All of my friends group discussions are ending with this statement now. Not the time to sell Bitcoin, accumulation time going on. I have sold some of my alts recently and converted them to btc as I wanted to hold more in terms of BTC. My opinion is that the rally will start after the halving so still time is there.
It'll be the most sensible thing to do honestly. You expect an increase on your assets so hodl on them until the increase comes in, then you sell it. And I like the enthusiasm most people here are showing right now. I mean, after almost 2 years of bad news and stale progress, we have already received great news regarding bitcoin's price. I cannot be more happier. Just hoping that less weak-hearted people come in here only to sell their coins after they find out it's not a get rich-scheme. Just hoping for the best.

I think with margin trading we won't have the pumps that we had before Bitcoin Futures and leverage trading appeared on the Scene for Bitcoin and Cryptos. Also, bear in mind most Bitcoin has been mined now and every time there is a halving, less and less Bitcoin is mined. The only thing that really can boost the price is more mass adoption and more people buying and holding to the point that it exceeds those trading on leverage. As soon as BTC pumps a little, you get the margin traders dumping and shorting the market. They don't have the patience to make the x 10 gains we used to see in the early days. When a trader is trading with 100:1 leverage, he only needs to see BTC move by a small percentage to make considerable gains, so if the shorters are making a ton of profit shorting with just a few percentages in gain, they will continue to do this. It's easy money for them. I still think Bitcoin is a great store of value compared to FIAT though.

I know that this halving event has a really great effect on the price of bitcoin but sometimes we should not use the chart of the past to make an accurate judgment for the future. Because the first halving of bitcoin was quite low, it was normal to push bitcoin's price up. but now bitcoin's price is quite high and fiat money is limited, people can push the price of bitcoin to $ 20k or $ 40k is very difficult this year. I predict that the price of bitcoin will only fluctuate around $ 12k and $ 14k.
But this is not the first time bitcoin will be going for 20k dollars. In 2017 this also happened and it continued for quite many days. If previous halving happened at low prices of bitcoin, same is the condition of bitcoin right now. Fiat is limited but not more limited than bitcoin itself. I believe that the halving is going to push price beyond 20k dollars easily since people are ready to invest big money before halving which will eventually add on to the effect of halving.

Many have high hopes for halving bitcoin, but it is not known for certain what will actually happen.
If you rely on previous data, the first thing that catches your eye is the period of "lull" that lasts about a year after the halving has occurred, the price rises only after that.
But there were only two such events, it was too small a sample of data to draw any definite conclusions.

I like the enthusiasm this year after 2 years of bearish market. We are still not in a bull market certainly. But if the sentiments stay strong, we might get in one. Right now market is still trying to overcome from bear cycle. This speculation surrounding the halving could help in giving that one push after that the positive sentiments will do the rest. Let's see how it all turns out. Even I am accepting a fomo before halving.
Hodl your coins!
Hodl your coins!
I wouldn't exactly call it overcoming the "bear cycle", rather the downwarding channel, which was actually a very good reality check after the overcoming of the bear market in 2019 and its rally to $13200. The trend downwards is just to put us back to the ground, the halving is still 3 months away, so there is still time for accumulation and weak hands to get shaky. Lucky for us, the halving is extremely bullish and people really try to hold on their coins for the next bull.

nice countdown mate but i already holds my Bitcoins and will keep holding this year,though i am having difficulties deciding which will be spend in case of emergency is that my Altcoins or part of my Bitcoin?because we cannot deny the fact that things will happen along the way while we are waiting for Halving this May.
of course, I'm not going to sell them, we are in the best time of accumulation period, I am trying to get as much as could on the best coin to hodl I even take a loan for this coming halving, its not a bank loan but a loan from a friend with very minimum interest, I'm confident that the profit I'll get is higher than my interest.
great job mate but please dont do it again of taking loans just to Invest in volatile market like Bitcoin,because the safest way to venture here is to avoid risking money that you cannot afford to lose. January 25, 2020, 09:15:20 AM

That is very right 
some people just don’t know about halving. Judging from the experience with the last two halving and the chart going the same way as of then, there’s likely to be another bull run after this Halving. I have not even seen anyone here mention anything about holding Bitcoin , they just talk about other things and they don’t talk about Hodl.
I am not good at day trading , so Hodl has been my thing since I started with Bitcoin and it has really been working out for me, though there are times I do experience loss.

The best accumulation period is 2018-2019 in my opinion.
Bitcoin today is quite expensive at $8k, although you can still invest on it, but the best price is around $3k-$6k. So we don't know if that opportunity will present itself again. As the price seems to be slowly peaking at $9k and we might see 5 digits again maybe next month.
As far as halving, I'm sure that there will be a lot of holders, not willing to sell and will wait till after the halving and see how their portfolio are going to make them profits. We're all waiting for another bullrun and all time high, and this is possible after weeks and months of the halving, so better be a HOLDer.

Unfortunatly, while you are hodling, you dont have any profits. To get them you should find right date for selling. And i guess, after halving will be right time for that
I think before bitcoin halving is a good time for us to sell bitcoins. Why not after halving like other halving? because Litecoin has let me down and I think this market is moving towards collecting coins for early selling. That happened to Litecoin, many sold off after halving and the price of Litecoin is now very low. So to keep your portfolio safe, you should set price targets and sell it before halving to avoid panic sell by whales.litecoin is different from btc and did you sell imediately before everyone sells out ? or you are only late , thats why you got caught up by a dump .
also , did the litecoin price rise before the halving ? if yes , you should sell yours and you dont need to wait for more because being greedy is something that lead us to loose . btc halving is approaching but these days we can see that btc price fell down . it could be that the down continue or become worst once the halving time is getting close

I think it has become a natural thing that cryptocurrency price movements will always go up and down, you only need to take advantage of the moment of coin price movements when they fall then you can buy them and when prices go up you can sell them, you should not be affected by buying coins when prices are high because it can make you stuck at expensive prices and make you lose because you can not use your trading capital.

Is it possible to know which prices we should consider "high"? For example, in the beginning of September 2017 the price of BTC reached $4,600+, which was a great improvement in comparison with the previous ATH, $1,150. But was it the right time to sell? Hardly. Because the price was $19k+ just 3 months later. In short, I think that selling more than 50% of what you have is never a good idea.

It’s very important that people hold some bitcoins in their wallet, even if you’re a day trader you still have to keep some coins in your Bitcoin wallet and any other coins you would like to save because at times the biggest profit might come from long term Hodl. We don’t really know how the situation might be after the Halving, there is no assurance that the same thing that happened in the past, the bull runs, will repeat itself this time around.
I have seen a lot of technical analysis and the price seems to be moving the same direction and I strongly there will be a bull run after the next Halving. I have invested an amount according to my level of risk and I’m waiting for it.

there will definitely be movement, but if you look at the halving beforehand, the movement will not occur simultaneously when halving occurs, the movement that occurs in my opinion is like a FOMO or FUD. we will still wait for quite a long time if prices will move significantly like previous halving. but I don't know whether this year halving will be so hype that it makes people FOMO or FUD so that before and after there will be a high enough increase?

You make a good point. Now that everyone anticipates the halving, it would be quite difficult to know when and how the movement will occur. Most likely towards the -ve trend, but one can not be too sure at the moment. In any case, holding BTC long term still pays off imho.
We notice the price pump but we cannot assure if it still rise until bitcoin halving. I think even the price rise before halving, after that it will back to normal and the price we can see will falling down again. So be wise from your bitcoin but it is better if we hold our bitcoin.
