With some information of Bitcoin's possible fork upcoming in three weeks the prices have remained very stable. We are just steps away from breaking that $5K mark again as people rush in at the last minute to get some free BitcoinGold. Will we see a repeat of the last time or will investors show a little more restraint and hold onto their new crypto-dividends for longer?

Regardless of what happens, we are going to see another Bitcoin split so get ready for the wild ride people! Who doesn't like free money?

In today's chart we have remained very stable in the mid $4500's just bouncing between $4450 and $4675. The increased stability is partly due to smart investors picking up "cheap" Bitcoin before the next split. We are very likely going to have a bull run over the coming weeks leading up to the October 1st split with another possible scare sell a few days before. This mid $4K range is the next base of support before the attempt at breaking $5K.

The last time Bitcoin split the price of BTC BARELY budged, but with 3 actors in the Bitcoin mining game it should be interesting. Remember that there are only so many computers in the world capable of mining Bitcoin effectively now and those computers are already in use. Once we split there will be three competing groups of miners all fighting over the same hash power which might result in some network delays and more drama after the split. Bitcoin already has to compete daily with BitcoinCash for miners.

This will highlight the ever growing need for the implementation of the lightning network with atomic swaps.

Likely Scenarios:

  • There is a slight drop to the $4450 zone again before building back up to $4550-4650
  • BTC remains stable in the mid $4K range until the volumes increase
  • We see a nice jump to $4750+ with increased buy volumes

TLDR Version:
Bitcoin will be splitting AGAIN in roughly three weeks. Prices remain bullish until the end of the month. Expect strong support in the mid $4,000's today again as Bitcoin fights for territory with its children.

Price Target:
$4680

I enjoyed the last free bitcoin cash. Why do you think bitcoin price went down on that split? I didn't really understand , i bought some because i wanted a free bitcoin cash, and got a big discount too

The price went down leading up to the decision on SegWit (mid July) simply because MARKETS DO NOT LIKE UNCERTAINTY. Any time there is fear there will be panic selling. There were people who were convinced that Bitcoin was going to "break" or go down in price after the split so they sold during the height of the so called civil war.

Coincidentally when Bitcoin hit $1800 and wasn't nearly as profitable to mine as before, the miners began to signal for Segwit. This drove the price into a frenzied rally which landed us where we are at today. The price might actually begin to rally leading up to Oct.1st and then drop right before to allow one more chance to buy back in.

I'm fully expecting the alt-coin markets to take another massive hit right before and then recover sharply afterwards so set some good buy orders in low and make sure you shift your funds into BTC well before the split. I would start doing that this week to be honest :)

ALSO STOCK UP ON MORE BTC

Yes during corrections, bitcoin usually down the least, so on the last week's one i bought alts with btc, planning to sell some back for btc maybe next few days. Then we should stock up on Fiat and then buy the dip. lol.
