The Fomo might did not start since media doesnt talk about bitcoin much, we still need a higher price to tickle the interest of other financial institutions. They are still skeptical about the sudden increase of value in the market.
But a lot newbies are on trap again on the level of $8200 since they just came here for a reason of FOMO and didn’t even make any analysis. I’m not saying that bitcoin will not recover to $8k level and above, but acting without any preparations is a bad habit. FOMO can lose your money, the recent pump is just a retest to make a good run and short corrections happens, next FOMO will beging again on $10k level.

Doubt there are many newcomers buying right now, the price action wasn't enough to attract a big enough crowd of newbies. The small amount of newbies who are buying right now is not affecting the price whatsoever, it's still the big players playing the game right now, the search results for bitcoin went up but are still waaay lower than they were in 2017.

Right now there’s a FOMO buy its not that high compare to the previous pump meaning investors know that this is the beginning of bull market, besides we don’t see any big corrections right now and the price is still pumping. Its not FOMO if you plan to hold for long term because that’s what investors did.

FOMO will be higher if we will have a new ATH, every time we break an ATH, there's always big FOMO happening.
Our situation now is different, we came from a long correction and we are just recovering, so maybe if we will reach $20K soon, we can expect some FOMO.
FOMO will continue to occur if these positive conditions continue, look at this thread made last month and in fact FOMO make price rise more than $4k. and the price broke through $8k, rising very quickly in a short time, who are investors who are not interested in buying seeing the speed of price increases?

They'll talk when the price pump hard, the market does not rely on media because whales can alone manipulate the price.
Maybe when we are close to our ATH, the media will begin to hype crypto and potential investors will come again especially the new one.
The market is still good now despite a dump that happen lately, it was able to stay at $7000 which is a major improvement compared to last month's price.

FOMO is short term effect I think, I'd much rather see more solid effects in play like actual usage not speculative holds .
It depends on the speed that is gos and gain on the chart. The higher the spikes the more people will buy inn. We have to wait to see how much steam this bull got Wink
It's still hard to put some numbers since bitcoin just started to increase this month and it still not that fast how it act in 2017 bullrun. The good things is that many crypto investors were thinking of coming back due to this increase. Maybe just waiting for some numbers to hit.

Oh I think the spikes can be high, I dont doubt the power but the reason the shape of the move is a spike is that its sudden and sharp upwards.   It can reverse as it draws in alot of speculators more then users who have the reasoning to hold on overnight and into weeks to use the BTC on whatever their interest is etc.
It'll build a base much stronger long term if we can spiral upwards like a staircase more then a spike.    I prefer people posting doubts while we gain on a more monthly type basis

a while ago i started a topic here talking about the FOMO that is going to occur when the price rise begins. here is the topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/what-do-you-think-the-size-of-the-fomo-going-to-be-when-it-starts-5108231
although there weren't that many votes but it seems like most people got the right answer (the shoot up to $5k) which was the FOMO that i was talking about there. the initial leg up which shoots price upwards $1000 in a couple of hours.

now another question. what do you think the next leg up is going to be? maybe you think there is no FOMO and only a slow rise this time?
lets see how the results are going to be this time...
Like a true prophet you spoke. The FOMO has already begun. We are already past $8k. Who knows, $10k may be the next level by nest week.

Honestly, I wish the FOMO wouldn't be there so that we can have a slow and steady kind of rise. The fresh monies coming in should be gradual so as not to cause a similar dump we all witnessed in 2018.
But, how can we really be certain that FOMO is really partaking in this price increase, to me, I feel fomo is yet to set in, and this increase we are seeing is just as a result of some good projects being released into the market that are quite attached to bitcoin.

Let us take for example, I heard of 2 great retailers very popular who has integrated bitcoin as payment for their products, I have heard of tether news about their over printing accusation, and I have heard of Binance disabling withdrawal and depositing of coins in their exchange for the main time and many more, these factors coming all together at same time could be a major reason for the spike.

With $6000 as the new low and the current price is only $8000, I think this will allow investors to enter.

$6000 the new low? How so? We haven't even tested it yet. On top of that, the market hasn't respected the resistance levels that the charts and volume indicators were hinting at, so why would they be respected on the way down when the short term demand vanishes as quickly as it popped up?

