Topic: Bitcoin Price Could Surpass $15,000 This Week: Max Keiser (Read 4702 times)

Everything can happen in crypto. But the prediction without any reason or rational analysis is also bad and never trust it instantly.
i've also see the prediction from that anime avatar person, he's became famous since bitcoin sudden pump days ago.
I'm sure he's just predicting without any analysis but someone make it viral and looks like trap us to buy at high price

This is the current price of bitcoin in the market 9,125.23$ and as you can see the price is still too far in the price of 15,000$ and in 16,000$. One day left before the end of this month so basically the prediction about the price of bitcoin that will hit the 16,000$ will not happen and I know all of us are have different predictions about the price. Lastly, there are only 2 months left before the end of this year 2019 so do you think the price of bitcoin might totally hit the 15,000$? or we might experience a bad market at the end of this year?

every one could called them self as an expert while make prediction about crypto price.but its difficult to proved that our prediction will be true.in the past ,we heard many time that bitcoin "will die,bitcoin price will bomm " and many other word.but till now their prediction not proven yet.we have to be fair ,predicting bitcoin price was not easy.and if we heard btc will pass 15k in this week,just let it them and dont focus about.there are many job that could to do to earn money.

Easier to say but harder to admit mistakes as bitcoin didn't reach $15K.
We know bitcoin has great potential, but let's be more rational regarding predict the price because bitcoin's volatility makes it easier to pump and dump it, we have seen bitcoin price increase thousands of dollars a day and vice versa.
Nevertheless, it just a prediction, someone can be bullish or bearish, nothing wrong with it, people should not take it too seriously due no one knows the future for certain.

some people say that price will reach 16000 per btc before end of this month (4chan bitcoin prediction ) ;i think it hard for price bitcoin rise above 16000 per btc at octobre because 1 day not enought for make big pump.
who think that price can rise to those high level 15000 usd per btc  or 16000 usd per btc not this week but this next  2 day ?

Similar to Tom Lee, the skeptical me would speculate that Max Keisler has surrendered and has sold some bitcoins with good returns. He might hype bitcoin later again after he buys the bottom hehehe.


Max Keiser’s Twitter feed fell silent on September 23, and is to date, yet to resurface. There was no indication that an extended break was inbound in any of the 48 tweets and retweets posted by the account that day. To say Keiser is prolific on the platform is an understatement, which makes the subsequent silence all the more puzzling.

Has Max Keiser literally run out of things to say? Or did something else happen which stole his Twitter mojo?

Well, quite the opposite in my opinion.  We all know Bitcoin market has lots of surprises and had shamed lots of TA specialists.  Halving bring a lot of hype to Bitcoin and if not, those who played the market make it happen.  I would have agree with you that Bitcoin will not touch $15k on or before and after the halving but we must not forget these groups that operates and dictates the market sentiments.  Max Keiser probably failed on his assessment when he said that Bitcoin could surpass $15k that week but it is too early to say whether Bitcoin will not surpass $15k on its halving. Considering the stuff I stated before, I believe that there is a huge possibility that Bitcoin will do surpass $15k on its halving.

Bitcoin users always have big expectations at the end of the year although there is no confirmation that brings the price rise. To my opinion Bitcoin will not touch again 15k this year and halving will not contribute that much that would reflect on price rise. Probably the price will remain in current range.

Tom Lee the bagholder hehehe? Listening to him is similar to listening to the altcoin and ICO token bagholders who hype in the altcoin subforum. Similar patterns and similar ways of speaking.

It is also very amusing how the people react to him hehe.

Actually bitcoin price has the tendency of rising to that target every day, I mean the chances of it getting there are always there, but every time that the value wants to go for a push, the bears just suddenly bring them into end and that is why we have not seen the surge. When Kaiser predicted what was predicted, the potential of bitcoin might be there then, but as we have very strong bears in the market, the value becomes unachievable.

Time is coming that with or without bears, bitcoin will push for that value, and I can say that it would be before the year runs out, and that will surely be around December before Christmas approaches. Maybe with the little season of Christmas, the price could even grow a little bit higher than that $15k.

