A mere 15 days ago it was introduced to bittrex. Since then, we've had highs of $170+ and lows of $27. Many people, myself included, were puzzled at the recent heavy downtrend.
Here's some information that made me particularly bullish, and invest:

Extremely low supply, incentive for staking + coins burned for poor performing models, and a relatively low market cap (even at the current prices). This one is going places.
Bought some bags last night. This is a hidden gem... anytime you have Renaissance behind a quant fund... holy hell.
I still can't believe how stealthily this token was launched. Love it. This token is unlike any other - extremely bullish.

And, most importantly, this update that numerai pushed:

Tl;dr of the update is that:

• Reduce NMR payouts ~90% to NMR 1510 per week
• Increase staking payouts 3x to USD 3000 per week

If we look at this from pure mathematics perspective, price should go up by x / 0.1, meaning $35 / 0.1 = $360.
Of course, this will only occur if the market agrees on this mechanism and speculates accordingly.
Regardless, it is safe to say that the $30 mark will be the all time low for now.

What is driving the price down? All the data scientists who won numeraire for their efforts in making data models are now cashing out. The insane dump of numeraire onto the market has crushed it's price.

Some think the tides could change very soon.

Now is a very good time to buy NMR, imo.
