Topic: What to expect this bull run? (Read 709 times)

Did not expect Bitcoin to pump this fast reaching $65k this morning.

My portfolio has gone from even money in November to now +125%.

Are we expecting a significant correction soon or is the momentum here now and we keep pumping past the halving next month?

Yes Bitcoin price reached its peak in 2021 but it went down again shortly after. A while back in 2024, I saw the price of Bitcoin reach $65,000. By which I think Bitcoin will break all its past records and cross $1000 this time. The way Bitcoin's price has been increasing in just a few days suggests that the bull market is in good shape. For those who invested and held on to Bitcoin a few months ago, this is a matter of great joy. It will be possible to earn huge profits through this.

As long as you believe in the annual cycle, market conditions in 2023 will still be normal. Only now did things change after having difficulty moving. Plans can be made now even though Bitcoin is trading at a higher price than in 2023.

Why do I say that planning can be done now, because the predicted halving has not yet happened. Like market experience, after the halving there will be an increase in line with holder expectations.
It is very important that price predictions are not exact and will always be wrong.

Selling Bitcoin assets when they go up can be done as long as you can get a profit. If you haven't seen the profit or are still making a loss, you should not sell it and still wait for it.
That's what investors usually do and they always wait for the price to increase very high before they sell and usually they have a target selling price.
By having a lot of bitcoin, he can sell it little by little to take advantage of it until later when the price increases very high. Then he sells more to get an even bigger profit. These bitcoin investors have been collecting a lot of bitcoins for a long time and holding them until the price increases very high before they sell them.
For novice investors, they must be able to collect bitcoins using the DCA method.

So did you take profit already? I hope you didn't sell all your Bitcoins because you might regret your decision later if you have done that because the halving event is yet to occur and the market generally enters the bull run after the halving event which means that $60 is just a part of the recovery process and the max price will be much higher than it based on what history tells us.

I don't guarantee anything, but that is at least what we understand based on what we have seen in the past, so we expect a way higher price this time around because the price of Bitcoin reached $69k in the last bull run, and we have already touched $64k even before the halving event, so there must be some surprise to be unfolded very soon.

It is not a bad idea, but i will support selling some of your assets. The bitcoin upward movement won't stop now; it is going further to hit an ATH. If the investor has invested a lot in bitcoin and wants some funds, he can sell some of his investment; at least some fraction of it will give him lots of dollars unless he hasn't invested much. Then, for a beginner or pleb who does not have much bitcoin, selling your bitcoin will be a bad idea because if you sell it, your bitcoin will decrease and it will take you longer to achieve your goal.

$100k last bull run was a long shot, some people are anticipating it might probably stop around $70k or $80k, but it does stopped at $69k as people were dumping everything they can to maximize the profit. Well, that was huge though, so we can't really blame them.
I think right now bitcoin has already been surpassing the majority's expectation, because a lot of expectations were like bitcoin might probably be around $50k while we're closing the gap until the next halving, but here we are looking at a $61k. It's actually coming off from almost a $64k high  pump then it came down to $61k. Now, bitcoin could still have another pump anytime soon before the actual halving that could potentially break the most recent ATH. That's something a lot of people were not expecting, because it has always been the post halving that had given us a nice bullrun and ATH.

If Altcoins are discussed, I really support your opinion because their ability to survive is predominantly weak, if there is a decline and correction in BTC, but for Hodl BTC, in my opinion, it is better to hold on for some more time because the price of BTC has not yet increased to its maximum.

Personally, I would wait until mid-April and if there is a negative sentiment issue in the market, take a break and come back when the price is suitable to buy. Yes. In the end, the ultimate goal of investing is not a loss but a necessary profit.

Selling of your asset after achieving target is not a bad idea but in case of bitcoin we should not sell bitcoin at a price of 62k$ because we know that we will see new ATH when the halving take place.

If someone have hold altcoins then taking profit after achieving target is better than waiting more for more pump. It will also be better if some part of bitcoin we sell and some are still remaining with us for future price pump so in such case if price does not exceed further then we will have achieved our profit and we will not be in loss.

Currently, there are indeed many traders who are making profits through the increase in the price of Bitcoin which has exceeded $60K, but this is also the case for investors, although many investors may still not have sold it and are still holding on to it until the halving occurs in Bitcoin this year. When looking at the price increase that has occurred like now, I think a new ATH will soon be created on Bitcoin within the next month if the increase continues as has been seen so far.

Bitcoin has indeed been proven to be good for holding and has also been proven to be able to pass the price of $60K in just a short time so there is quite a reason for investors to keep holding it and not sell at this time. Because they can still get more profits in conditions like now and it is possible to see a new ATH in the next month.

I don't seems to understand what you mean that bitcoin reaches all time high time twice in 2021, do you mean after the all time high, bitcoin go dip and was able to gain back the ATH as at where it was the previous time before the bear set in, if not, we can only have a single all time high and that is when the market marks the highest of it price performance ever and from there, we take that as the all time high until a new one is set.


