The parabolic move is undoubtedly the most sought after pattern for traders and investors with huge upside in a short space of time with followed by a blow off top.
Typically there are several periods of consolidation or 'bases' which are established with increasing range between each of the moves. The final phase is a usually the most violent in its upside before a strong correction which breaks several of the previous levels of support.
I think its fair to say Bitcoin is within such a move and most likely coming to the end.
Im calling top at a maxout of this move being 20k but could end sooner. A collapse could see bitcoin return to somewhere between $2 and 3k- i would lean towards 3k
Im certainly not bearish quite yet, but we saw some serious volatility at 10k - imagine what it will be like at 20k. A lot of people will have made a lot of money and profits will be taken:
Just to put this in to perspective, lets say you bought 100 BTC at the start of the year for 100k. By 20k/BTC this will be 2m in holdings. This is enough for any average man to retire upon. Watch how quickly the libertarian hodl attitude melts away when they are literally kissing goodbye to their lottery ticket. The panic will be significant and is probably underestimated due to the euphoric feeling we all have today.
My advice would be not to short this beast. There is plenty of potential to nearly double in price. Take some profits on the way up.. You can’t go bust by doing that.
Hope you found this useful. All the best. FILBFILB

Here is another idea i posted recently which concurs with the celing on this chart.
I am not saying this is the asoloute top, but i will be very cautious above these levels.

Opposing argument is that this also happened after the epic 5-3k dump. You need to be on your toes to take action whether youre long or short!

just to be clear we have not "...broken several of the previous levels of support" in fact, we have broken none.

7.5k broken - next legit support at 5k.. although as i keep saying, if the market maker wants blood, this is the level to blow through and create true capitulation.

I dont believe there are many people buying now. There are some of the better traders remaining and able to manage 10% daily swings but the rest are either shaken out or they are liquidated. If the market maket has accumulated enough BTC it wont take alot to push us to 5k, which if it were to break, we will complete the dump to 3k. I personally hope it happens because it means i can reaccumulate more btc cheaper.

Some other commentary which is useful here is to remind ourselves of the fundimentals at play; namely the cost to produce a Bitcoin.
Clearly this is a difficult thing to model and i will have a go at working out the weighted average cost at some point.
Im attaching a link below to some work which was done relatively recently to work out the cost of production. The Chinese miners are looking at c. $3-4k marginal cost to produce.
Bearing this in mind and just thinking logically; from a purely finance point of view, what a prudent mining company (btc or other) would do when planning production, is to hedge future production plans either partially or in full via futures markets or swap contracts. I have experience in this field as i used to do exactly this when working in finance for a coke and coal production company. If a company has committed to the investment of the capital required to produce the bitcoins (i.e. the miners) then they will short the futures market agressively, particulally when the futures prices are greatly above the cost of production in order to lock in gaurenteed gains. This has particular consiquenses when there is also other supply side issues like the mt Gox coins and demand side issues like the public losing interest due to dwindling prices. It is reasonable to assume that there is a floor price which will be met in a market which is largely dictated by supply. Miners will contract their supply somewhat if the marginal cost then begins to exceed production.. simple economics therefore would suggest that there will be a self corrective mechanism which would keep the floor price around the cost of production which by all accounts appears to be $3-4k.
For this reason alone, this is a great place to have speculative bids in my opinion.
The Parabola suggest you ultimately break multi levels of support quickly.. this hasnt happened as expected. Still expect to revert to the mean but due to time taken it will be higher than the 3k i though it would be. Yellow zone is now my target for reaccumulation.
Complete nonsens, stop spamming same analysis over and over again, it WONT happened btc go to 30k to then fall to 3k, thats not how finance work start get a clue instead of fishing noobs you pathetic guy
