Funny, but no: as long as there's a large gap between MtGox and other exchanges, any massive dump on MtGox will reflect immediately on other exchanges.

If someone really wants to buy lots of BTC before a certain financial crysis hits (Portugal, Ireland, whatever), then it might be possible
we'll see a pump-up to 95-100, but not more, because the sellers are desperate to unload their BTC above 100.
OTOH if we look at past charts, it seems likely to have a major drop from 90 to 75, then a small rebound to 80, and another drop to 65-70,
where the buying intentions are still very strong (for now). This major drop may happen even after a pump-up to 95-100, if the
expected financial crysis doesn't become news. Because then we might see BTC up to 200+. This suspense is starting to annoy me...

That's the buying whale, he's willing to buy at 91.6 but does not want to move the price up.
That's because he wants to buy more at 90-ish. So he waits for a selling whale to meet his price.



4. Post 2782759 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.11h):

The only question is if the buying whale will place another order at 91.6 (or close) after his current order gets exhausted.
For now his order is a great opportunity to dump your BTC if you feel bearish. After this, the price may slowly decline.

You are mistaken, Bitstamp only has to abide by the laws of the country it is registered in.
Which is UK for Bitstamp itself, but Slovenia for their bank.
It's the US citizens that also have to abide by those laws when doing business with Bitstamp.

I agree that the US government can strongarm MtGox (Japan) and Bitstamp (UK), because those countries are close allies and may comply with US demands.
About BTC-E, I'm not sure what the US government can do, maybe hire some rackets to put a bomb in their server room (just a hypothesis)?

MtGox appears to be under severe DDoS attack, the trade engine lag is 5 minutes now. Or something happened to their servers.
Make that 11 minutes, then back to normal.

The buying whale again, as expected, I managed to buy 95% of my target before he placed his order.
But he's not willing to pay more than 97, at least for now.



9. Post 2801114 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.11h):

Some people believed that 97 was a good price to sell at. Maybe they were right, but if the current trend continues, we might see 100 in 3 days.

I wasn't asking about why did people sell, I'm asking why would someone throw a 3k bid wall at 97, have it get eaten, then we see an ask wall of 1000 at 97 come up just after

Bizarre unless i'm missing something, and it's as simple as someone really wants bitcoins at 97

Possible explanation: after the previous whale buy, which drove the price from 93 to 97, there was a slow slump back to 93.
Today's sellers below 97, down to 95.5, hoped to influence the market into slumping back to 93-94. It's early to tell if they were wrong,
but IMO it's more likely to reach 98 than to slump back to 94. Of course, a whale sell can prove me wrong anytime.

Is MtGox down for someone else too? I'm getting 502 bad gateway.



13. Post 2807010 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.11h):

We have the standoff between a buying whale and sellers that are willing to dump at 96-97,
I believe mostly people who missed the train on the 19th July (I didn't, sold at 99 the day before).
If the buying whale makes another move today, up to 98 I believe, we'll find out if the sellers
get exhausted or not. If they do, the way to 100 and beyond is open IMO.



14. Post 2808206 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.11h):

The buying whale has decided to wait for seller exhaustion at 96.
And yes, this is f-ing boooring!



15. Post 2810127 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.11h):

For those holding $ and willing to buy BTC on MtGox, it's easy for now: just place a buy order just above the 96 wall and wait to get hit.
Seller pressure is still strong above 96, quite often the 96 wall is hit by sell orders.

A correction of the price is expected once the buying whale doesn't buy on MtGox anymore, who knows when he'll stop.
But the price to go down to 60, that's wishful thinking. If it happens, I'd probably take a fiat loan from the bank just to buy more BTC.
The difference in mining difficulty between the 7th July and the 7th August is quite significant. GPU miners are quitting en masse, only ASICs remain.
And ASIC miners should rather get fiat loans than sell when the market is low, when they know next year it's going to be at least 150 if not 200.
So I believe that a price drop down to maybe 80 is possible, but in the next months we'll see the average price rise above 100, possibly 120.




16. Post 2820848 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

If the whale buyer makes another 2 moves soon, we'll see a panic buy and 120, which would be quite unexpected.
As a good bear, I hoped the price will fall somewhere around 80 (to buy more), but it's not going that direction (well, not yet).

Maybe someone is trying to ignit a panic buy prior to performing a massive dump ?

My theory too. It will be the mother of all dumps, because if we reach 120$, there will be about 100k BTC buy orders above 80$.
But I think there is still some time left until the giant dump, so today I'm 100% BTC. Ready to panic sell anytime though.



18. Post 2825148 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

During the last 24h the ask sum has dropped by about 22k BTC. If this trend continues for 3-4 days,
we'll have a bubble spike at somewhere between 160$ and 230$ IMO (sounds crazy, I know).



19. Post 2825860 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

IMO due to the discrepancy between the bid sum and ask sum, we should be already knocking at the 105 wall.
We are probably not there yet because there's still strong seller resistance above 102. Maybe tomorrow.



20. Post 2832196 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

Without the whale buyer to move the market up, we may be slowly going down for a while.
It's possible that the whale buyer does not want to buy above 100, so he may wait for the price to drop.



21. Post 2848649 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

It will, very soon. Unfortunately it may drop below 100, which would be a real mess.

PS. I spotted a sudden drop of 3k BTC in sell orders. I'm not yet sure what it means.
PS2. And surge back again, more than 4k. People are repositioning their orders.



22. Post 2857872 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

The ask sum / bid sum ratio tells me that we should drop to 101 - 102 soon, if no whale buy occurs.
If we have one or more whale buys, the price will climb to 107 - 108 and then slowly drop.



23. Post 2860983 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

Actually, a lot is happening. Buyer pressure has increased, so now we have 2 scenarios:
1) a large whale dump that would take advantage of the buy walls, meaning we are deep in bearish scenario.
2) the start of the middle Elliot wave, in which case we'll see peaks of 110, 115, maybe 120.
Without the buy walls who hold for now at 101 - 102, the price would have dropped below 101, possibly below 100.
The walls have been steadily growing, but who knows if they are real or not (they could be pulled).



24. Post 2861051 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

Without increased buyer pressure, we would have dropped to 101 by now.
Just small players for now, but enough to delay or maybe revert (too early to tell) the drop to 101.



25. Post 2861089 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

If we start the middle Elliot wave then 101 would be dirt cheap, but if not then 99 would be a waste.



26. Post 2861301 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

If small players take it to 106 and not more, then we are in the 5th part of a type 5 Elliot wave.
If big players take it to 110 - 112, then we are in the 1st part of a type 5 Elliot wave.

If so, then assuming the latter scenario, you're predicting that we go to about $130-ish, then go down to $100 again, and then back up again (when we start new wave)? That makes sense.

I'm not predicting 130, I just presented the 2 scenarios I see as possible.
For now, it's not looking good, the small players have been unable to keep the price at 106.

Its going up!
I feel it in my bones,
I know that ask wall's bout to blow

Several indicators are looking good, but not great. To really go up we need the 1.0 - 1.5 million $ that are not seen
on the bid sum at MtGox. So right now it could be just a flash in the pan.




29. Post 2866374 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

The wall sends a message. If he wanted to buy at 105, he should have only put some 50 -100 at a time,
which would have looked as a good opportunity to some sellers.



30. Post 2867108 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

Sell wall at 108 more than doubled quickly, hmm...



31. Post 2871624 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

Market indicators do not suggest right now an imminent drop, on the contrary, if the current trend
continues we will soon be above the sub-wave of August 2nd. The only way I see possible right now
to go down is by a massive whale dump, something like ~20k BTC down to 99.



32. Post 2871692 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

If some whales help the push, 112 is easy. In fact, I moved my sell order from 111.9x to 114.9x, just in case...



33. Post 2872369 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

Well, if you push it up to 112, I'll do my best to push it to 112.5.  Wink

Question is, do the DDoS-ers have the 3.5k BTC (and more) to dump into the 105 wall?
Earlier today I dumped into the 106.1 wall while the market indicators were looking worse, and
while the wall was eaten courtesy of other bigger players, it didn't make much of a difference.



35. Post 2879035 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

There were about 3.5k BTC at 105, and more than half was sold into. The walls partially pulled are at 103 and 101,
but they are almost back by now. Looks like the continuous uptrend is challenged.

Where do you see up to date order book? Is there 3 minute lag or is my clarkmoody fucked up?


4 minutes, well here we go

I watch clarkmoody, bitcoinity, bitcoincharts and blockchained.
Of course the lag affects everyone, so we'll know the real situation only after MtGox recovers from the DDoS.



37. Post 2879196 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):

Stupid DDoS and dump attack. To succeed they should have DDoSed MtGox while NOT dumping on MtGox but on Bitstamp.
The market depth there is much smaller and they could have dropped the price by 8$ with the same amount of BTC required
to drop 2$ on MtGox. Now when the spread between MtGox and Bitstamp would have been 16$ instead of the usual 8$,
what would many of us think? Let's dump on MtGox while I can get in front of others, 8$ drop is a big deal.



38. Post 2879349 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.12h):



Do you see the sharp drops in bid sum? The first one persuaded me to dump into the 106.1 wall earlier today.
They should be correlated with significant price drops, but the first one had almost no effect on the market.

There's still hope for the bears!

*buys coins*

Really, you bought at 104? LMAO!

PS. I remembered I had a buy order at 98.0x, that's where I expected this to stop, but the 6k BTC dump made me nervous and cancelled it for now.

If I were the dumper (I'm not!) then the best strategy is to break the 100 $ psychological barrier and let the market do the rest.
That assuming the dumper wants to buy back later much cheaper.

Yup, I never understand why they don't do just that. Or maybe there is some strategy of false hopes for a better effect -> dump -> let it go back up a bit -> crush newly formed support and break 100

False hopes, yes, but just to harvest more $ from those who believe the dump is over.
I am apprehensive right now, I have a feeling that it's not over yet, but we'll see.

I missed an opportunity: should have let the whale hit me at 101.2, but who knew where it would stop?
And who knew there would be someone willing to buy 700+ BTC at 104 $ after that?
Anyway, I believe that once the small rebound loses steam and the downtrend continues, the whale will
proceed with another dump, because he doesn't want someone else to harvest 'his' buy orders.

You probably scream everytime the price switches between 102.X and 103.5 spread?

Funny, but between 101.2 and 104 there was profit to be made. Between 102.x and 103.5 there was almost no profit and high risks.

So did you buy at 101.2 now?

NO, buying at 101.2 now would have been too risky IMO, we are going down, as far as I can tell.
No idiot will put now another large buy order at 104.

well there was a guy a two months ago who put a 10k order that took the price from 95 to 110.

Hmm, I think it's more complicated. IMO the whale who dumped today stopped buying at 98, and 98 might be his bottom for now.
But if he started buying at 78, then you do the math...

the question is: which whale should buy at mtgox now ? if he wants to buy 5k BTC, buying on bitstamp would be much cheaper. So i think mtgox can only fall now.

The trend will be broken, when the first whale buys on bitstamp and equals the price!

Good point, but there's also a major unknown here: fiat withdrawals from MtGox, are they being sped up or not?
During the last two days, the bid sum dropped by about 2 million $, while the ask sum has been slowly rising.
If the bid sum continues it's downwards trend, the price will keep dropping.

Wow you've just blown my mind. Why have whales used gox to buy in the last few weeks at all? Makes no sense.

IMO only to rise the price above 98, after which the market took it to 110. And now it's harvest time.

A close look at the chart history shows that there is nothing weird about it. It seems to happen with regularity.

If this rally in progress takes the price above 106, I'll be confused, because it won't match the Elliot sub-wave theory.



58. Post 2893643 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.13h):

I also sold before the dump and bought at an average of 102.4 (101.2 would have been nice, but seemed risky),
and now the bid sum / ask sum points towards 106, with a possible overshoot to 107, that would be higher than
the start of the dump. I'll just have to watch how this unfolds and draw conclusions later.



59. Post 2911199 (copy this link) (by Tzupy) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_11.13h):

Situation looks to me similar to the one on July 1st, just before the big drops from 95 to 67.
If it repeats, we might see the price dropping to the 80s. But on the short term, someone is trying to pump up the price,
maybe hoping to trigger a mini-rally. We'll see in a couple of days which way we go.
Of course, if Fort Gox sorts out the $ withdrawals (unlikely though), the price could drop to the 50s.

So, which sub wave is this?

The sub-wave of 9th august clearly looked like a descending one, while on the 10th it was undefined.
My guess is that we still have a slight upward trend due to the BTC withdrawals from Fort Gox, and
this interferes with the waves, making the weaker ones difficult to recognize. We'll know for sure in 2 days.

PS. In 2 days we should know for sure if we are now in wave B of the corrective trend, and moving into wave C.

If $ could be withdrawn from Fort Gox, then the price would go down sharply, maybe to the 50s.
But it seems that the cash out of Gox is still buying BTC and selling to other exchanges, which adds some
weirdness to the price formation. When funds leave Gox, the price - in Gox dollars - rises, instead of dropping.
The current supply / demand ratio points towards a price of 106, and there are almost 3k BTC to buy till 106.

What's worrying is that there's almost no resistance, if there were resistance we would see someone dumping into the 108 mini-wall.
This could go up to 110 and beyond, remains to be seen how hungry the buying whales are.
IMO the walls at 108 (eaten by now), 107 and 106 are there so they can be eaten before the next buy.

IMO the market isn't following yet, and the whale buyer doesn't want it to follow.
He depletes seller resistance, without triggering a full rally, thus optimizing his purchase cost.
He'll only act when the market is about to buy his targeted coins. If the predicted price rises
quickly to 110, then we'll see another whale buy. And it seems we are going there.

Down trend? LOL

Take a look at the past week. The trend is up.

The slippage from 115 to 111 was probably just a combination of profit taking and correction, and possibly just a nice little bear trap.

Someone has invested too much in the last few weeks to allow a trend reversal.

I find hard to believe that a return to 115 and above is possible soon, according to the bid sum / ask sum ratio, not after such a drop.
But indeed, the lack of a large drop in price until now is significant. This happens mainly because the sellers don't rise the ask sum yet.
If the ask sum remains at this level on a longer term, then we'll resume the up trend.

I beg to differ, all the whale buys during the last month were more or less predictable from market indicators.
By market indicators I mean the bid sum / ask sum ratio, stochastic RSI, money flow index and MACD.

In this case, whales acting against market indicators is something quite worrisome.

As for the order book, I do care about walls, because I place my orders close to them.

I think it's one major player (probably a company) instigating and maintaining the uptrend to acquire an inventory of bitcoins as cheaply as possible while keeping the price as stable as possible to protect their assets.

I disagree with the 'protect their assets' part, because it's conflicting with the 'as cheaply as possible' part, which is the important one IMO.
My evaluation is that the major player lets the market go down if possible, and buys when the uptrend from the 'withdrawal via BTC' is about to make coins more expensive anyway.

I doubt that would work well. 100k might not be enough to slam price to $20 and buying them might well ignite quite a rally well above $130.

They would need some futures market or etf or whatever accessible to JP Morgan allowing them the use of fiat for price manipulation.

