In my opinion, digital currency always has a decline, but I think it will not decrease like in 2018

[btc_angela]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

Did you check the current price? Bitcoin has been tearing, it has gained in the last 24 hours and trying to break $40k again.

But regarding your question, perhaps what you are saying is the bear market, of course, this market is very unpredictable and unstable and we have this so called cycles. But so far we are still in the bull run, so no one knows when is the next bear market.

[Obito]

In my opinion, digital currency always has a decline, but I think it will not decrease like in 2018

You're right that there won't be any decline but I think there's still a possibility it could go down like in 2018, remember that bitcoin touched 19k at that time but it still crashed, not to mention that there are far more whales in the market compared back then and if they did a coordinated wave, they might be able to cause a crash like 2018, I don't think we are at the point where bitcoin is too big to go down, maybe some years from now it will be true but right now, I don't think it really is.

[EzeBitcoin2002]

Its not a news now, knowing that Bitcoin did very poorly in 2018, and at the end of 2020 we saw a drastic increase which got attentions of billionaires and investors, now I think this has given Bitcoin stability and I doubt if Bitcoin will ever fall badly as it did in 2018.

[mk4]

Answer to pretty much every single question concerning bitcoin's price: no one knows.

[bitterguy28]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

What is the intention of this question ? if you are aiming to invest once that level reached then  you may never get the chance , because we already reached the bottom and that is below 30k and asking if the price will fall down again to 4 digits might be a negative expectation .

[boyptc]

Low, if you look at this year's all time high.

High, if you look at last year's price of bitcoin.

And to know if it will go down just as that period, there's no way to determine it.

[20kevin20]

It's simply impossibel that the price will never drop significantly again in the next few months/years. Markets have cycles, there are cycles of crises as well and so there is a very high probability that Bitcoin will face at least one more significant drop in the long term. Whether that will last long, will be expected or not, will be -50% or -80% etc.. nobody can predict. We can only take a guess, but that has no substance and at the end of the day these "predictions" are just meaningless.

[checkmatesir]

More chances are there because as you can see from the market that the price of bitcoin is crossing $40k. And it will be the time when the history repeat itself because the bitcoin is the only coin due to which most of the coins gain their prices and loss their prices.

[worle1bm]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

Bitcoin is volatile and price pump and dump are normal while it is on the verge of going mainstream and they can go down like they went to $29k this month and now they are trading at $38k see this sudden rise in span of 24 hours ? So nobody could predict the prices for btc at certain level.They are not going way too much down if you are expecting the same.But time will clear your all doubts till then speculate.

[masterrex]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

Let's get to the point, we all know that Bitcoin price is very volatile and regularly fluctuates daily, that's why no one knows exactly what will happen next And if you think that Bitcoin price will fluctuate more just like 2018-2020 respectively, well it's also possible because in crypto everything can happen, But as far as I know, base on all available data today, the Bitcoin price was returning to $40K price level again so I think Bitcoin price today is far from returning to what it was back in 2018-2020 price level.

[palle11]

Are you trying to refer to 2018 in terms of the actual price at that time below $4,000 or in terms of the kind of deep at that time? If you are going back to $4,000, no I don't think so but again regarding fall in price, yes bitcoin has been falling since after Elon musk fud about bitcoin but currently, Amazon is starting to look in the direction of bitcoin which can lead to further bull back to high levels.

[ropyu1978]

I think this is not new news, I am very sure that everything in this forum will not know bitcoin will go down like 2018-2020, and no one will know when prices will rise again, because we know bitcoin is assets for the long term, so be smart to invest in bitcoin..

[rikybrosh]

In my opinion, if the price reach lower than 30k then it is low. But I think bitcoin still has big probability to reach 25k at this bearish market. so I still hold my fund and only buy if the price of bitcoin is between 30k - 25k depend on the progress of declining price of bitcoin. I am not an expert but if I permitted to give you a suggestion then I will say that maybe it will be better if you start buy using DCA method at 30k to 25k until October or November, I think after November bitcoin market has big probability to be bullish again.

[big kid]

I don't think so. It can be only if a lot of countries will ban BTC and miners will stop mine it. But it's not likely to happen. BTC is always go in cicles but it's keep getting higher and higher and takes the higher floors too.

[electronicash]

there was no covid back in 2018 so the only way to see bullrun to come back is due to halving but now that there is many companies and institutions having BTC in their balance sheets, it may not go how it goes that time. the holders didnt even sell prices below 30k.

so much to profit when you think about BTC price breaking out to its ATH price.

[terrorJR]

I think this question has been asked a lot from some time ago and I think you are too late to ask this.
and maybe this will look low if we look at the price of bitcoin a few months ago but it will be very high if we look at the previous years.
but if we look at the experience of 2018 I don't think this will be repeated for now because we see bitcoin support is still very strong and will not touch to severe numbers like 2018.
again, this is just a prediction, regardless of whether it will fall lower or rise again, no one knows about it, for sure make the best use of the bullrun time so you won't regret it later

[NeuroticFish]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

Up and down and up and down. The price will keep fluctuating by wide margins.
Will the price go down heavily again? Possibly.
Will the price go up to new ATH? Probably, sooner or later (!).
Are we at the low? I'd love to say that we have just passed the bottom, but actually I don't know and it's rather hard to tell. In Bitcoin investment patience is the key (and for that you should invest only money you afford to lose).

[TribalBob]

for the price of bitcoin no one knows, even if it's the founder, everything will run in time we as traders follow the flow of the market direction and the bitcoin trend itself
and all hope bitcoin doesn't drop below 50k$

[Hasan986]

I don't think Bitcoin will go down in price like 2018-2020. Bitcoin is currently in the hands of many large companies. They have a large amount of investment. 2 lakh $ bitcoin is expected in 2022. Hopefully gain next day by day.

[rozak]

maybe it could happen again. but this is not an analysis, just an estimate.
if you look at the actual market conditions, the potential for the decline will be less even though it may occur because the rally has been running for quite a long time. The downturn could encourage big investors to re-enter. but the conditions are a bit stable due to the possibility of more and more support from large companies supporting or adopting bitcoin.
The decline will likely be gradual. because right now the market support is too strong for a big dump like the one that happened in 2018.

[Renampun]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

The price decline on Bitcoin will continue to exist but I believe the price of BTC in 2018 to 2020 will not be repeated...

Bitcoin is a very volatile crypto asset but in 2021 it will be different because we have seen a lot of big companies accepting Bitcoin, besides that a company as big as Amazon is also reportedly going to accept BTC, so we will no longer see Bitcoin prices below $20k.

[ziennakarishma21]

My guess is that it is impossible, because currently BTC price is being supported in the price range from very high $ 30k, it is difficult to go down to low like in the past and the current price has increased to 40k $ yesterday. , in the future I think BTC will continue to increase.

[blackened515]

I don't think so. It can be only if a lot of countries will ban BTC and miners will stop mine it. But it's not likely to happen. BTC is always go in cicles but it's keep getting higher and higher and takes the higher floors too.

Bitcoin have gained more popularity now, compare to 2018. Bitcoin price in February 2018 was around $6k and it fell to $3k in December 2018. I don't think the price will fall to the extent it was in 2018. Although, the price is instable, nobody knows if it will price or fall. Bitcoin price is currently at $38k. However, some countries placed ban on Bitcoin, but that didn't stop bitcoin, this resulted to peer-to-peer bitcoin trading.

[Review Master]

TBH, none can predict what's going to be happened in the upcoming days or weeks or years. Anything can be possible as market has more adoption than previous bull season and bear market might take less time than previous one. If that happens, market won't get that much dip as well as vice versa. But we need to do our own TA so that we won't face any kind of losses, even if market could be worst than the previous bear season which means market could go lower than the previous ATH. 

[Vaskiy]

Cryptomarket isn't the same as the stocks or the forex. It is completely different, because an expertise who has the ability to predict the outcome of stocks can't clearly predict the market moves of bitcoin even if he/she had gone through a series of growth charts. Based on this we can't get into anything precise about the market of bitcoin. I believe there is chance for it to happen, without a timeline.

