Topic: What's next? (Read 640 times)

Actually we are facing some real kind of dump which was never expected by majority of investors, that's exactly the strategy of whales move the market at the unexpected time price break $7K level in the last 48 hours which made altcoins to be in bleed as well.So what's next, there won't be any real quick bump it may take for a while to price recover.

The whales are still manipulating the market and you are playing right into their hands, if everyone is aware that the bitcoin halving could increase the price of bitcoin and everyone is holding their coins in order to obtain great profits the only thing the whales have to do is to wait and let the market continue as if nothing has happened, people will get desperate for the lack of results and then they will sell their coins to the whales for a cheap price and then they will pump the market.

Next next is the challenge to 50 day average now we are underside to it, the usual modus operandi would be to confirm any move through notable measures or trends.   So weekend prices can differ slightly from week day prices.   I think we must look to 50 day average and though its really an indicator, I want to see if it stays below this or we see some strength.
   Very short term is the 2 day average which I show here:



We break above the blue line and yellow line is the weekly average roughly, so thats the target next along with 50DMA as said.

Back in the days,whales played on the naivety of crypto noobs to manipulate the market but currently we have several crypto blog outlets that get people informed with the latest information in the crypto industry. Right now, almost everybody is aware that bitcoin halving is likely to be followed by strong bulls hence nobody want to sell cheap and miss out on this rise of bitcoin when it sets in.
I have planned to save half a thousand dollars in BTC waiting just this halving.

look like bitcoin price will drop again before its reversal and recovery. I am agree that if bitcoin price drop,more investors will come with fresh money. This is needed for crypto market recovery.and halving now be main issue before its really happen next year. But before that happen ,whales try to accumulate their btc amount and always try to spread fud kr whatever that will make graders panic.

There is so much risk for whales these days since people are already expecting its bullrun due to halving. If that is the case then they are set to disappoint those who are buying because the whales are always going top prefer to buy cheap BTC than how it had last 2017. Prices I guess are going to be dragged to the bottom for more people to come into crypto space.

That's not much of a crash at all, more like a a mild correction. What can be considered a crash was how we in 2017 fell from $5k to $3k, which made people worried and speculate about going back to $1k again.

It's impossible to say beforehand. It's always in hindsight that dips either turn out to be great entry points or horrible entry points. The risk is for you to take and accept. I rather just dollar cost average and buy the market down if needed.

If you buy a lot at once you'll feel horrible when the dip you bought into turns out to be the wrong one, especially during a multi year bear market where we can have multiple dips.

Even if theres no FUD or bad news price would always have that tendency to dump without even expecting it.It happens for how many times where
price do suddenly plummets which would leave out some questions in mind on how the heck is happening on here.Theres no news or whatsoever but the
price is either pumping or dumping in sharp percentage and this is one of the characteristics of this very volatile world of crypto.

The market finds itself in a difficult situation, there is not enough new investors to push the price of bitcoin up but there are not enough sellers to make the price to go down, while the situation seems to be in perfect balance the bears have an advantage in this market, they only need to wait and try to endure any attempts by the bulls to make the price to go up, eventually some of those bulls will switch their positions and a decrease in the price will be possible at that point.

I don't think there will be another large dump in the near future. Because halving is just a few more months. Bitcoin won't go to $ 7,000. Even if he gets there, surely the price will rise again very quickly. It is likely that the price will last at $ 7,500 - $ 8,000. This is the lowest price that I can reach in the event of a decline

When there is a dump that's the right moment to buy, so it's only natural that there are some people who expect prices in a dump.
But to be honest the bitcoin market is very difficult to identify where the next price will go, because sometimes the news also influences sometimes it doesn't.
We can only wait until the halving time comes, because usually the price will really show where it goes afterwards.

People should not expect a dump, if they keep on expecting and it did not come, then you lose a chance to buy at the price that he want or worth buying, at this point time, people should buy when they have the opportunity, when they have funds that they can invest, we never know if there is dump or no dump that is going to happen.

As long as there is no FUD or other bad news ... the price will be stable I guess. but it is undeniable that there must be corrections given that not all traders buy at the low price. And many of them sold Bitcoin as well and may want to buy back while waiting for the right moment when correction. but the Halving news is quite strong to make good volume till now.

There will be some little dump due to market volatility. But we can't predict upto what amount it can goes. But as much as we are able to buy at dip and willing to wait those dump will be fine especially we know price will arise too as halving and many factors can  influence to pump it.

