Bitcoin 2022 bear market?

[mia_houston]

Overnight bitcoin fell from its initial pump to $42k and dropped back to $38k of course this will be a panic that happens is bearish not a real rally will the bear market continue to rule the current market? I think a lot of people think a bear market is coming and in 2022 we can't expect much more for the first quarter, but we'll try in the next quarter how to see how the other big investors react.

I will remain vigilant for me this is still unstable from the current situation.

It's trying to reclaim the $38k price after a huge fall to $32k. So now we are in a pump, not sure how sustainable it is, but at least we are in the green in the last 2 days or so. A good indication that after so much FUD and the Omicron effect, the price is way above as what we are expected. And we are not even at the end of first quarter, maybe we can still maintain this growth to at least $50k.

The decline in the price of bitcoin bitcoin in the last few days can not be separated from the mining ban carried out by the Russian government, as well as negative sentiment coming from the FED further triggering fear from investors, this fear finally makes bitcoin  holders shift their crypto assets into USD and on the contrary, demand increases become bigger in the market.
Right now the market is starting to get a little green again and I think the strengthening that occurs in bitcoin right now is not safe enough and maybe this is a trap before bitcoin goes down, I dare not say if bitcoin has fully recovered because I think bitcoin will be able to continue its positive trend, if it can penetrated the 50 percent Fibonacci level in the range of $38,200 to $38,700.

The price is already on a decline after hitting a ATH last November, and for sure the bear market might take over this 2022. I know the feeling though, it's really hard to see the price going down but we can't do anything but to prepare for the worst.
Maybe this first quarter alone might be a good gauge and know if we are really in a bear market or not or if there could be some surprise and we might bounce back. So we will have to see but expect the worst.

Has there been a change in the fundamentals of the crypto world? Is bitcoin not what it is a few months ago? Is there any big bad code faulting going around? No? Then we should not be worried about anything at all right now.

Even at bear market, the fundamentals are not going to change, it is the sentiments that affects the price.

We had China attacking bitcoin, we had Elon pump and dumping, we had second largest mining nation having a civil war going on, we had so many bad things in the news regarding crypto, the fact that inflation is now high in most major nations and people can find other means for investment also didn't help neither. So, crypto is still great, and it will still break the ATH price eventually, we just had a bad stretch, that's it.

Yeah, but you can't deny that these factors have really affected the price negatively right? From all time high of $69k so now at $37k. So price perspective is bad and admit it or not, the market is really on a bad shape and we are in a bear market.

But this won't be forever, right? So we don't have to deal all of these as they may only destruct our goal in the crypto market. If we can make this bearish market into our own advantage, it will really make a big difference in the future.  And eventually, its new ATH will still be achieve but i'm not seeing it in the soonest time. The start of the year could be gloomy days but after that, a new sunshine will come.

It is still at this point, I thought that we will maintain the $38,000 line, but it did fall, but we have rebounded to $38,000++ now. So we will see if in this weekend we can sustain and end the month with at least a decent price and not below $30,000. So we have hit the bottom right now and there are a lot of leg room for us to work back to $50,000 in the first quarter.

I don' think having the current price at $37,083 could be its bottom. But let's wait and see as there are no negative news in the market that could pull the price again. I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but i always believe that the start of the year is mostly the bearish season. And i expect to have a lot of crypto big swings to continue at the start of the year.

If we can pull bitcoin back to $15k or below, then there will be bigger opportunity for us to buy back. But i see the chance is very slim since bitcoin has gained already a wide popularity and huge investors are already into it. However, everything is possible when the bear market starts as we have no control over a volatile market. And when that happens, we can always use it as our advantage.

Many are now experience to look for that matter and for sure once bitcoin reached that far many people will do buy backs knowing that we can earn with it once bitcoin price goes back to its natural pumping track. For now best for anyone to wait for a while since January still questionable month and I prefer to take some action on next month to see if we can see some positive glimpse of little bullish market phase.

That's somehow a huge selloff but I wouldn't think that we can go back on those level again anytime soon unless we really are in a bear market which I doubt. My though is that we are in correction or accumulation phase once again and $30k was somewhere the best and strong support we've got. This level hasn't been broke yet but if so, then, I'd expect anywhere near $15k or $20k once again.

Accept it mate, we might be really in for a bear market.

But I will say that we don't know what will be the lowest low in this bear cycle, of course perma-bears will say that we will see <$10k. But hopefully it will go as low as $15k and no more.

In any case of that huge drop, then maybe it's a good time to buy, no matter what cycle we are in though, buying bitcoin is a good decision and HODL on it for a long time.

As we have seen the bull market of 2021, history has shown there to be a following of a bear market in the next year (2022). What are your thoughts so far and how do you believe it will play out.

This happens everytime , that the market will surely fall after a great year happened after the Halving of bitcoin every 4 years.

so this is a sign that 2022 will be a bearish one and we must be ready.

I think the bear market is still just starting, btc should now be around 16-22k on average price until 2025.