[roosbit]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

We came from $60000 and went down to $30k, are you still insisting price needs to go further down, I don't  think that would send the right signal if it happens.
Should price go to a low lower than $10k this would be seen to be the most volatile asset and investor confidence would be low.
But thankfully right now price is on the rise so those 2018, 2020 low prices won't be seen. maybe we can see a new all time high before the year ends.

[taufik123]

Anything can happen in the crypto world. Even up hundreds to thousands of percent in a day can certainly and vice versa.
we can make predictions using technical analysis by reading the chart formed using the indicators that are already available. Indeed predictions will not be 100% accurate, but by doing Technical Analysis we can know about the market picture that will happen later. Technical analysis is also balanced with Fundamentals or news that affect the price of bitcoin.
Currently bitcoin is bullish, and of course after the bulls there will be some corrections needed to reach the highest price again. Trading using the right strategy and management will give you profits.

[milani]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

In my opinion the low may be lower than $30000-$20000, but not like in 2020. At least it is unlikely for sure that  the BTC's price will be lower than in 2018. Bitcoin nowadays and in future lower than $3000 it is hard to imagine. And nowadays we see Bitcoin increased to $40000 in price.

[Boov]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

Don't expect 2018 will be happening again, bitcoin has stabilized the current value at $38k to $39k as of these days. Keep in mind that having a good start will not be the same as before, then if you do have a strong mindset towards bitcoin you're not afraid of taking risk now. That risk will soon provide you the amazing outcome which profit can be obtained by hardworks, so don't be afraid and always have courage.

[ivankoh]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

It is very difficult to predict the direction of bitcoin. What we have experienced this year is a good signal, that ATH is currently set at a high. And we're at $39k, assuming 29k is the low, we're in the midpoint zone, which looks like a sideways move. But we have optimism, as major catalysts are supporting the crypto space. I believe we can go up.

Indeed, no matter how good the analysis we do, it is quite difficult to predict the price of Bitcoin. But if we look at the movement of Bitcoin this year
it is quite good, even managed to rise to prices above $60k. Even though the Bitcoin price is now falling, but at least not as it was in 2018. As long as
the Bitcoin price doesn't drop below $20k, I believe the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise, so what we need to do is continue to collect Bitcoins.
Because I'm still quite optimistic the price of Bitcoin by the end of this year can reach the price of $100k.

We hope that $29k is the lowest price of bitcoin for this year and it will not go down for more than that price. But as you say, it is very difficult to predict the bitcoin price. But hopefully, the price can still increase by more than $40k. But in the future, the bitcoin price will be at more than the last ATH so we need to survive until that time.

If the price is down again, we do not have to panic because that will be another correction and that could be our good time to buy bitcoin.

[Fesatmas]

Answer to pretty much every single question concerning bitcoin's price: no one knows.

Even with predictions that come out of any analyst, even with world-class forecasters, even with intelligent robots that are able to read the direction of price movements. Will it all remain biased and raise big questions? Even though there is only one, the price of Bitcoin moves naturally every minute, depending on the mood of investors, mood of miners, mood of demand, mood of traders, mood of sellers. buyers, and God's mood. lol

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Bitcoin just like other crypto coins are highly volatile in price like we all know, so it's really hard to predict(and this is if it's even possible).
But based on some factors surrounding the 2021 bull run, if compared to 2017/2018 bull run, we all will notice a big difference, and one of those differences is that 2017/2018 bull run was mainly fueled by fomo and hype from New investors in the space, which is why price dropped really hard when the bear season came in 2020 - comparing this to 2021bull run which is mainly fueled by big institutional  investors joining the space which also attracted other high profile and influencial people joining to invest.

When we consider this two scenarios, we can easily conclude that we currently are into something more realistic and reliable this time than we were in 2017/2018 bull market, so based on this analogy, I can personally say that bitcoin isnt expected to drop like it did in 2020 after 2017/2018 bull run.
But like I've said before, this things are very difficult to pinpoint a right yes or no answer, and like a member here already said, the right answer to this kind of question really is No body knows

[AliMan]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

Non so far, and as I've observed the latest market updates of price we've reached at $40k again. On that projections, I couldn't speculate any downturns as huge as the previous weeks. So for now, lets wait for another bounce which potentially heading towards $50k or higher.

[19Nov16]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

I'm sure the current conditions are different from 2018-2020, now the bitcoin price has hit $40k and I'm sure the bull run will repeat soon, maybe the price can reach at least $90k, so I will continue to buy bitcoins from savings.

[traderethereum]

Yes, the current conditions will be different as we can see the price is up and down.
But the trend of up and down will always be there, no matter how much bitcoin price it is.
The bull run will come again soon and who knows, that can happen twice this year, so if that is coming, we will see the price will be able to back to $64k and have more chances to break on that price.
Maybe we see the price is low now and we think that the price can go down later, but if you do not use this time to buy bitcoin and only see the price move, you will regret it when you see the price start to increase.

[Text]

I think, with today’s visible movement of Bitcoin’s value in the market it is unlikely that it will return to where it was in the last three years.  More people still prefer its price to go up than to go down.  Now that its vigor is returning and the new good news about it is causing the price to go up again.

[inanilujimi]

It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but my assumption is that bitcoin will continue to rise when it approaches the $20k price because people feel that price is a good discount for the future. recently bitcoin seems to refute every prediction that exists with a significant increase in the last 2 days. I hope we never see the price of 2018-2020 again.

I hope we never see the price of 2018-2020 again.

the future is still an uncertain hope. The past that happened in 2018-2020 is a bridge to the future. from that we can make an argument about bitcoin's future, which needs to be remembered, a country must maintain price stability in the value of the currency, so when bitcoin continues to soar there will be times when it falls again as a form of price correction to balance the value of a country's currency of course .

[Kittygalore]

Here's a proof in the charts of bitcoin market for the past ten years that I am going to tell you, bitcoin rose in 2017 of December and around mid January of 2018 it has fallen but look at bitcoin this year, it may have risen in December but it didn't crash in January. So no, I don't think that bitcoin will be the same as 2018 right.

[DU18]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

The decline that is happening now is no different from what happened in 2018 in my opinion and it can be said that the cycle continues to repeat every time the bitcoin price is able to reach a new record high price, from some existing experience we can see how when the bitcoin price starts to peak but arrives suddenly fell quite deep as is happening now and in my opinion it might take 1 year or 2 more years for bitcoin to break the record price again and most likely halvingday be the right moment for bitcoin's revival later.

[sana54210]

the current conditions will be different as we can see the price is up and down.
But the trend of up and down will always be there, no matter how much bitcoin price it is.
The bull run will come again soon and who knows, that can happen twice this year, so if that is coming, we will see the price will be able to back to $64k and have more chances to break on that price.
Maybe we see the price is low now and we think that the price can go down later, but if you do not use this time to buy bitcoin and only see the price move, you will regret it when you see the price start to increase.

Bitcoin bull run will happen, and you know what will happen after that? Bitcoin bear run. That is how it has been forever, first it was a low price when it first started, even nearly free because people were like gifting each other thousands on very early days, then the price started to go up, the first skyrocket happened like towards 33 dollars or so, then dropped like crazy, then towards 150 bucks and dropped like crazy (funny enough that is when I started) and then it went to 1400 and dropped like crazy, then went to 20k and dropped like crazy and now to 64k and dropped like crazy, which means it will be much more than 64k in the future, and then it will drop like crazy after that as well. That is just how the crypto world works and that will always be how bitcoin prices will be, sure in the meantime we have some calm days time to time but it will always skyrocket and fall in circles.

[wxa7115]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

If you mean that question to apply only to the current cycle I think the answer is no, institutional investors have brought new dynamics to the market, I really think that if they were not here the price could have crashed already to very low levels but they are buying more and more bitcoin especially when it comes below the 30k level.

So I think this is not going to happen and this could cause yet another bull run at the end of this year or at the beginning of the next one.

The bull run comes and when it is finished, the bear run will come.
Yes, that will be like that and we could just follow where the price moves by buying and sell or buying and hold and that is the option for people who want to use the opportunity from bitcoin.
I remembered that day when bitcoin is very cheap to buy and it is available as a reward by playing faucet and we can get many satoshis at that time.
But the time to earn like in the past is over because the bitcoin price now is at $39k-$40k and the reward is just reduced a lot.
But we can still earn bitcoin in many ways and hold the satoshi because it will be worth it in the future.
So if we can have patience while we try earning more bitcoin, we will have the opportunity to sell bitcoin at the next high price.