I was talking hypothetically. In the current situation, trying to buy 100k at Fort Gox could trigger a panic buy that might reach 4,000$ / coin (or more).
But I suspect the feds, in some form, are already hindering $ outflow from Gox. Like the banksters and Gox's incompetent management weren't enough...

Market is starting to look erratic, capitulation is coming.

So, do you believe we are in wave B now? That was my theory, but the higher top 2 days ago made me doubt it.
My theory is that the Elliot wave pattern has a rising base, due to the BTC withdrawals from MtGox.
So the peak of August 1st was the real wave 5, and the peak of August 15 was wave B's top.
But capitulation is associated with cash-out. If the main way to cash out of Gox is via BTC purchase,
can't we see 5 capitulation sub-waves that move the price up instead of down?

I do but little guys won't cause the price to shoot up like this.
The price is rising because of whales buying huge amounts of BTC in a single order (we saw some 5k buy orders today) so it doesn't make sense.
Also where are those coins from the "gox run" getting sold? Volume of the other exchanges is ultra low compared to gox.

The big whale only bought at the bottom of this rally, smaller whales followed.
As for the missing coins, they may show up for sale on Gox in about 15 days (that's a crude estimation).

Not really, the last one happened @ $123.
Also if they get sold on Gox in 15days it's just another argument against the theory of people "getting out of gox".

The 123 push was no whale, just panic buyers.
There were people getting out of Gox via coins and Bitstamp, where they are probably selling now or will sell when the next rally happens.
But my 15 days crude estimate is about the sub-waves 4 and 5 of the main Elliot wave.

IMO there will be another rally in 4 - 5 days, but the chances of rising to 180 are minuscule.
I'm pretty sure it will be at least 125, maybe 130. If there will be lots of panic buys, could be 140.
But until then, price has to drop to 115 (maybe 114) first, this is the correct price in 1 - 2 days.

The bubble period that deflated starting at the end of May was driven by the bid sum. Bid sum rose a lot, bubble inflated, then bid sum dropped a lot,
bubble deflated. But the current bubble period is rather driven by the ask sum, and less sensitive to the bid sum. Considering that Fort Gox keeps the bid sum
from sharply dropping, the only way to deflate is a massive increase in the ask sum. Or plainly explained, lots of coins at lower prices to be offered.
So far, I haven't seen this happening, but maybe the next days it will happen. If this doesn't happen, we're kind of stuck in limbo.

If you mean that I'm waiting for sub 60s since 2 months ago, you are mistaken.
I sold at 120 after buying at 110, and shall buy again at the bottom of this upcoming drop,
because I believe that price will rebound enough to make a profit.
As for sub 60s, it's too early to predict that as capitulation price.
If Gox $ withdrawals return to normal (maybe, maybe not, I don't know), then a bottom at about 60 is possible.

The best time to buy back will be after 2 strong downward sub-waves, in order to profit from the fake return to bull market.

I don't predict it, EW theory predicts it, and it happened before between about 9th to 21st June.

It's followed by the 5 downward sub-waves that lead to total capitulation, most blood in the streets, and time to buy back.

And of course you know exactly how it is, right?

That's what they claimed. About 100k coins bought for about 1.5 M$, a large part of the missing coins of 2012. If you can prove otherwise, please do so.

As for my wrong decision not to expect a third whale buy, it's my loss. You can rejoice!

I expect another large buy in a couple of hours, but I can't say how strong it will be.
The reserve funds on the bid side are about 1.5M$, but I have no idea how much will be used.

BTW, 66% of my trading stash joined the "investment stash" on a paper wallet. I sold the remaining 33% at $120 and requested a withdrawal to try some arbitrage with Bitstamp... The money didn't arrived to my account yet, so after the last rally my arbitraging move isn't looking too good ATM.

I don't understand this move. The best way to arbitrage is to buy bitcoins on Bitstamp and sell them on Gox, doing it the other way around like you did carries a huge amount of risk since you have to wait for the funds to arrive from Gox first. Why did you try it this way? Huh

Well, because I bought back in full between $67 and $105. My trading position was all BTC, so I had to sell on Gox before buying on Bitstamp to sell again on Gox, etc. etc. etc...

Plus, the point here is to see how fast I can move fiat from Gox to Bitstamp in a recurrent way - both fiat and BTC have to move quickly for arbitrage to work. BTC is quick, fiat not so much...

If your fiat arrives at Bitstamp in less than 4 weeks, you should be able to buy there at the very bottom.
And if arrives in less than 2 weeks, you might be able to take advantage of the fake return to bull market.

Once you think you know where things are going, a huge whale will splash in out of nowhere and change everything.

Yeah, this whale driven price trend sucks.

I disagree on the confidence level, I don't see it in the market right now.
On the 19th there was a large rise and then quickly a large fall in the bid sum / ask sum ratio, and yet
the panic buyers kept the price from dropping significantly. Now the ratio hasn't dropped much, but I
don't see significant panic buyer activity ( well, not yet ). Seller pressure is still high right now.
Regarding the bid sum / ask sum ratio, it's important to note that a redistribution of the orders can be misleading.

Yeah, I know, right? Totally artificial (as you said a day or so ago). We should just ignore it and buy coins at lower prices.


I may have an answer for you. After looking again at the recent history, I believe there is one smart whale that started the
last rally to 130+, with a whale buy of about 8k BTC that smashed through the 125 resistance level ( up to 126 ).
Other smaller and slower whales followed, and then some panic buyers. The smart whale has already sold at least 4k BTC
around the 130 price, he positioned his sell orders almost one day before starting the rally ( saw this in the ask sum graph ).
This operation ( repeated ) is an efficient way to pump up the price without losing money. As for the final target of the smart whale,
it's to dump big at a higher price IMO. I have no idea what's his final price - at which he would dump big.
The smart whale could be one of you early adopters, with activity in the hundreds in this forum and ( tens of ? ) thousands of coins.
And he would hate to see his MO uncovered. About what to do in order to better adapt to his strategy, I don't know.
The smart whale covers his actions behind normal market movements, he just triggers them a bit sooner and stronger.

If that would be true, the pumper-slash-dumper would be one broke motherfucker. Volume on the way down so far is just a fraction of what the whale put into the 'pump' part, and we're already getting near the point where it all started. No profit in that.

No, sorry to disappoint, but whoever drove the price up might or might not come back, but pump and dump 't was not.

He was a BTC whale who sold his coins at the 145 -148 level, panic buyers were so eager to buy them.
He didn't have to dump much, if any, after that. He sure loves those panic buyers.  Grin

During the last 2 days the period of the money flow waves has been of about 10 hours.
Right now we are in a local bottom, and the sellers have already dumped, so for the next few hours the drop shouldn't continue.
Of course, unless a whale panics and dumps. But in about 10 hours from now the next money wave should reach the bottom.

The drop was a flash in the pan, just like the one on the 15th. But remember that 4 days after the 15th we had the larger drop on the 19th.
EW sub-waves appear to last for about 15 days (for now, because the period depends on amplitude and probably on volume too).
So if the market follows the EW theory, we should see another drop on the 4th October (maybe the 5th if volume stays low).
The big question is how large will that drop be, a limited one like on the 19th September (which would just bring us back to ~132$), or a big one.

The market would have dropped in about 2 days anyway. So the result of this panic sale may have similar results.
A drop to 120$ in 2 stages is possible, so you might be able to sell on the rebound with little loss, and buy back sometime later.

BTW, I took a 3% loss on this shit, because I bought at 140$, estimating a small price rise to 144$ till the big drop, so you are not alone.  Wink

So far, most of the sales were 'hidden' coins, that didn't show up in the order book.

Everyone is always on the profitable side during huge drops. Smaller drops, and during rises, you can see people winning and losing. But the mega April crash, and June, etc. Everyone was "YAY! DOWN!"

Sorry for disappointing you, but as I mentioned before, I took a 3% loss. Had bought at 140$, hoping for a small rise the next day.
I was monitoring the money flow on bitcoincharts, and saw strange sales, when the price should have gone slowly up.

This few days of consolidation couldn't be more normal. Even if I had a crystal ball and knew for sure the price would go past the all-time high within the next two weeks, I still would expect a consolidation during these few days. Simply continuing up at the rate we were going would've been insane. So there's so far zero evidence the bull move of the past few weeks is over. Consolidation is exactly what we'd expect if the run-up is to continue. My guess is we're going up, probably within a week.

No, there are no more sub-sub-waves available for 'consolidation'. The conditions for a large drop will be met in about an hour (maybe more, maybe less, it depends on volume).

Only 2 EW sub-sub-waves were available for 'slow up', and IMO we are at the end of the second, which means a drop.
The conditions for the drop were met on Gox, but volume is very low, and can't drop on such low volume.
China kept buying slowly, delaying the expected drop. Maybe Gox is somehow waiting for China?

I was wrong in my recognition of the sub-sub-sub waves, the third and most powerful was yet to come, and nicely it climbed,
especially in China. I should have trusted the theory about it, but to me the panic buyers seemed exhausted on Gox.
Anyway, China led this and I should have looked at their charts more. The sub-sub-sub-waves on Gox were difficult to recognize, and
the drop in market indicators didn't mean in this case the large drop at the end of the sub-sub-wave, but an intermediary drop
between sub-sub-sub-waves 2 and 3. What I am expecting is that once the 3rd sub-sub-sub-wave is depleted, the panic sellers
will see the last chance to sell on the rebound, and that should trigger a large drop, as sub-sub-sub-wave 4. That's my interpretation
of what just happened and might happen soon, but we'll see...

If the 233$ peak was wave 5, and we saw the 3 down sub-sub-waves, followed by 2 up sub-sub-waves, of which
the second is much larger than the first, then we should see another 3 down sub-sub-waves.
Those new 3 down don't have to look like the previous 3 down, but if they do, we are on a descending trend.
If they look different, then it's possible to resume an uptrend and reach an ATH.
Right now, we already are in the 4th sub-sub-sub-wave of the second sub-sub-wave, so I expect to go down.

You sure about that?

That's my analysis, after looking at several scenarios. But with bitcoin I can't be truly sure about the future moves of the market.
Just wait a bit, maybe the Chinese will overturn the normal wave pattern. If enough fiat enters their exchanges, and more panic buy follows, it may be possible.

Gox was struggling to follow the Chinese for some time. Gox was primed to crash, yet it tries to follow
the Chinese in their buying spree, that didn't stop. This is uncharted territory, anything can happen.

Now seriously, since there was no crash, this means that China is the beacon, they keep buying.
I expect a sharp rise of the price for a couple of days (how many, unknown, it depends on volume), and then the crash.

Good morning from Europe.

WHAT?Huh??

Damn!!!!!

The day before yesterday when there was a huge bid wall, I didn't sell anything, and so missed out on a nice retraction. Yesterday I sold some, and the retraction never came! It just continuesd stampeding after a day of sideway. Now I am twitchy about buying back in.

I bought back at a small loss, there is room for growth about 50$ - 100$ IMO.
China is leading strong, although they are climbing too fast now and might have a local crash.

bid and ask sums are non important. they do not tell anything as they will be pulled and increased when needed.

every piece of information is important

agreed, but bid and ask sums are constantly manipulated, hence the worst indicator. Or the easiest one to fool you

If you check the bid sum / ask sum charts, you'll see that the price has usually been between 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the ratio.
This puts the 'target' price right now between 320$ and 480$. And possibly lower once the avalanche of coins starts.

if no new money can flow into btcchina, but people can still withdraw money, btcchina is going to near 0. and some luck chinese guy will buy everyone bitcoin really cheap b4 btcchina is forced to close its doors.

You are aware they are selling their coins, right?

Is the selling instant? Don't they have to transfer the coins, and get the desired price, which may take some time?
In the meantime, during a sell-off, the price could drop 10% and they would end up with a 10% fiat loss.

That's one reason for the current bubble to happen so soon after. Maybe this bubble won't fully deflate either and there will be
another one soon, with an ATH in the 5k$ range, and then the very early adopters will dump millions of coins and crush the price.

I already made a thread on this, link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=459887.0

The only useful answer so far:

A few possibilies:
1. Someone creating FUD to buy cheap coins (probably scammed mtgox first)
2. Banks/NSA try to damage bitcoin (but why would they start with mtgox related txs?)
3. A competitor like Ripple, Nxt or Ethereum
4. Mtgox trying to make it look like a general problem (but I highly doubt that)

You need a lot of well connected nodes to be faster than mgox, btc-e, bistamp, coinbase...

Of course they couldn't have lost so many coins, but their PR sucks. Instead of keeping mum, they should have come forward and admit that

If anything happens to him an angry mob is going to find the author of this article and take out some sweet revenge on him. Maybe even before that happens.

Translation: this article may push Satoshi Nakamoto to cash out a sizeable % of his bitcoins, before destroying the keys for the rest.
And the price would crash again, making my own bitcoins much less valuable.

Stop trolling you moron, this has nothing to do with the bitcoin price we are talking about human lives here. I'm seriously pissed off so fuck off with your crap.

Look, the Miz4r troll suddenly cares about human lives. Touching...
Of course you are pissed off, you'd have to sell now. Or hold and see your precious coins lose value. Tough call.

Yup. Satoshi just sold his first 1,000 coins. 999,000 to go.

He doesn't need to sell all 1 million BTC, just about 100k, so he can buy himself a bulletproof manor,
armored cars and bodyguards. Other filthy rich people like Bill Gates and Larry Page live like that.

How can you say there is 0% chance of below 200? That is ridiculous. There is no such thing as 0% chance. What if tomorrow,
1. U.S. bans bitcoin
2. A flaw is found in the code
3. EC or SHA256  is broken
4. The existing exchanges shut down due to fraud or seizure.
5. Someone randomly decides to dump 30KBTC at market on bitstamp.
6. The economy melts down

A bit of clarification needed:
1. unlikely to happen soon.
2. possible selfish miner attack, can be mitigated.
3. unlikely to happen soon.
4. possible in China.
5. quite possible after this rebound runs out of steam.
6. which economy, whole one or just the bitcoin economy (drugs, money laundering, capital control evasion)?

LET'S GIVE PROBABILITIES TO THE FOLLOWING EVENTS
a) In 2014, price will visit below 100 = 40%
b) In 2014, price will visit below 200 = 60%
c) In 2014, price will visit below 300 = 70%
d) In 2014, price will visit below 400 = 80%
e) In 2014, price will visit above 500 = 30%
f) In 2014, price will visit above 750 = 5%
g) In 2014, price will visit above 1000 = 1%
h) In 2014, price will visit above 1250 = 0% (for practical purposes)
/LET'S GIVE PROBABILITIES TO THE FOLLOWING EVENTS

I see a problem with these guesstimates. A bottom of around 300$ is not really bearish.
And from 300$ within 6 months it's quite possible to go over 1000$.
The really bearish scenario is with a bottom below 200$, then it's going to be difficult to reach above 1000$ in 2014.

The impending (and almost certain) closure of the bank withdrawal channels of Chinese exchanges will inevitably lead to transfer of some of the coins that are now in their client accounts to the Western exchanges.  More coins, no new dollars, can only cause the price in the West to go down. The only question is by how much.