I hope there no dump but we really can't tell.

However, I would be okay even if there is a dump as long as the price will bounce back, this is actually good for the market as it only makes the market stronger. The dump and pump has been normal since manipulation happens and we should not be surprise on that.

people are speculating and expecting no dump will happen going to the halving, but we know how the whales work, they usually work opposite on our expectation then pump the market when we started to loss hope.

well, i have little speculation , the dump is not coming yet.
i am sure 100% the dump will happened on beginning on february, btc go to deep , make some fear sentiment to who want buy it before halving, but well , its just my own speculation , and in this cases, we ignore (we assume nothing at all) any sentiment from real life, such as signal from some country who supported and blockchain project(like china recently) .
about this year, probably by end of this month we got a little dump , i guess its seems correction .
as i told before , its just my own speculation ,
"based from what ?" , of course based of none of your businness 

yes i also hope there won't be a dump. because if it happens will make the whale buy a lot and will make the whale even stronger in manipulating the bitcoin market.
cryptocurrency free moves decentralized no one controls. so it is natural that eventually the crypto market can be manipulated by large traders. and maybe the price of bitcoin pumping at the end of October yesterday was also done by the popes.

As time passed by each users here are eager to the value of bitcoin, hoping that will dump and time to buy again in which most of us here are affected to the bearish market. We can't blame those big whales afraid to take a risk since most of them have a huge losses to the point of market getting dump tremendously.

Sometimes I dont know what to believe with a lot of contradicting news. The influence of china was under-rated by some friends of whales and the Chinese also discouraged the purchase of bitcoin after publicly announcing the relax of the regulation on cryptocurrency, while supporting some indigenous coins.

According to the Bitcoin weekly chart, Bitcoin has had it's big ramp. There is confirmed divergence between RSI and price action, with confirmed bearish structure in place on the weekly RSI. Bitcoin has had a momentus run up. an increase of around 400% overall. If you have caught all that, time to take some profits. Bitcoin has a potential hardfork event coming up and looking around other cryptos, those always mean instant losses.

Gold on the otherhand is on the verge of breaking out of a 6 year bear market, having spent the last 2 years scraping along the floor. With the way geo-political events seem to be lining up, this chart seems to make sense. The Chinese and Russian central banks aren't stockpiling Bitcoin, they are stockpiling gold. The Chinese and Russian governments haven't just implemented Bitcoin as a means of settling international trade. They have just implemented gold as a means of doing this job.

Take some of that Bitcoin, and buy some gold and hold onto it. Those gold coins will still be highly valued long after Bitcoin has went down in the history books as the very first failed crypto-currency attempt.

I can't help but to agree with you and looking at the price movement of Bitcoin for couple of days, it seems that we have reached $8,700 resistance which I think is because of the buyers who are waiting for this moment to buy Bitcoin below $9,000 before the up-coming halving since the price is might skyrocket next year and I do not think that Bitcoin will go below $8,000.

right after you posted this in a couple of days market dumped again falling from 9k now sitting again in 8,700$ and now looking to fall further down.

i don't think we can really predict what will happens next because while whales manipulating the market,people been desperate to profit that's why Manipulators always bagging money from inside.

Every cryptos enthusiasts are very hopeful for the dump to materialize at least provide another opportunity to buy and hodl and wait for the much anticipated halving of bitcoin next year however as it is now the price is not showing any sign of bearish sentiment rather a bullish one even the last dump couldn't go beyond the support at $8800 a clear indication that price would continue its northward movement except if there is a sort of manipulation by the whales.

People prediction are there's a pump before the halving, but that does not mean that a dump is not possible, of course anything could happen as this market has always been unpredictable. Whether we like it or not, we need to accept whatever the market situation that time would become, if the market continues to struggle then we have to accept that and just continue waiting for the right time again.

I know everyone has been waiting patiently and we have been waiting for so long but bear in mind that as long as this market is controlled and can be manipulated, no one can easily predict its future.

Isn't it we hit that price around last week of September if I'm not mistaken? The thing is that it didn't sustained and that is the big problem with the price right now. But we all know that prices can be move with hours, just like today, I've seen the price going above $9k after dipping below for the last two days. That's why this market is very hard to predict, very unstable, but hey we can take advantage of every price dip and take our buying positions.

