Patience is required for holding bitcoin. But we also need more development of the bitcoin environment. It is quite slow recently.
Ya it is true that when ever their is price increase in the market , the small traders start to take profit and sell bitcoins, but this dont means that the price affects too much, until their is not a bad news the price increase will be their, because their are so many users who are buying bitcoins for investment means and they are not like short term profit trader.
about this week rise that we cannot tell till their is any good news i dont think the price wont give much affect in the market.
