It was a rushed article. The author is in need to complete the deadline to write the article. The result is a rubbish article with no foundation. And then contradicts himself at the end. Maybe he is just creating fear amongst to pressure us(newbies) for a sell-off. And the bitcoin major signals #2 has also no basis. Bitcoin has rallied and its almost touching $1400 now so this article is really dumbfounded for me. He should research more before writing another article.
I'm not sure if you've been reading the price charts, but the price is around $1240 right now.
No exchange is even anywhere near $1400 except for Bitfinex, but there's absolutely no reason to count Bitfinex because the price is influenced by the fact that they're not processing USD deposits or withdrawals - if the price is about the state of an exchange rather than Bitcoin the price is irrelevant.