Even in a bear market, buying in a dip is profitable because the market will be rising at times also.    Its just we have to figure out when is the dip near to a bottom and when does the spike come close to reaching the highest price for that week or month.    If I can do that much I know I'm going to be ok whatever the direction because my speculation is allowing me to trade the difference successfully between the lows back to highs even if the 'staircase' up and down moves are gradually bringing us a bit further down.    
   Its a very difficult market to predict when we have the President of the worlds largest country and exporter declaring what appears to be a reversal of previous policy.  I could be easily wrong of course but my feeling on this was to sell into this rise and carefully watch how it reacted to the 200 Day moving average.   Well we have that result now and its passed right back through that indicator, its not for certain but this is the end of the week after and its closing down not above.
    I think its fair to conclude the road for crypto will lead us down a winding path once more before any destination past 10,000.   It could be we dont visit that area again till next year now, xmas can have some effect also possibly with lighter volume not sure (not every country has xmas I know).   But thats the area I watch now to catch the tide, 50 day and 200 day and how will the BTC waves move between them.

I doubt that will happen.
It is almost similar to what had happened last year. The news now is more enormous because of the large amount of people that now knew what crypto currency is.
But with news, it is the same. They also scattered the same thing before. Yeah, there will be no dump. Says who? Us?
But how about the whales? Do they really think the same as we do? I dont think so.
It will still happen, they still knew FOMO is there and it will be easy to manipulate the market.

There’s a lot of factors why bitcoin price did not reach yet to $10k. But it is expected we can see this plunge for bitcoin. Also good thing this is an opportunity to accumulate more btc when these sudden declines happen below 9k. Let’s be on a positive note that possibly this year ends there is a good movement in bitcoin price that could favorably to us who holds btc.

Well, I am not surprised. It is expected to have this dump and we are anticipating a surprising pump also before the year ends. It is still more than a month before 2020, year of bitcoin halving. Still, a good time to accumulate more bitcoin at this phase and price range. It is still on my range of 8500 to 9500 support but it may go lower, hope not.

There will be.
It could be the slightest for every month.
The resistance to go to $10k can be seen now. Why can't we hit that freaking price.

Now, we are at $8800 which had already become a big news although it is just hundreds of dollars away from the last bottom price.  
This will not stop until they see a low price which they think is enough before the halving.

I think what you predicted really happened but I am not so sure if this can the big dump that you can be referring to, or maybe the ongoing dip is just a little correction which is due already. I am still hoping though that this dip can be attracting more business volume in BTC which can push the price back to where it was two days ago. Let's see what can happen then.




Nobody can tell how Bitcoin will behave in 2020 when there is that pervading and massive expectation that there can be a bull run due to the halving. Will we get what we predict what will happen or will we be disappointed big time. Of course, I prefer the former as a small holder myself. Will the whales make big moves that can catapult the coin to a new height never seen before? That would be an exciting thing to wait...for sure!

It seems that more than anything, it's still the whales that would determine a bull run or not. A lot of expectations for 2020 since the past halving did seem to have started a bull run of some sort a few months after. Not sure though if the results would be the same for next year's but it's likely that history will repeat itself in a way. With the number of people looking forward to it and would be willing to put money in Crypto in anticipation.

if I  agree with the opinion bitcoin will dump before dividing in half. if we look at the bitcoin CMC down by 4% the price of bitcoin is now $ 8800. i think this is a sign that bitcoin will dump again. and I predict bitcoin will drop to $ 8,000. because I'm sure the pope will look for ways to make bitcoin cheaper and they can buy more. and later in the future can get a big profit.

Actually at this time price of bitcoin down in just one day so i think  there will be dump before halving time. It will be experiencing that dump anytime but of course it will bounce back again. So better to watch out the market carefully as this market sa volatile that it's hard to speculate the price everyday. Fluctuation is always happening in the market before that halving will happen.

Hardest part is to point out on which price can be considered to be the bottom? It isnt bad though to buy to this low price but im

expecting for it to hover down to 8200-8300 which this would be good spot for you to enter or made a position then go for long back on 9k price.

I didnt expect for this decrease though but its just a matter of small percentage.A typical movement or normal day in crypto.

It is happening right now, bitcoin gradually drops below $8700, as expected, probably still continue to decline.
A good chance to stockpiling bitcoin obviously, before it gets back above $9000.
Buy in every dip.

