Topic: What about 2022? (Read 732 times)

In the long term everyone knows that bitcoin will increase, even to reach the new ATH we have often seen in the market, in 2021 bitcoin has reached the new ATH more than once, this year it is very possible for bitcoin to return to the ATH, but if the correction can restored in February, what makes our difficulty now is what month the new ATH will be achieved.

That's how the real market goes, negative and positive trends really depend on the previous year, although sometimes it's not always the same, market sentiment continues to spread until it finds its lowest point for bitcoin, I think after that only pumping will occur to improve bitcoin prices to become more stable in the market, while to achieve a new ATH after the stable condition can be maintained in the future, of course we don't know what month it happened.

Waiting for the price to stabilize is rare to sell some of the bitcoins we have, or to be able to hold until it reaches a new ATH, the correction phase cannot be guaranteed until February, but I have the same belief as you guys, that next March bitcoin will be more stable and make a move new, but to reach the new ATH, we can't predict what month?

To predict bitcoin in the future, we can look at developments in the previous year, there are similarities in the pattern of bitcoin travel in the market, usually bitcoin tends to follow the journey process in the previous year, meaning that this year bitcoin will not be far from 2021, to reach the new ATH is very possible if we look at the trip in the previous year, but it's true we can't know for sure when it will happen.

Correction conditions forced bitcoin to continue to be depressed at the current price, a bullish phase is also possible after the correction period has fully recovered, but if you pay attention to current market conditions, January and February are not the time for the correction to recover, many changes will occur in the future, but I don't think it's that far from the previous year's scenario, and maybe we should wait for the price to stabilize.

The current conditions determine the next month, the correction will return to the normal path, if March has reached the recovery stage, but I think there is no need to worry for bitcoin this year, because actually the price decline has not been at its lowest point, maybe for people who invest short term has a big effect, but for the long term I don't think it's showing a red dot, so be patient until March and above.

So far nothing bright about bitcoin yet. The scenario is looking really boring and uncertain. Since 2022 started the price is being slowly pushed down without the recovery energic rates we had in 2021. Last year, if the price dropped to 41,000$, I'm sure few minutes or hours later we would have already be seeing a peak near 44,000$ or 45,000$ again.

That is what 2022 is lacking and it doesn't look good... News are worthless to predict market fluctuations anyway, because as soon as BTC drops, we see a massive wave of negative news, but when BTC recovers even a little, another wave, but of optimistic news saying bitcoin is going to be adopted by company X or Y, a wealthy guy bought million or billion of dollars in crypto, bitcoin to the moon in 1 year and so on... take control of the internet.

I also think that if the decline that occurred in 2022 is a continuation of the price decline in 2021, the negative sentiment that continues to spread makes the market start to feel depressed and in the end push the bitcoin price to its lowest price in the last year, now all we need is some good news that is able to push the bitcoin price back to be able to rebound and again experience a price increase may reach its latest ATH.

I've seen several times that Bitcoin can always recover if the price drops, so it won't be much different from what happened this year. Moreover,
Bitcoin's performance in 2021 has shown Bitcoin really has a very bright future. So I believe in 2022 Bitcoin performance will be better than 2021,
then I have no doubt at all that Bitcoin will be bullish again. Indeed, there is no guarantee that the price of Bitcoin will recover in the near future,
however I believe Bitcoin will recover. I agree with you, we shouldn't just focus too much on the current state of Bitcoin, because it is very likely
that in the next few weeks or months there will be a positive Bitcoin price movement. So stay calm and don't panic in the face of the current
bearish trend, as long as we can be patient holding the Bitcoin we have, making a profit from Bitcoin is only a matter of time.

For now we can say there's no guarantee but its still early to tell that we cannot see some bullish phase at that month. Many hopes for recovery and I think once the price became stable then that is the time of accumalation of whales so I guess maybe from that time we can see some good action for the movement of bitcoin. Also lets not look for current condition since many changes will happen in next following months.

The crypto world deserve that something new will happen this year of 2022. Everyone hopes that cryptocurrency will find a new horizon. 2022 will be another revolution. The year of 2021 was relatively good year for Bitcoin.

This speculation formed when bitcoin was in its second bullish phase and bitcoin was trying to break through the ATH it reached in April. this second round of bullish phase occurred towards the end of the year and led many to speculate that this second round of bullish phase would cause bitcoin to hit a higher ATH or $100k by the end of the year. actually the speculation is quite reasonable because the speculation was formed when bitcoin was in a bullish phase at the end of the year.

We were all looking to see the perfect bull run in december of 2021 but it did not happen. I think that 2022 will not be a bear year and we may see new all time high probably over 100.000$ in december of 2022.

I think that the super cycle of bitcoin is extended and we may see the peck of this bull run in the last quarter of this year.