Why will highly intensive volatility be very difficult to achieve this coming halving, if we must have a Bullrun, then expect the market to be more of high volatility than before.

okay we were as low as 16k in nov 2022.

we are now 62k.


it all depends on when you got in and your prices paid.

if you did only a 1btc buy the dip and hodl when it was 16k

you should sell ¼ to ⅓ the coin giving you 16.5 to 21k cash. and leaving you .67 to .75 btc.

You could then ladder up selling

 .02 at 69.6k
.02 at 74.3k
.02 at 79.2k
.02 at 84.1k
.02 at 89.05k
.02 at 93.93k
.02 at 98.9k
.02 at 102.2k
.02 at 107.1k
.02 at 112.2k

you then have about .47 to .55 coins
and 33 to 38k
and only spent 16 k to get in.

the patterns vary depending on your age and your cost basis.
 younger  means hodl more and longer.

older like me means cash out a little more.

but if your cost for your coins is under 20k you should slice a bit off the top.

All that we have just seen is nothing than a short time experience in the market sentiment to make us have the feelings on what the Bullrun is going to be like when its time after the halving, we shouldn't forget to prepare well enough and watch closely how the market continue to perform so that we don't end up having below expectations, more are still coming about the Bullrun after the halving as we are more open minded to get the right positionings for it, if we can afford it, then we can hodl as enough as we can right now before the time comes.

When we have achieved the investment target that we have set, we can enjoy some of the profits that we have obtained from that investment and if we can be sure that the price will be able to increase again beyond the target that we have set, then we can hold back until the target is achieved and for now we can see the price of Bitcoin has exceeded $60k and most people will of course continue to hold it for even higher prices

I have achieved what I have been expecting from this bull run that occur because, my major target in this bull run that happened in the month of february before I will release my BTC was $60k and, I was so lucky this afternoon when the price hit the market with $60k for many hodlers to use the opportunity to earn money from their investment.

 I guess, many people are still hodling their BTC because they believe that the price will still go higher above $60k before they can sell which it can be possible because BTC price is unpredictable.

Here on cryptospace on which there's no such thing about being that impossible on which things could really be able to happen and everything would really be just that depending on the demand and recognition
and with some other external factors on which we do know that it could bring out that huge effect when it comes to it price movement or simply with its value. Those numbers could really be easily thrown off by someone
and every speculations that we do have into this market is simply not really just that be able to avoid it out. There would really be those people who would really be having those unrealistic numbers
but since this is a speculative market then it cant really be that avoided that there would really be those people who would be making those numbers too high.

It doesn't sound impossible to me because I have done my research and Bitcoin has always outperform many people expectations during the bull market, it was the last bull market that didn't go as expected because many people said Bitcoin was going to reach $100,000 but it stopped at $69,000 before it started falling. When people don't expect Bitcoin to do very well it always over perform but when they think Bitcoin will do well it doesn't get to their expectations. What I'm expecting for the buol run is for Bitcoin to do well that altcoins gets their own rally, altcoins are waiting for Bitcoin to show a good bull run signs as investors will start investing in altcoins and this will make them to begin to get attentions. Altcoins also didn't get much bull run last bull market as we didn't have an altcoin season.

The 2021 halving is unique, as you said Bitcoin reaches ATH twice in a year. For me, a significant price drop during a halving like 2021 is normal because the nature of the Bitcoin price is fluctuating or very unstable. but I also believe that this normal event will be difficult to happen in the next bullish years.

Selling some is the best way if you still want to keep Bitcoin with a predetermined amount to target a price that we didn't expect beforehand. There is a time to take some of the profits because our main goal in investing is to make a profit, not just to hold back as much as possible. But yes, for those who are lucky enough to hold out for an undetermined period of time, it will be an opportunity when the price of bitcoin reaches a price that we have not experienced before, maybe above $100k or it could be more than that.

Even if the most awaited bull run comes, I always think it’s always necessary to never stop hodling and continue doing DCA. There’s always next bull run that will come in the market, at least the earlier we can prepare for it, the bigger profits we will reap. However, hodling does not mean you’re not going to sell at some point. Bull run is the perfect time to sell, so take time to sell but never sell everything. Sell when everyone in the market is taking and enjoying their profits, but always leave even a small portion of btc in your portfolio so you can still expect future profits coming for you.

Yes unfortunately the subsequent dump is usually not avoidable, because it's a common and natural process in economy and finance called a correction. It's generally triggered by profit takings from investors. But when the asset is volatile and speculative without strong economic fundamentals, the dip can be very deep, especially if many leverage long positions have been placed. It's called a long squeeze.

Last bull run bitcoin price was $69k. I think now we are in real bull run. After long time we are entire bull session. I think after bitcoin sport ETF approval gradually we are entire bull session. Now bitcoin and total cryptocurrency market looking good. It is sign of bull session.