Actually nobody know or maybe they just speculate if can guess what can happen in market. Because what can market do is follow the stream, i mean both case can possibly happen. But for me, not really agree with that, because if whales are real, they can do anythign to make people panic and then get cheap price. That is what people always means about dump before pump. Because although with same pattern, out there a lot of people still easily panic.

You have some point that's why i don't think they that stupid to sell when the market is dumping. It's like giving your hard earned money to the rich while they don't give a single shit about what you did. We should be wise to choose properly our decision when handling our own investment because one wrong move could be a catastrophe.

Maybe yes but still no one knows they are just taking precautionary measures as if concluding that the market might turn out differently than the expected one. Two halving had happened so, it just feel like abusing the system that the market itself will turn its back on us. Though it is still not so sure, they are just taking precautionary measures.

Are we being reverse physcho here? 
As much as I want to care but I dont. 

They could do all they want and we will all be seeing it with the price.
If it declines then maybe they are selling, but what they have done with the last halving will already be obvious by now.
There are not much idiots by now when it comes to the market of bitcoin.

There are almost 189 days until halving and the price can not always move upwards until this day. The price fluctuation has always been and will be. IMO the increase will not be slow, but BTC will increase in a short time in its own unique way. The increase should start from somewhere, and the continuation should be, then I believe there will be a big bang.

Yes, we need to follow the bitcoin price movements, and right now, bitcoin price gets the dump to the lower price. I hope that it's only for adjustment before the price increase. I hope that we are expecting to buy bitcoin at a low price and now the chance is there but still be careful because no one will know what will happen later. If you want to buy bitcoin, make it for more than one order buy and don't go all in.

We won't know until we get there.
I even expect dump before the halving. May be not a very deep fall, just a slight dump. But as you know, you're free to believe those expert's advises.
What they've predicted ain't always right. That's how prediction works. We'll know evetually.

It will happen on future, everyone celebrate the future days. But Bitcoin is a volatile cryptocurrency so we can accept any situation, Nowadays most of the investors are investing the Bitcoin so further improvement will happen, But anytime big investors are exchange the Bitcoin so we can active in all the time, we don't worry about the future pump and dump.

We can only speculate what can really happen in the marketplace. Bitcoin is such a "beast" that can move in unexpected places where people do not predict it to be. In case there will be no dump or price correction before halving, then so be it that can be advantageous to me. However, since we are all expect a bull run because of the halving, a dip of the price can be a good opportunity for anyone to accumulate more Bitcoin.

Talking about China, I am seeing a possibility of a good and big spike in the volume of Bitcoin buyers from the Chinese people even before the government will be deciding on the question of this cryptocurrency. Chinese are known to be good speculators and more than anyone in the world they can be the first to seize any opportunity, specially with Bitcoin. Soon, China is going to be the biggest force and the most active influencers for Bitcoin. And I am hoping that bodes well for all of us.

I think bitcoin is ready to make a rapid increase in the next few months to be able to touch ATH again.
it's time to prepare a seat belt to go to the top with bitcoin.

I would not call it a dump but lower is certainly on the menu and more so then new ATH I believe that first will occur before any great movement upwards.    My reasoning being that we are not on trend for price movement, so we are not set to on a regular path upwards and its true neither are we determined on a lower course either.    But I'd say like a glider there is some inevitability without a good updraft or trend buying occurring many will not be happy to just stay in Bitcoin and wait and thats the boring story quite possible for the next few months or so.
   If we do find ourselves in a lull then price wise we can go lower, just from weak hands dropping out.   The recent perspective is exciting news from China but words especially in politics have a short amount of energy, actual actions and under lying market moves are really what moves us.    To alot of peoples surprise Bitcoin is stronger then they ever believed but the price can range within quite a wide area and I think we can revisit lower prices not seen within the last few months.
  Its quite ironic I was thinking earlier, in 2017 when China said alot of negatives in 2017 Autumn we do go lower but ultimately it was a step lower only to find a foothold to a much bigger move upwards.  Now China has blessed us with some positivity and we go higher on that, but if anything happens especially in reversal of policy then inertia will be some time and weight to alter longer term price momentum.

Let's hope that a dump before halving won't happen as that will kinda scare the miners and it will give a huge opportunity for whales to feed more on the panic sellers ( including miners ) so I would exclude a big dump from equation. However , we may assists at a mini-dump before halv which will mark the enter of the strong bull market that will occur after so there will be no room for panic sell ( besides the weak who will scream again Bitcoin is dead ) and this will favor the hodlers and those who knows that the end of 2020 will trigger the injection of huge capital into Bitcoin. Besides this 2 things , its hard to predict anything else when it comes to Bitcoin...

