BTC Chart 

If you look at BTC on a log chart, the move off the December highs appears to be a simple bull flag corrective move. A break above the downtrend line would signal a buy....  

I don't own any BTC, but if I were to buy some, I would treat it as any diversified position in a long term portfolio. It is not a substitute for physical gold allocation.