I think that it's more than just a good direction because I feel like it has reached new heights already and I think bitcoin can't go down anytime soon like how it have gone down in 2018, there's just a lot of factors that are preventing that from happening, institutional investors and more people getting into crypto as an example.

[Dhaniii]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

I told him, bitcoin in two weeks will break through $ 50k, many investors have jumped again with cryptocurrencies and want to own bitcoin. Are you still hesitant to invest? bitcoin is in the green zone consecutively and returns to the red zone only a few percent and has no effect.

[Chato1977]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

Nope we are not , we will stay this level till next halving comes. like now that we are staying at 30-40k value this seems to be the level we will be having for years from now.
and looking for 2018 is ok since the market subside by lack of support from the investors, but 2020? lol that is pandemic effect and for this to happen again we must have another pandemic.

[rhomelmabini]

A drop in arbitrary number like 30%, 40% or even 50% can't be called we are entering the bear market, there should be some pattern to look for. I'm still bullish on the macro level of Bitcoin and I'm skeptical that we could enter the same drop we had on 2018. The year 2020-21 seems like having the same pattern of 2016-17 in my opinion just different on the structure.

[electronicash]

although the price spiked fromlm 30K to 40k Bitcoin still is not out of the woods.i'd like to wait for another breakout because its just too god to see two bullrun in a year. if it does happen then 2018 nightmare might out of our sight anymore.

too many analysis to check out yet none ever is guaranteeing they could foresee whats to come. but i did buy back some altcoins already because BTC spiked.

[Slow death]

although the price spiked fromlm 30K to 40k Bitcoin still is not out of the woods.

this rise from 30K to 40K shows that the price is on the way to 60 if it breaks 44K. but for now we're a bit out of the danger zone that was in 28K

i'd like to wait for another breakout because its just too god to see two bullrun in a year. if it does happen then 2018 nightmare might out of our sight anymore.

a break above 44K would be a very good thing. but we have to see that there is Stop - Loss, ie you can take the risk to buy now and place a Stop - Loss if the price goes down too much, this way you could profit a lot if the price goes up too much to 44K

too many analysis to check out yet none ever is guaranteeing they could foresee whats to come.

technical analysis is not guaranteed future prediction

but i did buy back some altcoins already because BTC spiked.

you did well to hold for a long time because almost all altcoins can make a profit of more than 4X guaranteed if the bitcoin price returns to 60K

[Timelord2067]

People can be scared and dump their bags for any number of reasons, not the least of which are pandemics, natural disasters and financial crashes.  Banks failing causes a rush on that banks liquidity and so it becomes an ever increasingly downward spiral.

Will BTC go down like it did in 2018 - Absolutely!  Today?  Probably not.  This month - dunno.

that is very correct. however, when the dump occurred no one knows. however, we know that dumps can happen at any time. however, don't worry, when a dump can happen at any time, so can the pump. for the time being, I calmed myself by thinking like that. well, besides, statements like that, we all want to know the answer to, but no one can be sure of that. what we can do is prepare for the worst.

I think, with today’s visible movement of Bitcoin’s value in the market it is unlikely that it will return to where it was in the last three years.  More people still prefer its price to go up than to go down.  Now that its vigor is returning and the new good news about it is causing the price to go up again.

- Returning to vitality only shows that its current illness has been temporarily resolved and passed a dangerous stage but this is a congenital heart disease, bitcoin's heart rate will go high or low on a very regular basis and go through many times of treatment, today's market can bring a positive life status line, but the implication in the future is still a huge question mark, a recurrence of serious illness like three years ago is still possible.

[Oilacris]

People can be scared and dump their bags for any number of reasons, not the least of which are pandemics, natural disasters and financial crashes.  Banks failing causes a rush on that banks liquidity and so it becomes an ever increasingly downward spiral.

Will BTC go down like it did in 2018 - Absolutely!  Today?  Probably not.  This month - dunno.

There would be no assurance that there would be no similar situation that will happen just like on what 2018 crash but basing off with the level of adoption and awareness of bitcoins existence then its really hard to believe on that there would be a second time around similar dumping state and if that thing happens again then i would definitely be putting all of my assets on buying cheaper coins.Yes, its risky but

i wont able to afford on missing out the opportunity to make profits when the market tends to recover even though there's no assurance to that but at least you do able to take risk
depending on your past experiences.

A matter of choice though since bitcoin is always been a volatile thing.

[Hippocrypto]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

Nothing so far, in fact the price ranges so well before we achieve $45k as a relief until such time another bullrun is going to go unstoppably. I'm just speculating here for good, but who knows that's exactly a good motivational thoughts to hear from me and also from other person who has the positiveness in their minds. Years of 2018-2020 has a different scenario with 2021, let's just be keen on our words.

[Questat]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

Everything that happens yesterday, today, and tomorrow is unpredictable, that much more in the future, I think it was just only a wild guess. Because if we are sure what would really happen this year, like be said the same as 2018-2020, we're supposed to sell more rather than accumulating coins. But as we can see, people are still investing and quiet to see how the market shows an amazing trend like it never dumps and turns bearish after hitting its ATH. That was enough to prove that the market is changing and no path to follow and thinking about another 2018-2020 is seems impossible to see.

[zanezane]

Bitcoin's too big to go down like 2018 plus there are more people hodling already and not backing down even when the prices are going down, plus companies have already come in and they seem to be in the market for at least a long time before taking out their investments hoping the prices will grow much bigger than their initial investment.

Unfortunately most people are into a practice of selling at high and then buying back at low which is the reason why we are usually having the corrections in bitcoin markets periodically. When at least 50% of bitcoin people are believing into market to slide down then they are pushing rest of bitcoiners as well to sell and then to buy back. So, regardless of how many people are participating into bitcoin markets, I am afraid we may go another round of bear markets in 2022.

But in 2021, we may test another ATH which may lead to bitcoin prices to be testing more than $100k levels before end of this year. So, get ready to face both bulls and then bears in near future.

But even if there's that kind of habit and correction, it still won't matter because even if it's 50%, the price won't go down real bad like the last time, plus a bear market in 2022 isn't going to be dire in my opinion because even if it happens, pretty sure that people are ready for what's going to happen next. I am hoping that it's going to be the case for bitcoin, to go back up and then reach another ATH.

[jakdanyel]

Going down to even $4k? I don't think that such thing will ever happen unless Bitcoin starts dying. Bitcoin price has gone over a certain limit and I don't expect it to go back to its old times again from these levels. Maybe we can see a price between $15k and 20k but nothing less than that I think.

[3la9l_kolbaCa]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

Don't hope it so, because in reality you don't like it when it really going to happen. It's not easy to handle the past nightmares that we already been through for so many times.
Many expected bullrun to commence one day and $100k will happen this year, but the answer is tentative.
We really don't have an assurance, only one chance will make it all possible.

[MiF]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

After the bull run season, bearish season is the next season to happen, but I think bear season will not happen this year, base on the current price and the market movement, I think the Bitcoin price will not drop so hard this year, and the price will maybe rise up high before year end.

[Clavulanic]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

We're not at the low level of bitcoin price as of now, because it already surpassed $40k then quickly reached $42700 with minimal fluctuations. The indications was promising so there's no chance that we're going down same with 2018-2020. Maybe if within that span of 4 years we will see bitcoin hits another historical value of more than $100k or stabilizes at that certain price.

[Avantikakaur]

The price of bitcoin is not likely to go down as much as in 2018 its price is going up and the market is going down but it will go up the market will not go back to 2018 analyzing the markets, it is understood that the price of bitcoin will increase further. It doesn't take long to get up even if it's low.

[erep]

Some of the market movements are connected to the historical past years but that doesn't mean the market will follow the same path, although I believe the market will fall before the bullish market but the lows will not be the same as the lows of the last 2018-2020 market.

2018 is certainly a year that is hard for me to forget, at that time I lost around $3400 for buying bitcoin at $14k and selling at $5800, looking at the current market trend of course I am sure that the moment 2018 will not be repeated now, I believe the end of the year can be reach at least $75k.

