Yeah, I understand cryptocurrencies are volatile, high risk investments. But, are you guys expecting a market crash anytime soon?

[Fesatmas]

Threads are actually decent in the altcoin section.
Besides that, I just want to ask something again, what is the underlying reason for this to make the price fall? so we are here clear, maybe you have a certain reason.

If you ask did I expect that? as a crypto user i would definitely not expect it. In fact, all users totally disagree with it. Market conditions are volatile, sometimes experiencing major corrections, and sometimes experiencing bullishness that you can't ignore. Therefore, there is nothing to worry about. This has become a natural state of affairs as a cryptocurrency market.

[BernyJB]

Sorry you consider my question not to be decent. 
There's no agenda behind it. I'm learning, I'm asking questions. Several people have said (understandably) that there are way too many cryptocurrencies today, and in a world with less than 200 fiat currencies, it kinda makes sense, at least to me.

It is always a possibility. Remember, time in the markets always beats timing the markets.

Just adjust your risk levels accordingly and you will be fine. If you think you'll be upset when crypto crashes, then it means you should sell some. Otherwise keep holding. You'll be on top in the long run.

It is not a question of crashing or bull or bear.

It comes in waves and surges.

So is this wave going to pull back or does it have legs?

If we are still pushing onwards and upwards and it is summer of 2022 I would not be surprised 😮.

If we pull back today for the next two years I would be surprised.

But I am prepped either way.

Yes ofcourse it will but will it remain in that zone forever? No not at all, markets are bound to run in cycles, cycles of bullishness followed by bearishness and then again bullishness and this string continues, what remains constant is the growth in the longer term bitcoin being a deflationary asset will definitely grow in the longer term. So if you are in for the short term trading better learn concepts of support resistances otherwise just bring in your money and just forget about your investment.

If we pull back for the next two weeks I'd be pretty much screwed. But I'm screwed already, so I guess it's not much of a difference...

I am glad that you understand cryptocurrencies are volatile and high-risk investments! This obvious means crypto markets can crash at any time because they are volatile! That is why you are advised to invest at least some of your money in crypto but not all of your money unless you are good financially so you are sure to recover any time when you lose.

[Haunebu]

Not expecting a market crash would be surprising if you ask me unless you are a newbie cryptocurrency investor which would make complete sense. I am not expecting a correction anytime soon due to several positive reasons.

BTC and the rest of the market will probably continue to stay bullish until the beginning of next year after which the market could turn bearish based on historical trends.

I'm not a "newbie" cryptocurrency investor, I'm a "wannabe" cryptocurrency investor.

Stay calm guys, the crypto market is like this, you just need to brace yourself mentally during a big downturn and prepare a few percent to take a sizable discount. The market always recovers from time to time when everyone mistook a big price correction as a sign of crash that's when you have a chance to enter. Learning from experience that this kind of concern is commonplace and whether we like it or not we will definitely face a bear market either in the long or short term though. Make the best use of the opportunity to cultivate more knowledge about taking advantage of the bear market in trading.

[Gyfts]

There aren't many times you can predict a market crash, so realistically anyone's guess is as good as anyone else's. I don't see exponential growth in the markets, and exponential growth, even in nature, is absolutely unstainable - so no clear indicator in the short term that there's going to be a correction.

Obviously, "near future" is subjective but the guarantee of an eventual market crash is absolute. That does not suggest absence of a recovery, though.

There's always a market crash after every bullish season and that is inevitable. But this should not sadden everyone in the market as it is not really brings negativity because after you witness a price correction, there's always a good opportunity for bitcoin and other major altcoins to reach their new all time highs. The market may faced some possible dumps but after that, those coins with high potentials will certainly recover while some shitcoins will never have chance to recover at all.

Every investor should be expecting a crash. For a while we have had a bull run on some cryptocurrencies and it's not here to stay for ever it's wise to take profit. Set a target price to pick out profit at each rally up so the market don't take people unaware. In as much as it's difficult to predict the market it's always good to maintain a good profit target so you don't get trapped and taken unaware

Ok. Let's talk bubbles for a second.

Goldman Flags $8.2 Trillion Threat Worse Than China Evergrande

Sep 30, 2021

The real worry concerning the China Evergrande default drama is the inevitable where-there’s-smoke-there’s-fire paranoia that accompanies debt stumbles.

The most worrisome such blaze, say analysts at Goldman Sachs, is surging local government debt levels that President Xi Jinping’s men have done their best to hide. The default troubles at the globe’s most indebted property development seem like small embers compared to the $8.2 trillion worth of local government financing vehicles outstanding.

And that’s just the LGFVs we know of. The data that Goldman’s Maggie Wei highlights is as of the end of 2020. Clearly, the tally is higher now—perhaps markedly. Ten months ago, these shadowy investment schemes had reached 53 trillion yuan, up from 16 trillion yuan, or $2.47 trillion, in 2013. They now amount to roughly 52% of China’s gross domestic product, topping the official amount of outstanding government debt.

In other words, as scary at the $300 billion Evergrande story might be, Xi’s government has much bigger problems on its hands. The most acute: keeping GDP this year from falling too far below the 6% Beijing hoped to produce without adding to the nation’s bubble troubles.

The forces behind local governments sitting on financing-vehicle debt worth twice the size of Germany’s GDP date back to 2008. Even before the Lehman Brothers crisis, Communist Party dynamics encouraged municipal borrowing binges. The way local officials got attention in Beijing—and rose to national prominence—was producing above-average GDP rates.

According to this there is an $8.1 trillion dollar automotive loan bubble in china.

The student loan bubble in the USA alone is said to be larger than $1.5 trillion.

Bubbles are usually associated with large sums of outstanding debt. Which makes it difficult to know where the "crypto is a bubble" claims are stemming from.

Market crash is just as market bull which meaning the opposite and that at some point will start happening. If the bull starts fading out, then you know if bear is coming . Again too when price has gone to equilibrium high there you expect the fall but crash for this year will be very different, it won't last a long time like in 2017 that lasted from 2018, 2019 and some 2020. This year will be different because there are institutional hodlers.

[timerland]

I am definitely not betting against the crypto market, that's for sure.

But am I prepared for a crash? Absolutely.

Which is why I think that fiat currencies can actually be good to hold in moderation, because it allows you some purchasing power to buy up cheap coins if a bear market does come around. I do think that the current craze will die off as FOMO wanes, but we're not regressing to below $1 trillion market cap ever again.

Can be possible but I'd never think it now, maybe when the price of Bitcoin falls back to $0. However, the price keeps on rising, the demand keeps increasing, should have we think that it crashes? Not for sure but instead, we even think that it stay forever and is considered as an alternative form of payment that something fuels to continue its journey just like fiat money.

Those who are in this field for many years for sure are thinking positively about the future of crypto. Of course, it is a form of market support but certainly, we don't know yet and are not 100% sure about it.

Market data is fairly young, but based on those, cryptocurrency market works in cycle, obviously boom and bust. So a market crash is imminent I should say.

However, we really don't know when it's going to be? what will be the highest cycle (ath) for this year that will make the price crash? In 2017, we've seen it, when we hit almost $20k, that's it, the price can't go any higher than that and soon after, it's a long crypto winter until the next halving in 2020 and now we are sitting in another bull run. So most likely after we hit 6 digits this year or next year, maybe, there could be hints of a market crash.

Well yeah but just how soon no one knows.  No market goes up on a linear line there are bull and bears in every market.  And the crypto market won't escape that, it's just the way it is.  Keep your head down, keep DCAing in when you can and keep stacking sats.  In the end you will win.
