Title: Aaand we're almost back to Mid-March level (50)
Post by: Herodes on April 16, 2013, 06:56:59 AM
will we go under 50, and how low will we go ? What has triggered the big sell off today ?

A combination of stupidity and (perhaps) market manipulation.

When you think about it, a drop to $50 (at least) is needed in order to shake out all the froth and euphoria we had going on. Unless it goes below $30 (and stays there for a while) there won't be any need for a more complicated explanation than that.

The bitcoins want my money and I'm too weak to fight them.

Don't you think at one point the decline will fall as people now see they have the chance to get 'cheap' coins ? But at what point will it happen, and will we then again see a rapid acceleration of the price again ?

After all, it hoovered at 100 for a few days, and then all of a sudden down to 50 today.

Trigger?  Can't say for sure, but the stock market and gold both took dives today.  
The Boston event?  Margin calls?  Deflationary spiral/liquidity crisis?

Seems like the price is dong some last twitches right now.

I think BTC just wants to rest now, find its cove and sleep for a few months.

A few months is too much...

Hardly. Don't expect to revisit $100 until early- to mid-2014 at the earliest. And that's very optimistic.

Can you detail why? You think 2011 is repeating?

I hope so. Confidence was crushed harder this time than last, and the next bubble, if bigger, will drop an even bigger hammer on confidence.
