2022: Bullish or bearish for crypto?

[usekevin]

Ever since the start of January 2022, crypto has been on a bearish trend. There hasn't been any major movement in crypto prices, as the excitement has faded away. It seems to me that the year will be a bearish one (although crypto is widely unpredictable). All eyes are on Bitcoin, as it's the main mover of the market. If Bitcoin goes up, so will Ethereum and other altcoins. Regardless of the price, development is still on-going.

What do you think? Will 2022 be a bearish or bullish year for crypto? Why do you think it'll be that way? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The people who had invested from 2021, had to wait with their assests.Because if they sell at bearish market, it will be the loss for their investment. Since it's normal trade, they can hold for the longer period.The bull will occur after the bear run.Holding at the bear was the fundamental law for the trading.Buy at low and Sell at high was the basic strategy gained by the traders using their experience. It always work, irrespective of all the price variation of bitcoin price.

I think we are still in a bullish momentum,Bitcoin is only having a short correction and it is stable around 40k$ to 43k$ only one good news and the price of Bitcoin is going to sky rocket again. Patience is important this time of price trouble we need to hold and be more patience.

For now, we really have to stay calm and be patient waiting for the developments.
it's still early in the year and there are still many possibilities that can happen in the future,
The most important thing is to just follow the progress first

for now I see no trend. sideways market and there is no sign that the market will move. I think new trends can be predicted when there is news. and currently there is no news to make the market move. but despite all that, my prediction is still the same which is most likely this year will be a bear year.

The beginning of January looks bearish, market has been sideways, probably will remain this way till the end of this month, but i read somewhere that "btc hash rate is at ATH at the moment which means the mining difficulty will be at ATH too" which also indicate a possible bull run, the exact time is not stated but it means the market will not remain bearish for long, there will be a turn around, people just need to be patient.

Agree, it really looks like very bearish at this point. As for the hash rate, the only thing that I read is that it is dropping because of the Kazakhs issue on mining that's why it drop resulting into the price going down as well.

Not sure if it has go back to the normal now or if the electricity problem has been solved in Kazakh because it cornered around 20% of bitcoin mining. So the market looks very negative right now that's why there is no price movement since the start of the year.

I thought there is a Voting that indicated above lol because i am going to vote for Bearish 2022 

- 1st because the recent year(2021) has already delivered so much increase so i think that is enough for a while and wait for another increase in future.

- 2nd the Halving of Bitcoin happens every 4 years meaning from then the market will be remain slow moving again.

these 2 scenario is what i think the reason why there might be a bearish to come .

Inflation will be the main topic of discussion in 2022. Also, the biggest problem due to supply chain management problems can be the wrong monetary policy move which can affect the crypto market as well.  Bank of America says 2022 is going to be bearish, which is the result of "rates shock" in 2020 and "inflation shock" in 2021.  In this context, people can give more importance to the accumulation of capital in 2022, which will prevent new cash money from entering the market. Many experts say the last hope they see is the current billionaire youth whose investment can save the market from collapse.  The world market will also remain unstable in 2022 due to the Russia-Ukraine problem.  Bitcoin may go below 40K or 20k but I don't see any problem. Because Bitcoin must cross 100k, it may not happen this year or in the next two years, but it will happen after the next halving for sure.

I would be realistic, I believe that 2022 is a bullish year. My basis? I based this on the past bull run, after that time, the market has been bearish for years and I think we will see the same thing again. I may not take long but I would rather expect a bear market than expect a bull run that may not come anytime soon, it's very important for decision making.

What developments should be followed now ? other than the market which is still dropping every day there are only a few good projects that everyone can still promote and wish them success, other than that I don't think there is anything to wait for

[Abiky]

It's just 18 days since 2022 has started.

We're not yet even 1/4 of the entire year and for sure there are a lot of things that can happen good for the market. The excitement is gone because it's no longer moving up the way we want it.

But that's fine, the winners are the patient folks in the market and if you're thinking of it as a bearish then it's time for everyone to get ready to buy some more.

Couldn't agree more with you, mate. Patience is rewarding in the long run. I see no hurry on crypto's prices to soar, since it was never been about the money. Everything is just pure speculation these days, so if there's hype, prices will soar like there's no tomorrow. Otherwise, not. I think the excitement is gone, due to negative events in the mainstream world. Things like the Omicron COVID variant and the US' FED adjusting rates for the US Dollar, made the market bearish since the start of the year. 2022 is merely beginning, so I'd say we should wait a little more time to see what happens. Just keep buying and "hodling" coins in order to see great results within the not-so-distant future. Just my opinion

[saladin7000]

2022 is still in its early stages, and we don't know for sure what will happen in the future, whether it will be bull or bearish???, but whatever will happen will all have a good impact on who can take advantage of the situation, I personally am very optimistic that the market will improve this year, therefore we are strongly demanded to always be patient because patience can give very good results in the future.

