The big difference between 2011 and 2013 is that the parabolic rise took 3 months now instead of 2 months in 2011. Hence why I think the correction will also take longer.

The rise was a lot more parabolic in 2011: that was a bigger bubble with greater volatility. When that bubble popped, the bearish trend became apparent fairly quickly and the price fell by about 92+% peak to trough. I don't see the same happening this time (unless Bitcoin fails altogether).

I don't get why it must be binary. Why can't there be a deep correction without complete failure?

Duration does not equal depth.

That's what she said.

Here is a list of all previous price drops of 15 percent or more. Peak, trough, number of days from peak to tough, and percent price drop.

Code:

1 2010-07-19 0.09 2010-07-24 0.05 5 44.4
2 2010-11-07 0.36 2010-12-10 0.19 33 47.2
3 2011-01-16 0.39 2011-01-19 0.31 3 20.5
4 2011-02-14 1.06 2011-04-05 0.67 50 36.8
5 2011-05-14 7.86 2011-05-21 5.97 7 24.0
6 2011-06-09 29.58 2011-11-18 2.14 156 92.8
7 2012-01-08 7.05 2012-02-16 4.19 39 40.6
8 2012-08-17 13.26 2012-08-19 9.09 2 31.4
9 2013-04-09 214.67 2013-04-16 65.33 7 69.6

The longest crash lasted 156 days. It has now been 153 days since the April 9 peak.

Typically, though, crashes are over very quickly. The median is only 7 days. The mean is 33.6 days.

Great research.

The big difference between 2011 and 2013 is that the parabolic rise took 3 months now instead of 2 months in 2011. Hence why I think the correction will also take longer. If like 2011 the correction would be also 2.5 longer than the parabolic rise that would be 225 days or 7.5 months after April 9th peak = end November.

It's always nice to see that people keep track of these statistics. It could mean everything (or nothing). At least it supplies information for those that need it.

This is all meaningless. Every crash is different. They are caused by different forces and recovery is predicated on different forces too. This is garbage.

Actually I find it quite interesting.