How exactly that will play out seems still uncertain.  The Chinese exchanges have been remarkably silent after the last PBoC move, in contrast to the weeks after the late March Caixin leak.  One of them at least has said that it will avoid public announcements because it does not want to cause commotion in the market.

I wonder how far they will take this new "PR policy":

  1. The Chinese exchanges may give their clients advance warning of the bank withdrawal closure, or the closure will happen only on the May 10 deadline.  In that case I expect that there will be a rush by most Chinese clients to sell their bitcoin (which they cannot use for commerce in China, and probably do not believe it ever go to the moon) and withdraw the CNY while they can.  Other clients who have some connection to the West may choose to move their bitcoin to Western exchanges and continue trading there.  Abitragers, habitual or improvised, will use any CNY still in their accounts to buy cheap coins there and sell them in the West.  Then the price will drop in the Chinese exchanges, and the Western ones will follow.

  2. The Chinese exchanges will close CNY bank withdrawals before May 10, without advance warning.   Then many clients with CNY trapped in their accounts will try to buy bitcoin to move them out.  The price of bitcoin in China will probably rise sharply.  Arbitragers, insiders, and other clients who have other ways of withdrawing CNY will make handsome profits at the expense of ordinary clients.  Arbitrage may temporarily transfer some of that price increase to the West, but that will be counteracted by the pressure of other clients moving bitcoin to the West, even at a loss, to get their money out.  Since in the end the net amount of bitcoin in the Chinese exchanges must decrease, the latter effect must predominate, so the price in the West will decouple and fall while it rises in China.

  3. The Chinese exchanges may just shut down without any prior warning, or block bitcoin widthdrawals as well; so that both the CNY and bitcons of their clients will be trapped inside, except perhaps for some privileged users or some restricted non-bank channels.  This option seems very unlikely, considering what happened to the owners of the GBL exchange.

In any case, I imagine that some Chinese traders who keep most of their bitcoins in private wallets, outside the exchange, may want to sell them, since the withdrawal restrictions may take all the fun & profit out of the bitcoin speculation game.  Therfore some of those coins will also find their way to the Western exchanges.


Good analysis, I think along the same lines, but was too lazy to write this down.
The big unknown is how high % of the Chinese bitcoins will be sold on Western exchanges.
If a lot, then we can expect something like 50k+ BTC ask sum on Bitstamp and the bids below 5M$, at the bottom of course.

More fiat on the bid side, yes, but not a lot more.
Combined Bitstamp, BTC-E and Bitfinex have about 20M$. MtGox is dead and can't provide support.
The only thing keeping the price from dropping hard is limited seller pressure, compared with June 2013.
And back then Gox was still the leading exchange and had about 15M$ on the bids.
If there will be a serious Chinese fallout, not FUD and bad news, but coins coming from China en masse, bulls will become corned beef.

Of course there was a reason to go down, I predicted it on the 10th June just based on charts.

Quoting myself from 10th June:
If the price drops below 450$ then the uptrend is broken and after a weak rebound we'll drop even lower.
To go higher than 700$ would require that the upcoming correction doesn't drop below 450$ (not below 550$ to be sure).

But many times the markets need an excuse to go down, and now they got some.

So essentially we can say either China has 10x more interest than the rest of the world or the numbers are cooked up if usd is isolated from yuan or rmb. What I care about is money coming out of fiat and into btc.
I am not sure what you mean, but: from all I have read, I am quite convinced that the November rally was entirely due to demand in the Chinese exchanges.  Ditto for the December crash and partial recovery, the decline from February to April, the stagnation in May, and the the mini-rally a couple weeks ago.  Not sure yet about the current decline, but it seems to have coinided with a new push to cut out the remaining channels of yuan deposit to the exchanges.  

I don't know how many coins are still in the hands of Chinese speculators and investors, but, if the markets there were to close and those coins returned to the Western market (which they probably would, since speculation seems to be the last significant utility of bitcoin in China), I am quite convinced that the price would drop to somewhere between 80$ (an estimate of where it would be if China had never entered the game) and 350$ (which it briefly reached after one of the PBoC scares).

As for Mr. Lee's claims: his exchange BTC-China used to have the largest volume in China until the December crash. Since that time it has become insignificant, while Huobi, OKCoin, and the other Nameless Ones became dominant.  (Huobi in particular seems to have bumped its volume just when BTC-China suddenly lost theirs).  I watched that video and heard the claims, but did not see the evidence. His being elected to the board of the Shrem Karpelès & Friends Foundation, together with Mr. Pierce, did not help convince me.


A few comments: the November 'rally' was the mania phase of the bubble, it would have happened anyway, but several months later.
The Chinese mania could have lasted a bit longer if the PBoC wouldn't have decided to cut the funding to the exchanges.
But the PBoC doesn't want to create a massive bitcoin crash, because of the potential social unrest associated with such a crash.
So for now the Chinese exchanges are in limbo IMO, they can't truly fund another significant uptrend, but don't want to start capitulation yet.
I already expressed my opinion that the closure of Chinese exchanges could drive the price to 100$ or below.
However, they seem to plan a move outside the jurisdiction of the PBoC, which may be a turbulent market period, because
they can easily transfer bitcoins from servers in mainland China, but customers' yuan could be tough to transfer to a new friendlier home.

It boggles my mind that the trend is like this with the sheer amount of new and large business that have adopted bitcoin lately.
Most of those businesses did not adopt bitcoin at all.  They merely agreed to accept dollars from the sale of bitcoins that people already had, including cheap coins that had been dormant since 2013 or earlier.

Bitpay expansion does little to increase adoption; it chiefly makes it easier and more tempting for long-time investors to sell some of their coins on the open market.

Many people don't understand that there are 2 bitcoin economies: the original SR and like one, and the newer, legitimizing economy using Bitpay.
But why would an early adopter (who bought below 20$) buy back with fiat the bitcoin that he spends today, at a 550$ market price?
The smart thing to do, in order to buy back 1 BTC, would be to sell 4 BTC when a downtrend is obvious and then buy back 5 - 6 BTC (just an example) at a lower price.

Why is everything called a "bubble"? A bubble by definition is something that is unnatural, unjustified, and rare; not something something that occurs regularly. The only bubble that has ever occured in Bitcoin was when it went to $32 in 2011. The $15-$32 portion of that might be called a bubble, and wasn't seen again for 2 years.

I usually agree with TERA's posts, but not with this one. IMO a bubble is normal and very common, the mania phase of the bubble is somewhat unnatural, unjustified and rare.
Silver in 2010 - 2011 had a mania phase, of course not as manic as bitcoin.  Cheesy Had a wave A in 2011 - 2012, wave B in 2012, and now seems to be still in wave C (back to pre-bubble price).

If I were bidding at such a sealed-bid auction, I would try to estimate (a) how much revenue I could get from the item if I got it, and (b) what is the minimum profit that I would be happy with on my investment. Then I would bid for the difference (a) minus (b).

For example, I am currently pessimistic about the chances of the price ever getting much higher than now, and expect a downtrend in the short term.  Therefore, if I were to get those bitcoins I would try to sell them right away for the best price, as fast as I could.  If the auction were today, I would expect to get maybe 550 USD/BTC average from selling 3000 coins on the exchanges over the next week.  Thus, I would bid for 500 USD/BTC to have an expected profit of 150'000$ with an investment of 1'500'000$.

By the same reasoning, someone with a more optimistic outlook may bid higher than market.  If he expects BTC to be 10'000 USD next year, then he can bid at 5'000 USD/BTC and still expect to make a nice profit.  But if such person existed, he would be buying all coins in the market now, at any price.  Obviously the optimists are all out of money now.

I suppose that one can build more sophisticated probabilistic models to find one's optimum bid, given one's expectations about future bitcoin prices.  However, one must assume a very broad probability distribution for the other people's bids, so I doubt that one can do much better than the simplistic method above.

There is a timing problem with the 'buy to dump immediately on exchanges' scenario:
The bidding is on the 27th, Online auction period from 6:00 AM EDT to 6:00 PM EDT
30th Winning bidder notified by 5:00 PM EDT
1st July Phase III Deadline for winning bidder to initiate wire transfer
The bitcoins will reach the winner(s) after the wire transfer completes (at least that seems reasonable to me),
so they can only be dumped around the 3rd July. The buyer has to be cautious with respect to market movement 27th June - 3rd July.

Yes, he must include that forced delay in his estimate of how much money he would get if he got those coins.  It is irrelevant for the optimistic bidder, very important for the pessimistic bidder.

That's why the pessimistic bidders are unlikely to win if the market is in a downtrend. The bears should bid like 20% below market price. The bulls (if any) will be willing to hold the bag.

Not that stupid if you consider that altcoins draw their source of dollars from Bitcoin almost exclusively. If Bitcoin shrinks, so do they.

Altcoin holders when seeing the value of 'x-coin' dropping against BTC and BTC also in a downtrend are more likely to sell their x-coin for BTC and then BTC for fiat, increasing the seller pressure.

At what point are you not a bear? $2k, $3k, $5k

Or are you always a bear?

Because you are throwing money away not playing both side unbiasedly.

Being a contrarian is just a self identity thing with you, right?

I'll believe that we are out of the bear market when I'll see a properly defined wave 1.
It's not there yet, the market will have to reach about 800$ for that. And then start corrective wave 2, dropping to about 600$.

I don't think so. A 12M$ sudden buy spread over all exchanges may secure the uptrend and repel the fear of capitulation.
Or maybe not: from the 25th May it took a 12M$ increase in $ swaps on BFX to raise above 600$ and sustain this range.

Bear market and reaching 800 soon are incompatible. The market has reached a turning point, has to decide if it's still in wave C or in wave 1, but low volume makes this take longer.

Was only 100 coins.

It was ~ 132 from looking at Wisdom. That's likely well over a million bucks on a 132 coins. And CampBX is now offline. Roll Eyes My guess -- someone found an exploit, bought all the coins on the book with fake USD, then made off with as much as they could from the hot wallet.

That would make sense, if the hackers managed to give themselves plenty of fiat IOUs and there was no one to supervise the withdrawal from the hot wallet (it's Sunday).

The point is that governments will stamp out crypto, like they got rid of BSCs, if they perceive that crypto is actually going to do what it was intended to do. 

Government can never completely eliminate currencies based on decentralized consensus blockchains.  They can only make it more difficult to trade this currency for their own currency, and vice versa.  If government pushes Bitcoin into a black market currency, it will still exist.  In fact, if the war on drugs is anything to judge by, a war on Bitcoin will only make it worth more.


Governments can't fully ban cryptos, I agree, but they can do the next worst thing, cut all funding to exchanges and make common people afraid to hold cryptos.
Until now, bitcoin priced was pumped up by fiat from small investors / speculators. To reach 5k$ bitcoin needs institutional investors, and a war on bitcoin would make this impossible.
So pray that bitcoin will be tolerated by governments (especially USA and EU) in the years to come, or else say hello to double digits.

The people offering USD for swaps are in the btc market.  When the price starts rising consistently, they will move their money into btc, and leverage will dry up on Bitfinex.  That is the main reason most swap offers are 2 days: if the price skyrockets, they don't want to miss out.

I doubt that, it's more likely they want to be able to catch the bottom.

If support at 540$ will be broken and new support found at 450$ or less, the bullish scenario will be invalidated, and we'll have capitulation.

A possible explanation for the difference between China and Bitstamp could be that insiders are transferring
their profits out of China. If insiders know in advance that PBoC's chopper will fall on Chinese exchanges,
moving their trading funds (in bitcoins) out of China would be a wise move and may cause some fools' rally,
like the one seen on MtGox in February, just before MtGox entered the death spiral.

It smells like capitulation, it doesn't yet look like capitulation, and it's taking a long time.
At the current rate of descent, it looks like the bottom of capitulation (despondency) will be reached in about 3 months.
Maybe some new FUD will help accelerate it downwards, so we don't have to wait so long to start a new bubble.

from another site:



I am expecting to see a large spike in BDD if support will be broken, price drops to the 420$ - 450$ next support level,
and large holders will send coins to exchanges to sell on the rather strong rebound that will follow. That should result in some weird volatility.

Disastrous? Not really, from a TA perspective this still allows for a bullish scenario.
But if during the next 1 - 2 days long term support at 540$ will be broken (and I believe it will), then capitulation is a must.
It will be fun to watch the panic manifested in these forums and this thread.  Grin

Support broken, bullish scenario invalidated, it's time for a healthy capitulation! Grin
But it will take a couple of months to reach the bottom, so prepare for lots of whining and moaning in this forum. Cheesy

So 541 and 539 is the difference between a huge bear market and a huge bull market??


Some time ago I and others warned of a turning point at which the market will choose a bullish or bearish scenario.
It's not just that 540$ support broke, look at the bid sum / ask sum ratio, it dropped down to 230$ on Bitstamp.
There is no bullish recovery from this, just a couple of (possibly strong) rebounds, but for the next couple of months the trend is down.

What's your target? <340?

At the very bottom yes, below 340$, but for now support at 420$ - 450$ should hold, followed by a rather strong rebound, that won't
last long, because large holders will understand where the market is going and sell on it.

you got a hardon now dont you

Long squeeze on Bitfinex, maybe but I doubt it will soon drop below 420$ on Bitstamp. The important part is what I bolded.

Quote from: Sandia on September 01, 2014, 09:00:46 PM
I don't know anyone who owns a single satoshi anymore.  All 5 of my friends have sold and won't be back when they saw they were down $60-120/coin, somewhere around $50k in investors.  The 2 guys who used to talk to me about btc think I am trying to scam them.  My neighbor used btc to get a discount on a new laptop; he bought them literally at the last possible second so that they price would not drop during the time that they were in his address.

There are 3 main classes of btc owners, IMO:
- the majority with less than 5 coins
- the middle with 5-300 coins
- the bigger guys

These drops are not about btc value.  They are not about price discovery.  It has nothing to do with TA.  It is just the big guys taking money from the smaller guys.  I have spent 7 months staring at the charts and watching buy/sells scroll buy.  Every drop is started by 200, 250, 300, 350 coins market sells, followed by more large sells, then the rest with 1-10 coins trying frantically not to lose money (which of course the always do).  The big guys have their buy orders a few percent off the top, buy back in.  Rinse and repeat day after day, as the price drops day after day, so the big guys can make their easy profits.  And then defend the 7k dump on Bitfinex as natural market movement.  And defend the big dump on BTC-e a few days later as a natural market movement.  And complain that people refuse to buy the price up for your next dump.

We are not in a bear market.  We are in a market where the big guys make more money on dumps than price increases.  And dumps are SO much easier.

The smug big guys in this thread like to say we are in accumulation phase.  No, we aren't.  We are in the "take the newbies' money" stage.  They are also the guys who encourage trading, instead of holding.  See, they don't make money from you when you only hold your coins, they need you on an exchange.  Goldman, etc., are replaced by anyone who holds 1 or 2k coins and can initiate dumps or walls.

Some of the big guys here are talking about $300 coins.  Good luck with that, I hope you achieve it.  Everyone except you will have sold and left btc.  Everyone else will have lost half their money and left the technology for good.  You will likely get $50, $25, $10, $1 coins, too.  A Pyrrhic victory.