In my opinion, from December 2021 to early 2022 now, the bitcoin price seems to continue to be dragged by a heavy correction, which seems to be starting to reach the climax of the selling attempt as it has approached the main psychological level where the bitcoin price is still difficult to return to the $50k level.

true, in 2021 there was a lot of speculation saying that by the end of 2021 the bitcoin price would reach $100k but at the end of the year the bitcoin price tended to fall and failed to reach $100k. and in the end at the end of 2021 the bitcoin price closed with $47k, currently most people are still speculating after this bear market ends the bitcoin price will recover and will reach $100k. This means that this kind of speculation will continue to emerge and no one knows which speculation will come true.

It will really be a big jump to at least $60k this year, might take half a year to do that. But who knows, maybe we still have that final push and help the price somewhat recovered from this bearish sentiments.

Definitely, another very difficult year (and almost every year), we will see a lot of ups and downs in the market but maybe we will have enough market movement again in the second half of the year to even push it to $70k.

Let me explain how my decision about year 2022 formed. We all have heard about 4-year cycles in cryptocurrency. It was mentioned many times here that last months of the year are historically best months in cryptocurrency.

November and December of 2021 were basically red months. We saw how in 2014 and 2018 Bitcoin price dropped after reaching ATH, and next years after ATH hardly can be names as "good years". I see similarities in price drops. That is why I think that since  November 2021, we are repeating the year of 2018.

I do not pretend to be a top analytics, or be a fortuneteller, I just express my thoughts.

Until we get some regular series its hard to speculate but to me its fairly obvious after such a rise last year that we remain bullish but must also consolidate that price action. It could take an entire year to do so, it would be surprising if we dont make another attempt upwards and challenge levels like the 50 day average and come near to 60k at the least. 
  In short it wont only be one phase of price action for an entire year, we'll see variation and I dont foresee an actual strong Dollar appearing to force all market prices down.  There is the fear of rising interest rates and larger deflationary pressure but I do doubt this occurs in actual effect from central bank policy, more easing makes BTC progress unhindered long term imo.

I still think that we are going to see a positive year in 2022, however it seems that it is going to be harder than what I thought, the price is close to the 40000 mark and it is possible that if the bears can push down the price below that mark there could be some panic in the market, which could make the price to go even lower.

However while many would be worried by such a thing at the same time it is an incredible opportunity, those corrections do not have the tendency to last for a long time and it is a golden opportunity to buy bitcoin for a price way below its average.

bitcoin back to $10k, for me it's impossible anymore

I'm willing to bet, when the price of Bitcoin is at $25k, millions of people will flock to buy bitcoin because that price is already very very very cheap. when we are happy to see the price of bitcoin go up then we should be happy to see the price of bitcoin go down because it is the best opportunity to buy

2022 is still very long, the extraordinary surprise in bitcoin will definitely appear again

You have already decided that it will be like 2018 by looking at the first 10 days of the year? So, you are confident that you are capable of predicting the other 355 days left in the year to be exactly like 2018 from just the first 10 days? You are sure about that? I mean I have to say kudos to you for being able to predict 35x more days than what we had so far simply by checking the past and the first 10 days of the year, I would not be able to do that as well as you did, in fact I would think it would be in vain to try to predict a whole year by looking at under 2 weeks.

Leaving sarcasm aside, do not get hopeless just because you have seen some bad days so far, it is just 10 days, and I do not think that it will be like that for a long time, eventually it will get better and we are going to do better as well, it is just matter of time to see when that will happen.

The history already started to repeat, but this time November-December 2021 were like January-February 2018. Right now we are repeating March 2018 (if we look on price drops).

I think that we will repeat the situation, when Bitcoin price has dropped from 20k to 4k. Elon Musk made few tweets in 2020 and that triggered a growth. I think current drops can be neutralized only with another push. But, I dont know who is going to make that. That is why, I think the whole year 2022 will pass under the slogan HOLD.

^^ If history repeats itself? then March will be the worst for bitcoin, just like in 2018. March was the start of the bear market for the whole crypto, bitcoin goes down hard and the rest of the altcoin followed.

So as much as I wanted to see a good recovery phase in the second quarter, it might be the other way around. I'm not saying this to scare anyone, maybe just a bit of warning not to accept the fact that a bear market is imminent. I'm talking about experience here because before I was in denial that the price will not go down in 2018 although all signs are already there.

Anything could happen though, if bitcoin will dropped $10k or even below, it should result in a huge panic but that panic will also open up an opportunity for those investors who trust the future of bitcoin as eventually after the bear market, we will again see a bull market.

I would even be glad to see it dump hard the soonest so the bear market will not stay too long.

Yes, I think it's $3k, somewhere above it in hundreds.
We will never know where the flow will be and its not just one who can manipulate the market. The domino effect happens when one whale puts a dent on the price backwards by selling. Elon Musk for example. Even average holders will try to do the same to ride the wave and that causes more panic.
IMO, just be ready for anything. FUD will come and it might go way below our expectation but I am positive it will be back to this number or higher in a faster way unlike the other years where Bitcoin is unknown to most of the people.

