Any reason for the small pop in price?

[nextgencoin]

Its not massive but there is a small pop in the price around 7.5% but its significant cause it breaks out of a narrow tradin range we have been in. Im not interested in the speculation just wondered if there has been any news that has caused it?

Probably just a speculation/artificial pump. There are no noticeable positive news to justify it.

Good to see price going up, but there's nothing to get excited about.

People buying coins.

People buying coins.

That is the most probable and obvious reason.

Coinbase getting traction, winklevii secret launch on the 16th of March.... Who knows?

There was something about a major poker site which is getting ready to accept btc. If they lead the way, gambling could be huge for btc....

But who knows?

Which site? Where did you see that news?

But if true, I don't think it would be that big to cause price rise. Accepting BTC along fiat is not that big of a deal, good for promoting bitcoin but wouldn't create a demand for it.

Wow if this is true that is awesome for BTC, poker industry is massive and the good thing they will not have much of a challenge adopting it both players and sites.

Cant believe never thought about this before.

I think there isn't a valid reason, it is only a pure speculation at the moment.

There doesn't have to be. Markets move on supply and demand and not much else.

How much of a reliable source is this usually?

It says based on inside information not sure about that but who knows.

If it's true then Bitcoin is about to get an influx of new buyers this year!

Seems you are talking about Seals of clubs updating their site and the software used. I doubt that has anything to do with the price increase.

It just seems like regular market noise to me. Nothing remarkable just yet.,

I think I'm gonna say it was this one.

Yup seals has nothing to do anything with the price increase. Not everyone in bitcoin is a poker player that they would purchase thousands of BTC due to that news.
But it might be due to another poker site pokerstars accepting bitcoin. But I doubt thats the reason either.

[tspacepilot]

I love seals but the fact they're making new software (and the fact that they've been down for 2 days) definitely isn't the main factor behind bitcoin price, ha!

Talking about news driven, I expect a drop after the MyCoin incident in Hong Kong but I'm glad I was wrong on that. Price increase could by buoyed by buying demand and it's definitely not a pump here.

I think it may be the google payment system implementing bitcoin, news

Bingo I think you might be right. It's annoying this got moved to speculation cause I wasn't wondering about the price move but the possible News that that be causing it.