This short term thinking drives the price down, hinders new adoption, and drives out anyone who has adopted recently.  Remember that when you see the charts that say btc adoption has stagnated: why would the average person hold coins that have dropped over 20% in the last 2 months and 60% in 9 months, for exactly no reason?  Why would a newbie even CONSIDER buying btc when he is guaranteed to lose money?

I am thinking about dropping out of trading myself.  I will keep a percentage of my coins in a cold wallet, sell the rest.  This crap happening in the market is unbearable.  I would rather deal with wallet street than bitcoin markets.

And no, I haven't lost coins trading.  That is only because my trades rarely last over an hour.


Um, no. If the big guys (aka whales) would sell a lot we would see much better BTC liquidity and much lower prices. Most whales can afford to wait for the second half of 2016, when they'll dump big.

... yeah dump right before the next block halving ... sounds just like a nasty whale plan huh?

Not before, the next block halving is going to happen during the second half of 2016 and if the stage of the market at that time will be a slow bull market
(which is possible) it will only take another 2 - 3 months to reach mania stage, possibly up to 10k$, before the end of 2016.
But of course whales won't want suckers to believe that they'll be bagholders at 10k$, they'll want suckers to believe the price will soon reach 100k$.

The bid sum on Bitstamp reached (for a short time, it recovered a bit) the lowest point of this year, at just above 3 M$.
I noticed a discrepancy between the evolution of bids on Bitstamp and on Chinese exchanges, and I believe that
Chinese coins have been dumped for months. If it's westerners returning profits from China or new coins mined in China
and used for capital transfer, I can't tell, but the effect is the same.

Since there are bitcoins for sale at 400$, and no one is buying them, the market's opinion is that the chances of "2000$ within 5 years" must be less than that.
...

Um, no. Expecting 2000$ within 5 years is bearish, IMO at the end of 2016 price will surpass 3000$, but that's not the point.
The market "believes" there are cheaper coins on the horizon, and even if someone misses the very bottom he'll have the
opportunity to buy back at the current price (or maybe 500$) for months during the first phase of the next bull market.

You're forgetting the Winklevoss guys, apparently they have/had 100k BTC

The Winklevii bought below 20$, so by my standards they are not bagholders.
Tim Draper is now about 50% down, and his delusional bid strengthened the bulls' delusion in July.

What people seem to ignore or don't understand is that once we reach the bottom, no one will miss buying "cheap", because we will be trading at that level for several weeks before going up.

Between 17th October and 20th December 2011, the price fluctuated between 2$ and 3.5$, with only 2 days above that.
The current bear market seems to last twice as long as the 2001 one, so you should have between 2 and 4 months to buy cheap coins.

What people seem to ignore or don't understand is that once we reach the bottom, no one will miss buying "cheap", because we will be trading at that level for several weeks before going up.

And you reach that conclusion based on what exactly?


We don't have much precedents to work with, as Bitcoin trading history is only ~4 years old. During that time, 3 major rally/capitulation cycles took place, and we're still in the capitulation part of the of the 3rd one. (There are other ways to parse the  trading history, but this one's fairly well accepted.)

I'm mentioning this because any extrapolation from so little data points is of course dubious. Then again, it's the best we have.  

So, what do the two completed capitulations look like that we've seen so far:

2013:
bottom 1 = ~$50, the initial post-ATH crash.
bottom 2 = ~$65, about 3 months later.

In between: extreme volatility. Nothing like a flat bottom that allowed you scoop up "cheap coins" at will. Also, 2nd bottom already 30% higher than the first.


2011:
bottom 1 = ~$2, at the end of the almost straight down, multi month correction
bottom 2 = ~$2, about 1 month after the first.

Maybe that's where you get the idea from that you could scoop up cheap coins for weeks before it goes up again. The only problem - even in the 2011 double bottom, there was extreme volatility in between. Price went from $2 to almost $4 (i.e. +100%), before coming down again.


tl;dr There's not much data to work with, given the short trading history of Bitcoin, but from what we have seen so far, a flat capitulation bottom, stretched out over weeks, doesn't seem likely.

After a harsh corrective wave A, the bear market of April - July 2013 traded in a relatively narrow range, not with extreme volatility.

It doesn't have to be flat to trade below major resistance levels, and could take 4 - 5 months, not weeks, to break the 680$.
And that's in the bullish scenario, where we already hit THE bottom. In the bearish one it's going to be scary even for bottom fishers.

Stamp's bid side is depleted (figuratively speaking). If you look at stamp's bid/ask over the last 24-48 hours, you'll see that a number of big buys correspond to big drops in bid/ask. In other words, Stamp is probably partially responsible that we're going up right now, by traders losing patience and pulling bids from the book to market buy, but now they're out of fuel somewhat.

No, China is responsible for the uptrend, Stamp just followed. As for the "bid depletion", it also happens on BTC-E and BTCChina, but not Huobi.

If you just sold, it's not a bad move, since the market is overbought right now and it may drop a bit. But don't forget to buy back at a local bottom.

Now seriously, for the price to go to 0 there would need to be a catastrophic news, I have no idea what that could be.

I dont understand, I can see longs with the buys appearing but I don't see any huge sells with the kind of these shorts (+20K BTC), I just don't get it.

On Bitfinex, you can either shortsell and let the system to automatically take care about choosing the swap offer(s) with the lowest interest rate(s) available at the time (and optionally below a manually set interest rate limit) in the background or you can borrow BTC manually for later use (or return if you change your mind and decide not to sell the borrowed coins), effectively securing certain amount of coins for short selling on demand (you won't unexpectedly run out of coins to sell in the middle of the action).

A huge amount of unspent swap at high interest rate is dubious.
I guess either somebody tries to trick the legit short sellers to close their positions (due to the increased interest rates and the confusion about the overall long/short landscape), effectively causing or supporting a mini-pump, or somebody is getting ready to push the price down and/or mitigate a suspected mini-pump attempt.
Or it's all just piggy-backing. Somebody started to short and everybody followed until it went too far. May be somebody tried to encourage piggy-backing by borrowing but not spending the swap, just to force-close the resulting shorts later (jump back to no.1).

I am not sure but I am starting to get a little uncomfortable about my opened short position. But I am not panicking, yet. Grin

It looks like someone is taking advantage of the inflection point, where the market can be turned one way or another with minimum effort,

A gaussian is just a parabola in log scale.  So, here is the result, in linear and log scale:

(Seriously now: these are NOT my predictions.  The point of these plots is only to show that the choice of the mathematica model (straight line or parabola, linear or log scale, ...) determines the conclusion about future prices, even before the fitting.  In particular, by choosing a straight line, one will necessarily conclude that there "must" be another huge bubble "soon".)

Thank you Mr. Stolfi. However unlikely these seem, if 1 year from now the price will be between 250$ and 300$, this would be a chilling bearish scenario.

Ditto for the May/2014 bubble:  a jump from $450 to $600 was quite dramatic, but a jump from 800$ to 950$ would have been just noise.

Please stop referring to the May 2014 price rise as a "bubble". It is part of the deflation pattern of the November 2013 (mania phase of the) bubble.
IMO there are 2 reasons for the May 2014 uptrend (that I called bull trap): the PBoC stopped feeding bad news to the market, so the market lost some
downward momentum and the linear descending channel broke, which was inevitable at some point, otherwise price would have reached 0$ by now.

However, the price got from 140$ to 800$ not because of some mysterious "multi-year trend force" pulled it up, but because the Chinese speculators discovered bitcoin and bough it en masse; and it fell from 800$ to the present 350$ not because of some even more mysterious "correction force", but because the Chinese government policies have been driving most of those speculators away.  It can't get more obvious than that.
...

The price was already in an obvious uptrend when the Chinese speculators stepped in and pumped it, so instead of a peak of around 600$ in spring 2014,
the peak was around 1200$ in December 2013 (market moved a lot faster up with the Chinese). Events can heavily influence the market, but price affects price.

You actually want it to go down?

Thinking realistically that it might go down is one thing but wanting it to go down is another.

Obviously you're more concerned about trading than about Bitcoin itself.

Or do you have a reason to dislike or fear Bitcoin?

Tsk. Tsk.   Sad

My most probable scenario is still bearish, as long as the market won't be able to build the first sub-wave of wave 1.
To build it the market needs to reach at least 470$, preferably 520$, to ensure the correction that will follow will stop at or above 275$.
If we go up for a while it just takes longer. And Blitz posting funny skeletons won't change my mind, only sustained buying can.

Ditto for the May/2014 bubble:  a jump from $450 to $600 was quite dramatic, but a jump from 800$ to 950$ would have been just noise.

Please stop referring to the May 2014 price rise as a "bubble". It is part of the deflation pattern of the November 2013 (mania phase of the) bubble.
IMO there are 2 reasons for the May 2014 uptrend (that I called bull trap): the PBoC stopped feeding bad news to the market, so the market lost some
downward momentum and the linear descending channel broke, which was inevitable at some point, otherwise price would have reached 0$ by now.
The third reason could be traders expecting next bubble (8-months were due in July) trying to front-run it.

Yes, they thought THE bottom was in April (I said "no, just look at the volume") and that seemed a good time to buy and hold.
That's why the market wasn't willing to drop (I posted this in the Memespeculation), and a lot of time was wasted with low volume.



The 5th October bottom may have been THE bottom, the volume was there, but it happened faster than I expected, and is somewhat fishy.

No. Notice the huge resistance already to 420? We're going down. You can thank the dumpers for that. They once again killed a rally and scared away new buyers.

The resistance at 420$ comes from October. When it was broken, it became support, and then support broken became resistance again, at least short term.

and the US Government (who would own them after getting him convicted), and both believe that the price will take a nose dive.

Support at 1950 CNY is too strong, I doubt it will be broken soon. IMO it's much more likely to test it and rebound, possibly to 2600 CNY.

That's important, DPR was in accumulation mode during 2013, and if now BOTH him and the US gov believe it's time to cash out, then they both expect much lower prices in the near future.

You really think the FBI talked to DPR and discussed with him whether now would be a good time to sell? They sell now because they can, the FBI are no speculators and they certainly didn't ask for DPR's permission first.

Actually they did talk with Ross (not clear on whose initiative) and both agreed to sell.  The FBI still cannot sell those coins on their own, it is not yet decided whether they belong to Ross or to SilkRoad.  If they belong to Ross, they would have to wait for the verdict on Ross's trial.

Exactly, but probably Miz4r didn't bother to read the document.

As for the silly "as low of a price as possible", of course it doesn't make sense, DPR wants the best possible price (short term).
Probably after looking at the market he decided to average his cash out. If the market will recover soon, he will refrain from selling the other 100k, if not... Wink.

Exactly, this decision to sell the coins is solely from the US government not Ross.

It was a joint decision made in January.  Both the US government and Ross agreed that Bitcoin was going to tank.
...and were right.

Yes, they both agreed in January 2014, the question was if DPR had to agree to the sale now, as I thought was sensible, but I stand corrected.

"The United States and Ulbricht agree that the United States may, in its sole discretion, sell any portion or all of the Computer Hardware Bitcoins,
on a date or dates and in a manner to be determined by the Government."

So the gov believed the price will tank in June and they were right (Draper got bull trapped), the gov (not DPR) believes again the price will tank, guess what...

I don't think that Ross has any more control on the matter; the agreement, as I understood, covers the whole 140+ kBTC.  The USMS implied that they will auction them all, but they decided to split into three(?) auctions so as not to saturate the market.

Yes, just the gov has control; I had read the document but my brain couldn't register this the first time, it didn't make sense for DPR to give up all control.
Then I realized that he may have been beaten, starved, tortured, threatened, so he'd sign something potentially against his best interests.
The gov could sell the bitcoins close to THE bottom and DPR won't be able to do anything about it; however, it seems the gov sells in a larger
downtrend, close to the top of a rebound (bull trap). The feds might be less dumb than expected.

The market is at an inflection point again. For the bullish scenario to stay believable, support at 370$ must hold and then act like a base for a rally.
If not, this could deflate down to about 320$, then raise to about 380$ (bull trap or good sell point), before going down to find THE bottom.

Today, an employee of Huobi BitVC gave out an article, saying he had to unveil the inside news of Huobi trading platform. Meanwhile, he did hope the management of Huobi can learn something from this event. What’s more, on the one hand, he hopes that No personal remarks will be made; on the other hand, he wishes that Huobi management can admit the things he said, or all the recordings will be announced.

the whole management team of Huobi, including Leon Li and Dujun actually know little about Bitcoin, what they have is the worship of Bitcoin, they only want to make money and make 796, OKCOIN and BTCC went bankrupt or even worse, and never thinking about whether their behaviors is helpful for Bitcoin industry or what they did will damage this industry.

who teh f#ck would sell @double digit?!

The "stupid" traders, if they'll believe it's going to drop even lower?
Currently my analysis points to a bottom at 200$ or just below, if the Chinese exchanges keep operating.
If they will be shut down (which may or may not happen) the ask side would be transferred to Western exchanges and BFX.
The bid side would stay in mainland China until cashed out. The resulting huge imbalance between demand and supply
could eventually drive the price down to below 100$. Hard to believe, even for a bear like me, but.. this is bitcoin.

Market slowly moving above oversold, but could still drop again. I'm waiting for 12h PSAR flip as indicator of short-term trend reversal.

12h PSAR hasn't flipped yet, but 6h did, so very-short-term going up.

What did you expect, the bull fest to last forever? The market needs corrections, and maybe 420$ next days.

I was lucky to look at China, while the market still looked bullish and I previously thought it might reach 420$.
I suspect the hedge fund is now pumping and dumping in China and makes the market look more bullish than "normal".

"Kraken selected to aid MtGOX Investigation and Liquidation"
http://blog.kraken.com/post/103599171158/mt-gox-bankruptcy


Smells like a big pile of steaming bullshit to me

No bullshit, the CEO of Kraken is the CEO of Payward, which was selected to assist Kobayashi, quoting:

Upon obtaining approval from the Tokyo District Court, as of November 26, 2014,
I decided on Payward Japan K.K., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Payward.
Inc. (“Payward”), as the supporting company and entered into the “Agreement
Concerning Support, etc. of Bankruptcy Proceedings”, because the Payward group
was considered to be the most suitable among the candidates.
In addition, as stated above, the agreement stipulates that the Payward group will
support the bankruptcy proceedings of the bankrupt entity. Payward will not
assume the business of the bankrupt entity.

Payward (CEO and Co-founder: Jesse Powell) is a corporation established on July
28, 2011 in the state of Delaware. It has outlets in the United States, Canada, the
United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Singapore and Japan, and operates the bitcoin
exchange, Kraken, with users from around the world as its clients.

He is probably not buying, but uses this for damage control. If he would stay out of the auction at currently much lower prices, he'd send a bearish signal.

Maybe some more thoughts on averaging down: To speculate, we all have some hypothesis that prices will unfold in some manner. Of course you could anticipate that the price will likely move up now, but if it doesn't move up now, then it has to move up after it goes down to some support of your liking. So in that context, averaging down makes sense of course, assuming your hypothesis is close to reality.

