Most of the alt holders are starting to transfer their funds back to bitcoin.

Starting? They are dumping alts at least for 2 months dumping them 30-50% (alt/btc price). Most of alts are very cheap today but they will be even cheaper.
Rule is simple. When bitcoin is boring speculants trade btc/alt boosting alt price. When volatility is coming back to bitcoin speculants sells alts to trade on bitcoin. Thus unless bitcoin will calm down there won't be recover on alts. I think that bitcoin will show now who is the king of crypto and dominance will grow to 65-75%.

I don't really expect what people are calling "dominance" (falsely) to increase that much anytime soon because there still is an unbelievably huge supply of altcoins that bitcoin with its teeny tiny supply (in comparison) is being compared to when calculating that "dominance". on top of that they are injecting trillions of new coins into the circulation every day so despite their value loss they still are bloating the total market capitalization.
this is actually why it is not real dominance and that is why market cap is a worthless number.

We just break 65%. So i was right than

Sadly i didn't earn on that.

... All top 100 altcoins are loosing 5-10% daily (alt/btc price).

i am always fascinated by this because all day long you hear how everyone is "believing" in altcoins and creating "portfolios" thinking they are holding valuable assets but as soon as bitcoin price starts rising, all of them show their real faces by dumping all those altcoins and coming back to bitcoin.

that is why i always tell people to look at the market instead of what people say online, the market can never lie but people can.

People are greedy, then will immediately jump on the bandwagon when they here or see something is brewing. Just like the days of ICO's, people started to buy tons of altcoins and hope that they will get a huge windfall. But now it's totally dead and when Bitcoin price suddenly goes and break barriers, they switch back, dump their shitcoins. That's why the dominance of bitcoin keeps going up as well.

Well...indeed total market cap of all coins is worthless. I even created topic for that: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.39856027

But in my opinion 65% bitcoin dominance according to what people call it is not that hard.
Currently total marketcap is equal to 185 bil, bitcoin is worth 102 bil, the rest of top 25 coins from CMC are worth 65 mil. We only need 25% alt/btc price drop ($16 bil) from top 25 CMC and bitcoin dominance will surge above 60%. In my opinion it is possible since most of those coins are close to supports. And we are taking into consideration only top 25 CMC. Those trillions new coins every day are for sure boosting MC but they are most often top 300 - top 500 CMC ($5-10 mil worth each). To cover $16 bil loss we will have to see 2200 new coins listed on CMC.

You are right. 75% is too much. But 65% is plausible.

Well as you can see after only 1 week bitcoin domination has increased to 58% from 55%. 2 - 3 similar weeks and we will reach 65%. https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage All top 100 altcoins are loosing 5-10% daily (alt/btc price).

after the recent drama with Bitfinex and their Tether shenanigans which causes a short term backtrack we are once again on the rise heading over to $5600 to try and break it.
if it succeeds today we can see a big wave of FOMO to shoot the price above $6k easily in less than half an hour.
so far it seems like the buy power is strong enough to break it today. what do you think?

The price has already broken that $5,600 and we now have it at $5,700+. ICE has been loading up cryptocurrencies for their platform, Bakkt. I don’t really know when that is going to start work, but some has said it will be later this 2019, but no exact date on when it’s going to be.

The next resistance level for btc is $5,900 and once bitcoin reaches that level, there’s probably going to be a rush just like you have said, and that’s going to make the price of bitcoin to get above $6000 level. The way the price has been moving up recently, I’m sure this is going to be anytime soon.

I think we have managed to hit second biggest day in bitcoin history as transactions. I couldn't find some sort of top 10 type of deal and I have been checking it on blockchain itself but from what I gather even our peakest of peaks we have been on average 300k or similar, we had one other day that was 490k transactions but right now I see that may the second had 450k which is insanely high if I am seeing it right.

It was a combination of an increase in hashrate and an increase in miners luck that made blocks be generated faster than usual. Right now we're hovering around 350k again, which is about normal for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin needs to scale more on-chain to push the number of transactions over that 450k mark consistently without relying on hashrate increases and whatnot. SegWit is stuck on a 20ish % block size increase for a while now....

Well 5600$ has been broken, and i think the price will go to over 6000 $ this month with high chances to hit 7000$, and now bitcoin is still a good option to invest and hold for long for a higher profit.

I do not think that bitcoin prices will cross 7000$ anytime soon. We may now see some retracement in bitcoin prices. We have some support at 5500$ and a major support at 5150$. I think bitcoin will touch these support and then move up again to cross the 6000$.
Just remember that bitcoin will not go straight up without being Pull back.

