With Consensus reached wouldn't it be time we get above the $500 mark this week?


I guess it depends on what you mean by "consensus."



I was talking about this consensus. Maybe i don't read enough but isn't this the thing that gets everything back on track into 1 camp again?

The title is slightly misleading talking about miners, but the article is clear enough - developers and pools representing a majority of miners have agreed a roadmap. They've got consensus in as much as they've agreed the roadmap. But it's not until that roadmap is complete, and miners* can be seen to clearly support a hard-fork that consensus in the Bitcoin-protocol sense occurs.

* and nodes? I used to be a miner, long ago, but never really paid much attention to nodes.
