Someone else may beat me to broadcasting this news, but ounce.me (http://ounce.me) just showed BTC at $1207 !!

It may be that ounce.me shows a slightly higher price than preev.com (http://preev.com) and others, but I use ounce.me as they also show gold and other precious metals prices.

if you want accurate (meaning the exchange price) then check the exchange or sites that report it live from exchange.

it is 1211.1 at bitfinex right now.

preev gets it directly from exchanges and more importantly is the update rate. it updates every couple of seconds. but most other places update it with longer intervals and on a fast rising price like this you get things later.
and also some of them report average price. so ounce.me is either late on updating or is reporting average.

Price is 1200+ in every exchanger except BTC-e
Check https://markets.blockchain.info/

I use preev.com for most of the time to check price on the go and it is also showing over 1200  :o

It's at $1215 right now @ Bitfinex. I'm viewing these prices at bitcoinwisdom and man, I must say that the long wait is over--or should I say it paid off really well. Been hesitating to sell my coins since the rise to $700 and I'm glad I haven't sold them and here we are right now. ATH is inevitable, though it wouldn't stop there.

I hope this is not a psychological barrier for investors, but rather a break out point where we will see record high prices for the coming months. Once people see that we can go past the gold price, they will start talking about this technology that are more valuable than gold.

Let's hope the SEC see the same value in this and approve the damn ETF, so that we can fly!

Congrats on having faith in bitcoin and holding it for a longer time so that you could reap the profits .The price is really moving up and what is the expected resistance level in this bull run ,is it advisable to purchase coins at this price and how long can we expect this bull run.

I wonder if it's a record (I think so)

I always used "the Wiz" ..with BTCe (because i was always a BTCe trader)

http://i64.tinypic.com/28714xu.jpg

But your site interesting so i bookmarked it (i have some gold & silver and VERY little BTC + some LTC)

Oh and i have modded the Wiz page with Adblock and AdblockPlus Element hider on Firefox. (no Ads)
..and a color script i use with GreaseMonkey for ALL web pages.

Yes it already break the $1200 dollar mark and still increasing. :) This is a good news to bitcoin holder and I think it surpassed its record. It is hitting more than its all time high which is previous high of $1,163 last November 29, 2013. truly, bright future ahead for bitcoin.

That's really big. Every user of bitcoin feels a panic in the inner mind, whether the price sustains or should we go for further as an investment or for trading purpose. Somehow reaching $1200 gives every user the profit, even if its sold now. With the ongoing volatile increase can expect the price moves to stay sustained for a long time without falling back during the time when the ATH was reached in the past.

Bitcoin is always surprising us with it's price movement and for real now it's on $1,200 and I believe that it will keep on increasing.

This is what everyone is saying that bitcoin is 'flying up to the moon', 'skyrocket' and everyone's description with it is actually right.

I saw it with preev and it's also $1,207.

I would advise you to always use Preev, as their rates are always perfect. Secondly most of the trades here are done on the basis of preev rates only. So stick with preev rates, as it will be more helpful. Now coming to the price 1200$+ it's just amazing to see this run of Bitcoins. Last year it touched 1000$ plus and we all were like it will cross 1500$ this year. And it's already 1200$+ and with global uncertainty growing and growing thanks to trump policies and brexit looming. I feel 1500$ should be a reality soon, let's hope very soon.

Oh yes, we have a record. However, based on previous assumptions, it ll start tanking back to 1000 again. Unless ETF gets approved. In that case, sky is the limit.

Bitfinex just showed me that the price is $1211. I have been waiting from the morning (where I live) all the way until now, hoping and praying that the price would go over $1250, which is around the price that it crashed the last time. Still have to wait a bit longer for it to reach 1250, but hopefully it will soon, but most importantly, I hope that it doesn't crash. This has been such a great year for Bitcoin and it would be great if it could stay that way.

There's still room for another $100-$300 rise, etf decision is to be taken on 11th march. if approved as you said sky is the limit else the price goes down.

Worrying cant really be removed on each bitcoin users specially to those who invest big on bitcoin and actually i was really expecting that thing would happen because bitcoins price doesnt tend to go up and up all the time there are times it would surely drop its price again.

See it is completely common in trading history, every time it won't goes up and up and in some cases it may fall down. But this growth will help to people who still don't believe bitcoin. Really i am waiting for this price to make fortune in bitcoin history.

This is a great improvement course. bitcoin prices increased slowly and positive. more and more traders are excited and benefit.

Yeah every exchanger does have a price difference. Just choose which what you're looking.
I never thought this is will become a matter because when I wanted to know the price of bitcoin, just change the BTC conversion to dollars in my wallet blockchain.info. And now touched $ 1,205 in blockchain.info

it's above $1200 already, but i remember the peak of 2013 higher than this, like around $1260-80? i could be wrong though

this time the dump can't be under $1k anymore, the next dump should be between $1200 and 1500, this make $1000 the new bottom

Even if it gets rejected and I believe it WILL get rejected, I think they price might stay up.