Nothing in the market has changed to the degree where I would be comfortable saying that sub $6000 or $5000 levels are history. I'm comfortable saying that about sub $4000 levels, but that's it. Bitcoin has been generous offering second chances to buy lower, so just have some patience and enjoy all the price action that's happening right now.

now i am wondering how big this will be before the market calms down. 10k maybe?

mmmm.. maybe mate, we can't tell right now but we have to expect big.
We cannot compare this bull run to last bull run which happened in 2017 as this is that is happening now is bigger.
For over a year had passed, a lot of improvement already happen in crypto, bear market shows last year but the fundamentals keeps improving.

i completely agree that each bull run is unique and every time it only grows more because of a lot more adoption but there still are a lot of similarities between them. with that in mind this is like the last bull run but we are not in the end of the bull run to be comparing it with 2017, we are at the very start of it so it should be compared with 2015 instead. now you can see more similarities.... stable accumulation, sudden giant drop below strong support, lots of sad people who gave up on bitcoin calling it dead, the big recovery, initial FOMO jumps and the slow rise afterwards with the bull run of about 2.5x by the end of that year.

Of course the FOMO of 2017 can't be compare with what we are seeing right now. We've seen a lot of irrational buyers in that massive spike in December of 2017, but I'm seeing FOMO, but I would say it's minimal though, maybe those who FOMO doesn't want to experience the scenario of 2017. So they are very calculated. Right now there are a shifting from alts->bitcoin->alts->bitcoin. So they are smart and knowing that this is just the beginning of a bull run, but they can also make more money but moving their money around in the market.

FOMO is short term effect I think, I'd much rather see more solid effects in play like actual usage not speculative holds .    The price will or should cycle in a range of prices, it might be 6000 is the new low now.   That cycle allows many people to enter without it purely being about catching the gain, some are always going to be selling the higher edge of that range because they are leveraged.

With $6000 as the new low and the current price is only $8000, I think this will allow investors to enter.
Good to witness the market still bullish and I see some FOMO and it will keep growing as the price is pump many times.
This is the time where we have to be cautious also, let us just don't watch it, but also make a strategy on how to benefit the situation.

It's impossible to demand anything like that from the market. When the price is going up rapidly, people automatically get hyped up and buy in to no longer be the loser that keeps missing out on these rushes.

Another thing is that retailers in general love to buy things that are going up. For them it's literally a matter of Bitcoin going up means it's doing well, where price down means they think it will fail and could even become worthless.

It's completely stupid of course, but that's how they think. We hovered below $4000 for quite some time, which is an indication that retail money wasn't interested. These people are buying as we speak.

If this continues within about a week, Bitcoin will reach the $10k level and the five-figure is just happening too early the way i expected it.

But of course, FOMO will also set in, to those who are doing short since they want to gain some from this hype-up market.

I am super happy about the fact that I actually clicked "much more" in my answer. Thankfully I was planning on the price going much higher as well and that is why I had much more bitcoins too (although I spent some of the new investments into altcoins as well but I am sure that will go up too).

I have been working real hard to make most money I can possible make and put it all on cryptocurrency in general, some of it was bitcoin but I bought some altcoins and right now I am super in profit, even on a small scale investment compared to most of the whales in crypto world mine got up so high that it is literally one months salary in profit which was something I literally didn't expected at all. Hopefully the price will continue to go up so we can reap more profits.

The current market price is seriously surprise to most of us and though some of us has predicted that this going to happen and the bearish  trend is over. I think there is a little elements of FOMO in the current upwards price movement that bitcoin is having now and that has also affected other coins.  As we move on the FOMO is getting bigger and many are buying now and it seems to have no end yet in sight.  We should keep buying now and take the advantage of the current happened now.

the next phase of  the FOMO has begun.

the first FOMO steps were the $500 to $1000 rises that happened as soon as we exited the $3k range into $4k price range. that initial step i suppose were the investors with more  grasp over the market and bitcoin's history who jumped right back in giving up their greed for drops.

this new phase is the rest who still were waiting to get their wish of a big drop but were eventually disappointed. this is the bigger FOMO phase.

