A link to an article.

Great to read with a coffee before trading night Smiley
And not only for traders, but worth reading for all of us.

There are a number of factors claimed by market-movers, observers and everyday investors as to what exactly influences the price of bitcoin. However, one new study has analyzed key drivers in the bitcoin market, and its findings could have an impact on how investors approach digital currencies in the future.

sounds interesting? Because as we read it more it is very interesting indeed. I wont tell you all details as I will ruin whole article.

This is best article from Coindesk that I read since few days.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I really would like to know if the multitudinous central bank decisions have an immediate effect on bitcoin price.  Seems like the ECB decision today to offer less-than-zero interest rate loans should put bitcoin at about infinity euros with proper arbitrage.

“What are the main drivers of the Bitcoin price?”
Markets are much more simple than most "experts" will admit.
Greed and Fear do the most to determine the current price, while fundamentals set the long-term trend.

Speculation ie greed and fear is a big part of it for sure. The exchanges are just like a stock exchange in many ways.