No one knows, if you make a wrong decision last time because you believe bitcoin will go down that's why you sold your bitcoin at a loss, you can still make the same mistake this time. What we are seeing is very bullish, but it could also be a bull trap only and bitcoin will again go back to $30k.

The thing is, bitcoin is very volatile and unpredictable, one day it will reach a new ATH but it could also correct to a very low price.

As we are still bullish, we should always learn from our past experience, and always believe that no easy money in crypto as investing here is very risky.

[dupee419]

2018 had the biggest drop, not saying I want it to happen again but with how volatile the price is, it may or may not happen again, we'll never know, all of our answers are just speculations, we can't complete determine how the price will move, we can only observe, prediction won't be much of an accurate thing to rely on because of its volatility.

[aoluain]

A rare bullish bitcoin signal, the difficulty ribbon compression, has started pumping up for the first time since the bull run started.

I have been told by a Bitcoiner friend that when this signal flashes Blue historically
Bitcoins price doesnt go below it, apart from the big selloff related to COVID.

I'm still trying to wrap my brains around this but its looking like this buy signal is an
indication that we are going up very soon which would mean we are leaving 2018
values further behind.

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

In my opinion, digital currency always has a decline, but I think it will not decrease like in 2018

All digital currencies have method to increase and also decrease, the version of it' price in 2018 and 2020 will not be the same with the price of it in 2021 and 2022 weather the price go up or it comes down but everyone opinion is for it to be going up because the more it go up the more profit come's to investors.

Bitcoin cannot always move up. There will be long bear market also. but before that we have yet to experience the true bull market. Bitcoin may touch somewhere between 150,000 - 250,000$ before we will be heading towards the bear market. In bear market, bitcoin may come back to 40-50K.

There are people who are saying that bull market for this year is over which is not correct. We have not seen the true parabolic run as we saw in 2017.

[Rasa nanas]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

By looking at the trend of Bitcoin movement in recent times, I predict that the phenomenal drop in cryptocurrency prices in 2018-2020 will not be repeated this year, nor next year. I think at the future Bitcoin price will be better than 2018-2020.

I agree with you. after bitcoin hit ATH in 2017 there was a tremendous drop in price. but that's not happening right now, yesterday bitcoin hit ATH at $64k and after that it dropped quite a bit to $30k. it means bitcoin only lost 50% of ATH price. Currently the price of bitcoin is back up and maybe it is a sign that the bear market is over.

[Kasabus]

If someone could answer this correctly, he/she was entitled as KING of Crypto. But for sure, nobody could do that. I'm very certain of that because nobody had ever controlled the market in the first place and since the market moves freely, this makes the prices remains are unpredictable. Some people will say the history repeats itself, I don't think so and it doesn't make me believe that statement anymore.

Anyway,
Either we go that high or at the bottom again, many people would still love to invest in Bitcoin. This is how it gives beauty to the crypto market.

[macson]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

2018 - 2020 was a crisis moment, at that time all crypto asset prices were very low and influential people have no interest in crypto.  now it's different and we see that many influential people are interested in crypto, i'm very optimistic that 2018 - 2020 will not happen again.

[STT]

2017 the dollar index dropped the majority of the year and in reverse you have DXY rising over most of 2018, that was quite a stark contrast in FIAT strength which shows up in these nominal strength judgements for BTC.   Could also look at FED policy, QE programs and rates at that time and also the election cycle for indications of FIAT vs crypto in determining the price and its variance between the peak of 2017 and the low afterwards.
   Obviously people refer to the halvening event as well but none of these factors are in isolation, overall its best to be bullish as long as the population of users in Bitcoin is increasing its then likely we do have a background or base line price which is rising.  
   Its far harder to judge the BTC price accurately by the highest prices, theres so much froth and hype, where as the lowest point which also mark the lowest interest from the disinterested casually involved is probably more accurate over the long term.   The froth price can certainly recede yes, dont bet everything on the highest prices sustaining.

This is not the thing that makes you rich, this is just a fact that bitcoin drops time to time. What makes you rich is knowing exactly when it happens, and knowing exactly when it stops, and knowing exactly when it goes back up. Nobody knows that, if we knew when it will go down, when it stops, and when it goes back up, then we could definitely do this a lot better and could be very very rich.

However to say that "yes bitcoin will fall one day" that is not really a problem, that doesn't give you any money, how could you ever make money from "yeah it will drop one day"? It is impossible and I believe that we should be focusing more on timing instead of actually knowing if it will drop or not. It is always obvious that we will have a drop, just like 2018 as well, even worse one day maybe? Or better, but there will be many drops, however I have no clue when that will happen.

[rhodelmabanal]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

There is always a big chance that the bitcoin will still go down like what happen on 2018-2020, up and down is the normal in bitcoin or in any other coin in crypto market. There are times that Bitcoin made a big rise and fall down after a couple of months. That is why even if the market is bullish we still need to be careful or be more smart on every decision that we make to avoid loss.

[King Khaizan]

The price of Crypto Assets depends on the balance of supply and demand. This is the law of the market. When a Crypto Asset is popular and in high demand then its price will go up. Vice versa, if supply is high and demand is low, prices will fall.

News or media coverage can affect the price of Crypto Assets. An example would be if there is news of a hacker attack on a crypto server, or good news regarding the adoption and infrastructure behind crypto technology.

so this is the reason for bitcoin price fluctuations, it may go up or down depending on the issues that develop.

[Devifajarina]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

This year and the year to come bitcoin will experience good times, compared to 2018-2020, this can be seen from the crypto market conditions, the level of stability today guarantees the value of bitcoin for the future, it is impossible for bitcoin to experience conditions 2018-2020.

Almost all the predictions made by people, both investors and ordinary people, none of them mention bitcoin is having a difficult time this year, in fact people believe that in the future bitcoin will experience good times and be much more stable, from year to year.

[flip4flop]

I think its very possible and likely probably in the near term. It looks like it is starting to follow the overall stock market in general pretty close. That being said as we approach tapering and some serious US Fed news next week in Jackson Hole there is a potential to see some accelerated selling in the stock market. With so many US institutions now holding BTC when there is a large sell-off in the stock market over the last year, we see the price of BTC also decrease. I hope that I am wrong but I don't doubt the possibility of a retest of the lows from a few months ago sometime between now and Oct.

Well, we can't say no since Bitcoin price has been unexpectedly unpredictable no matter what we do and the possibility that Bitcoin goes down like that might repeat again but the price difference is huge. I mean, if we have a bottom of $3,000 on 2018 maybe next year or in the coming years we will have a bottom but it might not be $3,000 again, it might be in $10,000 range or something like that.

We can't decide what will going to happen in the future but let's just hope it will bring it that because Bitcoin never fail us to see price the increasing every bull market.

I want to follow what will happen in the next few weeks and how the situation you laid out here will affect the market. Or the bitcoin market will oppose what should be happening? We know that btc market is full of surprises, it can pull a different turn when nobody expects it to be. Remember, couple of weeks ago, people are speculating that btc will go down even to 20k level. And look at where we are right now, trying to reach 50k again.

For this reason, it is necessary to accelerate sales on the stock exchange, to see how far bitcoin can withstand the attacks of many people, in the past bitcoin actually experienced this often, even worse than now, so the chances are small in my opinion.

But anything in the crypto world can happen, without planning or doing it on purpose, especially when it comes to influential people, then this is something the developers are very concerned about, it's very likely to happen, but I don't think so anytime soon.

[Kyraishi]

Contrary to some of the bitcoin permabulls, I think that it is expected and totally healthy for a pullback to occur pretty soon.

As central banks start raising rates and people's risk appetites die down coming out of the pandemic, I think that it will inevitable that a portion of the retail interest will decline.

One thing is for sure though, I don't think that we would see anything as close to the 2018-2020 bear market, because there are now billions of dollars in institutional funds ready to buy up cheap coins as they come.

[asrinur]

I don't think Bitcoin Price will drop like 2018 anytime soon. There are differences in Bitcoin price movements in 2018 and 2020. in 2018 Bitcoin strengthened very quickly. Thus, profit-taking occurs en masse and damages Bitcoin price fundamentals. But if we observe this year, Bitcoin prices tend to strengthen more slowly. So many people who trade crypto don't realize that Bitcoin goes up little by little every day.