But the real danger with averaging down is that the hypothesis begins to change and even though the original hypothesis may have already been falsified by reality, a human is prone to modify it to suit himself to avoid having to realize a loss, or even a gain if it isn't what was hoped for.

Getting out of the market when you've been proven wrong is necessary if you want to preserve your capital, and it gives you a chance to form a new opinion.

Changed your mind? Wink

Oddly enough, Huobi is very bearish on the orderbook. Already 5K BTC to reach the 24 hour high of 2183! Thats bad.

Remember that OKCoin/BTCChina orderbooks are mostly bogus. Huobi is not, at least not to the same degree.

I wasnt very convinced this drop was a big deal until seeing that steep mountain of asks on Huobi TBH.

On Bitstamp the dumps came mostly from asks that were added the last 2 days but probably gave up waiting for a pump. Let's see if Huobi follows the same pattern...

Not a single word about LTC, how it's going down and how apparently it wants to take BTC with it?
Seriously now, is was just me expecting a decoupling from LTC and some transients along?

Quote from: Tzupy on August 18, 2014, 01:20:43 PM
same goes for Litecoin, in fact investing in Litecoin is 10X riskier, it is insane but I follow the Risk/Reward rule, the riskier the investment can be the bigger the reward usually is.... see most of you are not objective , you are just a bunch of blind investors.

If you invest in Litecoin now you may be disappointed short term. Litecoin inflation is high, comparable with bitcoin's in 2011.
So far, due to lack of seller pressure and a pump, bitcoin has (temporarily?) recovered, but I doubt litecoin will do the same.
In 2011 bitcoin dropped from 32$ to 2$, now litecoin may drop from 48$ to 3$ - 4$ if it will experience capitulation.

I see capitulation being ~$5-$7.

But yes I see LTC going down in the shorter term but then rebounding upwards near the end of the next Bitcoin rally.

My LTC prediction from 2 months ago just got confirmed (below 4$). But I am afraid I wasn't bearish enough on LTC, it may drop below 3$.

My LTC prediction from August just got confirmed (below 3$).

Price is now similar to 2009, to go up all it needs is increased demand and maybe a shiny Markus & Willy bot.

I'm trying to figure out how introducing of shorting have changed the Bitcoin market. My guess is that leveraged trading should decrease amplitude of bubbles to the proportion of average leverage. So if most traders would go short/long 20:1,  Smiley then bubbles will be 20 times smaller.

IMO if most traders would go 20:1 leveraged, most traders would go bankrupt and then price would collapse.

I don't like the market movement.
I went margin short because the price *must* go to at least 270.

My most probable count (based on Bistamp charts) says that the market should test suport at 305$ within 3 days.
But China, especially BTCchina, looks more bullish. So I just wait in fiat for this to take a clear path one way or another.

PSAR and BB? where do you find those indicators? I only look at bitcoinwisdom.


The 6h PSAR (parabolic stop and reverse) has been a relatively reliable indicator for the last 2 months.
It is yet not close to flipping (except a "noise" caused by the 2k dump). Also, the price evolves still close to the upper Bollinger band.

.@Tzupy: How heavily do you factor TA into your trading?  Do you trade based on TA exclusively, do you factor in news, or do you use it to confirm gut feel?  Serious question.

During the last months, bullish news have provided (somehow unexpected) spikes and good sell points, if I was holding BTC at that time and was awake.
There has been a surprising lack of bad news except the feds' SR auctions, I hope some are still in the pipeline. Grin
My gut feel is usually to sell too early, so I use TA to control my desire to lock in fiat profits. Roll Eyes

I wonder if his students know about his little pastime.

They surely do, I posted my opinions on twitter and on my homepage.

But but they have their own brains and won't care about my opinion anyway.  It is a safe bet that some of them are involved in crypto, possibly creating their own altcoins. 

This past semester I got assigned a lab course where all the students were supposed to develop one project collaboratively.   On the first day I suggested a few possible projects, including an online exchange platform that could be used for stocks, currencies -- or bitcoin.  But they opted for a twitter-like system instead.  And only 6 students signed up for the class (perhaps because they knew that I would expect each one of them to actually write some code).

Interesting... I thought about writing some experimental code for an exchange, but couldn't figure out an algorithm that
would allow multithreaded operation. To execute a huge number of orders per second I guessed mutithreading would be useful.
But each new order to execute depends on the results of the previously executed ones (for the price and available amounts).
Doing inter-thread communication to sort this looks too hard for me (and may kill performance), so it's in the forgotten projects drawer. Roll Eyes

In the end the best explanation to what happened at MtGox is the Peter R's one IMHO:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497289.0

I doubt that. After reading the "Willy report" I came to a different conclusion: that a MtGox staff, possibly Karpeles himself,
pumped up the price with fake fiat, breaking through critical resistance levels and truncating corrections.
The purpose was to "build" a 2x - 4x higher price of a normal bull market, that would attract new and true speculator fiat.
If Karpeles wanted to recover stolen coins from 2011, his trading would have resulted in artificially suppressed prices.

Every time the 6h PSAR flipped to bearish during the last couple of months, the downtrend lasted 2 - 3 days.
It won't take much dump to break support at 305$, and after that a large dump can take the price to 275$.

Traders do this everyday.  Called shorting

Actually the coins are borrowed from long holders or equity is put in place as collateral.

I know it's called shorting, I'm doing it too. But Bistamp could do this on a large scale without collateral and front run the market.

At least we knew where gox was. I still don't understand how Karpeles is alive.

Karpeles is still alive because no one whacked him (yet). I remember reading some "final solution" threats 10 months ago.
He might be in possession of a huge amount of CNY IOUs, waiting to buy at the bottom on Chinese exchanges.
Then he might get his balls squeezed by certain unhappy customers, and might return some coins.

I believe your last option is bullish as well. I suppose depending on what happens after the breach of 275$ changes the situation, but whilst I believe that there is strong possibility we do not break 275$, I also believe there is room to break 275$ and remain in a highly bullish scenario.

Could you explain your thinking on the break of 275$ ? I am interested to hear the perspective.

Lower support than 275$ is at 265$, this mini rally grew from 265$ to 303$, if it drops below 275$ the market "knows" it won't be able to build higher than 303$, so it will go down.

I think short-selling will never end. It's a powerful negative feedback loop. Bitcoiners are killing Bitcoin Shocked

Well selling 6000 coins on finex on Saturday morning isn't anything other than manipulation is it. Certainly not selling for best price.

The buying on BFX this week did not exactly look organic either - exactly the same time 2 days in a row then a trap on the 3rd. Whole thing looks like yet another round of pump and dump.

Just another regular week in Bitcoin!

Stop trying to reason with inca, for him going up is always normal, going down is always manipulation. Cheesy
And the bullish scenario is still valid, if during the next 2 - 3 days the market will be able to break resistance at 297$. If not, bears will rejoice. Wink

We are slowly going up, it doesn't feel like the usual pumps.

Price gain is limited (yet), but market indicators are in the overbought zone. I closed my long, just in case, may reopen later.

There are about 4M$ new longs since the start of this rally (~240$ some 10 days ago), this means about 15k BTC will have to be sold if the rally ends, just to cover those longs.

Some exchanges have difficulties following this rally, part of the bids have been used to buy and it's becoming risky to wait for taking profits.

I wouldn't hold my breath for the longs getting margin called soon. I mean, I'd love this to happen, but I'm not counting on it.
If the market is in a similar position today with the 13th June 2014, then a long squeeze may only happen ~2 months from now.
Back then, longs kept rising until mid July, and were squeezed during the 11th - 18th August crash.

Yeah  Roll Eyes

On the 27th and 30th August 2013 Markus bought a lot of BTC, further faking the bull market (total net BTC bought by Markus = 297628). From the Willy report:

In this table, the first two trades (buy/sell pairs) are by some regular user with ID 238168. In the second trade, this user buys 0.398 BTC for $15.13. The next trade is some large market buy by Markus (ID 698630): note how the “$15.13″ value from the previous trade seems to “stick”; regardless of the volume of BTC bought, the value paid is always $15.13. This is speculation, but perhaps for Markus, the “Money” spent field is in fact empty, and the program that generates the trading logs simply takes whatever value was already there before. In other words, Markus is somehow buying tons of BTC without spending a dime.

Moving averages diverge all the time, which is all MACD really is, calculating the difference between two lines and turning it into momentum.

Seems like a shakeout to me. Volume has been steadily declining as we are nearing the end of the trading range, similar to Dec 2014. The difference then is that we had the Bitstamp hack to bring in sellers to push us lower.

If there's enough volume to get below $235, see you there.

I pretty much share the same short-term view.

Here's DanV's newest projection.

<snip>

 Shocked So effectively the guy that predicted Bitcoin's spiralling down to, what, $50 has now predicted a turnaround and bounce-off of about current levels? Interesting turn of events.

No. If you understand what he has written on TV, and the chart labelling, he is opening up to the possibility that we are still in a corrective move from the $166 low. See his green line to $360, labelled [C] - that would mark the end of the correction (from $166) and resumption of the downtrend to new lows at $xx(x?). IDK if this significantly alters his downside target, but it would certainly drag this bear market out several months longer than his previous count, which had us starting the move to new lows from $300 a month ago. Pick your poison ...

EW counts evolve with price action. To him this current action does not fit well with his previously published chart, so he is publishing a new one, as any sensible analyst would do.
Remember - the best EW analysts have multiple counts running in parallel at any one time. It is only by excluding those that are invalidated and focussing on those with the higher probabilities (according to EW rules) that they stay on track. But they will keep an eye on alt-counts in order to switch if the primary count is invalidated/looks less probable.


Here is the link to the chart with his commentary:

https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/EUytkasj-BTCUSD-FURTHER-SHORT-TERM-WEAKNESS-IN-STORE-WITH-OF-TARGET-210/


I doubt that the breaking down would stop at 210$. Once 4h and 6h MACD divergence would turn negative, IMO large dumps would break the key 210$ support level.
So if the market will go up to 300+, it has to start pumping soon, without any major drops before.

No, bears aren't running out of time. Even if THE bottom was 3 months ago, considering that the market moves slowly, there should be another 1 - 2 months of relatively low prices.
So "buy now OR get burnt" may turn into "buy now AND get burned", in the bearish scenario. In the bullish one, plenty of time to buy, mega-rally only after the block halving in 2016.

No, not scared, this was before the crazy BTC-E pump. I expected a small rise reaching about 230$ today, so at that time I had no reason to be scared.
If I wouldn't have been lazy (by delaying placing the short limit order for the next day), yes I would have been scared when seeing the crazy pump.

On other news:

95.00  +13.00 (30.95%)

I really have to wonder what's keeping this baby down...  Wink

PS: "The List" is updated. Doesn't even gets funny anymore; 5 Sockpuppets only for today. Busy times for NLC...

I have a question about GBTC: If you buy a share, can you convert it to real bitcoin? (Maybe it sounds stupid, but I think it's important and not obvious because of this trend with "advanced trading assets" and other shit talk)

EDIT: And I support "The List" 100%!

That's what I believe too. That if you actually buy a share you actually buy the equivalent BTC amount. I don't have an account there, but I believe there should be an option to get your BTCs out if you'd like...

I think you buy bitcoin IOUs, just as on exchanges. The difference is that you can buy BTC IOU on exchanges for 235$ and then request a withdrawal of your real BTC.

Is it possible to tell who has been pulling these two rallies?

Could it be people buying bitcoins somewhere else to move them to ITBit?

Or a reaction to the GBTC recovery?  (BTW, what happened to that 50'000 share bid?)

Dear prof, IIRC some time ago you discovered the fractal nature of bitcoin price.
I suggest to take a look at the action of the 30th July 2014. The difference is that there was no drop and fast recovery like now before the pump.
Expect high volume and turbulence the next days, possibly up to ~260$, and permabulls raving over the action.

Everyone's eyes should be glued to the charts at this pivotal point.

Could you elaborate more please.
Daily and weekly Bollinger bands are at the tightest levels they've been at for years. This is in addition to the volume flattening out over a long time. A breakout here is likely to set the tone for the coming weeks and months.



Considering that daily PSAR is bearish and daily MACD turned negative, while price is hugging the lower daily BB, the likely scenario is bearish.

well, the driving force behind litecoin is bitcoin. Someone pumped a lot of btc into ltc.

I say> good !

Some BTC holders believe that moving into LTC will yield greater profits, due to the upcoming LTC halving, which is quite possible.
A lot of BTC will be eventually be sold to realize the LTC profits. Also, the LTC pump drains fiat that would be used for BTC pumping.
There is a weak correlation between the prices, works short term, but long term this is bearish for BTC.

Actually, when critical support at 210$ will be breached by a 10$ drop, it will go down quite fast and will eventually reach a new low, but this will take some time.

had sold some around 274 & went back all-in today.

which means price can tank violently now.
 

No it can't tank "now", because in 12h time frame the PSAR is bullish and price hugs the upper BB, also 1d PSAR may flip to bullish today, in which case 260$ is possible.

The pump got the daily MACD to cross to positive, also flipped the daily PSAR to bullish, so we will go up for a while.
But considering the huge Chinese volume (if it's not fake), for the relatively small price increase, breaking further resistance levels won't be easy.

My guess is that the month-long rise from ~220 to ~270 was due to MMM's "Republic of Bitcoin" ponzi, while the spike to ~280 over the last two days was due to the VAT decision.
It seems that the VAT news have already been forgotten.  "Wat VAT?"  Cheesy

Most of the rise was a normal market movement after the rather deep correction before.
But the huge buys in China are probably related to this, interpreted as bullish news (authorities friendly towards bitcoin):
https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/chinas-cyberspace-administration-acknowledges-bitcoin/
But the CAC is NOT the PBoC, so it was kind of "buy the rumor" thing. I expect sometime in the next weeks an official statement of the PBoC on this. Wink

I really don't want to entertain the MMM discussion but I find it funny how we're supposed to believe these people from South Africa are all active & buying on Chinese exchanges during chinese day time    Roll Eyes

The MMM ponzi has pages in other languages and (thanks to bitcoin) can make victims everywhere, not just in one country.  OKCoin's CEO just confirmed that they are seeing buying pessure connected to MMM and several copycat ponzis in China.

The question is how long will the Chinese authorities take to deal with these ponzis, and how hard will this impact bitcoin.
The most radical move would be to shut down all mainland Chinese exchanges and make bitcoin (wallet) possession a crime, then we could see single digits.

These ups and downs between 420 and 370 remember me to the ATH bubble. The 500 from yesterday was the 1200. Then we went slowly and slowly down. Not sure if this ship will sink one day or fly to the moon. Because of these pump and dumps people lose interest. Its an highly risky investment to buy bitcoins. This is no real currency and no investment. This is gambling.

@500 I was at zero after 2 years of holding. I Should have sold them and gtfo of BTC. I cant imagine we ever will pass 500 ever again. Not in 1 year not in 5 years. Greedy mofos always will payout before the price can tank more.

