When will October's bubble burst?

[TERA]

I'm getting the impression someone is needing to offload about 100,000btc and is doing it somewhat carefully.

If someone would want to sell 100k we'd see a huge drop. This is just normal market behavior, with rather low seller pressure (for now, it may pick up).

There are groups of people trying to spook the market.   They sell in increments of btc and someone else buys it up, then it spooks the rest of the market into selling more.  Like a snowball running down a hill.  Then that person uses this cash to buy up the btc at a far lower price.   They are doing to this to make significant profit fast.

Not sure if the market is big enough for that. Finally it works only if the snowball starts rolling else they just loose money. And the Bitcoin seems to be quite stabil even after news like Silkroad shutdown.

Since the rise was quite fast, there is room for a drop. I believe we are in a mid-trend Fibonacci correction mode, which should take us to revisit $150-$155 before 7 days have passed. Once this is consummated, we will take the old ATH.

The moving averages are now higher than ever. The April top of $266 was so sharp that the exact figure does not matter too much. The current hurdle is for overcoming the ATH.

After clearing it, I would not be surprised to see a double to $500 before the next small correction. At any rate, our think tank estimate is that Bitcoin will reach $2000 in maximum 8 months.

Any correction less than 35% can be a mid-move shakeout. Never sell low. I exhort to just buy and not sell, until you can drop from work and start living with your bitcoins.

Well that sure would be nice! If that happens, I'll be sure to come back to note and praise the accuracy of your optimistic prediction!

My own analysis (e.g. drawing a line on a log chart based off historical numbers) resulted in $1400, 1 year from today. I like your optimism though

I would be interested in mathematical formulae/methods used or generated by this think tank.

This isn't a bubble, just a increase in price...

The bubble will burst when people realize this --  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=318046.0

Bitcoin is not currency or money!

Sounds great. We are hoping to pick up a few more coins in the next week hopefully but would love to buy at $150 or even $160.  Sounds high now but I guess that it might be a great price in the big scheme of things.

I love all your posts BTW! You have such great insight and seem to be able to remove emotion and have a logical and methodical outlook on it all.

Have you looked into master coins ( see my signature), what do you think of it?

I haven't made my mind yet. I am not early adaptor type, but when I buy, I buy big
