Bitcoin has proven it can pump hard without the need of chinese gamblers

[jtipt]

This rise is not in any way a pump, it's just normal market fluctuation depending on the current affairs, mostly because of the Chinese trading platform changing few things.   

[chaser15]

Bitcoin price movement today is not the same as the price behaviour in the past so it doesn't need much of those big hoarders activity, be as Chinese or what. Coins are much distributed now to different big hoarders worldwide.

But no doubt they have a power to start a panic that will result for a pump and dump. So my conclusion, bitcoin can pumped hard because we have different big investors now alongside with the community that riding every trend.

This seems to be the true increase of the bitcoin price based upon the market. This impact is expected to continue for a long with gradual increase in price.

I am sure in that fact that only we are, bitcoin holders, can affect on the price for bitcoin. Nothing more.

China helps, but its not the only agent

[BTCLovingDude]

i think it has been proven that there is no more pumps in bitcoin and there can not be a pump anymore. the rises and the volatility you see doesn't mean there is a pump going on.

and in fact if you think bitcoin is getting pumped then you shouldn't even invest in it because pump means a fake rise with no support and a pump is always followed by a dump without an exception!

[MatDerKater]

As we see and as some people predicted, bitcoin could still keep growing in quick bursts even if the big 0 fee chinese volume is not involved.

This legitimizes 2 things:

1) Bitcoin was not dependent on the infamous chinese market gambling for quick positive price movements
2) The uptrend is still as strong as ever and this was only another opportunity to buy cheap BTC before we go were be belong: that is, above price of gold, for bitcoin has objectively surpassed gold as a store of value.

Indeed. Bitcoin has pumped a whopping 3.2%!?

China helps, but its not the only agent

But Chinese traders are the biggest factor so far. They were behind every pump since 2013. Bitcoin price movements usually starts in China then EU and US follow the trend.
It's true that so far pumps were magnified by margin trading, but if you think that China will suddenly be reduced to second tier trading power because leverage limits - you are wrong.

Chinise whales moved to global exchanges what still not charging fee,but it will be not for long.Fee are not a matter,there is very positive time for bitcoin.At 1100$ fear appear that China will ban bitcoin,now we clearly see that China is appreciatng bitcoin technology so price is coming back to 1000$

Chinise whales moved to global exchanges what still not charging fee

Chinese whales moved to "global" exchanges that don't charge any fees? I highly doubt that. But feel free to point me towards these exchanges so I can look at how they are doing.

At 1100$ fear appear that China will ban bitcoin

Only noobs are afraid of Bitcoin getting banned in China. China knows exactly what Bitcoin is capable of, and what potential growth it can realize in the coming years. If they ever wanted to put a total ban on Bitcoin, it would have been done already, trust me.

now we clearly see that China is appreciatng bitcoin technology so price is coming back to 1000$

It has nothing to do with China "appreciating" Bitcoin that the price is going up. People just slowly start to realize that the PBOC actions are the best that happened to Bitcoin in quite some years. No more reckless gambling with borrowed money, where the price is constantly shaking from one side to the other. No more free manipulation of the markets as fees are implemented now. Only benefits.

You sure that chinese traders are sharing this opinion?
Judging by the amazing popularity of the leverage trading in China they seem to be rather upset that their favourite trading method is gone.
For many chinese traders margin trading typical way of dealing with bitcoins.

Chinese high frequency traders will of course not be happy as their major source of income is being cut off by the PBOC. Margin trading was indeed very popular. Even so popular, that the major Chinese exchanges could afford to offer their traders zero fees for their regular trading platform. Now margin trading is something of the past in China, it's time for people to realize how much we have been tricked into thinking that these exchanges were generating that much volume. https://bitcoinity.org/markets/list But this is a great win for every other person/trader/investor/holder/etc.

The current pump with the price getting closer to $1000 seems effective and its been proved as the Op's quote of reaching high without the support of Chinese market. Expect the price to get stable for a short time.

[CyberKuro]

Stop using that word 'pump', please.  These are market fluctuations,  and what we're seeing isn't the result of a concerted effort by Chinese gamblers, buyers, sellers, or anyone else.  The market just ends up doing what it always does,  which is moving up and down.

Whenever the price increase significantly, people will refer to 'pump' as they worry about suddenly drop back so hard.
Increases $50-100 a day looks significant in my point of view, and decreases $100-300 in a day, we will see another panic sell.
Happily to see the price rise again but how could OP so sure it's nothing related to Chinese regarding the market fluctuations?
I'm not so sure as China exchanges such as Huobi and BTCC has the highest price rate more than others.

Yes, bitcoin price is no more dependant on chinese gamblers and chinese market.Its good for bitcoin progress.It shows the huge demand for bitcoin in rest of the world.Its a good chance to buy btc now as its price is going to skyrocket in the near future.We can say  a big Bye to chinese gamblers as bitcoin is not going to be their playground anymore.

[wavespump]

So you think previous mega pumps were caused by Chinese pumpers? IMO you are wrong, I assume the previous pumps were caused by western countries, because people in those countries have much higher average income than Chinese. Chinese exchanges' volumes were faked, so don't naively think they pumped bitcoin, fake volumes give you the wrong judgement: bitcoin is pumped by Chinese. But the truth is not, western countries use bitcoin more widespread, therefore western citizens pump the bitcoin.

The PBOC crash happened and it went as low as $750, now we are sitting comfortably at $1020, im pretty sure that is higher than 3.2% since the chinese regulators did they thing.

Ehh, it's time to go back to high school.

[RoommateAgreement]

not only price has gone up with a pretty nice speed and percentage rise but also it has stayed up there. which is more important in my opinion.
the days of thinking it might come down are over, and all those who were saying the last drop is going to go even lower must feel pretty dumb and sad because of the amount of money they lost.

We are definitely on a new all time record for sustained $1000+ price which is amazing news. The more days we stay above $1000, the more the idea of $1000 being the new floor solidifies within the market mentality. Market participants will therefore instabuy anything that goes under $1000 in fear of missing out. Good times for Bitcoin ahead, $2000 is on sight.