Again, if we also look at the history of bitcoin, you can clearly see no one can see how low it can go during a bearish market. Remember the high of 2017 December? and what is the lowest low we got since that bull run? if my memory serves me right, its around $3k. So we can't say that bitcoin won't drop to $20k or even $10k, of course we want it to recover, but what if it didn't this year? That is a big question that everyone should be prepared, and that is what I'm trying to point out.

Bitcoin is surprising the rate is falling i dont understand why bitcoin falling to this level And is very scary, if i have Bitcoin i will withdraw all before three months period and use it for business physically than online because the trust in bitcoin hours days is not longer reliable from 50 to 48 and is till going down more, this 2022 is like it will not be good with bitcoin because this stage is moderating the future of bitcoin for now

What wins is the Not having positive that December 2021 instead fell is what we experience .

you have your answer now as the 1st week of 2022 still brings us bad market indication and there seems to be more in coming.

If you are ready to HOLD then you are safe, but if you are still struggling to gain bitcoin? then you are late to the rally because market cannot be predicted this time as the movement is going down slowly but continuously .

Every year has its period of price correction. It's expected and that's quite understandable too, owing to the interplay of the forces of supply and demand. We saw that in the past and I don't think it will change this 2022. I expect that correction to come sooner than later. Perhaps, it will come this first quarters. However, that isn't to say it will be all gloomy for the crypto industry considering now that institutional players have come into the game. I think there won't be so much cash leaving the industry when the market goes down like what we saw in 2018 with a lot of investors taking profit and completely exiting the industry. Even as I type this I observe that the total market cap has dropped to around $2.1 trillion. A few months ago it almost hit $3 trillion.

It could be that we are just 8 days in this year, but sure did it was a bad indication for thing to comes as the price is on the lower $40k right now. So you can't blame the majority thinking that we are really in a bear trend at least short term because of this price movement right in our face.

So it's better not to expect a new ATH just saying, so that we won't be disappointed. Just like when everyone is thinking $100k this December, it turns out to be $50k or less. It's good to be optimistic, but at the same time you need to be realistic as well.

There is no way to predict whether Bitcoin will fall in 2022 or any other year.
and the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and can be affected by a variety of factors, including global economic conditions, regulatory changes, and fluctuations in demand.
there is definitely a risk that the value of Bitcoin could drop significantly in 2022 or in the future. So, if you are thinking of investing in Bitcoin, it is important to understand the risks involved and only put money into it that you can afford to lose.
this year has only been eight days and the journey is still long and nothing is impossible for bitcoin because bitcoin can easily turn things around and I am very optimistic that this year and in the near future there will be a new ATH.

You know, I clearly remember the start of 2021 when bitcoin was at $10k-$17k or somewhere in that range and it was starting to get some real momentum before COVID hit the world, and then it started sinking.  Amazingly, when everything was looking bleaker by the day with businesses forced to shut down and so on, it started to climb again until it eventually hit a new all-time high. 

Even before COVID, I didn't hold out any hope that bitcoin would even get close to its previous ATH in 2021--but it did.  Thus I could sit here at my keyboard and type out a prediction for 2022, but why bother?  Most likely I'll be wrong, and it's certain that nobody cares anyway. 

We're off to a weak start this year, but though that might not be a good sign, we're only a week into 2022.  There's plenty of time for bitcoin to rebound and rocket to Mars if that's what it's going to do.  I will say that it's probably going to depend at least in part on general economic conditions, because if people don't have money to play with they're not going to be buying crypto.  So far as that goes, I'm fairly pessimistic.  Interest rates could rise, inflation could skyrocket, and who knows what the jobs market is going to do. 

Whatever happens, I raise my glass to the forum and propose a toast to bitcoin and a new ATH in 2022! 

Although we all do not know the lowest price of Bitcoin this year, but we can learn from the history of Bitcoin movement. Where Bitcoin can
always recover every time it experiences a price decline, therefore it will not be different from what is happening now. I'm also optimistic that
Bitcoin this year won't drop back to $20k, because now Bitcoin has been trusted by many institutions that hold Bitcoin long-term. My prediction is
that the lowest possible Bitcoin price will be above $30k, but it won't take long, because Bitcoin will recover soon and will go back up to the ATH price.
I also hope Bitcoin can return to $50k this month, so it will make Bitcoin bounce back again. If we decide to invest in Bitcoin, we must have
a good strategy. So we don't panic if the Bitcoin price doesn't move as expected and can prepare for the worst if it happens.

In my opinion, Since entering the start of the new year, Bitcoin price has not come out of the correction zone. until now the price of bitcoin continues to be corrected where the price drops to the level of $42k-$40k. Therefore, I think 2022 will be a much more difficult year for Bitcoin as many traders will also focus on altcoins and other stocks.

Again, no one really knows what will be the lowest low for bitcoin starting this year and the rest of the bearish trend, it might not be $20k, but for sure it will be lower than the current price. But as long as we can bounce back and recover to $50k'ish then we might not go lower than $40k.

However, we should be ready for any price action, I mean if we go bear market then we should prepare for it. Buy in the dip could be a good strategy in my opinion.

