I've seen this prediction many times, but not sure why exactly people are choosing this number. In 2013, we went up 60x. Why would we only go up 7x next year? IMO if anything the curve gets steeper as the monkeys hope on board.

There's only so many monkeys. While I tend to "predict" a higher increase for 2014 also, it's not in any way a given that the rate of fresh monkey inflow is going to increase forever. It might well be that the bulk is over already (although I highly doubt that).

It all boils down to the question: "how many monkeys is it going to be in the end?".

I'm hoping for roughly 7 billion.

4 hour candles, how "short-term" are we talkin?

fair retort. i suppose "micro-term" is more appropriate here. i was responding to Bright in context, while assuming they were referring to the slide that just happened in response to the failure to break the resistance they mentioned.

all i mean to say is this small move down doesn't strengthen the bearish case if the doji marks a micro-term bottom. we're still being held up by the mid-term support as long as we don't move any lower. hence why this fairly small price movement is very significant.

--arepo

got it, thanks for the explanation. in these times of high volatility, i think its fair to call a 1 day to 1 week time-frame 'short term.'

yes, that is the general usage. i'm afraid i'm being a little optimistic here and referencing my bullishly notated charts (see my thread) Tongue if everything pans out, $775 will indeed hold for that time frame.

On average we will go up $10-$20 per day for the next 10 days or so (with ups and downs of course). Then quite a fair chance of some steeper climbing before consolidation in a few months.

The current line is going to develop into the over-riding trend for next year, meaning we arrive at between $4,000 and $5,000 by the end of 2014 (catastrophic news or bubble at that time notwithstanding).

Sounds facile but despite the noise (media as much as as TA) most things are pointing that way.

I see a lot of charts here for price prediction, the thread has around 50+pages... So was your predictions accurate? How many of them? (above 50%)?

$830 is continuing to act as massive resistance. This is good news for the bearish case.

no dice. high-volume doji marks the short-term bottom:



we're still being held up by the mid-term moving support.

Most likely scenario is a break through $825 by the end of the week then consolidation at this price

If we are going for new lows, 800~ is also the perfect number to double your coins.

based on the shape of the last bubble, we've still got some ways up to go before another reversal..

--arepo

It depends on more factors now, but if you simply want to keep with the ratios of the last bubble the low ($450) has clearly been touched.

Yeah, it's still possible we'll make a final reach to 900-ish before going down but I see the ratios more as consistent approximations, and the top pinged nicely on fib level 0.5. I'd rather sell at 800 and risk missing some potential profit than hold if it does start to go down after that.

the ratios are going to be different because of different market conditions (hint, investors were a little more rational this time around and formed a sensible double-top formation as opposed to bubble-top cusp). the shape of the pattern is scarily identical, however.

--arepo
If lucif taught me anything it's that the market is incredibly static in its predictability to the point where it defies common sense Cheesy The condition for the pop was also different (we had not yet reached the parabolic spike of terminal fifth wave) yet the top-bottom turned out to have (approximately) the same ratio regardless.

But this is nothing more than guesswork from a noob sheep, we'll just have to wait and see if it holds true. If it does I will make sacrifice to the market gods for allowing me a glimpse of their infinite wisdom!

Looks like the correction down trendlines are broken:

(bitstamp)

Time for a bounce back? What do you think?

It will take people a few days to get used to the idea but I think it's good.

Speculation: The top of the major bulltrap has been reached based on fib retracement levels and top/trap-top ratio of previous bubble crash applied to this one, and now we should enter a period of decline. The same method worked for me to estimate bottom with relative accuracy, so I don't see why it shouldn't for this.

Time for me to take profit, see you all when we reach floor again Grin

Yeah, whats the point of that ZH article? Nothing to do with Bitcoin.

Has a lot to do with bitcoin in my mind. Is Bitcoin like gold or like stocks. I think like gold, we might see.


I thought this too until a buddy pointed out that right now gold is HEAVILY manipulated as the major banks attempt to restock their coffers ahead of the Germans taking delivery of all that gold we took in WWII.  Poor Germans don't realize we don't actually have the gold to pay them back.

http://www.theaureport.com/pub/na/who-is-manipulating-the-gold-price
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-12-13/deutsche-bank-investigated-gold-manipulation-probe

We do realize it. It's plain to see they don't have the gold. What should we do? Start a war against the US?

With Bitcoin being "like gold", of course I didn't mean "manipulated", I meant: be used as a flight-to-safety asset.

Yes. Except for the little fact that various market conditions are always dynamic. That is why every major run up and sell off has not followed the same pattern. Expecting the market to behave like it did 6 months ago is probably going to disappoint.