This kind of speculation is normal before and especially during the uptrend. If we can see the trend now, its quiet impossible to reach $15k within a month or even more so don't expect for this. A small pump right now can be the start and a good sign for us, let's keep wait and hope for the best. Bitcoin price will go up before the halving or before any new updates with bitcoin. We need more influence from a good people, the bull can still happen.

that is what the "brokers" have been traditionally doing for years. they always tell their investors not to pull out of the market because them keeping their money in will give these "brokers" who have nothing at risk a lot of commissions. that is why Lee has been assuring his newbie investors that price is going to a new ATH all through 2018 during the drops, basically every day!

Agreed. Tom Lee is the funniest because he appears to be the most desperate. He might have more than $100 million of investors' money on bitcoin that went in late. What if his $14,000 fair value for bitcoin is the breakeven of the investment hehehe?

The problem with bullish no matter what is going is people see it as bullshit instead of anything especially significant.   The reason Keiser is so adamant Bitcoin must rise is he equally believes Dollar will fall, this does not happen on demand or in perfect proportion.    We dont even know it will happen at all, many things could react to a decline in dollar, to loose standards and to vast generational changes.
  The biggest thing I think is the change to global reserve assets and the system we've used since the last world war is the steps on that path are a decade each.   Speculators may fail to realise we or any asset can fall quite dramatically within that decade for many years, we dont have to rise now.   Weak dollar is a bit of a tailwind to every counter to it but its not going to happen in a simple way imo.
 It could take the rest of my life for this story to play out and in theory FIAT could continue to dominate and control markets in a similar way so long politics, nations and their people continue to support even a failing system; it may continue despite much ongoing loss to value.

I think the issue with the prediction is that week was mentioned as if it was already written and the task was to read it out. Price will get to $15,000 but who knows when?
Anyway, it is speculation and we don't have to take it all to heart.

You see for yourself that most of this claiming they are expert in crypto currency trading and that they can forecast what will happen to the crypto currency market in future are really expert what so ever as they are just making speculation what may anday not happen in reality.

It seems the price of Bitcoin has not risen to $15,000. I think it’s not serious to make any forecasts and name the future price, because the market is very unpredictable and, depending on the news, can go in any direction. For example, who could predict today's growth of almost all altcoins?

I think such forecasts are just an attempt to guess the future price, because I often read the forecasts of famous people, but they very rarely managed to guess the future price. This is nothing more than just speculation and an attempt to raise prices with your statement, so I think you should not take such statements seriously.

I think that it is very probable that yes, but it will rise due to the effect that BAKKT is already causing and some economic crises in some South American countries, where mainly the demand for Bitcoin has increased and if we add the amount of news that has been generated In these last weeks about Bitcoin, it could be assumed that a large number of people are entering the market and generating more demand, more purchases of Bitcoin and its price will therefore rise.

This shows how difficult it is to follow prediction anywhere, we all saw the price trend throughout August. This is capable of making some people to make sudden buy but any purchase at this time is still a good price. We can only see something around 15k by the end of the year and  breaking the previous ATH will be after halving.

Definitely Tom Lee is the most funny, in the last months he has been avoiding make many predictions. did he finally realize that he's failing a lot?


they are called: " bitcoin bull "


This time he has not set a specific date for the price to reach this value, so no one will charge him anything

Max has debated vs Schiff on this topic I think but before Bitcoin Max was in orbit of the financial crisis calling for the fall of all major banks as corrupt and no longer productive.   He has always been an animated fellow in this regard

Years back he was a stock broker and probably in the employ of one of these major banks so he has at least seen the business from the inside also and knows the score.
  Also I think before Bitcoin I can remember him advocating silver coins and the rise of this as a replacement for FIAT, crash JP Morgan if you remember that slogan and that bank had a short on silver but if I remember right they also owned a majority share in a silver mine so really this was a time based arbitrage and price in market vs reserves in the ground, etc.
  Silver did go from single digits to $50 around the same time gold more then doubled, played perfectly there was a very profitable trade there but sadly it reversed right back down.   8 years later we are just entering back into a precious metal breakout scenario I think, its a been a while but decades is how these mines move.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghBkuuk9vpI
8 years ago, buy silver & gold.   We were developing a trend that should have been sold within a couple years,  so yea it was ok to buy as trader or if you were ok with holding it 10 years.    Just so long as nobody has unrealistic expectations I dont mind Max Keiser but all the same people get carried away thinking it'll always be clear skies ahead if you buy some inverse dollar asset when its often not and he doesnt help in that regard.  
   I dont find him realistic of the whole picture and the interaction between finance assets across world trade.

