Price of bitcoin has been increasing since ... I guess we could say May 22, 2010? I wasn't around until 2011 and don't know of any real transaction prior to what is reported.

If you bought some on March 8th at $4100-$4500, you're up 2x in 2 1/2 months.  

Current price is higher than it has been in all but ~5-6 months of existence.

I guess if you want to get into the technicals, there should be significant resistance at ~$10400 USD.  It also has that nice round number at $10k as a psychological barrier.