All that btc need now is just a positive news now to stop the falling knife and start a recovery for another ATH. I do believe that this news will come soon or bitcoin will begin an upward move to the road of bull by itself due to the buyer's believe to get more, but I don't know how btc could go down to $20,000 during this time of adoption .

I think so too, there is a lot of information circulating that btc will be corrected to 20k. I think there might be a negative correction from the current value but I don't think it will reach the low level of 20k. I'm still optimistic that the price of btc in 2022 will improve even though it's not like in 2021.

Indeed. As long as you can buy at a low price and hold it, I am sure you will profit when the price increases later. But besides the increases, bitcoin will experience getting down so you do not have to panic instead of still holding your bitcoin. Sooner or later, bitcoin will reach $70k and this year, we still have many months to see it happen. Hopefully, the bear market will not come in this Q1 and Q2 so we can expect to profit before it happens.

I think Cryptocurrencys price will be more increase than 2021.I still believe this year will be benefit from holding coin. Bitcoin is most popular coin in crypto market. Bitcoin huge development in 2021 and price increase unpredictable. Cryptocurrency price again will be grow up this year.So don’t miss that opportunity coz market little dip,You can buy bitcoin and long time hold,i hope you will be more benefit it.I Think bitcoin price will be reach $70k+ in 2022.

Well, I believe and am quite sure that this year, cryptocurrency will also provide benefits for the holders. in fact, I believe that a new ATH for bitcoin as well as popular altcoins will be achieved. in fact, if there is a good issue or news in the cryptocurrency world, it could be that bitcoin price actually hit $100k this year. well, what we need to do is prepare assets for it. I'm also pretty sure that this year will be the year for crypto again.

Once the market turned bullish there is not much of speculation about the market movements. People started to talk about missing the chances of investing earlier. Further when there is a correction phase people started to panic and there were some speculations. Later the market pumped faster than the previous phase. This has continued through the year with minor fluctuations and corrections at specific time interval.

This year the growth is predicted to continue, but there used to be a bear market after a long bull market. Probably this could happen once after an altcoin season.

Based on the adoption phase and how these NFT and play to earn generating a lot of support, we're still in a profitable position and the market will continue to be robust we just don't have to so hurry for Bitcoin to move to $100k, there will be a huge pump along the way just trust the process, new innovations coming in new platform are created and developers are on a brainstorm to create things that will benefit the community.

The current movement is very difficult to predict. The new ATH will definitely happen but we can't really say when it will happen.
On the other hand I have a feeling it will be very close, and when looking at some history and looking at the records every month, April has always been good at rising prices but it would be great if it did see an increase in the near future
What is needed now is to wait with absolute certainty that the time will come sooner or later

I sense a little more correction in the beginning of 2022. These is a lot chance for an ATH  in the middle by April or May 2022. And 2022 might not be as like 2021. 2021 will be spoken in history as bitcoin reaching ATH three time. But as market is unpredictable, it can be even visa versa. We might see an ATH this February and can start seeing a correction.

I'm not sure how you are brave enough to advise people to keep buying bitcoin just because you have high optimism to see the price recover or reach another ATH in 2022. People should not take this as financial advice, they need to weigh the risks and they also need to make your own analysis for it. We should not encourage people to keep buying when we are not brave enough to do so. DYOR & DWYOR is the way to go when we advise people about risky trading and investing.

I wouldn't say it's confusing, but it was totally unexpected that the price will move on the opposite direction. Specially that we have the momentum already, hitting ATH and then by November-December we should be close on hitting $100k.

But now it seems that it is trading sideways and as others said, a period of accumulation.

Or maybe it's the beginning of a long bearish trend for all we know.

If that can be called correction then the correction happens in a span of more than 1 month? remember that in November 2021 Bitcoin recorded another ATH in which almost 68,000 dollars.
and from that price corrected down for 40k level and stays on that level, meaning the correction stands that long? wrong i dont think so.

but of course there are many people that expect a high climb before the year end but they are all fails.

Lucky for me because i accepted that fact before the 1st week of December happens.

This is what many people expect, the close of 2021 makes bitcoin corrected without a complete recovery, so early 2022 is the benchmark in the first month, but I believe bitcoin will return to normal in five or six months, considering that at the beginning of this year bitcoin was still in a state of decline or correction, Hopefully in the future bitcoin will recover, so that we can use this investment to be more profitable, high expectations are the reason to see bitcoin grow this year

After closing 2021 the bitcoin price is at $47,000, well below bullish expectations, Bitcoin price is yet to see any signs of picking up. Especially in the first week of 2022, the bitcoin price is still below $50,000. But I see in 2022 the price of bitcoin could be bullish again at least in Q1 2022.

many gave their opinion because what happened to the analysis last year was not proven and the correction continues to this day.
if the events of last year will be the same as this year, then from the end of January to March there will be an increase in bitcoin and it is possible that a $100K analysis will occur this year.

everything can happen as well as your analysis that precisely in Q2 the price will reach $100K, for me is whenever it happens it doesn't matter because there is a time limit as well that bitcoin correction must be completed immediately and start with an increase.