"It was never about the money" is the most important sentence in the crypto world that many people will not realize. I did not get into crypto because I wanted to make money, I got into crypto because it was a better version of fiat, and it was more fair, and it allowed me to make money. Is it still better than fiat? Yes it is, is it still a technological improvement? Yes it is, is it still fair for everyone equally compared to fiat? Yes it is.

Every single thing that caused me to get into crypto is still the same and as long as people like me are around we are going to have higher and higher prices in the long run. Unfortunately some people miss that point of bitcoin and they just buy bitcoin to hold it and sell it whenever they make some profit, that will never be enough for people and they will end up losing a lot of money because all they care about was money.

[Jose Mourinho]

the beginning of 2022 the crypto market still looks bearish, and until now there is no sign of the market increasing, but I believe crypto users will still wait for the bull market because I firmly believe every crypto user has invested their money with various coins in in 2021 ago with the hope that they can get a profit in 2022,

[X-ray]

I think we are still in a bullish momentum,

What? for real? don't you even see how bitcoin gets another 10% dump again in a short time? is that what you have been calling it as bullish momentum? Ah you may not update with the current condition of crypto market. We have enterded bearish trend since last year. Have you ever spent a few minutes in your life just to take a look at what happened before? if you have not and you must go to the cmc as soon as possible.

Bitcoin is only having a short correction and it is stable around 40k$ to 43k$ only one good news and the price of Bitcoin is going to sky rocket again. Patience is important this time of price trouble we need to hold and be more patience.

The dump already happened since last months and is that what you have called that as a short term correction? This totally a non sense thing for sure. It's almost touching 38k right now. The fundamental is giving a very big impact to the price of bitcoin right now. We are in the bearish mode and the bull trend may not come soon. The worst scenario if we must wait a year or even more for bitcoin to recover.

I think the market will be bearish at the start of the year, and may become bullish at the last quarter of the year since we all witness most of the time bullish season appears at the last quarter. But this is not definitely sure since we don't hold the future what will be crypto market will look like this year. Just a speculation though. But one thing is certain, if the bearish season will be over, maybe this year or early next year, then we will be seeing the bright side of the market which is a good time to sell and enjoy the profits.

[Wahyuihib]

I think so too. because before entering 2022 many predictions argue that in early 2022 crypto prices will experience a good movement. but in fact the price continues to decline until this moment... so we have to wait for the price to get better again

A lot of speculation was born at the end of last year but all of it went very far because of the influence of several big countries trying to hinder the development of cryptocurrencies this year so waiting for good things in cryptocurrencies is really necessary but everyone needs to understand some new things in order to get better ready to face the market.

In my opinion, I believe 2022 will be a bullish year for bitcoin and other altcoins. Although at the moment we are experiencing a bearish season even this has been happening over the months still we have bulls to come to action; from my experience that after each bearish season, there comes a bullish waves and even in all times bitcoin hits ATH as well. It is going to be a bullish year, stay focused. Just buying at the current dips will help to have more bitcoins for cheaper prices in average for all your bitcoin holding. Hence, not missing out the current dips is highly recommended.

[barbara44]

I still believe in bullish. We are in the early days of the year right now and yes we are seeing a bearish run all the time and the market has not been good for a while now. However, people should realize that this is the early days and almost all the time whenever a crash happens, a great return happens after that.

So, I am guessing that we are doing something decent right now, maybe it will be something soon or maybe it will be something later but it will have a good return in the long run, I am sure of that. The year is too early for now, maybe by September of this year we will be 80k? Who knows if we can or cannot?

We all know how 2021 October went, we went from 30k to 68k, we are still way above 30k, which means that just one month like October 2021 would equal us to reach a lot higher prices. That is my hope for the year and hopefully it will happen.

But we are coming from a bear season that time, here, the bull season happened last year and it was able to stay long so I think the bear season might stay longer for the market to correct. We can always make our own basis because the bear season has also basis in the past and that's what is happening right now. Not saying I'm right though, the market is pretty much unpredictable, but I feel that the market will struggle for a while and we have to accept to make the right decision during the bear market.

[izsara]

I think both of them will happen this year We have seen a significant decline and many even say that it is currently in a bearish phase but on the other hand it is only a week in 2022 which means there are still 11 months left for 2022 so it's still enough long time to see bitcoin move.
whatever will happen I think this year will definitely be better than 2021 and maybe even this year we can see bitcoin $100k because it reflects from last year's decline which even reached $28k but bounced back to $60k - $70k. I think in the mirror from there the opportunity is still very wide open here
