in my opinion there are two things that might cause the price of bitcoin to increase. the first possible rise is that this is the manipulation of the popes. the second maybe this increase is the impact of bitcoin which will be reduced by half in May. with bitcoin reduced by half will attract investors to buy more bitcoin. so the demand for bitcoin increases.
it is possible this happened because of the whale play in it, even at this time speculation many people have proven that the arrival of Chinese holidays can cause a decline. I also believe that half of bitcoin can increase market demand so prices can jump significantly
Topic: OMG, BitCoin is spiking !!! What is causing this ??? (Read 641 times)
With the news of war dying down and nothing major going on, I feel like this bull had nothing to do with the mainstream news, I mean looking at it now it is at a healthy level even tho nothing is going on in the world right now.
I wouldn't be shocked if we get to learn that there was absolutely nothing related for the spike and it was just a due time increase that people started to buy at the same time triggering even more and more and more people buying, that sounds as reasonable as all the other theories put forward. Of course, there has to be some sort of logical explanation why people said "enough" in the past 10 days instead of any time previously or in the future, but what happened has happened and questioning why will not change the price in the end.

Events happen as always in the financial industry but that doesn't mean it will affect bitcoin as always.
Before, price increase are just regular things that happens in the bitcoin community specially here.
Why else should there be any reason behind now?
There is none! It is just a normal fluctuation. Live with it! It will happen normally everyday.
For people who are just new to this market would normally have these kind of reactions.When prices do move on high volatility rate and intensity they would tend to panic and question out on what is happening.Events happen as always in the financial industry but that doesn't mean it will affect bitcoin as always.

They are tying up anything when btc spikes but actually these are just normal day here on crypto.News can be also a big factor on prices but not all the times where these sentiments are effective because
even on random times and days where theres no news, the price do still behave this way.

When there is a lot of demand for prices, there will definitely be a significant price surge. When demand is low you can buy up.
Take advantage of that momentum to take a reasonable profit, for now the price still shows a bullish pattern. So the buying option might still be possible before ATH.

Last week when bitcoin spiked with higher price many predictor said bitcoin raise up to higher price because Iran finished for attack United State in Iraq, but today without have any conflict war Iran and United State bitcoin spiking with higher price, any one know why bitcoin suddenly can raise to higher price without have anything good news with bitcoin before.

@Oceat
I wouldn't be so assured to call the current price stable. If you look closely, Bitcoin has only been in the $8000 range for a week now and even during that time it has fallen below the$7,000 $8,000, without even mentioning that it happened suddenly.
1 week is really too short to define a stable period. Just look today, half of the market is decreasing, if it continues we could go again below the $8k line at the end of the week.
And personally I don't buy 'Iran vs USA' or 'halving is coming' stories

Maybe whales are on the move or another hype is happening around. but in my opinion this spike happening in bitcoin price is just natural because of previous news and happening, it won't give much meaning or something take an action to me because I know it won't last long. so let's not believe much or let our guard down to what's happening right now.
I highly doubt about that because there's no reason why they have to move anyway but my thought on this is that it's just the traders who made to move the market price. This could be a sign of another bull trap but it seems that the price is quite stable and there's still a chance to move to break the $9k if it continue to rise.If the price goes crazy then suddenly dump then maybe I can conclude that it's a trap but seems price goes stable that's why I think it became normal to see those dump coming up but we should prepare if this is manipulating dump to avoid losses but I still believe we are not seeing the real effect yet since it's so early to tell that away so for me I will do short trades for a while and let see if we can surpass the price and reach the $9k or not.
We really don't know on why does the bitcoin's value is rising and there is no news about crypto or whatsoever, it might be whales are making their move or some investor are buying a lot of bitcoin because of the halving.
It's really hard to analyze the market flows and that's why we just nees to always take advantage of what's happening since we will surely get profit from it.