Next natural level should be $6,000, than $7,000 and so on, what is interesting is that bitcoin pass trough some levels with incredible speed, and for some it takes time. I will be happy if we see $8,000 by the end of this year, this rise now didn`t make me so excited, you need to get use to it and not to think that every rise is a bull run that happened in 2017, we will need to wait a bit more for similar year when prices will have fast rise to new ath.
I don’t think bitcoin will follow that of 2017 pattern again, what I see now is that the Bitcoin value will continue to slowly grow as more investors comes in, the speed each month will get depends of the number of investors then and the amount they are willing to commit into the investment.

I believe that Bitcoin should grow far more than the value of $8000 you quoted there because every stage of value BTC picks, there will always be FOMO which will push it up a bit by adding extra $800 to $1200 and right now, I think most investors are really targeting the ATH and not the value bitcoin will be having this year.

It started again lol I bet it won't last that long maybe a year or so it will move it's price from heaven to hell haha. FOMO is indeed helpful but mostly beginners and speculators are the ones that are causing this though correct if I am wrong hehe purely based on my experience as a beginner haha.
That cannot be eliminated here, FOMO for the newbie and even the old ones here.
It will make the market more exciting because when everyone is buying, that will make the price to result in an overbought situation and the smart
ones knows how to handle the situation, if we failed to sell during the last FOMO or bull run, let's do it this time.

The real retail FOMO probably won't start until maybe $10K breaks or we get some Bitcoin ETF approval. I think most of the FOMO these days is either people buying back their Crypto they sold last year, people using their Tether, or shorts covering their positions because it looks like it might go higher.

Last time we got FOMO was when BTC was like $3000 and the FOMO started because it broke the $1100 ATH back in 2017. So we are a little while away from the retail FOMO.

I don't think that people are so naive as they were at the last ATH back in 2017.
Many people got trapped due to the FOMO and they lost much money when they invested in high prices of the bitcoin. Now it seems that they got their lesson and probably they won't make the same mistake again.

I think that the next stage during which Bitcoin will show growth will occur approximately to the level of 6000 dollars. And then, when he reaches the level of 6000, he will be at that level during one or two months. Then there will be the next wave of growth above 8000.

Well if you think about it, btc moved from sub 4k to 5k in a matter of days. So getting to 7k by june isn't impossible. Especially with a lot of people becoming excited over the current trend. It could really start a fomo run but i wouldn't want to jump into that if ever. I'll just stick to the btcs i currently own.
June is even quite still far, one of the big analyst we have in the market just predicted BTC to reach $7k by May, which is possible, this $5k we see now was actually predicted for May but we saw the value earlier than expected, so if $7k is predicted for June, then we can see it earlier than that. When it comes to BTC and its growth, nothing is absolutely impossible, we have lots of investors that would even invest normally before then without FOMO, let us now consider what FOMO’s input too will be, so it’s better we get ready for the further spike now to avoid regrets.
I'm glad majority are talking about the possible price increase for this year.
People changed their mind and they are bullish now, this will attract the thoughts of the newbie or some of the non believers to believe on crypto once more. For awhile, some thought BTC will not recover anymore, or it's over but BTC proven them wrong, it pumped hard and changes it's status now.

I said much bigger because I believe the "FOMO" mentality is not just another 500 bucks or a thousand dollars, it is gonna be something much bigger, I don't know if it will happen sometime soon but everything looks amazing for bitcoin so it could definitely skyrocket soon, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe a week but it looks like it will certainly happen.

When that happens we will definitely be above 7000+ for sure, that is why I think that next FOMO will be around 9 thousand dollars or so, anything above 10k is very risky because it could fall back very hard but if it reaches around 9k than the fall would be slower and it will be just going back to something over 7 thousand dollars and that is a responsible increase and decrease for the life of bitcoin. Lets hope I am right because anything less or more will not be good for us.

Even at 7k, it's already very risky. People just came from a long exhausted bear market and many of those who got beat by it would want to get out the moment they get profit. It's likely the fear of getting caught in a dump is now greater than the fear of missing out.
That's what you think, but I think the FOMO is still greater than the FUD in the market.
It's based on per situation and the situation now is good because we recover and BTC jump higher than our expectation.
This should be enough to conclude that going forward will be a bullish market for crypto.
You're right when you said the FOMO is greater than the FUD which I believed the market trend has justify it but i dont agree with what you when you said BTC recover higher than our expectation because the market have been proofing the surge trend acouple of weeks back which we have been expecting the surge in price.

