When will it begin, how high will it go, and when will it end resulting in the next major crash?
Bull run here I'm talking about when the price is at an ATH and starts pumping in dramatic fashion, and the bull run ends when it experiences a major lasting crash. For example, last bull run basically started May 1st when bitcoin started pumping from around $1300/1400 and started shooting up hundreds of dollars. And it ended mid-December, the previous crashes last year were shorter corrections during the bull run.
I think the last bull run started when Japan entered the pictured last May. Of course there are a lot of ups and down leading to all-time-high in December.
My prediction:
$20k+ -> $70k
Dec 2018 -> Aug 2019
I will just consider the next block halving to be another critical factor here. But yeah, my prediction would also be around that time frame, maybe $50k tops. Again, we may see a lot of problems along the way, but at least $50K would be doable in Aug-Oct 2019, in my opinion.
Yeah last year Japan legalized Bitcoin as currency at beginning of March and the bull run really got going by beginning of May.
Yeah I bet the next block halving will maybe start another bull run. Basically I think we'll have a gradual build up this year and then a bull run in 2019 to somewhere between $50k-$100k, a crash perhaps in late 2019 (so that'd be a roughly two year bear-bull cycle which seems fair), and then the 2020 block halving I think will start the next bull run after that, at which point I could see Bitcoin reaching 6 digits!