Have we think it really possible, cause I guess not. It maybe I consider myself not optimistic but seeing the market condition, it could not even touch at $14k.
If Max Keiser will be right this time, people would love him and bring back respect from the Bitcoiners but if not, nothing could change and still people will consider Max as a liar.

That would take a pretty bull rush to get there.  I try to read into a lot of the predictions based on analysis on to come up with the fact that most people are just throwing darts on a price board.  Any reason why you are bullish enough to think a 50% price increase in weeks time?

$28k?

Which character does the forum consider more of a joker? Tom Lee or Max Keiser? Tom Lee is funny for me because we know he has invested hundreds of millions of Fundstrat investors' money in bitcoin. He is under pressure hehehe.

However, Max Keiser is very annoying for me. What does he want to be? A bitcoin influencer?



Max Keiser Sets $28,000 Bitcoin Price Target as Market Falters

Bitcoin permabull Max Keiser set an exuberant $28,000 bitcoin price target, citing its escalating hash rate and Game Theory.

On Twitter, Keiser reasoned that per the "protocol's hard-coded Game Theory, hash precedes bitcoin."

Keiser interprets that to mean that a $28,000 bitcoin price target is now in play. So is a bull run around the corner? Who knows?

Source https://www.ccn.com/max-keiser-28000-bitcoin-price-target/

Lol... I was actually waiting to see something else. I even went ahead to check the price in the market before making the post and unfortunately the price has even gone below the amount $10,000 mark instead of it increasing as earlier predicted. The point is any one that have make any prediction is just an expression of an opinion and the shame is on the individual who took the prediction in without subjecting it to a test as to whether its something to run with or not.

Its actually nice to express an opinion on the positive side as its good to keep hope alive in the face of several challenges that is being faced by bitcoin in the crypto market.

Eating his dick implied blowing himself. Anyhow I can’t wait for bitcoin to go to >50k 

Well it hasn't surpassed the $15 k mark yet, but it could possibly in a couple of weeks. We're currently in a buy phase as the price dropped below $9500. I do not think that would be any reason to panic. I predicted on a thread here that we would hit the $15k mark before the end of September, and I'm still quite optimistic of that happening

But do not follow predictions or suggestions. Do your own research and make your own decisions.

@Wilhem. He should be right. If he was wrong, he will have the longest day with the doctor. Longer compared to Max Keiser's week and Tom Lee's year hehehe.

Ow well as long as John McAfee is right 

@Wilhelm. Long week for Max Keisler, however, it is a much longer year for Tom Lee waiting for the new all time high of $25k hehee.

Still waiting for 15k..... very long week 

@1Referee. Agreed. Tom Lee is cofounder of Fund Strat which also invests in stocks. Tim Draper is also a venture capitalist. The 2 know how to invest money.

What was Max Keiser before bitcoin?

It's actually quite important in the sense that it will be a new yearly high, and that also means continuation of the bullish run that we're in. Currently people can only hope to have that continuation but there is a fair probability that we'll be heading down to test some wider time frame moving averages, which isn't really the end of the world.

Max is pretty much the Peter Schiff of Bitcoin. He keeps rehashing the same arguments hoping that he will be right eventually. There generally isn't much risk in what he's talking about.

Problem is probabilities, it was not stated as certainty so its hard to be wrong about the possibles.  It wasn't even that grand a prediction and he is a presenter for a TV show so par for the course.   15k isnt that important but its an easily digestible headline to place alongside the next episode of the show.    Hopefully they have more to talk about then just price, doesn't mean much by itself.

Short term price can spike to 20k while long term we return to the 200 day or 200 week average even, most likely we stay near the mean and spikes dont hold even if that price exists for a moment

Prediction is what it is and that's the reason someone has to be guided before relying on someone's prediction. At most, let your own analysis support the same prediction too. Anyway, nothing is wrong with max prediction because price might go back to his point of $15,000.

This is kinda the proof that no "expert" in bitcoin world knows what they are talking about, they keep saying this will happen and that will happen and %99 of the time that doesn't happen. I don't understand why the media can't just listen to reasonable smart crypto people but only go for the crazy ones.

