BTC Sentiment Poll for September

[tokeweed]

Let's do something different for September's poll instead of the usual yes or no votes.  Anyway..  Looking at the chart below, it seems like BTC at 19k - 20k is being defended pretty well for the last couple of months.  But how long will it last?  Is the bottom finally in for BTC as some of you guys are already saying or does it have one more leg down to go?

Remember, it's all for fun.  Vote what's in your heart of hearts.

What that matters is that the best time to hold is now, bitcoin plummeted from $69000 to $20000, that is a significant bear market. And you know what? The best time to hold is when others are panicking. Remember that 1 BTC equals 1BTC, nothing like liquidation, only what will happen would be unrealized loss if the price of bitcoin decreases further, but it would be happy ending when bitcoin reach all-time-high.

But if it would be fun to predict what the highest and the lowest bitcoin price would be in this month, I presume that bitcoin is not going down below $17000. I may be wrong, but that does not make my statement of holding bitcoin now to be invalid, it is still very valid.

[Jhanzo]

Me thinks this should be the bottom unless shit happens with certain alts that make people lose a little more faith in crypto again.

Things a bit uncertain right now with certain alt "upgrade" which can go either way really quick.

[Lucius]

You ask a difficult question, because both options are possible considering the moment we are in - and these are special economic circumstances that have not been seen at least in the past 40-50 years. Therefore, this is not only a test for Bitcoin, but also for the stock market and for all related markets that face great challenges.

I'm not pessimistic, but at the moment it seems to me that we are closer to $15k, although I don't think it will happen that the price will drop that low (at least not this month). Maybe we will see another attempt to get closer to $25k, but like the first time, it is hard to expect that many will not try to profit and thus bring down the price again. When you are in a bear market, every opportunity for profit is good, no matter how modest it may seem (at least for small investors).

[jackg]

Things a bit uncertain right now with certain alt "upgrade" which can go either way really quick.

Looks like there are a few alts that have coincided their major forks too to around the same time so it might be something that becomes increasingly more interesting (/problematic) to watch. Based on luna's unlocking though, what if we're already priced in for a movement like that (with the lack of upward move on btc beyond $70k)?

What that matters is that the best time to hold is now, bitcoin plummeted from $69000 to $20000, that is a significant bear market. And you know what? The best time to hold is when others are panicking.

$17k is not too far away and it wouldn't be too problematic for us to go that low imo, even the $14k that has been predicted before wouldn't be much of a problem to most that have held so far.

No one's really actually called for the price to halve too which might be an even more positive thing (the lowest I've seen suggested is $10k - which I could imagine would be huge support).

[dragonvslinux]

This month I return to neutral stance. August failed to break the $20K lows and confirm bearish continuation, as well as failing to confirm bullish follow through above $24K after July's bullish close. On the monthly scale, price remains within a range these past two months, so until this range is broken, there isn't much confirmation for capitulation or a rebound to the upside, despite speculators strong convictions.

I otherwise think the first half of the month could end up being quite bearish, with fears of MtGox coins being redistributed. But once retailers recognise that these repayments won't all be at once, and will likely take until the end of the year, then price can start to recover. Not that 10% extra selling pressure in a day would change much, but clearly the fear factor will always be of further capitulation until proven otherwise.

So in summary, I think first half down, second half up, probably ending up back in the neutral zone between $20K and $24K. Ideally above $21K to $22K though  

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I think we’ll trend sideways, perhaps slightly down. We’re in a bit of a crab market atm, lots of indecision. To answer the question in the OP, we will be closer to $15,000 but not by much. I don't think we’ll make a new low but we could touch high 18k.

I think the bottom of this cycle will come before Xmas but I don’t expect it to be in September.

[piebeyb]

just giving a poll for $25k, if the price continues to hold on and rises by the middle of this month I think we will be above $20k again because I'm not sure the price will hit $15k, inh just my opinion it all comes back to market demand

[nurilham]

Voted $15k. But I don't think BTC will hit $15k, the gap is quite big from the current price ($19k). Since Bitcoin didn't drop very significantly in the last two months, I think the possible lowest price for this month is around $17k - $18k.

Well, lately, we rarely heard good news related to Bitcoin. In this matter, I don't see a sign for Bitcoin to rise closer to $25k. Although we don't know what's happening in the next few days, I think there will be no big move in Bitcoin price this month. however, it seems to be more inclined to go down than to go up.

[STT]

25k is more likely as its a prior price we've seen recently.  We can revisit more easily that price then break back to 2019 kind of pricing.    I wont answer absolutely just yet as Im waiting for price action to break something of a triangle.
  Im mildly optimistic as I see we outran a downtrend true since mid August.  If we pass beyond a negative trend, doesnt it go to say we can then rise more easily and recover some of those losses, not sure.  

[serjent05]

I also think BTC will go sideways this September.  There is neither news that can FUD the market nor news that can trigger hype or a FOMO.  This article from Cointelegraph somehow summarizes the current event in BTC market.  So for now there isn't much of activity around BTC that is why I think it will go sideways along the range of $19k - $21k

[Captain Corporate]

Lol, at the time I voted, I was the fifth vote for 25k, it was 5-5 equal to each other. I can't believe that its really that close for people. I am not saying that it will not be possible for 15k to be closer, but it would be quite difficult for the world to see the current situation as "bad" and thats why I am not expecting it to be that bad. What we had just a month ago was around 24k and I am guessing that instead of dropping even further, we will probably reach to a 24k level once again which would be closer to 25k levels. But the fact that it is so tied, means that we are talking about something that is quite good for the crypto because if "known" then its usually a false idea, but when unknown, thats good because you do not have any false ideas.

[AjithBtc]

During the last two years of bitcoin price, there is no big changes over the month. The price of bitcoin during Sep 2020 is around $10k to $10500. During the year 2021, month of September the price was around the range $40k to $49k. Based on the movement over the last two years we're on an average growth. Maybe this will set the market to be stable around $20k through this month.

