And I think it will be far from boring very soon. Either it breaks the support and goes to 300 (and maybe even breaks that) or it bounces back - and possibly tests 470 again.

I am long $BTC here with a stop at 357$.

Long term long (investing).

Not suggesting anything.

My analysis though says it is a very good entry point and we have a pretty close stop (I will sell manual in a higher price of 357 if I can, in case this goes bad).

Bitfinex prices.

Couldn't agree more. IMO we'll see some "unexpected" behaviour in the next 10 days.

This is an interesting thought. Maybe they will spend extra cash on holiday and it will keep the price "boring". I think a lot of bitcoiners like "boring" so they can get more. I also like what someone said about seeing the true price of Bitcoin while the China markets are on holiday. Who knows!

You know fellas, bitcoin is/was supposed to be a currency, right? And one quality of a good currency is stability, is it not?

Anyone? Anyone? I think a lot of us have lost sight of this and just want deflation or a boom or whatever. Boring markets are what I think a lot of bitcoiners want.

Trouble is, stability increases utility, which increases value.

What do you think about these holidays and how it will affect the btc price ?

The Chinese do still make a majority of the trading, if they get bored and feel like buying some more on holiday when they are returning home we might see some spikes otherwise it could just remain about the same some Chinese cashing out to bring money to family while others buying in and investing for higher returns.

Nothing important will happen for sure, price will go up and down a bit but that happens always. I`m good with boring market, that means everything is ok, no bears and wheals..
If we see price rising after holidays we will know why is that happening, China is awake! In that moment we will see how much big is their influence on btc price.

I think what bitcoiners are looking for is an upward-trending market, not a stable market per se.

Although currencies tend to be more stable than equities, a currency pair can enter a strong trend based on capital flows and perceptions of economic conditions.

We might actually find out the true price of bitcoin if the Chinese markets are closed.
Lots of manipulation in those markets.

You must be new here [/sarcasm]

Are you sure only the Chinese manipulate the market?

For the moment nothing new under the sky. It is the beginning and naturally that cannot be signs of this happening. My personal point of view is that the Chinese market is important but not at that level that most of posters here give to it. These celebrations would be a good test about this matter. If the price will go down that mean that this market has significant power on its price. More will go down and more will be proof about its importance. But only if there would not be other factors which can cause such going down. But if the price will remain the same can be told that this market has not any kind power on it? I don't think so. I think that the movement of price (normally and in such situations when have not action of pump factors) is reflected much more slowly during the happening of the normal factors which affect the price (factors like celebrations). This mean that the period of change must be long (or at least not few) that the price be affected by such kind of factors. Anyhow remain to see what will happen in the days to come. I am very curious.

Well we all know the chinese are in control. If they are out on a holiday, there are no major things to be expected manipulation wise.
They have been running this pump game from they very start with mt. gox. And will continue to do so till the last day.

very interesting speculation. i think it most probably will effect the market. on the other hand chinese were mostly active in the altcoin market and not so much in bitcoin markets.

we have wait and see, anything is possible in bitcoin market!

I'm kinda getting bored of bitcoin. We've been to 420 many times. We've tested 300 many times. This is stupid. Bitcoin is too small to be so stable.

Bitcoin is more stable than Amazon and Amazon is 50x bigger. Makes no fucking sense.

because average joe is not interested in bitcoin, there is no real media attention, until real adoption comes in play greater value are very difficult to achieve

you need to be luck and wait for a rich guy that will pump the value...

Bitcoin should be boring when it has a 1 trillion dollar market cap.
