Guess what: most intelligent people understand that government and public services are a good thing, and that taxes are necessary to have them.
That's condescending as fuck. You're trying to imply that, agreeing with public services and charging taxes to fund them, is a prerequisite for being intelligent. That's absolute and utter bullshit. BTW people please don't think he represents academics in general. I'm one and I take great offense. Fact Check: see how Libertarian candidates do in US elections. Most people vote for the Democrats and Republicans - parties that support taxes and public services. Second fact check: the majority of US professors are liberals. http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2012/10/24/survey-finds-professors-already-liberal-have-moved-further-left#sthash.A8ga6kGk.dpbsThird fact check: I'm not from the US.

Does this look like a Head and Shoulders forming to anyone else? and does this mean the downtrend is in reversal.. does this imply up from here?? Interested to hear other views.. To me, following the breakout, and going north of 500, this is yet another confirmation of a reversal. All bullish signals. EDIT: I'm not expecting rally speed up.. but a nice drift gradually upwards would be nice for now.. interspersed with a few legs up here and there as more take the plunge or get fiat to exchanges.

Yes but on a 5 minute chart I wouldn't call it a real "signal" that a true reversal is in, especially after a 6 month downtrend. Show me a head and shoulders on the 12h and we're talking

As you can see, i pulled it from bitcoinity, it covers 24hrs.. Here is the corresponding image from wisdom, over 12 hrs.. it still looks like it could be H&S forming.. EDIT.. So, we talking yet??

No lol, that looks nothing like a head and shoulders just a $90 rally!
It would look just like your bitcoinity chart but on a 12 hour scale.

Don't really understand what you are trying to say. head and shoulders patterns are bearish. No they're not, they're either. A sign of reversal as it were. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_and_shoulders_%28chart_pattern%29"Head and shoulders formation occurs when a market trend is in the process of reversal either from a bullish or bearish trend"

You should look for head and shoulder patterns on larger timescales for it to actually be meaningful. Also this one you showed would be a bearish signal not a bullish one. Inverse head and shoulders are a bullish signal for a reversal of a downtrend, like this one for example:

Ok, inverse = bullish.. regular = bearish.
Thanks for all your answers. I did suspect that i was looking at too short a timescale, but you never know.. (fractals of) patterns can appear on almost any timescale you care to look, so i just threw it out there.
Thanks again for your informative replies.

Am feeling positive, but let's see if Monday sees new fiat coming in and supporting this move.
I think after such a long dreary period it will take more than this to bring enough new fiat in to sustain "The Big Rally" we have all been waiting for.
Yes, it's a good start, but another 50 bucks up and we might see the sleeping piles of fiat taken off exchanges in the past few months coming back in.
Then we will have our climb, it will become self-sustaining quite quickly. The awareness of BTC is so much wider now - so any real rally will be of an order bigger than ever if those now aware think it is really happening.

It is called an inverse head and shoulders. And it is not what is shown.
meh semantics. You said head and shoulders were bearish but they're not they're either the fact that they can be split into head and shoulder top and head and shoulders bottom doesn't qualify the statement of "head and shoulders are bearish" But I agree thats not whats shown.

Head and shoulders are a bearish pattern, it signals a trend reversal and a drop incoming. Traders often sell when the neckline gets broken after the right shoulder which confirms the pattern, so that's bearish no matter how you look at it.

Yes its a possibility, especially if it was a sell wall for a while, could have bought at either of those sent it there and then dumped down to break even price after worrying the price was going to continue to drop.
