I think you need to move this on Speculations board rather here. And, in regards to the spreadsheet table on the first photo what are those text meant? If we get back to that time of June 2017 and refer that to this current drop then I'd say we are into huge surge for Bitcoin, just my two cents.

It is very exciting to see the changes in Bitcoin prices over the past ten years. In fact, due to the recent increase in the number of new investors who have come into contact with Bitcoin, the topic of FUD has once again occupied the main body of the forum. In fact, we need some posts of this type to let people see what Bitcoin has gone through. The short-term market decline is not the end of Bitcoin. Compared with the price in 2017, the growth of Bitcoin price is not even as fast as inflation, so it has not yet reached our expectations. I hope everyone can hold Bitcoin firmly and don't miss the second half of the bull market.

November i think is the best month for bitcoin recend fud and red in portofolio is most likely happen this month

i think bitcoin is exhausted right know and correction needed for make new moon

and volatility is happen when asset have high price just like gold even tho is not crazy as bitcoin

[teosanru]

Interesting! Also as I can see it never really went below it's previous all time high once it crossed that high to create a new higher. Which means the least bitcoin can go is around 20k nothing less than that. So if anyone wants to get in for a relatively longer term anything around 20-25k can be a good buying area. Also I think this correction can be over soon and we might see 50k area once but the actual bear run would eventually start once we get rejected off that area and then we come at this level. Because then you can expect btc to stay in this area for quite long maybe couple of more years.

Actually there's a lot of charts of past historical price of bitcoin, and it just shows how it's volatile, nevertheless, after havling years, we experience a tremendous growth that's why we think that every thing works in cycle, the so called "4 year cycle". But we before we see this exponential rise, the price really goes down, -50% or even more, but during the last quarter, suddenly we will see another super bull run and this is what we wanted to see happening this year, a bull run that will put the price into 6 digits.

That's how it is, when Bitcoin goes on a bull run, there will be people who are going to spread FUD or anti-bitcoin sentiments in this community, we have seen this in the bull run in 2017. And I would say that it is part of the ecosystem.

In fact, we need some posts of this type to let people see what Bitcoin has gone through. The short-term market decline is not the end of Bitcoin.

There are a lot of similar post in the Speculation board, but the problem is that there are newbies who blindly trust crypto influencers like John McAfee in 2017 and now Elon Musk. We need to educate ourselves and understand what is the narrative of this personalities for attacking and or shilling Bitcoin. Past history already tell us that Bitcoin is so resilient and proven itself to bounce back after a big downfall.

This is the reason that it is better to excise patience when bitcoin goes bear because it will eventually rise again for profit to the level you entered. In 2017 December after the bear, it came bearish till 2018 and 2019, who would have expected this kind of astronomical increase this year when covid-19 was taking down businesses but bitcoin hodlers and investors made more than 100% in ROI and that is huge gain. Now the story looks like feeble but the price will soon recover as bitcoin is resilient.

No one whom had thought that we do even break out new All time high's into those times where we do expect that the price could possibly go down even more due to that pandemic situation but we we're all wrong and with the continous involvement of big companies and personalities then we had actually see the other way around.

Its really quite obvious on how far we've been able to reach out after a decades time and seeing those numbers in the past does indicate the potential that it could really have in longer runs but people do still get shock whenever there is a price decline.

Bitcoin would be continuing on racking up those records and we should really be prepared on making out our positions.

History repeat itself but it can be changed or bitcoin price not always matched with the prediction and bitcoin is also can change because of fundamentally not just analytic

But bitcoin's fundamentals is just going strong year-to-year, it's just the price is really volatile as there are a lot of players as it grow from 2012-2021. So the only constant is the technical analysis, people come and go in the market, but it's remain the same in my opinion. A lot of up and down in the last 10 years, we may call it cyclical specially that we have halvings every 4 years that really affected the price movement. Now, we have touch as high as $64k, just a question whether we hit the top already or not.

Is the latest bottom price exactly 30,000 USD? That's a rare thing to happen if I may say. One thing I noticed is that the longer the correction day is, the higher the correction percentage is, I am not knowledgeable about that so hopefully some can explain why is that happening?

[yhiaali3]

The heaviest correction was 84% in 2017, and lasted a whole year from 12/2017 to 12/2018, then Bitcoin started to rebound strongly and returned from the level of  3000$ to  20000$. This chart is really optimistic because for every action there is a reaction equal to it in strength, so the stronger the correction The bounce was stronger, this chart should be seen by the weak hands who are selling the cheapest because they will regret it very much when they see Bitcoin coming back to top again and making a new ATH.

[Inspiron14]

Bitcoin is already very well known for its high volatility, no need to compare it to previous years,
because of course everyone already knows that, yes about bubbles,
we know 2017-2018 was the peak of Bitcoin's glory, and this year that glory bounced back,
and The bubble is also said to have burst! Look at the Bitcoin price that has fallen by more than -50%, how about that?

Too many factors to consider. However, you could probably make a few assumptions, but without the data there would be no way of doing it accurately. It could be for fear of missing out, and therefore the pump is longer, and therefore the percentage is due to more people trying to invest.

how about that?

The absolute perfect market for any speculative investor. Although, I do disagree with you, if you are investing in a new technology you should probably consider its history. While history may not repeat itself, its good research to take a look at it regardless. Besides, its actually encouraging if your an investor. Say you invested at 20k, then it crashed to 10k, if you look at history, and its recovered over a period of time you might actually decide to wait for it to recover further before selling.

That's how it works? I mean you have it go down, then go up and then go down and go up. It is on the down now, which means another up will come and we do not know when that will happen but it will happen for sure. So what is next after that? Another down! Shocking I know. We do not know when bitcoin will go down or up, we do not know how much it will do it, but we know the directions, that is just how it has been in everything it is always up and down and up and down and keeps going.

This is not the secret and it is not something people need to learn about. What is the big thing is to learn when it will go up/down and how much it will go up/down because that decides on how much a trader can make money. I do not like to guess and I am not good at it so I end up just holding but I think even I do know when to buy, and it is about right now because it is looking good.

You're right, I was just a bit surprised at that time because the number was exactly 30,000 so I never considered that it was an assumption or anything like that. I guess we will never know exactly until an extensive and precise study and analysis is done.

[SaveOurSea]

don't think too deeply, because volatility in bitcoin has been happening since bitcoin was launched, so don't be surprised,
this is hard for beginners who are just entering the crypto world now, because this situation is like 2018,
when the price drops sharply then everyone panics and sells it,
will but who is still holding from 2018 of course now has a profit of 2x to 4x, the cycle will continue like that so relax

Data is never a bad thing, you could always use every single data you can find and eventually they will mean something. Of course they do not help you predict it correctly every single time but at least you have data to back your claims and sometimes it is wrong, which is fine. Reality is that without these data (and a million other data) what are you going to base your predictions on? There are tons of people who claim that it will go one direction purely based on what they think will happen from their gut feeling, that's it, that's all they think and the only thing that will make a profit is the fact that "they feel like it" and nothing more.

Data may not be correct at all times but it is 100% guaranteed a better method then just gut feeling. Which is why I am not saying put all your eggs in one basket but at least check these to see if it supports your predictions.