I said much bigger because I believe the "FOMO" mentality is not just another 500 bucks or a thousand dollars, it is gonna be something much bigger, I don't know if it will happen sometime soon but everything looks amazing for bitcoin so it could definitely skyrocket soon, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe a week but it looks like it will certainly happen.

When that happens we will definitely be above 7000+ for sure, that is why I think that next FOMO will be around 9 thousand dollars or so, anything above 10k is very risky because it could fall back very hard but if it reaches around 9k than the fall would be slower and it will be just going back to something over 7 thousand dollars and that is a responsible increase and decrease for the life of bitcoin. Lets hope I am right because anything less or more will not be good for us.

Even at 7k, it's already very risky. People just came from a long exhausted bear market and many of those who got beat by it would want to get out the moment they get profit. It's likely the fear of getting caught in a dump is now greater than the fear of missing out.
That's what you think, but I think the FOMO is still greater than the FUD in the market.
It's based on per situation and the situation now is good because we recover and BTC jump higher than our expectation.
This should be enough to conclude that going forward will be a bullish market for crypto.

Well if you think about it, btc moved from sub 4k to 5k in a matter of days. So getting to 7k by june isn't impossible. Especially with a lot of people becoming excited over the current trend. It could really start a fomo run but i wouldn't want to jump into that if ever. I'll just stick to the btcs i currently own.

After the resistance of ~$4300 broke there wasn't much that could stop the price from rushing up to $5000. The resistance we will face around $6000 will be way harder to break through, and it might take all the way till 2020 before we actually break it.

Realistically speaking, the most we can expect for now is to see the price attempt to peak somewhere between $5500-$6000 but it will be brutally rejected if so. No way that without a major catalyst and a lot of new capital we will take it out easily after functioning as critical support for such a long period of time.

If you're in for the long term it's better to hold, but it might not be a bad idea to use a potential $6000 visit to sell a small portion and buy more coins back lower for the same amount of fiat.

We may not see this speedy pump again until may around September, it doesn’t mean bitcoin won’t grow again from where it is now but it will slowly rise and probably rise $5500 by the end of this April, from there, we will be able to assume the next price it will set fort for again, but I don’t think $6000 is that feasible for now, not completely sure but bear forces too has not completely left the market, the presence of bear is still there are fighting hard against BTC breaking further but I know, there will surely be a factor soon that will help the Bull Trend overcome.

bitcoin is growing and the price of it is rising but it will not get pumped ever again. last pump that we had belongs to 2013 where Mt Gox was involved. ever since that time we only see rallies and small manipulations but no pumps.
as for the price, at the moment there are a lot of day traders taking their profit after this big rise which is why when we reached $5300 there was a big sell off bringing the price back down to $4900 and after they buy back with their profit we can see the rise continue.

a while ago i started a topic here talking about the FOMO that is going to occur when the price rise begins. here is the topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/what-do-you-think-the-size-of-the-fomo-going-to-be-when-it-starts-5108231
although there weren't that many votes but it seems like most people got the right answer (the shoot up to $5k) which was the FOMO that i was talking about there. the initial leg up which shoots price upwards $1000 in a couple of hours.

now another question. what do you think the next leg up is going to be? maybe you think there is no FOMO and only a slow rise this time?
lets see how the results are going to be this time...

Who could tell, we are in the first week of the month and we have reached $5,200 in just a short span of time.
$6,000, that's possible, whales are into it again, they change the market situation now and they should have bigger plans to pump this market again.
Time frame expectation is no more relevant when there is a manipulation.

Don't you guys think this is still a trap?  Smiley Now that's going to create a a FOMO.
I don't care, I made profit and that's it, it's the nature of the market movement, sometimes it's manipulated but I guess it's up time soon.



Thanks for the poll, I cash my vote already and I am expecting that with this bull run that creates FOMO, we can go as high as $7,000 in this quarter alone.
I think only the blessings of FOMO will never be easy to reach the price of $ 7000 because surely price movements will go up and down and it is difficult to make the price to be expensive if there is no good news that can trigger a rise in the price of bitcoin.

