in theory but lots of people will be dumping with the newer higher price

so depends really. I think will go up gradually wave style.

Anf others will buy these coins.So what?
In the end it doesn't matter because it's all about supply and demand. And as we know that daily new supply gets cut in half the price will rise if Bitcoin continues growing.

I would say that at least part of the halving should be already priced in. This should not be as the first halving, in which nobody knew what could happen. Now people are mostly convinced that halving will raise price, so it is very likely that many bought in advance, making the price raise already.

But in halving the price increase isn't about more people buying, it is because there is less coins sold by the miners.
So that is why biggest price increase will happen after the halving.

If the amount of buying is the same as before the halving, the price should rise as the supply is lower than before.

opened them soon as you never know when the great big spike will come.

There are many people here with a long-only strategy.
They all believe in the long term growth potential of bitcoin.
When the next surge happens, they will all benefit.

OK an instantaneous buy followed by lots of dumps I guess but the hype may hold us up

Im still a believer in the halving.

The last halving the price was and stayed the same. I am not sure how this halving this would be different.
Remember the halving is most interesting for miners and with the current generation of miners they can mine with profit.

It's going to either $420 or $500. The halving won't bring us to $1000 as much as we'd all like that. If I'm wrong, I'll gladly be wrong believe me. There's no free lunch on Wall street, as they say, and people who think the halving is going to spike the price are believing in a free lunch.

Why is it "free lunch"?
Let me explain this to you, right now miners are getting 3600btc every day they are selling some part of that to pay electricity etc.
And after halving they will get only 1800btc per day. That is 54 000 bitcoins less every month.
So if miners are selling 50% of their mined coins and holding the other half, then there will be 27000 less coins sold every month.
That means over 12 million dollars less sales every month so of course that will affect the price!

If someone would right now buy 15000 coins (8.2$ million) from bitfinex, price would go up to 1000$

It will be a cycle. The price increase will also get more people interested in bitcoin and we could see more people buying.
The halving is one event I will be keenly waiting for.

The halving will just give us a higher price but definitely not enough to make us rich.

A - It has already started

B - Not higher than $700

C - In the range of $500

Not higher than $700? are you serious. Once we get the traction of going up going $700 will get crushed like it's nothing. Times time it will go way higher than the last ATH, and once the peak is reached, it will probably stabilize all the way down to around the last ATH, so $1000-$1200 will be the new normal (the new $300-400's).

Price rise is gonna stall at $800 dollars sometime before the halving. Next it will probably correct to between 600-650, then if all goes well after the halving, and hash power doesnt mess with it to much, and the whales have finished clearing out the scatterred bearfish, it will moon to between 3.5k and 6.3 k

Everyone is hoping that the value will rise in the halving but the chance is not that high that it will rise because the value keeps stable for a long time and that is quite bad.
I am scared that there will be a lot of people that must wait a long time until the value will be more and of course they will not like it and that is quite logic.

But it must rise a long time so many people can get much profit of it and that would be nice for them.

Nothing so outlandish is going to happen, there are decent arguments that the halving could have already be priced in. Seriously, don't count on a massive price increase because you'll most likely get burned. The profit taking from 2015 can smash any rally before it even begins.

With the Halving in mind and assuming that the value of bitcoins is increasing steadily, I'd say the price would probably cap at $750 after the Halving and then settle down at around maybe $450 a few weeks/months after the halving because of the big bitcoin dump that will definitely happen. Pretty much the same as what happened in 2014. There was big leap of bitcoin value and then (almost) everyone started dumping and the value continuously started dropping.

Continously dropping.... but not down to levels before the last halving. We have always been way above the last pre halving value despite all ups and downs since.

The pump... I think it goes up and down a lot but on a higher level than without the halving.

Price will go up to 750 I guess and settle at 350...

Y answers:

c) 1k usd

the halving hype is real and it will only get bigger the closer we get to the actual halving time. and my speculation is that it will happen around summer time and the price will easily go to $1000 and it can even go higher to $2000 but that has lower possibility right now and even if the price comes back down it will settle around $600

5k usd is a bit of an overestimate... I seriously can't imagine it going that high in such a short period of time.

It's basically 10x the market cap of BTC in a few months, I mean...

After the halving, my bet is that all the kids holding out for 1K, 5K, Bitcoins, are going to have their hearts broken.

Before the Halving, I like a top of around $850.

b) At most, will be around $700 even with the supply cutting into half.
c) It will settle at around $550 and that's few months after the halving with new support level.

don't you think we're overrating it?
perhaps just $500 is pretty much doable today as there are other altcoins moving up before halving actually starts, if btc goes up so are the alts.

you are mistaken my friend.
a couple of altcoins like litecoin have a history of following bitcoin's price but that is not even guaranteed to happen.
and the rest of them has never moved with bitcoin price so i don't see any reason why they should start now.

Shit, did I leave the stove on?

I think the serious pump will start in late May. I am not very sure how high it would go but I am thinking around $800 max. The price will settle at plus 50% of the current value so my expectation is around $600-$650. I would love it if we pass the $1000 threshold this year but I am kinda skeptical about that.

we don't know that and there is no way of knowing it.
also it is possible that the rise will be smaller than expected for example rise only as high as $600 after halving.

but my guess is the rally will start in a month or two and the price will rise up to $1000, but again that is just speculating.

Have you guys consider we might just move up slowly and claw back some of the value lost since last ATHs? So what i mean is maybe you wont see a pump just yet and just a slow move to $700 etc. I think we will just as likely get a proper bubble after the summer when internet activity picks up, and yeah the launch pad will be like $700 so ATHs will be many many thousand.