At some point there are no more available coins on the market. It looks that the altcoin season started as well, so money is going in to the market from all directions. Especially when you have to buy Bitcoin first to buy your altcoin.
However, it is halving year, so expect some bullish explosions ahead of us and hopefully a rising market percentage for bitcoin.

same as you I also do not see any major events that make the price of bitcoin soared. these two weeks bitcoin has continued to increase. many say that the rise in bitcoin at the beginning of January was the result of the Iran-American conflict. but at this time the conflict between the two countries began to subside but the price of bitcoin continues to increase. from this I can conclude that actually bitcoin doesn't need a reason to go up and down.

I thinks its the lead up to the halving that is making the price increase. I think there will be FOMO that will take the price to a new high by the middle of the year.

There were big news during the bear market but it didn't pushing up the price because of those big news. Now that there is no news about crypto, the price keeps pushing up.
It didn't make sense but I guess the manipulation you are telling will be acceptable.
it has been here for long time,and we cannot do anything about that because that is the reality of every profiteering there are some manipulation.There were also users saying this is because of the FOMO for the next halving will happen in few months.
well it is too early for the Next halving to bring this run,but we can see if this stays for the other months come. 
9k is very close to the 200 day average. I think price moved alot as we 'broke' the 50 day, it had tried and failed to do as much 3 times previously so that was a running break through that wall that continued past it and upwards I guess.
Its not really spiking just a combination of buyers bullish on that push past but also the stop orders on short sellers, these turn into buyers as well hence when a line fails to hold its creating a rush and rapid movement from the reversal. Traders watch and try to capture these areas where price changes so fast that its profitable justifiable to accelerate risks and deploy leverage. At some point or time those hot money speculators leave the price and we get some adjustment downwards again, this continual cycle is always in the price some.

We can't really know the "cause" of a big increase in price (aside from obvious there are people buying bitcoin) but we can just assume. My assumption was that there were too many long futures and leveraged longs and that means some whales wanted the bitcoin price to go up, that could draw a connection between bitcoin price and its increase.
If whales wants something they usually get it, not all the time but most of the time. Plus there was a try for going down that failed, maybe some people realized we hit the bottom and decided it is not worth trying any further and gave up, maybe we were always bull but the bears kept the selling pressure high but just gave up, when they gave up we started to go up? Like I said we can just assume what happened and not know the exact reason.

There is no clear reason for Bitcoin to rise today, probably because the whales manipulate the market and they want the price of Bitcoin to go up. Or the positive came from halving in May and many investors were expecting a year of price increases for bitcoin so they started buying it now. I don't care too much about the reasons, just bitcoin and the market going up it will make a lot of investors profit if they bought bitcoin at the previous stage.

Some people are claiming it's down to Craig Wright:
https://www.coindesk.com/in-new-court-filing-craig-wright-claims-to-receive-keys-to-9-6b-bitcoin-fortune
Quote
According to a court filing to the U.S. District Court of Southern Florida dated Jan. 14, a third party has “provided the necessary information and key slice to unlock the encrypted file,” seemingly referencing the “mysterious,” unnamed intermediary with the private keys necessary to unlock the $9.6 billion bitcoin trove.
In another filing Tuesday night, attorneys for Ira Kleiman, the brother of Wright's now-deceased business partner Dave Kleiman wrote that Wright only provided a list of 16,404 addresses but no information about the courier.
This so-called bonded courier was originally due to arrive Jan. 1, though Wright did not confirm or deny whether this transpired at the time. Wright instead requested an extension for the intermediary to unlock the encrypted “Tulip Trust” at the heart of the case.
On Jan. 10, U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom granted Wright until Feb. 3 to alert the court of the courier’s arrival.
"Plaintiffs request they be provided with seven (7) interrogatories about the courier that Craig must respond to in ten (10) days. Plaintiffs will then use those responses to seek discovery from the bonded courier and his company," Kleiman's lawyers wrote. "In the interim, Plaintiffs are having their experts review and analyze the list. Plaintiffs expect that they will be ready to depose Craig after this discovery occurs, in early March."
The 1.1M bitcoin Tulip Trust is at the center of a bitter dispute between Wright and Ira Kleiman. Kleiman is suing Wright, alleging Wright expropriated bitcoin and manipulated documents, emails and other correspondence to defraud his brother’s estate.
Judge Bloom expressed doubt over the bonded courier’s existence and the amount of bitcoin in dispute. Wright was previously held in contempt of court for failing to produce a full list of his bitcoin holdings. He alleged it would be “impossible” to comply with the court order, as his bitcoin was encrypted by the complicated Shamir Secret Sharing Scheme.