Much better it it's higher than what we've expected for these days, FOMO or whatsoever. The important is we will benefit everything on what the outcome might bring towards bitcoin price increase. Don't lose hope and never quit with bitcoin, let's keep the situation as normal in times of unpredictable market. We may see good in physical monitor, but eventually it will not be in reality since bear market always dominated the recent price spikes which went down gradually.

lets see how the results are going to be this time...

I'm still not terribly convinced that this is necessarily the start of a new bull market, as some people have already jumped to conclusions about.

Exactly. But we can't stop those who jumped to that conclusions. They need something to spark and it looks like they have seen it and believed that this is a bull run in a making.

We can already see some resistance at the $5k level that is keeping prices down right now. And I'd certainly agree with the fact that the bull rally is pretty much solely fueled by FOMO, and backed by close to no fundamentals. People have been waiting for a spark in the market, it seems.

At least, it slices the $4200 and $4500 resistance so easily and keep going until a big wall in front of us at $5000. Right now the price is playing around that price, and the only logical reasoning why it's hard to go  over it is because there are speculators who are taking profits.

But it does go to show that investors are at least somewhat confident in $3k as a floor, in my opinion. Though, even after the rally the probabilities of regressing down to $4k is present, but I don't think that we'll see new lows being made anymore. The second half of the year should see some pumps of similar nature, given that the halving is occurring in the first half of 2020, which again, will likely spark demand in the market.

That's the good thing though, it looks like $5000 will be the new lows for now. At least for now no more $3000-$3600. And the market seems to be alive, unlike in the last couple of months wherein it was sort of boring for majority.

It will be a good thing if FOMO can continue to ginger more investors to come in instead of leaving it to manipulators, without FOMO input, the price might crash easily, whatever increase we wetness from investors out of FOMO has the tendency of staying longer in the market and being used for transactions because FOMO funds are mostly from genuine investors, although each of their investment might be little but the number of investors are what we need the most.

So, let whales continue to play their game, while investment through FOMO also contributes its own, I just hope that these genuine investors will not panic sell when the whales tries to crash the price again.

$1000 is a probable target, though from the looks of it, it looks like the movement has lost its steam and is now residing at the gentle arms of $4700 and won't be pushing any higher anytime sooner. The $800-$1000 price increase earlier was so abrupt that it looks like someone just bought a huge number of coins on an exchange and forgot that they might affect the market, although if that was the case, other people may have dumped their coins by now, but the price still stands to where it is until right now.

This is the power of big whale when they started to buy  most people think this is the start of bullrun comeback  but the reality people are being Fomo and follow the price momentum, if this up trend continue well we can say the bull run back butas of now until theres no confirmation youneed to observe carefully the market price.

Fomo exist in every market and we most accept this fat in other not to taking unaware about the happening in the cryptocurrencies market.  The whales are creating alot of FOMO in other to take advantage of those that did not know what influence the movements of a coins especially bitcoin.

and now we are back above $5000 with a solid slower rise after the correction occurred. i believe it has been a bigger FOMO than i expected and now people are slowly coming back to the market buying bitcoin with the money they have been holding and waiting for the opportunity or signal of rising.
to be honest at this point i am expecting $6k range before the week ends.

Right, I'm under the impression that investors never really left and go to other form of investments. They are just waiting from the outside and wanted to come back if the market conditions improved.

And at the start of this month, the price shoots up, and then the FOMO started to come back because the price is still cheap at of the moment and everyone is scalping come back before the price goes into the $6k. So let's see how it pans out, I'm also expecting $6k at the end of the week, but $5.5 is not bad.

Many of them have beensilent about investing because they were still looking for the best spot to come in and hoping that the price will crash further for them to take advantage of buying it at low, forgetting the fact that we have real time players in the market who can make big changes when they move their funds into the market at any given time, we can see now that majority of them are not rushing to buy out of FOMO, but thank it is still a good time for them to quickly pick up any quantity they can pick so they don’t miss out from the next price you made reference to.