[sheenshane]

When someone wants to know the price of Bitcoin ahead of time, I always say,  "oh, that's a difficult question" which is the fact.

I voted $15k, but that's not exactly the price that I have in my mind, it might be the price that will play at the $20k range but it will not resist over that within this month.  I guess possible, that the Bitcoin price will bounce back after this correction in the first month of the 4th quarter of this year which is we expect that the Bitcoin price will usually be in a bullish trend during the month of December, IMO.

[Poker Player]

I foresee a lot of boredom, and looking at the poll results, so far 50% for each option, and the responses, I think that's the general trend. We do not know if an unpredictable event this September can give us a great joy or lead the price to pierce lows, but the most likely scenario is that we will stay in a range between the two options in the poll.

[pooya87]

I wanna vote both but it is not possible
That's the "prediction" anyways, it can go both ways but obviously the reality is not changing and it is best summarized by this picture:

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/x6pae2/inflation_relief_packages/

[livingfree]

My thought is that we've seen the bottom already and we're on the support. $19k is likely the strong support and if it breaks down to $18k then we might see the lower of it like lower than $17k.

But whatever it will result at this month, one exciting part is what makes me think that there's more to go up to the end of this year which is always what everyone to see. And if it pass, we're now 1 year away to the halving but since this is just for September, I've voted for $25k.

According to all relevant information, this distribution will not begin in the next 3-6 months, which means that it will not happen until the end of this year. Personally, I think that this information is something that the majority interpreted completely wrongly, because the fear of some 140 000 BTC that will be dumped at some point is complete nonsense. People needed a reason to explain the bear market and they found it, and the fact that their reason is completely meaningless doesn't worry anyone too much.

there is a divided votes , looks like this is the real sentiment of the community and the market as well because there are even fair votes in the poll.

I wanted to see bitcoin going back to 25k but it does not look it will happen this month , instead it will come in the 4th quarter and will go even high.

but actually this does not bother me because I am now ready to keep holding till the end of year.

[bitterguy28]

Looking at the vote counts , there are others that much believing in bitcoin to be falling than increasing this month of September and yeah we cannot blame them as we are now entering the area of 3rd quarter ending out.
so basically the next speculative is the last quarter in which will be starting in the next couple of years.

I also voted for 15k bottoming and also this is what i wanted to happen now , there are extra funds that i wanted to Add to my bitcoin holding so if this to happen then i will be very thankful.

[Yaunfitda]

I don't see the price hitting to $25k though, but at the same time, $15k is overboard for me. So I would say that we maybe somewhere in between, $20k will be a good estimates. I don't see lowest low as I believed that we already hit it at $17,500. If we are going to see the floor price in this bear market, it might be next year 2023. At the same time $25k was the highest we achieved last August but it was not sustainable. And historically, September is not a good month so $20k-$21k is my best guess.

Yeah..  Last month many people were bullish, the month before that was kinda bearish, this month it seems like we are all confused.    The votes are split in the middle as of now but we'll see how it goes in a few days.  But the real 'sentiment' isn't really accurate as we go near the end of the month, so it's prolly a good idea to lock the poll after the first week of the month.

I started the thread a few days late, I should lock the poll in a couple of days.

Anyway, get your votes in guys.  It's all for fun...  No need to be all serious about it.  Lol.

[savetheFORUM]

My thought is that we've seen the bottom already and we're on the support. $19k is likely the strong support and if it breaks down to $18k then we might see the lower of it like lower than $17k.

But whatever it will result at this month, one exciting part is what makes me think that there's more to go up to the end of this year which is always what everyone to see. And if it pass, we're now 1 year away to the halving but since this is just for September, I've voted for $25k. 

I thought the bottom is already seen? So why say that the price can fall below 17k? But for me, I think the bottom is not seen yet because if we are done with it then the price won't fall anymore but we should only see a consistent increase and some stability at better price range. You are right that there's really more to go since we still have 3 months until we finally end this year.

The reason why everyone is excited about it is because this is the last and final quarter of the year. And Usually, this is the time to tell if the the whole year is going to be a bear or if there will still be a bull run that will catch up on the last few minutes. For now, I voted for 15k.

[fzkto]

Traditionally September has been the worst month for cryptocurrencies, but since almost all months are the worst for bitcoin this year. I'll bet that September will be no better. Although I voted that the price will be around 25k, I feel more like we could see a new bottom, especially after today's moves. It seems to me that this momentum has just begun to emerge and soon the price will test the last bottom.

It's volatile.

We might have seen the bottom but if it breaks the price point that I've said then that's how it should be. Like right now, it has broken $19k and just went lower @ $18k.

So, at this moment. We can expect that it can go lower again. Well, pretty much interesting when bitcoin goes down again because it's another moment for the ones who are waiting for its price to be that affordable and cheaper again.

[uneng]

From 20,000$ to 18,000$ in an hour. Sharp drop in btc price looks pretty bad. It's the perfect scenario to spread panic among investors, even among the experienced ones. Without controlling emotions it's easy to think crypto market is over and to develop a depressive behavior at this moment. For many people it's advisable to leave crypto market for a while until things start improving again, otherwise they are going to suffer in a daily basis with such fluctuations in bitcoin's price. Now I'm feeling the athmosphere of 2017-2018 bearish market.

[STT]

Dollar index makes new highs doesnt help the case for higher BTC but I mostly think the longs got tired in BTC so we flaked out and went lower when it could have gone either way in theory.    Now we're lower many will assume the bias is to the downside, such as the 15k target from OP     I dont expect this in one month, however unless we recover our former price action and stay above weekly average then we do appear to have fallen through the ice and gravity leads us down.    Increase confidence as to direction is finding resistance in any attempted price recovery.

[bitterguy28]

indeed , if we will going back years? sepcially after halving? September seems to be the worst month considering that this is the closest to the last quarter that mostly bringing good condition to the market.
lets hope that it wont be bringing more bad this whole month as many of us are seeking for entering or getting out.