Technical analysis is not always right in some cases in this crypto market, when bitcoin price hit $5000, same thing was speculated using technical analysis and many people expected a retrace back to $4500 or $4000, but did we ever foresee the fundamentals of Tether and bitfinex as having any positive effect on BTC price?

We never even expected the development that arouse through tether and bitfinex, so all these are just speculations, fundamentals could arose from any angle to change the whole story and you see FOMO pick the value to $7000, so we can’t say yet if there will be any retrace or not.

This of course has something to do with ease of transactions now, back in the day it was much more slower and much more expensive to do the same things we can do right now and its easier today but its still a marvel that we have broken those numbers at almost 6 thousand dollars and I can't think of what we will be like next time we reach the 20 thousand dollar levels.

We are stuck for more than a year and maybe this year will be a great days for crypto. It is too positive to look that Bitcoin keeps on moving little by little and surpassing $5600 will be a step to finally takes bull run. We are too excited to witness it again and I really miss those days(2017). Do I believe that it won't happen again but at least we saw our market recovers after all.

The market reached high above $5800 soon after surpassing $5800. After reaching high the price of bitcoin have fallen low and now once again taking momentum reaching close to $5700. Maybe this time the growth will continue reaching $6000 which will take the market grow further towards a new ATH.

I think I like the way that price started this week, it is showing that we are going to see much of bull surprises. Price hitting &5800 and not retracing deeper like it happened last week is a nice ride. Last week, it retraced down to $5076 but I think the retracement so far gives more hope for faster movement.

UPDATE:
the uptrend seems to still have a strong buy support behind it and the general market attitude seems to want the price to go upwards but that is not the only force, another force against this has shaped up that is keeping the breakout from happening and it is still because of a couple of FUDs about bitcoin including the bitfinex one and also a new one about China.
the result in my opinion is only postponing the breakout for a little while. we may see the rise by next week.

Yeah. The demand is once again hitting the all time high. On 4th April we reached the 24h volume of $21m which is highest daily volume since Jan 6, 2018. If we compare the present demand and price, price is surely undervalued which means it is going to be in upward trends in coming days. All market needs is a push of $100-150. If general market mechanism can push the price up by hundred dollars or so then it will surely provoke new buyers to enter the market and we can easily see a surge of $600-700 in market.

UPDATE:

I'd rather be willing to bet the opposite; it's only a matter of days before this rise (which nobody has been able to explain yet) stops, the market's enthusiasm will also calm down very quickly. Remember that the Bitfinex's drama didn't really start yet, there is currently no judgment, or I don't know what.

When you check the average volume for the last 24h we have near the same level as back on Dec 17 - Jan 18. I suppose it means we have the same "excitement" when the ATH was here. Which is a good signal... but where the fuck is the ATH ? Grin

ATH is waiting for us somewhere in the future, for couple years, more or less. I think too that people are too excited with this rise, we need to wait and see what will happen with tether case. Some thinks that that situation can have big effects on crypto, some disagree, I think its best to wait and see.
What push bitcoin price now is probably some big buy orders, I saw some news about new miners released, maybe people are buying bitcoins to buy miners.

It can hit more than $6k if the momentum will continue, there's no assurance but we are seeing good response from the market, if more and more pressures to go up then the bull will continue being strong and try to hit another barrier, though $7k is tough to climbed but if there's more positive
movements who knows how long it can be touched.

Most value that BTC has touched in the past few months has really not been easy for it to touch, but despite how tough it is, the time it uses in breaking the barriers and resistance is still very short, if bitcoin can continue with this rally, it may find it quite easy for it climb to $7000.

Reason why I feel it will be easy is because we have not seen any major dumb for now that will give another big distance between the current value and the later value. Though many people have speculated a retrace, but I don’t think that is going to happen anytime soon, I only expect dip retrace now when we hit the ATH again.

Yes bull backs come but I think we have already seen that hit at $5150 last week, I believe the bounce off is what has prepared price on the increase we have seen so far and more increase should come after $6000 is broken.

That is the truth "more increase will come when bitcoin broken $6000" trading area. I do believe that bitcoin has resume it upwards movement and what makes it to push down a little is because traders are trying to take little profits along the line and not that bear still have dominion over the market. It is truth that we can start to buy now if we have a long term investment views in mind as bitcoin has already created a part for uptrend.

