Title: When it bottoms out at 5 or 6, will it go back up or will it just hover?
Post by: Minsc on September 06, 2011, 03:52:01 AM
Just lingering at 5 or 6 for a month before it jumps to some random price.

From what I've seen, the price jumps somewhere and then just lingers and lingers.

Don't worry, it will hover a bit at 6... then at 4... then at 2... then at 1... then at 0.5... etc.

Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

CHORUS:
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

Well this is a good question. One thing that's important to note is that a change of one dollar in price is relatively a MUCH bigger deal when we close in on the smaller single digits. There is a huge difference between $5 and $6 and I think this will prove fairly critical in the near future.

We will probably see a major correction when the price bottoms out, whatever the bottom might be. To at least $7+, possibly $8+. Then it's a good question what will happen, there is a possibility of a trend changing rally and there's also a possibility of continuing decline.

But contrary to the doomsday-trolls I feel that a stable price lower than $5 is pretty much not happening, at all. I don't even think of that situation because it's simply so unlikely, the demand for cheap coins just rises exponentially going down from $7 to $4 so with the current fundamentals I can't see a price below $5. I can only see a spike below $5 but even that is very unlikely.

This might of course change and I might think differently in a few weeks but my current estimate for this month in general is positive and quite bullish. It's entirely possible that this is the last crash we're going to see in a while. But time will tell.

Thing is, people are expecting it to jump back up so they gotta rush to buy it when it hits bottom.  What if it bottoms out and doesn't rush back up so that means there's no rush to buy the coins?

buy if it goes down to 5.   we saw this happen about a month ago where it went down to about 5 for a day or two then rallied back up to ~12 over the following few weeks.

I hope it doesn't rally up now while I'm still waiting to buy.  So far none of the big buy attempts have lasted.

Ok, then it will happen again I guess.  :D