[dragonvslinux]

At least it's good to see the current neutral to bearish sentiment here. July most were bearish, and price rallied. August most were bullish (myself included I admit) and price dumped. Now the neutrality is suggesting further consolidation around $20K to $22K accumulation/distribution zone (at least in my mind). But of course the sample size is way too small to give this theory much validity, but just my opinion.

[tokeweed]

^  Yup..  I was expecting a bit more of a bearish sentiment after a bad ending of what would've been a good month.  The first half of August was good at least but staying up above was just not meant to be right now.  Too much stuff going on everywhere with most countries on the brink of a recession.  Hopefully it all turns around by the end of the year.

...  Oh and guys.  Whatever you do, don't look at BTC's rainbow chart.  You won't like it.  :/

[Lucius]

~snip~
Too much stuff going on everywhere with most countries on the brink of a recession.  Hopefully it all turns around by the end of the year.

It is not bad to be optimistic, but the reality is something completely different, although different people from different countries always have different opinions and views on what is happening around us. It is difficult to expect that inflation will stop, especially by the end of the year, and that something more significant will change during the next year. The world is in a big problem, and I am afraid that it will take years to recover, and that if there is a real desire to do so.

The best thing we can do is not to expect too much, because then you will not be disappointed with what will happen. If Bitcoin maintains its current value or increases it by 15-20% by the end of the year, I consider it a success all things considered.

[cabron]

September is always been a good month for BTC. But this could be the first time that it may stumble and disappoint the month. 

Yup there is just too much going on like protest everywhere and Putin shut the Nordstream completely.  Feels like time is ticking and something worse will come.

[Reid]

My vote is for $25,000. I love being optimistic about the market when the Ber months come. Sure, we are in a bad economy and inflations happening in different countries, but I still think people find ways at where they would like to invest their Christmas bonus instead of going to waste with spending it for unnecessary things.
If it's not September, then it must be in October. I wish.

[Baofeng]

September is always been a good month for BTC. But this could be the first time that it may stumble and disappoint the month. 

Not sure about it though, in a bear cycle year, September seems to be negative just like any other months. So I won't be surprised if this is still a disappointment for us.

Yup there is just too much going on like protest everywhere and Putin shut the Nordstream completely.  Feels like time is ticking and something worse will come.

Of course, the war has brought negativity around the world so expect the worst is going to come. The US economy s also not doing good, and then the effect on EU.

So we might see another leg down for this month, not necessarily be another lower lows.

[el kaka22]

It's a shame that people started to think that 15k would be closer due to a few bad days, we could have a few good days and not only be close to 25k but could even reach there. People are way too non-supportive of bitcoin and its price increases, we shouldn't consider it being like a bear market forever type of deal, we are not crashing and burning, it is just a bad day and it will be over quickly.

I still have hopes that by the end of the month we are going to be closer to 25k than we are closer to 15k, that is not changing. I know we have waited for nearly a full year since the last ATH, but wait a little longer and we are going to start seeing a huge bull run very soon, like 40k+ levels of bull run.

[LogitechMouse]

Looks like most people are having a sentiment that Bitcoin will go down to $15,000.
I'm at the opposite side or at least I'm one of the few people here that believes that Bitcoin will not reach $15,000 regardless of what is happening right now.

The start of September is bad because it went down below $20,000 and has been there for days already but nevertheless, for some reasons I don't believe that Bitcoin will reach the $15,000 level but at the same time, I don't also believe that it will reach the $25,000 price range as well. Near $20,000 might be the best option because I believe that Bitcoin will go above $20,000 by the end of the year and it can happen realistically .

Well, it's understandable that people are very bearish as of this moment because we are in a bear market but at the end of the day, we are all speculating .

[Beparanf]

October usually the start of Bull market even on previous years. It’s logical that Bitcoin price should plummet first before it will gain a strong momentum for bullish movement. Technical Analysis suggest that we might see another low which is lower than 17,500 or 15,000. This is necessary to have a strong foundation and shake off all the pleb traders that gaining on small movement of the market. Having a dump near 10,000$ is a strong foundation for a longer bullish cycle rather than having a short price pump too often.

[Wexnident]

I'm more on the stance that we'd end up at around $22,23k levels. We had a pretty good half month last month, ended up going down at the end though so I don't exactly expect the market to have any big moves, a neutral increase to above $20k would be at most what I would go for. I don't think we'd end up going down to $15k though, hopefully. The past week has had its dip but the market pretty much went back up to where it was before the said dip.

[Kemarit]

It's a shame that people started to think that 15k would be closer due to a few bad days, we could have a few good days and not only be close to 25k but could even reach there. People are way too non-supportive of bitcoin and its price increases, we shouldn't consider it being like a bear market forever type of deal, we are not crashing and burning, it is just a bad day and it will be over quickly.

I guess people vote on what is the current sentiment are. We also have good days last August, the price move to $25,000 and if I'm not mistaken 2x-3x. But it was not maintain and then it went to a lows of $18,000 because of pressure from the bears.

So most likely they voted based on that run. And who knows, maybe we will reach $25,000 again and goes on another rally to $28k. But so far, we even had a hard time to breach $20,000. So that is the first barrier that we have to go through this month.

[Oasisman]

Judging on Btc price action since the huge dip, it looks like Btc did not hit $25k nor drop below $15k after that.
So, I have not seen any relevant new that would potentially create a Bitcoin run. I believe we still continue to see Btc price going back and forth around $21k - $17k or 18k. Just like what we usually see these days.
On the brighter side even if Btc falls $15k or below, that will be a huge opportunity for everyone to accumulate though.

[Wind_FURY]

I voted $25,000. Bitcoin will SURGE. It's SURGE-SEPTEMBER my dear fellow plebs!

Judging on Btc price action since the huge dip, it looks like Btc did not hit $25k nor drop below $15k after that.