I do not trust those stablecoins all that much to be fair. I am not saying that they are bad, but all I am thinking about is how they are not as trustworthy as the crypto currencies that I buy. Obviously we are talking about something that is a bit more dangerous than usual, but that doesn't change the fact that centralization is what kills crypto.

There is a good amount of situation where people need to realize stablecoins that are based on just one company means that the moment that company bankrupts or decides to steal all of your money then we are going to end up with absolutely nothing at all. I am not willing to take that risk. Which is why I distributed all of my portfolio into many different coins and tokens, that's how I decrease the risk, it could be a lot better in the future hopefully but even if there is a drop in one of them, others will cover the difference.

In my opinion, 2022 will be an important time for Bitcoin. As the oldest and best known cryptocurrency, I think the price of bitcoin will go higher as support grows from large institutions. When Bitcoin hits its high point, it will attract a lot of attention and action in the crypto market as a whole. Therefore, I predict bitcoin will reach and break the $100,000 price in Q2 2022.

I still believe the correction phase will continue until March, bitcoin conditions will not recover in the next few months, considering that in 2021 bitcoin corrected for almost three months in a row, but for the next month bitcoin will increase, but to reach the maximum price it is enough difficult for now, however I am still optimistic that bitcoin will reach a high price this year, either mid or late 2022.

I am mostly turning into pegged coins right now. I am not sure about bitcoin because there are big institutions has bitcoin now.

But for the alts, they seem like overvalued and very easily manupulated. Lots of meme coin, lots of shit coin has millions of value. That can't be like this forever. I was there when 2018 happened, now i am more careful.

For now it's going to wait and see for the majority of investors in this 2022. As you have said, no changes and no movement at all, although we've seen the price fluctuating from $46k-$48k and hopefully reaches $50k again and sustain it.

But in any case we are really in a bear market, let me just say that we should all be prepared and be a whale and buy cheap BTC when it goes down hard in 2022 and take advantage of it being at a discounted price, in my opinion.

No one can tell, what will happen in 2022, but 2021 is a better year compared to what we've had in the past, with the new hype for NFT and play to earn we can look forward to a better 2022, still just be careful there are still fake projects, rug pulls and scammers it has been part of the industry, just learn how to be better on looking for good coins to invest.

Finally, we are now in 2022 and the price does not move before the end of the year but we still have much time to wait and see.
Hopefully, everything will change in this Q1 and the crypto market will have more chance to rise because the market can back and surprise us in the new year.
We all want to see this year can become profitable as the last year but unfortunately, there are no signs or good info that we can get.
We still need to have confidence that the crypto market will rise at the right time and this time, we have more time to accumulate any coins we want.

Always be a speculative year which every end of the month of every year we do really have those kind of impressions because this market is truly cant really be predicted on whats next.

2022 neither might be a good or a bad one because bearish market could happen on next or some ATH movements which would be great but no one really knows on what would happen.
We do know that there are lots of factors that could really affect the market neither in pure adoption matters or some sort of FUD and shills or something like that.

If it would be an end for current bullish trend then we might have strong bearish trend right now but we are having only sideways market which confirms that we are having some more bullish wave on this 4 year cycle of bitcoin market. So, 2022 would be another exciting year for all bitcoin bulls. Get ready to experience lots of surprises.

The market is at lower end still not into the bottom of what we had a ATH in April. So, the current bottom could be interpreted as usual ups and downs and might recover from it quicker than we could imagine. So, 2022 will have all the chances to be more bullish.

Well that's why it's called prediction mate because this is not certain and can be right or wrong , what is important about this is the idea that we can at least take a closer look on those given prediction and may find it profitable or not.
actually there are even others that they said being fraudster but look at it now? the market tells they are correct as the price drops low like how they predicted this.
but 2022  may be different from now.

We are hours away now to end 2021 yet there are no even small sign of growing again , though we can see a 2% growth in the last 24 hours yet we are not going to find a great increase now.
so Let be 2022 the next speculative year , and hope that we will see movement that will make us all realize how we missed the chance in buying this year to sell next year or  more.
Just keep waiting and Holding of course we wanna see the coming year to bring us fortune .

Wise choice is to buy then when we see the red, even though its already red still we can expect a lower price in the upcoming months but it doesn't mean that is the end of Bitcoin, that's how the cycle worked so far which means even if it falls the price will soar at some point but important thing is the highest reach will be atleast double or triple from the previous height.

I speculate lower prices during accumulation. This market is overleveraged. It will not take very much bitcoins and USDT on leverage to cause a 10% dump by only one trader. This was proven by a cryptowhale called i.am.nomad. He also did this because someone on Twitter said that he was only larping hehehe.

Depends on what's going to be the situation in many countries that has high concentration of bitcoin or crypto users, if there's no big positive change, we probably won't see a growth in the first quarter but we are definitely going to see growth in the next year and hopefully a big one.