I don't know what to say about this but bitcoin literally pushed for 6 thousand dollars, it went to as high as 5875 in some places and fall back down (some places even broke 6 thousand but temporarily) right now its around 5750ish or so in many places but I can't believe how quickly we have been testing new highs lately.

I have no reason why it would do that but I feel like people have sensed that if we push all together than the 6 thousand dollar mark is easy to achieve. We are going to have to wait and see what will happen soon but if we keep grinding higher like this for a while I am not doubting that we will break that 6 thousand barrier and move to 6.5 thousand dollars at which point everything changes. We go back to pre-November prices and test for another all time high after that.

Most investors resemble to invest bitcoin as its current value has shown gradual pump which gives people's hope to contour the asset in appropriable way. Recently, the value was heading up to $6k and with our positive determination, bitcoin will conquer this kind of scenario and will continue to exceed eminently profitable.

It will probably break and go higher than $5600 but base on how I see it $6000 won't be the price floor and it can go up and down within $200 dollar range, $6300 and above is just a mere optimism it may happen but not that fast the possibility is too low but there is still a chance. We have few news regarding bitcoin and it won't get hype without any event that might trigger the alarm, prediction wouldn't be that necessary unless something unexpected occur.

Prices always fail to reach $6000 because many users continue to do panic selling and make prices stuck and fall back again.
we need a stronger leap so that panic selling is no longer a barrier to price rise

Indeed, this will continue to prosper as uptrend price will gain more demands onwards. Many of us now take action with positive news behind bars, so just wait and always control your emotions. Don't act quickly, you must think seriously and avoid panic. Because when you give up and don't have patience on what has been through, everything will be worthless.

I can't believe the fact that bitcoin is going up no matter what. We have been really going up and not looking back for the past month, anytime price goes down a bit everyone starts to panic and think this is the "correction" that we will see but anytime we go down even a bit we go higher and higher. We are above $5700 as of right now and I believe even if we fall a bit (not $4500 like some claim but to $5200 levels again) then we will go back up even higher and even reach 6 thousand dollars finally.

Each of those thousand levels is a big breaking point for bitcoin and anytime we break those we are probably never going back to previous one for a long time unless another bear run unleashes by some bitcoin rich person selling thousands of bitcoin all at the same time.

There is trouble abrewing

there seems to still be some sort of fear in the market that is preventing that FOMO from happening and pushing the price up above the $6k. probably it is (at least partly) because of the recent bitfinex stuff with their Tether issues but also it might be due to the large scale FUD that has been circulating over the past week with lots of "fake speculation" talking about drops just because they had placed a bunch of shorts which they wanted to fill Cheesy

This is a cycle in which an increase will occur on each coin, which means the market has a good uptrend. Although there will be many people who sell their altcoins to get a better profit in bitcoin, but with trends like this and for the future it is not wrong to wait longer to trade altcoins, but whatever it is, a choice must be made, FOMO it will be something that will make a maximum immovable increase because it might be a correction when the pump is happening because many of them sell.

But in my opinion 65% bitcoin dominance according to what people call it is not that hard.
Currently total marketcap is equal to 185 bil, bitcoin is worth 102 bil, the rest of top 25 coins from CMC are worth 65 mil. We only need 25% alt/btc price drop ($16 bil) from top 25 CMC and bitcoin dominance will surge above 60%. In my opinion it is possible since most of those coins are close to supports. And we are taking into consideration only top 25 CMC. Those trillions new coins every day are for sure boosting MC but they are most often top 300 - top 500 CMC ($5-10 mil worth each). To cover $16 bil loss we will have to see 2200 new coins listed on CMC.

You are right. 75% is too much. But 65% is plausible.

I don't really expect what people are calling "dominance" (falsely) to increase that much anytime soon because there still is an unbelievably huge supply of altcoins that bitcoin with its teeny tiny supply (in comparison) is being compared to when calculating that "dominance". on top of that they are injecting trillions of new coins into the circulation every day so despite their value loss they still are bloating the total market capitalization.
this is actually why it is not real dominance and that is why market cap is a worthless number.

Bitcoin price is nearly $5,900 now, the highest level in 6 months since November 2018. It appears to have the most FOMO associated with it, I hope it will cross $6,000 this time. Bitcoin (BTC) is showing positive signs right now, however I figure it could still be a bull trap.

$5,735 on Stamp at the moment, it looks like the bears are really losing control atm. $6,000 a real possibility this weekend.

Bitcoin lover!

The market really looks good today, I hope this time the price will exceed $6000 and strengthen above this mark, but if not, then the mark of $5800 will also be a good step for further price growth. For Bitcoin, it is important to strengthen above $6000 as this is a psychological mark, after which the mention of Bitcoin in the press will increase.

