What are we expecting between now and Bitcoin halving?

[shield132]

First bull run coming up for me and after seeing the price of Bitcoin rally in the last few months particularly it is getting me somewhat excited for what is to come over the next few years.

I am just wondering what we are all expecting between now and the Bitcoin halving in April next year. Is it going to be a steady climb till then or is there usually a crash of some kind?

Up until now I have just been buying throughout the bear market and not sold anything , my portfolio is currently 26% in profit which I am happy with but wondering if I should keep holding till past the bull run or take some profits now.

It's very hard to say whether there will be a crash or not. Logically, there should be a crash but if Bitcoin finally gets ETF approval, that means that a lot of money will be put into Bitcoin market cap, e.g. the demand for Bitcoin will skyrocket and it will cause a massive price increase. At the same time, there is a haling in 2024 and soon after the halving there will be a huge bull run. I also expect that many big corporations and businesses will adopt Bitcoin.
To be fair, it's very hard to predict what will happen soon but long term, it's guaranteed to increase in price. If I were you, I wouldn't risk and I would hold it long-term, till 2025's summer at least. Just be careful that when the price increases, the time will come for the bubble to explode.

First bull run coming up for me and after seeing the price of Bitcoin rally in the last few months particularly it is getting me somewhat excited for what is to come over the next few years.

This is also my first bull run and I am just happy to experience it. The journey was a fearful one because it was filled with a lot of suspense. The price of Bitcoin was very volatile, events like the fall of some exchanges and the war in Ukraine made the price unstable and sometimes you are tempted to sell your investment. But this season has been enjoyable because the price keeps increasing, even after a drop.  

I am just wondering what we are all expecting between now and the Bitcoin halving in April next year. Is it going to be a steady climb till then or is there usually a crash of some kind?

I don't think anybody can successfully predict the price of Bitcoin because the price is affected by many factors making it unpredictable. The closest prediction that I have ever seen in this forum is ImThour's My Best Bitcoin Chart Ever. There might be more accurate predictions but this is the one I could lay my hands on.

Up until now I have just been buying throughout the bear market and not sold anything , my portfolio is currently 26% in profit which I am happy with but wondering if I should keep holding till past the bull run or take some profits now.

The decision to buy or sell depends more on you than anybody. Everybody's plan is not the same because everyone has a selling or buying price. Most predictions are saying that the price will keep going high because there are possibilities that Bitcoin spot ETF will be approved and next year's halving will have a positive impact on the price of Bitcoin. But like I said if you are okay with your profit, you can sell but you might also make more profit if you keep it longer.

Between now and halving, it is expected that we should hold as much as possible as we could, try to secure our asset on a personal wallet which is a non custodial wallet, hold and await the bullrun to begin before we may plan on releasing, we should also take away every forms of FOMO from our vicinity because listening to various kinds of feeds could be misleading and discouraging in so many ways.

[hatshepsut93]

The price will be going up a lot more often, followed by corrections that may seem like the bear market has returned, but still the growth will outmatch the corrections. There will also be a lot of price spikes following positive news aka hype, like ETF hype, institutional adoption hype, government adoption hype and so on.

You can try to speculate on the market by selling before corrections and buying back after them, or you can wait for the bull run to be in full swing to start taking profits, which should happen in late 2024 - mid 2025.

Mate — if we know what's sure what will happen with extreme detail, we'd all be rich right now and chilling in some beach in the Bahamas. That's what makes investing easier and trading far harder — because while we can have an idea of the direction of an asset, that direction is mostly with lots of nooks and crannies.

So to answer your question: A LOT of volatility

A lot of volatility in coming months even some months after the halving, to shake all weak hands, all gamblers and speculators, who don't have enough experience in this market and who don't have good risk management for their capital, out of this market.

With those heavy elements, the market won't be able to take off around the halving and market makers will play their games to kill those investors, traders, speculators before their game actually kicks off.

Yes, but generally a lot of volatility the entire time(bull market, bear market, or crab market) until bitcoin grows big enough for it to have gold-levels of mild volatility.

tl;dr don't over leverage and manage your expectations.

