I was just questioning the "trending up" comment that was given without much of a justification. You can add "by 33% (20kUSD) to the "down from its peak" if you prefer. > IMHO the recent volatility is mostly due to political factors rather than the market. If that's accurate, that would indicate that this volatility is not bound to disappear anytime soon. Still, given the incentives to manipulate the market for a profit and the presence of actors such as Tether, I wouldn't discount manipulation as a big part of this volatility.