Dont forget all these news attract new people into crypto and that s the whole point. Still I do not think these kind of funds will be available for at least one more year due to regulation issues.

It did touched and went over $1200 today but also I witnessed a drop of $80 in less than 15 minutes like someone is just pumping the Bitcoin price to $1200 and dump. For those who are into short term investments this is the best time to buy and sell. Price is still unpredictable but raise and fall of the price can be taken advantage.

is truly a wonderful thing. this suggests that Bitcoin is growing strongly. In just a short time, Bitcoin has 2 times reaching record prices, although then it has been devalued, but it does not stop there, it is constantly going up, and the proof is in the moment present. 12xx: D This is great for those people who believe Bitcoin and retain large amounts for themselves. he will become extremely wealthy

Don't forget to mention the miners and bitcoin hodlers they are also benefitting this price increase but mostly the miners because of the recommended fee increasing as of the moment.

The rate will come down again to normal now.. The market is stable at 1100+ for some time now and will be there for some more days in my prediction.

I guess you were right,? It's gradually descended to $1,165 but I'm hopeful it will rise again maybe later today. I have been holding a few down that I want to sell if it gains a little value after $1,200.

wow, I woke up to this good news but it seems to have reduced by $13 as its nie standing at $1.183 on coinbase. I'm going to keep watching this trend all day to see if we could skip past the $1250 today.

As always, we are rising at the so called wall of worry. you either have the nerve to keep it playing, or you jump out of the train at lower gain.

Now it's time to see who has the weak hands. Just buy and hold, buy and hold. I'm pretty sure the price will continue rising at least until ETF. And if it gets approved, we might see $2000 before the midyear.

How much of an impact would the SEC decision on the ETF have on bitcoin? If ever anyone of them is denied or all of them for that matter, will the price react negatively or will it hold and move on from there? The price has withstood the PBOC situation and if this ETF things turns out to be good for bitcoin, then we can really expect the price to reach over $1500 in a few weeks.

It is too risky to buy now, in my opinion. Buy time was last summer. I am fine with my stack at the moment and do not plan to buy any further now. I doubt we cross $1500, let alone $2k. ETF has very little to do with that. But, for what is worth, I was same sceptical about crossing $1100.

The rate might come down, but I believe not much right now. In very near future my assumptions is it will reach $1300-$1400 pretty soon.

Totally exspected, due to halving effects. If it has been fivehundreds before halving, you can experience 2x of that afterwards.

That is right. I think the price will stay above $1100.

i guess there will be many traders that getting the price when it reach under $1200 and waiting the next pumping and now the price is in $1198 and i think the price will be increase again like before. but if you are not sure to buy in that price, maybe we can wait a while to see the down trend with the price. today is a good day when i can see bitcoin price is reach more than $1200 although after reach that limit, the price is getting down too soon but there is still have a chance to gets up again.

I don't even believe that the price is tied to this. It's still more of the effect of the halving and increased projects and general adoption.

The spectacular recovery we saw after dipping to $1094 and now all the way up to $1201 shows how bitcoin is super bullish and any dips will keep getting bought. The collective mind has a way higher price before any relevant correction happens. We are considering anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000, so there is a danger in losing your position if you sell to early.

bitcoin prices really go up and almost touched the $ 1,200 price. I believe, tomorrow for sure the price has exceeded $ 1,200. the speed of price increase is happening so fast. I just hope that these prices will be completely stable in the long term.

btc is amazing, been here for 4 weeks since buying my first coin and it's like a roller-coaster, did not even knew there was an investment like BTC before. anyhow the price did fall as usual according to previous trends. but within range for another soar.

I think the price will still not touch at $1200 value and i think the price could be still stay long in this price.. or the price could be decrease soon..
Just lets hope that the price of bitcoin will not go down below $1000 if its  happen the price could be increase and touch to $1200.

What do you guys mean? 1220 was hit last night. We've already hit 1200 several times

Would be good if stabilizing there. Nobody with some experience will buy at that level. Investors don't "invest" at ATHs. We are only slow sellers at the moment.
But staying 4 digits can prove handsome to establish a notation of something beeing invaluable. The usual associations: silver, gold, enriched uranium, plastic bags full of Amazon gift certificates.

The price doesn't have to double after halving, it is about buyers and sellers. Take the first halving for example.
Remember also that with each halving there is 50% less coins left to be mined. That means more coins in the circulation and presumably more hands that want to dump it, if the price to sell is attractive. That has to be compensated by more new money flowing in, otherwise the price will decline.

if without problem about china autorized regualtion china exchanger
and SEC AND ETF in USA aprove about bitcoin, bitcoin price can easy incraese until reach 1300 dollar

There is strong resistance at $1200 levels. We hit it only fleetingly. As soon as we cross $1200, a fresh wave of profit booking starts.
We have to break $1200 conclusively - make it the new floor.

