Have you ever noticed that broken watches* are never completely broken? They still manage to tell the correct time twice a day without moving a hand.



* excluding digital watches.

Did you find my posts helpful? Did I say say something nice? Your generosity is much appreciate.

How did you figure that the price would drop below $500? I want to learn.

Just like in every other case when people talk about Bitcoin price - they guessed.

True, out of many predictions, some just have to be right  Smiley

Bounce of 20 Nov low and support from 200SMA on the 12hr.....it's not rocket science. Break these and we're looking at the 200SMA on the 1D.

Does that even mean anything?

Yes, it means profit.

So there was a lot of talk on this forum about sub-$500. I just assumed it was crazy talk. I was wrong.

How did you figure that the price would drop below $500? I want to learn.

some dude had a dream of a drop before it happened. not me, my dreams are all bullish. but there was some other dude, I think we might want to give him credit for that Cheesy

I was off a week though. But it did exactly what happened in my dream.

The first time around, we went from $32 down to $2.

The second time around, we went from $250 to $50.

With such large post-bubble crashes in our history, why is a 50% downward swing so surprising?

If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

Personally I called the top 900-1200 and a crash to 450.

Unfortunately I didnt trade on any of my speculations LOL.

So dont trade next time as well, your speculation calls might have run out of luck.
At least statistically

OTOH: Chinese mania started when they broke 2000 CNY. So yesterday I said at a meetup that if you have the balls to trade then you should place buy orders around the USD equivalent of 2500 CNY. But I also said: that number is mostly a guess out of my ass. Although I looked confident and showed charts on my phone as "proof".

So price will drop to $400?

I see the mania in USD as starting around mid-$200. So we will drop all the way back there? Is this how crashes work?

I don't know what happened, but Coinbase actually dropped to $400 when I randomly woke up this AM and checked my phone.  Grabbed a few coins at that price, wish I had more fiat.

Bitstamp was at $397?

Well statistically my odds of calling it right again are the same as they were before Wink

Not that I think I have a magical power. I just speak to the bitcoin. We had a nice chat.

Same path as in the previous 2 bubbles, it went down to double the previous ATH
This is what's happening now... we are staying for while between $450/$550
If we break this trend then we will catch up at $250, previous ATH.
After that, is apocalypse for the little liberal speculators  Tongue

Very interesting! The lows are so close to 2 times the previous all time high. Wish I had known this before the crash. Smiley

Why does this happen? Anyone know? Will it likely change in the future?

I figured the bottom would be 150-200% of the previous ATH (266 at Gox) based on previous bubbles.

While it may still go down more, that seems to be fairly accurate so far.

I figure that that is rubbish. I too can make patterns out of numbers.

Sorry I picked on you to say that to, I could have done it easily to everyone in this thread, but your comment was just too much!  Cheesy

and yet a watch that is 10 minutes late is never right, but is still more useful.

Its so easy to a find the bottom of the post-rally btc crash a baby can do it .
1. Go to Clark Moody
2. Click W1
3. Look for the blue line

The only exception to this was in 2011 when the crash went on for months and then finally the averages crossed and the support gave way, but you could see something like this happening well in advance.
