I don't think so, at this time bitcoin prices have started to rise even a little and for some people have been able to get profit from the bitcoin they buy when bitcoin prices are very low, so if we can see and use opportunities well then we will still be able to get profit

The time he created this thread was August 21 when bitcoin reversed to $6350, predicted to be pessimistic at the time. Now the bitcoin price has risen compared to that time $700 and many also make some profit.

It looks to me like the market is bucking the 8/22 shakeout:

Price is ramping back up to the highs, and I suspect this will continue into the low $7,000s. There's a gap that might get filled there, as Peter Brandt points out.

So we got our push into the $7,000s....not quite to Peter Brandt's $7,270 target, but close enough:

I closed half my long and ended up getting stopped out on the rest with yesterday's dumps. I'm back to waiting mode.

I like the look of this 4-hour candle. If it closes this way, that's a bullish engulfing right off the prior highs. I'd like to see this level hold and to form a bull flag/pennant before getting too bullish again.

The price of bitcoin is already stable relative to the altcoin, because we can see that bitcoin is slowly rising, while the altcoin is still falling!

Why should we panic, the price is moving forward and backward,the swing hasn't been too bad, so I guess BTC still in a good shape, it's a bit disappointing that the price hasn't able to go up, but the market situation is not too good and the etf result hasn't been in our favor, so just need to be more patience about the situation

Very bad news for BTC holders. BTC price is not moving upwards in August 2018. Looks like the rest of the days of August will be in downtrends for BTC price chart. The red is dominating green for all altcoins. Looks like another panic month for longtime holders.

Actually, with the prices consolidating at $6k, we could well see a short term rally coming soon, pushing prices above $7k.

But you're right for the most part. Market sentiment remains quite bearish right now, and even if there was a rally, it wouldn't last very long before the correction brings prices down to previous levels. A lot of people actually thought that August was going to be the month when prices will start recovering, because of the ETF. But to me, the ETF was never going to get approved in the short term anyways, and even if it was, it would most likely only cause temporary FOMO within the market, and no major trend reversals.

It's not necessarily a bad month. The $6k support still held up. I'm probably not as positive as some others. Even though I think that a short term rally is possible, the recovery is probably not going to happen until next year after prices bottom, which we may not have even seen yet. It's not something that is just this month.

None is sure about what would the exact price in the next hour. When we had a massive spike in December 2017, everyone expected 2018 would be another year of a marvelous spike relating to the past growth trend. Fluctuations are crypto's nature and its unpredictable. When one pitches into trading, he/she has to have more confidence and patience. I understand its painful when you are in need of money but need to. Today we had a bit spike and hope to have a come back.

We've actually managed to go past the resistance level (6500), if the price holds around the current prices (6646 at the moment of this post), then we could actually test 7k at the end of the month.

If the prices goes down again under 6500, I believe the 6k floor should hold pretty well before the next rally starts. But,to be honest, we're in the accumulation phase, which I call the "boring" phase, so we shouldn't expect too much and just let the market do its own thing.

August started with $7500. So even Bitcoin at any chance go beyond $7000 in August it will still be a negative month.

Still, it isn't as bad as OP thinks, OP said: "Very bad news for BTC holders.". To bitcoin holders, especially those holding for the long-term, the drop in August and not seeing a significant increase is far from being "bad news", if anything it has been a great month because of the accumulation period. It could be a negative month, yes, but for some people it was a positive month (not in terms of prices, obviously) because it gave them the opportunity to buy cheap.

It's almost impossible for bitcoin to fall under $3-4k, simply because of the huge buying pressure at those levels.

Never say never. It really depends how many people think it's impossible, and whether they're long. Tongue

Markets like to cause "maximum pain"; they go to prices where the most traders will lose the most money -

Quote

Max pain, or the max pain price, is the strike price with the most open contract puts and calls - and the price at which the stock would cause financial losses for the largest number of option holders at expiration.

But old trading wisdom aside, $3K is obviously an important S/R level. And come to think of it, there's a long term log trend in the $3-4K area for the next few months. Good reasons for a bottom in that area.

I don't think it's the long time holders that are in panic though but those who recently bought in that is expecting a quick profit but then it is not what they expected because the price just keep going down. There may be times when the price goes up but then it would go down again. If you check the price now, it is going up and if it continues to go up after a few days or even a few hours, it would go down again which is bad for those who wanted big profits investor but for traders it would be like a paradise if you were able to trade it profitably.

Even Bitcoin price is not moving up but at least we are stable at base line of $6,000 because if the price will fall below of that bottom line then for sure expect many will leave this investment because their confident level to continue to buy and hold will reduce. I see no panic for now because after ETF rejection we can see the Bitcoin price keep moving up slowly meaning the people don't care anymore about this latest event.

Long term holders would not panic in these situations.

In fact, it's an excellent point for accumulation right now with prices down so much. We've seen the $6k support hold up relatively well, and even though I don't think that it's going to be the bottom of this bear market, it's going to be very close to the bottom from this point onwards until the recovery comes in.

It's almost impossible for bitcoin to fall under $3-4k, simply because of the huge buying pressure at those levels.

Besides, these price movements are expected in a bear market. It's not anything out of the ordinary. The market sentiment is still bearish, obviously, and bullish prospects aren't really in the question right now. And that too, is completely expected.

Is it true there are no more ETF deadlines waiting in the wings until late September? I could see the market drifting upwards for a while as we head into that decision.

How come it was a bad news that no interesting price movement the month of August? What's special this month?

Are you forgetting what things should do during this kind of trend? Accumulate more or just stay where you are.

And no, it will not create a panic for long time holders. They won't be called long time holders in the first place if they did some panic on the way. They withstand lots of negative speculations already that's why they able to kept up their hold coins until now. Make sense.

What's the bad news in it if it's just staying the same in almost an entire months? Some would last almost a year so you should be lucky enough to witnessed the changes of Bitcoin per few months or weeks.

Aren't you that excited for the bull trend to exist again? We do still have four months left before the end of the year, you shouldn't worry yourself that much.

I do not know why you expected any different, people are still in a state of panic, every time the price of bitcoin goes down people get really worried about a possible crash but at this moment with the price as low as it is right now it is almost impossible that we are going to see another crash that soon.

I don't think I need to panic about the red price in August, it's normal and the price will not always be below the increase. There will be proof that I am monitoring the market movement now getting green in a few hours, I hope this bearish market will end and this continues

If you back last 2 weeks ago this month the price of the bitcoin pump but unfortunately the price of the bitcoin down again and now the price is more than 6000 dollars but it's not a bad news for me why because we have a chance to buy more bitcoin instead of panic selling.

Every down of the bitcoin they have good news. Not only because of the bitcoin price is that good news they have benefits of dumping the value also of the bitcoin.

Don't spread bad news to other people because possible to them to panic because they scared to lose their money.