First bull run coming up for me and after seeing the price of Bitcoin rally in the last few months particularly it is getting me somewhat excited for what is to come over the next few years.

It is my 2nd bull run, in the first bull run, my thoughts forced me to take entry by another side of me said, just speculate now and do not trade but I still traded in the future and due to the high volatility and less knowledge I got liquidated and from then to till now I never traded. Well, the thing is, if you are facing any of the two thought (to trade or to speculate only) then I will suggest get some knowledge first to do any of the both. Because to observe (speculation) and to trade, you need education to make some sense of the market.

I am just wondering what we are all expecting between now and the Bitcoin halving in April next year. Is it going to be a steady climb till then or is there usually a crash of some kind?

I don't remember if in the last bull run or just before halving there was any dump. Buy you can check the charts manually, but talking about the current, in my opinion, the last days of December and the first week of January will be highly volatile, as the 10th january is the date of EFT's approval or rejection.

Up until now I have just been buying throughout the bear market and not sold anything , my portfolio is currently 26% in profit which I am happy with but wondering if I should keep holding till past the bull run or take some profits now.

If the money is not needed then it would be better to hold because we might see temporary dump before or after halving but bull run is coming and people are holding to make at least 3x from BTC>

Although the bitcoin market is unpredictable, halving events have historically caused bullish movements. Will this pattern persist? The future is unclear and hard to predict. Bitcoin's durability is evident, but be cautious. This journey is full of volatility, so be ready for climbs and descents.

Your perseverance and long-term vision paid off by holding through the bear market. However, risk management requires diversity. With the halving approaching, holding may be enticing, but optimism must be balanced with caution. Profits only come from closing positions.

Personal financial goals and risk tolerance determine whether to hold or sell. Cryptography tests one's fortitude. Despite these challenges, Bitcoin remains a digital financial pioneer. Take this trip with knowledge and anticipation, but keep your expectations grounded in reality.

One of my mistakes before is not accumulating as much as I can with the different coins and waiting for the upcoming bull run, things is just normal if you keep your asset gains, but until when we know the bull run is coming but whats your goal or target to achieve this profit you want in the next market price?. Not all the time we keep holding after the peek is the dump of course you make yourself at least have a plan with your asset and not just hold it forever just a tip. Next is to make sure of your security, we know if there's a bull run people try to scam others just to have gains if you can afford to invest in your coins I guess you can afford to invest in security like hardware wallet and keep storing it into those exchange like binance.

[famososMuertos]

It is an answer that only you know, but 26% is a huge return, in any situation for an investor, but apparently you are just an ordinary citizen looking to improve your economy, so it depends on your personal issues, how to know .

In any case, the dream increases of a large majority these days have an enormous variance, it may be that even in January we will see prices that will take us years to see again, so it is a matter of individual priority and a plan.

[ImThour]

Just Buy and HODL Bitcoin, do not expect anything from Bitcoin. Doesn't matter if Halving is coming soon, it's going all by the plans and I am really happy for all those who bought when people were selling. That's how you get generational wealth by taking your chance when everyone else is in Fear. I am glad to get the opportunity to buy Bitcoin below $20k.

I am not expecting anything before 2025.

[bhadz]

Just see to it that even if we're getting some guarantees that the price of Bitcoin will go up, much better to look at it as if it will still have some downtime and correction. There is no other expectations for you to be made when you're like that and what's important is you know that it is not daily pump but there will be some balancing along its way to a new high. So, if you still don't know what to do. Keep on observing and like what others are reminding everyone, buy and HODL.

What I really see happening in the upcoming bitcoin halving is that many communities in this bitcoin and crypto industry will move forward, and their lives will change again.

Now, while we are waiting for the main event of Halving's, at the same time there is an ETF that has submitted many applications, and BlackRock is one of the ones expected to be approved, which is also expected by the majority of the community here, and there are even rumors that it has been approved. that said, and there are also many who strive to save as much as each holding can.

