Most people that know how markets work know that healthy markets need to correct to continue growing.
The current bullish cycle is larger than the first and second one, where we saw some nasty corrections, meaning things could get real dirty, real soon.
Market cap has increased from $250B to $310B within 7 days.
I want to know what people think.

It looks like a bubble, so yeah, I'm worried about the price level. Today there was a flash crash where btc fell over 24% in about 4 hours. It rebounded quickly as well, though still off the intraday high by about 10%. The volatility has been crazy, and such dramatic price swings (in either direction) don't provide any confidence that this is sustainable or rational. Watching order book data on gdax in real time, there's no doubt algorithm's are driving trading, and I have to believe they are fine-tuned to profit off volatility and to drive or manufacture that in order to capitalize off it. That doesn't do anything to assuage my concern that the current price level is artificially high, given that it was likely driven to this point by computers, and there will be nothing to sustain it once it begins to fall. Everyone treats bitcoin like its rise is inevitable, and nothing in the real world works that way. That's mania, and a sure sign of a bubble.
