true, I noticed he follows a pumper on twitter.. https://twitter.com/fontase

No, looks like we're seriously testing resistance at 1100.

Hard to say. We've been running in the 1000-1100 channel for a while, but I don't think that'll be long-lived. At the moment an upwards breakout from that channel appears more likely.

24h high is at 1117.80, so that's the number to watch if we do break resistance at 1100.

Hmmm, I'm thinking it's not so much 1117.80 as the fact that we are now trading under the slower moving average, and have not yet been able to break back through. So, it may just be a moving target, careful. I'd love for us to break through it, but, who knows, and, it's been one helluva a spike.

My brother asked me over the holiday (Thanksgiving) if Bitcoin goes up faster or down faster, and I replied it comes down faster (thinking about the crashes). Checked it, I was wrong. It comes down slower than it goes up, over the long haul. So this run-up is going to take several months to unwind. There's time to close out your positions, and then, take a trip somewhere nice. I'll be going to Bali for the winter 

Well, cool. I believe you've done better trading this run-up than I have (and I am too exhausted to monitor the last position I opened, so closed it). I've learned a shit ton though, especially that trading is really fucking tough. Also, that I should've just stuck with my buy from the summer and sold it now (I realize most would say 'never'). I'm planning on trading 1-4 times a year from now on. Just to realize the parabolic pushes. That said, since the price really does unwind pretty slowly, you should have plenty of time to do what you need to, if you are looking to close out.

edit: If the choo choo lights a fire and busts out, I may take another position. Unlikely, and I'd need to see some huge strength, as I think new money will look to find a smarter entry, and that we will coast tortuously downwards. Alas, no crystal ball.  

Good morning people. I thought we were heading higher within the weekend; I'm glad that I was wrong and this correction came through though. I find it "healthier" than the exponential continuance to an infinite "top" (a Gauss Bell Curve always comes down as steep as it goes up). I seriously believe that it will start growing higher until the end of the week. Slower; but healthier than before...

...at least I hope so; but since the very beginning, I'm full BTC and holding anyway

The order book has been bullish through this entire consolidation.   The asks never jumped, and while the bids were cleared by market sells, they have continuously been added to.   Even now, the bid sum is continuing to rise at a very steep rate.   At this point, while many who sold were taking profits, I think many who sold are also going to be wanting back in.   We saw a lot of coins pass to a new generation of bitcoiner, that the price is still only 10%(ish) off of the ATH, how is that not bullish?

Also, bitcoin only goes through long slow declines after a massive crash, which we have not seen, and may not.   If we do enter a bear market, it will be shorter than the one this summer.   As bitcoin matures, the crashes will be less epic, and the recoveries shorter, baring some serious negative news anyway . . .

Yep, +1...
