Title: Where is BTC Price Trending?
Post by: StewartJ on January 02, 2012, 08:41:02 PM
If you look at last month, we were trading at $3-$3.25 for 2 weeks and then at $4-$4.25 for 10 days.

Over the New Year, we got another $1 spike upward.

If the trend repeats itself, Bitcoin would trade in the $5.xx range for at least a week, and then shoot up again.

What do you think?

Unfortunately, I think it's headed up.  Everyone loves a winner, and this is why speculative bubbles form: a rising value attracts more buyers, reinforcing the cycle.

I say "unfortunately" because I think that it'll be headed back down in a few weeks.  Does that make me a bull-bear hybrid?

Not sure where the exchange rate is going, but I am sure that if it keeps shooting up the world of Bitcoin will once again turn very ugly. I really enjoyed the past few months without assholes, mind-numbing scams, theft, vanity, and other such qualities that short-term profiteering brings about in people.

I think we're all much better prepared for it now :).

I don't care as long as people disagree... Buy low sell high, but don't get greedy or you'll lose.