I don't think there is an specific reason, could be a lot of things together like:
the halving is coming
people are optmistic
A little increase in price make some people think that this is the time to buy and this generates this effect

I just read that we are entering into the weekly trend, if viewed from my view as a trader according to bitcoin price analysis will increase up to the next few weeks if prices continue until next week at least later Monday, there really is no interesting event why bitcoin prices continue going up, but actually the price of bitcoin is exactly taking every event that has been done before, history usually repeats, just look dude here A big change in price can usually be traced to some event, but I do not see anything significant today to explain this Now I just have to figure out when to sell the spike, and pull out some profits

actually I haven't been looking for news of a sudden price increase, but if the news isn't there, I think this is the result of halving in the coming months. I think, the price increase will occur more quickly before halving actually happens. I think this is the effect before halving.
There's no other news coming yet so we can conclude that this thing are brought up by the hype of halving but we should be careful since I think this is not the bull run yet and might we will get trap if sudden dump will happen better to become more conservative now and be ready for consequences since we might gonna see a good changes starting today or maybe not.

It’s bitcoin. Explaining this thing is like trying to take a running at a rolling donut. The only thing that for sure, It’s valuable, and it will settle high. it was $100, spiked to $1,200 and settled at $200's. Then it slowly doubled a couple times before it spiked to $20,000, burst, and settled into high $3,000's. It’s rallying again. It’s building again, hopefully slowly, and if it spikes and bursts, it’ll do so somewhere head and shoulders above the previous price again.
You are right, why would we try to explain this sudden spike, what would be the purpose of finding a reason for this spike?
People would like to find a specific signal that triggered this, so they can try to be on alert for that signal next time. I think it
is impossible, the price is rising due many factors, I think it's never just one reason behind the price spike.
As a holder I am enjoying in this bull run, but this is just a little compared with Bitcoin real possibilities, I am continuing with
holding!

If you are looking at crypto news (which you shouldn't) for a reason why Bitcoin is pumping you'll see either it is about Craig Wright's nearing on his claim for the 8.5 $ billion dollars worth of Bitcoin or BAKKT being strong in crypto. But if you just looked at the charts BTC just broke a major downtrend line at 8,200$ and on top of it BTC is now above its 200 EMA moving average which it hasn't passed for a long time, now if we continue on an up trend and break the 200 MA line at around 9,120$ there is a good chance we go straight right up at 11,000$.
Personally, I would be favouring the trend line (200 EMA) instead of CSW supposedly tulip trust or something. I do hope that this trend will continue an upward momentum to $9k as predicted. So let's see how it will be reacting in the next coming weeks. And I do hope that we will all forget about CSW's influence on the price or bitcoin or at least crypto in general.

Theres no need for a reason why its price jumped or dumped but somehow you can pinpoint things that might be a possible catalyst on such movement like on upcoming halving.
It been talked by the community now and it cant be avoided for this reason to be put up on everyones mind.
indeed, sometimes the market moves when there are news and rumors, so when it rises it is always questionable the reason, maybe this time it's bullish time in my opinion because 2 years back we continued to experience bearish. moreover, halving became hype because its history was so successful, and slowly these days people are realizing to buy bitcoin before going above 10k.

the Judge decisions about Craig Wrights last stand of providing concrete proofs of Him being Satoshi Nakamoto.because just after this news the price started to grow continuously .anyway other post above might also the reason.

How would that be good news for bitcoin? I mean he obviously lies about being Satoshi like he just lied about bitcoin having a fatal flaw at that destroys the bitcoin on 1st of jan. No one should care about what ever he is doing now.
You are reacting too much, it is only normal because there is a breakout happened. I do not consider the news in terms of the price movement of the bitcoin. The recent breakout only means that the buyers are now in control. We should not expect too much to the price because there it is very exaggerated for me and it seems not realistic if we will still expect that it can achieve its previous ath in just weeks.