Last bull session was in 2021 and after 3 years sameb position we are seeing. Now bitcoin price is near about $52k and it is gradually increasing. I think after bitcoin halving it’s price will touch new ATH. And it will hit NEW ATH and will touch minimum $100k i strongly believe it.

Predicting 100% right is not something we can do, however we could just speculate, which is what we all do here anyway. Doesn't mean that we are going to be right, it just means that if we want to invest then we need to try to guess what will happen. This usually means that we are going to try to see if we could see it go up or down.

I believe that the future looks bright, and the price will go up even more, I know that it has risen a lot already but I also think that it will rise even more. This is why we should try to invest into it as much as we possibly could. I believe that the best thing to do in this situation would be just making sure that we are investing at the right time, so that we do not lose our money, don't get in at peak, get in now.

The most realistic hope is for a significant increase over the next 18 months or more. Everyone who keeps Bitcoin certainly wants something that can provide more value than expected, but who can predict what will happen in the future. The plan you draw up must be adjusted to the situation that occurs in the market, you can hold the asset longer if the price continues to increase, but if a correction occurs, selling it makes more sense than losing what you should get.

The mid-bull run crash in 2021 was not normal. But also we've only got a few data point to go off of, so we can't truly say what is normal. But that mid-bull run crash basically happened because two things happened around the same time.

1. Elon Musk said they would no longer accept Bitcoin payments for Tesla cars (a complete non-event, but millions of crypto people were hanging on Musk's every word that year so him saying anything about Bitcoin had a huge effect on price)
2. China announced their total ban on bitcoin mining and bitcoin trading

Those two things brought about that 50% drop.


It is normal to get 20%-40%+ corrections that last a few weeks during a bull market. But that 50%+ drop was more serious and longer than normal corrections. Again, it was because of the two events mentioned above. It was serious enough that many people were claiming the bull market had already ended at that point, even though it was only mid-year of the bull run year. I wouldn't expect that sort of drop again unless there is some major event that spooks the market.


Things to look for this bull run:

1. The time schedule may very well be sped up compared to normal. The ETFs have brought a whole new market into Bitcoin - TradFi investors. They are dumping many billions of dollars into Bitcoin and it is pushing the price already up to a level we normally wouldn't expect until months after the halving. I expect we may very well enter the main part of the bull run (passing the old all time high of $69k) by this summer, rather than towards the end of the year or next year. This could also mean the bull market will end during the first half of next year rather than go to the end of next year.

2. Since we have access to the flows in the ETF market, watch those flows during the bull market. We don't know how those investors will react. TradFi isn't used to the sort of gains bitcoiners see. They may sell very early in the bull market because they simply can't believe an investment of theirs can go up so quickly. Then again, if they actually understand what they got into with Bitcoin, they may act like everyone else and keep FOMOing into the market as it rises to a peak. But watching the daily net flow of the ETF market will tell the story once we get full on into the bull run.

3. I'd say a good guess at the top of the bull run is $150k. Maybe it'll be a small bull run and peak at like $120k. Or maybe thanks to ETFs opening up a whole new market for Bitcoin perhaps it goes to like $180k or higher. Impossible to know, and we'll only know after the fact. If you are planning to sell during the bull run I'd guess the best strategy is to sell a little bit at a time, starting at $120k, and just sell a little like once a week or something from that point onward, to make sure you don't miss the top entirely. Just as its better to DCA the bottom rather than trying to guess and possibly missing the bottom entirely, it's better to DCA-sell the top if you are selling during the bull run, rather that risk missing the top entirely.

4. Expect plenty of volatility. Any time you are thinking "wow its shooting up there's no way we'll go back down to the price it was last week", be assured it probably will correct back down there before proceeding higher. But also don't freak out on big corrections. Lots of people sell early in bull markets on the first big correction they see, especially if its their first bull market. I got one of my brother's to buy half a bitcoin in 2017 at like $2500, but he freaked out the first correction he saw when the price went from like $4800 down to $3000. Also our cousin who is a banker told him Bitcoin was going to end in a bad way and he needed to get out (years later that banker cousin actually trades Bitcoin lol, even bankers can eventually learn!). But point is he sold with like $1000 gain on a correction, when just a few months later the price peaked at like 6x the price he sold at. So don't fear corrections, but also try to have a sense of when the bull market might be ending so you know the difference between a correction and the start of the bear market. Not that that is an easy thing to know haha.

5. IF there is a big crash during the bull market like in 2021, you should reset your expectations. Most people expected Bitcoin to pass $100k in 2021, but that mid-run crash took a lot of steam out of the market. It took the rest of the momentum of the bull run just to get back up to the $60,000s and pass the earlier ATH by a few thousand. So if something does cause a major crash during the bull market, expect that the peak will be less than what people expect. Though hopefully that sort of bull run crash was a unique event as it really did cause the bull run to be quite small.

