Doubtful that we'll get any quick run up any time soon.
I'm really afraid that since bitcoin got attention of Real Traders and at the same time there is no Willy anymore, we can't expect jumps like few hundreds % per a month ie. This time has finished.
At the same time market is flooded with many new coins - so, really don't expect epic rises.
Just used to trade with more limited expectations - 2-3% gain/per day is quite enough profit.
Since everyone has seen before that those at the top of these price run ups are the ones that make the money it becomes a race to be the one who sells at the top. Thus making each run up get shorter and shorter until there are none. Which is ok over time for a serious currency.
The other thing is that this small group of whales was hoping that their pumping would attract other, larger whale players to join in. That's exactly what happened in 2013. Which is the reason rallies in 2013 went so high, and then high volatility (coordinated trading) during the bear market. And why the bear market took sooo long to deflate in 2014.
Well for whatever reason, that didn't happen this time. So this small group of whales failed to attract other bigger whales. Also, all buying pressure and volume completely ended on Nov 4th, the day before the USM auction. That was a BIG giveaway that this run up was simply engineered around that event. They also failed to attract Average Joe, who has become skeptical and completely apathetic to bitcoin price run ups.
I do believe, however, that we will eventually see another Bitcoin event year like 2013. If you notice, it coordinated perfectly with a U.S. stock market bull run in 2013. So keep your eye on the U.S. stock market. Btw, statistics say that during election years, the U.S. stock market has around ~86% chance of having a bull run instead of a bear run. And 2016 is an election year. So maybe next year is the year, who knows.