I believe it might take more time before we can purchase Bitcoin below $20,000 again. This month, Bitcoin will probably have one of its best positive months for the current bear market cycle. Those people who sold just gave their precious Bitcoin away to the whalecumulators and the billionaires. Hahaha. Or, if they bought back after they sold upon learning their mistake, they are holding less Bitcoin.

[arufox]

In my opinion, since the first week of September bitcoin is still in the $20k-$19k price range, but in the last few days, the price of bitcoin has started to increase where bitcoin is currently trading at $22k. Therefore I see the current bull run to continue this month until the bitcoin price reaches above $25k again.

[Gozie51]

Therefore I see the current bull run to continue this month until the bitcoin price reaches above $25k again.

Your expectation is not far from a lay man speculation on the price of bitcoin as the price today was a little on the upside and it is normal to expect that the price will keep climbing to maybe $23k or $25k for a short bull stop before another move is taken. Price is currently at $22,343 by this closing day, maybe by tomorrow we may see the continued volatility like today showing to push price more within the range of $23k.

[Captain Corporate]

I know crypto is volatile but we do not have to expect a volatile result at all times. Sometimes we can be volatile and sometimes we could be normal without a trouble. Maybe it will go from 22k to 40k, or maybe it will end the month at 23k, these are all possible things. Which is why I honestly expect the month to be wild, not going to know what exactly happened and that is why I believe that we shouldn't be really making a calculation based on what we imagine, that would not result with anything good. Just calculate how much that we possibly could lose or earn, and make a prediction based on that by taking less risk for bigger reward if you can.

[STT]

I voted 15k based on the month opening and here Iam today 12 days in not even half way and appearing quite wrong because we have reversed most of the losses seen in the sharp drop off of last August.  22.5k is about the gap window for that event and 23k and holding higher will confirm a gap close meaning we regained all of the losses without any special exploration or explanation why it should sell so sharply.   
  Overall markets continue to be positive with a weaker Dollar index today, perhaps its all about the Ukraine advances and we are that simple for now.  Usually any movement requires confirmation for completion in that lower or higher price.  For now we gone around the block and we'll have to see if it can hold the gains, we did avoid the June low though which adds to positive take overall.

[proudhon]

The price is guaranteed to go back under $20k before the end of the month. Easiest poll of my life.

[peter0425]

Am not sure if i voted correctly but I put mine according to my understanding and experience in this market for years because mostly after the Bull year that the market will send negativities and also makes the 3rd quarter the lowest month of the year.
so basically ? in  September there is a dumping and also October is coming and we knew that this is a trend setter month most of the time.
so changes will take part after this month.

The price is guaranteed to go back under $20k before the end of the month. Easiest poll of my life.

very practical speculation and prediction , as we have seen this happened in July and August that price drops below 20k and recovers again in some time  lol.

[Wind_FURY]

The price is guaranteed to go back under $20k before the end of the month. Easiest poll of my life.

It will? WHEN? That would be another golden opportunity for us plebs to Buy the DIP, and HODL like it was Christmas. It's not everyone who has unlimited fiat, and who can DCA consistently. We plebs need to be more efficient with our capital. Plus the mental stress to HODL a loss is not for everyone.

[RealMalatesta]

I know crypto is volatile but we do not have to expect a volatile result at all times. Sometimes we can be volatile and sometimes we could be normal without a trouble.

Just calculate how much that we possibly could lose or earn, and make a prediction based on that by taking less risk for bigger reward if you can.

I really do not care about ETH merge or mt.gox distribution or anything else, it doesn't matter to me because I have just one thing that I care about in this long grind which is having as many bitcoins as possible.

I get that not many people can see the profit in this and not understand how it's done but the reality is that we can't really let this be a normal thing just because there are some bad news doesn't mean we should run, if we run every time there is a bad news then we are not going to end up with a good result at all and that is going to be a problem. I personally prefer to stay and fight and accumulate more and wait until the price goes up.

Too much stuff going on everywhere with most countries on the brink of a recession.  Hopefully it all turns around by the end of the year.

It is not bad to be optimistic, but the reality is something completely different, although different people from different countries always have different opinions and views on what is happening around us. It is difficult to expect that inflation will stop, especially by the end of the year, and that something more significant will change during the next year. The world is in a big problem, and I am afraid that it will take years to recover, and that if there is a real desire to do so.

The best thing we can do is not to expect too much, because then you will not be disappointed with what will happen. If Bitcoin maintains its current value or increases it by 15-20% by the end of the year, I consider it a success all things considered.

I guess by nature I'm innately optimistic.  It's always about the silver lining.  But ok, 'realistically speaking', what will the bottom for BTC look like for you?  Will it drop to 12k - 15k or did we already see the bottom come in at 17.5 k - 18k?

Anyway...  I wanted to go offline for a while and spend some time by myself with no internet, TV, social media, markets, charts, etc...  And the minute I go home I check the charts it's all bleeding red.  :/  What did you guys do?  Ugh.

Actually I did the same, not just because I wanted to, but I was sick (food poisoning) in the last 24 hours.

And then when I log-in, surprised to see that the market is bleeding, including stock market. And from what I understand, it has something to do with the Fed's announcement again.

Nevertheless, we just need to stay calm, we still have 2 weeks at least this September and who knows, we might not be as bearish as we expected it to be.

[Silberman]

I know crypto is volatile but we do not have to expect a volatile result at all times. Sometimes we can be volatile and sometimes we could be normal without a trouble. Maybe it will go from 22k to 40k, or maybe it will end the month at 23k, these are all possible things. Which is why I honestly expect the month to be wild, not going to know what exactly happened and that is why I believe that we shouldn't be really making a calculation based on what we imagine, that would not result with anything good. Just calculate how much that we possibly could lose or earn, and make a prediction based on that by taking less risk for bigger reward if you can.

I really do not care about ETH merge or mt.gox distribution or anything else, it doesn't matter to me because I have just one thing that I care about in this long grind which is having as many bitcoins as possible.

