What are we expecting between now and Bitcoin halving?

[Wiwo]

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.

Over the next few years,  how many years do you have in mind,  because I am sure that the majority of us here already know what the extent of our speculations will be,  because many of us already allocated a timing for our speculation and just as I expected from the title of the thread,  I am sure that you also have a time frame for your speculations and since you mention that the next Bitcoin halving which is around the corner with less than six month to the timing of that great event.

But we are still anticipating the best when that eventually happens because a lot of high hope have been placed on the next Bitcoin market bull,  which many believe will happen and it will come some weeks or months after the next Bitcoin block halves.

[Fundamentals Of]

26% in profit is very low. Decide for yourself, but I'm just putting myself on your shoes. That to me is nothing because the potential is way bigger than that. I'm even convinced that 100% growth is very possible less than a year from now.

The sentiment is generally bullish so I guess between now and the Bitcoin halving in April the price would slowly but surely climb higher. And it's not just the halving that is being influential right now. The Bitcoin spot ETF is actually a big factor.

I don't think 26% profit overall for my portfolio at this point is that bad considering we still have bull run to come for next few years.

I have some altcoins that I am up almost 1000% , some 500 % but also have some that I am down on around 30%.

I am looking forward to the next few years and hoping it can be the first step for me towards retiring in the 2028/29 bull run.

My response to you is an answer to your dilemma whether to hodl past the bull run or to take some profits now. I'm not just saying it's low for its sake. I'm saying it is very low for taking profit. The context was whether to take profit or to continue hodling.

Compared to banks, 26% is already very high. Taken on its own, it is also already a decent profit. But to take into consideration the short to medium term potential, that's low indeed. There's more profit to gain so why be contented with just 26%? You can probably have it doubled next year even.

As for your altcoins, I think 1000% and 500% are enough. If I were you, those are the coins I'd consider converting.

If the regularity of the past were to be repeated, we would see a rise from here to halving, although with dips as well. It is worth remembering that ATHs traditionally do not break until well past halving. That is if the regularity were to repeat, well it doesn't have to but I think the most likely scenario is that the price will rise in the next few months to $50K or $55K and then drop and after halving go up to meet the previous ATH of $69K.

[AnonBitCoiner]

Bitcoin increase will be steady until halving and it does not means that we will not see decline upto halving but that decline will end soon as halving is taking place for enhancement of price. As bitcoin show higher price today like that of 43k$ so there is an excitement about halving that how much surge we will examine at that time because it is assumed that we will see 70k$ of bitcoin worth.

Halving is an event that is assumed to be a part of crypto market after every four years so be a participant of bitcoin investment if you want to take benefit from coming Bull run. Literally these are all divination but truth is unspecified and we don't know that the price will go ahead from 70k$ or will stop there so taking profit on time is necessary.

I'm waiting for the ETF. I believe that BTC will pump there a lot, not sure about hitting a new ATH. But I'm not planning to sell it yet anyway.

i think bitcoin pump not about ETF.
in history bitcoin price every halving bitcoin price will rise very high and always reach its latest ATH price. ETF have little or to no impact on the overall BTC price.

Yes don’t sell away these valuable coins in cheap price. We all know that how much valuable Bitcoins are and what are its capabilities. If there is no emergency of money, then don’t send these coins. Hold these coins as long as you can. A time will come when there will be scarcity of the coins and you will make the most profit at that time by selling it in high price. Let’s hope in this bull market Bitcoins cross atleast 70k usd.

You obviously don't know the difference between futures and spot BTC ETF, because then you would certainly think differently about the impact on the price if such an ETF (spot) were approved in the US. The very news of such an approval can have a positive effect on the price, and all those funds that will buy BTC after that will definitely affect the price.

Of course, what is unknown is how much interest investors will actually have in such a way of trading, because futures BTC ETF that have been around for some time are not very popular.

From the previous halvings, the price usually rising before the halving and it will go down again after the halving.
Then from 6 to 18 months later, we will see a new ATH.

You can withdraw the 26% profit and enjoy the holiday, or keep holding for a long term investment.
There will be many fuds and hype, keep hodl rest and enjoy the ride.

That's the most important word, "scarcity". Bitcoin will become something rare and in that case we will all be needing something that will benefit us all and we should be considering the situation all that much better. I hope that it gets to a point where it is going to end up with a greater return, and we need to make sure that it is going to end up with a higher price, and scarcity only makes that better.

Every single year, between lost ones and long term holding ones, there are less and less bitcoins left at each market, which means that buyers who are looking to buy more, have fewer sellers, so they end up paying more to make that happen, and that's the most important part of it, we should be careful about it, and we will go higher thanks to this.

This is the very first impact of EFT(spot). Then the next would be the likelihood of widespread global adoption. But not sure how this is going to happen that is if more people will buy the actual Bitcoin or ETF (spot). I say that nobody will be able to predict what direction it would go.

