For the forseeable future, I'll try to keep the chart updated (in this thread until it finishes, I guess). Before the chart though, some numbers:
Today's open was USD 5.0, slightly (+1.0%) up from yesterday. This relative stability is expected as long as the calm period beginning late February lasts. 365 days ago, on 2011-05-03, the open was USD 3.2, significantly (+5.5%) up from 2011-05-02. This massive gain was not unprecedented; in fact, on 2011-05-01 the open was USD 3.5. Significant increases continued for the next day of May, +6.6% on the fourth. On the fifth, a slight decrease occurred, -0.1%. The sixth brought a moderate decrease, -2.1%, before another significant increase occurred on the seventh (3.5%). In total, the increase for the first part of May is not substantial enough to permit a likely passage through parity.
If our stability continues, it will take until 2012-05-10 to finally hit parity (and, because of the inflated open on that day, surpass it by far). Past that point, we will likely not return to a positive 365-day change until after the June 2011 bubble pops; even then, it will take a very long time. A resurfacing is possible in August, likely in September, and barring a cataclysmic event for Bitcoin nearly certain by November.
Without further ado, here's the chart reporting about today's slight slide (but still a good 50% buffer). It won't go much lower until the 10
