Just to get back to sanity check in all this redness, the long term trend was saying this is where we should be today, 15 June 2017:
Date Target 80% Lower Bound
15 Jun 2017 $1,285 $ 1028
At current weighted price of $2,337.11, we are at 181.86% of forecast value.
For speculation purposes, IF we continue the same exponential trend, we are looking for the following price targets (note we are a bit above where the trendline says we should be right now):
1 Jun 2017 : $1,243
1 Jul 2017 : $1,335
1 Aug 2017 : $1,436
1 Sep 2017 : $1,546
1 Oct 2017 : $1,660
1 Nov 2017 : $1,786
1 Dec 2017 : $1,918
1 Jan 2018 : $2,064
23 Mar 2018 : $2,500
8 Jun 2018 : $3,000
8 Oct 2018 : $4,006
1 Jan 2019 : $4,899
1 Jan 2020 : $11,630
1 Jan 2021 : $27,675
Here's something also interesting... extrapolating that same price trend back into history, since 12 Feb 2013 (more than 4 years now), we have never been more than 20% below the trendline. Applying a 20% contingency to the above numbers would mean the following potential lower bounds:
Date Target 80% Lower Bound
1 Jun 2017 $1,243 $ 994
1 Jul 2017 $1,335 $ 1,068
1 Aug 2017 $1,436 $ 1,149
1 Sep 2017 $1,546 $ 1,236
1 Oct 2017 $1,660 $ 1,328
1 Nov 2017 $1,786 $ 1,429
1 Dec 2017 $1,918 $ 1,534
1 Jan 2018 $2,064 $ 1,651
23 Mar 2018 $2,500 $ 2,000
8 Jun 2018 $3,000 $ 2,400
8 Oct 2018 $4,006 $ 3,205
1 Jan 2019 $4,899 $ 3,919
1 Jan 2020 $11,630 $ 9,304
1 Jan 2021 $27,675 $22,140
