Title: Bitcoin went out of exponential trend into linear downtrend [TA inside]
Post by: homo homini lupus on February 02, 2015, 06:26:04 PM

Below the longterm trendline since 2012 on logarithmic view. This line has been broken with the panic in January

http://oi59.tinypic.com/akd5hk.jpg

Now we can see the price moved from exponential line to a linear one.
Below you see the same graph with exactly the same lines once in logarithmic view and once in linear view.


logarithmic view:
http://oi62.tinypic.com/2vm7teb.jpg

the log-view straight line was accurate before the January crash
After that point the linear line became the accurate one


linear view:
http://oi59.tinypic.com/vrzqbr.jpg



conclusion: Bitcoin fell off its projection for megalomania worlddomination and is now a shitcoin with delusions of grandeur trading linear instead of exponential. Its fundamentals and basic assummptions have been shown to be wrong. The hype is over. Bitcoin today is as good as any other coin with such bad fundamentals. After this it appears to be wildly overvalued.

I would predict a continuated trading along the linear decending line. Bottom? Not so much ...

Enough of this slow downward trend... Getting very depressing. I'd rather have it jump around to 100 to 1000 then stay at ~250 and slowly fall down. So boring!

Well, i can show you several alts that have seen an 'everlasting bearmarket'. In crypto such a thing is certainly possible.

Just because there's a line there doesn't mean it can't go around it. I'm pretty sure the bubble to $1000 broke some trend lines. Once Wall Street got involved, a lot of the past trend lines for Bitcoin don't mean shit. It's a new ball game.

wallstreet is pipedreams. You notice correctly: it was a bubble
Question: when in history did speculative bubbles repeat a second time on the same thing after collapsing? Never.

Good luck with your short though I suspect you are a bit late old chap.

Posting a chart after the price has dropped 80% (as of today, though of course 87% at the recent capitulation low) and predicting the price will follow the same trajectory downwards is great. Let me know how that works out for you.

I look forward to seeing you posting from the same account and with some updated charts in six months! :)

why do you ignore the data before the bull ride to 1000?

I agree with the linear thing, if it up(you will agree with me if you use all time data)

Actually it's happened for a 2nd and 3rd time already with BTC.  Did you know that this is not the largest crash in BTC's history?  Actually, it's not even close (by a factor of ~4).

The logarithmic chart this guy posted has been circulating here for at least a year already, if not much longer. These charts always start around 2012.

ta is not randomly draw lines like OP did.

You could draw lines that would show the opposite if you wanted to

Its fundamentals and basic assummptions have been shown to be wrong. The hype is over. Bitcoin today is as good as any other coin with such bad fundamentals. After this it appears to be wildly overvalued.

I would predict a continuated trading along the linear decending line. Bottom? Not so much ...


awesome, you are exercising a technical chart analysis and mix it up with "fundamentals and basic assumptions".

Never, ever compare a peach with an orange! :)

And in the same thread admits he is allegedly short from 300.

The end of this bear market is going to surprise a lot of 'traders'..(but but but the line on the chart pointed down!!)

Post by: zimmah on February 02, 2015, 10:21:35 PM

This one makes more sense, the only downside is it doesn't really predict much. As the price can be anywhere between 250 and 5000 in the next few weeks.

Bitcoin is quite different from other alts, and as we all know, a lot of alts were born to scam or earning quick money.

Those lines aren't arbitrary btw, carefully plotted

I'm not saying it will all be unicorns and rainbows I'm just observing the market and adjusting my analysis as required. We are still in a downtrend primarily, realistacally we have to break out of that first.

I get fed up with haters of technical analysis coming to the speculation forums.

Its a way of speculating!!!!!

Once the next big up move starts, then the long-term trend line will be redrawn at a slightly different slope.
Conclusion:
TA is simply a tool, and strong fundamentals sometimes make it a worthless tool.

Seriously ask yourself if Bitcoin will ever trade at $10 again. That is a 130 million market cap....

It isn't going to happen.

1. Fatal flaw found, bitcoins stolen in mass
2. Total global government ban with prison time for some

Other than that finding a million zealots to plunk down $130 on bitcoin is cake.

Hell right now it only takes a million zealots to pluk down $3000 to make it work 3 billion, and if you remove the whales much, much less than that.

Probably takes a million zealots only $1000 to support the current price.

Next wave up will be so painful to watch unless you are accumulating.

Congratulations, you now have 5 trendlines that are based on another one with 2 arbitrary chosen points. Are you sure that you understand the concept of "drawing lines"?. Lol
This almost looks like the graph of @igorr... At least he was funny.

(each 1st in month new chart with lines)
Can't wait to see it.  Today is the day!

Today is 1st Jun 2014 and time for new chart,
seems blue zone is broken, but its just beginning, (not yet)
