After the CCTV (Chinese TV station) broadcast their Bitcoin documentary, I believe the price will rise to approximately $150 within the next 10 days.

The price rise won't come into effect till end of next week as it'll take time for people to read and understand about Bitcoin before putting money into the system. Putting money into the system will take time too.

Despite the number of users signing up from China, the volume of each user will be lower due to lower incomes.

See you at the top...

Edit: The reason why I don't think there will be a massive increase in price is because the people that bought near the top of the last spike will be looking to exit and might just be looking to limit their losses.

China was in on it on the way to 266. It's the gambling culture over there that's interested, buy low sell high... they are in it for the extra yuan.

Did you actually read the translation of the CCTV piece? It's not exactly what I would call "bullish".
In fact they even conclude that it's a bubble at the end.

Even if all they do is gamble, they need to buy in first to start gambling.

Why do they need to download the clients then?

Yes, but those sites need to buy Bitcoins,too.

Okey they could bet without buying something, but that wouldn't influence the BTC price at all and they wouldn't need to download clients for that.

Seeing what this curiosity is all about. What this does is helping to establish a bottom, not make the prices rise.
People who are downloading the client are far from buying coins.

Not exactly. You can't prove this either way, but you can use common sense.
They are reporting on Chinese already involved in BTC and their stories, plus a little bit of what goes on overseas.

I suggest you also look at the client downloads and node statistics from way back.
What also helps is look through the descriptions of the process a potential Bitcoin user goes through, you can also remember your own... As I said downloading the client is a far way from buying coins.

whats more relevant are the client DL stats from today that have it up from 10k to 30k and the top country being China with 42% of all downloads.
