My extremely amateur short term forecast for BTC is UP.
This is based slightly on the topic at hand, but also on the 8/18 EMAs crossing on the 12-hour chart (whatever THAT means)

i think for ever point the USD goes down bitcoin gains 2 points  Wink

it should be noted that the USD is still holding up pretty damn good despite QE3

Indeed.  DXY is above 80 and climbing.  Dollar supply may be inflating, but nominal value (measured in other currencies) is gaining because everyone else is inflating their money supply too.

exactly. the fiat currencies of the west are fighting each other on a sinking ship.

Holding everything else equal, inflation in traditional currencies should directly increase the value of BTC.  A secondary effect of increased BTC demand will also lead to a more favorable exchange rate from BTC to traditional currencies.  That is, if more people who perceive that bitcoins  retain value better want in on the action, then they will compete with each other to get BTC, which drives up the exchange premium.

DXY is based on other fiat. Horrible indicator as far as strength of a medium of exchange when all central banks are printing to infinity.



I agree, but it does indicate relative strength of various fiat currencies, which was the topic we were discussing.  As always, thanks for your contribution smoothie Wink.

So if the US economy has to print more $$$ to deal with this fiscal cliff I've been reading about in the news will the inflation of the USD cause an increase in BTC price? Or are BTCs relatively pegged to USD?
