This was when Gox opened and a few geeks threw coins around. The average WEEKLY volume was something like 40k USD. This is looking at noise. Even if I were to believe in whatever wave theory, which I don't, I would not use this data as a reference.

Personally, my current best guess would be a change of attitude and a few hurt speculators some time soon, resulting in maybe one or two months of correction. But this is not something I can bet on, we might as well see a huge chaos unleashed due to the excessive margin trading. I wasn't expecting this, so I'm nut sure I got all the scenarios right on this one.

I can just say that this time, enough factors to allow a sudden hard crash have accumulated, so I strongly recommend to not go all-in! Especially not on margin! Better safe than sorry when one isn't sure what's going on. This goes both ways, look at how quickly the order book changes these days.

I know many expect a break out (to 9 or to 4) just around the corner - but in the past after monthly scale rallies there were also monthly scale corrections and I would not expect one of them instead of a quick down or up spike.  For example see the first monthly scale wave in October-November 2010:

After the about month long rally there was about month long correction.  If someone subscribes to the Elliot Waves theory - this was the first sub wave of the first main (yearly) wave - we are now in the first subwave of the second main wave so this one can be quite similar.  But even if we look at the other monthly scale waves - they too had corrections that took about the same amount of time.