[GbitG]

If you look at the next two years, everyone expects the price to rise, but do not expect a far upward curve, meaning do not expect the price to rise more than 4 times the current price, and for the bottom of the coming years to be a point close to the current price, in the range of $50,000.
Therefore, set your calculations for the long term and try to sell at a point between $100,000 and $150,000, and do not be greedy for more than that.

Most people, when they enter the crypto industry (Bitcoin) to invest, they only think about profit and rising Bitcoin. Because they think that every time we get 2x 3x more profit margins than the current ATH, while it is not so. No one knows whether the price movement of Bitcoin will perform in the same way or not. And to understand that losing in emotions, dreams, and thoughts that Bitcoin will rise 2x or 3x more than its ATH this time. So it is inappropriate, in my opinion, Because the price movement of Bitcoin will be better than the previous one, blah blah, etc., an estimate is not made on the price of Bitcoin that it will actually perform like the previous one this time too or not.
 
So the meaning of the saying is that don't give up so many dreams and emotion's on Bitcoin because no one can predict the price of Bitcoin and perform by looking at its history or movement. There is no doubt that the future of Bitcoin is bullish, but not that much. Only a rise will be a rise in price and don't be fall. It's not strong matches. Make decisions according to your knowledge because No buddy is responsible for profit or loss.

Well, the impact of halving is quite huge and it obviously helps the price increases. But understanding the market behavior and its volatility, still we can expect some price corrections before and after halving but I believe there are more pumps rather than dumping scenarios. It is too hard to assume but I was predicting that the price of Bitcoin would reach $50,000 before halving, it was not far from the current price and I believe it has a bigger chance to make it.

The adoption today is already very different than before, so the performance of the market might be quite different.
But don't expect too much because we are just waiting for the sentiments of the community.
High likely that it is positive as right now we are already feeling the positive vibes brought by the increase of price.
As the supply of btc is fixed, and the adoption is further increasing, we can surmise that the price will really be heading to upward direction.

First bullrun? What do you mean? 
You must be aware that we are nearing the Bitcoin halving, it is normal if Bitcoin price is in a positive move. The price is almost reaching $45k, it is quite far from the early of 2023. Honestly, I expect the price to reach $50k soon in the early of 2024.

Dude, I am sure there will be no longer people to expect a crash of Bitcoin price in the next year. People must already collect enough Bitcoin in their wallets. We all plan for selling the Bitcoin now, so we wait for the peak of the bullrun season. After Bitcoin halving in April, the price probably starts to skyrocket. And the peak possibly happens in Q4 of 2024 or Q1-Q2 of 2025.

Up until now I have just been buying throughout the bear market and not sold anything , my portfolio is currently 26% in profit

If you feel satisfied with your current profits, you are free to sell your Bitcoin now. But I'm sure most people will prefer to wait for the peak of bullrun season. No people will sell their Bitcoin before the Bitcoin halving happens. People who sell their Bitcoin now, it is probably because of the urgent needs only.

[mirakal]

Do not expect that the price surge will appear continuously because that will never happen for a volatile coin like bitcoin. However, expect that there will be sudden price correction any time. It's better to prepare for it and become unbothered, than to resort into panic selling which will only result your investment into at loss.

Now if asked if you will continue to hold or take profits at some point, that depends on you. If you don't need your funds at the moment, then it's a wise idea to continue hodling until you will find good reason to sell and make decent profits.

I doubt it will be relaxing.
Bitcoin will probably go wild even when the Bitcoin ETF is approved. There's a time for stability and it might take a year or more. So the halving will probably have a great impact on the value of Bitcoin especially now that the starter is the ETF. More people have knowledge about Bitcoin because of it and FOMO will be rising. Why would one good investor want to miss out on this opportunity? I seriously doubt he will. But now, reap the rewards later. I like what you are doing, keep it up.
I've made my mistake in the past and I do regret selling a lot of Bitcoin in my stash just because of one good pump. Now, if I could take back time I would rather not sell it all and just keep it as an asset for a long time. Even now, I would probably not sell. That's the difference when you have knowledge about something, you start to have an idea of what's coming next.