I mean surely it gets a lot of clicks and that is what they are after but do they really think that we wouldn't listen to reasonable people neither? Do you think if you could speak with Erik Vorhees we will not read that? I mean I actually do not click these type of idiot peoples interviews whereas I would actually read and even share people like Eriks interviews and I have done that, on telegram shared his youtube talks and so forth as well. These idiots are useless and doesn't worth our time.

Yeah, that proves that if we see the same prediction, we don't have just to believe, but we need to analyze by ourselves, so we know the current situations. That will make us get a clue on what we need to do related to the market movements. In the future, there will be many more prediction from other people, which will give situations on the market.

Bitcoin price itself need to get the right moment to increase higher so the price can break $12k. But unfortunately, no one will know the time, and we could only predict.

For the update, almost two weeks had passed and it did not surpassed the expected $15,000 price. It went up to $10k but went down again at $9k. This just indicates that prediction of Max  Keiser did not happen and that prediction is just a plain prognosis that may or may not gonna hit. If many of crypto user's follow Max, his prediction is not accurate and doesn't even touched $12,000. Then you might lose your trades with his imprecised prediction.

oh yeah, could is the analysts favorite word and this is why i have stoped giving to much about analysts... i'm not blaming only max keiser, its always the same about all analysts... stock market, commodities.
but as already said in an earlier post at this topic, max keiser is a permabull. i don't think he does his ta without hopium to the upside... 

True, it is so volatile that we have traded along the range of $3200-$13000 in the last five months or so. But I'm still banking that the Bakkt news will surely bring potential investors in the market. Fresh blood that will boost the price next month, thus continuing this mini bull run we have seen so far. We might not touch new ATH at the end of the year. But it will carry enough momentum in 2020 prior to the halvening, so lets see if those predictions will hit their mark.

Lol, my dear, you would not so much blame them, they are all relying on technical analysis that use to be blind sometimes too to this because I believe that when he made that prediction, he must have thoroughly analyses the market using the charts available for him and I guess the chart pointed him to that direction, but I would still not blame him at all, because there was already a clause to his prediction, he already said the it “COULD”, which means that it is under probability that it will rise that week.

The market is just so much volatile that it could really get very difficult to predict, but I believe that something will surely happen that will make the price to surge, maybe we could even be lucky to get the bull run this time around.

Too many people get into the situation you say just because they don't have a precise goal, they can't estimate the value of bitcoin, and their psychology is often too greedy, the illusion of value and rich obsession made them very confident in some people's predictions. But perhaps after a long time and so many lessons, they will know that no prediction is completely accurate, information about predictions is just to reinforce our belief in investment, but creating a relaxed mind, not a blind faith, use knowledge to make wise decisions

Have you thoroughly checked the historical data of bitcoin once again to see that there was no announcement at any point when bitcoin chooses to surge in value, we just wake up suddenly to see that the price has surged without having any valid reason for it. As you are not seeing this price become visible this month, we might have some financial institutions, or whales or very rich individual that has already set a date this month to buy bitcoin at large and then we see the market situation turning around again.

We cannot categorically say never when it comes to price increase, we just have to keep preparing like tomorrow will be the time or the surge, and then do everything that would make us not to miss the opportunity to buy at the current cheap price if need be.

Well, current price shows that prediction was completely wrong, as expected. But the problem is that users very often believe in such predictions, like persons who put them public were some kind of Bitcoin prophets. Then the problems appear because they also make their investment decisions on such predictions and at the end they get disappointed. Will they ever learn?

10 days have passed already, where is 15K? Every prediction of these "popular people" is always wrong, I have an impression that all they want is to attract more attention or maybe want to benefit themselves and drop positive seed in overall but seems they always fail and their wrong predictions makes everything even worse. A lot of people on this forum give more accurate predictions than those "popular people" who in reality have no idea where is price going.

they don't care. the point of making these guesses is to just be heard and gain popularity as a so called "bitcoin market expert" (more like self claimed experts though). otherwise they wouldn't have made this many nonsense guesses every day.
the thing about bitcoin is that the short term is never predictable. the only thing we can predict is the long term and for that we can only say "price will rise" by how much and in what time frame is again impossible to predict.

@milewilda. Someone should make a poll on who is the worst underachieving permabull of the year. Something similar to the Razzies but for the cryptospace hehehe.

