Title: growth spurts
Post by: arepo on January 20, 2012, 07:38:19 AM
recent spurts are making the price look reallly healthy. MFI clear positive trend and the accumulation/distribution line is outpacing the price.

...markets swing from overbought to oversold. the 200% increase could easily have been a correction from the HISTORIC, UNPRECEDENTED downward momentum of the falling-knife (panic-selling-induced) crash. perhaps this is a sign that the correction is over and $6-$7 is a 'healthy' price range for bitcoin. always think longer term.

i'm a bull again. went all-in BTC.

EDIT: month-scale trendline hasn't even yet been broken. also, the price is demonstrating some extreme resiliency. the Accum/Distrib line is equal right now as it was at the peak of the summer bubble, and the PVT is higher. perhaps everyone's back but much more mature? i expect strong growth this year.

too bad charts don't predict the future

No, although chart psychology can do a good job at guessing.  However, with BTC you always have to be prepared for a big splash in either direction.

Charts are very valuable as a future predictor, as you know other people are running the same analyses and using the same funny names to describe unpredictable market psychology.  You don't have to know what the market will do: you just have to know what the chartists will read into it and bet accordingly  :D

The one thing we don't know is when someone will decide to meelba the market.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=60135.0

"Meelba" is henceforth a verb.  ;D
