This certainly looks like the end of the bear market is coming with a swift outbreak over the downtrend, just as litecoin did last week. Does not mean a bull market will start right away, I expect more sideways movement for the better part of 2015. But this is probably a good point to buy. Price has been consolidating for weeks now. Most people with bitcoin are strong hands now. The hype of late 2013 is too far in the past, nowadays everybody who still has bitcoin is in this for the long run.
It's go time.