I would like to hear out on what he would say on the current price of Btc? We are heading or going down. Another price prediction or speculation had failed into these popular people. lol

I think bitcoin price still hard to reach $15k this month because every time we see bitcoin price reach the highest price, it will get down for a week and although the price can increase, the increase is not much. So I think we will need to wait for long to see the bitcoin price can break every highest price and then we will see $15k later. Maybe we are going to see that price in the next month, but we don't know the truth.

yes it has and as i have expected... btc has not passed 15k - sideways with a little bit down movement. am i a guru now?  This predictions are to funny, in the end no one knows what will happen... and calling a 3k pump in a week is a bit very optimistic.

Probability has us able to do anything in theory, especially with Bitcoin which is so volatile it can swing to both directions by the thousands.
    I have to go on what the outlook on the chart reflects right now and it has a negative momentum to it with us below the 8 day moving average.   We lost the daily trend over some months and we've slipped below some Fib levels.
Even after all that you could just take 11,250 as your line in the sand.   If we fail to maintain this price level then it could be taken as a negative overall.  I'd suggest watching this level on a 4hr bar or daily is reasonable.

Looks like his trick didnt click.
Some do this to increase the value of bitcoin making a lot of ruckus on social media and making people FOMO.
He failed. Had been a week and didnt go that far.
Again the volatile nature of bitcoin wins.
Next time be careful with those manipulators. They do it for them to sell while you are buying.

Those who can actually read the price movement will keep quiet.  The reason is that.. they wanted less competition.  The less the people know about the next price, the greater their chance of profits.  Often time those who are too loud about price prediction are just a bunch of person who pretend to know it all and wish people will follow their prediction and actually just trying their luck.  The proof about this is the fact that there are too many prediction that were wrong.

Bitcoin started having a bullish trend before he even predicted that, so if he is predicting on a value that is already gaining momentum, then he should better be accurate about the prediction, if there is going to be an excuse why a prediction would not come through, then he better not predict.  I honestly don’t see any point predicting when we know that the market has volatility, and anything could change the value either downtrend or uptrend at any time without announcing.

When I make perdition of any coin, I make people understand that there is a chance that it might increase, which already shows that I am just speculating, but we have some people that speculate like they are so sure of themselves, and then when the time comes and it doesn’t happen, they keep silent over it.

This is the problem with predicting prices. Many "influencers" (paid shills) predict a certain price, create a certain expectation and... the traders/speculators are free to dump.
It could be something like this what happened, or it could not. We'll never know. We just know that predictions should always worth nothing.

We are still far away from $15k because the price now still below than $12k although the sign to increase is going to strong. Perhaps, we will see it in this the next month, but we could hope that it will happen in a short time.

We don't know what the real reason for this is, and we could only guess because the market is run without any sign. But I still believe that soon, the bitcoin price will break the high price and will slightly increase to a higher price and it will back to the highest price.

Mainstream media attention that is boring and regular is not the same as mainstream media attention when it was 20k.

I don't know if its the same in every country but for a while in 2017 December peak times there was bitcoin in every news channel in my country, not just newspapers (which all of them gave at least one big headlines about bitcoin during that time) but also news channels talking about bitcoin and having panel of guests who were national experts on finance and some CEO's of crypto related companies here, so basically it was like pure bitcoin era for television and newspapers.

All websites mentioned it as well. That is a lot different than weekly "how is btc doing" type of deal, thats regular now and nobody cares about it, we need that huge mainstream media attention back.

Has Max Keiser's week already passed? I reckon that he might be competing versus Tom Lee as the most inaccurate, comical and most hated human bitcoin price predictor in the cryptospace hehehe.

Everyone could make predictions about bitcoin price so it on our own belief if we follow it. Price ranging above 11$ but as the current condition about the price is we are really not certain if we can see bitcoin could surpass $15k. Definitely, no one knows when it will occur in the market.

Just see the predictions, most of them are saying that bitcoin will reach 14000$ - 15000$ but when it will happen ? No one is telling us this.
The bitcoin moved around 12,000$ and then went back to 11,390$.  There are very few real traders who can perfectly read the charts and predict precisely.

This is a forum about speculation. If you are here, then you are paying attention to every sort of predictions.

You are right. There are always many people that called themselves expert people but they only make some guesses about bitcoin's price. I personally don't pay attention to such people and their predictions. 

There is the mystery word. "COULD".

