Title: $55 the next psychological barrier
Post by: zeocrash on March 19, 2013, 01:28:37 PM
the last psychological barrier was $50. By that i mean that while people would happily spend $49.99 per bitcoin, the $50 mark would cause them to have second thoughts. Now that seems to have been shattered it seems as though the $55 mark is the next psychological barrier.

Opinions pls

That's an interesting theory.
I'm just worried about it crashing soon.

Crash or crashing should be identified as swearwords.

well the price seems to keep bouncing up against the $55 mark and there is a sharp rise in ask volume at $55.

No! The next psychological barrier is 100$.


based on what??

common sense

you think the price will just shoot non stop to $100 without pausing??

very dollar-centric theory. What about pounds, Euros, yen, etc.

When I woke up and saw the price I did not think "wow, over $54" I thought "wow, over £36". This is a global phenomena.

Look at the title of the thread: $55 the next psychological barrier.

You still live in mid 2012 where 5$ move was of significance. Now it is less than 10%. 60$ 70$ 80$ and 90$ are not going to be a psychological barrier. 100$ will be.

Stop thinking in $ terms, start thinking in % terms. 100$ is only 81% above current price. This can be taken out in one week (yep it is a bit extreme, I admit).

Psychological? No.

"Nice round number" barrier? Yes.

There are order walls at most of the "nice round numbers", just as there are supports at these types numbers.

This is what I was thinking also Vlad, why would it be 55 OP? thats far too close to be a "barrier"

Yes a barrier ever $5 increments is ridiculous.

I'm not sure where the next barrier will lie yet.

True but the previous psychological barrier was a USD figure not a GBP or EUR figure. News reports usually quote the price in USD.

From what i see of the bitcoin price, it seems to surge rapidly, then stagnate for a period, between a psychological upper and lower bound (last week has been between $45 and $50). In terms of percentages the $5 rise is still 10% of bitcoin's yesterday value (which makes for a nice psychological barrier) . It's a big growth but, despite bitcoin's past performance this year, people are still cautious in-case bitcoin drops back to the $40s

I just really hope it will be a stable course up without any surprise crashes.

bitcoin is going up big time. I am a seasoned trader/economist. As visibility and transparency increases, so will bitcoin's price. I also think enhanced regulation will increase movement away from exchanges, so in a sense there will be an above ground bitcoin market, and a below ground market.

It probably will, and we will see some kind of crash again stabilizing at $50-60 by January 2014 when the next boom/bust-cycle will start sending BTC to even greater heights.

Yes it could help to a small degree. The rise above 50 and higher has been inevitable anyway.

I think that by 2020, provided that some people attending the Bilderberg meetings(for example) don't kill bitcoin, 1 BTC might be worth in the thousands of USD. So I would set much higher psychological barriers, what we're seeing here is just the beginning...

It should be quite clear now that there are no psychological barriers. It seems right now buyers are going to buy at any price.

There will always be psychological barriers..we don't know what to do with total freedom...we need barriers and reasons to keep comparing ourselves with others...ohh, the power of the crowd

indeed, no one would pay $1000000 for a bitcoin at the moment, people seek validation from those around them. If most people are buying at $59.95 no one wants to be the first person to break $60 (i am aware that $60 has already been broken)

There was a barrier there?  lol

It did hover around 47 a tad before moving up again.  But, there isn't a whole lot of psychological barrier going on right now.  :)

Some people I've talked to are talking about $1000 as the next barrier, but I guess that's fantasy :)
