At the moment of writing, Bitcoin was trading, on average, at $13.064, with a max of $17,314 on Bithumb, the South Korean exchange that drove the price higher over the last few weeks.
If we look at what happened since December 22nd, we may probably identify a pattern known as "head and shoulders".
Statistically, this pattern is considered bearish, so probably the downside trend will continue. In which case, the next support line may be around $10,000. If Bitcoin breaks up, though (which may also happen), it may as well go above $15,000.
The interesting thing, though, is that Bitcoin dominance is only 38%, but more on that in the next post.

It has come a long way , 2018 might be its year just like 2017
True, Bitcoin may touch $10,000 for short time but we can clearly see the real support between $12,000 to $16,000.
People keep saying that BTC will recover. But it isn't showing us that in the charts.
It will climb back up after Christmas
Well, Christmas is over and it's still in a downtrend.
Bitcoin will recover but no one knows when
I'm just curious... How can you see that crearly...whats your trick?
Great for altcoins. However, I wonder when STEEM will be in three Big Brother exchanges: Bithumb, Bitfinex, Binance?
If they don't sort out this transaction fee nightmare then I expect bitcoin to keep falling in relation to the alt coins.
I expect that Bitcoin will lose even more position in front of altcoins in future.
unless it can scale
Well, right now it can't and compared to coins like Steem, it can't do that much, but who knows what it is going to happen in the near future :)
No one expected ripple to go to number 2 so you never know bitcoin might just make a come back in 2018
I can not disagree with you, Bitcoin has chances to come back in 2018. This is for sure not the end of it. :)
Why it is going on
bitcoin is not scaling
Maybe my patience wait for a bitcoin at a discounted price will finally be worth it :)
its working! BItcoin is at 13k
fingers crossed lets see what adventure bitcoin has got in 2018 :D
I think it will hit just below $12,000 and then rebound fiercely right after January begins.
Pro-longed Christmas Sale :)
I think we started the year with a 80% market cap dominance and now we're ending it with a 38% market cap. It's good to see that there is a new top 10 list of cryptocurrencies by market cap when compared to the beginning of the year. I would love to see a lot of movement in that list next year. Maybe some coin could temporarily dethrone BTC.
Its broke below $12,900 now and the way things are looking for all the other coins, the next couple days are probably going to really rocky for BTC. It's looking grim right now for at least the next couple days.
We have to wait, the price of bitcoin historically has been very unpredictable, so who knows, as you say seems to tend to the downside but even so if it stabilizes at $ 10,000, many holders who bought about 2 months ago at $ 5,000, see their profits duplicates
Very nice. Firstly, thankyou for the advice and support. Secondly, bitcoin may drop to $10,000 because of the South Korean government which abandoned the btc and crypto currencies.
Bitcoin crassing again but ETH & other crypto still good position, hoping it'll back again soon.....waiting for your next uodate post......thanks for sharing @dragosroua
Thanks for discuss. About bitcoin...Carry on your activity...
but sure after fork btc rise up highly than others upto 15000 soon in next days
is this news ture? Korea has been in trading bitcoin?
Things aren't looking good!
In my opinion, the market is recognizing among the many coins that are the most efficient. Bitcoin is not among these coins
You mean... I have to read another guessing post... Ohh Godddd.. Please stop posting about crypto... Let it be.... :)) Un An Nou fericit, și toate cele bune...
Great TA post - BTC might go down, but it might go up too! 😜
I just don't like bitcoin high transaction fees is there any solution for this problem @dragosroua