Another bullish prediction but in the end, it didn't even went to $13,000. I have enough of this bullish predictions already. I'll just wait for the movement of Bitcoin and will accumulate more base on how I read charts. This is another news hype for Bitcoin but unfortunately, it didn't happened. I think the investors matured a bit regarding news hypes.

Bitcoin has already had a lot of mainstream media attention, and it doesn't seem to be over yet as long as the price manages to hold around current levels. Bitcoin did well, altcoins not so much and that's the reality of the day.

The thing here is that when Bitcoin dips below $10k again, and stays there for quite a while, the media attention will decline and you'll be back to square one. This is why I don't like focusing too much on the media side of things.

The media is just a price surfer and has its own agenda to cover Bitcoin related news-- they know exactly what kind of news coverage they want to push, and this is something we shouldn't contribute to.

Bitcoin this year has gone up from its low all the way to $8000 without much media coverage. Only because of how more likely it became that the price would break $10k the mainstream media started to cover it again. 

But OP's topic is about the prediction of Max Keiser this week.  So I guess Max Keiser will possibly fail big time in this prediction.  Sub $12k to $15k in just a day has a very slim chance IMHO.  I wonder how these people who failed in their prediction feels.  Do they feel any embarassment about it?

The market on a good rhythm and looking strong at the moment .I don't know how this news will affect on the market .But its a possible price that could be touched .The price is around 11500$ at the moment Not so far from 15K$ .Hopefully we can watch 15k$ in the recent time .

He overestimated the value of bitcoin but the thing is, the price still moved up. He may be wrong with the final price but it did have a bullish trend until yesterday. It is typical of him to overestimate so I was actually expecting the price to be within this range.

People are waiting $15k for profit, nothing else - many invest when they see that $10k will hold and that this is not bull trap. If you invest $1000 recently, some $500 would be nice profit, but this time of year it never was good time for price pumping. Even if whales try to start new FOMO, they forget it is a summer time on northern hemisphere, and this is bad time for investing in anything. If someone does not agree with this theory, just look at this forum - many members are inactive or less active in last 30-40 days.

Max Keiser is just trying to shoot blindly on target which is movable, and it is no surprise that he missed it, question is just for how much.

It is actually going that route right now, it was under 10k just couple days ago and now its close to 12k (above 11.5k at least) and that means we are actually in a upwards momentum. People are waiting for 15k like its some kind of magic number that would solve all the problems but I feel like any upwards movement is quite good right now since we need some sort of hype. However without actually keep going up there won't be too much to really look for, sure the increase is amazing but we have to keep it up and create some sort of hype.

When bitcoin goes too high than even newspapers start to write about it and that makes the worlds difference to us, more people start to join and more money starts to pour into the market and than not only bitcoin but all other coins take advantage of it.

This was just a prediction afterall.
If you see the price of Bitcoin now, then it's way down.
So the price are both growing amd falling.
There will be a continuous growth of streak,  if the marketcap of BTC increases.
Let's hope for the best.

You can not totally believe any first-time investor to Bitcoin that he can sure predict the movement of bitcoin by just seeing that it can, I really think that the range in the price that time or back then surely can not surpass even $12,000 USD or maybe Max Keiser is trying a method where he may pull out some naive person just wants to profit faster and that could shake things up and tilt the price of bitcoin if he pulls something like crazy statement without further thinking over it.

Well, Research and see some real expert in the community that had pulled out predictions that came true.

Lol, you think that they don’t know that they are being naïve about some of their statements, of course they now, but they just have to do their work has an influencer. If you were in their shoes too, you would do the same thing, because most of these influencers have lots of their money tied in the investment, and the best way for them to protect their investment is to keep promoting it in the best way that they can.

The week has ended already and I have still not seen the sign of his prediction coming through, maybe in his world, they are simply referring to month as week, because that is when it is quite visible to me for the value of bitcoin to break that barrier, for now, I think this current price is what the week may end with, while we see what another new week will hold for us.

Obviously, nothing happens just because Max Keiser said so. It's just an empty prediction based on geopolitical turmoil.

If people are tired of speculating they shouldn't be here. They chose to invest but lost, that's not Bitcoin's fault. Bitcoin has gone up from below $4000 to almost $14,000 this year.... If people didn't manage to benefit from that run even once, they suck.

