Top 20 days for Bitcoin

[dree12]

Still doing just fine. The last week has consistently featured price increases (with a few exceptions), and we're now approaching the price two days before the April peak.

There was nothing interesting in daily weighted averages. Here's today's; it remains relatively uninteresting. With some claiming the bubble has popped, it is possible we'll have to wait a while before we surpass April 9.

Here's something marginally more interesting: weighted average by day of year. This data is uncorrected. Thus, all sorts of anomalies such as the end of data series, switch from Gox to Bitstamp, Gox trading freeze, February 29, etc. are left as-are.

[Kikkerdril]

There was nothing interesting in daily weighted averages.

I think it is very interesting to know there were only 3 days with a higher daily weighted average then 2013-10-24. Anyway, thanks for these overviews, I appreciate it very much. Where do you get these daily weighted averages from?

[dree12]

Daily weighted averages are computed independently based on Bitstamp USD Volume / Bitstamp BTC Volume. Before June 10, 2013, Mt. Gox weighted averages from Bitcoincharts.com were used.

Nothing interesting with this. It's just an alternative presentation of the recent bubble

[BitchicksHusband]

Actually, there may be something interesting in this.  The run up in April may have been solved as being as simple as people getting their tax returns back and investing large amounts in BTC.  It will be interesting to see if 2014 follows the same phenomenon.

If you look closely you can see the June 2011 bubble as well .

[ekiro]

Going a bit more in-depth, we have the king effect clearly seen in Bitcoin prices:


The king effect means that when Bitcoin goes back up above $30, it will either continue to rise before a sizable collapse, or collapse immediately. For example, all of the following are plausible scenarios:

• Price remains below ~$25, with stability
• Price rises above ~$25, then quickly collapses below ~$25, with some stability
• Price rises above ~$25, then continues rising to around $40 before returning to the $25 to $30 level, with little stability
• Price rises above ~$25, then continues rising to far above $25 before collapsing but remaining above $25, with almost no stability

The king effect means that it is unlikely we will see both new highs and stability. One has to go.

That's cool. Learned something new.

I like watching the Aprils slowly creeping off of the list. Only 7 left! Unprecedented stability in this price range.

[windjc]

I like the use of MBTC.

Rep for being one of the first to use this.

Once we pass 500, I'm in the bandwagon to change it on the exchanges.