Of course, what is unknown is how much interest investors will actually have in such a way of trading, because futures BTC ETF that have been around for some time are not very popular.

What happens to the ones that have been around since they haven't been popular. Will investors interest be tilted towards those companies or the new companies like BlackRock after its approval?

In fact, so far, the bitcoin scarcity has not been felt much, despite the fact that there is only 10% of the total amount left to be mined. You can still buy any number of coins now. It will probably take a few more cycles for the scarcity to become real.

What I really see there before the halving is possibly around 100k per bitcoin, or maybe after 1 week after the halving. This is just my guess based on my opinion. Because the ETF cannot play a part in the rise of Bitcoin.

Of course, no matter what others say, the etf still has a contribution to raise the price value of Bitcoin in the market. But even so, no one knows what will actually happen on that very day of the main event of the halving.

Who knows? The truth is that nobody really knows and there are enough memes about people who claim to know while they say "it could go up, but it could also go down". Well, interesting analysis if you ask me.

What's hard to predict here is when events are priced in. As you said, will it a steady climb or will there be another jump? Is the halving already priced in due to the recent price increase?

Do big players want to make moves and ride the Bitcoin halving wave by buying and more and get retail investors excited?

No one can tell you exactly what will happen between now till halving by next year. But with all indications, there’s going to be a major change in the market that will either make people excited for a while or for a whole. With that in mind, just expect anything to happen and be ready to face the market changes.

Waiting till after halving before you sell your hodling is better but waiting till after bull run is the best. You just need to make up your mind as you’ve been doing till date that you won’t touch your funds for any reason and will accumulate more until the bull run so that you can benefit and gain plenty profit at bull run.

ETFs are something that attracts large investors who want to trade in the simplest possible way, and the big advantage for each such investor is that he does not have to buy and store BTC himself, but the fund does it all for him. Of course, such investors are always at risk of losing their money, considering that others manage their assets, but here we are talking exclusively about trading, none of them care what BTC represents, nor do they want to know about the golden rule "not your keys, not your coins".

What happens to the ones that have been around since they haven't been popular. Will investors interest be tilted towards those companies or the new companies like BlackRock after its approval?

I think that investors are always attracted by big names that have credibility and a good reputation, so it seems to me that companies like BlackRock, Fidelity or Grayscale will grab the biggest share of the pie.

It bitcoin halving reputed in the same way like before, it is definitely a golden opportunity for those who have prepared for the up coming bull market. But it is difficult to say that the market will behave the same. Because if we look at the normal view, the tendency that works in the public sometimes does not match the behavior of the market. Also we all think that ETF may be approved but still can anyone guarantee it? We will have to wait till the official announcement comes. Because if the ETF is not approved, the market may take a big crash. But again, before or after the halving, the market may return to its previous state. Therefore, the investor must be aware of the market and conduct investment activities with utmost caution.

That's what we don't know because we can't unfold what the crypto market holds for us in bitcoin price. But we can only be positive and hope that from now to the halving season, bitcoin will be on the increase side not at a decrease. Nevertheless, if it chooses to increase, fine, or decline, it's also our advantage to accumulate more bitcoin at a low price.

To be holding till the bull starts as it reaches the entry price you wish to sell, will be a better plan. You can have your entry price set to be $80k-$100k as you would want to since many of us believe that we are to anticipate a higher price to come than the previous bull run which was $65k in 2021

I advice you take some profit after the ETF approval, it's possible that Bitcoin will rise up to 60k after the ETF approval but a correction is sure to happen after, there isn't anything wrong taking profit and after a correction you can buy back some Bitcoin.

Like I have said few times already, if Black Rock plan to crash the market it could be that they have a plan after the ETF approval, but even if the ETF isn't expected Bitcoin will still correct itself before the Halving, so this is unavoidable.

Have your profit taking strategy in place, you can't lose out if you take profit.

[AakZaki]

we are close, holding out is a good choice for now. Don't be influenced by situations that could trap you. holding long term will be a good storyline and can provide big profits. having a profit of 26% to date is quite a large profit, therefore grow this profit as much as possible because the halving will soon arrive and the bull market will make your assets have a greater value.

Expect the unexpected! This has always been my main line and principle that i do have when dealing up with crypto space, on which there would really be no assurance if things would really be just that the same
or the things that we are anticipating to happen could happen. We do know that no one on this world would be able to point out on what are the things that would happen ahead. This is why you should really that make yourself that versatile and would really be able to be that adaptive basing up on the current situations or conditions that you are facing on. Bitcoin is fast approaching and people are already that anticipating
on the things that it would really be that positive but we know that there's no assurance on how far it would really be able to reach out.

This is why it wont really be that a bad idea that you would really be placing up yourself into the market as of these current prices on which we know that it is really that still low.
Some might be focusing on putting on investing on Bitcoin but there would really be those people who would really be that considering on putting up
money into altcoins too.