$1200 new floor? well, that is very ambitious, to say the least. we may cross it for a bit, in this or the next pump, but that has yet nothing to do with setting a new floor. Floor to me is where the massive selling would stop. For now I consider $700 is the floor candidate, yet to be tested.

Well, bitcoin really reached a high price for this time. I was really surprised when I saw the price of bitcoin above $ 1,200. Well, I'm sure that bitcoin prices will continue to rise and rise until it reaches $ 2,000 price at the end of the year.

When the bitcoin price hit the price of 1200$ per coin it always decrease fast it almost 50$ lost and still decrease there are investors of coins don't want to lose profit thats why when the price of bitcoin hit more than 1170$ plus they automatically sell their coins.

The first has been more influenced by emission rate, since there had not been millions of BTCs floating around. For a currency that got dubbed beeing deflationary by nature the inflation has been horrendous high.
Today one needs a way bigger lever to move this big mass of a $18,000,000,000 Marketcap. Only the blocksize debate could mess with it, not a single trading entity. If Segwit fails, BU stuck, people loosing patience perhaps.

That is exactly why the price has absolutely no conection (or very little) to halving. Halving may be used as a an excuse to pump the coin, but in the long run, it is as you wrote: you have more coins in circulation and thus you need each time more new money flowing in, in order to keep it going.

that's true, the next big stop is going to be 1300 dollars and i think it can be achieved pretty soon if the price does not get dumped any time soon, i hope that we are not in just a pump and dump at the moment.

it is funny to see how people say that it does not have any impact on the price, I mean just think about it, it gets harder and harder to get bitcoins while the demand increases and increases over time, then of course the price grows in a long term.

on mtgox it was $1242 @ 2013-11-29

https://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#tgSzm1g10zm2g25zv (https://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#tgSzm1g10zm2g25zv)

gox prices where higher than average because you couldn't cash out. 

In some countries (exchanges)  had shown different price too, slightly different but Japan might has the highest exchange rate right now. I just know about this site, ounce, good reference I think as it show some precious metals value. Bitcoin price almost reached another ATH than in 2013 at mtgox but people couldn't wait for sell their bitcoin. I admit the price is so tantalize and already fall to $1150 again, but if we always fall to sell in every rise, when we will reach higher point? We should be patient about it.

I agree with you. If the current stabilization continues, we might see the new all time high soon that is for me 1$ or more from mt. gox all time high. It's really different in every exchanges since the price on exchanges are based on the buy and sell that happens there where all exchanges are different. I think also that price would rise again soon so we need to be patient to earn more profit from this current pumps and dumps.

Different exchange prices are the result of the free market we are moving in. I always tend to look at the all time high of what I consider to be the most important/leading exchange, which in this case is Bitstamp. Bitfinex is leading when it comes to their daily volume, but I lost complete faith in that exchange after everything that happened last year.

There are no important differences between most exchangers... the only exception is xapo, where price was $2,250 when most exchangers were at $2,210.

Feel sad for not witnessing the +$1200 moments but maybe we will see it again soon  ;)
For ounce.me it is a good site that i wasn't aware about it thanks orobtc
The price for the moment
Bitstamp 1,151.89
Bitfinex    1,153.10
GDAX       1,154.17
itBit          1,153.22
OKCoin    1,147.26
Gemini     1,154.19
BTC-e       1,132.58
Kraken     1,155.26
BTCC       1,107.96
OKCoin    1,125.58
Huobi       1,122.38

I guess you meant $1,250 and $1,210.

I think 1200 was just momentary hike as it stayed hardly for few hours. Most probably bitcoin would stay over 1100 this coming month and may even rise over the ETF.

Looks like range trading for now - about 1200 sell, about 1100 buy. But that's only temporary for sure. Either there is another PBoC announcement to drive it down - or it will break up.

I think, for the moment, bitcoin is very difficult to survive above the price of $ 1,200. when bitcoin reaches that price, the price probably will only last a few hours, or days. I know, so many people are targeting those prices, to sell their bitcoin.

it is a bit off topic here but let me tell you that the effects of halving always shows in the long term not right after the halving. as you can see from the charts. the effect that you see before or generally those days, is mostly hype so you are kinda right. but not about halving.

the main effect of the halving is the "dump" or supply in the market. supply is not the coins available but the coins sold. and when the reward is big, the dump by miners is big hence the supply is bigger. and it halves when the halving happens.

Not sure about this but the Indians buying high for the last month sure did us wonders, might still be happening but then again there seems to be some entity selling low on the market to prevent a stable $1200 price point
