Ya 11 billion volume is not right.   3x market cap?  I don't think so.

On a zero fee exchange, the only limits to how much volume you can put out by selling to yourself are set by the connection rate...

Edit: I can't find that kind of volume on bitcoincharts.com, though. Is that traded volume or blockchain transactions?

Bullish (Notice the volume) ?

That can't be right. I get the same number, but it seems outlandish. Would any blockchain-spotters care to comment?

Why it seems outlandish ?

Let's say the sentiment is definitely bullish for now. The market will naturally move in the direction of the least resistance which seems to be up as well.

From here it is hard to see lower prices again. So yeah the bear market could be done for as more people begin to realise that bitcoin is here to stay.

I'd like to hear some opinions on these thoughts. Any takers?
I can follow you. Nice analysis. Smiley

I kind of predicted this recent rally from 220 to 300+, but I did not expect it to go this far which is really amazing. I'm bullish at the moment.

DO you agree we are done with the bear trend?

Here is what I am seeing on the long-term chart. Appears that we are in a tight rising wedge that goes back to early 2013.

The upper and lower bounds of the wedge touch very precisely in roughly 5 spots each which tells me this isn't a coincidence. We recently tested the upper bound at roughly 315 and failed to breakout. Testing the upper bound was bullish, but failing to breakout above it was bearish. In order for me to turn ultra bullish I would like to see us...

1. Breakout above the upper bound considerably to roughly 415 (area of support in April/May of 2014 which became resistance in Oct/Nov of 2014)
2. Retrace back to the breakout point to test the upper bound to see if transitioned to support
3. Bounce off the upper bound (which would be below the BTC price at this point in this scenario) and head back towards 415






Even though I am not ultra bullish, I still own some coins and think the risk is to the upside for the following reasons...

1. The 50 day moving average is now above 200 day moving average and trending upwards signaling near-term momentum is on our side
2. The wedge in the above picture is a rising wedge which obviously is better than a falling wedge
3. Bitcoin adoption and investment continues to rise while volatility continues to fall

Seems BTC has become a economic indicator. When there is turmoil in various stock markets or potential economy collapse, the price soars. When all is calm and steady the price falls and lays there.

It has yet to really be used for purchases for every day goods for every day households, as it was intended. Mostly its become a tool of speculation or an option to park cash in the face of economic downturns.

Maybe its that Intrinsic value thing again lol

Still optimistic though  Smiley

Bitcoin's value is in that it can be so easily manipulated to make it look like exactly what you're speculating it to look like. Yep economic turmoil.. Let's make btc behave like that, then bam profit. Bitcoin is whatever the popular discourse is at the time because that's how the market is moved.

It will keep being this until it is too expensive to manipulate. Or as others have suggested, just gets milked until all the players leave the grounds.
too expensive to manipulate
That's an interesting point as well  Cool