Another day another dime every day we are staying above 50k is solid progress to higher prices rather then the top it could have been.  If we keep this high into the end of the week its very bullish so keep expecting more gains is quite fair.   58k is the target I think reasonable with this current action, I expect that now but not sure of success afterwards.
   The negative we have to escape in volume and time is marked out at the start of this year, that was a higher volume then now but its possible we have traded enough to leave its orbit or gravity.   So the peak price there was 48.8k and if we can maintain above that early high tide mark I believe it counts as support towards larger price objectives.

A new ATH is not what I expect this move.   Just this year would be more bullish then I expect but I could be wrong in my reckoning of the momentum possible that pushes us upwards.    Dollar index has only gained since the start of the year, if we wanted a fairly clear signal as big as an oil tanker for its size and weight then you have it there; markets overall large and small are not in fully speculative fervor mode & its still sideways mostly at best.

Everyone expects the same thing, namely a new ATH and that it can last quite a long time. Waiting for the ATH which may be near, you have to be prepared with the coins you hold. Bitcoin is of course the main one for that and the top altcoins are the support to increase profits. But is it strong enough to continue holding back and doing DCA? that will be a challenge for any investor holding long term

Only noobs that you would really be having those kind of impressions that whenever the market would be having 5-10% increase in a short span of time or simply within hours or minutes then they would usually
freak out and telling that this is already start of the bull run on which if we do really just that talk realistically  then we do know that this is something that has been that a normal movement here on crypto space
or simply that we can call it as an ordinary day and not something could be considered to be bull run already. Put up in mind that we arent still with the halving event on which that event alone would
be the solid indicative sign that we are already near.

Expecting about this bull run? Some rumors been saying that it would be something considered to be the biggest one or something can we called golden bull run.
I dont know on what are those factors that they've seen on why they have called it those kind of terms but lets see on what would be happening.
On investors standpoint then its always been better that you should really be wise on taking up decisions.

What are we also having in preparation towards the bullrun, do we sit and keep up with the talks about the market or we are making moves towards having it the best experience of our life with investment on digital assets, there's nothing to doubt any longer about bitcoin going to the all time high, all we can do is to take the very opportunity of making investment while taking our time to hold patiently, the market is going to be more volatile and profit.az

Currently, some people think that market conditions are in a bullrun because there are continuous price increases in most cryptocurrencies. Especially with Bitcoin, which so far looks quite significant and good enough at increasing its price so that others continue to follow and cause the market to no longer look red. However, for the hope that you said, it seems that it still takes a lot of time for everyone to see it because now Bitcoin is still below $55K.

I hope that later in the bull run the price of Bitcoin can jump even higher than the previous ATH price, at least it can reach above $80k. But anything can happen in the crypto market because prices are very volatile. Therefore, Bull run is approaching and we should not miss the opportunity to reap satisfying profits.

Nothing is impossible but we should at least be realistic into those numbers that we do have in mind. Dont be someone who are making those delusional numbers that others been trying to project about.
It would really be just that bringing out that huge disappointment i should say. Expect the unexpected and this is something that you should really be having on mind since no one really knows on what are  the
numbers that would be ahead. The important thing is that you should be setting out those expectation into minimal level so that if ever the price wont really be able to hit up on the number that you have been
expecting then it wont really be giving out that much that extreme disappointment. Be versatile and be adaptive then you wont really be having no issues with this one.

When bull run do happens then this is something that prices would really be going up to the moon. The only thing that we dont know about on what would
really be its peak into that particular moment. This is why taking profits is something that you should really be trying out to secure on.

Well, nothing is impossible because we have seen the impossible happening in this industry. However, one should always have realistic expectations, expectations that have a higher chance of becoming true, and your predictions, in my opinion, are good for the next cycle because it will be enough even if Bitcoin hits $100k, that should be enough for this cycle and we can happily wait for the next cycle so that this new all-time high record is broken.

The best time for accumulation was when Bitcoin was around $30k, altcoins were on great discounts back then but people were too confused about whether they should buy or not, and then the market started going up and people started accumulating at a higher price, the same is the situation for now.

No one knows whether it will be around 22 months before the price will increase or whether it will come sooner after the halving. We can only start from now on by buying bitcoin and actually, we should have started last year.
However, many of them are still not sure about Bitcoin, so they have put it off in the past and only want to start investing in Bitcoin now. That's okay because they can start any time, but if the price increases, they must be ready because that will make the price even more volatile.
We also saw the price at $31k and now the price is at $47k-$48k. But they still have time to buy more bitcoins.

Well that's good, if you understand if it's true to what you said for the next 18 months, then wait until 18 months and then you sell, you will get the highest price.
If you don't need much then you can save more.

Expect profits, that's the gist of it and other than that expect the unexpected because that's almost always the case, your plan to sell bitcoin at X price and then you sleep and the next thing you know, bitcoin just passed your goal much even higher which would lead you to a path where you either take the profit now or ride it a little longer hoping to get more out of the bitcoin that you've hodl. There's many other things that are unexpected that I can't say right now but one thing that can be useful to know the unexpected things that can happen is just to think of the opposite of what scenarios, events or happenings you're expecting to happen and you're probably good to go on that one.

