I expect bitcoin to have a huge skyrocketing increase one day, unfortunately for all of us bitcoin is not something that goes up slowly over time, you will not have 5% increases for 30 day straight for example, that will never happen in crypto world for any coin at all.

We will have bitcoin going 50% high in one day, then the next day it will go 70% and break all the highs before and that will be it, it will stay stagnant for months in that price for a long time and then it will drop, it always drops so that's about it. 2020 will be basically a shorter version of 2019 with higher ups and higher lows, from 7-8k levels to 25k levels but then to 15k levels and stay there, sometimes go to 18k sometimes drop to 14k but stay in between those for months.

And that is not always the case.

It is true that they can manipulate the market the way they wanted to but that doesn't mean they can do that all of the time. That doesn't mean that they have the control of the whole market, that the price is in their grasp on at their disposal. They are the same as us that want the price of Bitcoin to increase. Right now, the price is stabling at $9K. This is better than a continuously falling market, and if someone wanted to kill Bitcoin and sold all he has, a lot of people would take that as an opportunity to reinvest and the price will just get back to normal.

Sometimes even the large players can't control it, you have to just let them be for a while because at the end of the day if the market is so huge that collectively we become big enough to destroy whales we totally could do that.

This doesn't happen all the time and I agree that whales do have advantage over us since there is no trading regulations on crypto exchanges so you can sell 500 million dollars worth of crypto and nobody could do anything about it whereas if you do that with stocks there is a ton of legal paper work to be done before you can do it or it could be called insider trading and get you in jail (rarely since you can bribe your way out). So, if whales do want to move things around they can but rarely we get bigger together and we just control it together.

I am expecting bitcoin markets to test at least $15 before end of this year. After watching today's bullish market I guess we can expect even up to $20 within this year in some sense. I guess the end of covid pandemic will script the final target price in 2020 of BTC markets. But, I guess everything will get confirmed in coming weeks as more than 2 countries are already in hurry to bring up vaccine for covid which is actually going to be the trigger for up coming bullish trend.

I guess anything between $15k to $20k will not disappoint most of the people here as that is what possible break even prices for many investors to have bought bitcoins by 2017. So, that price range will make many people to be calm and then getting ready to new ATHs later on.

I think that this range can only be reached in 2021, and that will be achieved if the price of bitcoin can reach more than $ 15k at the end of this year. Well, so far there hasn't been any movement, but I think by the end of the year the price of bitcoin can reach prices above $ 13k for 1 bitcoin. it will be seen when the price of bitcoin makes it past the $ 10k mark.

Well, the price has been stuck at the same place for a very long time, which means that there is really nothing we can predict right now, it was a great period for a while when the price started off strong moved from $7k to $9k then it went to $4k during pandemic days and moved back to 9 even $10k ranges and now it is stuck at $9k and not moving.

Now, when it is going down and up it is great because there is a huge attention towards it, even when it falls down it means some people are selling and some people are buying even though sellers are selling more but it ends up with a lot of people buying in the end to increase the price, but when there is zero movements that means it is difficult to predict. I think the only prediction we could make that 2020 will not end like this, eventually there will be some movements.

We are now in second leg of 2020 and I don't see any significant big or volatile movement like we see in 2017. I sow big figures be predicted as were we should expect bitcoin to be in 2020 but I did not see that reality.

i would say that halving influence will start to be seen at the beginning of next year, and will probably last long, throughout whole next year and 2022 as well, but i do not expect sharp price increase and do not see those glamorous numbers at the end, think that six figure numbers will not be reached in this halving cycle

although i hope they will be, do not expect it
