This could be the “buy the rumor” phase of “Buy the Rumor and Sell the News” if the price hike is related to anticipation of the bitcoin futures trading.

In that case it is logical to predict the big drop once the futures actually start trading on Monday. That is unless the short-sellers amass, with inevitable squeeze pushing the bitcoin price up even more.

Are you a gambler? The odd are two to one, bitcoin is going to be even higher next week.
