Bitcoin — Comparative Bubble Analysis Short

Description

This prediction is based on a comparison with the dotcom bubble.

I wanted to compare the price development of Bitcoin with that of a previous bubble, namely the dotcom one.

I extrapolated the data to infer (an unknown) from something that is known

———

The percentages are taken from the rise and fall of the nasdaq chart, and I applied them to the bitcoin chart.

The percentages seem to be 'magically' correlated with round numbers for bitcoin.


This is the Nasdaq comparison chart:
(I used the weekly chart to compensate for the speed difference)

I think your research is great but to have a bubble you need mass adoption. Only about 1-3% of people even know about bitcoin so it is far from being in a bubble. If you look at your dot com chart, I would estimate that we are about in the market correction of late summer of 1998 if I were to pick a correlation point. Crypto currencies haven’t even begun to used yet. We are in the infancy of this market and I see it being years before there will be a bubble.

Cheers!

@longbowdon, It depends on your definition of a bubble. Fact is we strayed from the main trend-line in an exponential fashion. This is my definition of a bubble. A bubble can occur on any scale, big or small and usually is followed by a correction. So a bubble doesn't have to only occur when 'all the people know about it' or 'all the people use it'.

Very interesting! It also appears to me that cryptos "synchronize" with the Dow's performance and after the Dow closes they go their own way and re-sync in the morning. I'm learning how to use the charts but hopefully soon I'll figure out how to do the analysis. The Dow opening today is very, very important - may just set off the crypto crash too.
