Well, now all major ATH's have been broken, Gold parity too. We can close this thread now
(Oh wait: The CNY 8.888 ATH still holds
But it is from 2017 not from 2013)
Post-ATH analysis:
There was less resistance at the MtGox high than I expected. So I think the majority of traders have considered the Bitstamp ATH of $1163 the most important one - we saw that in January there were successful shorts at this price mark. But at the end, the uptrend proved to be stronger than all resistance.
I think above all the ETF speculation should have paved the way to the new highs. It is very rational to think that an approval would mean at least a 30-40% increase over the ATH, and that a disapproval wouldn't lead to a crash that couldn't be recovered that year. (My prediction is: in the case of an approval, we will near the 2000 mark, and in case of a disapproval, a crash to 780-900. The only thing that could lead to a longer bear market is a continuation of the SegWit stalemate.)