A big change in price can usually be traced to some event,
I was thinking same thing in past. I learned that its not. You can't predict event that will and when affect the price and how much it could affect it.
I mean even halvening you can't clearly say when and how and thats most known 99% sure knowledge about price/value of bitcoin increase.
Just relax, in years you won't be excited so much about minor price movements, even bigger ones won't affect you that much
.I agree. Though seems unreal for such circumstances to trigger but those significant changes doesn't always imply by particular events. Because I don't see anything either, halvening is yet to come. Potential war was few days ago and the tension seems lessening. So, take the idea of this man. Chill 'cause sooner there are more bigger changes than this.

A big change in price can usually be traced to some event, but I do not see anything significant today to explain this News events seldom explain price moves. A news event might catalyze a price move, but the magnitude and follow-through of that move is determined purely by the technicals.
This is why bad news never kills a bull market, and why good news never reverses a bear market. News is just noise for the most part.

You won't see this in forex, where you need a real huge amount of money to make price drop or jump. But this is typical in crypto, and one of the reasons of people having distrust in the industry, along as why will never be able to be massively adopted or get mainstream.

If you can make a fortune already with the current price, you might wanna wait til the price spikes stops. Selling it today will lead you to regret if the price continues to go up. Two weeks past and the price continues to go up already. I suggest you do the same even after halving because this might just give you the Lambo you have been wishing.
This is the thoughts most people have in mind, but to tell you exactly, profits will be based not just upon waiting for the right time to sell, but to consider accumulating enough funds with you. Remember, if you have low investment, profits will rely based on your investment so make sure to have enough fund to deposit and to hodl with the best you can.
Bitcoin is spiking now because of the trading signal and market condition it has from the previous weeks. Most of the youtube channels that it could be bullish for the next months, without really stating, or correlating reasons about war or halving. Just pure, technical analysis.
Spikes are usually determined by lack of liquidity and like any other price movement due to an imbalancd between buyers and sellers. Not enough sellers and a multitude of buyers trying to get a position results in big, voluminous candlesticks.
It is the new year pump we have all been waiting for and it just happens to be two weeks late. 
I think it happens every year when it falls on the chinese new year when mass amounts of bitcoin are being bought as a good luck omen for wealth and prosperity during the year.

That might be the cause , lack of liquidity, yes. But to my opinion it's not connected with Chinese new year like some think.
However I don't see reasons for euphoria that some users are already showing and that doesn't mean that we will have continuous growth in next period and see huge price rise at the end . Let's wait a while before making any concrete conclusions.

Tether crooks are manipulating the prices with their fractional reserve scam coin.
Trying to trick the general public into buying in so they can sell at inflated prices to keep their fractional reserve scam going.
Nothing new under the sun.

I would NEVER, NEVER, NEVER trust Tether. I do not believe they have the backing they claim !!!
Hard Facts
If you can make a fortune already with the current price, you might wanna wait til the price spikes stops. Selling it today will lead you to regret if the price continues to go up. Two weeks past and the price continues to go up already. I suggest you do the same even after halving because this might just give you the Lambo you have been wishing.
weeks ago Bitcoin has been in alsista trend, only had a small correction could tell distribution, the graph shows 3 targets to be coming up, now is a resistance, the support is in the lower rectangle, if you break the rectangle above we could be talking about the 12k $. There will be some normal corrections but the goal is that. So, gentlemen, bitcoin does not depend on a war, and neither on bulls, those "bulls" could be bots that only take advantage of the liquidation of leverage in exchanges, since almost all have the margin mode more 100x, you have to consider this to know why it goes up uncontrollably.

A big change in price can usually be traced to some event,
I was thinking same thing in past. I learned that its not. Even in the stock market, which I've been into for years, I never paid much attention to explanations as to why prices were moving the way they did. I suppose it matters more if you're a day trader and trade stocks (or crypto) quite often, but that's never the way I invested. So whatever is really causing bitcoin to shoot upward right now doesn't interest me all that much--and if I were to try to explain it myself I'd be pulling theories out of my ass, and what's the point of that?
First and foremost, you should understand that this is not the first time the market value of bitcoin is spiking and will not be the last. For the actual reasons causing the spike of bitcoin, no one can specifically pinpoint what is causing it. You just have to take advantage of this spike and make some profits out of it. If you want to focus on finding the actual cause of this spike, you might just be wasting your time.
The price of bitcoin has always been cyclical , I expected this 
I expected also some kind of a trap after this. 
But for now, let's just enjoy this glorious pump to make some profit while it's still there. This might be a bull trap because there's no apparent reason why there's a sudden pump. But if the price continue to surge to break the $9k then i guess it's not a bull trap.

