Bitcoin Price Forecast 1/4/2018
"Imma try and talk a little bit o' sense into em', ain't sure though that it's gonna work!" Current Market Cap: $764.9B (+$31.8B in 24 hours) Bitcoin Dominance: 33.6% (-1.1%)
Just about every alt-coin was in an absolute frenzy over the past week as Bitcoin has been slowly losing its dominance over the market. The CRAZY BTC fees have put off new investors who aren't familiar with the technology or the ins and outs of transferring different cryptocurrencies. They have begun to explore alternative methods and projects especially ones that are faster, cheaper and allow novelty functions like privacy. Irrational exuberance can be dangerous, however, so always approach bull markets with caution!
Eventually Bitcoin will come back with a vengeance and it won't be pretty!
Today I used three different indicators and trading tools: Bollinger Bands, Stochastics and MACD
Bollinger Bands show the low and high ranges at 14,200-15,200 and the moving average to be around $14,700
Stochastics show OVERBOUGHT conditions with a little more room to go higher
MACD suggest a bullish crossover at the zero line but must maintain buy volumes to prevent a reversal.
They say "Never forget where you came from." Well I guess the same could be said for Bitcoin :) We have seen prices stabilize in the $14,500-$15,500 range over the past day and are just waiting for that next wave of cash to spark that next bull run.
Likely Scenarios:
- BTC tests the $15,500- $16,000 resistance zone before falling back down somewhat to the $14K-$15K zone again
- We continue to bounce between $14,000 and $15,500 due to low volumes and falling demand
- A massive pop in volumes sends us past the resistance and settles the new support above $16K
TLDR Version:
Bitcoin is here to stay but is slowly regaining its momentum after losing a tremendous chunk of market cap. Expect prices to hover above $14K and attempt $16K by tonight.
Alt-Coins To Watch (waiting to pump!):
- BCH
- LTC
- QTUM
- BTS
- WAVES
- NXT
- VTC

It's been great lately in the altcoins, coins flat for a while or waiting to pump is my new strategy including BTC been flat for a while
Hey buddy long time no see! Yes alt-coins have been very good to me lately. My strategy has been to collect as many coins as possible when they are consolidated and just sit back and wait.
Got Bitshares for under 5 cents and I'm just waiting for it to hit a few dollars a pop :) Holding BTC as part of your portfolio is always a good idea!
yes just in case altcoins dip, you have some btc for bargain hunting, i think now is time to accumulate btc again as the alts go up
Good analysis on the bitcoin chart. The cryptos you mention that are waiting to be pumped.
LTC,WAVES and BCH I think are pretty weak on the charts. How did you decide that they are good ?
Also do you think that this frenzy in altcoins will continue, what do you expect?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge !
The alt-coin boom is just starting.
Read my article about FOMO and you will learn why those coins are good buys right now:

Nice! Im still waiting to be verified on Poloniex.
It could be a while because they aren't allowing new customers on Bittrex OR Binance now and Bitfinex already stopped US customers from going there a few months ago. Every exchange is being inundated with new customer accounts and they simply cannot keep up. The market is experiencing some growing pains but this could be a great time to really jump in because people want it even more now they can't have it!