It has settled around $5000 now. So I guess FOMO had stop a bit.
For now. If you look at the last time we went from $5k to $6k, or fell from $6k back to $5k, there has never really been much resistance at these levels. I suspect with the next upward movement, there will again be a lot of FOMO and we will rapidly jump up towards $6k. Not saying we won't correct downwards before that thought.

What? 20 billion dollars would be too much for just one person to pump into the market mate,  even though I myself and many other including some analyst still cannot determine the main factor that contributed to this growth, which I believe will be visible to us soon.

So, I really doubt if it is as a result of just one big investor and if it is, I do hope it’s a genuine investor and not just a whale coming to raise our hope with the intention of dumping on us soon, but I want to strongly believe we got lots of investors for today that are also very rich to do so. Whatever it is, it’s a favorable condition to all of us that are BTC holdlers.

He didn't say $20 billion, the report says it's more of like $100 million to push the price above $1000 in short amount of time. It could be one people or several entities behind, but it was a well orchestrated play on their part.

If the hype will start again just like last year then the FOMO would be to great, and create even more FOMO. I'm in for a FOMO train that escalates to a new all time high. Got the popcorn all stocked up for this summer.

We have some organic growth, not artificial and irrational buyers coming in just to get into the next hype train. We have seen that those who FOMO got burned easily and they are the first to bitch around the community saying they have lost so much money in the market. It has settled around $5000 now. So I guess FOMO had stop a bit.

It is very glaring here that the rapid increase in the price of Bitcoin was not an unusual one, FOMO must have really played out here and I am sure it will still play out again, many people aside those trading are actually doing more of holding now, especially those who started buying now as a result of FOMO, another one will be created which is expected to shoot bitcoin high to $7000 in a couple of weeks.

I don’t expect to see any form of panic sell for now because we have a lots of investors who are quite wiser now than the previous years.

Anyway, it could be the right time to max out the cc to buy crypto again.  Lololol.  Cheesy

I wish this wouldn't happen (i.e. people investing with borrowed money) but it's certainly reality with how the price has gone up. Retailers are very sentiment driven, therefore buy because the price goes up, and sell or not buy because the price is going down. I was like that too in the very beginning. I bought the pumps and sold the dumps. Cheesy

The funny thing about retailers is when they start wondering why the price is going down when they buy and up when they sell. It doesn't come up in their mind to do the exact opposite after so many similar mistakes.

none of the above (a slow rise)
I think this option in the poll should be ruled out as a 20%+ price increase in just two days doesn't show that Bitcoin is a "slow" mover. We all know that this price breakout is not the "slow rise" that we have been expecting for awhile now, this might just be the FOMO doing the price increase of Bitcoin now. If we really want to see Bitcoin not to repeat the 16 months of bear market we shouldn't be happy about this price break out now, so a correction at around 5,200$ to 5,500$ might just fix this price pump.

I wonder who the buyer (or buyers) was.  I mean it looks like a guy or one group cos all that +20% rise happened in one go for a tad under two hours.  

If you can find out who that is, I think you could at least figure out what's up and have some idea how far this really goes.

It's still a break out from its 3k - 4k USD range tho.  Let's see how it pans out.  It could be the start of a huge trend back to...  I won't even say it (maybe ath.  Lmao).
I was half hoping for another 3 year long bear market, to give me maximum amount of time to accumulate. A little upward movement towards $6k is fine, but I don't want another all time high for at least another year. I'd also much prefer a slow and steady climb up towards $20k again, rather than the ridiculous gains we saw in the last few days and during the bull run at the end of 2017. Those kind of price movements are neither organic nor sustainable.

And its true today's sudden pump is due to FOMO.
I think the 'real' FOMO wave would've kicked in once people woke up and saw the big spike in the price (seems like the sudden increase happened around midnight in USA time, early morning in Europe) and we would've seen another big pump after the first thanks to fomo buyers and we probably would've reached 5k or even a bit more.

