You've got to remember, this whole down spiral started on the back of America's recovery.

Bitcoin is a hedge against other investments.

There's only one way we can go with this, and that is.... DOWN.

Same with gold, pull your profits while you can!

you are clearly confused. bitcoin is not a hedge - unless to some - maybe you should go learn what bitcoin's similarities and differences compared to gold and fiat. random statements such as yours are borderline trollish

bitcoin is not a mature market, it still has room to grow whereas gold....

Agree. A lot of work is needed first though.

Bitcoin doesn't do much yet

If you ask me the fact we're up so high is crazy...

Bernanke has reassured the market...

We're going down. Investors will pull, and at a quick profit. 90 is too high.

The rise is almost a perfect mirror image of the decline.

I hope too many people weren't shaken out.

60dollars to 90, id saythats' quite the inrfase increase. But the decrease was also rather sharp. Something done in this time period is sharp, no matter the market. This is why BTC is volatile, where price changes are this quick. Don't mistake me though, I mmam iam a longterm bull though.

Also, a general rule of thumb is that any sudden or very rapid price change will face a correction. It happened with the huge slide down, and it'll happen with the big increase now.

the big increase?!?!!?!?!?! we go up a few bucks and you think its a big increase. ha i remember we would see ten dollar gains in an hour. callit now then we will see about 140-150 in two weeks.

bitcoin undervalued? nobody knows real price. to me it worth few grams of weed , thats all

few grams = 8th = street value around 50 bucks...therefore your speculation postulates approximately 50 USD per 1 BTC.

you seem to be ignoring the rapid price change from $100 down to $70, which is correcting back to the norm now that speculators window is closing. I believe the next course is $100-$120 which is the natural range. especially with mtgox USD withdrawals coming back, winklevii ETF and mtgox's new platform.

Yeah that's a good point, but we've been seeing progressively lower peaks and lower lows. My guess is the trend is still down and that the $100-$120 is reaching a bit far atm

The sudden drop is exactly what I'm talking about. Huge sudden changes are unsustainable in either direction. The same will happen to the sudden increase as it happened to the sudden drop.

Can't agree more with you, I foresee the price of bitcoins to correct itself pretty soon. I'm still waiting on BTC to drop below $70 before I buy again.

+1... wheres my fitty?

Coincidental. Remember when a huge buy wall set-off the downtrend? It's sort of like that, but in reverse. The market reacts (idiotically) to big players. There was no reason to shit itself when a big holder took advantage of a big "buy wall" Now the market reacts to a buyer in a "sell wall"

Big money hasn't even joined yet so it's kinda funny watching huge reactions over $1 mil or so on either side
