will bitcoin ever go down like 2018-2020

[777Jolami]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It's unlike but it's possible due to market manipulation, the future is uncertain, though these people are buying or accumulating bitcoin, one big news that could potentially shake the market would also make them panic and sell their holdings. I'm just talking about the worst-case scenario here, at least we can see what could possibly happen in the future.

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.

What you say makes sense, in my estimation it is impossible for the price of Bitcoin to fall to $3000. But it doesn't guarantee 100% that it won't
happen, there is a worst-case scenario that might happen, considering that the market is very easy to manipulate. If that is the case, we must
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.

The numbers of people who wants to invest now with bitcoin is far better than those previous years.
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.

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.