I think we still have around 22 months before the highest increase occurs.
so now is the right time to start paying in installments and buying.
Currently I am also looking at which projects have the most potential for the next bullrun.
I see in all sectors that are being favored.

Nothing is certain in Halving and up to the bull run .

Most chances that price will drop badly before the spike comes and that is what Halving season comes.

you have good observations mate then just follow your thoughts and follow your instincts  , but always remember that you must only invest the amount you can afford to lose.

It means that the bull run ended at that time already, and we are starting a huge reversal after a huge price increase.
Pretty normal I would say since there is this famous phrase that says "What goes up, goes down eventually." but getting ready for that would be better.

I reviewed the market movement during the halving applying a different pattern, the market almost recovered approaching the ATH before even though before the halving period came, it was a positive sign that the ATH record would soon be reached earlier than the previous movement pattern, I predicted the ATH had a chance of being reached before the halving or around 2 months after the halving, we hope that the $100k price hope can be achieved within this year and we have seen many positive signals that the predicted price will come true soon.

Yes it is quite normal for the drop to that range and in fact, it dropped even below I think around 26k or thereabout in last year before it started galloping up again to this current price of 47k. I think btc has performed more than it did in 2016/17 and 2018. The fact that it retained the 5 digit even at it bear last year and previous year, it shows that the bull this time around will be a memorable one, probably in 6 digits as speculated.

Oh nice, x12 of your invested amount in such a short period of time? That's so lovely and I hope you can share that coin/token with me. I've always said that earning in the crypto world requires our smartness rather than our sentiment, so I support you that it is not always about Bitcoin. Even your plan that you will still invest in Bitcoin is a very smart one and also proves that you know well about Bitcoin and still have plans for it. You will never neglect it at all.

But may I still advise you? Be so careful with this plan in 2026, I do not believe it is the time to still hold any coin/token. I may be wrong but the trading chart will not be wrong at that time, maybe you should use it as your guide then. Cryptocurrency has its bullish and bearish seasons, and if this cycle works as the past history, I am sure that 2025 will end the bullish season of this cycle. Holding our crypto investments beyond that time might amount to either losses or a reduction in our previous gains.

No one can give you any realistic expectations since no one can predict what will happened in the future that can affect the Bitcoin price for a period of 18 months. One thing is for sure that Bitcoin will keep increasing value due to its limited supply and increasing demand but there’s no exact time frame for this.

If you check the price chart history, You will notice that Bitcoin always pump after Bitcoin halving but again there’s no guarantee that it will happened again for a period of 18 months since the situation now is different to all previous halving. There’s a high chance that it will be print the same pattern but there no guarantee on it. We are just relying here on a self fulfilling prophecy on trading to make it happen again.

This question is like a spoiler but it seems you don't mind it? Okay, in a bull run, basically the price of cryptos are rallying. It's the period when we are selling are coins for a nice profit. So before it happens, make sure you already stock a lot of good cryptos. Okay? Good Luck!

On your other question, yes, a crash after a bull run is only normal and it is called a correction. We can also say that the bull run is over and then the bear season is now taking its place. If you have a plan for selling, you must also have a plan for buying and you should do that once the correction and bear season are happening. You still can do it now, since we aren't still in the bull.

 It will be a  good thing to expect something special from the next bull run that is approaching the market because, some thing just happened yesterday that make the price of BTC moved up to $47k which is the highest price we have experienced in the cryptocurrency market this year and, if you can continue hodling till the real bull run occur you will not miss it.

If you are among the investors targeting $100k this year before you can sell, I guess it will not happen in this season but it will surely occur before the end of next year 2025 which is the season many long term hodlers are waiting to see the price of their choice.

Don't expect anything, because by doing so you will most likely make yourself miss out on good opportunities. Think about it, how many people predicted in the last cycle that $69k will be the top or that this top will get revisited later? Pretty much nobody predicted that and everyone was hyping $100k and $200k. Same thing happens again - people repeat predictions from Plan B, Michael Saylor and other gurus, even though they were never accurate in the past.

If you want to actually make money, you should forget about timing the market perfectly and just buy during bear market and sell during bull market. This is easier said than done for newbie investors, because they are too fearful to buy during bear market and too greedy to sell during bull market and end up with no realized profits in the end.

You can plan everything well - but are you sure you don't want to take advantage of the next bull market by having bitcoin in your portfolio?

It's up to you what your plans are now - but you may regret your current decision especially if you completely ignore bitcoin as a long-term investment. Secure the profits from your altcoin now and invest them in bitcoin - this is a wise choice rather than just holding onto your altcoin. You can have both in your portfolio – of course it is part of diversification to minimize risk.

It doesnt make sense to wonder what will happen during the 18months after the bull run since nobody knows when the current bull run will stop. OP was actually asking what will happen during the 18 next months while we are currently into a bull run.