If whales won't apply the same pattern as the past halvings, I think what they'll do is verify first the trend pattern and when it starts rising, they'll sell off to make some profit, then depending on how the people and the price reacts, they might buy in again if the prices continues to rise regardless of the dump made. This is the challenge to the market, everything is possible, and also unpredictable.

Nope, probably not a big dump, just a pullback after the bulls run hit some higher peaks, the market will correct bitcoin price. Bitcoin may chill at this point until next month, but there will be 3 scenarios in December, whether the price will rise, drop or hold above $9K, but I don't think it would be a pump, better to have gradual increases to $10K by the end of the year.

Which same pattern the whales are doing you're pertaining to? I do not see such patterns from the past before the halving. I can't recall there was a dump. Instead the btc price keeps on rising while it's approaching fast the halving. You're just overthinking and got bothered by your investment and react to every movement in the market.

Of course. The market is unpredictable, particularly the short term. That's why being a good trader isn't really about predicting market moves but reacting to them. That's where the real money is made.

Predictions are more about ego.

In cryptocurrency trading, hodling or investment. The one popular quote that many of us are familiar with is that 'cryptocurrency is unpredictable'.
This should mean alot . When you think their won't be any dumb, that is when you might experience the massive dumb but when you think otherwise, the opposite will be the case. The year is ending though, the supposed 'whales' might not want to harm their pile ups. We just have to look at the brighter side.

First, theres no such thing about experts advise yet any words came out from others mouth is just also a pure speculation or without any basis but actually having some good points.

Second, its too early for us to say that there would no dump considering that we are still 196 days to go before halving and thats still a lot of time for us to make a conclusion
where dumps can happen in a matter of seconds.

With all of those predictions, we have to realize that no one can really predict this market. Perhaps, they have a close prediction but it wouldn't be like that all of the time. We don't know what lies ahead before halving, it could be 50/50.

There will be other events that can push the prices up but we have the same perspective about halving. I think the majority are into it and thinks positive outcome shall come after that.

Short term: unpredictable. A dip to $8,500-$8,800 is possible. Or we could just keep ranging a while.

Mid term: bullish. I believe the bottom is in and we are now slowly reversing back into a bull market. For the next couple months, I think the market will have a sideways/upwards bias as we range in the $8,500-$12,300 area.

Long term: bullish. I think we'll rise into the halving and afterwards. Chances are there will be a sizeable dip near halving time as people "sell the news" but I don't believe it'll affect the long term trajectory.

Even if they do get aware about of the said speculation, there's no freaking way we could have known what they are planning next this coming 2020. It's just like you are trying to bluff the decisions of a whale by giving them a hint of statistics of what you might be planning to. Nonetheless, only them can make it happen but of course, every decision they make there's always an equivalent of quality reaction for every action.

for me i think prices bitcoin will try to rise above 15000 usd per btc before halving . this is a good chance for buying bitcoin under 10000 usd . in the near future it is difficult for buying at this price. i hope prices rise to another high level better then current price
hold is the better strategy for making price bitcoin up again

We are still half a year until the next bitcoin halving. A lot can happen in that time frame.

I really want that your idea to be true because that would mean a steady price 'til the next halving. But I still believe that there will be dump happening and it will be masked with FUD and confusion. The whales will do all the manipulation necessary to make some panic and for the price to drop.

we are nowhere close to the halving which means we can not really speculate about the micro price movements before halving. and whatever happens these days is far away from halving and is not even taking effects from it. so if we see a drop or a rise it will be for a long list of unrelated reasons such as the adoption that is happening in France these days (which is gigantic positive news by the way).

In my opinion, it is too early to say that there will be no correction that will occur or what so ever, the next Halving will occur on 14 May 2020 there are predictions right and left that it will sure correct itself but in my opinion maybe it is too early to say the prediction will occur in early time lets just wait for some fluctuations to happen, and particularly many are saying that they are waiting for the year 2020 to come because it will be the peak of the next all-time high.

It cannot be predicted.
Yeah, we know they will do it.
But it could also be psychological. Since we already knew they might still continue it.
Why? We are saying it wont happen so our guards are down.
We may not be ready once they do it. I am not really concerned much since whatever happens I am holding coins until the end of the halving.

