Experts on comparing personal finances The latest monthly survey on site finder.com's cryptocurrency forecast shared their 2019 predictions for eight of the top 10 coins by market capitalization, as well as the top three trend currencies, Monero , Dogecoin and NEO.
Almost all coins should fall in the following month, with the exception of Cardano and Stellar, which should increase by 43% and 84%, respectively.
TRON, Dogecoin and Litecoin will record the biggest declines by 1 February 2019, with expected falls of 52%, 47% and 35% respectively.
While it is expected that almost all coins will fall over the next month, five of these falling coins are expected to be recovered in the next year. This means that a total of seven coins are expected to increase in value over the course of the year.
The coins that are expected to see the greatest growth in 2019 are Stellar, Cardano and bitcoin, with an expected growth of 260%, 91% and 84%, respectively.
Bitcoin is dividing opinion among panel members, with an expected decrease of seven percent this month. However, panelists expect the currency to resume at US $ 6.947 by the end of the year.
Alisa Gul, CEO of WishKnish, believes that "downward pressure on the global stock market does not seem to have a lasting effect [on price], as well as the easing of the difficulty of the validation algorithm "means that" it is difficult now to see a lot of light at the end of this tunnel ".
However, Joe Raczynski of JoeTechnologist gives some reason for optimism. While observing that "many of the institutional actors have declared that they have finished this experiment (publicly)", this could be a temporary attitude because "if there are dramatic changes with the economy (the expectation is slightly more likely that no), bitcoin will be a safe haven ".