It might be but there's a bit odd of the history in the past compared today but yeah, I still believe the history might repeat itself again sometime. Next year we will see if it's true since I was hoping though and if Bitcoin could make it to move like this without making a huge drop due to FUD then we will surely see a continuous bullishness. But sad to say, everything has an ending and Bitcoin and other stuff like that but think of it as an opportunity to buy low instead since that was your only chance to buy when Bitcoin is in a bullish trend.

2021 was a different year, it was a wild year and we have seen it go from 30k to 68k which is a lot. However, 2020 was a good year as well, people do not talk about it too much but during the first covid scare the price dropped from 10k to under 4k, and by the end it finished nearly at 30k, even if we take the start of the year which was around 7-8k and calculate it, it is still 4x or more difference on start to finish as well. Doesn't matter how we ended up with 2021, I know people like to think it was insane year, but 2020 was great too and there is no reason why that run should end.

If 2020 was great and 2021 was great then 2022 could be great as well. Even if we just fight 100k barrier all year, be around 80k+ most of the year and be 90k+ for some parts of it and just "fail to break over 100k" that is good enough. Failing to break 100k means we are trying and that is both ATH price and also a great positive for the future.

If you act on time in 2022 then you may get similar profits in 2022 as 2022 may not remain fully bullish unlike 2021. It is speculated to have continuation of bullish run in 2022 but not for whole year hence you need strong technical analysis to spot out when to pull out your holding. For the people who are into long term holding, may not bother like that as they will simply continue their holding and may plan up for 2024 halving.

Even I am so far a long time holder, I will plan up to sell something by the mid of next year. Still, it would be too difficult for anyone to spot out exact ATH price level hence going by approximate levels would be the plan as of now.

If the history is going to repeat then we are at the verge of a nose dive, 2022 may starts with bearish cycle from my assumption then the speculations will continue like this is the end of bitcoin and its going to zero, blah blah like that.

Doubt that it'll come close to the bullishness seen in 2021 to be honest.

I think that the bear market is dawning upon us, and people need to adjust their positions accordingly. Given that the next halving is in 3 years it is historically going to see a lot of bearishness from this point on.

Keep some stables so that you can DCA within the bear market, but expect a lot of new projects to be flushed down the drain in 2022.

Not optimistic bTC2022 trend, this is just my personal opinion! My point of view is that the real economy will tend to improve in 2022! There will be relatively less money going into encryption!

In my opinion, the question is not if BTC will reach 100k, it’s just a matter of when. 
Bitcoin has already been largely adopted by major financial institutions, governments and corporations in 2021.
I believe in 2022, as the USA and other countries inflation skyrockets and fiat values drop, BTC will look more attractive which will drive the price over 100k.

On institutional investment, I really thought that this would drive the price to $100k
this year, so if it wasnt as big a factor this year will it be next year?

I remain bullish for 2022, I think there are factors to play out yet like avoidance of
the effects of more inflation to come for example.


Im on the same page as Welsh, I dont mind if we dont hit massive highs in 2022.
I havent been able to accumulate in this last quarter due to unforseen issues with
my house.

These are definitely times to be buying rather than selling but the latter is what seems
to be happening lately.

I am happy that this time we have complete different December month than the past hence it could be interpreted as a welcome sign for different year than what we had after a bullish year. I mean we are going to have extended bullish run which may last up to 18 to 24 months whereas previous cycles were having only 11 or 12 months long bullish trend.

I am expecting a mixed one like first 2 quarters may remain bullish and then bearish trend and again that bearish trend may persist even in 2023 but when people start speculating about 2024's halving then we can have bulls into action for one more time.

2022 will be more profitable of course, because we all knows how bitcoin and crypto market upgrading and improving every year. So i wouldn't be surprised if bitcoin skyrocketed again and touch new all time high value. Indeed most of the analyst saying 100k is possible to happen this year and only 70k can afford. Perhaps next year it will happen since bitcoin didn't collapse like what always happen, and the good thing is it keeps holding the strong support wherein anytime soon there's a possibility it will gradually regain strength to make bullish again.

I try to think positively about what will happen to the market. If my prediction is wrong, I do not feel regret instead will search for how I can use the situation for my benefit. I think we can still have a bullish moment in 2022 as the adoption is increased than a few years ago and many people have a big interest in NFT and Metaverse projects while the crypto still shows good progress and will have a chance to increase more in the next year. But if the correction phase comes in the next year, we have a great opportunity to invest in many potential coins to take part in the next bull run that can happen after the correction.

people are just exaggerating about what would be the price this last month of the year because we have already seen the great increase
from the beginning of the year.
so expect dump this coming year lol.

