That is a pretty broad range.



If we get significantly above and beyond $1,600 (on Stamp, of course) - let's say above $1623, then we are going to have a decent likelihood to be moving into testing the resistance in the $1,800 to $2,000 price territory... though it could take anywhere between a day or two or a few weeks to get to the $1,800 to $2,000 price range.

[rpietila]

There is no resistance above.

All altcoins will be replaced by sidechains.

All altcoin use cases can be superseeded by sidechains, thus altcoins really won't have any use-case. I'll prepare my popcorn once sidechains become viable.

Price target of this week; $1600-$1800.

That is a pretty broad range.

It is, and so was $1200-$1600 and yet here we are.

BitFinex is about to announce 'news' this Monday and the price is already ~$20 away from its 3d high or ~$60 from the ATH. Coinbase and Gemini are also above $1600 whilst Bitstamp isn't far from it. I think that the sentiment is still very bullish.

I think that part of my point was that the prediction range is so broad that it makes the prediction almost meaningless. 

I don't really disagree with the sentiment though.. and it is possible that that prices could bounce within such a 15% price range throughout the upcoming week.

[Lauda]

Altcoins are absurd. 99% are scams, vaporware or have no use-case. This is a full blown out Tulip Mania: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania ; Just a small heads up to those who do not know what happened with the Tulip bubble:

I don't think he meant to speculate only anything other than that the bull trend is still present and that we're going up.

[BlindMayorBitcorn]

What exchange is that ETH dump based?

It happened on Karken I believe.

Edit: But they hit Polo at the same time, and dumped not just ETH but XMR and STR and half a dozen others.

[2017Bubble]

What exchange is that ETH dump based?

Kraken, got dossed lel

They both got dossed. It was a brilliant spectacle.

^tulips trading happened around drinking and bars :-D lol ~ beercoin?

[bitserve]

What exchange is that ETH dump based?

Kraken. But it only hapenned on the USD/ETH trading pair, not on ETH/EUR.

Kraken USD order books are very thin as its mainly EUR.

Even though I mostly agree... I find it quite funny and ironic that we are here talking about Tulips when that is the same they all were saying about Bitcoin some years ago

Sure... but bitcoin is different

Second that, even though I share the idea that there will be a lot of new bagholders born. No difference for Bitcoin by the way.

Are bitcoiners the old guard now, warning about tulips and bubbles? I feel that this new money directly flowing into altcoins has never yet gone through a full cycle.

I never said Bitcoin had anything related to the Tulip mania. Whoever did clearly didn't understand anything at that point of time. Looks awfully similar, doesn't it (the more you zoom out, the worse it gets)?



Compare that to the Bitcoin chart for the same time period (full view):

[xinzark]

What is happening with Btc-e ? Used to be behind every exchange
Any idea ?

Yes, but now swap that altcoins market cap graph for the one of Bitcoin until november 2013.

In fact that's exactly the comparison they used to do.

False comparison. This is a time span of 3 months and you're comparing it to a time span of several years. Additionally, the 2013 bubble was caused by the Willy bot. It has nothing to do with the actual price of BTC (thus the chart would need to be forcibly corrected).

I'm not happy yet. I want to see ETH correct itself more, before I trust it enough to buy it back

Classic corporation/centralist shill.

When is it going to pop and who is going to be left holding these bags?

[bitserve]

Any idea ?

Yes. They used to lag behind because it was extremely dificult to make deposits there.

What has changed?

Well, now there is a LOT of money coming from other coins (eth, dash, ltc, ...) so trader there are faster reducing the spread.