Situations are different as mass adoption slowly growing year by year so we cannot expect the dip the same as 2018 since the complexity before is not the same right now. We already witness it this bear season recently and we exit so early so we can really look forward that more pumps will come in next following days, It's good to save some now since I think in next halving we might see bitcoin touch at 6 digit in figures.

2018 bitcoin crash was obviously a panic selling waiting to happen, we have reach the bubble that time late December 2017, we are in the overbought zone and yet there are a lot of uneducated buyers that time who thinks that bitcoin will continue to go up.

2020-2021 is different though, we have companies having bitcoin in their balance sheet, and then there are institution who have invested on billions in bitcoin. And then we've been tested by the covid-19 scare but we survived it.

Bitcoin was keep rocking now. The price was pump to now and many coin price was raised with that.Many traders are in good mood now. Because they will get minimum of 10 dollars profit with the minimum investment of 100$.This made huge surprise to the investor in the month end.

This is a never ending type of question on where people do keep asking out that if bitcoin would possibly have the similar situation happened into those previous years in the past?

No one could ever know and thats for sure.We didnt even expect that bitcoin could reach up upto 60k ATH which we are only hopeful that it could break that ATH of 20k back in the past.

Asking out if there would be some similar situations then it will always depend or vary with the demand that bitcoin would have.If adoption and recognition is somewhat high compared into the past
then it is unlikely for it to happen.

[OgNasty]

Looking backward you can definitely identify a repeating fractal pattern every 4 years. The stock to flow model seems to capture the long term effect, but it’s hard to ignore the pattern of gut wrenching drops that follow these every 4 year bubbles. I don’t know if this effect will become exaggerated as more people discover it, or if that will cause it to discontinue. One thing is for sure, I never discount a possible 80% drop.

It's hard not to notice the repeatability every 4 years - especially because it was related to halving.
However, the situation has changed a lot recently, mainly due to a change in the approach to cryptocurrencies by Musk and Wall Street whales.
I think we have to forget about the 4-year repetition period and prepare for a slightly longer than usual bull run. After that, there will of course be an 80% decline, but I am pretty sure it will not happen this year.

[blue_nexus15]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020?

We cannot confirm whether the market will return or not when the history of the years 2013 - 2017 is very special, and in it is also mixed with gloomy market cycles. So I don't think the market in 2021 can turn around, and next, let's see what the symptoms and possibilities are in 2022, we are enjoying a lot of opportunities to go now to history 100k$
After every btc halving we have a big bull cycle.

[marine4u]

History is a process, representing the rate of a repeatable error in the future.  We can't know about that, but I think that as the market has gone through the thorns from the past in 2018-2020, many lessons and experiences about the market have been drawn.  At the same time, the possibilities of externalities are showing renewed optimism.  In fact I feel we should enjoy the goodness and growth of this space.

[Kelvinid]

I'm looking forward to a better price today and in the future, not for another crisis again. I think we all have this kind of optimism but we are not sure of anything for the incoming, and the chances are...we are in a dump like 2018 or go in a different direction.

Seeing the current market trend, it is likely we are losing a chance to make it happen. The continuous market adoption makes the market in high demand pulling the price going up instead of pushing it down despite the FUDs. It was time not to think and compared the past OP as we are obviously moving in a different direction.

I've seen the bitcoin market when it nearly hit a $20K market value year 2017 and I've also seen the drastic market price dropped of bitcoin after the ATH and I can say that I don't want to see that crisis again. However even if I don't want it we can't predict what will going to happen in the future price of bitcoin I am just looking forward for the better price of bitcoin. And I believe that the market situation of bitcoin today is far different compared to the market last 3 years ago and the people keep on adopting the new currency, the FUD didn't matter anyway because now many get to see the true value of this platform.

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

I think anything can happen anytime. Cryptos are notoriously volatile, sometimes it's almost impossible to tell the reason behind price changes. For this reason alone, it becomes almost impossible to predict the future of Bitcoin with the best accuracy. Your best bet is to keep in mind the opinions of economists, crypto enthusiasts and other professionals in the field. However, in the end, you always have to make your own decisions. No one can be 100% sure about the future of cryptocurrencies in the market to date. everything is mostly just speculation or structured conjecture.

Another factor that makes bitcoin's future seem unpredictable is that its users are not increasing as sharply as they were in 2018-2020. This indicates stagnation. In fact, mass adoption is not happening as quickly as crypto players might expect.

The decline of 2018 was largely caused by panic and manipulation of the market.  Not to mention it comes mainly from retail investors.  The movement of cash flows from stocks after Trump's tax adjustment has partly caused the rift.  This year is completely different, institutional investors capitalizing on bitcoin as a store of value - market has changed structure towards macro and expansion.  I am optimistic about the situation and bitcoin has actually reversed completely with 2018 - I believe “digital gold” will make new history this year and the future

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

The ups and downs of bitcoin prices in the market are not new, in my opinion, 2020 and 2018 are not the lowest bitcoin price declines so far, if we look at the history of bitcoin price movements that have fallen from $20k in 2017 and dropped to $3500 in last year 2019, Before that, in 2011, bitcoin also experienced a drastic decline that occurred in August to October 2011, and at that time the price of bitcoin had reached the price of $2, so if you think $20k is the biggest fall for the price of bitcoin in the market, of course I don't agree with your opinion.

Well the "reason" is that people buy a lot of bitcoins all of a sudden, which means that not enough buyers at the same price, so sellers end up selling cheaper and cheaper to find people who would be willing to buy. And that is the cause of the drop, you can write similar one to the buyer side and how it increases as well.

The reason why people do make these type of things is similar to ours as well, or what you see here on bitcointalk when people talk about the price, you can sense what is going on and why it is dropping.

Of course, there are times when whales get out and sell tens of thousands of bitcoins, which drops the price and you can't predict that beforehand, but that doesn't change the fact that most of the time it is us, the community that makes it go up and down which is why I believe that we should not be really caring about what's going on.

I think the decline in 2018 was due to the large number of big projects and ended up being a scam and they immediately brought investors money, as we know that 2017 was the best year for ICOs, many projects reached a hardcap of up to $100 million, of course the conditions now are different because bitcoin transactions are from big company that invests in bitcoin.

[sarmrakib]

I'm looking forward to a better price today and in the future, not for another crisis again. I think we all have this kind of optimism but we are not sure of anything for the incoming, and the chances are...we are in a dump like 2018 or go in a different direction.

Seeing the current market trend, it is likely we are losing a chance to make it happen. The continuous market adoption makes the market in high demand pulling the price going up instead of pushing it down despite the FUDs. It was time not to think and compared the past OP as we are obviously moving in a different direction.

Yes that's right, we are moving in different directions, current market conditions don't make me FUD, I believe that crypto performance will continue to soar so that our bad memory in 2019 that once dropped below $4000 will not happen again, now is the time to shift assets unproductive ones such as property, stocks or gold to buy bitcoins.

Don't do everything on so early you can fall into the dark .However as we all know we have seen btc on 4000$ on 2018 it has change within this time and now is around on 50k$ .Why you didn't buy it when it was low on its price .Actually i could not judge it on the right time .If we could we can be reach now .Crypto market is high volatile market anything can be happen hear so be strategy full always to avoid your loss .

[Kusman]

I don't expect Bitcoin price to go down to $10k or below for example from now on. I believe that Bitcoin has already gone over a certain level and there is no turning back to those price levels in the near future at least. To witness such thing, let me tell you what should happen. Bitcoin must start losing its popularity at a very high rate. People must leave using Bitcoin any longer. And then, Bitcoin will be affected deeply and it will be quite possible to see it being near worthless.

[wheelz1200]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

Bitcoin can always go down.  Will it, it probably will.  Nothing ever linear goes up in a straight line, or always stays stable.  If that was the case everyone would throw there money in.  Crypto including bitcoin has always been volatile and will be fore the foreseeable future.

[Pulsar77]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

Noone can know about this. Bitcoin price is also highly volatile like every coin in this market. Noone can guarantee you about Bitcoin price not to go down to the levels back in the day. For now, it doesn't seem very likely to be honest. The market is still on a wonderful run. And we will most probably see another bull market before the end of this year. I wouldn't expect such thing while the market is having a lot of fun.

