this is so silly. the indicators were all bullish. we had an ascending triangle, bouncing off of the wall at $7.20 for days. nothing happened due to low weekend volume, one guy got spooked and dumped coins down to sub $6.90, which started panic sells and more giant dumps. Sure, we needed a correction but we could have gotten over the resistance at $7.20 and sailed to the next level before this happened easily. Notice how the cheap coins were gobbled up instantly? We won't see prices <$6.00, we're on our way up, and since the correction happened early I wouldn't be surprised if we sail to $10 before another major correction.

I am a long term bull, but not a permabull. You saw what you wanted - the dailys were screaming overbought, the forums were full of irrational exuberance. Longer term nothing has changed but short term, these kind of rallies are surely unstable.

I sold a big chunk of my 'trading chips' at around 5. Gutted I missed the rally to 6 and then 7 so I made an emotional trade at $7 in a moment of weakness but fortunately got out before it went too sour. Who knows, I may still be wrong yet and we could hit $12 by the weekend!

My order book is loaded with bids right down to just over a dollar. I don't expect them all to be filled, but I do expect some of them to be. The only question is how many.

I smell mania. That's a down-signal for me, because it only pays for bids until things go sideways for the first time.

We had almost 2 months of rallies. A step down wouldn't hurt. Another instant rally would take us back into bubble territory, and what's the point of that? Everybody has made this experience by now, it's unlikely to repeat itself.

I'm hoping this happens... just wished I hadn't fallen asleep 10 minutes before the dump... could have sold half my coins and bought back @ 6.

I'm leaning towards this explanation myself.

I agree.  We have gone from volume sustained rallies to middle of the night dumps.  

I think the market is self correcting, realizing we are NOT going to break $7.20, not for a while anyway.

Yes, it may indeed be the correction many have been expecting. How much it shall correct has yet to be determined.

Yes, that is how these things go. The actual bid walls have been gone for a couple hours now since the initial sell off. It is in the zig zag area at the moment, probably a lot of panic sellers becoming panic buyers.

Folks, just a couple thousand BTC to get to $6.20, but on the ask side, 18K to get to $7.20.

Draw your own conclusions.


Looks like we might hit $6.20 again. Are we trending down for the day?