I get that not many people can see the profit in this and not understand how it's done but the reality is that we can't really let this be a normal thing just because there are some bad news doesn't mean we should run, if we run every time there is a bad news then we are not going to end up with a good result at all and that is going to be a problem. I personally prefer to stay and fight and accumulate more and wait until the price goes up.

And this is the right attitude to have, as in everything in life at some point we need to take a decision and then we need to stick with it, it is incredibly easy to second-guess yourself over and over again about whether or not the decision to buy bitcoin was correct or not, but at some point this needs to stop and you either get out of this market for good and never come back or you stop yourself from having those doubts and you begin to accumulate bitcoin when it's cheap, and without a doubt the second option is the best one we have available, but if someone is unable to deal with the volatility of this market then maybe they should pick the first choice and sell their coins.

Yeah lots of folks here would deny it, not sure why, but BTC and most of crypto is closely more correlated that what anybody around these parts would tell you.  Everytime US session starts if stocks bleed, crypto bleeds too.  Switch to hourly and just look at what happened.  BTC was grinding sideways til the US market opened making it go down again.  Sadly Asia session is mostly gone as China already banned trading crypto.  

Anyway sentiment seems mixed with 17 votes saying 25k and 21 votes saying 15k.

[ethereumhunter]

I think we still have a chance to see the price drop below $20k before the end of this month but hopefully, it can stay in its current price range. We should try to adapt based on where the market is going and take the opportunities for our benefit so that if the price goes down, we can buy more than before.

By doing so, we can definitely smile as the price slowly starts to increase again, so it will be time for us to make profits again.

[fzkto]

There is not much left before the previous bottom. I think it is realistic to break it, if only negative news around and stock markets fall regularly. I even think that the main thing this year is not to break the last bottom and go even lower, for example to the 10k area. On the chart you can clearly see the support line, which bitcoin is about to break through.

[proudhon]

The price is guaranteed to go back under $20k before the end of the month. Easiest poll of my life.

By doing so, we can definitely smile as the price slowly starts to increase again, so it will be time for us to make profits again.

And we have already but I can't just think we will reach $15k. I just think that $18k is the bottom price of Bitcoin.
As we enter the BER months, we might expect an upward market position until December. We have had this kind of trend in previous years which is why I'm still confident that we still go that way. Currently at $20,330 at this post as per recorded on the CMC that makes me think that $25k is somewhat possible or even close to it.

I also hope the price does not drop to $15k and stays in its current price range or drops a bit. But whatever happens, I do not think too much about it and try to follow its direction and use it to my advantage. For now, my position is still waiting to see what happens to the bitcoin price as I am still hesitating to enter the market. But if $18k is really the lowest price in the future, I think that is when I go into the market and buy some satoshis. Meanwhile, the price now seems to get a correction and tends to remain in a sideways position because the price does not show a significant decline.

[btc78]

though there are so many negative things that coming around the world from News to actual happening ? yet I will still believe in that there will be 25k to come this month , yeah in August we reached that yet there will be more to come from this month.

but still hoping that 10k will not come our way mate because this will truly bring frustration from my part because of my bullish belief and also for my incoming withdrawal this month.

but even in the last month Bitcoin already drops down to 17k instead of 18k so how much are we expecting dip this year? maybe there are opportunities to grow but not in September month .
there will be going to either increase or decrease? but of course we will see betterment before the year ends? is this best to believe or lose our hopes?
I love to see the market shows this way but i wanted to earn of course where to or when to take out our money.

[P2PECS]

but even in the last month Bitcoin already drops down to 17k instead of 18k so how much are we expecting dip this year? maybe there are opportunities to grow but not in September month .

I don't know but what I don't see is the price clearly going up in the next few months. I think there will be some timid rises, inherent to volatility, and that at the slightest negative news, which is likely in the scenario in which we find ourselves, the price will fall again, as has happened recently.

For September specifically, I believe that the remaining half of the month is going to be like the first half. We will continue to hover around $20k, a little bit up a little bit down.

[aylabadia05]

Let's do something different for September's poll instead of the usual yes or no votes.  Anyway..  Looking at the chart below, it seems like BTC at 19k - 20k is being defended pretty well for the last couple of months.  But how long will it last?  Is the bottom finally in for BTC as some of you guys are already saying or does it have one more leg down to go?

Remember, it's all for fun.  Vote what's in your heart of hearts.

Closer to $25K.
I'm not sure Bitcoin price at the end of September will be below $16K even though anything is possible, meaning I'm still very optimistic that Bitcoin can pass the toughest test of the year.

Many experts provide analysis related to Bitcoin price conditions. Some of them consider the cost base. This concerns both short-term investors and long-term investors. Usually, short-term investors have a lower cost base than those who choose long-term. That's why I believe the end of September the price of BTC could approach $25K.

[TheGreatPython]

The price is guaranteed to go back under $20k before the end of the month. Easiest poll of my life.

It will? WHEN? That would be another golden opportunity for us plebs to Buy the DIP, and HODL like it was Christmas. It's not everyone who has unlimited fiat, and who can DCA consistently. We plebs need to be more efficient with our capital. Plus the mental stress to HODL a loss is not for everyone.

You should have some sort of salary for that, which means that you need to have a job. If you have a job then you will have a salary, and when you have an income you have expenses as well, there is only so much you could go down on your spending so try to focus on finding a way to make even more money.

Like you have a legendary account, that could earn as much as 100 bucks in certain campaigns, or at least 60-70 dollars most of the time, which means that you could put that into bitcoin (or usually paid in bitcoin anyway) and then it is a DCA method for you, you worked and got it at certain price, and that drops it, this is just one idea, you could expand on it. Shortly drop your spending and increase your earning and that difference should go to bitcoin.

[yudi09]

Very hard to choose. But my OP chose $25K.

My choice is because I believe this difficult period will end even though the Bitcoin price is on the $19.7K price chart.
Last week on September 9 the Bitcoin price headed towards $22K on September 13. In just a few days improvement can occur. After being at the price of $22K, BTC has declined again until now.

