For the following days (closing prices) it will be around the following: 17.09.11: ~5.36$ 18.09.11: ~5.12$ 19.09.11: ~4.88$ 20.09.11: ~4.64$ 21.09.11: ~4.40$ 22.09.11: ~4.16$ ... I cannot predict where or when it will break through, but am certain, that this line will be the hurdle to take before a new really can start. Better watch closely!As for me: As soon as the rate breaks and holds for at least 2 days at least 10% above the line, Im all in! What about you?- knusper knusper knäuschen..

Excellent, I've also been paying very close attention to 7 over the last 30 minutes or so.

The technical analysis I've followed has worked pretty well for me. Not claiming it is the perfect.

I think the fact that bitcoins started out as worthless throws off every graph's usefulness when you include those early days.
Try drawing the bottom graph when the price was .50 cents and many more people started getting involved. It shows a whole different outcome.

On logscale charts, mind you! I think the image up there does the job nicely. How long can that line hold without things getting reeeeeally awkward? The USD could do some hyperinflation, that might help for a while, but counts as awkward IMO.

Interesting chart, though as has been pointed out, trendlines on a log scale are pretty non-traditional. But I'm not knocking it. You want to see good volume on the break above that trendline as a confirmation. Failed breakout/breakdown patterns often result in vicious moves the other way.
Edit: Just realized that upper trendline is on linear scale, only lower trendline is on log scale.

There are 7200 New coins each day.
The chart methods you use are probably not adapted to such high inflation. They are probably not made for inflation at all.

What about you?
Me? I think that in any 4-month period bitcoin will at least rally once and crash once (and propably multiple times), no matter how you whish to explain it to yourself.

If you can't explain why you decided to draw a line on a chart (ie the economic theory that supports it) you probably shouldn't post it, just saying.

Technical analysis is a way of analyzing trading action, which can and often does take on a life of its own that is largely independent of fundamentals (i.e. economic theory). To demand that a line on a chart be justified by economic theory or any other kind of fundamental analysis is to misunderstand the nature of the analysis being used. I know it seems like complete voodoo hocus pocus BS, but technical analysis really is a great tool for making trading decisions. But like any tool, you have to understand how to use it. I don't have good charts to look at, but so far it doesn't look to me like this trend line break is materializing, so I don't think there is yet any technical reason to think we are in for a sustained rally. But genuine trend line breaks are very solid technical patterns, and can, in the right hands, be used to great effect for trading - I've seen this particular pattern unfold for stocks hundreds of times.

It won't even move more than 1% in value a day anymore.

Actually, there are very sound economic reasons for chart patterns being valid. I read a book a long time ago that went into just that. Fascinating stuff.
For example, let's say someone has a long position. A stock hits a high, then drops down. "Man, I should have sold. If it ever gets that high, I'll definitely sell!" Multiply by millions and you have a resistance level.
Now, let's say a popular stock has a dip. "Man, I should have bought. If it ever gets that low again, I'll definitely buy!" Multiply by millions and there's your support.
Charting is just a way to identify lifecycles of trends and trader (but more importantly, investor) mindset. Used properly it can let you be in a position when it is likely the position will continue yielding profits and out when it is less likely. It's a timing tool.
That said, TA is mostly trailing indicators. There are very few predictive tools in the box, and the don't signal every time. When they do, it's highly likely you've got a good read on the market.