The next 18 months after bull run will definitely be uncertain so don’t overthink about that but focus on what is current and what you can do to prepare yourself and your bitcoin portfolio when bull run comes. Learn not to expect too much about the upcoming bull run because we are still unsure what will be the price movement that time and how far bitcoin price can go when the real bull run hits the market. Be positive but don’t set your expectations too high.

Honestly, when we are not entirely sure what's going to happen, it's usually not something that would make sense, so we should be careful about what we are doing and not really go overboard with it. I get that sometimes we could get lucky, but just because we got lucky once doesn't mean that we are going to get lucky all the time, so we should be careful about what we do and that's the most important part.

I understand that life is not easy and it takes a while for people to get there, but as long as we are careful, we should be fine. I believe that the best we could do would be just focusing on how to make money where everyone else does and not just throw our rod in the ocean and hope for the best. It would be risky to be not careful in this market.

Everything here into this market could really be that possible and this is why on the time that you do set your foot into this space then you should really be that make yourself wary about those probabilities on which we know that this is something which is really that very normal. We do know that this isnt something that you could really be able to assure on whats on the future specially if we do speak about future prices.
There's no way that we could be able to tell on whats ahead. So it would be best to have that kind of approach on things on which you should really be that versatile on whatever things you would really be
able to encounter and making adjustments would be the key.

Expect the unexpected always and as talking about bull run then this upcoming one would be not different that on the previous ones. Breaking ATHs?
Crashes? Market corrections and consolidations? These things are just that normal but it would be always best that you do know
on what you are doing and at least having the idea on what are the things that you should act on since not everyone would really be able to be successful on this one.

So you would sell bitcoin or altcoins because I see some people saying you speculate on altcoins.

Maybe you mean the increase in bitcoin price will have an impact on bitcoin?
We know that it is indeed likely to happen simultaneously between bitcoin and altcoin but there is never an equation on the altcoin because bitcoin still stands with its own increase while altcoin only relies on hype then the coin will explode normally.

The cycle will happen on that period and even longer. So, expect what you have been expecting and what's being told to you but be open with any opposite actuality that might come on that period.

Yes, normally after the bull run it's always have been followed by the bear market and you've seen that crash. I've seen that you've been making threads and worried of what to do on the upcoming bull run. Just let it come and prepare all of your holdings especially with BTC.

Sell when you're in profit and remove the regret upon doing so. Do it psychologically because you might experience selling now and then after a few minutes or hours, the market pumps and you'd regret selling it. Forget that and accept every decision when you sell.

If you are off Altcoins boards then everything is definitely about Bitcoin.


You have unrealized profit at the moment because you haven't sold anything yet, right? In two weeks you may not have x12, but only x6, and in a month maybe only x3. Long-term investing in alts can backfire, because most of them are pump&dump schemes.


If you claim that you are not satisfied with the possible profits in this coming bull run, I wonder how you will be satisfied in the one that will come only there in 2029/30, and after each halving the growth of the max price is less and less. However, if that is your plan, stick to it - everyone has the right to invest in what they want and in what way they want.

I don’t actually expect a lot. What is bound to happen will eventually happen. So if there will be new all time high that might be too far from our previous ATH, then that could be an advantage for us. But if it’s not, then we should just accept it and go with the flow. Bitcoin is still an uncertain investment due to its high volatility, and we can’t always expect that history may repeat itself again and make us all profitable. So don’t set too much expectations, otherwise you will only become upset and regret of your decision.

However, as long as you keep on DCAing and take advantage when there is a price decline, it’s clear that you will gain massive profits when bull run comes. If not, then just prepare for the next bull run. The most important thing here is you don’t sell at a loss, regardless of how small or big your profits is.

In that case, your post is off-topic here. The Bitcoin Forum, as you might guess, is primarily for Bitcoin discussions. If you'd like to discuss altcoins speculations, you'll find dedicated boards for them here: Speculation (Altcoins)

I don't want to expect too much from this bull run, so I don't commit the same mistake of the previous one, when I kept waiting prices to continue rising, although they started falling and I didn't have a good opportunity to sell my coins and make profit anymore. So, this time I'm expecting Bitcoin to reach near the 100,000$ mark. For me, that is a good price range to start getting some profits and finally enjoying the money, as it makes no sense to hold money forever, watching your days go by, without using anything in the end for your own good.

Anyway, keep in mind that each new bullish cycle, Bitcoin decreases the intensity it grows. We aren't going to see huge price increasements anymore, so we have to be very realistic and reasonable about what to expect from the near future. What I advise is that investors sell part of their investments once BTC's price hit the value they were looking for, but never selling their entire investment. As this market is unpredictable, it may be interesting to always hold a portion of Bitcoin thinking on long term.

I like that you have said this because many had their expectations high with the bitcoin spot ETFs and bitcoin price only to end up disappointed. Bull run is in the Q4 of 2024 and we hope to fully experience the pre-bull run. Meanwhile, while I am keeping my expectations low, I am sticking to the not investing money that I know that I cannot afford to lose through DCA. If you expect the bull now to happen now, you may be disappointed if it happens tomorrow and you are noy prepared.