People do mind off for crypto price to move in a straight line or in a continous basis specially to those who had just recently jumped into this market without learning even with the basics.
They would only realize things if they do experience losses or once reality do really slap into their faces. Bitcoin and all altcoins in the market could neither go down or up and
this market would turn out to be boring if theres no such movement. People do really love mainly about volatility because this is where we do make money or profits.

$3K/BTC is nearly impossible now when Saylor is just buying up Millions every time there is a dip. Investors all over the world now are eyeing for BTC to go down too. Obviously, BTC is now mainstream that it might be hard to see drop $20k again. It would take a lot of fud to probably drop that low because when people heard of Amazon and Walmart is about to dip their fingers to crypto, they are also buying.

With so many institutions investing long term in Bitcoin, especially since Bitcoin reached a price above $60k the popularity and demand
for Bitcoin has increased dramatically. This makes it difficult for Bitcoin to even drop below $20k, so like you said it's almost impossible to
see Bitcoin go down to $3000 again. I estimate very many rich people who collect Bitcoin, by buying Bitcoin regularly every Bitcoin has
a correction. So it is very unlikely that Bitcoin will go down like in 2018-2020.

Really too far off to consider basing on the price that we had currently now.It might dumped but not really on the level on where we would really be heading back down.
Possibilities is there because this market is unpredictable but basing on the current trend and adoption rate then its really hard to consider that we would be going
down to those prices on where we had before into those times where we are just starting. Thing here as an investor is that you do know on when to consider on taking
step when you do see some chances.

prepare a plan to anticipate the worst case scenario. My advice may be to use the stop-loss feature to anticipate if the Bitcoin price falls drastically.

We cannot call it impossible since at year 2017 we didn't think the same as many people hodl for thinking that they will see more price pump but suddenly all hopes has been shutdown due to heavy bear season occur on year 2018 and so on. So even though its impossible to happen but we cannot disclose the possibilities since anything will happen in instance especially if we see a strong fuds push the market to drop badly.

Bitcoin reached the interest of institutional investors.

That's one big factor that Bitcoin is enjoying now, the popularity is more wider now and interest rate
is not just speculative but more on adopting this system.

That's normal because crypto has grown over time, and since the market is quite bullish now, just as usual, it will be so attractive for the newbies but they would not last as we will not always see a bullish market, time will come that the market will correct and turn bearish again.

We might no longer see those old sentiments but more on succeeding to this industry.

can't be sure with that, let's just enjoy the current situation as the market is just like a roller coaster ride.

[imstillthebest]

i think yes  .
there are now lots of whales , large institutions or simply called manipulators and if all of them decided to dump btc ,
 btc can go to a verry low price and it can stay there if they take no actions after it but why did you ask so ? what are your reasons ,
 are you going to wait for that golden moment because you want to buy more bitcoins ? well goodluck with that ,

Bitcoin always experience huge market correction after the bullish market that usually leads to new ATH price but with the institutional investors that were said to be the major investor of this season halving effect market, it hard to tell if we're going to experience the same old market replication though the market always volatile but it this season market will make us understand that the market will always replicate the old bloodbath market.

Prices that time to now is way still far, many investors invested in 2020 during the pandemic and they new how volatile the market is yet many are entering crypto and buying bitcoin. There many institutions now who get involved in crupto andw. I doubt the price will go down or up. It will just be a matter of time where .adoption will happen and almost all big companies will join or accept it. It doesn't matter how mich the price can be, bit it will not be too low from 2018 dump.

We might no longer see those old sentiments but more on succeeding to this industry.

The main reason for that is that we became mainstream and nobody put a stop into it. I know not many new people know about this but 5 years ago and since the start there were a lot of talk about "is bitcoin really legal?" and that was the main reason many people were afraid of going in. When I got into a job in 2016 and they asked me what I do, I said I buy/sell crypto and mainly bitcoins, and they told me isn't that risky and dangerous and how can I say it so easily? Meaning they were thinking I was saying something illegal that I am doing, I told them it is perfectly legal and I even pay taxes on my income and they were shocked.

So, up until the 2017 peak times at 20k, there were a lot of people who thought crypto was something illegal. Nowadays we all know it is legal in many places and that is why I believe that we should not be really too shocked about it.

It doesn't matter how mich the price can be, bit it will not be too low from 2018 dump.

Basically for now its hard for bitcoin to go down as the hype is now starting to build up since bitcoin already reached $50k and many people are now buying more to ride up since many speculates the target to reach at $60,000 - $10,00k again but we cannot deny the fact that price might still go down since price is so volatile and as I said earlier any big fuds could affect the price especially government forcing to shutdown its usage and other legal actions towards it. That's why we need more good news so that we cannot see this happen and we can enjoy the current market flow happening.

[rahmatrf331]

Bitcoin has gained great popularity now, compared to previous years. I don't think the price will go down again like in 2018. Although, prices are often volatile, no one knows if bitcoin will continue to bullrun or return to bearish. Bitcoin price is currently around $50k and often fluctuates between $47k and $50k. to go back down like 2018-2020, it's absolutely impossible.

[Vaculin]

I'm not 100% sure about the future of Bitcoin and nobody does but just seeing how the market moving, it was too different if we compared the days after 2017 Bullrun. I'd never seen any identical trend but seeing in the opposite direction, In fact, we haven't experienced huge dump instead, we are seeing the market price still at high.

I was to admit that I've been thinking this before but too good to see we're not. Well, I think everyone is happy about this.

[JohnBitCo]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

We haven't seen the current bull run like that of 2017 when price of bitcoin skyrockets to 20,000$. If we see the same parabolic run where bitcoin prices go as high as 200,000 to 300,000$, then we will see a similar bear run. On the other hand, if it does not happen, bitcoin may not dump as hard as in 2018.

We must remember that at that time bitcoin was not as well known and news about the Silk Road were still very fresh in the minds of the people and even bitcoin was being portrayed in a few movies as this currency that hackers used to make their deals, so bitcoin at that time was still looked upon as this shady Internet currency that you wanted to stay away from, but things are changing and people are seeing for what it is, which the best currency of the world and one they are going to need to survive the next crisis.

If we study Bitcoin properly, we will realize that Bitcoin is developing very rapidly. Now that many large companies have joined for long-term
investment in Bitcoin, they do that must have done some research beforehand. If big companies start recognizing Bitcoin as an asset worth buying,
it looks like the future of Bitcoin will be even brighter. Moreover, in 2021 it is very clear that Bitcoin's performance is increasing due to
the increasing popularity of Bitcoin. Therefore the effect is a bullish trend almost throughout this year, for this reason, it is very reasonable to think
that the possibility of Bitcoin falling like 2018-2020 is very small. But knowing that Bitcoin is very volatile and is often affected by FUD circulating,
there is still the possibility to fall very deep, the most important thing is that we must be vigilant when deciding to invest in Bitcoin.

[Yamifoud]

It has still become uncertain that we can never see it happening again but honestly, there is only a slim chance due to the continuous Bitcoin adoption and high market demand. If ever there is a huge correction that comes, that is really different from what we have experienced last 2018 bear season. But with this current market trend, it is more possible to increase its value than having it going down.

[BobK71]

Cryptocurrency or bitcoin is still an extremely volatile investment, prone to big swings in short timeframes. Still, everyday investors are crypto-curious.  A large number of investors engage in this platform which is much more form 2018-2020. As the investment is increasing then the price of bitcoin definitely also will increase. In this concern I think there is no way to go down like 2018 – 2020.

a lot of investors joined in these past two years, and a lot of them are huge companies and huge celebs, this made bitcoin jump to surpass ATH easily, and as we can see now, it seems like we won't see a very big sudden dump of bitcoin's price, even though i wish that could happen and i don't think it's just me alone, so we can have another chance to buy at a very low price.

[Rajamuda]

Indeed, there will be several downside phases that will occur at a certain time, but it will not be similar to the previous years, the decline... will not result in a stable movement that continues down and even lower. We all know the popularity was increases, the demand increases, not to mention that now more companies have started accepting payments with Bitcoin, relating to the price fluctuations... I still believe it will be more likely looks to go high than the previous years.

[sikke]

Absolutely not.

The days of protracted bear markets in the crypto scene are gone, I think. We are finally getting the deserved institutional accreditation and global reserve currency status that will serve as a very important stabilising force going forward.