Curious if it will hold with the today rise, no big bear movement yet. If they stay out and the line keeps rising this can be 6k today for sure.

Now the present market uptrend is supposed to cross more than 10thousand dollars as per technical analysis so we may expect bullish run with this uptrend

Any logical explanation as to why the couple last uptrends was only on Bitcoin, as much as I am happy with this uptrend but I can't help but to get scared because with Altcoins not rising even close to Bitcoin level of rising when a correction happens Altcoins will dip badly

when the price of bitcoin begins to rise a lot, people rush to sell their altcoins to buy bitcoin, and this cycle can last a long time making the altcoins fall a lot and for a long time. just see the price that the altcoins had to 5 months and the price have today to realize what I'm talking about

we reach more than $5750 and we are very close to $6000.

In my opinion it's not about bitcoin price grow. It's about volatility of bitcoin because when bitcoin price dump that makes altcoins dump even further what should not happened based on your explanation.

High volatility on bitcoin makes almost impossible to predict alt/btc and alt/usd price since those are related to btc/usd price. So when volatility on btc/usd increase makes short term alt traders go on holiday or trade on BTC/usd since there are finally good conditions for speculation. Their capital moved out of altcoins dump them and makes other (even middle term hodlers) sell what push price even further.

When volatility on bitcoin is decreasing short term traders leave btc/usd pair (bad speculation condition) to trade on altcoins what push price up.

Just sold a heavy chunk of BTC (my regular sells to pay the bills) on Wednesday, which was accepted yesterday by some lone buyer at $5.3k so a wee bit miffed that this happened like hours after that haha. But there we go, almost 10% move in just a few hours. Just goes to prove you can't really use the news anymore even if it's as big as getting the ol' Bitfinex up your bum.

The volumes are still not quite there though, I'm really surprised by how BTC continues to break those levels and yet without the strength of volume you'd expect.

I think if we see another 2019 this month, and another in June, then the momentum will well and truly be gathering. We're almost back at that 6k level where BTC stayed put for 6 weeks!

We had couple confirmation that there is simply none else to sell. Only holders and smart money are left on bitcoin. That's why price is growing without volume.
We had CBOE delisting news without any dump (i know its not bad news but look at it from lambo investor perspective. All of them was waiting for bakkt and btc etf and ... bum bitcoin is being delisted from cboe) It was, in my opinion, fud producing news and should dump bitcoin).
We had "bitfinex print 850 mln" news and only 3% dump? Under resistance? We should see dump at least 10% without this news simply from TA (fighting with very strong resistance, resting from 60% pump) nad we had 3% dump with this news.

I'm very bullish. Of course, we might see even 20% dump now but it won't change my attitude currently because bitcoin is bad news resistant now. That's the first indicator of the end of bear market

Most of the alt holders are starting to transfer their funds back to bitcoin.

Starting? They are dumping alts at least for 2 months dumping them 30-50% (alt/btc price). Most of alts are very cheap today but they will be even cheaper.
Rule is simple. When bitcoin is boring speculants trade btc/alt boosting alt price. When volatility is coming back to bitcoin speculants sells alts to trade on bitcoin. Thus unless bitcoin will calm down there won't be recover on alts. I think that bitcoin will show now who is the king of crypto and dominance will grow to 65-75%.

I've seen the dominance of bitcoin again back @55.2% and that seems to be high again. Most of the alt holders are starting to transfer their funds back to bitcoin. I did a bad moved and sold some @ $5,400 because I thought that it's already stagnant on that price and will eventually go on the dip. But the good thing I was able to retrieve back and rode this run. Few hours from now I'm expecting that it would go back for awhile on $5,700 to $5,600.

Yep. It was. We have just break 5600 but without fomo wave to 6000. In my opinion fomo is not creating those 10% in 30 min pumps. Its short squeeze. And there was not that many shorts as it was at 4k range when we get +15% in 2h.

$ 500 mil of liquidated shorts only on bitmex while this pump. - 2 april 2019

Only $70 mil last 5h. (2h before 5600 break and 3h after 5600 break) - now

All I know is that I know nothing.

after the recent drama with Bitfinex and their Tether shenanigans which causes a short term backtrack we are once again on the rise heading over to $5600 to try and break it.
if it succeeds today we can see a big wave of FOMO to shoot the price above $6k easily in less than half an hour.
so far it seems like the buy power is strong enough to break it today. what do you think?
