April 2013 high was at approx. $250
Dec 2013 high was at approx. $1150

So that's an increase from top to top of 460%.

If the next bubble pops at 460% of the last top, we will see a top of $5290 a bitcoin.

Think I was pretty accurate.

Probably, we are still on the "first sell off" phase. If we want to maneuver the price of bitcoin, we are all need a lot of fiat money. But I ponder bitcoin might not be maneuver by one person only. A large community of course is proficient for moving the outlay of cryptocurrency. Well, in term of the upswing? It all depends on the instances.

Remember that the big crash we previously witnessed was heavily influenced by what happened at Gox.
The next big correction/crash probably won't be anywhere near as volatile.

While the crash was heavily influenced by Mt Gox you cannot deny the rise in price was heavily influenced by Mt Gox too, this tells me we need to avoid having an exchange that big since they can anything to the price and then when they eventually fall, they will crash the price of bitcoin.

MtGox manipulation was the main reason, but at that time the media was all over the world heavily reporting about Bitcoin breaking through record after record. It resulted in a major interest peak, where people were just yolo buying themselves into Bitcoin in the hope that it would go up to $2000 and far beyond that level. Currently we are having several major exchanges, which is something we can definitely be happy with. It's not a one man's show anymore.

I agree, but the uprun won't be as volatile, too. Liquidity is higher now and it's more difficult to do that crazy price jumps like in 2013. I think we will see some new ATHs still until July, but I disagree with the graph posted by GratisBitcoin that said that we are now sitting at ~300-400 - for me, we're between 700 and 800. We're in the "Greed" phase.

I wouldn't wonder if the ATH for 2017 was just under 2000 USD (~1950-1970). That's where I sure would take profits.

Well in terms of the rise it all depends on the circumstences.
Imagine a scenario where will find consenses, SegWit gets activated and all the money from altcoins suddenly fomos into Bitcoin.
This would create a massive bubble! I'm not saying that'll happen but it is one of the possibilities.

For this year aiming $2000 is realistic and not too much. I also agree that this could a be psychological barrier which may need a few attempts to break through. Let's hope for the best!

I think $10,000 is definitely possible at some point. However, fluctuation is common with bitcoin so we could see some corrections in price before then.

Yes there are many significant differences for current rally from 2013. In my understanding 2013 was a pure pump but now it seems prices are moving with reason like with strong adoptions. A steady raise is always a preferred one and that is alone happening right now.

But in my understanding the number of whales will get diminished over time as only early massive adopters might be classified as whales. Massive adoptions with current price levels will not be possible for many people.

a million dollars isnt much to some people and it can still buy well over 1000 btc so yes ,people can still become whales fairly easily .......provided theyre already wealthy in fiat its easy

It is true that fiat wealthy person can buy more bitcoins and become whale in bitcoin also and even can manipulate the price, and the same what i thought of sentiment price of $1000 not reaching due to fear from low traders of who started to take profit from $940 itself and now the price is roaming in $880 range.

if we want to manipulate the price of bitcoin, we need a lot of fiat money. I think bitcoin might not be manipulated by one person only. bitcoin move for their manipulation of the user community bitcoin. a large community of course is able to moving the price of bitcoin.

Even I could say that serious bitcoiners don't have too great expectations about a definitive pump to sky.

Lol, yes. Still price value of the Bitcoin moving with the continuous pump from last to now. In between we had halving pump which pushed Bitcoin value more than 50% percent. Now price moving up for Christmas pump.

Garrhhhh!!! We don't have to be anywhere on that little infograph. But I don't know if institutional money is coming in or has already started to come in. I don't think so, because we'd be at a much higher price than we're at now. Bitcoin is still only like a $12bn market, which is nothing in the world of finance.

I'm not saying that graph doesn't represent markets, but if it did, we'd be past the bubble stage. We got through that and rebounded nicely. I'm hoping we're not entering another bubble. Sad

The current situation is starting to feel a lot like the big run up in nov/dec 2013. But where are we at right now?

Hmm, using this graphic picture as reference, I would say we are in the "Mania Phase", at the beginning of this phase or at the end of "Awareness Phase". BTC doesn't have media attention yet (only alternative medias on the internet), there isn't much public adoption (few people in the world use BTC yet), if things continue this way, many more people will have interest on the coin, making us reach to the "Enthusiasm" event. Considering this, Bitcoin has a prosperous future yet, we are just starting, in my opinon, we are safe for now. Wink

It's too early, I thought we still at Awareness phase where institutional investors and several region public users are joining in.
If we get media attention (not only alternative media), that would be in the next 2-3 years when the price has set stable price at least at $2000 and not drop back (fluctuate is normal). We are heading to bear trap which many, many users already intended to sell out when the price hit $1k point.

1300-2500$ looks a difficult price to reach in a short time period. This time breaking of $1000 might take place due to the increased use and rotational cycle of bitcoin among traders and users because of panic selling will help break the barrier else $950 will be the maximum peak now.

We are not even in the first bear trap yet. I think the bear trap will come once we get near 1000, people is stupid and prone to psychological numbers like 1000 because they are too round and "nice", so they will think selling it's a good idea. It is obviously a bear trap, then we start going up again, then we get media attention and we hit 10k.

I'm thinking this as well.Right now, of this actual run, we probably see the first sell off hapening at the moment.Between $950 and $1000 we may see the bear trap before really breaking out to new all time highs.
But to be honest I don't care that much about such things as I plan to hold my stash of BTC for many many more years.Therefore the short to mid term ups and downs aren't that much important to me.

I am undecided if we are on a phase of a first sellout or a stage just before the media attention. All we have to do is wait and see. We are in a momentum stage that even on a our forum people ask about the advertisement of the bitcoin. So, the moods are close to shoot up the price even further.

i strongly disagree with this chart what you imply here.
first of all we are not at the end of that line that your chart ends. we have returned to the mean (dashed line) and we have been there for a while now if you look at a bitcoin chart and then the situation right now is nothing like 2013 and we are far off from it. because the mean has gone up, so the top if you want to look at them similarly is also higher somewhere above $2000 and we get there then you are right we are back to 2013 bubble.

Doubt we're gonna see a 3x or more rise from here... delusion - new paradigm will probably be a couple hundred above ATH ~$1500

I think right now it's fairly safe to assume that we are much closer to greed than enthusiasm. Nothing goes only up in value without experiencing a decent sized correction before that. Everything that happens now is pure greed driven, where people seriously think there is much more to gain than we have been gaining in the last days. Either keep holding to see where we are heading to, or secure profits. Buying right now is something I don't think is worth the risk since the little room for profit from current levels.

Getting closer to the first sell off...

I thought that was what happened this past summer when it went down under $600.

I'd say the plays below 1100, at least referring to previous historical patterns, in the current cycle have all just been posturing and recharging during the long bear mkt since 2013. Once we break previous athletic of 1100-1200 then the possibility of the next real bull run opens up. Likely after reaching previous athletic price range there will be a dip/ resistance, and then perhaps (possibly to some degree network capacity improvement dependant, although higher mkt cap increases incentive for dev and speeds it up.) then we may see the next major bull run.
Who knows what it'll look like now that it's a more mainstream run and there are banking crises occuring and currency crises looming. The first half of next year, heck the next few years, are sure to be interesting. It'll be nice to see alts rise too, esp with increased interest, new investors and institutions.
