So if everyone's expecting the price to rise, the market might as well crash

Prepare for more "whoa , this bitcoin thing is an uncorrelated asset" spam in mainstream finance. Well duh you fucking idiots, if it wasn't we wouldn't have been holding the stuff in the first place.
hahaha

very good
I wouldn't discount it...
I'm not going to bother going through all the trouble of posting my voodoo charts with strange lines and such...
But zoom out and looking at the bigger picture.. timeframe fit's nicely. Happy christmas.
Voodoo charts say BTC will rise

Or this is just an excuse to buy more Bitcoins while price is still low.

Bitcoin is at the price level of Christmas 2016

Readers tend to call me a bear when I predict a downturn in price, but I think this handle formation has just began. The recent price rise was destined, the Chinese New Year will play an important role in the price; I am seeing a surge to ~$990 followed by a correction b►c.
Yes, 990 will be a tough resistance and the price should correct to at least $920.
