The thing is: The graph is based on reality, not fiction.

The thing is: The graph is based on the past, not the future.

Extrapolating is always dangerous. It works till it doesn't.

I also expect that we're probably shooting up by a factor of 5-10 in a few months...

But it isn't a given.

This.

Technical analysis uses a lot of selective sampling and selective selection of analysis strategy. For example: What exactly is the justification to choose a logarithmic scale? Just because this is the only scale where you can draw a trendline?

That's not proper science, it's manipulative selection of methods (and timeframe) until you get the results you want to get.

This. I mean if you take that trendline, everybody knows it will not go one forever. If the price increased by the factor of 5 every 6 month, does this mean the price will be 3 800 000 000 000 000 $ inb 10 years? Everyone knows that that is no true. Impossible. So this trendline has to be false in some time in the future. Maybe now. Maybe another 5 cylcles? We don't know.
