Topic: 1-2 years of Bear Market from now? (or much less?) - page 5. (Read 1006 times)

Bear market can not be infinite, initially by the way were happy with such news, and now changed their mind because they thought that in a month everyone will receive profit and the growth of coins. Yes, in short-term trading is not easy now, but you need to wait another month or two.

I believe this has been one of the most manipulated seasons of cryptos.
Lots of people entered the market in the bull season and after a little dump, they started getting out of the market. Yes, that was a huge loss for the market, but when the manipulations stop things will start to cover up.

Blockchain technology is future.
Bitcoin could be future but I am sure it will grow together with Blockchain technology.

Best " experts " are guys that post 2 different charts ( one very bullish and one very bearish ) and then 5 days later they will tell you " I warned you ". They are doing that to get attention and make a little bit of money. We all know that social media has become much more important than money...
These people are also manipulating people. I am an example of the people who are manipulated. I was planning to sell my alts and move back to btc in the second week of January, but I started reading these so-called professionals and stop selling. Instead of selling, I started buying more! Which was a huge mistake... But I was naive and needed some advice. Now when I look back I see that it was a huge huge mistake.

I think the best thing to do is to learn TA while waiting for the market to cover up. And also (even though it is risky) learn how to short and long my positions. Bears and bulls always win, but we -the small players- always lose. It is important to learn how to deal with this season and at least don't lose anything.

I wish everyone good luck and hope none of you guys lose your money... We all have dreams and to achieve some of us keen on cryptos. Hope in two years time when we remember these months well just laugh...

I guess most of us weren’t expecting current situation to last that long. We were supposed to be on a up trend now but since market is far from being strong and being stable it goes down even  in the smallest hit. We are so vulnerable right now and we need time to get over this. Tho I don’t think it will take a year or longer. We only need 1 or 2 months max.

It will be bear only, only if the coins have no real value. But you forget something. Bitcoin might be purely speculative, but there are ton of alts that have real projects with real uses and their releases are coming. If they are successful, the whole market will recover. Im sure many of them will. Blockchain is the future, nothing can change that.

believe in hold term , selling in dip cause more dip and loss to seller too .
everything is not permanent . like in november- december btc was only booming , so it is time of dip . then again boom .

BTC is now $8400. How do you  comment this?

The market behavior is like in 2014 and i think we will see this correction untill 2020 or halving of bitcoin. But in this year there will be ethereum like project. Just like ethereum ico in 2014 and i hope i can find next ethereum this year so i can invest my small ammount money for 4 years until 2021 or 2022. Bitcoin halving is at 2020 may. From today to 2021 we will only profit by rebound after dump.

We all thought that this period would continue until the summer months. I hope everything goes right in the short term and we can see the rising prices again.
There is no enjoyment of doing this when the markets are down

If we think the market last year it so happen that value does not enter swing fast in bull runs. It takes time to fully bullis trend I think mid or ber months onward that we saw in the bullish trends. So this year, we should be patient happens in this bear market.

I think overall marketcap must cross and trade above $500 billion for the next bill run. Looks like it's not happening now because once it touched that mark it feel rapidly down to $340 billion. I am expecting a boom in may - June because last year at the same time it bounced way high.

We won't have a 1-2 year bear market. I think that the max it'll be is 1 year.

Expect alts to go down this year though because bitcoin seems to be on the slope of going down further, and that's not stopping. So alts will get affected and dragged down in fiat value alongside with bitcoin.

Unless bitcoin reverses into a bull market, alts aren't going to either.

Can't see BTC crashing for more than 1 year straight, expect 2019 to be a slow bull market and 2020 be a fast one.

I think bear market will last longer than expected this year probably spring summer will be all about bear runs. But later this year everything will be resolved, crypto rally will launch and people will enjoy it.

No one can say how long we will be on the bear market. If bitcoin price does not create new ATH on this year 2018 then we can expect that on 2019. 1 year is a very long time for bearish market.

I agree, if we loot at the total Crypto marketcap we are still in positiv compared to one year ago and if you take the "huge" currencies as Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, NEO, Ripples, (...) they are all in green compared to the same period last year so maybe the value of all cryptos went up too fast ? Maybe we needed this correction ? Anyway I know it hurts for a lot of us (me inclued, I punch myself every day for not selling in early january) but it doesn't mean that this is the end

Just hold on tight, you cant expect it to grow all the time, and specially at exponential rate....we are still recovering from that crazy run couple months ago....
1-2 years is too long, I think this mid december-january fiasco was the first time that crypto world got giant media recognition, and we are still far far away from wide adoption, so....

By the way, too, I heard for a long bear market. But what would he have been for 1-2 years, too bold assault. Although the real use of crypto currency is greatly overvalued, this technology is not implemented as quickly as it should, so that it will suffer less from the game of whales. And now everyone is preparing for the spring, that there will be growth. We will see. I do not really hope for any predictions. The market principle allows you to earn here and now, it is more difficult for investors who entered the market and expected to increase their profits 10 times in 1 month. They just need to wait patiently and do their own business and leave alone the thoughts of the crypto currency.

I think a lot of people need to really put things in perspective here.  If the stock market rises 20% in one year, people would be speaking about it decades later.  If the crypto market rises 1300% and then goes down to ONLY 800%, people start shitting their pants calling it a bear market.  What would you expect?  that this is free-money-Disneyland that would last for decades?  Of course the market goes down after it just moved up several hundred percent.  You can call yourself lucky (I know I will) when these prices are a bit stable for some years WITHOUT any more growth.  The real problem is that >50% of the people posting here got in at >$10k/btc.  That's the real issue here...

the revolution is only at the beginning. surely there will be shakes but the crypto will take the place of the fiat. and then we'll start having fun

As you know already, Bitcoin and other coins increase their price rapidly then suddenly it's like a grenade that exploded out of a sudden. it means no one knows when it will be stabilized, what will happen next, why some stupid things happen, so we need to go with the flow, people with strategies earn well as they go with it, some get confused and some try to get out from the flow, so where do you belong?

It is  darkest before the dawn! The latest correction is close to ending soon in next few days
going by sentiment and charts.