After these corrections there should be a significant rebound, probably in the 450$ range. If it will reach 500$ and above again, then keep hodling, if 450$ proves too much resistance, then better cut your losses there.

i hope price will stabilize right now after falling


It is possible to stabilize in the $350 to $420 territory, but it is very doubtful that such stabilization will occur in the short term.  Simply, there is way too much volume currently, and that demonstrates that there is a bit of a battle going on in this price range.

I think that the volume has to go down before prices will stabilize,  which could mean that prices return to the $350 to $420 price range, but still the direction remains a bit indeterminative.

 I tend to believe that if prices are going to stabilize in the near term (within the next month or two), they will stabilize a bit above $420 rather than below $350.  That's just my hunch based on the overall history and seeming price dynamics, and absent any major developments in the news, whether FUD or not..

+1

well vol appears to be going down a little bit, big move coming soon.

There's a rather large triangle that should break soon, but it keeps narrowing instead.
The BB are are also getting narrower, should break one way or another within 2 hours.

Your short term technical indicators have no power here.  Smiley

Well done, bulls... You made me close my short at a loss, but fortunately I didn't buy into this fools' mini-rally.
Failure to break resistance IMO will result in the formation of a larger triangle that will break down in a couple of days.

What about just a pump?

It would have to pick up some fuel and interest on the way up then. Volume is paltry, relatively speaking.

With this volume it can't go either up or down. I'd lean towards a pump, and would jump on one, but I'd need to see volume first, and very small corrections.

It really wasn't that big of a move. I'm sorry to tell you, but my rule is that the less I trade the more money I make. You just have to be patient and not try and be cute and hang on every little move.

The market is at a crossroads. It could break up or down, with large amplitude and potential large profits for those who get on board.
So traders are trying to get early on the train, whatever the direction, because missing the start could lead to a 50% potential profit miss.

OK Adam, let's try this: what will happen 3 - 4 hours from now, a dump or a pump?
I have a small long since 354$ and am leaning towards a pump, in which case I'll max the long and close it tomorrow, hopefully around 400$.
In case of a dump I'll close the small long to avoid losses, but I won't short (yet, need a clearer picture).

What do you do if the dumpers merrily dump straight through your (small) bid, and keep dumping down to hellish levels before you get a chance to react? Is that a chance you have to take when trying to catch a falling knife? I was tempted to buy yesterday but I couldn't work out when the dumps would stop.

This wasn't a falling knife, so it was relatively safe to catch. Something close to a falling knife may happen on Saturday, so tomorrow I may open a short.
If that short won't confirm, I'll have to close it at a small loss, so today I tried to make a small profit to balance that future potential small loss.

Seriously, you guys are still counting BTC/CNY volume on Huobi and OKCoin? Get a clue.

Thinking is kinda what we do here now. Old-timer. Tongue
Calling me 'old timer' only adds to my point here. Nearly two years ago I left, when all of this Chinese bs was going on, and when I came back I expected was ample time for the Chinese to be completely capitulated and out of the market, and that that fake CNY volume would be completely debunked. In fact it is well known that the CNY volume is fake and it was even way back then. Coindesk doesn't even include those exchanges in it's calculation. USD and adoption are supposed to be running the show now, but here we still have jokers talking about how 'the imaginary chinese whale dumped his 80,000btc/cny on Huobi'.

Except that it's not USD and adoption running the show, if it were so then price would be sub 200$.
The largely fake Chinese volume, with apparently Huobi leading, is driving the price.

Buitenhek said that one of the driving forces behinds the bank's efforts to explore bitcoin and the blockchain that underlies it is the fact that a large number of its staff had already been experimenting with the technology on their own initiative.

“Two years ago – somewhere in 2013 – we started to look at this. We found out that over 100 of our IT staff were playing with applications of blockchain, including bitcoin. We didn’t even know about it.”

12 hr has been my favorite timescale as of late, rather bullish looking these last few months... Yet still long enough that fluctuations are at least a little dampened.

If we can assume that the market has turned and we are now in a majority bullish market,  what would it take to revert to a bear market at this point?

Well, as a permabull my little worry is that we had a finex crash both in aug 2014 and aug 2015. So, since Bitcoin is mostly for speculation atm, there might be unease in the market about jan 2016. An unease that someone easily could take advantage of. I seriously doubt that we'll see anything like a 50% drop, but 10-15% shouldn't be impossible.

For comparison I am not looking at January or August, I am looking at 17 - 18 March 2015, but with market movements taking 2 - 3 times longer.

The volatility IMO is due entirely to the hard fork. A big player (likely miner) sold at 450 because they know what is coming.

The most obvious explanation is Mike's ragequit, which got wide exposure in the media (NYT, Motherboard, TechCrunch, Reuters, ...)  It was also commented in Chinese forums.  I can't think of any other suiltable explanation for the sudden drop.

After all this time, prof Stolfi hasn't learned TA. Mike's drama made the drop deeper, but it was coming anyway.

and then had to close the short at a small loss, so now I'm waiting, it may crash this weekend or climb to 400$ and then crash.
Anyway IMO support at 300$ must be tested, even in a bullish scenario.

no way it's going to crash hard, any second now.


Where's the resistance Tzupy?   Maybe around $438, or would you place it higher, like $448?  I personally consider it to be around $438... but I'm just kind of guessing (like most of us).

The (little?) pump started, as for resistance, I guess about 15$ from the starting point, in the bearish short term scenario. If it breaks 450$, I'll buy the next dip.

Statement today from Prohashing:

We're a business. Altcoins are now cheaper to use than bitcoin. Therefore, we use altcoins wherever possible. Businesses exist to earn money, and bitcoin is now cutting into our profits by siphoning off fees and wasting developer time in answering angry customer service "you're stealing my money because I never received it!" E-Mails.
This original post isn't some deceit to try to game people into buying or using altcoins for whatever reason. It's simply a statement that we can provide better service by issuing payouts in litecoin or any of these other networks. If we can encourage people to use altcoins, we can increase everyone's profit by cutting fees, and we can also write more features because we won't have to spend time reassuring customers that we aren't thieves.
Feel free to disagree on the merits of the post, but I don't think it's helpful to assume bad faith.


Live and learn Undecided

This could be the turning point, altcoins that can be easily converted into fiat start to replace bitcoin.
Early adopters see the danger and start hedging, that is... dumping bitcoins! Cheesy

I thought we as a community would get our shit together. And as everything points to a decision point for (several month ) in the first decade of March, I thought this only could mean up. Now, as the decision point is around the corner, I think I could have been totally wrong and from here we could see the slow bleeding death of Bitcoin.

I observed my own behaviour for several month. Even in Jan. 2015 at $160 I bought a hell of coins, because I believed in the community. Since then no new money (from me) entered the Bitcoin space despite I still am expanding my crypto holdings. I think I was wrong and the decision point means down not up for bitcoin.

Edit: I left fiat because I couldn't agree with how it works. If I stay with Bitcoin while I feel the same, it is kind of self-betrayal.

Thank you for the detailed answer. So you lost faith in the community, and maybe many others feel the same, so now you are preparing for the worst, this makes sense to me.

From an EW perspective, things don't look so bleak yet. The current wave structure could lead to a testing of support at 300$, that I have been expecting for a long time,
and almost lost faith in my own analysis. If this testing will happen, only after another month or two will it be possible to say if the bear market is back or not.

28 million in leveraged longs on BFX. Shorts barely changed.  This is a dangerously unstable situation.  Every one of those longs have to close at some point, either at a profit or a loss. It amounts to massive overhead resistance.

Where the hell is the pump gonna come from? Halving is priced in. SegWit is priced in even though it may not happen or happen on a longer time frame than expected.  Global economic stability? Bitcoin lost 5% in a day, hardly a safe haven asset, especially given the current governance situation.

Bitcoin is a honeybadger, so price may go up, but if it does, it will be in spite of fundamentals, not because of them.  There can be no sustainable rise without a permanent scaling solution.

The most important part is that 8 M$ are new longs opened since 21st February, when price was 450$, so they are underwater now, and more down could trigger a long squeeze.

A crash is coming?  Are you talking about  $380 again, $360 or lower?


Are you calling this a pre-halving crash?


Hm?   We could really get tricked by this kind of probably crash thinking and sell our bitcoins when the price shoots up to $467 and maybe higher.  

I'm gonna continue to play conservative with my stash even though I am getting a bit more worried about whether there is enough steam for upward momentum.   I'm thinking that my worry could be a sign that upward momentum may come, but I'm not holding my breath..

I think that both of us have the sense that if prices get into the $470s or above, then we likely heading in at least the lower $600s... but we gotta get to the $470s first.

I believe we are in the middle of a complex correction, but within a larger bullish trend, at least so far.
So my favorite scenario is a small pump, followed by a triangle that will break down, and then daily MACD will cross to negative, a good reason for a crash.

Pft deterring fees will occur automatically as the block reward disappears. At a price of 500$/BTC it would work out like this:

1 block (25 bitcoins) created every 10 minutes -> for each minute, 2.5 bitcoins are created X $500/bitcoin = $1250/minute.
So every minute $1250 in fees needs to come from transactions (instead of the block rewards today)
Using 10 transactions/sec as maximum speed (with current block size), 600 transactions each minute.
$1250/600 transactions = $2,08 per transaction.

Even higher BTC price -> even higher fees.

Edit: and if you use 5 tx/s instead of the theoretical 10 tx/s the amount doubles.

Yup. What's wrong with $4 a transaction? Totally fine. $40 a tx is fine too ....
the problem is see with that is that it isn't very competitive...

poeple will start using centralized BTC  payment processors 
poeple will start using altcoins

and the idea that we can't do better then 5tx/s is insulting

make segwit
make block interval 2.5mins
make block size 8MB

there i've solved bitcoin scaling!  Cheesy

If there is another serious test of $500 resistance, I will indeed get out and I won't ever come back unless there is a change in governance at a minimum.  I'm looking for that safe port to disembark.


Another serious test of 500$ resistance would break it, and then better wait for 650$ to get out... Wink
Of course, I am counting on a failed test to break 450$, and then a nice crash. Grin

Except your account was sold and is now run by some Zionist banker shills.  Entire post history is "omg price is crashing to $1 tomorrow!

Rampant delusion... I became a bear since I noticed artificial pumps, during the summer - autumn of 2013. Later those pumps became known as the work of Markus and Willy.
And I never claimed a crash to $1 tomorrow. But I do post when I smell a bearish move, although I may be wrong.

Your posts are dog shit because you're just a flat out propagandist liar.  This is the only one where you even speak a glimmer of truth.  That you want the price to crash so you can buy.  You don't actually think the price is going to crash, you just spam non-stop "omg the price is going to crash to $1 at any second" praying that it does.

People who do nothing but lie 24 hours a day are called sociopaths and psychopaths.  The fact that you think this is acceptable behavior means you are a trash human and should probably do some self introspection to fix yourself.  Whether someone is my friend or enemy, I have no need to lie to either.



Except that you are the liar. In one sentence you managed to lie 3 times: "account sold" - that never happened; "Zionist banker shill" - I am not a zionist nor a banker; and the third with "crashing to $1 tomorrow".
I am not going to extrapolate this to 24 hours and call you names, other can draw their own conclusions.

I do speak my book, as do most of posters here. And so far the price has failed to break 450$, so right now the bearish scenario is more probable, and I am counting on it.
The MACD is negative in 1h, 2h, 6h, 12h and 1d time frames, 6h and 12h PSAR have flipped to bearish yesterday, so it does look promising for the bears.
If there will be a crash, I expect to test 300$ support, that's something I have been waiting for a long time. My bids (to close my short) are now in the 300$ - 320$ area.

Should I sell now in order to be ahead of the game?


Even with that charting of a breaking down in China, I am only slightly bearish for the next 3% break out...  maybe 52.75% betting on down... 

The mid $420s resistance has been proving a bit more formidable than I had expected, and possibly could be a few more weeks to get passed that point.

I do understand that when we are suffering from overall relative low volume, that leaves quite a bit of control to manipulators.. and it seems that bears tend to push their agenda a bit more in the low volume scenarios... and recently no one seems to getting too excited about possibilities of getting left behind.

Despite the worsening market indicators, price has been more resilient than I expected.
Two months ago, similar indicator crossings resulted in large drops. Now I am trying to figure out how much slower the current market is moving.

Don't fight it, Tzupy.    Wink Wink 


I recall earlier that you had recognized an overall uptrend, so even if we are having a large number of downward price pressures, there is only so much that the price can be pushed down when the overall trend remains up.   Shocked



I am not fighting the market... Since it became obvious that the crash window was missed, I closed my short.
Am not going long yet, I seriously doubt the bulls can pump to 450+ (480 would be right) to keep the upward channel viable.
I currently believe the bulls will try to build the new higher high and will fail, and then the panic selling will begin.
Even if they will succeed, there will be a correction afterwards to get back in, at maybe 5-10% higher than current price, so I won't miss much.

Even though you seem thrilled to find and post bearish bitcoin news, those articles could also be read as bullish... - especially the second one because in the end, there seems to be quite a bit of decentralized decision-making and investment going into bitcoin, that signifies that individuals (and small companies, and maybe even governments) will be continuing to invest in bitcoin's computing power and into securing the blockchain (as well as attempting to control some of the mining process).

Good ole competition may well cause a computing power arms race in respects to bitcoin.  Even if it seems to be wasteful, it surely shows anticipated ongoing interest.

Plenty of permabulls here, happy to post bullish news, I'm just playing for the other team. Cheesy
About market direction, IMO if during the next 2 days there won't be a pump that turns 6h MACD to positive, then we'll crash.
If there will be a pump, we'll still crash after that, but from a higher price point... Grin

you cannot send funds to an invalid address wallets make sure the address you are sending to is a valid address

"1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE"

If I understood correctly, a properly coded wallet should forbid sending to an invalid address, but a buggy one could allow this.

What are the origins of segwit? Was it long proposed as a nice idea by multiple people or did it arrive out of nowhere from a single source and tickle everyone pink?

SegWit was presented by Blockstream's Pieter Wuille to the world at the end of the second Bitcoin Stalling conference in Hong Kong.  The video of his talk should be on YouTube. Apparently it was a surprise to most people there, except Blockstream folks of course.  Indeed I would say that Blockstream planned the conferences to be just a stage for the SegWit announcement.  

According to Pieter himself, he thought of SegWit some time ago, but put it aside because he believed that it would require a hard fork.  But then Luke Dash Jr. found a way to make SegWit into a soft-fork type of change, by using a script hack and redefining one of the NOP opcodes. That made it possible to deploy it in Blockstream's favorite "stealth mode".  (That is, the change is effective as soon as a miner majority adopts it, whether full nodes, users, and businesses like it or not.)

AFAIK, the only significant improvement that SegWit brings is to fix various malleability problems in one go.  Even that benefit could be obtained much more cleanly by other means, without changing the block and transaction format; but this cleaner solution would require a hard fork, and also the discarding of Pieter and Luke's ingenious hack -- so obviously it could not happen.

I haven't heard of the "fraud proofs" in a while.  In the initial description, they seemed to be more "hints" than "proofs"; and it was never clear how they would be used, and for what.

