stop thinking bitcoin is going XXXXX% a year

this is only happening because it new, and poeple are are still hearing about it for the first time.

we will go to 3000$ as fast as we possibly can and then start to rise much more slowly / safely.

Then why are you out?

With MtGox, Bitstamp, BTCe and BTC China.

I believe that none of the exchanges surpasses yesterday's high values ($1000/$750/$640) set about 24 hours ago, today or during the remainder of the year, (except Bitstamp at max).

I believe that none of the exchanges surpasses the current values ($700/$630/$600) during the rest of the week, (except for the following hours).

I give 75% probability to the scenario.

Otherwise the common wisdom does not hold, and 2010 is back.

Excellent TA. Only we are talking about bitcoin here... I foresee about $700 mark on mtgox until the end of the day. If not; I'm totally with you and your predictions.

Thanks for sharing with me oda, I think your view's reasonable even though it's so hard to predict time. Will be interesting to see how common it is: https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=340980.0

I agree with your sentiments, my observation of the June 2011 bubble is it went so far off the trend line that it took a long time to catch up. We are now on track, but at any moment something fundamental may change, and we may see a demand spike of 2 orders of magnitude followed by a 12-16 month bear market.  If you dumped Bitcoin, I dumped some fiat, make good use of it.

All this attention bitcoin is getting is great, but there's one thing missing for mass adoption/speculation: a reliable market. Mt.gox? lol. Bitstamp? Shady. Btc-china? It's in China. BTC-e? It's in Russia for christ sake. Until then I just don't see it happening.

Bitcoin is appreciating at 1140% per year...

+1 It's just physics (thermodynamics and Black-Scholes for the mathy). I usually believe in that kinda kooky stuff.

We agree, and I quite enjoy your analysis, contribution and commentary. :-)

A bull is a person who does not hold fiat.

A bear is a person who holds at least some fiat and wants to return to BTC.

As you can see, I am now a bear. But almost everybody else are bulls. What this means is that you do not have the means to influence price to the upside. Only we do. But we are very few. Also the newbies do. But will they really buy in this kind of situation?

Mmmm, I remember the days when I was nearer the top of your distribution list, and thought I could make a quick buck, and then Bitcoin jumped 2 orders of magnitude and became my legendary big fish.

I think the panic buying starts in the $1000 range this time around.

Please just because I enjoy your contributions, never go all in on fiat always hold a little Bitcoin in reserve.

So you're all out at a $15 $9-$40 price?

I've been buying back in, net worth is up net Bitcoin balance is down an order of magnitude.

Bitcoin is appreciating at 1140% per year. The trendline price for November is $328 and December $404. After several months of significantly behind the trend, we did a spectacular overshoot to $1100/$900/$750 across main exchanges. Immediately followed an hourly-term bear market, characterized by (mainly) lower highs and lower lows. We are now 40 hours after the pop.

Currently the price is at double the trendtarget. You can stretch a rubber band a lot, but when you release, it starts to contract with force. Force must be applied to reverse the course and stretch it back to 3, 4 or more times the trend. The natural tendency of the rubber band is to contract to the trendline and even 25%-40% below it.

Since this bubble developed so rapidly, the trend had no time to catch up or adjust. Therefore, despite my earlier predictions that the next crash bottom will be $500ish (double the pre-bubble ATH), I will have to adjust the downside target to about $300. This is 33% below December trendline, and also higher than the previous ATH, which will act as support. There are currently not many supports between that and the new high. These will be formed as we grind down.

In my observation, the forum is overextended and cannot buy the price up. "Others" will act according to time-tested statistical principles (refer to 4/2013 bubble pop for details). There will be a bear market lasting for weeks. Many in this forum will not acknowledge it even after it is over It will not be a huge event, and absolutely nothing to care about if you are a long-term holder. But traders do well to understand that sometimes even fiat has its day.

I believe that none of the exchanges surpasses yesterday's high values ($1000/$750/$640) set about 24 hours ago, today or during the remainder of the year, (except Bitstamp at max).

I believe that none of the exchanges surpasses the current values ($700/$630/$600) during the rest of the week, (except for the following hours).

Are you SURE it wasn't just that person putting up and pulling the phantom sell walls causing the price to temporarily decrease?

[maz]

Today reminded me how vulnerable bitcoin really is at times. It was going up so strong you could have been fooled into thinking $500 was gone forever. Major eye opener. I'm glad I was here to experience it.
