I would like to add some of my own insight. I talked to ATC here recently and we seem to have a good fix on the market. ATC is a day tarder and he is a lot better with detailed emarketing standpoints were I am more of a psychological/sociological spin on his statistics. I normally leave the explanations to him, and help him more behind the scenes but I will step out of the shadows and give my input.
However, there's another scenario which might take place. It might be that there's still enough money on the sidelines to drive this higher. If that is indeed the case, we're probably going to see the alternative crash scenario play out. The final "oomph!" before the blowout. Much like silver's huge over-night jump before the 2011 correction, we might see bitcoin tack on another +$25 and reach for the $100 mark (a key psychological level). If it plays out this way, the following crash will be much worse and longer-lasting than if it just goes ahead and corrects here. The reason is because a LOT more people will get burned a LOT worse and lose a LOT more money. So it will scare off a lot of newbies and people will be scared to re-enter the market for some time. So I hope it doesn't pan out this way.
In 2011 we saw a somewhat similar situation except on a much smaller scale. There were less Bitcoin participants and a lot less capital invested in Bitcoins. Not to mention Bitcoins were going steady at $10 or less. The price surged up due to a article seen here-->
http://techland.time.com/2011/04/16/online-cash-bitcoin-could-challenge-governments/ Which brought in a lot of new people causing an influx in sale volume which in turn drives the price up. We have seen that here recently as well, however as far as I can tell it is more due to people noticing a stable environment to "get rich quick" invest 10k and get 20k back in 2 days. Well eventually people run out of money to keep throwing into the mix.
And something like this Happens
Nearly 160 THOUSAND Dollars worth of sale volume and the price surged to ~30 USD per bitcoin. But look what happens when it falls! Not even enough sale volume to put it on the map.Bitcoins plummeted this is an auto correct in the very nature of trading. It is human nature to want more money. Money is the key to everything. The normal train of thought also show us when to hold our money to save it. But there are other contributing factors, Take for example somewhat at a Casino. The average person loses terribly and walk away. Then there is another small percentage that wins big by cashing out at the right time. As seen in the previous chart between the 12
th and the 17
th maid a profit even if it was a slim one. Like ATC said here:
We've all made a lot of money, and no one has ever been hurt taking a profit. Profit is money you didn't have before, and now you have it. So take it off the table and enjoy it
So I suggest learning from past mistakes and making that little bit of profit otherwise you will be feeling like the people on the 21
st through the 24
th with no one to sell to (Hardly any sale volume at all, Newbies moved out along with a lot of the big money)