Nothing is certain and for sure Bitcoin is a certainty of the future.

I think we will be in the middle of 20k as the price at the end of December seems there will be no movement at all in the sense that a decline to $15k will not happen, an increase to $25k is very difficult to break, so my preference is that bitcoin is still holding up for the current price.

While the price of $22K did not last long and the price returned to 20k, my prediction is like that there is no sentiment that will show that bitcoin can move for now even though we don't know later.

This hard time will end because nothing can forever stay on one side. The bear market will surely end soon and will be replaced by a bull market and once it starts to show, the bitcoin price will start to climb and get pumped to higher prices. We've seen it happen before and it will happen again in the future. So even though there will be movement every month, the price of bitcoin will increase again and that's when we will get a bigger profit than now.

Continue to be patient and look for opportunities to buy low at this point because when the low price has started to increase, our chance to make a profit will appear and it will be up to us when to take that profit. And with the price now down again, we have an opportunity to buy more bitcoin but we need to be careful because the price goes down lower than the price now.

That is a possibility too, as it seems the different traders and investors are having problems trying to determine the direction bitcoin is going to take next, still even if that were to happen then this will be just delaying the inevitable, at some point the market will have to take a more clear direction, and even if I don’t like it if I were to guess which direction bitcoin will take next I think there are more chances that the price will go down instead of up.

[yhiaali3]

I expect Bitcoin to be at 25k$ and below by the end of September, which means it could maintain the price between 20-25k$ until at least another two months. I expect the volatility of the bitcoin price to continue at this price level until about November, at which time we may see an exit from this level for higher points, I hope.
As for the bottom, I think we have already reached it and there will be no new bottom lower.

If bitcoin continues to hold in the middle of 20k as you say at the end of the month, that means when the Fed continues to announce new interest rates then I think that will be a hit and can say we bottomed and there is no price lower in this bear cycle. Bitcoin fell rapidly a few days ago just because of CPI, so I am quite pessimistic about the upcoming rate hike.
I think the price will fall more than sideways or up. I predict we will be hit hard and the price will drop below $18k once again.

Hopefully your wishes will come true, but know that when what you hope for has not been achieved, then don't regret Bitcoin. Because not all expectations can happen according to someone's wishes so you also need to be patient while acting to buy it (Bitcoin) every time you have the ability to do so, so you can more quickly see the hope you want in Bitcoin. Because I even expected more than that, but it would be difficult if someone could only put it into words.

For the end of December, I think I can pass the estimated price you mentioned. But if there's only 2 weeks left in September, I think a mid-$20K price tag is more suitable even though anything is possible.

We have to believe this situation will end, but without paying attention to the situation we can't see the potential for what will happen comrade. In terms of buying, I don't think you have to wait for the price to drop again from the current price.

that is very early to tell mate , the thread asks about September sentiment and you are talking about even until december ?
that is now how we answer the crypto market sentiment lol.

it did not even stay long at 20k because just hours ago ? 19k is the maintaining price of Bitcoin that damages the whole altcoin world now.

I won't debate that there won't be another crash down, because there's some probability that it will crash under $18,000. BUT I will tell my fellow plebs that another crash down will look very familiar. Weekly chart, zoom out, look for January to August 2015.

This is a historical show of Bitcoin price data from September 1 to 16.



The current (September 17, 2022, 06:38:36 PM) Bitcoin price is $20,040. Earlier I saw that it was at a price of $ 20,147. I believe the price of Bitcoin at the end of September will be under $25K or between $22K and $23K.

^That is a reasonable amount and I agree with this, it could be BTC's price will still on that price range but it will never go down beyond $15k and it will never up to the $25k price range of BTC. The BTC price struggled too much by this year, we did not see a bullish market and when the market will pump a little, the next day it will have a correction. It seems this correction will take longer on the BTC price and it is hard to move forward.
However, it does matter to me what is the price today or tomorrow, I am holding my BTC for a long-term purpose and I did not even look at the market chart daily.

September will be under $25K or between $22K and $23K.
What do you think?

it is not bad to look at it that way but what we are seeing now is even worst , the Ethereum Merging did not bring any increase either bitcoin or altcoins if this continues then what we can expect is even lower than 22k or maybe will go under 20k again.
and besides the deciding factor mostly happens in the last quarter and that is the month after this September so lets be realistic and expect not so good response this Month .

[arufox]

In my opinion, since the first week of September bitcoin is still in the $20k-$19k price range, but in the last few days, the price of bitcoin has started to increase where bitcoin is currently trading at $22k. Therefore I see the current bull run to continue this month until the bitcoin price reaches above $25k again.

Your expectation is not far from a lay man speculation on the price of bitcoin as the price today was a little on the upside and it is normal to expect that the price will keep climbing to maybe $23k or $25k for a short bull stop before another move is taken. Price is currently at $22,343 by this closing day, maybe by tomorrow we may see the continued volatility like today showing to push price more within the range of $23k.

We are currently in the 3rd week of September and the bitcoin price continues to decline where currently the bitcoin price is at $19k-$18k. Usually, September is a red month for the crypto market, so it seems difficult for bitcoin to reach a price above $23k until the end of this month.

[STT]

Today the pricing has been in a fair recovery, back above 12hr average but not sustaining above the 2 day average.  Its purely a trading flush right now, as always it must develop and build a stairway higher.   So right now minimum to be positive and stay positive would be the mid 19k area.   If we dont achieve that it could lead to further selling as hopes in this current small rally are snuffed out.
   It was quite alot more negative early morning, it faltered and fell below early Sept low.   Now its back on its feet, it must not cross the line, I drew that conclusive boundary at 18.8k  to match June and the larger picture; dont want to see it leaving the road by straying that far from the action of the last few months.

[Roman_Picisan]

A difficult choice to choose. $15,000 doesn't make me sure it will happen. $25,000 seems likely. If there was another choice, then I would choose $23,000 Bitcoin price at the end of September because September is only 11 days away. Bitcoin is currently trading at $19.1K.

