Will the Bitcoin price peak above $10.000?

Bitcoin is in it's final parabolic phase, if you know basic hype cycles and how VC's pump and dump their assets you know the final phase is the fastest and can end at irrational heights. Several Venture Capitalists have called for a price of $10.000 per Bitcoin towards 2018, with an all time high of $7.900 it already came pretty close to fulfilling that.

With the CME announcing futures it added extra institutional fuel to the rally, what happens because of the hype a lot of traders and investors come looking to get rich so smarter traders will profit off these swings and combine this with media campaigns. They usually have the big connections to the relevant news outlets as they are big funds with a lot of capital available for these kind of things.

Currently the price bounced on a lot of volume around $5.500 and it is currently testing the upper band of the current higher timeframe consolidation range. Breaking the previous high is still very possible considering the momentum that's still building towards the CME launch, I expect price to top out before the end of December when the futures contracts expire, after that it might setup for the next move in a sideways market or go into a long time bear trend. Altcoins have a lot of opportunity right now considering the high prices Bitcoin has reached, people fear prices going down against Bitcoin but this becomes less relevant as Bitcoin closes in on it's irrational exuberance.

Bitcoin to $10,000 while Hedge Funds Flow In

Bitcoin reached prices close to $10,000 in anticipation of more regulated derivative product launches like the CME, the influx of institutional capital is at an all time high and OTC dealers should be running dry. Now where will this rally end? $10,000 has been a heavy promoted number by the larger players, usually this means their distribution is around those prices and possibly calling the target makes them credible in the future. At some point it becomes irrational to have any expectations of significant increases, smarter money will pull buy orders and the selling cascade that follows will initiate a full crash, till we see some clear reversal signals though the trend is still up. I think the public promotion of the $10,000 number though will have down pressure on the price, this will create all the more momentum.

Trading Altcoins, Pump & Dumps and The Blockchain Application Layer

Altcoins are in right now, success stories all around, millionaires in their twenties making better returns than the best institutions. How is all this possible without anyone losing? Answer: it's not. Altcoins are mostly what's called Pump & Dumps, which means highly manipulated and fundamentally very inefficiently priced. Now with Ethereum's ($ETH) business success and the creation of the Blockchain Application Layer things are only getting better. Numerous ICO's raising millions of funds for projects with no equity or ownership, just mere speculation. For young traders that just started getting a taste of the markets it's the perfect gateway drug, but on the sell side there's a trader that's been around and is ten steps ahead of you. It's the first experience for young traders of the real world. Lies, emotions and wolves everywhere. To make money in any market, there's two exchanges that take place, your entry and your exit, the differenc

Trader Psychology and the Analysis of Behavior in Financial Markets

Markets are influenced by the speculative behavior of the people that are active in them. For a long time fundamental and technical traders debated what really provided the edge in this battlefield. Recently though there has been a shift in the perception of it's reality, the fields that cover this: behavioral finance & economics. Deciding whether to risk ones money based on information with only the promise of a possible return easily triggers an emotional response and even though our outside brain cortex has given us the power to high cognitive function, science actively seeks out contrary opinions to prevent our observations becoming biased. Analyzing a market works in a similar way, you make an observation which can be anything from a sideways market setting up, to a trend in progress. This observation gives you a signal of opportunity and the decision making process begins.
