 There are too many threads about Chinese impact on bitcoin price  .If you watch closely , this game is happening for a month , I  just sit back  and buy when price drops and make easy profit.

Why did it go up from $380 to a little over $500? There hasn't been any good news lately.

It's a thinly traded market. There's about $+-100 of noise just from daily trading.

Not really, it was at $500, and dropped to $350 due to Chinese crap news, and it went back.

Any people from China here? What do you think about this rubberbanding situation? I think China seriously starts to hurting Bitcoin.

What's causing the trend??? Use your common sense, BTC has hardly any practical use and common people have no need to buy it. Its no longer even safe to be considered a long term investment. COMMON SENSE is causing the trend if anything.

The only sound way for BTC to have a healthy value is when it is practically adopted and used widely. So if you own BTC, try to use BTC for your transactions instead of fiat.

Whenever I use amazon, I buy an amazon gyft card using bitcoin and at exactly the same time, I buy the same amount of bitcoin from coinbase. I miss out on the 1% cash back from Discover, and may lose a percent on the bitcoin conversion (this part is variable), but usually come out ahead with the 3% in rewards points that gyft gives me.

Gyft cards come in increments of $5 so if I have, let's say, a $102 purchase on amazon, I'll buy a $100 card at gift and charge the remaining $2 to my credit card.

Sounds like a lot of work.   Amazon branded credit card gives you 3% points on all Amazon purchases.    Points where you are most likely to use them rather than on more fancy gyft cards.    Pay off credit card each month. Bam, done.