[BitcoinHodler]

the market is so wild these days taking the opportunity from HODLERs who want to buy bitcoin at times like this. we are getting greedy wanting to wait more

Without a doubt it seems way more likely that we are going to close below be 20k level at the end of September, even if a great deal of the people in this forum would like for bitcoin to close above that level we are not numerous enough to influence the price to go up in such a short amount of time, now it is true that the volatility of bitcoin is huge and as such this could happen, but when I take a look at how the price has been moving recently I think it makes more sense that at the end of the month the price is closer to the 15k level than the 25k level.

[tokeweed]

^  Yup...  From the looks of it, it's not looking good right now.  And if it does end up closing around the range near 15k, I don't think we could discount that it could close near 12k in the coming months.  This sucks.  I never thought BTC would go this low and start entertaining the idea that 12k is possible.

... As for the poll, who knows.  There's still 10 days left until the month ends.  There's always a chance BTC could close above 20k.

Without a doubt it seems way more likely that we are going to close below be 20k level at the end of September, even if a great deal of the people in this forum would like for bitcoin to close above that level we are not numerous enough to influence the price to go up in such a short amount of time, now it is true that the volatility of bitcoin is huge and as such this could happen, but when I take a look at how the price has been moving recently I think it makes more sense that at the end of the month the price is closer to the 15k level than the 25k level.

Unfortunately we do not have the power to change the price, or at least we are not organized enough. There are many people here, people who own websites, news sites, casinos and even exchanges, which means that if all of bitcointalk members who wants bitcoin to go up got together somehow, and decide to pump it somehow, then we could afford to make it go up, not just by buying, we would be able to do that as well but by hyping it as well, and if we did that it would work.

But unfortunately we are disorganized and we do not move like a unit, and that is why it doesn't end up being a good return for anyone, obviously it is normal for us to not get organized like that, but it is sad to know we could, but we won't.

[TravelMug]

^  Yup...  From the looks of it, it's not looking good right now.  And if it does end up closing around the range near 15k, I don't think we could discount that it could close near 12k in the coming months.  This sucks.  I never thought BTC would go this low and start entertaining the idea that 12k is possible.

... As for the poll, who knows.  There's still 10 days left until the month ends.  There's always a chance BTC could close above 20k.

But with the new fed rate hike looming, the crypto market has suffered another bleeding in the last 24 hours. And the price currently is below $19k again. Hopefully, we won't get to the levels of $15k as what some voters put in this poll.

And if I'm not mistaken, there is a bitcoin future contract expiration near the end of the month? So this could be another factor that could bring the price down again. So who knows, $20k is the support line that we wanted to maintain, unfortunately, this month it's getting harder by the day to go to that price because of so much selling going on because of the negative news.

The number of days in September means that there are only 8 days left. Bitcoin is currently at $19k. The highest Bitcoin price in seven days is $20.18K.
If you look at the price statistics in 1m, 8 days is not a long time for Bitcoin to reach the price as stated in the vote you submitted.



Regardless of your analysis, Bitcoin can still reach and even exceed the highest price that happened in September.

While this is definitely playing into people's minds when buying/selling Bitcoin. This is likely to be very short term. People will get over it in the longer term. So, while September is looking rather grim at the moment, I suspect in the next poll we'll see some more positivity. I don't know how long it'll take to get out of this slump since there's a number of things going on that's basically effected every single economy out there. However, I still remain positive that next year we'll be resting at a slightly higher amount than we are here.

The long term, I've still got a extremely positive outlook on things, despite our setbacks this year.

[Fundamentals Of]

The end of September, of this ghost month, might not really be as horrifying as it seemed when the month just started. I guess September would just be another ordinary month following the equally bearish August. I think the price would still play around $20,000. Bitcoin wouldn't probably rally towards $25,000 but won't also fall too far toward $15,000. I think things would remain to fluctuate along the middle of both amounts.

While I think you have a point when you say that the members of this forum have enough power to make the price of bitcoin to go up if they were able to organize themselves, at the same time I think it will be a mistake to do something like this, it is better to let the price of bitcoin to move naturally without trying to make any kind of manipulation, because at the end it does not matter how powerful we are as a group since at some point the money is going to run out and a crash will be inevitable at that point.

True, if we look at the polls, $15k is what we thought that price will be this ghost month. But we did close to it, or not. $18k was the lowest, give or take. And then we have a good moment today, thanks to the news about XRP which has a trickle effect to the whole crypto market, bitcoin goes above $19k again.

But we still have a couple of days before we officially closes this month, so we might be around $19k-$20k and yes, it just could be the normal bear  months that we have been experiencing.

September of last few years and September of 2022 are not the same. The current month of September is passing through various adverse conditions. Bitcoin is also forced to fall below $19K due to bearish cryptomarkets. Moreover, various negative Fed statements are bound to keep the cryptomarket under more pressure. However, since September is almost at the end, we can see the crypto market in a bit of an uptrend in the coming month. Probably it will be above $20K with in next month.

No, we still have a lot more than just a couple of days before September officially closes. There is still a week left at least. A lot of things could still happen within this final week. But if there isn't anything surprising that would significantly affect the market, I don't think there will be a big rally or a big fall. We'll probably just be closing this ghost month and head on to October with the price not moving much, probably just around $20,000.

The big movements will probably come in the last quarter.

You guys think there's a high chance we get another leg down or nah?  With all the stuff that's going on, I'd say yes.  But then again it's the bottom of the range and it could bounce just like the last time at June...  What do you guys think?

I would say it wasn't really that much of a big difference. September of last year was a period when we were low as well, go ahead and check the price, it was under 30k, and in October we were over 60k, which shows you that it took us just one month to go 2x and that is something we have the power to do at any time. This is why I believe that we should be focusing on the future, not the current situation.

This means that we shouldn't really be worried about this deal at all, I am not really worried about the current price, it may look bleak for the time being but just one big increase and we would be able to see it doing a lot better in the future.

