Bitcoin just hit $465

[Jcastle]

We will hit $500 by end of next week...$1300 by halving....brexit vote on June 23...if Britain leaves the Euro...bitcoin will hit $2000-$3000 by end of 2016.

It looks amazing this current trend in the bitcoin price. A consistent increase after a prolonged stability is a good sign to wait for a potential bullish trend, but I am not so optimistic to talk about $2000 at the end of this year.

A whale trader at Bitstamp got a bit too excited with his buy order I guess. These peaks are quite rare on Bitstamp nowadays. Usually Bitstamp is always following what other exchanges are doing and then start showing some action in the price as result, but not what it did today.

The very same 'whale trader', also fired a 2500 BTC market order into Finex's Ask wall, at 20:12.

Whoever this was, simply wanted 5K BTC, at around this pricepoint.

No one knows what will happen, but your timing is very fast. I don't expect so high prices this year.

Lol you are taking too much steps.
End of june 500 - 550
Brexit 600
End of this year 700

And this project is actually very optimistic.

I don't know if it's the same whale, but if it is, then it can be seen as a good sign as he/she went in at current price levels. It means that the whale is expecting the price go up further than it has been going the last days.

Two 2K+ BTC Market Orders, both executed at 20:12 UTC.

What are the chances?

It is the same whale entity for sure.

It is hard to 2nd guess whale shenanigans when we see them at work on exchanges. Who really fkn knows? I remember on the crash from $500 down to $300, there was 3K BTC Ask Walls going up on both Stamp and Finex, and even huge walls on Kraken...I remember permabulls on this site rejoicing in the Wall Observer thread, but I remember me thinking "oh fuck, this is bad, those walls been put there to be devoured". Of course, one can never *know* for sure, otherwise you would just short, or sell, etc....but on this occassion, true enough, all walls on all exchanges were devoured all at once, within 30 seconds....

So simultaneous 2K Market orders across different exchanges, are signs that whales are active, but what their intentions are, only they know.......That 5K (in total) of BTC won't be expensive BTC if they plan on dumping it $10-$15 further up the charts. Who knows? All I know is that as a trader, when I see big players getting up to monkey antics, I get very nervous.

Let me guess, you were shorting ?

[PapoXxX]

your predictions are nice but i dont think that it will hit 1300 or bypass the mark of the 1000

[popovicbit]

Why the sudden rise??? I think the price has been steady just long enough to lull everyone to sleep and we should be back in the low 400's after going up a bit more.

Or it could be a legit rise before the halving that we have been waiting for. Who knows...

[Yakamoto]

I think that is a relatively good analysis, however quite optimistic and you're likely overstating the value it is going to have by the end of the year.

It is entirely possible to see $1,000 by the end of 2016 if the value keeps the momentum it currently has, but if it peters out then there is likely little chance of Bitcoin breaking $900 this year.

[Razick]

We [could potentially] hit $500 by end of next week...[maybe even] $1300 by halving....brexit vote on June 23...if Britain leaves the Euro...bitcoin [could conceivably] hit $2000-$3000 by end of 2016.

There. Fixed it for you. I completely agree with my revised version of the OP.

[vero]

We will hit $500 by end of next week. "agree" We will hit $1300 by halving "not agree" i can't imagined just because halving the price of bitcoin up highly to hit $1000++

[andrew24p]

I call bullshit on a $2,000-$3000 bitcoin with a brexit. You are talking about 36 Billion dollars on the lower end entering bitcoin in such a short span of time when it is still relatively hard to to purchase and secure coins. Maybe if we had a mainstream financial products that allow you to store and secure coins effectively without technical knowledge but until then I don't see us getting access to that amount of money without mainstream adoption which I dont see us getting until we can provide mainstream financial products to speculate/own coins without having to secure them yourself.

[DaddyMonsi]

Looking at coinuts index coinbase have the highest rate so far with 462.75 and Huobi CNY follows with 462.68
Okcoin have the lowest so far at 457.74
Looks like its a bright weekend for everybody holding Bitcoins for a long time

It looks very interesting to read your quote, at the same we are not sure of the reality. If this comes true most users here will becomes rich. Lets hope for the best by the coming days.

i doubt it would need 36 billion dollars to get the price to a $2000 level. it would need muuuuuuch less.

Bitcoin is rising again and that is a good thing but I do not think that it will go that fast. We will hit $500 any time soon I am sure of that. But I am not sure that it will hit $1300 and higher.

[Bitcoinbro]

Yeah Bitcoin is on its way to hit $500 right now, it is going to happen soon I believe that it will hit $500 with in Mei. I hope that it keeps rising and does not make a sudden drop like we have experienced in the past.
