So, we are speculating about what will happen to the price after the opening of the exchange that triggered the drop in the first place?

The fundamentals are sound. Nothing has really changed. Long term, it will go up.

I know I would be buying, should I have had some fiat on the exchanges.

I'd be surprised if we didn't get to 150 right after. So many people pulled coin off gox.

somehow I rather doubt that, I mean, maybe "open", but regardless of whatever they may have done to improve their clearing rate, their servers are going to be epically hammered at 02:00

I expect massive opening lag and a dump with some degree of overshoot, however, the other exchanges have held up surprisingly well all afternoon, a new equilibrium will be found.

Mt.Gox drives the price of BTC. The other exchanges are just lost lamb without Gox guiding them.

Now we know that we SHOULD learn to cope without it.

I pissed at the timing. It will be 1am here - some of us have to sleep/work tomorrow.

I get the feeling I'll have missed the sell off or rally by the time I get up.  Angry

Can you not go to bed now and wake up for 5 minutes as the exchange opens?
Or take some good ol' fashion caffeine.

There is more to life than Bitcoins. Not sure the wife would appreciate it either! Wink

Anyway, I look forward to catching up on all the post re-opening hysteria that will no doubt be plastered across these boards. Smiley

its so easy to manipulate other exchange. I did it successfully and bought some coins at 55-65.

This is why its very hard to get rid of MtGox.

Market dropped to $105 yesterday, and those that wanted to sell have probably sold already.

Last night PST on the Gox order book, there was a 35k btc bidwall at $75 flashed.  Someone smart has a few million in fiat available, and I seriously doubt the price drops below $50.

As we've seen over the years, stable price = increasing market acceptance = increasing value.  As soon as the floor is established, lots of players that are standing on the sidelines will all want to get in the game, and the price will zoom up again.  Rinse, repeat.

I think A LOT of people are looking to buy, especially ALL those people that sold at $150-$250 and they are looking to get back in the game!
The money is NOT out of the system, the money remains in Gox for the most part!
I think we:ll see $150 pretty soon.
I think $150 for a while is a great number to be at.

Hey guys, stop dreaming, there won't be a stable price on the other exchanges until Gox comes back: price will keep going down until trade is reopened at Gox because it's very difficult to quickly pour in significant amounts of fiat in an exchange, and most of fiat sits at Gox, while its very easy to move coins from Gox to other exchanges.

I'd say that we will se $40/$45 before Gox opens.

how about this:

People might be selling at other exchanges right now because they all expect a sharp knife to happen. So they need fiat to get a chance to buy more coins close to the bottom.

You know how it ends when too many people expect something to happen?  Grin

I personally think it will settle at around $35/BTC. FUNDAMENTALS as you speculators call it Cheesy

Who's using BTC at the moment to buy anything? How many noobs are gonna quit BTC after they wanted to make a quick buck, and all of a sudden there was no happy ending?

On the one hand a tumultuous rush for the exit seems inevitable
It's my contention that anyone desperate to sell has already sold by transferring their BTC to an exchange that's still in operation.

Whereas, buying depends on already having fiat in non-Gox exchanges.

I think a lot of panic sell already happened at the other exchanges - look at the timelines, most got a huge drop and very high volume in the hour after gox closed.
The fiat however is still there.. I don't think it will go below 100.
damn right

I can sense you are professional

I'd wish - would have sold some at 200+ as instinct told me (was overruled by greed Smiley )

everyone will be buying because everyone thinks everyone is selling

I'd say:

1. quick selloff to whatever value the other exchanges will have stabilized at (consensus seems to be around 85$)
2. panic to below 50$
3. multiple price swings till a new equilibrium is found (likely to be not much below pre-Gox-reopen consensus)

If you're good at calling highs and lows, you'll profit from the swings.
Only a few hours to go.
Be ready for a hell of a ride.

Also Gox taking no fees for 48 hours means you'll be tempted to leave the fiat there at least during that time.

I agree.  Last night I thought $50 was a value but, after today I think we will be under $50 tomorrow if Mt. Gox can stay online.

I have sold everything at 197EUR and I am very lucky and had no clue the market would crash 2 hours after. I am still not buying back in, just because anything can happen right now. It could peak to 200 again, yes, but it wont stay there for more than a few minutes. People are scared, too much money in it, too many people have lost tens of thousands of dollars. They want their profit. So a higher price will make it bearable for them to get out with a smaller loss than to go down with bitcoin. I am afraid this will take some time to recover.

On the one hand a tumultuous rush for the exit seems inevitable, on the other alternative exchanges are gaining market share as fast as their servers can process new accounts and seem to have stabilized at a consensus valuation around $90/BTC.

I am starting to doubt that the great buying opportunity will even present itself.