Yes it is good that the altcoin you chose has a big gain for two weeks but here it seems that you expected a bitcoin increase but did not have it and maybe your expectation was that bitcoin would rise altcoins would rise, but for me not all altcoins will rise at the same time.

Not necessarily bitcoin in 2026 will be bearish although you must have seen from previous history after bullish comes bearish, but remember when bearish comes I predict the price of bitcoin will not be as low as before but you will still buy bitcoin at a high price.

Chill out not everything is about Bitcoin!

Yes Bitcoin has had a great 7 days, but a couple of my altcoins have had much better month, one of them giving me over a 12x in 2 weeks.

I plan to be in altcoins this bull run, and then once I have made my profits then put a lot of it into Bitcoin in the next bear market in 2026.

Considering that you have stated several times that you only invested in altcoins, the only thing you can hope for is that the Bitcoin bull run will have an impact on altcoins. If you look at the top 20 coins, none of them have grown more than Bitcoin in the last 7 days, but if you are greedy and want x100 profit, then you have no choice but to gamble with projects that have no purpose or sense.

I expect that the Bitcoin price will reach a new ATH in the next two years, and whether it will be x2 or x5 compared to the last ATH is nothing but something we can only speculate about. Your problem is that through all this time on the forum and all the answers you've received, you haven't really learned much - I suggest you start reading your post history from the beginning.

There the market will be tested, and maybe bad things will happen that affect the price of bitcoin to experience a correction, in the sane thinking that some people who have collected bitcoin will also sell their bitcoin first to make a profit, the usual cycle will repeat and after the pump will experience a correction and go back up again.

Whatever the indicator someday it will definitely happen, whether because of genesis, or Mt.gox or there is a big case that makes the price of bitcoin plummet so that a price drop in bitcoin will occur which technically and market mechanisms are commonplace.

If you don't want to sell too much or too quickly in the current conditions, you still have the opportunity to hold your own Bitcoin for a longer time. Because what is seen now is likely to be much better than a one-time increase that moves straight up, so I think an increase that occurs slowly and slowly like now will have more power in the long term than an increase that moves straight up at a percentage level. much larger correction. Apart from that, I also consider it to be a very normal thing so that everyone can develop their own strategy in terms of selling or holding it for a certain period of time.

What I'm expecting from the upcoming bull run is excitement, even though I know it's very unpredictable. Sometimes, you get confused about whether you want to stick to the goal and plan, or just go with the flow of the decision. If you base it on historical data, it does tend to rise significantly when the next halving is approaching, but its subsequent decline is not uncommon. However, it doesn't mean that what happened before will happen again now. The crash is just normal because of its volatility, and many factors can contribute to it, such as correction, taking profits, and others.

Some would argue its not fully bullish while we are just recovering the prior prices lost in 2022 and that ATH.   Its a good recovery, bullish relative to the lows we saw but still some people are sellers having held BTC and seen no gains as it fell then recovered.     Its all about momentum to me, so long as that stays intact then be optimistic overall even during a pullback so watch 200 day average mostly.

If you don't want to regret it, at the current price increase, please sell even if you don't intend to sell everything.
This is not advice that you need to listen to, but you should know that there are still friends out there who have the same plans as you when the price increase is taking place.

Btcoin price history can be searched in the search space as to which actions can bring profits and which result in disappointment.
If it is true that the halving occurs in a few months, refrain from selling it now or when the price spike occurs because then there will be a large amount of profit to be made.

Yes, You're right. I have high expectations of seeing bitcoin at >100k$, It won't come soon. I think there will be an ATH this year after bitcoin halving, maybe later this year, $78k before we see $100k. What I want to see is what consolidation there will be in institutional ETFs and what kind of breakout/reaction it creates when bitcoin is at $100k
Maybe, I think there will be more great things to happen. When it arrives and syncs with the bitcoin ETF. that is the bitcoin breakthrough that will be created. Regardless of whether what is going to happen is positive or objective, before the halving happens, there will be an adjustment... I wait to see where that adjustment will be

We all have long-term plans for the future of Bitcoin, everyone knows the halving will happen in the future, there is a lot of speculation that we are seeing at the moment, From the experience that has occurred, hopes and plans to sell are certainly in the minds of every Bitcoin user and investor, we all hope for the best for ourselves.

I think the problem of falling Bitcoin prices is a normal thing, we will see the future process of Bitcoin development, of course this will show something that is best for us, I am sure and believe in the existing speculation, where we will see where everything will come true, the point is: don't be rash in acting, wait for the time when we find a good price to consider.

Don’t keep any high expectations. Just accept it how is it. You should keep slow target for the bull run. In the bull run we see always bitcoins go up 3 times the price. We might also see new ATH price from the coin. Last time, the price was around 60k usd. This time many are speculating that the price will go up very high and will touch 100k atleast. Let’s hope for the best and see where bitcoin stops in the bull run.

