Topic: Bitcoin futures and market price (Read 679 times)

Yes, bitcoin is being treated as electronic asset rather than electronic cash. Bitcoin futures contract had a good effect in December 2017 when bitcoin hit 20K but later there are so much manipulation in bitcoin futures market that bitcoin is unable to get fully stable on high prices and its struggle to finds its way up from 7K+ or so.

For me bitcoin price will most probably fall. If we think about how it works this days and many question has been raise if it could surpass FIAT and other way of payment where in it has being suppress by its different capability.

In my speculation bitcoin price won't reach back to its current high since it is understandable that the cryptocurrency market right now is struggling hard from a huge crisis. If this will continue then many altcoins will fall down again.

Crypto is goung to rock in the currency market. Everyday we do see new ICO is getting in with new projects that is going to certainly succeed in the market. Every project is succeeding in its projects listing on exchanges.The project do capture the market well. So Bitcoin will be very good in future, current price is not good. But in future surely the price will increase. The price goes down again this makes panic to invest in bitcoin.

addiction is always confusing, and everyone sees what they want to see. for example, everyone expects growth after the elimination of positions on CME, but it never coincided with reality

CME futures don't affect the price of bitcoin, bitcoin prices affect the CME markets. It's the inverse of how futures markets are supposed to work. In traditional futures markets, you are trading actual contracts that link directly to the price of the commodity. So if you buy a contract for 100 barrels of oil at $100 each that expires on December 1, on December first you are obligated to take delivery of the 100 barrels of oil. Ultimately what happens as a trader is you sell that contract to someone who actually wants to take the delivery of the oil because they're going to refine it. If the price of oil is below $100 on that date, you're going to be selling that contract at a loss. If it's above $100, you'll be selling that contract at a gain. But in either case, the contract is literally for 100 barrels of oil, and it is settled in the commodity itself (in this case oil), so the price of the futures market directly impacts the price of oil because oil supply is affected through buying selling of the futures contracts.

In bitcoin futures, the future is not linked to bitcoin. You never settle in bitcoin, you always settle in cash. So if you buy a contract for $6000 and the price closes at $7000 on the settlement date, you just get paid the $7000 and make $1000 profit and no bitcoin moves anywhere. If it settles at $5000, the you get the $5000 back but you're down $1000 because you paid $6000 for the contract. But because no bitcoin moves, the price the future contract settles at has zero impact on the price of bitcoin.

I believe that there is a bright future for cryptocurrency since there are a lot of people who keeps on investing today and make's the market price to pump even more.

The harder it is, the better the chance. Many people are still successful at this point. Maybe it does not go as fast as before. But it remains stable for those who know the timing. Will succeed and achieve the goal.

It can be said that 2018 feels bitter for investors, this is because the open war of haters who are afraid of the future of bitcoin, they do everything they can to kill bitcoin, but I am sure that the future of bitcoin cannot be stopped.

Bitcoin price is not stable one. So it time to increase and down. Bitcoin price is not easy to guess. So people check the market price every time. Last week price increased but now price is down. So people follow the price list.

Things are changing very rapidly in the global market and there will be soon good news about the bitcoin usage. I mean recently I read the news that Indian central bank that is RBI is making changes with their previous decisions and may implement the use of crypto currency to digitalise their own currency. Thus bringing the digitalisation of their currency use.

If more such news kept coming in the future then bitcoin will be adopted a lot and soon there will be mass adoption of the same. :-)

This is going to be fun to watch as the bitcoin price will rise accordingly!!

I think the future will be a best future coz i believe that the bitcoin will be worldwide and the other country will accept the bitcoin with all their heart .

I think the futures are what driving the price to bear in my own opinion. I think and I have been saying this for a while, whales found the easiest way to make money ever thanks to futures. They just buy bitcoin when its low, when the time for the short futures to liquidate comes they sell all of their coins and that creates bitcoin fall in prices and when it drops they make money from the short futures so now they have more money, since bitcoin is low they go and get some more bitcoins which stops the fall and they get a lot of bitcoin again which creates a small increase in price as well, than they do this all over again and again and again.

Actually futures prices reflect expectations of traders about the future. In another words  futures prices show us approximate future prices of particular assets and no more. Do you think such information is useful for an analysis? Maybe but I am not sure. A futures is a very speculative asset so I am not sure whether it will be useful to make an analysis by analyzing futures, My opinion that a futures is useful for hedging and speculating and no more but if you are not a professional trader I would not recommend to you using futures in your trading because this kind of a financial asset is incredible dangerous.

20K expectant for this year is like a dream product. There must be something positive to rise to 20K. On the contrary, the level of difficulty of your mining has increased a lot. The miners may soon give up bitcoin digging. We need something positive.

Bitcoin might be in a bad shape at the present but according to many speculation its price might surpass its all time high and break to 20k$ mark this year or might be later.

Bitcoin futures will be much better than current, it is definitely true. Bitcoin market price is now somewhat lower at around 8000. But it is hoped that the price of bitcoin will soon increase and in the year 2020 it will exceed 30000 dollars.

The decline in the cryptocurrency market over the past few days is due to the maturity of the Bitcoin futures contract. In addition, by selling a large amount of Bitcoin and putting pressure on market prices, they have maximized profits in short positions in futures contracts. Capital inflows into the electronic money industry are limited due to lack of financial institutions.

i think the role of government is needed to maintain the development of bitcoin. with the policy from government, i am sure there will be many new investors who support it, because that will increase investor confidence