2022 eventually will be bullish but right now it has to still arrest a fall in sentiment.  I dont see that much is driving us down beyond profit taking, I think for 2022 you can just assume we retrace the graph for 2021.    Right now for the last two days we've fallen consistently below the 12hr average, thats not something to fight especially but bigger then short term is the steady points and ledges left by prior moves over the course of 2021 and thats your guide for 2022 very likely.   Eventually I think 2022 is bullish, first markets will test that resolve.

the predictions that all analysts have made do not seem as good as predicted and you are right everything that will happen at the end of december is not reflected and there is even a very deep correction. Seeing this reality, it is also difficult to predict what will happen in 2022, usually at the beginning of the year there will be a correction and tbeen done since this time

will it be the same as in 2021 where it will surprise not with a correction but an increase? all have not been able to predict well just based on the habits carried out by bitcoin where at this time the habit has been violated so that it is confusing.
but hopefully there will be a change because of course the hope is very much awaited.

Hope so that it will go that high til we reach that $100,000 aim. The bitcoin community is very much bullish that it will be achieved this year so maybe it will be next year. April 2021 to Nov 2021 had not changed the price to more than 70K, next time around, the bulls will likely go to dump assuming the supercycle that they are saying is really not going to happen.

The crypto community had done a lot of o things like hyping the DEFI, play to earn, Layer 1 Solana and NFTs, what else can they do to make that $100K possible to achieve? If it's not going to break that 65,000 there won't be anywhere to go.

I think the price of bitcoin will reach $80k in 2022. That price is likely due to the enthusiasm of new investors who are tempted by cryptocurrencies to adopt it. Therefore, it is better now, to hold on and save before bitcoin returns to experience a significant rise in 2022.

It will be Bitcoin being Bitcoin ig? I'm overall bullish but I don't think the price would move that much in the following year. 2021 was that every now and then bullish scenario that we always have with the market, so I doubt 2022 would follow suit. We'd probably see a few ups and downs but that's it, the general price would probably remain to where it is right now without that many big movements. Nothing really guaranteed though, I mean it is the crypto market, anything could happen.

Trading during a year, especially next year, will be impossible, and therefore no one can say the price, but the probability of breaking the 100,000 barrier is higher than the possibility of obtaining those heights in the next three years.
In general, we must define that the stage will be for the market, which witnesses a lot of fluctuations, not stability, meaning that we will not maintain a price level within 10k, but rather severe changes, but this does not mean that we must continue with a price above 100k, but rather break the barrier even for a few seconds or approach it will be useful.

Don't know about you guys, but it seems there's always a lot of complaints about missing out around here, and while the price is currently low, isn't that the best chance of gaining extra Bitcoin that you wouldn't have had without the dip? I'll be honest, I'm not that bothered if we don't see any major surges this year, and just collect as much Bitcoin as possible before a surge in 2023/2024.

I'm thinking roughly the same as you. A chance to accumulate before a major push in a year or two could be what we need. I'm not fussed on the idea of constantly pushing the price up too soon. I have faith in Bitcoin in the long term to become more valuable, as well as increase in price by a lot more than it's currently.

anyone surely know that predictions are not 100% accurate and certain...

Crypto market is always full of mystery and there will be people who contribute with their predictions. I also remember that not everyone said bitcoin would be bullish at the end of this year, many also said it would not be bullish at the end of this year.

It's really hard to say what will be the direction of the market next year. The first quarter might dictate what will be the price at least short term. If the price seems to experience another bullish pattern, then maybe $60k or up or who knows, a new all time high.

However, if the price keeps below $50k, then 2022 might be start on a downward spiral to $30k-$40k so it might not look good for the majority of us as this could be crypto winter in the making.

Not really sure if it will be profitable or not, but again, if history repeats itself, we might end up to bearish just like in 2018, just saying. So I'm forgetting the dream of hitting 6 digits at this point, we barely touches $50k last week and now it's down again to $47k, being the pump is not organic and maybe whales and speculators are playing with our emotions again. And for that we should prepare for the worst in 2022 and adjust everything so that we can mitigate our bitcoins/fiat conversion.

2021 is the year where people are very optimistic and people are investing more into it because they see it as a hedge fund against the Dollar.

Just few weeks ago, we've seen a bit of a dip with Bitcoin and just after that we've seen it going sideways. What's my take on 2022? Well, I'm not expecting too much (as I always am) and I mean I don't see Bitcoin going to 6 digit figures next year unless we will see a continuation of a bull market. I'm leaning towards the market entering into a big correction stage or a bear market since I believe in cycles though this will not happen in the first months of the year. Well, this is just a speculation since anything can happen and we can share our own speculations right .

halving happening in the next 3 years if i calculated that rightfully , and if does then we have 2 more years to wait and watch the market circling the prices, and yes it looks like 30k is the level we will see for bitcoin in 2022, unless there comes a big news and will make another spike , but according to the market health now it seems small dumps expected in the next year or even in the following one.

But of course we might be wrong depend in the response of the incoming investors next year.

Well, I am going to be less optimistic than those of you who have commented so far. I was very optimistic this year and repeated ad nauseam that we were going to pass the $100K minimum. All the predictions that were seen gave that figure at least.

I wonder if the exorbitant returns are over for the Bitocoin, I hope not, but maybe from now on we do an X3 or X4 at most per cycle.

