BTC/USD is above both channels mow (normal scale 1.6$, log scale around 3$). It is crucial now to stay above. A break below will make this a BULL TRAP and give a quite negative indication.

So it is important that Bitcoin doesn't break $3, $1.6. That is a very large range. So now we should see resistance at the upper line of the price channel?

If you really did sell, you just lost a ton of money.

Yes, because weekends can not reflect the real situation as workweeks.

ah the mysterious first generation miners, are they over the moon with joy today?

They deserve it because they had more risks wasting time and money.

It should be interesting to see how investors react to MTGOX being down for three days. Apparently they will be back up by Monday, but it still doesn't look good. Plus coinpal going down indefinitely around the same time sucks as well.

My guess is that we will have several days of fear selling followed by a strong rally back up. I sold all of my BTC onto #bitcoin-otc for around $3.50 per BTC just now...I plan to use those profits to buy back into the market at a lower price.

I don't believe a word of this.

We've gone super-exponential .... seller's strike continues, the question is at what price do the big seller's come out of the woodwork? Those guys have mined the first 2.5 million coins for example.

They're not going to buy dollars. They're going to buy a heroic amount of shrooms. The dealers will hold on to much of those bitcoins because the raw materials for shroom production are cheap. Therefore they'll sell the bitcoins slowly on an as needed basis.

We are above the channel trendline in both, normal (1.6$) and log scale (around 3$).

moa got it right i think, were in uncharted territory here, alot of these buyers might never have even known what a bitcoin was two weeks ago, its not like a normal market in that sense. maybe the new price is normal given the new amount of people that know about it, the old growth estimate just got the increased awareness wrong?, its like finding a new packed continent on earth and the people have never heard of gold and now they want to buy... that may just mess up your projections,

or maybe not since i'm just a twit thinking out loud Cheesy

This is kind of what I'm beginning to think is going on. We've all just underestimated the exposure and the interest people have in bitcoin. Interest may be increasing more than the community thought a few weeks ago, and, as a result, the population of buyers has increased sufficiently relative to the supply. In which case, this isn't a speculative bubble.

I just want to make sure I understand things correctly. If there's a break above the channel (that last longer than an hour), then we're in a rally, and prices will likely go quite a bit higher. Is that right? On the other hand, if there's a break below the lower trend line, then we'll see a prices go down significantly. Am I getting this right?

All I can comment on is what constitutes a break, but yes, that's my understanding of S3052's analysis.

Incidentally, it's not so much that the break above lasts more than hour - simply that when one time period ends the price is above it. The price could, say, go above the channel at 1 minute past the hour, then fall back below at 59 minutes past, and that wouldn't be a break. On the other hand, if the price went above at 59 minutes past - and remained there for >1 minute - then that would be a break. Again, this is just my understanding of technical analysis and I am by no means knowledgeable.

Here is a special Bitcoin technical update,given the very strong, but potentially overheating trend.

Keep up the great work! Donated 5btc

One quick question, when do we know if it has clearly broken out of the price channel? If we keep in this price channel the market really cannot move to $5 till July...

On the hourly chart (the one S3052 was using) the price needs to close one hour above the channel. If it breaks above the channel and then falls back within the same time-period, it hasn't broken out. (So, in this case, there has been a break above the channel, as the time period - the hour - has ended with the closing price above the channel).

...at least, that's how I understand it. I hope S3052 will see me right if I'm wrong!