If you bought in during 2017's bull run at +$10,000 levels, you could have lowered your average tremendously by buying below $4000 (which you had months for to do). If people did that they would be in the profit right now. Smart capital allocation is definitely not on people's mind. 

So what happen now?this the week is almost done yet bitcoin struggles to hit atleast $12k?though this might sound positive but misleading because people here are tired of speculating what we need is actual happening and profit lol
Imagine the whole 2018 brings us burden and so much speculations but what happen!?people are trapped and until now hard to atleast recovered the losses

Everyone will predict the best and highest price of Bitcoin, of course.
But that is only two news possibilities, true and false.
End of 2019, in 2020 many say the same thing bitcoin can reach $ 15,000 to $20,000.
But it's all just predictions, just look at this week or this year as high as the price of Bitcoin will arrive.
The problem is, invest now at a price of $ 11,000 to sell for $ 15,000 this week.

It seems he missed the mark.

We are probably going to have a correction right now.

Weekend is here and we are in 11k+, I don't see any 15k price coming anytime sooner.
If the price suddenly pumps up to 15k just a day then something is definitely wrong.
The price of 15k is achievable but there is a likelihood that it will be on the closing of the year. Though, his price prediction seems way more realistic than others.
My concern is that many might want to sell because of the issue of with banking and centralized government.

There are 3 days left to finish the week and the price is $ 11500 and without any chance of reaching $15000, which leads me to question:

What reasons did he have for making this prediction that is impossible to achieve? is he aware that he should not make price predictions that he knows will be impossible to achieve? Because I can't understand why he makes such a prediction.


I think it would be good if Max Keiser read this thread's post, maybe he would realize that people are not naive

There is a great resistance at 12k so if we could break it then there could be a possibility to reach that price, but looking at the hourly chart I can see there were three attempts by the bulls to break away from that price and they failed, which explains the current decrease in the price, we may test 12k again a few days later but for what it seems there is not enough strength to do so, so I doubt this prediction will become true since it seems we have already reached the full potential of this bullish movement.

Another fully-bullish take on the current price action. Volumes are surprisingly low amidst the strong taking of the bulls in the scenario. Most bullish figures also foresee a $13000 crossing just this week and a push to $15000 isn't impossible if we manage to sustain everything of this. The continuous CNY downtrend might trigger some filthy rich Chinese businessmen to find some hedge for their assets, and of course, BTC is one of them that's for sure. Expect the volume to surge if more news develops from China and CNY. This is a potential profit maker right here right now, though always with a risk of an insta-crash just like what happened when we reached similar levels last month.

Well, the recent up-surge was long due because it had become stagnant for too long since it recorded the last new high of $13800, the correction has been lot and I believe that any moment from now, the market should be strong again to test back $13k, from there, we will know if there is going to be another correction that will force it down again or continue to make it surge.

For now, we better still be watching and see if this currency value will be able to be sustained and pull more investors that will make it surge further to break further barrier that will make it possible for us to see some of those price predictions of yours, but what I am very optimistic about is that before the end of the year, it is possible to see it stabilize on $15k before we may witness another big bull run.

That was a very aggressive prediction, $15,000 this week, man, I'm excited but I'm somehow skeptical it will happen in just  a short time.
I'd like to express my target if I still remember it correctly, that was $15K before the end of the 3rd quarter, $15K this week seems not too realistic for me.

Well, it has to believe that $15k is reachable. Max Keiser sees something good to the market today and they also did it before.
However, isn't be enough to see that bitcoin will be reaching back into $20k again and ain't possible to make another ATH more than it did last bull run.
Though Max Keiser is confident with, still we can't be at 100% ensured for the volatility makes it difficult.

In fact I think Keiser could be right.  The Yuan devaluation seems to have triggered a small bull run on BTC in China and other asian countries.
"Bitcoin has had a monumental morning on the Asian trading session. With a 10 percent surge on the day BTC has reached a three week high while in China, the Yuan collapses to a 10-year low against the greenback."

So reaching the $15 000 mark in the next few days, would not be so unbelievable IMO.

Anyone could predict anything and come up with a valuation but i do not see any substance here to substantiate his claims, he is forecasting something that is coming in the future, the centralized government and the banking is not a new issue and it will be there is the future too, the trade war between China is the main reason that is being said and the Brexit is another reason that is being said, but i am not sure how he can predict that the price would cross $15k this week  .

