What exactly started the recent run-up in BTC prices from about the $100-$200 price range all the way into the $1000 price range?

Many believe it was the Chinese adoption of bitcoin and the Chinese trying to Artifically boost the value to 8888Yuan, (eight is a lucky number)

Combo of US regulators taking a positive stance on Bitcoin and at the same time the Chinese going nuts into it.

The Norweigan guy finding out he had $880k. That was pretty much the beginning of the rally. Everything else was just fuel on the fire.

Institutional investors. It all started with the creation and launch of the Bitcoin Investment Trust in September.

It was china. With chinese exchanges even hitting 1000$ way before anyone else did and news like baidu accepting bitcoins flawing all over the place. And that explains the recent drop. China drives the price both ways.

you mean the US senate hearings? the price was already at 900 (iirc) when that happened, and also it was just a hearing... only useful for speculation

the whole price rise started with china panic buying, right after the baidu branch thing

Bitcoin being more scarce and difficult to mine. Lesser and lesser coins go to small time miners.

Money launderers and algo traders who were attracted to btcchina because it offered zero trade fees and didn't require ID verification.

Some really answers in this thread. The price rise from the $120s started with real money coming from places like Second Market. It grew from there to $200. Bitstamp led the uptrend from $200 while China lagged.

It wasn't until a few days later that China caught fire.

But this rally was not and IS not all about China.

Fools repeat fools. 

Look deeper and you will see.