One interesting "benefit" of SegWit was to make people aware that soft forks are actually more dangerous than hard forks.  With SegWit's "extension record" trick, a soft fork can achieve many of the taboo changes that were thought to require a hard fork; such as increasing the block reward (and therefore the 21 million issuance cap) or confiscating coins. As soft forks, those changes would require only the agreement of a mining majority, without the consent of the rest of the community.  However, for that same reason, there is nothing that the community or the developers can do to prevent non-consensual soft forks.

It's good to see you around, Prof Stolfi! I thought you lost interest in Bitcoin and were attending other issues, like this:
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processo_de_impeachment_de_Dilma_Rousseff
Anyway, it would be nice to know more about the possibility of increasing the block reward by a soft-fork, backed only by a miner majority.

Raising the 21 million BTC limit with a soft fork

Thank you, I wasn't aware of this. But to make it work, a consensus between the majority of miners and the developers would have to be reached.
Or a cartel of miners that has the required hashing power could hire their own developer team and replace the current team, like a miner's coup?
I'm interested about this possibility since it should provide a massive shorting opportunity. Grin

Frequently, you can be a reasonable guy, but comments like these are just way too much....

I didn't say "300$ right away", did I? But this dump is damaging the bullish scenario, so the probability of testing 300$ increases.
I wasn't shorting, on the contrary I had a small long, and the dump triggered the stop loss.

Let someone else attack that wall with force, then maybe I'll take a little bite too. I was expecting a little pump, but with low volume a 4.5k ask wall should hold.

How about another bear logic: let some guinea pigs try to break resistance at 500$, reach about 550$, then I'll buy the next dip, because it should reach 700+.

ive said this many times, halving is priced in, those that want to buy already have. There is not enough buy support to maintain a pump. Theres waaaay to many people hoping to dump on noobs at $600+...problem is even the noobs now use google and have access to a wealth of information unlike 2013 when everybody was a noob,lol.
BTC is gonna dump real hard in the next month or so..probably back to $300s over summer...then watch out for oct ( good times begin again)

Your bear logic on the night of May 5th didn't work. You said the 4.5k ask wall should hold, went to bed, and straight afterwards the price shot up over $15 while you slept. You left some guinea pigs to break resistance, and they did it. What if the guinea pigs do it again?



I see a fairly decent sized wall, and no one is talking about it here. Now I have the sad.

Edit: Wall shrinks

Yeah, Bitfinex wall grew from 1.5k to 4.5k, then shrank back. But it was enough to make me close my long at a tiny loss (slippage and fees).
Let someone else attack that wall with force, then maybe I'll take a little bite too. I was expecting a little pump, but with low volume a 4.5k ask wall should hold.



Point taken. Bitfinex chose to follow the Chinese market leader, despite this:



I later opened a small long at 452$ and closed it a bit higher, I believe the market is now forming a triangle, and I'll buy back if it breaks up (but hope it will break down  Grin).

Market leader Huobi is going to run out of steam...

Except you're a known shill and every single one of your posts claims the price will "crash any second"

Here's one of your last useless HERP DE DER posts.  Looks like that May 24th prediction didn't work out too well huh, shill?

The evolution of the bid sum on various exchanges does not support a bullish scenario.

The cockroach ate most of my post, so here it is whole. The current 50$ or more difference between Huobi and western exchanges is reflected in it.

The evolution of the bid sum on various exchanges does not support a bullish scenario. Compared with December with a top of 475$, the bids are now much lower on
western exchanges, down to 50% on Bitstamp. On Huobi, I suspect a whale / miner bullish manipulation: some 30 - 40 million CNY have been added to the bids during the
last month, but without a real intent on buying, or we would be over 500$ already. Those bids have been pulled every time a minor dump occurred.
Daily MACD has crossed to negative on Bitfinex and Bitstamp, but not on Chinese exchanges yet. So IMO the market  is vulnerable to bad news, especially from China.
A possible bad news could be the auctioning of the 202k BTC during the MtGox distribution, which could be announced tomorrow (or not, distribution by BTC would be bullish).
If the auction(s) will take place, this could trigger 2 tests of the bottom support, one on the announcement, the other on the auction. After the distribution by fiat
I would expect a rally, fueled by FOMO buying with the newly available funds.

PS. Found a scenario that is in line with my expectations.
https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/bRHCR1I2-Bitcoin-The-End-of-an-Era/


And my next post, before he pump was:

The Chinese pumpers are about to invalidate my scenario (short term bearish, medium term bullish), and may give RyNinDaCleM's scenario the first row.
In such case, here is how I would expect this to happen, a bit slower if the current timings are to continue:

They're going to have to try harder than that. Remember in November '13 when someone (Mark?) put up 10,000 BTC @ $200 on Gox?

I remember, but it was at 260$, and made me panic sell. Bought back after it was eaten.

right. all the way down to $430 or so (stamp).

Nope. Any significant drop under 500$ favors the bearish scenario, the lower the worse.
So buying and holding from 430$ would carry a high risk, because of the high probability to drop below 200$.

They are probably closing everyone's positions before reopening.  Brace yourself for the cries of indignation.  Why can't I go long on trader outrage.  

That might be the safest of the options, to close everyone's position (at least within a 5 to 10% range of the current price)

A correction which was due, but triggered early by Finex panic, perhaps. Either way, up from here.

Not so fast, a correction like this is not resolved within a day. I expect at least a double bottom and perhaps a deeper correction to $610 level or $570. Could take 2 more weeks or longer before we resume the uptrend.

Typically, the market builds a triangle that breaks up. But I believe that mini-rally will become a bit of a bull trap. Wink

The big triangle should break one way or another several hours from now.
Previously the bid sum evolution on Huobi looked bullish, but now the asks have reached an ATH of 54k BTC.

I can't believe this fuckin shit. I was about to put in a 20x long position at that drop when we dropped to 655 on stamp.

If we go don't go below there ever again...

May have to do with the 3x on finex

Well, I panic bought with 3x at 675$... Let's see how this goes, but IMO could reach 1200$, in 3 - 4 weeks.

Security breach on Bitfinex

Today we discovered a security breach that requires us to halt all trading on Bitfinex, as well as halt all digital token deposits to and withdrawals from Bitfinex.

We are investigating the breach to determine what happened, but we know that some of our users have had their bitcoins stolen. We are undertaking a review to determine which users have been affected by the breach. While we conduct this initial investigation and secure our environment, bitfinex.com will be taken down and the maintenance page will be left up.

The theft is being reported to — and we are co-operating with — law enforcement.

As we account for individualized customer losses, we may need to settle open margin positions, associated financing, and/or collateral affected by the breach. Any settlements will be at the current market prices as of 18:00 UTC. We are taking this necessary accounting step to normalize account balances with the objective of resuming operations. We will look at various options to address customer losses later in the investigation. While we are halting all operations at this time, we can confirm that the breach was limited to bitcoin wallets; the other digital tokens traded on Bitfinex are unaffected.

We will post updates as and when appropriate on our status page, bitfinex.statuspage.io. We are deeply concerned about this issue and we are committing every resource to try to resolve it. We ask for the community’s patience as we unravel the causes and consequences of this breach.

bitfinex.statuspage.io, support@bitfinex.com

Great!Just great!
Couldn't get any better! Could it?
Idiots!

I can't believe this shit... Angry

Yeah, but my reason to buy LTC for withdrawal was that no LTC were stolen, as opposed to the 120k BTC missing. So there should be more LTC actually available for withdrawal ASAP.

Umm... no. The restrictions didn't apply this time, and many have already left. The bid side is now about 10x smaller than before the "hack", the ask side about 8x smaller. So Buttfiness is irrelevant now...

OKcoin get fined by The Higher People's Court of Heilongjiang Province,the judge is finished at July 14th,and put online at July 29th.This judge is beyond most people's awareness because the company and and other peer companies didn't want to spread the news until today(20160813) The Securities Times(in Chinese is 证券时报)criticized that blockchain trading should be subject to legal supervision by describing a recent case in a passage without naming the defendant is OKcoin.
As we all know,Chinese authority’s attitude towards bitcoin is restricting the use and prohibiting bitcoin links to the Substantial Economy.Since this judge is the first judge that the major Chinese bitcoin exchange is the defendent,we can get some real concerns of the athority by analyzing the judgments.
○The business on OKcoin is illegal
"Lekuda company’s main business is OKCOIN ,which is a virtual currency exchange.It provides customers with a web space to exchange virtual assets and it profits by charging its clients fees (0.2%-0.4%) . Its dealings in accordance with the the 22nd Case of Network Management of Transactions (in Chinese 《网络交易管理办法》. According to this law,if the company wanted to provide online trading business,it should register at the administration of Industry and Commerce and get a business license.Lekuda company registered business scope only include such areas:technology development, transfer of technology, technical services, technical marketing, consulting and investment management.Trading bitcoin for profit-making purpose is beyond the range permitted by the administrative authorities . "

 → It shows OKcoin runs the business without approval
○OKcoin(it refers to okcoin.cn) is not recorded at the Telecommunications authorities of China "To the end of the trial, Lekuda failed to provide related materials recorded at the Telecommunications Authority registration .The address/domain name record information is not stamped with the seal of the Department, and it could not prove its effectiveness "
 →In China,every online service provider should be registered at the Telecommunications authorities. It shows OKcoin lacks the recorded approval documents ,so it cannot provide online service in mainland China
○OKcoin failed to strictly review the real names of every user,which makes it easy for money washing by bitcoin This case is caused by a criminal utilizing the loose review of user's real names in OKcoin .The criminal first cheated a company a large sum of money(12 million RMB,or 1.8 million US dollars),then used ID cards bought online to open up an acounts at OKcoin,at last used the money to buy Bitcoins and withdrawed in Macao.
 →Since the Chinese authorities prohibited any third-party payment services linking to bitcoin trading in 2014,the exchanges in China had to use the the accounts of its employee or other companies,a loose review of the real names increase the risk of money laundering,which the Chinese authorities would not like to see.They are afraid of the money flee from China.

Thank you, this is something to keep an eye on. It could turn very bearish if Chinese authorities would decide to shut down the mainland exchanges. Shocked

There is a large triangle formed during the last 4 weeks, it should break one way or another in less than a week.
If it will break up, it won't go far IMO, but could form the wave 1 of a new rally.
But if it will go up nicely, close to 750$, then correct, then this would be very bullish IMO.

Getting anywhere near the $700s would be a nice little treat for us "hanging in there" for the past couple of months, including the early August crash.

I didn't say that it will break up, although I lean that way. I suspect that most of Chinese pump money is still on exchanges and could be put to use soon.
While it won't break the 790$ of June, a near future bullish development could strengthen the case for a larger bullish scenario.

Negligible change since yesterday... $749USD/$1011CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

It's been pretty flat this week. What will the weekend bring? Down before up? Simple move upward? More sideways?

Even if it dips, I seriously doubt it will go much below $720.



In a couple of days there should be another attempt to break resistance. If it fails to, then the uptrend will be broken and we'll test support and we'll have a boring 2017.

1)  There is not going to be a 1 or 2% dump before the pump?  You could be correct, we have had a few dump attempts, already.

2) I was thinking a kind of similar pump range of about $1,060 to $1,180, ish.. so you and I are in a similar ballpark in that respect... though I think that there is a chance that price could break upwards through such resistance and the resistance at that level is not inevitably going to cause a price reversal..

3) After reaching $1,100-ish, I can see a dump of 15% to 25%, but 40% seems quite a bit too high and too optimistic (given the current circumstances) - unless some facts change.. but then again, that is why you have a bear as your avatar and I have a fairy dancer... hahahaha.

Pump started, 6h PSAR flipped to bullish on Chinese exchanges. Not let's see if it can break resistance at 7007 CNY. On the other hand, I could have slept a couple more hours... Sad

You could have had a nice lie in today instead of getting up early for that pump to about 1100$. A piddley $10 pump was all we got.

But you predicted a pump to about 1100$ on New Year's day. You got up early for it, but it took another four days to go that high. What makes you think you can be so accurate today when your New Years's day prediction was out by four days?


I am expecting, in a couple of hours, the last pump of this rally, taking us to about 1100$, spending a couple of days there before crashing 40%.
To be sure of catching it, I had to wake up early on the 1st January, grrr... Angry

If it does crash I think it will be a small correction, not a 40% correction. It could carry on up past the Gox ATH without many downs.

When I predicted the last pump to about 1100$ I didn't claim it would happen in 1 day (or other time frame), so I wasn't "out by four days".
If the next larger dump will happen in about 12 hours, then I expect the Chinese to build a large triangle that should break, probably down, in another 4 - 5 days.
And the 40% correction is the whole ABC, the A and C should be each about 30%.

It's possible, but I doubt it.

A large one *will* follow, but it's not time yet.

How large do you think?


About 3x the amplitude of this small dump, if the bearish scenario is favored, we'll see soon...

well, tzupy, I guess you were wrong.


Embarrassing... I counted the 1 - 3 - 5 of the 1 and called the top, but the real 3 and 5 were yet to come...
The 3x amplitude of a future correction may still happen in China, but western exchanges didn't properly follow, so they will drop less.

Crazy that a dump like that can alter the price in a space of minutes.

So i guess it's a good thing right? There are limited coins and always will be. If someone holds a large number and dumps their coins or a large amount of them they will be bought up by a big number of people therefore spreading the coins around and preventing another dump of these particular coins in one go.

So, (if that makes sense) am I right in saying the more of those sudden dumps we have is a good thing long term as it spreads btc around?

Please feel free to tell me I am typing pure horse shit if that's the case.

Both the FOMO top and the big dump on OKCoin and Bitfinex were ridiculous IMO. If this is good or not for bitcoin...

China won't drop right now, so either the last small part of the dump is truncated, or delayed for several hours. 5000 CNY would have been a bear's wet dream. Cheesy

I never margin trade, but this is a moment I would expect some smart types to go long.

You still think we have further to go down?

I am not criticising - given your recent prescience, I am asking.

Quite likely to go further down, but not right now. Go long only for scalping.

At last the Chinese dumped (as usually, started at 3.45 am my time, while I was asleep), probably completed the second leg down of A. This took too long and almost made me believe it was truncated.
If I am right and the third leg down is to come, resistance moved to about 6300 CNY. I am expecting a small bounce into that resistance, and sideways for two days, then the third leg down.

Someone trading on OKCoin must have read my "resistance at 6300 CNY", because it stopped at 6299 CNY. This correction should bounce from support, and then retest support tomorrow morning.

The market has slowed down, and the Chinese established a critical support at 6100 CNY. If this will be broken, which could happen tomorrow, then the third leg down will be confirmed and A would end soon.

Yeah, but you're bearish more often than not. I remain convinced that Bitcoin is a long-term successful moonshot. I remain serene in the face of crashes. Is now analogous to Oct 2013? Frankly, I have no idea. But it could be. More importantly, some time in the not-too distant future will be analogous to Oct 2013.

In the meantime, I await -- seated comfortably at my pick-a-nick table -- awaiting mah fine and glorious repast.

If you would think deeper about what I said, you would understand how bullish I am long term. Wink Hint: what price was in August 2012 and what price in October 2013?

