The market is oversold now and then some. It should continue to $7.5k given the 'capitulation' that is happening in the market."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

This is a good test for everyone. Ignore the dollar value. I know it's hard to take the focus away, but this is how I miscalculated so much during 2017. Had I traded on the BTC value rather than the daily $ value my portfolio would be multiples more.
In the months to come you're going to see alt's grow in Satoshi value by stupid percentages. When that happens, you put the gains into BTC. Together we're looking at two sale points. Before the Summer begins and then sometime in December but before Christmas. That's why I cashed in 2/3's of my portfolio last year at the same time, and have done well out of it.Comment

Can't believe that Crypto has dragged me into candlesticks and trading indicators - early last summer I thought a candlestick meant wax.Comment

Why is it worth $20k? $10k or even $1k? I cannot answer that question, I just don't know how to put a "fair" value on a BitCoin, so therefore I cannot tell whether its over or undersold.
Unlike a "real" asset, a "Share" pays a dividend, a "Bond" pays a coupon", "Fiat Cash" pays interest and you can easily convert it into material goods & services it doesn't look like you can actually do anything useful with a BitCoin accept hope that it goes up in value. And that's not a good strategy.
All investments are driven by sentiment to a certain degree but Bitcoin is driven by entirely by sentiment. What is going to happen to change the direction of travel? At the moment only negative stories are emerging. Bans in countries, fraud, Ponzi schemes and robberies ( how much was stolen from that exchange in Japan? $400m. The worlds biggest bank robbery by a factor of 10! )
All other assets have large government institutions behind them to try and arrest any slide. BitCoin does not.
I just don't see what is going to emerge to stop this current slide in the near term to medium term.
I firmly believe that predicting future prices is a mug's game and that anyone who makes any claims to know whats going to happen in the coming year is deluded. With that statement in mind. My prediction is $4k by the end of February. My prediction will, of course, be wrong. But whether it's too optimistic or pessimistic I don't know.Comment