So experts advising people apparently seems to work. I wondered why they kept peddling their news, but if guys like you actually listen, it finally makes sense to me.

Halving's more than a half year away, your experts must be pretty confident if they think there's no more dump from now till then. I mean, even if they're right in that from here onwards its boom, there's still got to be plenty in the market for pullbacks, bounces, retracements. Not to mention the random "just because it can" drops.

Not a too much dump that will make the holders went wild or to react a lot. There might be some whale who will try to manipulate it to buy more before halving but will not drop that much. I prefer to just keep holding till halving or buy some when it drops even a bit in the next few months before halving. Since market is too volatile we will never know what may happen still in the months before the said event.

Not sure if its going to be big dumps probably just a slight people are selling out of fear. But I think the market is pretty much ready for some pumps. It may however start this last month of the year. And then the news about ETH2.0 will come and all other news that will eventually make this price rocket. FOMO will happen and then they are going to flock in crypto and then we will all again be predicting when the bears are gonna come back.

This why whales will not dump the market anymore because they already know that there’s a big hype before the halving and they should take that as an advantage to play short and small trader should not be afraid but should be more focus. There will be no more dump, its time for us to experience the big pump again.

It's too early to judge that there won't be any dump before the halving because there are still 6 months left.
Bitcoin still manages to hold above $9K, some pullback occurred but can't force bitcoin under the support level for a long period. Frankly speaking, no one knows what will happen in 6 months,  but the chance for bitcoin to drop again is still quite large, at least fall to $8K.

as far as i can remember people have been asking the same question and have been concerned about a drop.
a good thing about going away for a while and coming back is that you always see the rise since bitcoin price in long term is always rising
so just change your strategy to a long term one...

yes we have to prepare for any condition with the market in the future. History could repeat where after the halving in 2016 bitcoin price boomed in 2017 late. Next year halving maybe is the beginning of the next pump at 2021 or maybe it can be earlier in late 2020. But also history could not repeat, price won't move after the halving and we have to feel the dark days of crypto longer. Anything could happen so perepare ourself for any condition in the future

careful thinking the situation can change very quickly ,you and we all do not know what will hit our vehicle later ,well logically I can conclude something similar but there will still be a dump before halving who knows when more precisely or has happened dear we all will not know that

Hmm, we really can't tell though, I mean you know how the price is affected by either positive or negative news, so it is still 50/50 to me. And besides, there's no experts here, everyone is just throwing arbitrary numbers based on TA. And for those who claimed that they are experts? I wouldn't even follow their predictions. So let's see how it goes, for sure everyone knows that drill here, if there is a dump then continue to accumulate, when the price pumps then ride with the bandwagon.

People  have different perspective on market situation an it's up to you if you listen to them or not  since it's truly  better that you will observe for yourself if it's better  to take your entry or not, I feel that there is a little dump coming since we cannot fully stop it's movement  but once halving season will come for sure there is a great movement  will occur.

I Agree, Indicators have bullish bias and for short time I just spot a bullish opportunity now that can be traded and i see a window for buying with targets at $10,000 and $10,300. but key intraday level is around $9,500. Longs need to break above the 20MA on the weekly chart and then definitive close above the 100MA on the 1D chart. we are sitting between the 100dma and 200dma, and Sitting on really strong historical support too. Obviously, have a strong resistance to go through on 1D chart. If we break through the long term descending resistance we will close above the 100dma. hope you get idea without graph.

It's correcting itself right now. There aren't many things to consider for now since it's pretty silent so far, but the longer the silence, the longer BTC has in being corrected and accepted by the market. Plus, i doubt the whales were ever considering the reactions of the market, its been happening since long time ago, what more in the future right?

Crypto traders often confuse the word price correction to price dump. The price of btc can still be slightly corrected before the halving in may 2020, the whales are on the buy signal after the chinese blockchain news, they will not risk to play the game of price manipulations because the chinese investors might accumulate more btc, drive the price higher and make it to be scarce.

I made a similar post last week shoeing concern about one more dump before the halving but after few expert's advise and review from tenured users I think the market will not go as predicted and we might not see any dump before halving as the whales cannot risk applying same pattern when the market is already aware of the forecast and might react differently if dump occurs. I feel there will not be any dump before halving but what's your opinion.?