Sure, a correction is possible. But a bear market that lasts for 4 years isn't going to come no matter how long you keep waiting for imho.

we already thought of this before Covid 19 comes , we though that after all the dumping happens in the past we will be seeing a great market with strong position  , but what happened in march 2020?
is that what we can called a institutional accreditation ? i don't think so because market still panicking and moving down when there is the same scenario.

That period of time commonly known as the crypto winter is probably not going to comeback, back then there were high expectations for this market and many thought that we are going to see worldwide adoption but it was too soon and as such the price crashed, now the price is close to 50k but more importantly there are estimates that put the number of users of cryptocurrencies at close to 100 million, I know that those metrics tend to be flawed but if we are anything close to that then the chances we see another period like that will be very low.

[MoneyBTC1981]

We might face BTC down, but not as low as it was in 2018...But BTC will surely hit $100k some day in future!

[TheMimic1]

Let's not forget that the main reason why BTC became so cheap in 2020 was because of CoViD, many want to survive that's why they sell off their coins and there was major panic around the world, I'm positive that we aren't going to see bear markets as harsh as those of 2018, 2019 and early 2020 again

Nothing to worry about the future of bitcoin, Overall bitcoin is still doing fine. Although there is a slight correction, the cryptocurrency giant is still a prima donna in the crypto market.
According to my assumption, bitcoin is heading for the better, the reason, demand for bitcoin is growing, because overall only 21 million bitcoins are available for mining, and to date, more than 18 million bitcoins have been in circulation. With a good track record, bitcoin will continue to move in a better direction in the future.

[DU18]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

The current price drop is a result of the negative sentiment that hit the bitcoin market and maybe this is due to the large number of FUDs being circulated by some authorities who don't like the attitude of the el salvador country which started to adopt bitcoin as a legal payment instrument  in the el salvador country a few days ago, I think this fud is deliberately done to bring down the mentality of the leaders of el salvador, but I believe that bitcoin prices will improve in the near future.

Let's not forget that the main reason why BTC became so cheap in 2020 was because of CoViD, many want to survive that's why they sell off their coins and there was major panic around the world, I'm positive that we aren't going to see bear markets as harsh as those of 2018, 2019 and early 2020 again

Anything can happen in crypto market but I don't think Bitcoin will lose it's value like previous term. Yes, at the time of COVID-19, many people sold their bitcoin to survive. Most of the time people sell Bitcoin because they haven't strong believe in it.

Despite the huge shocks that took place in the crypto market, bitcoin will never lose the trust of investor, the pandemic that has occurred since 2019 has slightly made the price of bitcoin fall because the demand is very low, thus making most bitcoin holders have to sell it for fear of incurring huge losses, but after that bitcoin was able to bounce back and give new hope to investor.
negative sentiment has always been a weapon for some people who do not support bitcoin, so they make a slanted issue about bitcoin, but these efforts always fail because bitcoin has begun to be accepted by the public and several major countries in the world.

In fact, even during the 2020 pandemic, bitcoin prices are still going up. different from 2017-2018 ago, the decline in bitcoin occurred because so many FUDs such as banned from china, google, social media, and others, pushed the price of bitcoin quite far. however, current conditions are very different from previous years. Currently, there are already very many investors and support for bitcoin. even some of the big companies that banned bitcoin again opened up access to it. well, we can see it, although the decline was quite far from $60k, but now the bitcoin price is crawling little by little back towards its ATH. this is clearly very different from the previous year. in fact, I believe a new ATH will also be achieved this year.

I have to agree here,,, 2017 dumping was, if we are honest, because 20k was too high a price for Bitcoin at the time. A lot of heavy speculating,,, people borrowing huge money sums to invest, and of course ICO craze which needed people to buy BTC to participate in.

Very different from 2021 where BTC is for sure worth the price it is today if not more, especially with all the recognition from many more countries since 2017.

[lixer]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

It will never be like that, that was 80%+ drop that stayed like that for months, we still do have drops, just like very recently, but we are not going to drop 80% and then stay there for months. That was a very difficult period and it took us a lot of time to recoup those losses. I believe that we should not be worried about the price drops though, because we have seen that even during those times if you had absolutely no money at all, then you would be able to work for it, but if you had money then you would definitely bought some and profited by this time.

Even with the recent drop we are nearly 10x higher than the bottom of those periods which shows us how strong bitcoin is. Which means if there are big drops this year (which I doubt will happen any further) we could simply keep it going and buy more at the low price to profit later on.

[judas]

It is really hard to tell. In that period, Bitcoin went down to even $3k which was really horrifying to see but also a golden opportunity to accumulate more. In my opinion, Bitcoin price will not go down to a that low level from now on. Maybe we can see a level like $20k again but I don't expect the price to go down to one digit levels certainly. There is a dump in the price now and maybe it will go down to an even lower level in the coming days. But I don't expect it to reach even below $30k.

[Woodie]

Price will always go down or up depending on different factors of the market, it could be bad regulations being passed and a crash could be used as a way to protest this move, sometimes this happens because selling orders which were pending get  filled which sees price dip if they were more in the market than we had buyers.

But going as low as the price we saw in 2018-2019 I doubt it.

[RealMalatesta]

It will never be like that, that was 80%+ drop that stayed like that for months, we still do have drops, just like very recently, but we are not going to drop 80% and then stay there for months.

We can't say that it will "never" be like that, but it does look improbable right now. I understand that people rather not see bitcoin drop too much ever again and whenever it is about to drop, people end up buying even more. Like just recently the crash wasn't from 52k to 46-47k levels, it was actually from 52k levels to 42k levels, it was a serious drop.

However from 42k to 46k it recovered very very quickly, like nearly instantly. The reason for that is the fact that we are were in a bull market and people are not willing to let it go just yet. We still had a bad day, the recovery didn't last very long, the 47k+ prices dropped to 46k again and equally in other coins as well. However the reason why I believe it will not be like 2018 is because we don't have the same feeling towards crypto as a community. However I still think it is not never", it could still be a small possibility.

[tygeade]

2019 started with around 3.5k dollars and ended with 7k+ at the end, even had a rush to 14k at the middle of the year as well, so I do not know why you would say it went down during that period. 2020 was the start of this bull run and started with around 9k and ended with nearly 30k price as well, so that was 3x that we had in 2020. Only year in bitcoins existence that had a big fall was 2018 and that's it, we never had any year like that and never had before it as well.

So, no I do not think that we will have that kind of fall again, we will be doing fine and the price will keep on going higher and higher in the long run. It may take a while to break ATH, or 100k which are the two goals people have but they will happen, even if not tomorrow, it will happen in a year and I can wait for it for sure.

[bots1]

I think the phenomenon of bitcoin crash like 2018 is difficult to repeat. The current Bitcoin trend is quite surprising. A number of analysts and traders do not predict that BTC will pump like it is today. This makes the market excited again the price of bitcoin and altcoins began to fly. However, in conditions like this, you must remain wise and careful. The current Bitcoin candle pattern shows a double top pattern. That is, in a pattern like this the market movement leads to two possibilities. Continuing the upward trend or even bouncing back down.

[Fortify]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

Considering that in the current year it went to $65k and then dropped to around $30k, something similar has already happened. It might have been an even larger correction but lots of large financial institutions and their customers have been piling into cryptocurrency in the last year, that gave it a bit more staying power because those sort of people do not need to sell in a panic. The start of Covid also caused quite a large drop off, so we've seen that Bitcoin is not invulnerable to wider economic shocks and might crash again during an economic recession - when people need to take money out to survive or pay their monthly mortgage payments. Don't trust anyone who can claim to predict the low points.

No, 20K was not a high price in 2017. People can argue that 62K was also a high price for bitcoin infact it is not. If you know the full potential of bitcoin, then you will realize that bitcoin will go beyond imaginations, this 50-60K price of bitcoin is still very cheap.

[sukmo]

We can only analyse and predict it and it is very difficult to predict the price 99% correctly.
The rise and fall of the price of bitcoin has become commonplace.
In that position our mentality is tested.
Faith is the answer to all this time that I've been doing.

yes, most people think the price drop like 2018 will repeat itself this year. but no one expected if bitcoin was stuck at $ 30k and the price immediately went up again. This of course makes a lot of people miss an excellent opportunity to buy bitcoins at the $30k point. after the price drop that happened a few days ago no one knows if the price of bitcoin will go up or the price will continue to fall.

