If you ask Warren Buffet, he will have a very simple answer Greed and fear.


^ This.

Bitcoin Going UP = Greed = BUY BUY BUY
Bitcoin Going Down = Fear = "SELL SELL SELL"

On a sidenote take an appointment from dr.fontas he will tell you more about pumping/dumping.

The thing  you are  talking  about is the   after  effect of  change  that happens. i.e. greed and  fear  only comes into  effect  when the  curve  either  dips  down or  up.  but  what causes  the  curve  to  go  up and   down  are  many. Most  of them  being  over supply or  under supply.

this  case  can  be better  demonstrated  with the  recent   drop in  BTC. this  drop  happened  because  of  a  sudden  supply  of  ASICS  in the  market, a  small number  of  people  got  the  ASIC's and  started to mine.  they  earned   a  good  number  of  BTC .  however  the  BTC  is  useless to them  unless  they  get  services  or fiat.  this  sudden rise  in  supply of  BTC  in the hands  of  a   few  increased  supply. there  for  the  prices  started  to  drop  because  of  a  few  who  needed  to offload the btc.

My prediction  on the ASIC arms  race  is that  this  will  only  bring  down  prices.  may be  in  another  3 months  it  will stabilize and  go  stable  for  another  2-4 years  till Q-chips  start's becoming  viable  to mass produce, well when  that happens  i  guess  things  are  just  going  to  sky  rocket.
