What's in Store for Crypto in the Coming Months?

[Iamcrypticguy]

The crypto markets have been on a wild ride in recent years, with major price swings and increased adoption happening at a breakneck pace. As we move further into 2024, there are several key developments and trends worth paying attention to in the cryptocurrency space.

In the coming months, we may see further price action around Bitcoin halving, continued growth in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, more mainstream adoption of digital assets, and increased regulatory clarity in major markets. Major themes appear to be broader institutional involvement, innovations in blockchain technology itself, and the tokenized representation of assets.

There are still many uncertainties, but it looks like the crypto space will continue to rapidly evolve. What potential catalysts are you watching out for? Which cryptocurrencies or blockchain applications are you most excited or optimistic about for the future? What are your predictions for the overall market and major cryptos like Bitcoin and Ethereum?

Share your thoughts on where things may be headed and what you expect to see unfold in the coming months in the crypto industry. The markets are highly unpredictable, but with so much activity in the blockchain and digital asset space, the coming months look to be full of developments that will shape the future of the industry. Let us know your take on this...

After seeing your username I was going to say you are the crypticguy so you should know the answers to all these questions you asked! Opps I already said it haha.

Well, Talking about blockchain technology specifically, it was admired from the very start, like governments that have banned cryptocurrencies, they do support Blockchain technology, for example in my country crypto is banned but still one of the banks in our country implemented Blockchain technology. This Means Governments support blockchain but not crypto.

Talking about other applications of crypto like Defi or AI, etc. etc. I am seeing a trend of AI and gamified platforms, but let's just not talk about them more, as this section is for BTC discussions. So my the big improvement in the BTC network I am waiting for is the full stop on the inscription of Ordinals. Yeah, in the Knot v27 update, they (developers) might be successful in stopping the inscription of BRC-20 tokens. But finger are crossed as nothing is for sure.

After what the market is moving and reacting in the way the free market accepts then according to my prediction. bitcoin will still have minor corrections after resistance at 38k$ is formed, at the same time ETF heat will continue with ETH ETF will be approved, ordinal boom will be in sync with bitcoin L2 trend , then, altcoin season will run in the middle of the year and again at the end of the year. Anyway, we have prepared many things after Bitcoin Halving, be ready for a small price increase or bull run scenario in 2024

[kryptqnick]

The trick to making likeable predictions is to make them vague enough so that they can play into humanity's love for confirmation bias, and people will find 'evidence' that those predictions were correct. "Further price action around Bitcoin halving" is a wonderful example because Bitcoin has "price action" all the time, and there's no strict definition of what that means. Some goes for "broader institutional involvement" as any news about any major investment fund and Bitcoin kind of counts here.
So yeah, in the same spirit, I can say that Bitcoin will be volatile, we will see some market fluctuations, the ETFs will remain a relevant question, and Bitcoin will get significant media attention over the next few months.

It seems like a difficult situation that cryptocurrency is banned but blockchain is welcome. Does that mean you don't have local exchanges that are regulated by your government so that you can exchange the crypto profit you get from the crypto business?

Or either way, don't say you're using a VPN, right? Then the Gamefi, I also see that as a trend, in fact, in the upcoming bull run, and I also have some holdings of that, in fact, somehow.

Ahaha. I feel same buddy thanks for the input. So you mean the knot v27 updates will stop the inscription for brc20 tokens?

A trick well learnt by the industry too, as it turns out. We all want to hear affirmation of our beliefs (or fantasies maybe?) even if it doesn't even dampen the disappointment when it doesn't turn in our favour.

I do pretend I'm all right even when everything turns against what we want -- comforted by the fact I'm holding and stacking as my target price and/or liquidation date is so far ahead in the tunnel there's no sliver of light yet.

I've definitely abandoned this "institutional" hopium though, even in the last bull run. I mean, really, the biggest drops are already in the ocean...

Well done, you just described the typical Crypto influencer. They make vague predictions:

Price goes in their predicted direction, they quote their earlier prediction post or tweet and claim clout.
Price goes in the opposite direction, tweet/post gets deleted, and life continues.


If you are in the space long enough, you'd come to understand that nobody knows shit - everyone is just speculating on Bitcoin and other crypto prices. As long as you're stacking, I don't think you can be in the wrong with Bitcoin. keep at it. slow and steady.