I love how people expectation and predictions change each day depending on what they want to force themselves to think!

One week ago we had a topic about :
Bitcoin has never pass ATH before halving but it has always dip don't panic.

Now suddenly we forgot this rule and we're having a bull run instead of a dip and everyone forgets that we're breaking the rules here and the cycles 
Can't wait for all those that were screaming how ETF are bad for the markets and that the whales are lowering the price to start praising Blackrock once again.

The halving is not what is coming in the next 18 months neither the bullrun, we are to however set our mind toward the investment we are making between now and next month till the day the that halving will begin by April if am not mistaking.


that was the current all time high we have till date which is 69k dollars, we are looking forward to seeing more of this after this coming halving when the market shall rise up to its all time high again and this time, above 100k usd

Elon Musk manipulative tweet that Tesla is no longer supporting bitcoin for paying first crashed bitcoin price. Later the Chinese crackdown on bitcoin mining later crashed the price to less than $30000 before increasing to all-time-high. Something like this can also happen in the next bullrun, there are some negative news that can significantly crash bitcoin price in some minutes to hours. But the later long-term outcome is still all-time-high and bullrun.

Nothing is bad in asking questions, and personally, I know that you seek more understanding, which is normal and I believe is the best, but be wise to refine the answers you get so that they will not contradict or cause you to make mistakes. Left to me alone, Bitcoin will buy, and for it to have bottomed around $38,500 means that it will probably not move lower than that level this year again. You can take my word for it.

Also, be careful of using the past behaviour of Bitcoin to totally indicate what it would do in the future, such can't be tallying forever, you need a better guiding means. And as you have narrated in the past though, it shows that there are bullish and bearish seasons, so enjoy it on the buying side when it is in its bullish season, just like what we experience now. But liquidate your asset when the bearish season comes into play.

This is what I call a smart move. Then repeat the process again in the future. Good luck!

An exciting attraction jumping between the delight of the increase in the cost of bitcoin and the disappointment of the fall. It will be another roller coaster with its ups and downs. That's just the way this cryptomarket is.

And this bullrun will most likely not be linear. There will definitely be temporary setbacks.

I would say it's normal during a bull run for something to happen.

Your sales plan must contain the bitcoin price at which you will sell. There is no need to set temporary milestones, but rather price ones. And it’s even better to do it in several stages. Sell part when the N1-price is reached, part at the N2-price, and the remainder at the N3 price.

It is expected that you have a price target in which if bitcoin reaches that price, you can sell those fraction of coins that you intend to sell. If you want to wait for the top price of bitcoin which is unpredictable, you might miss out, because we are expecting to see bitcoin hits a new ATH. Some investors will be carried away by anxiety, and they will not sell because of greed, they will be waiting for more higher price, and before they know it, the bear market will play out, and they panic and sell in loss.

If you are not here to hodl then don't expect a lot more to come from bitcoin since it will be risky in your side if you are hoping for more huge profit to get. And since this is your first bull run participation then I guess you should invest first the amount that you can afford to lose then try to feel the sentiment of people about where we are possible headings since maybe for that you can get an idea if there's more to come or you should start selling your coins then take your profit.

But you ask certain opinion regarding on the accurate price that bitcoin could possibly reach then I guess no one can give you the exact prediction since so far no people which is good in trading can exactly determine the accurate price to come when this event will happen. So then I guess the only thing you could do is to prepare for the pump also with the incoming dump since this is normally happen on this coin.

2023 belong to 2020 - 2024 market cycle and 2023 till Q1 2024 is warm up time for a big bull run in 2024 after halving in April.

After a Bitcoin halving, Bitcoin usually has one year and a half for bull run, the rest time of 4 year cycle is for bear market and rally, warm up before another bull run in 2028.

I believe in 2024 and 2025 bull run, people will expect too much on impacts of Bitcoin Spot ETFs but I am realistic and don't believe Bitcoin Spot ETFs will make new history for Bitcoin such as breaking its 4-year cycle.

There's no way to predict the top and bottom in the upcoming bull run, you can't assume next 18 months it's the highest Bitcoin's price and 4 months later it's the bottom. No one know when it will happen, although we always know Bitcoin will achieve new milestones after a year of halving event, there's a chance if the top price will be achieved in this year or next 2 years.

If we follow the standards, there will be 3 years of rising prices, we have already passed 1.. 2023... so we still have 2 years to take advantage of the price appreciation. I'm going to think about selling some when I get to the $100,000 region.

Enjoy the bull run, don't leave before the party ends

First bull run coming up for me and I am just wondering what we should all realistically be expecting over the next 18 months or so?

Looking at the last bull run, Bitcoin hit $61k in March 2021 then crashed back down to $31k 4 months later and then hit all time high in November 2021.

Is the crash down to $31k normal during a bull run or did something happen?

I am just trying to put my plan together when it comes to selling and don't want to sell too much too soon.
