is due to the wide spread of news which can increase its value and make many people to be able to invest more in bitcoin so that the trading volume is increasing

I saw your thread about halving and I saw it was quite in accordance with current conditions, that 2020-2021 would be the peak, more precisely 2021 would be the highest peak if I saw the halving before. I really hope history can repeat it. most people who want to push bitcoin price down may have needs such as wanting to get the lowest price, even though in my opinion the price below 10k is still very cheap when compared in the future or the peak in 2021.

yes, I agree with you the main factor driving the rise in the price of bitcoin right now is that the bitcoin hype has been reduced by half. because the moment of bitcoin is reduced by half this only happens once every 4 years and the fact that bitcoin always experiences an increase after being reduced by half makes investors interested in buying bitcoin. hopefully this year bitcoin can reach ATH $ 20,000.

thank you for wanting to see and visit my thread, but I am not quite satisfied with that, I want to see the highest price in Q1 2020 for bitcoin and other crypto markets, if it develops and prices increase at the beginning it will be very good for the future, I need look at the next few weeks to get the highest price prediction analysis for next year, let's look at it later
