Title: Whats with the $19 barrier

Why isnt the value going over $19, there seems to be a weird invisible barrier, and this I think is counter arguing the thoughts of some that itll hit $100 soon... it cant even hit $20!

The price has skyrocketed within the past few months, prior to that it usually grew at a much slower rate. I wouldn't be surprised if it slows down again really soon.

Things take time you know.  This is the first actual free market, so let's see how the market reacts.  Who knows, maybe we'll drop back to earth at like $13 to $15 or something, and you can buy some cheapies :)

If you are not willing to loose money dont invest it. After the absolutely abnormal rise of bitcoins this last two weeks its more than normal that the price is not going up for a while. Im actually very surprised that it has not gone down to $15 or so. It would be a normal correction. Im not very good at short time trading, but if it stays around $18-$19 and does not correct more it will be a very bullish sign.

There's always a sell off after a huge run up like the one we had to start the month. The fact the price didn't go back down to $15 shows that there were a whole bunch of new buyers - very bullish indeed.

It'll crack $20 today - bet on it.

Why is that bullish? What could we fear from that? Why is a correction a good thing?

It's very simple. There are so many asks (people who ask for 19$/btc) that we just haven't surpassed that barrier.  Today there's not so much movement as yesterday (1M$ yesterday, today it will be less than 400k), but btc buyers keep buying at around 19.

So the market is bullish, but there are too many sellers for not enough buyers to rise price.

Why is that bullish? What could we fear from that? Why is a correction a good thing?

Bullish means that price tries to rise (and with enough buyers, it will eventually rise). A correction is only a good thing if bitcoins are overvalued (I don't think they are).

A correction is a good thing for people who want to buy bitcoins.

Of course. I long for a 0.00001$/btc temporal correction.

Today's rally was 100% because of the weekend funds arriving from Dwolla.

I don't see the price slowing at all until the $40 mark. It'll have a little snooze, and then be up and away again.

Itīs a small market. If there is anyone who understand how this currency are working and has a little money can buy this market easily... Itīs a big point wtf makes me angry.

Back to the question about the 19$ mark: Now it will act as support for when a correction is underway.