The sudden rise definitely sends signals to come back and invest ones again. Its another opportunity, just don't get your ass hanging when the bubble popped. This is however the earliest possible come back of the bulls, the last time it took them years but this time they just let a year and then back so soon?

i expect a more slow rise from now on compared to big jumps and lots of FOMO buys and it sounds more logical to me too because we are getting out of a big and long bear market that has left the market damaged and the investors confidence in ruins specially with the latest drop which was unrealistic and scared people off.
also last time we were in the same situation, the rise had a spike and then it was mostly slower rises instead of spike-y rises.

and now we are back above $5000 with a solid slower rise after the correction occurred. i believe it has been a bigger FOMO than i expected and now people are slowly coming back to the market buying bitcoin with the money they have been holding and waiting for the opportunity or signal of rising.
to be honest at this point i am expecting $6k range before the week ends.

If the situations can be like this, I am sure we can reach those number, but now, the price is back to $4800-$4900 and stay at that level. But there is a chance for the price to increase higher again as the line still goes up. The rise of bitcoin trigger the other coin to increase and some old coins has to adjust their price, and so do the new coins, and we can hope that it is the time for the bull to shows up to us.

While I am writing this, Bitcoin is sits exactly at $4,923.31. After it reached  $5k yesterday, the price slowly crawled back to that figure a while ago.
So, do you guys consider this as a bull run or are you still looking for more signs of bull run? Or is this still an effect of FOMOing?

P.s anyway I voted for $1000 fomo.

And its true today's sudden pump is due to FOMO.
I think the 'real' FOMO wave would've kicked in once people woke up and saw the big spike in the price (seems like the sudden increase happened around midnight in USA time, early morning in Europe) and we would've seen another big pump after the first thanks to fomo buyers and we probably would've reached 5k or even a bit more.

I run bitcoin-qt and it slowed down. Fees have also increased. This dont happened the other times.
Fees have been on the rise over the past few days for no apparent reason. I made a transaction yesterday and the optimal fee was around 60 sat/B. A week ago, fees were around 16 sat/B

The $800-$1000 price increase earlier was so abrupt that it looks like someone just bought a huge number of coins on an exchange and forgot that they might affect the market,

Yes you are correct, some mysterious buyer bought 20,000 Bitcoin across the market exchange.  It's on the news, https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2019/04/02/mystery-buyer-bitcoin-price-5000-cryptocurrency/.  It seems some Big whales is  up for Bitcoin investment.



I would go for $1000,  it is still a conservative guess since we all know how crazy Bitcoin market is.  Once FOMO kicks in there is no stopping on the uptrend until it  hits the ceiling.

Agreed. Although there are some idiots like my friend who FOMOed in at the peak, the majority of this movement was bots and pre-existing buy stop orders.


$4900 is still a low price anyways, when we reach a new all time high he will be very happy with his purchase.
True, if he can be convinced just to hold on. I expect if we see a pull back down to low to mid 4000s, he will panic and sell before the next upward movements, and then end up FOMOing in again at the height of the next rally. Some people just have no patience.

I really wouldn’t know whats gonna happen even a Sharp drop could happen, hope always not for that scenario “but in BTC”
All is possible

What is the really most important thing in BTC is as o_e_l_e_o says PATIENCE .... and accumulate when possible

User count wil keep increasing and price Will follow

^  It went over 5k USD for a bit.  And I don't think there's 'fomo'.  It looks like one guy or one group in coordination with another guy or group.  If there was any real fomo from the crowd, it would've gone to 6k USD easy.

Three possibilities ?

Holy crap, I woke up this morning to bitcoin at more than $4700!  That's quite an increase--but I'm still not convinced that this is an actual trend or if we're going to end up back where we started in a week or so.

As far as FOMO goes, I bet it played a part in this recent rise.  It always does when the market really starts to move.  People get impatient and start remembering all the times they missed out on profiting from bitcoin's crazy swings, and they start throwing money into the market.  It's all good, though.  I'm sure this is making a lot of people a lot of money.  And I don't have a clue when the next leg up is going to be at.  Not even sure what that means.

I wonder who the buyer (or buyers) was.  I mean it looks like a guy or one group cos all that +20% rise happened in one go for a tad under two hours.  

If you can find out who that is, I think you could at least figure out what's up and have some idea how far this really goes.

Talking about FOMO, I have a friend who messaged me this morning to say bought a couple of thousand dollars worth at around $4,900, and is upset that it has already lost some value. When I asked him what he had been doing for the last 4 months of sideways movement, he said he'd been "waiting for the right time". What made him think that after a pump of 20% in an hour was suddenly "the right time" is beyond me.

