Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Doubling in price in half the time pattern essentially still holding for this exponential bull run ... late March 1600-1800, mid-May 3200-3600, early June insane vertical up to 6500-7200 and pop. For approximate repeat of 2013 halving bull adoption wave blow-off.

Doubling usually happens within a month for it to repeat 2013.

The low was $750, January 12. We need $500 more in 10 days for this to be an exponential run.

I'm taking the 'low' base beginning of the bull run as 200-225 in June '15, doubling to 450 around the actual reward halving in June '16 (12 months doubling time), then doubling again to 900 in Dec '16 (6 months doubling time) ... et cetera, et cetera, we shall see.

Nov. 13 did not happen in a vacuum, there was a similarly long rising build up to the final 'doubling in a week' climactic event ... and none two will be exactly alike anyway.

I'm ok with a 3 month doubling.

^UBQ adopted a pennystock trick that 10 x 1 "forward-split" your BTC so it's going viral!!!  

10 x 1 BTC? what.... ha

This ONE-THOUSAND must be our new floor.

Obviously it is, and IMHO it is here to stay for a while.

Pop? Higher or $7000 as a blowoff top?

I can not seeing it go below $1000 at this point. It shot pass it without a flinch in rolling on forward.
Just need to wait until the next economic news comes and see how it withstands what China exchanges and Trump is doing to the states economic woes have in store for the next 48 hours. If it stays above the price it is at now then it can be bulletproof.

And I would add finally!
4 sweetest digits ever IMHO. And now that I know for a fact that rich bullies are in love with BTC I'll hold onto my belongings even more. This is just the beginning.

Now people are used to the idea of $1000 it won't be going back below it again. After the next blow off top the bears will be expecting to see triple digits again, but it won't happen.

My buddy who finally is intent on buying some BTC (due to gov't uncertainty) is waiting for the 500's to roll around again

U.S. Fed didn't raise interest rates.  What a shock. The fake bull equities market continues.

How do they close all these shorts?  At what price does it start to get ugly?

[Ted E. Bare]

If I'm correct, the last ones to close will lose approximately half of their balances. Yes it can get that ugly.

[TeeBone]

I see this as a large bounce off the 750 low, we should hit the 78% retracement at 1055. But, to zoom through the ATH from here, doesnt look proportional...it's happening too quick. If this is indeed the 'handle' part of the huge cup and handle from 2013-now, then another drop is likely.

Short positions on bitfinex haven't exceeded 16k since the hack.  The current figure is about 13k.  I'm not sure where you are getting 22k from.