[xmonkeyx]

I don't think it will happen again even though the price of bitcoin will go down later I don't think it will be as low as the price in 2018, now the price is very high compared to a few years ago and the users are also increasing. so according to my prediction it will not happen again.

[South Park]

We know that things can change incredibly quickly in this market but I agree with you and I doubt that we are going to see something like what happened back then, and the reason is simple what we thought it was happening in 2017 did not happen until 2020 and 2021, we thought that we were close to mass adoption but that was not true, but now we are getting closer to that goal, institutional investors are now part of the market and now even a country has declared bitcoin as a legal tender, so those are some very bullish signs that cannot be ignored.

[ranaprime]

The price of Bitcoin has no chance to go back to the previous position because now there is a lot of investment in Bitcoin all over the world so I don't think it can go below the minimum of $25,000.

[Reatim]

The price of Bitcoin has no chance to go back to the previous position because now there is a lot of investment in Bitcoin all over the world so I don't think it can go below the minimum of $25,000.

Wait but since when there are minimum price for Bitcoin ? in 2017 says there are many investors but yet the price in 2018 subside more than half of that.

in 2019 the price is getting recover from the huge loss of 2018 yet the price drops high in 2020 when the corona Virus becomes pandemic .

so tell me How can you assure that status for bitcoin?

the right answer is no one knows if that may come or not .

We know that it will be fine because the temporary falls are fine. The start of 2020 was around 9k, the fall on march was under 4k, and by April/May we were 10k already. So yeah, we do have crash falls sometimes but recovery is very quick. The 2018 was not like that at all, it went down and stayed down and that is what everyone was afraid of, if it goes down like that again and stays down like that again for a long time.

But 2021 didn't happen that way, sure we are still not back to ATH that is true but that 30k did not stay for too long neither. This is why I think we can compare 2021 to 2020 or even 2019 and not with 2018 because that was rare and did not happen again. A whole year of bear run is unlikely to be seen again.

[Vaskiy]

The institutional adoption and common usage of cryptocurrencies have increased with time. This is connected by most of the users as a reason why we won't experience a down market within specific year. In my understanding I haven't thought of reaching such high, so same as the high value it could also go low. Everything is upon a cyclic pattern.

[Emitdama]

2019 started with around 3.5k dollars and ended with 7k+ at the end, even had a rush to 14k at the middle of the year as well, so I do not know why you would say it went down during that period. 2020 was the start of this bull run and started with around 9k and ended with nearly 30k price as well, so that was 3x that we had in 2020.

So, no I do not think that we will have that kind of fall again, we will be doing fine and the price will keep on going higher and higher in the long run. It may take a while to break ATH, or 100k which are the two goals people have but they will happen, even if not tomorrow, it will happen in a year and I can wait for it for sure.

No one can give perfect prediction about cryptocurrency and specially Bitcoin because this can go either way any time bitcoin is decentralized and no one have control but recently whales playing good game and have some good profit from their tactics but still we are sure about this it's never going in way as its happen in 2018 because now adoption is happening, and we have some big and good names of technology working on better ways for spreading this and do some good things for easy life.

Even we all sure now it's not going to happen again, but still no one know what is next in crypto world.

[mr500]

As of lately crypto currency is one of the best investment platform. Bitcoin's price has soared the past three months from $33,36k to over $52,000 U.S. dollars per Bitcoin, as companies such as Tesla, PayPal, and Square have emphasized buying reserves of the currency and making it possible for customers to transact in the currency. It is the great power on behalf of bitcoin that is why I think that there is no chance for bitcoin to go down like 2018 as the price $4k.

[mr500]

We saw before the lowest downfall when BTC price was $25 but last three to six months the price ups $52k and down $33k around eventually so the whole senario at the crypto era gradually more complicated . predictions speculations over embatiousness there are happening and will be so let's see what happens next .

[Ngewex Yuk]

I'm sure the current conditions are different from 2018-2020, at that time there were many scam projects that cheated and immediately exchanged them for cash so that the price of bitcoin dropped, now bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have a strong foundation, namely devs. which is supported by large finances so that it will keep crypto prices afloat and will not drop again like 3 years ago.

[Lanatsa]

Just considering the level of acceptance or adoption of bitcoin or crypto market as a whole then you could really tell that this is something different compared back in to the past which it isn't really right

to presume that we would really be seeing the same crash or price decline as of these years but well the probabilities would be always there because nothing is really guaranteed or can really be predicted.

This is why it would be much better that you should stick with your investment plans and goals or targets and wouldn't mind off about these events.

[newwest]

Thing are now much different than pre Covid 2019 times. So things to change that drastically will not happen. Yes it will still have a bumpy ride and bitcoin always had that ups and downs if you see charts over the last decade or you may have personally experience it. As well now it had reached 50k and fallen back to 40k levels but again it has now moved till 44k. So rise is inevitable.

[arufox]

so yea like will ever just stabilize really low like in 2018 and 2020? or are we at the low?

In my opinion, the decline in the price of bitcoin like 2018-2020 will not be repeated because the current technological and institutional development of cryptocurrencies is much faster than 2018-2020. Although bitcoin will experience a correction after the increase, the price may jump again or rebound.

Volatility would always be there and cant really be avoided and people should really be thinking off this thing which it had been the main reason on why where here on the first place.

Presuming that 2017-2018 event would happen again is something that cant really be possible in todays situation basing off with the adoption and situation on how big the market
is then its really hard to believe on but everything could happen since it is something a common behavior of crypto market.

[Furious 7]

is then its really hard to believe on but everything could happen since it is something a common behavior of crypto market.

We see the developments and the current situation, what I think is also the dark history of 2017/18 will not be repeated again, seeing many large institutions and several countries have responded positively, therefore I am sure that in the future it will also be something valuable even the correction won't be that big even into a red crash but this is a defense in a market where investors are now stronger to hold on.

The pumping occurs there must be a correction but this will not be too severe even before it is precisely with the resistance that there are many who believe that this can indeed be held at the specified price.

[Wong Gendheng]

The conditions now are certainly different from 2018-2020, at that time I bought bitcoin at a price of $ 12500 after holding almost a year I sold at a price of $ 5800, currently many large companies are buying bitcoin in large quantities so that demand continues to increase and this is a positive signal that the market bitcoin will continue to skyrocket while 2018-2020 many cases of fraud from ICOs and exchanges making it difficult to rise.

[retreat]

The future is hard to predict, all we can do is live the moment. the chances of events in 2018-2020 are great to happen as well as opportunities not to happen. so let's invest in bitcoin calmly and confidently even though in the future the price of bitcoin drops then we have to hold our btc.

[ReiMomo]

Though market is unpredictable, I am sure, Bitcoin might not fall back back to below $30k. It has set up its mile stone already moving forward. We have more demands now for Bitcoin. Its growth in the market now is fabulous. Its stable and steady between $40k to $49k to see its bull market very soon. We are top ahead from 2018's market. We must start looking forward and support Bitcoin reach next ATH.

Well, it has already fallen back below $30k this year, have you forgotten already when the correction happened? though it's a short correction it resulted in bitcoin dumping below $30k, the actual price was over $29k and you can see that in the price history using the YTD data here https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/

[arufox]

I don't think it will happen again even though the price of bitcoin will go down later I don't think it will be as low as the price in 2018, now the price is very high compared to a few years ago and the users are also increasing. so according to my prediction it will not happen again.

Right. which is different from the past, the crypto money ecosystem has now attracted the attention of large financial institutions as a collection of their investment portfolios. The current increase in the price of Bitcoin tends to be influenced by the entry of a number of large institutions into the cryptocurrency market. However, what needs to be understood is when the market support conditions occur. Or when Bitcoin will rise again after touching its lowest price. You have to be able to analyze when it happened.

The scenario is completely different from the previous time period when bitcoin marked its ath value. Now the community has widened drastically with large scale institutions participation along with the common man's adoption of bitcoin and usage of cryptocurrencies on trading and different transaction needs. Whatever the direction the market doesn't matter, in no time it could deviate downwards. It isn't assured that we won't reach same as 2018-2020.