I thought we would correct a bit harder than we have, and I still think we might over the next day or two.

That is just the newbie's mindset, they are scared to buy when they see red.  This is why we see this crazy parabolic rises.  $4900 is still a low price anyways, when we reach a new all time high he will be very happy with his purchase.

that was the bots madness (at least the initial big rise). when the resistance was broken, usually there are bots that have open watchers to execute buy orders in case price goes above that level ($4200) and that is exactly what happened. an inflow of lots of automatic buys, then the FOMO begins and the price shoots up to $5000

this is what i think happened:

this is one of the main reasons that i have been and still am expecting F.O.M.O. there are a lot of people who are doing the same. they wait for that drop (down to $1000) which someone on the internet promised them!!! then panic when the price rises up and they realize that promise was an FUD.

In the great scheme of things this isn't a truly radical move. Perhaps we could do without FOMO for quite some time. If it goes straight into overheat mode again that's not going to end well. I'd be happy if it settled downwards a bit from here and slowly grew.

This is real.

I run bitcoin-qt and it slowed down. Fees have also increased. This dont happened the other times.

Im transferring it back to the SSD. My guess is a rise to 9k then fall back below 5k.

I have a hunch that btc will break $5k within a couple of days.  The halvening isn't that far off so people are looking to buy now before supply rate drops off.  The altcoins seem to be following bitcoin like always so it doesn't hurt to diversify a little bit.

Although voted for $500 but I don't think it will hit $5.5K today or tomorrow. Most likely there will small correction. Perhaps it would reach next week if trend continues. I am still not believing that is bull run. Most likely it is a bull trap in my opinions. If btc stay above $4.5K then we can say btc preparing to another small bull. And its true today's sudden pump is due to FOMO. We have to wait at least 2 days to understand actual trend.

That usually happens after the price reaches the highest price, and it seems, $4800-$4900 will be the next highest price after we are down and make the correction before, but I still hope that the price can break $5000 again. But I see that the line still on the up line, so maybe we will see an increase for little in the next day. The bull run or not, and we are happy to see that bitcoin can increase in one night Wink

Its not major FOMO yet, its more shorts being too gloomy and thinking price moves in one direction only.    This is never possible because that would be free money, markets make people pay if anything

FOMO = water water foam is somehow the image I see every time people say this word, I cant help it.   Its the rapids Shocked

other people may have dumped their coins by now, but the price still stands to where it is until right now.

Most people will hardly dump their currencies because after witnessing a long period of falling prices they are already aware that they have to insure for a long time and $4700 is not a very high price, with analysts who are making predictions that the price would fall to  $3000 and always fail in their predictions it is difficult for people to believe that the price will fall to  $3000, so people are optimistic that they should only hold long term to have high profits

I voted a conservative $500, looks like a lot had made a short squeeze when the price goes to $5000 and now it seems that we lost some momentum and corrected itself around the $4600. We need to go the bottom as to what has caused the massive spike, did the whales pump it because it doesn't really looks organic to me unless we are really in a bull run wherein a $1000 increased a day will be a normal thing. So let's see how it goes, we just started this week and anything can happen and maybe FOMO will push it and slice $5000, gonna be interesting week ahead of us.

$1000 is a probable target, though from the looks of it, it looks like the movement has lost its steam and is now residing at the gentle arms of $4700 and won't be pushing any higher anytime sooner. The $800-$1000 price increase earlier was so abrupt that it looks like someone just bought a huge number of coins on an exchange and forgot that they might affect the market, although if that was the case, other people may have dumped their coins by now, but the price still stands to where it is until right now.

a while ago i started a topic here talking about the FOMO that is going to occur when the price rise begins. here is the topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/what-do-you-think-the-size-of-the-fomo-going-to-be-when-it-starts-5108231
although there weren't that many votes but it seems like most people got the right answer (the shoot up to $5k) which was the FOMO that i was talking about there. the initial leg up which shoots price upwards $1000 in a couple of hours.

now another question. what do you think the next leg up is going to be? maybe you think there is no FOMO and only a slow rise this time?
lets see how the results are going to be this time...