Lol 16-22 k? where this prediction comes from? because that seems to be over devaluing the price of bitcoin

Your thoughts?

Mine is that Bear market is what 2022 will bring and that is what i am expecting .

Your thoughts?

Bull market and Bear market are fundamentals when investing or trading, especially the highly volatile crypto market. The trend of the Bull market and Bear market is a normal cycle because every investor will experience a period of buying and selling the crypto assets they hold for profit. We have seen crypto market euphoria in late 2021, peaking in November BTC hitting a new ATH.
The bull market just happened, You need to make an investment decision. These two market trends require different actions so that you can avoid losses in a bear market and profit in a bull market.

[Chato1977]

Previous year at the similar time bitcoin price was Under $30k.Now bitcoin price around $35k+.I Think bitcoin still movement price correction. Decentralization will be never stable it will pump and dump.I hope bitcoin price will be recover soon and i hope bitcoin price wil be more increase like 2021.

I never thought of this as correction because the stand in pricing has been long for more than a month now so meaning if this is a correction then in End of December it has been corrected but what?
no this is the effect of many issues happening around the globe specially in Peace situation if European country .

Well, that's just how it is if it's gonna be and if that will be the case then I will accept it. I'd say that's the sentiment but as always I'll be on the sideline and watch the move of the market. Permabears will even argue up to the $3k level again we see back in 2018 and 2020 but I'd say it will be a ridiculous move. These drops no matter how it is will always be an opportunity.

I don't know where you get that idea that Bitcoin will be around 16-22k on average price until 2025 you even have a specific date and price range, any speculation which detail date and price should be backed by data and good reasoning and analysis, I don't believe in your analysis it's an analysis of one who wants to create FUD in the market, the market will eventually improve the middle of this year, here is an article that will prove that we'll have a better year this 2022.

It's been incredibly exciting to have a front seat throughout these past couple of years, especially during 2021. And now, the adventure continues.

A Bull Year In Crypto and Blockchain, and The Outlook for 2022

[asrinur]

In the first week of 2022 until now, we saw a bear market happening where the price of bitcoin and altcoins experienced a very deep decline in price. However, entering the third week of January 2022, the crypto market shows the potential to improve. I see the bear market is coming to an end. If the bitcoin price doesn't drop any further from the current price, I believe bitcoin will consolidate in the near term, thus potentially rebounding and bullish.

Cryptocurrency is in very down aspect since January, so i have come across of someone saying that is like the bear market is getting to an end. From my observation it looks like the bear market is not going to end anytime soon because no change or vital signals that indicates that bear market is not effective, Bitcoin is at 36k and since two days now it has been taking the same step of acceleration and probably it may fall back to 30k or retain the regulation of 35k and 38k.

We only have two possible chances, either we go $38,000 or just it dumps again for $35,000.
It was to see that the price trend is not moving high strong, the acceleration had sometimes failed and we were able to see some dumps. But considering the price is over $30,000, I was still not convince that we are in the bearish market, we're still in the near bullish. Maybe this 1st quarter of this year is really challenging and I hope people/investors had remain calm and strong.

If we will focus on the cycle then I think the year 2022 is the year of the bear like what happened in 2018.
Well, I think its not only me who is thinking like this but there are some as well who also thinks that 2022 will be the same as 2018. I might see it the same but I don't think that the percentage drop will also be the same. I believe that this year's percentage drop will be lower than that of 2018.

I think the bear market is still just starting, btc should now be around 16-22k on average price until 2025.

Your thoughts?

Its too low at least for me.

That price average might be the price average of Bitcoin this year or it maybe higher as well depending on what will happen. In the succeeding years, I know that Bitcoin will go up again after this huge downward movement. Well, its your opinion that it will go to that range in the next 3 years but for me it will not happen and its my own opinion . Can you cite some proofs as well or at least say where did you get this opinion of yours .

Yes, that matches perfectly with my narrative, before the last retrace then crypto winter. I remain bearish until the market structure changes. The downward trend on dominance has been broken, so the market will now see its lowest low in this bear cycle. We will likely continue to have a downward trend until the market structure changes, but we have seen bitcoins dominance against altcoins rise.

It is difficult to know, now your observations are correct and this is what happened in the past, but just because that is what we saw back then there is no guarantee this is going to be what we see today, after all the reason the price of bitcoin is going down has nothing to do with bitcoin but with the political instability that we are seeing all around the world and the endless amount of new covid strains, so there is still the possibility that bitcoin goes up in price and we recover from the corrections we have been experimenting.

Truth. We could use history of market fluctuations but that doesn't mean the same thing will happen over and over again. Current events, political views, countries accepting Bitcoin, or even just a tweet from a billionaire could change the movement of one asset like Bitcoin.
Hell, even rumors are something to consider when it is whales who are making it and talking about investing in one coin. Look what happened to Doge in just a short span of time and then Bitcoin. But as far as I know it will never end in a bad way. There will always be that person or group who want to have bitcoin in their wallet and thats a start.
