Neither,

It's a chart of the price in the past.  Bullish or bearish is a statement about the future.

It's definitely got a bullish price action going on. But every uptrend ends or retraces and in the world of bitcoin it can retrace violently, especially when price rises too fast without much explanation. I think these price levels will be justified eventually, but right now price just seems to flying too high too fast for my taste. Final opinion, bullish bubble.

It's called, soon there's going to be a race to the door.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

It's quite likely that the opposite is the case. If 17 is broken within a reasonable timeframe it should run away very quickly.
There might be a red candle tomorrow but guess what happens then? Like it or not the game is on.

There are still some reservations and doubts in this forum. My guess is there is still a lot of room to go on the upside. Once everybody starts cheering everyone else to buy, then that will be the end of this bull run for me.

I'm thinking that this sort of upswing generally comes with a swift crash... once I see that, I'm in and taking profit on the recovery.

Youve been conditioned to think that. Was it on purpose?

APY's on USD have been high for some time now. Maybe not 100% consistently, but I've lent a few 50+% credits out, and always above 35%. Better than any bank!


What this does mean?

It means that people are willing to borrow USD to go long, no matter the interest rate.

Bitfinex offers Contract-for-Difference, somewhat similar to Bitcoinica.

But, in Bitfinex, the credit for the leverage draws from users, who can place offers for loans. In the last two days, typical USD loan apy went up from 20% to over 100%

So basically people are dying just to get hold of some credit for leveraged longs.


PS: you should note that Bitfinex is relatively new and the overall volumes aren't high.

I don't really care about what the USD/BTC price is,  I care about the amount of movement in the price...with an overly swift price raise (which will be followed by correction), I get in as close to the bottom of the correction as possible and then take profit on the bounce.


wash. rinse. repeat.




Will there be another dump? Probably. I should be back in USD by that point though (ready to do it again)....if I'm not, I have clear exit points to minimize any loss of profit.