If the B scenario will become true, I expect to go sideways for the next 4 - 7 days, and then correct 30%, to about 660$ on western exchanges.

I think that you guys are talking about July/August (and not June/July) because the Bitfinex "hack" happened on August 2.

right?

I am talking about June 30th to July 8th, when critical support was tested. We might test the current critical support later today and probably bounce from it.
When this little pump failed, a number of traders understood the bearish implications and dumped, so the equivalent of the period mentioned above may get truncated.

It looks like there is a sea behind that mountain or there isn't. Great prediction, tzupy. As always.

The correction started earlier than I expected, because of bad news from China, but so far was only 21% to 24%, instead of my expected 30%.
However this looks bottomish, so this may have been all. Roll Eyes BTW, you posted that you went leveraged long a lot higher than the current bottom, how did that go?

This pump and dump is an exact pattern from the last two years, every six months like clockwork bitcoin spikes and then tanks. Forget the Gox-inflated, fake bubble. Bitcoin is probably the most remarkably consistent and predictable investment you can make.

Price will find a floor, price will be volatile, then go sideways, then spike. You have a window of opportunity now to prepare for the next run. If you got burned this time, take a deep breath and realize that your mistake was that you forgot you were going to just buy and HODL to take your profits Wink

Pump failed... Hmm, will this lead to another leg down? Or at least test support?

Many thanks for the cheap coins.

Tzupy, where is the final leg of the sell off? I hoped to get some even cheaper.

If this was an ABC, then it's probably completed the C, and now it's building a triangle. Support could be tested over the next days, so a bit cheaper than right now is possible.

Aw c'mon mastertzup - you were willing to throw out $660 when we were at $1100 and many called you crazy!

I'd love to know whether the past few days market activity has shifted your number up, down, or unchanged.

Not enough data right now to make an educated guess, I need to find out more accurately how fast the market is moving (or mistake a subwave for a wave).

the next 24 dumps are critical.

The next several hours (from now) are critical. If we'll have more dumps and test (might even break) support at 5200 CNY, even if it will bounce, a very bearish scenario would become possible.
If however there will be a small pump (that would hold for a while), then further support testing is unlikely to break and should result in a large triangle that should break upwards, with target around 8000 CNY.

Well, maybe the whole point is to make Chinese volume less frenetic.
less volume, less influence.
their volume will probably go from 40% to 10-20% shortly
It is better for us in the west.
Thanks, China!

The PBOC claims its actions are intended to make Bitcoin price less volatile. Ironically every action it's recently taken has created a huge short term dump.

However, who's going to deposit Bitcoins to an exchange that's frozen withdrawals for the next month? If nobody deposits that's less Bitcoins China can dump to suppress the price.

Bullish.

Here is what have happened.

During first meeting, one month ago, Chinese bitcoin exchanges were forced by PBoC directly or indirectly to sell part of customer bitcoins to suppress price. Of course, they were assured that the bank will financially compensate them if price moves in the opposite direction. Surprise, surprise, but not really. Price moved in the opposite direction! PBoC took huge loss and worst of all the exchanges now don't have enough bitcoin liquidity to meet customer withdrawals. So, the only logical step forward is to block bitcoin withdrawals under pretext that it was ordered by the bank for AML issues. If bitcoin price stays  above $800 Chinese bitcoin exchanges are toast. PBoC will never truly compensate them.


IMO it's risk management by Chinese traders. They can't withdraw BTC because of AML, and panic dump for CNY.

Just arrived this from Circle to my email:

Potential Bitcoin Changes
We wanted to provide you with some important information regarding potential changes to Bitcoin that could significantly impact bitcoin held in your Circle Account.

As described in our User Agreement, “Bitcoin is a decentralized currency that operates on open source software protocols which can be used, modified or adapted by anyone... As a result of the decentralized nature of Bitcoin it is possible that sudden, unexpected or controversial changes (“forks”) can be made to Bitcoin.”

Based on recent developments in the Bitcoin ecosystem, it now seems likely that one or more forks of Bitcoin may occur in the near future. Any fork of Bitcoin may have a significant impact on the value of bitcoin and your ability to access the bitcoin you hold with Circle.

What should I do?
The only way to avoid the potential negative consequences of a Bitcoin fork is to not hold bitcoin. Just go to Settings > Currency and convert your balance to dollars, pounds or euro (availability is based on where you live). You’ll then be able to hold those funds with Circle or cash out instantly.


Have more inside on this email but i only copied the 2 paragraphs, but can you understand the impact of this to the people ? This can be the reason of  today's dump ?

Sooo...everybody is invited to dump their bitcoins... I better place my bids looow! Grin

Bitmain needed cash for their new data center they invested heavily last year. They sold customer bitcoins. Nothing unusual there. What is confusing is that PBoC came to rescue Chinese short sellers. If we break $1350 next stop will be >$10,000 bitcoin.

Permabull dreams... First 935$ should hold when support will be tested again. And if it will hold, later we may break the ATH, and reach about 2200$ in 3 - 5 months, followed by a 40% correction.

Edit. 935$ not 985$, my bad.

The 2011 price crash in BTC was caused by MtGox. The 2014 price crash was caused by MtGox. The 2018 price crash? Yep, you guessed it.

ref eg : https://www.trustnodes.com/2018/03/07/mt-gox-trustee-sold-half-billion-dollars-worth-bitcoin-bitcoin-cash

The trustnodes article is garbage.
And the February 2018 crash wasn't caused by the Trustee, AFAIK he panic sold 18 thousand BTC close to the February 6th bottom.
As a MtGox creditor, I wish the crash would have been caused by the Trustee, by selling high, but this was not the case.

The MtGox bankruptcy settlement situation demonstrates one more time that The Law Is An Ass.

It is pretty well established in western law that such settlements be conducted on a cash basis. It seems the Japanese courts administering the MtGox deal will hew to this doctrine. As such, creditors will likely be 'made whole' [sic] by awarding them the Yen value of their MtGox accounts, calculated using the price of Bitcoin on the date of receivership.

Of course, BTC has appreciated exorbitantly since then. Given this, MtGox's residual BTC holdings are well in excess of its debts as calculated as per above. Indeed, the recent sale has generated enough fiat to 'make whole' [sic again] the creditors. After this, there remains ~$1.5 B USD worth of crypto in the MtGox coffers.

Again using the established legal protocols, this BTC will likely be considered the property not of MtGox creditors (i.e., after they have been 'made whole' [sic *3]), but of MtGox itself. While the picture is still cloudy, this may result in the rather perverse situation that Karpeles exits this process a very rich man.

The good news is that the required selling would seem to be over. The questionable news is the fate of the remaining funds (i.e. ~3x-4x more than sold so far) remains in limbo, and may be sold at any time, given case disposition. The Vonnegut-esqe news is that a single individual -- either corrupt, incompetent, or both, but clearly undeserving in any instance -- may end up a billionaire.

The Law Is An Ass.

If the Court will reject the Civil Rehabilitation, and continue with bankruptcy, you would be mostly correct. But the Court seems likely to accept CR, it's more a matter of timing.
Please read this: https://wiki.mtgoxlegal.com/en/home/frequently-asked-questions/
I am copy-pasting here the Fisherman analogy from the page linked above, I think it's funny:

A rare type of fish (pisces bitcoinii) is caught every year, by local fishermen (depositors). The fish must be stored in a climate-controlled warehouse so that it will continue to taste good. Fishermen rent space in a common warehouse (Mt. Gox) that also serves as a market, to store their catch of fish during the last season. Some fish-buyers and fishermen also store money (fiat) in the warehouse for short periods of time, but the warehouse is mainly used to store fish (bitcoins).

One year, the warehouse owner (Mark) took a long vacation to Macau (did something irresponsible), and left nobody guarding the warehouse. While he was gone, 75% of the fish and all of the money were taken by thieves. The remaining fish are mixed up so it’s unclear who they belong to (unsecured assets). When the warehouse owner notices this, he declares bankruptcy.

The fish are taken by the bankruptcy trustee, who prepares to sell them and distribute the money from the sale to the fishermen. He takes a very long time though, because a bookie is demanding the fish be sold to pay the warehouse owner’s gambling debts (Coinlab). The next year, the fish that are caught are mostly infected with worms. The price of last year’s fish catch skyrockets, and is 50 times higher than the previous year! One of the largest reserves of this fish is in the possession of the trustee. And meanwhile, the fishermen are in danger of losing their boats because they have no money, and some have taken out loans with high interest.

The bankruptcy trustee proposes to sell all the fish, pay the fishermen based on last year’s price, and then give the remaining money to the warehouse owner. This outrages the fishermen, who believe that they should be the ones to benefit, since it is their fish that are now in such high demand. It was the warehouse owner’s negligence that caused the theft, and he would be made very rich indeed if the trustee’s plan moves forward. Meanwhile, the bookie is still wasting the court’s time, claiming the fish need to be sold to pay off the warehouse owner’s gambling debts.

The fishermen aren’t sure if next year’s catch of fish will be infected with worms or not. If they are, the price will go up even more, but if not, the price will plummet, and the fishermen would all like to be able to sell at least some of their fish while the price for them is high.

Unfortunately the media has picked up the ill-inspired statement of the Trustee: "I plan to consult with the court and determine further sale of BTC and BCC."
He has no reason to sell any BTC now, but the media could turn this into a self-fulfilling prophecy: some large BTC owners to panic sell because of the statement, making the Trustee to panic sell again.

Just don't follow the price action for a month or two. Take a break.
Poor advice: the bullish scenario targets 5200$, while the bearish one targets 2100$. Quite a difference, and any early clue regarding the winning scenario would be very valuable to me.

Where do you think we are compared to 2015? Or do you see it unfolding differently than back then?

If this will play similar to 2015, then about 6 months from now weekly MACD should cross into positive.
But I suspect this bear market is of a higher order than the 2014 one, so I wouldn't count on a quick recovery.

weekly macd is positive now?
do you mean it has to go red again first over these 6 months?

No, weekly MACD (the signal) is deeply into negative now, but MACD divergence has crossed into green 5 weeks ago.
And the weekly MACD signal also made a bearish divergence with the April 2018 MACD low (both lower price and lower MACD).
What I mean is that the weekly MACD signal should cross into positive, in order to make the case for a bull market, but I don't see this happening soon.
In the meantime, I hope the 5200$ scenario becomes true, I am still long (bought just before the Feb 8th pump).

I was waiting for a decision, between bullish and bearish scenarios, since 6h PSAR was close to flip to bullish, and 12h PSAR close to flip to bearish.
With this bi-directional spike, both flipped, so no clue how this will unfold... Roll Eyes

Where do you think we are compared to 2015? Or do you see it unfolding differently than back then?

If this will play similar to 2015, then about 6 months from now weekly MACD should cross into positive.
But I suspect this bear market is of a higher order than the 2014 one, so I wouldn't count on a quick recovery.
weekly macd is positive now?
do you mean it has to go red again first over these 6 months?

No, weekly MACD (the signal) is deeply into negative now, but MACD divergence has crossed into green 5 weeks ago.

Daily PSAR has flipped to bullish, so the 5200$ scenario has now good chances to become true.

notice just came of MtGox claim approval

me too, quoting: As a result, all of the amounts of your filed claim(s) have been approved.
But I'm waiting for the Court to dismiss Coinlab's ridiculous claim. Then I'll celebrate.

something missing bro



This assumes the weekly charts have the same meaning for the 2014 bear market and the current one.
But what if the current one is of a higher order? Then maybe we should be using monthly charts (or 2 week, or 3 week) instead.
Do you know of a BTC charting site which displays larger than weekly time periods?

But is that chart telling "us" anything meaningful about BTC's price future  (besides the long-term UP that "we" already presume)? 

That chart can't really tell "us" anything meaningful, but... just to me... (you might hate this  Roll Eyes )
It suggests that we are in a correction of a larger order, like we already had a historical V, and right now it's historical (end-of-)A or historical B.
If we are in historical B, then later this year, the market could top at 10k$ - 12k$, followed by C (another ~3 years of bear market, down to ~1,500$).

hahahahaha... I don't exactly hate it, but I could call it "interesting" "mumbo jumbo"... so you gave the scenario for if "we" happen to be in an "historical B," which does not sound like a very good scenario, especially because such scenario results in prolonged prices lower than today's prices and also lower than the already December low of $3,122,  but what if "we" happen to be in a "historical A" instead of an "historical B," then what should we expect (not that I should believe any of this chart woo woo Wink)?

By the way, does your "historical A" and "historical B" discussion points account for BTC's likely ongoing s-curve adoption? which likely results in exponential price rises through adoption? or do your "historical A" / "B" scenarios assume a certain level of BTC market maturity?

I did not write "historical A", but "historical (end-of-)A", meaning that I'm not sure if we have already completed the A, or we'll see a bit more down to complete A (all this assumes we are moving much slower than in 2014). In case we already completed A, we are now in B and should slowly climb towards the 4 of A, which is at ~12k$.
I don't care about S curve adoption, I see bitcoin similar to a multi-billion corporation with shitty R&D, so very bearish long term, if nothing changes for the good in R&D.

Everyone is talking about the 140k BTC potential sell-side pressure from the Mt Gox coin redistribution to creditors Absolutely no-one is talking about the $627million being distributed to creditors who may then decide to *buy more* Bitcoin


https://twitter.com/alistairmilne/status/1108769707463770112

You are missing an important point: there will be no distribution, until the Coinlab lawsuit will be sorted out, at least in the first Court.
The reason is that the Coinlab claim, of about 16 billion $, is so (ridiculously) large that it's impossible to fairly attribute voting rights.
Until then, Kobayashi may decide (he did not promise to withhold from selling) to sell more BTC and BCH, if the Court will approve.

Since last time sold almost at top we should not expect any selling in next 2 years since they obviously know what they are doing.

You know?  Kobayashi san has proven to be a pretty sharp motherfucker in retrospect.

Um, no... Kobayashi would like to sell all soon, but there was strong objection from the creditors present at the meeting.
Anyway, since the forks other than BCH won't be distributed, they will be 100% sold, probably by auctioning the keys.

BCH includes both Bcash ABC and Bcash SV?  Both of those will continue to be held by the trustee, for now?

The last report (20th March 2019) says nothing about the 2 rival forks of BCH. But my understanding is that Kobayashi is afraid to be the custodian
 of so much crypto for much longer (he may have been a target for hackers), so he personally wants to dump all crypto, if the Court will allow this.

well...I made my 'mental bet' in a previous post...I think the price (hope I'm dead wrong) that due to mt. gox dumping 1.25 billion or so USD worth of bitcoin...supposedly May 2019.

Maybe that is where you are going wrong?  Distributing is not the same as "dumping."  You should know that.
...

There are issues with both of your statements. MtGox has only 141,686 BTC left, so nowhere near 1.25 billion $ at current prices.
Distribution has no chance to happen in May 2019, because of the Coinlab claim, of about 16 billion $ (previously 75 million $).
MtGox Trustee Kobayashi may have to sell (dump) a lot of BTC, if the Court will decide in Coinlab's favor (claim was rejected by Kobayashi), but this is unlikely.
