Stop making arguments as if everyone is a long term investor trying to get the most out of a single trade - some of us like to trade the huge volatility swings also. I personally intend to have MUCH more than a 350% gain (to your 3000) by the end of the 2014.
no argument. How does this chart help you as a short term investor? I sense some hostility. Is it regret for not hodling?
It is a logarithmic chart spanning the whole history of Bitcoin.
It is showing you how Bitcoin moves within channels (my private chart now has Fibonacci channels all over and they just line up to perfection).
It's not really meant to help you in the very short term, though still, if you are an order book trader you can easily use it (I'd encourage even more channel divisions) to pick sell and buy spots where you simply put your order and then patiently wait. Probably one of the safest forms of trading if you can muster the patience.