I don't know. I'm not even sure how much of an influence these US decisions will have. I'm so used to US news dominating the news (seriously I know more about what's happening in the US, than the UK), that I've always thought that basically anything that happens in the US changes the way we think worldwide. I'm hoping that's not the case with Bitcoin, it shouldn't be highly dependant on the US market, although I'm likely just kidding myself there.

Obviously, the  fear from it will have an effect, but I'm hoping that even in the short term people just ignore it, and carry on how they were. Obviously, the recession is goinng to limit that normal routine quite a bit, but I've also noticed that generally people become outraged, scared or excited, and then it quickly passes. I've described this as the goldfish attention span in the past, and that's what I'm hoping happens with Bitcoin, after these announcements. The thing is with the recession you're in it, so you're constantly feeling it. These announcements which are partly related, but I do believe the build up to these discussions are much worse for Bitcoin, than the actual verdict. If that makes any sense at all. Obviously, I'm not involved as much in American happenings.

While you are right and those which are long term holders have nothing to worry about, the truth is that those which invested during the all time high 10 months ago are going to have a lot of problems holding their coins even if they know this, after all even if we know that eventually a new bull run will come once we get closer to the halving, we are still very far away from that day and as such they could sell their coins out of desperation, as the market will take a long time before it recovers.

A table trend of btc $18k to $20K is being observed for September month. There is no assumption of making large movement. Only 4 days left for this month. However, BTC may rise slightly in the coming month of October. But it is easy to understand that the price will not be too high. We are already seeing the Ukraine Russia war take a new turn with the threat of using nuclear weapons. Nothing good can be expected at that moment.

I am expecting that the months of October, November, and December will give us something to be happy about. I still think that 2022 will have a good closing price. October might not be the best month within the year but this upcoming last quarter might be better than the previous months as a slight recovery might be seen.

I think the tide has already turned in favor of Ukraine as far as the war is concerned. Forget about the threat of using nuclear weapons. This was already a threat earlier. Russia won't do that. It will only make it lose more.

[kotajikikox]

its almost  a week before the September sentiments will be proclaimed yet the votes seemingly divided into 2?

wondering what would be coming as the 25k is hardly to reach within the week time .

and also there are several threads that talking about market continuously dumping as the month going to end.

but of course there is a more to come in October and of course till december.

I believe we can still close closer to 25k. It's over 20k right now and it looks green for the whole week, nothing bad happened. It means that we could see it go 1k more and that would make it over 20k and that’s closer to 20k then 15k.

It’s clear that it has been quite 50-50% for all of us and that is why it was hard to decide, I can't say what was the main reason and how it got here, it’s clear that we had some hard time. Market failed to decide, how could we? It has been over and under 20k multiple times which means that market is not sure about seeing it closer to one than the other as well, if people are not sure about it with their money, how could they be sure here.

[STT]

Recent top is the trend for lows upto end of August, it was the prior regular bottom before we failed in that recovery attempt multiple times, now its the ceiling for today at least.    Price reset back to below the weekly trend so we start over having lost those speculators who only want to bet on prices for hours upto a day maybe.

[bbc.reporter]

@STT. The whole cryptospace market has been showing that on 2021 the reality was the market was in a bubble ready to pop. Everything was pumped by using borrowed money through leverage and with much of the people having lost their money. The people who might have money will move out of the cryptospace and use it for their needs.

Also, those who want to bet on prices for hours up to a day are only the market makers trading against you. Do not trade in this type of market.

Nah, I don't see $25k near the horizon at the end of the month. And I'm not sure as well if we are going to hit $20k since the market is around $19,400-$19,500. But it's good though to see the price above $19k, as last week we are barely holding on that price.

It’s clear that it has been quite 50-50% for all of us and that is why it was hard to decide, I can't say what was the main reason and how it got here, it’s clear that we had some hard time.

It's almost 50/50 because that's how majority see the market movement. There is no break out run, yeah we went as high as $22k and then trying to break the next barrier of $25k. But there is no momentum and it's a bull trap if we are going to look at at. And so let's look forward for October, but let me start that I'm also not seeing any major price jump and break out runs.

Sep 01, 2022 Bitcoin price opens $20,050.50, high $20,198.39 and low $19,653.97.

Today is Friday, September 30, 2022, the statistics of Bitcoin's movement in a matter of 24 hours shows the high price of BTC is at $20,109.85 and I'm sure that number will change again.

There's still a few hours left before September is over or October is coming. It seems likely that Bitcoin's September high will not reach $25,000.

Let's welcome the BTC sentiment poll for October

[ShowOff]

Sep 01, 2022 Bitcoin price opens $20,050.50, high $20,198.39 and low $19,653.97.

There's still a few hours left before September is over or October is coming. It seems likely that Bitcoin's September high will not reach $25,000.

There were several attempts to reach the $23K price tag, but unfortunately it failed. Fortunately, however, speculation about a possible drop below $18K was broken during September and in fact $18.5K has been a strong support so far. I don't think there's another big correction for the few hours before september ends, it's kind of improbable.

We're going into October in a few hours, hopefully that's a good start to the market's recovery for the rest of the year. But I think the bears will persist for the rest of the year, but there's nothing wrong to think about the possibility of the price hitting $25K or more.

Not that bad to end the month on $19,500, at least based on the choice of $15k, we didn't reach that price, neither though the $25k that the OP has put.

And what it means is that we are back to square one at least, almost $20k. And as the pattern emerges, we will not see a spike, or the next target of $25k. Pressure is there in the market, whether FUD or negative news, investors are going to sell. Last 3 months might be the same, numbers around $18k-$22k I guess.

[kotajikikox]

I think its time to Move to another thread as we will be having the October sentiment ?  19k is still a good action for bitcoin as we are expecting more low than that.

Will be loving to post in the next month prediction , because as recorded at 4th quarter? this has been one of the best month and start of the deciding factor for the year .
