How many times does it need to be confirmed before the bears realise that the panic is over, and now the buying pressure has overcome all the pathetic selling forces that are left. Bitcoins are undervalued.
I scanned through this thread pretty well not reading any posts until I found someone with a track record of balanced and analytical posts. I found just you. I would like to inform you however that the panic is not over, and Bitcoin is not undervalued. I believe that the market is due another leg up where it will retest the long term descending right angled triangle, and for this reason, I am currently long Bitcoin. But looking further ahead, than the next few days, the news around about Bitcoin right now is horrible, and whilst I understand that MSM hype or negativity is the ultimate in contrarian indicators, there is also this issue of masses of stolen, Chinese, and newly mined coins that are looking to cash out.
Once $380 support fails, then this will instigate a massive psychological change in the market, turning formerly strong hands to weak hands. Then the Bitcoin market will get to know all about despair. I said before, I reckon the $200 range lies ahead in the not too distant future. Quote me for truth if you like.
It was only a few months ago when we were all so excited about wall street, rumours of Paypal, ebay etc, and even some banks toying with the idea of entering the bitcoin market. these forces outweigh 100:1 any catastrophe bitcoin has ever faced. Dont forget them, because they are only just around the corner, billions of dollars can stream in within days. Im sure you are aware that the largest of investors require catastrophe to enter the market. how could an investor inject a billion dollars into this market without driving the price to oblivion? no, this is the opportune moment the smart money has been waiting for.
the panic is over, but where is the fundamental drive? not to be seen. it could come in 2 weeks. we will see, though the chinese certainly do have the whit to prepare, in fact, I think they have. but right now, the theme is risk
on. we have now 2 weeks ahead of us to squeeze shorts and think carefully about those rash decisions the panic sellers have made.
ps. thanks for your kind words. and all due respect. you have a good track record also.