With China devaluing its currency.  USD/CNH (China Offshore Spot) now being the highest since 2008.  Watch this space, as capital outflow goes into BTC as China tries to crackdown on outflows.

I don't know about $15K by this week, as I'm long term bullish towards the end of 2021.

I still do so too. I wanted to be bullish last year, but the way people were expecting a bull run to initiate made me really uncomfortable and therefore don't rule out lower lows, and oh boy was my contrarian thinking right.

Currently the sentiment still seems to be on the bullish side as far as dumb money goes, but this time it's at least accompanied by very bullish short term price action. We will see what happens, but least things are looking good.

As far as Max Keiser goes, I can't stand this idiot. I get it that he is a perma bull and wants Bitcoin to go up, but his mentality and actions are retarded. He has torn and burnt actual $50 dollar bills. Who does that? Buy Bitcoin with it you creep.

I agree with @max on this. The resistance at $11222 has been broken this morning and at the same time bitcoin is trying to break $11,600 resistance level and that means the next level is around $13,222 and $13,880. With the current momentum and positive news related to china developing her digital currency hitting the market this morning we should expect another round of pump from that region later in the day. I am currently bullish and because of this predictions, I will keep holding.

This is unlikely to be due to the reasons indicated here, but Bitcoin today has risen in price to 11,544 dollars. This month, I do not expect a significant increase in the price of bitcoin, including up to $ 15,000 at the end of this month. Now is the period of vacation period  and relative traditional calm in all markets. Therefore, I think that the growth of the cryptocurrency market is possible from the second half of next month. However, the price movements of bitcoin are very difficult to predict, sometimes it starts to rise or fall in price, contrary to any logic. Therefore, everything is possible. Observe current prices.

remember what happened when price surpassed $4k level this year?
now we are in a similar situation. we had the correction, then the panic and uncertainty where "money" has been waiting on the sidelines to get in after seeing the signal. that signal can be if price breaks another level, probably if it goes above $12k with the same speed and gets closer to $13k it will shoot above $15k easily. unlike the $4k situation this will be a small rise though and won't even need nearly as much money.

He is worse than our own favorite analyst Tom Lee hehehe. However, I would not be annoyed if he was right!

I reckon everyone might still be feeling the disappoinment of 2018 hehe.

Although, the price momentum posed by the bitcoin market seems strong but Max prediction usually don't come to pass and I believe these people usually do this to boost the price of the market so they could sell their holding for a good profit while so people are set as prey. However, this is just a prediction and the current momentum posed by the bitcoin market doesn't mean the prediction will totally happen cause a whale can change the market trend in just a second.

Hmmm $15k? Let's be realistic, I doubt that we can have all the money to pour this week just to even break $12k so I don't see the price hitting that range. Unless we have something very positive that will really sway investors to invest more at this point.

I highly doubt that bitcoin will surpass 15k this week. max keiser is a perma bull.. I guess btc will go sideways for some more days, i would not be unhappy if i'm wrong and bitcoin climbs really to 15k but... i doubt it

We need to believe I know and we all know bitcoin is unpredictable crypto currency but yes ofcourse I still always looking for positive side and I believe if the bitcoin hit 15,000$ margin possible the resistance become consistent to grow up their price become bullish.

You'll never know maybe next week Bitcoin will surpass the $15k resistance or it might drop again at $9k.
Anyway, i don't see the problem of centralized government and banking as a reason that price would rise at $15k this week.
Even $11k or $12k is a bit hard to reach, we were just lucky to see the price reaching $13k last month but that was it.
No more growing of the price after that once price correction hit the market everything would drop accordingly.

We are not prepared to reach 15k this month, 12.5k or even 13k (ATH this years) is enough and can be solid, but 15k in this month seems impossible
If we hit 15k I'm sure will be only for a few minutes and then will come a strong correction, so I prefer BTC rising steady and slowly towards 12k

I hope that's not just dreams

Max was always too bullish for his own sake. In May 2018 he predicted 28 thousand dollar bitcoin and we all know how it went down. Now he's talking about 100 thousand but his predictions rely on the dollar crashing and no longer being a world reserve currency. If you believe in a dollar crashing soon you can also believe in Keiser's price prediction.

Early Bitcoin investor Max Keiser tweeted today that he foresees Bitcoin price smashing through the $15,000 mark sometime this week amid troubles with centralized government and banking.