With all the fundamentals, Bitcoin massively exiting exchanges, institutional adoption... if we are at these prices I still don't see why we should make a big spike in 2022.

I hope I'm wrong.

People who are involved in the crypto world, especially the investment, trading, etc., of course it's okay to speculate, everyone, wants to have the nature of profit no one wants to have the nature of loss, that's the reality in the crypto world, the main goal is profit.

Speaking of december and 2022, i've read and seen a lot of things that people say about bitcoin or other cryptos, from what i read and i see, I can conclude that from some comments whether they are experts or others who are influential in the crypto field, 30% lead to acts of speculation and others lead to doubt, it means: december or 2022, i have confidence that crypto is not leading to profit, the decision is to see and monitor developments.

I believe 2022 will be the accumulation year. Last time I predicted like $20k in November, but the price seems just not making a serious move. I'd like to see the pump but we already get so much profit last year so it seems too good to be true. I'd say BTC mainly will stay at $30k-40k level and will gradually get higher because of economic growth. There won't be another serious pump before the next halving, but that's just my feeling not based on some quantitative method.

I'm not sure if the market will do as what 2021 brings because this year now really makes the market with too much increase,
so this is harder for the coming year to cover that or even take it over.

But what I am sure off is market will never experience major dump in 2022, meaning we will not experience what 2018 brings after the 2017 hype.

so meaning we can still trust the market and make it a best investment as we can buy more while waiting for the Bull to come back.

Who said that? December at times were not positive month for bitcoin but December at times are positive months for bitcoin. Do not mind what people are saying, try to check bitcoin price history yourself and do not believe people just like that.

Are you sure, but bitcoin pumped to $69000 just a month ago. Also it crashed to $40000 and it increased to $51500 recently.

Nobody knows, we should wait and see what will happen. This should not be the reason we should not hold, we can hold if not using our money for a long time period. Or better wait and see if the price will first see bear market before the next bull run.

I am still confuse too the sideways is too long sometime the trend is bullish and sometime it got dump hard. 2022 is full of speculations, but I believe the market will recover next yr as it been Christmas season thats why people keep cashing out their funds for some grilled turkey, but I'm sure this red days are probably a buy signal to some whales out there. Im pretty much loaded up too with some potential tokens.

On 2022 we will certainly be witnessing the bubble pop, however, we might also witness the last pump of this bull market before the bubble pop hehe. I have read some replies in other threads telling everyone that they expect January or February to be positive months. I reckon they might be correct but be cautious.

Also, this news hehe. I am shaking my head on this. I am beginning to be very skeptical on what his real agenda might be. Is he dumping while encouraging his followers to buy?



Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego recently encouraged followers in a holiday Twitter greeting to avoid fiat and invest in bitcoin.

"Stay away from fiat money," Salinas said in a Spanish-language video posted to Twitter on Dec. 24. "The dollar, the euro, the yen, the peso — all are the same story. It's fake money [made] of paper lies, and the central banks are producing more money than ever. Invest in Bitcoin."

This isn't the first time that Salinas, Mexico's third-richest billionaire according to Forbes, has promoted the use of bitcoin. Salinas tweeted on Dec. 16 that retailer Grupo Elektra, one of the companies belonging to his conglomerate Grupo Salinas, would accept bitcoin as payment.

2022 is definitely a bullish year because the expectation of December 2021 was not met. That means the expectation will be extended to the following year. The target in 2021 which was $100,000 was a failure. There was a strong correction that made the price fall instead of rise. Because of this, the year 2022 will not be about a correction, at least the start of the year. The last few months of December were already correction months. I don't think we will be having more corrections, at least not in the entry of 2022.

Hoping that it will be the same as this year and as well as ending of 2020. The time where the bull run has made itself clear with a sign that the entire year is going through bullish. Although there were really some quite heavy corrections that has happened this year too.

I just want to say that we shouldn't be discouraged and disappointed even if we talked about $100k at the end of this year. We could say the same thing by next year which makes us optimistic about it but we can also just be neutral and wait and be dependent to the flow of the market.

Forget about "some month is good/bad for Bitcoin", Bitcoin is not a company that has its revenue tied to seasons, so don't expect any price movements based on the time of the year. We're currently in a very uncertain market, the price failed to rally after making a new ATH that was just a bit higher than the previous one, but it also doesn't want to drop any further. 2022 can bring anything, so today it's better to wait and see where the market goes.

I don't think we've done much since April this year so I doubt we've run out of steam for if we make a decent move upwards at some point again.

If the move comes in, I can't decide whether it'll be quite quick or if it'll take quite a while and be a bit slower (I could imagine a few moves that ser new aths though at this point).

We had been speculating so many things for the end of December as some said bitcoin will skyrocket and few said December had not been a positive month in the past. But to my surprise we have neither seen any major pump or dump in a while and we are almost at the end of December. What's your take on 2022? Will it be as profitable as 2021 or else we will witness correction phase?