Bitcoin prices don't always follow the news. The only news that makes bitcoin so exciting is halving, and it will take place in a few months. The current price increase is due to its influence and I believe that the price will continue to go up in the next few months. The bitcoin price last week has been adjusted to well below $ 8000, but it is still trading steadily so now is the time for BTC to go up in search of a new peak. Also the bitcoin price was adjusted last week but it's still stable at $ 8000, so today's price increase will help Bitcoin go up and look for a new peak.

The possibility of bitcoin prices today has increased due to market manipulation by whales. Because there isn't a big thing yet
happened but the price of bitcoin has jumped up again. Actually, almost all crypto communities are happy to hear the rise of bitcoin.
Whatever the reason, the most important bitcoin prices can go up. For me this increase becomes an opportunity to take profit.
And if the price is corrected then the opportunity to buy bitcoin again.

Yes like other people said before me you can't really predict the price of Bitcoin, on a day to day basis, some days it will just act crazy.
In a few days it can go down again, or maybe it will even continue to rise.
In my opinion people are exited for Bitcoin it just became 2020 and these 2 years are going to be great for us, to spectate what the price is going to do.
This little spike is nothing yet and litterly 2-3 month's ago the price was at 9K-10k$ per Bitcoin so it's nothing strange.

I've read an article about the recent price increase of bitcoin, and it seems that they are not because of the US vs Iran happening as of now, neither the bull run. In my opinion, it is only natural for bitcoin's to pump and dump from time to time because of its volatility, and I know that things are getting interesting because of this sudden price hike.
The halving is coming so fast, and it might help as well the market to recover from the bearish trend that is still happening for 2 years already.

If you haven't done so then it's best to stay put and just see what happens. In my personal experience, when you do things on the fly in this market, more often than not you end up regreting doing it, in this case, selling at current prices when maybe at the end of the week we'll be at 10k (just an example). That's why you have an stratetgy and set your price targets in advance...you know, basic stuff for those looking to profit in the short-term/long-term. As to why the price is going up...who knows? Maybe something's brewing behind the scenes and those with access to insider information are filling their bags, it could be whales manipulating the price (bull trap), could be FOMO kicking in...There are so many variables in play in the cryptosphere, but more specifically in the btc market, that it's really hard to pinpoint exactly what's causing this massive spike in the price.
The only good thing about the current market movements is that, the more the price continues to stay above 8k, the greater the chances of the bear market not returning (for a very long time).

Just to be fair, not only BTC is spiking but the rest of crypto market is making sort of a 'mini bull-run'.
As to the reasons? hard to say, maybe investors are really preparing for the block halving or whales trying to set up a bull trap. But that's the hard part though, we really don't know when will it peak and push the sell button to make profits.
Spikes are usually determined by lack of liquidity and like any other price movement due to an imbalancd between buyers and sellers. Not enough sellers and a multitude of buyers trying to get a position results in big, voluminous candlesticks.
Indeed it is spiking off the charts and all I have to do is to enjoy this kind of ride and never really think about how this may happen, but on thinking about this I can only think of the event of the halving as many investors, whales and even normal people that want a taste of the halving can sure think of a pump that may happen when the halving occurs, although in some cases if the halving would not become successful there still be a risk that may occur.
A big change in price can usually be traced to some event,
I was thinking same thing in past. I learned that its not. You can't predict event that will and when affect the price and how much it could affect it.
I mean even halvening you can't clearly say when and how and thats most known 99% sure knowledge about price/value of bitcoin increase.
Just relax, in years you won't be excited so much about minor price movements, even bigger ones won't affect you that much
