It looks to me like he was just showing positions 11 through 20 in a faded out color

Oh yes, I think you're right.

So it was last month gets put in bold, black for pos 1-10 or grey for pos 11-20?

The "classic" one had days older than 7 (or 10) fade from black to light grey, but still be thick type.  After another 7 (or 10) days the text for that date was presented in ordinary type.  So 4 categories in total: today, last week (or 10 days), last 2 weeks (or 20 days), and older.

Could you quote an example of this please?

It looks to me like he was just showing positions 11 through 20 in a faded out color, like this:

9. 2013-02-16 W. Avg: 27.16
10. 2013-02-15 W. Avg: 26.99
11. 2013-02-18 W. Avg: 26.76
12. 2013-02-17 W. Avg: 26.40

Note how #11 is newer than #10, but is faded out because it's not in the top 10.

Very cool. Was thinking it might be nice to have different years have diff color font to help visualisation a little bit.. But anyway interesting way to look at the price. Thanks

Well, we really only have two "years": late 2013, early 2014, and late 2016, early 2017...

bitcoincharts.com seems to be working again. It has $1013.00 for the #6 price on 2017-01-02, whereas the other site says $1013.01. I'll be switching back to the bitcoincharts.com prices from today.

Edit: here's the (bash) script I wrote that generates these reports:

Code:
vwap() {
    days=1200
    top=20
    rows=$(wget -o/dev/null -O- "http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/chart.json?m=bitstampUSD&r=$days&i=Daily" |
                  sed 's/], \[/\n/g'   |
                  head -n $((days-1))  |
                  tr -d '[],'          |
                  awk '{print $1, $8}' |
                  sort -k2nr           |
                  head -$top
        )
    newest=$(echo "$rows" | sort -n | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}')
    printf "Update:\n[pre]\n"
    n=1
    echo "$rows" |
        while read t p
        do
            if ((t > 1400000000)); then b1="[b]"            ; b2="[/b]"    ; else b1=""; b2=""; fi
            if ((t == newest))   ; then c1="[color=#7F0000]"; c2="[/color]"; else c1=""; c2=""; fi
            printf "%s%s%2d  %s  %7.2f%s%s\n" "$b1" "$c1" $n "$(TZ= date -d @$t +%Y-%m-%d)" $p "$c2" "$b2"
            ((n++))
        done
    printf "[/pre]\n"

Looking back, the most recent day used to be distinguished (dark red colour), which was nice.  Any chance of having that again?

Sure!

2013: 7th highest 10 days after breaking into top 20, with 8 days in top 20.
2016: 7th highest 10 days after breaking into top 20, with 9 days in top 20.

Looks like today could also be #4, which would be a carbon copy of 2013.

According to BitcoinWisdom Bitstamp high for the 1st Jan was 1005$ at 23:00.

Right, but this thread is logging the "volume weighted average price" for each day. A single small trade at 1005 is enough to put the high at 1005. I think the volume weighted average is a more useful indicator of the "real" price for the day.

Edit: The VWAP is where you multiply each trade's price in USD by its volume in BTC, add them all up, and divide the total by the total volume in BTC for the day. That way big trades have more effect on the VWAP than small trades, as they should.

All right. Excuse me, I've just stumbled upon this thread and didn't really pay attention...

I used quandl.com since bitcoincharts.com seems to be broken.