Well every person got their own belief. No one is wrong about certain prediction but neither they are right as well. Influencers are just posting such hopium beliefs that followers tend to believe but those guys are getting paid for that or preparing to dump on their followers. Ive seena lot of these so it is much better to keep our eyes open on possible scenarios and telling ourself that 99% of what they are saying wont happen at all.

[The Cryptovator]

To be honest, I store Ethereum right now for the upcoming ETF. I am looking for a dip to accumulate some bitcoin as well for the upcoming halving. So I am not sure if I can find my desired dip to accumulate Bitcoin before the halving. Otherwise, I will skip it. Rest; I don't like to store any other cryptocurrency right now, except for trading. But I feel Bitcoin investments would be good for long-term holders. Because after every halving, Bitcoin starts pumping hard, and we may see another ATH again by breaking the previous ATH.

[taufik123]

No one knows what exactly will happen in the coming months.
But the sure thing that will happen is that the 4th Halving will start in April 2024.
About the price of Bitcoin no one will know, predictions are just predictions, and it will not guarantee to be able to guess what will happen.

But my hope or the hope of all of us in the crypto space is certainly a significant rise or Bitcoin can reach a new ATH.

There is a lot of speculation circulating about the ATH of $100k++ bitcoin, which is the target of many people,
I am also among those who hope that the ATH of bitcoin exceeds $100k++.

what we can do optimally now is to buy and hold Bitcoin until the ATH can be achieved,
making it a long-term investment that will provide many benefits in the end.

"the upcoming Ethereum ETF"...


I very much doubt an Ethereum ETF is happening any time soon, certainly not this year. Bitcoin and Ethereum are two very different things, and while there was a lot of legal and political pressure to make the SEC approve the Bitcoin one, that doesn't really exist for Ethereum. And Ethereum is more similar to the centralized crypto tokens that the SEC considers securities than Bitcoin which is a decentralized currency.

I'm sure an Ethereum ETF will happen eventually, but I would guess its probably a few years away.

The only big things I am expecting in Bitcoin in the coming months is Bitcoin block halving and the ETF.

As we all know, we always experiencing a high price pumps on Bitcoin starting months before the Bitcoin block halving. So for me, I can say it has already started last year and what we are experiencing right now are just pullbacks before Bitcoin will continue to rise and add the ETF approval also.

[pooya87]

I don't really see any major differences.

The shitcoins like Ethereum are still as useless and centralized as they've ever been and their survival depends on how many gamblers continue making bets on tokens that keeps being created on their platforms. The name changing is not helping anymore either (ICO, IEO, STO, NFT, DeFi,...).

Bitcoin is still on the same path as before and is the only cryptocurrency with actual adoption that doesn't consist of only gamblers betting on the price.
With the upcoming halving we will have some rallies for a couple of weeks (maybe 2 months) but there are a lot of other external factors (namely the recession) that will continue putting the brakes on bitcoin's price soaring.

[adaseb]

Since the etf was approved all eyes are going to be on the halving. Usually a few months after the halving there is a huge pump and breaks ath. Most are expecting the same cycle here.

Also what matters is the inflows and outflows to the etfs. So far GBTC has had huge outflows and most days it outnumbered the inflows from the other etfs. So if we still it slowing then it’s a sign that it might bottom out. However they have still like $20B left to sell so who knows when that will be.

Op, also stated a point of view that I think is the same. Volatility is likely, as we get closer to events in the bitcoin space that will focus on the halving. There is no doubt that news will be spread to attract confidence, just as FUD will be spread to create suspicion. Although I don't care too much about the next few months about prices, because the amplitude I can feel fluctuates around 30%, so I'm ready for any scenario.

One thing I also see is that the attention to bitcoin is gradually returning more, as we start to discuss more about price and speculate about events in 2024 absolutely positive signs. It is extremely difficult to see large price increases, and as described every DIP is well received at this stage.

Yeah, you can say that again. I'm one of those who expect the same circle to repeat itself and then something huge to come out of it. I know if this circle works out as predicted and enormous ROI is achieved, the next halving will have so many enthusiasts on the queue waiting to take their shots by investing heavily.

For the coming months, those who already haven't taken positions and bought their favourite coins will be the losers for it. Anyone who's still waiting for a dump so they can get in may end up chasing the bus. Don't wait for a perfect entry. There's nothing as such. We only get to find out of perfect entry long after price has left the region.

True. I've had to be very patient!!.
