Apparently I inspired this image.
We may see record high prices this week with all of the media attention from Reddit/BoingBoing that took down the site/forums earlier today. I don't think we'll see this new attention reflected in BTC price until late this week, as it takes a couple days to get money to the exchanges.

I placed a $1000 bet on this yesterday, we'll see how it goes. Smiley

should we be expecting somebody to buy everything up to $10 in one go any moment? thats a pattern lately, everytime the sells mount up relative to the buys and take over the chart, we all see the "sell pressure" and conclude a downwards trend is about to happen, or this correction were all waiting on, it begins to happen a bit and then BAM! somebody buys everything that was on the page, thats been how most of the big upward spikes happened in the last weeks, the big buyers seem to be waiting for these moments when the sells start piling up so they can get them in one buy, maybe its safer than them driving up the market even faster with a 100k buy order sitting there,

again im just a pleb with no experience thinking out loud   Grin it could very well be the start of a huge sell hitting parity in 3 days  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

This is what I started in another thread:https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.123329


All,

some of you have seen my Bitcoin Technical / Market analysis.

After 9 months of service since October 2010 (see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-forecast-bitcoin-speculation-bitcoin-technical-analysis-up-or-down-1493), I want to build on it and expand it. .
I will still plan to keep my 2x per week regular updates on bitcoinwatch for all people.

What is new is that as some of you have suggested, I will offer a subscription based analysis.

This subscription service provides:
  • Weekly in depth Bitcoin (BTC/USD) analysis
  • Covers all time frames
  • Includes Elliott Wave analysis and trading recommendations based on that
  • Offers on top trading alerts
  • Allows 1x per month a tailored analysis for your specific trading needs


The subscription will be handled simply by me sharing the analysis with you per email in a pdf format. You can register via PM, sharing an email contact, and paying the monthly subscription in Bitcoins. The service will start in June `11. Initially I take maximum 20 people. Price will be 5 BTC / month. Send me a private mail to register on first come, first serve basis.

For info, I have already given individual, specific trading recommendations to some people tailored to their needs and they are very satisfied.

Thanks for your trust already. I have already 5 out of 20 subscribers.

We are in a "x-mas tree" pattern

aaah, come on, now you're just making stuff up.

I think it's the shape of italy's west coast.



Note that time might reverse when we hit Genova. BTC still on track even then Wink

(S3052, don't take this the wrong way, plz)

This post would have you earned you a tip from if this was witcoin! Love it.

Eadem mutata resurgo

I agree it could be disruptive but I'm not sure that the liberal use of the word "dangerous" is warranted, being as it is subjective in that context.

A liberating force for good maybe dangerous to entrenched status quo interests. But breaking their oppressive stranglehold on the economic freedom of humanity is not dangerous for humanity, it's positively liberating.

All bets are off now that bitcoin is on BoingBoing and they are quoting Calacanis' very bullish newsletter

Quote
Bitcoin is a P2P currency that could topple governments, destabilize economies and create uncontrollable global bazaars for contraband. (...) After month of research and discovery, we've learned the following:
1. Bitcoin is a technologically sound project.
2. Bitcoin is unstoppable without end-user prosecution.
3. Bitcoin is the most dangerous open-source project ever created.
4. Bitcoin may be the most dangerous technological project since the internet itself.
5. Bitcoin is a political statement by technotarians (technological libertarians).*
6. Bitcoins will change the world unless governments ban them with harsh penalties.

S3052, a tip would be to look at volume in terms of USD. The picture is quite different and it clearly shows that in terms of USD turnover the last few days have been record high. The argument for this is that most new people will decide to invest X USD worth of bitcoins. So the activity should be considered in USD which is quite different when we have seen huge increase in BTC/USD recently.

I agree, this is more relevant.  Volume was record this week.  

Good luck getting money from your bank to Mt. Gox on a weekend.  Wait til next week to sell if that's what you want to do.  

Talk is cheap.  Put your money where your mouth is.

a couple of questions for S3052 - One thing I have noticed about Bitcoin, is that whenever a large sale of coins happens, dropping the value significantly, is how *quickly* it rebounds, as many others seem to take the opportunity to snap up the newly liberated coins at a lower price.

Is this rapid-recovery tendency a likely indicator of an ever-increasing userbase driving demmand inexorably higher and quickly taking up the slack when a large speculator gets cold feet about continued growth and decides to dump a heap of coins and take their profit ?   

Is the viral spread of news and adoption of bitcoins enough to make it behave *unlike* the normal stock market (that everyone knows exists but only a small percentage of people decide to start playing in normally )and hence explain the rapid-recovery tendency ?

That's why the bitcoin exchanges should be closed on the weekend like the Forex market - ie close Friday open Sunday Smiley

This is more of a case that the Forex should be open 24/7.  So the rest of us can sell when the news comes out rather than only the big players.

I suppose that can be the case as well, but most news releases come out during the weekday business days. A few items like international conferences and such do happen on Saturday when the markets are closed.

Live and enjoy experiments
Agree with you.

And it is even more than that:
The current rate of mining creates 7,000-10,000 bitcoins per day, 50,000 - 70,000 per week, 200,000 - 280,000 per month. This creates a lot of supply which, if not absorbed by buyers of bitcoins results in a  lot of technical overhead pressure on BTC/fiat currencies.
On the other hand, for a completely decentralized "fiat" currency, attracting 160K~224K inflow per month -- like in the past few months -- is quite remarkable.

There are no rich people competing to hoard BTC, which is a healthy thing at this stage. The trading volume shows this is still a very thin market but that can change on a dime any time.
 

Yeah, it's been surprising to watch it all unfold.  It never really was destined to last.  Still, I would contest the assumption that there are no wealthy players involved in Bitcoin.  All that we can really say is that no wealthy players have invested excessively in Bitcoin.
Now you've seen how it looks like when a few rich duds come to town.

I wonder if this panic selling can continue beyond monday/tuesday since the buyers can't get their money transfered in on the weekends,  during the last weekdays all the big sells were followed with massive even bigger buys soon after(surprising us all everytime   Grin), it looks to be much harder for the buyers to do anything about a panic sell off on the weekends, is that a fair observation?

again im just a pleb with no trading experience watching and wondering  Tongue

I'd love to see a pullback to at least 5 but my suspicion is that we'll see a consolidation in the 7 range with slight upward drift for a little over a week.  This will set us up for a decisive attack on 10.
