On the weekly chart:

Price is below the lower envelope band (SMA20) and below the SMA25. Both are still rising.

One could expect a (re)test of at least the SMA25, which is at 612$ right now. Indicators would allow this to happen.

If bitcoin would manage to close above 643$ (EDIT: by Sunday), it would be a bullish sign.

If not it will go south for a long time.

As long as there are sellers there still are buyers for bitcoin. So I guess someone will make some nice money on it soon.

A lot of people are selling, but since there are sellers there must be buyers. Even though numbers are lower right now, there is as many people who think it will go down as there are people who think it is good idea to buy now and get profit later. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to sell it.

if there where as many people who wanted to sell as wanted to buy price would stay at the same level, not falling as is the case now.

there are slightly more people who want to sell then want there are that want to buy atm, thats why prices drop.

when demand exceeds suply again, prices will rise.

It would have to drop at least below $400 for me to start panicking.

what's the difference between:

1100 and 600

1100 and 500

1100 and 400

?

The difference is 1100 is a price from a manipulating company that has committed probably every financial crime there is, while creating new ones. 
600 is the number from two months ago people were starting to panic about going below.
500 seems to be the new number for now.
400 will be the next.

See a trend?  I do.  I'm done being greedy, my new sell price for the vast majority of my btc and ltc will be lower, since i'm not missing the next rally above 6 and being greedy.  Also i'm done on the buying until a clear trend other than continual decline followed by brief rally here and there emerges, because if i'm sleeping during the rally again after i buy to make a quick flip and then i'm stuck holding..... lmao fuck Smiley.
I'll let the brave ones chase the ten, while I settle for the drunken 6 at the bar Smiley

No need to panic, bitcoin gradually drops in value, holds at a lower value, the drops again.
All you need to do is realize your constantly losing money by not selling your bitcoin or using your btc when you should of.

The alts/usd on btc-e are looking really cheap this week.
Why panic when you can lower your average cost?

Currently price is dropping because gox coins being dumped on the market.
No proof, just my opinion based on the price action.

Haha, maybe - but Karp has suddenly 'found' 200k coins he didn't know were there before.
Panic the supply isn't as limited as people thought? Gox loses coins, price goes down. Gox finds coins, price goes... down.

Who's to say he is not going to find another 200K tomorrow? There were no hints of stability in BTC world, and news such as these are not helping at all.

Not enough volume.

Sure it is, nothing says all the coins have to get dumped in one fell swoop and certainly not by a single entity.  Perhaps this is simply a prelude ..
With this tiny volume, prices can be going down simply because of a lack of buying - there doesn't have to be a huge seller. Given that most of the volume on any exchange is daytraders, I don't think there's even enough volume to buy the 3,600 coins that are mined per day, and prices are just slowly bleeding out. I have never seen such a consistent low volume accompany a decline in bitcoin before - it is looking really bad. There's just no interest for some reason. If someone was actually dumping a load of coins, at any rate, the decline would be a lot worse, and you would see more volume to accompany it.

All it would take is for your suppliers to accept bitcoin as payment. It could be as little as a year off before that starts happening on a scale large enough to be noticed, and eventually we will have a functioning bitcoin economy without any need to involve fiat.

With all due respect, you must be fucking high.  It will take decades for something like this to happen.
Overstock CEO holds bitcoin. That's the first step. People are being paid in bitcoins already. It's already started.

He personally holds Bitcoin.  Overstock itself does not hold Bitcoin reserves.  It would be irresponsible to do so when vendors, employees, contractors, lenders, etc. expect prompt payment in fiat.
Again. People are being paid in bitcoin. It's a small number now, and may only be small businesses, but that's how it begins. And nothing is more prompt than bitcoin. Even handing over a stack of money takes longer than a bitcoin transaction.

You're missing the point.  I'm not debating the merits of Bitcoin.  Full vertical integration in run-of-the-mill businesses isn't "as little as a year off", not even close.  A few decades?  Sure, that's possible.  Between now and then, Bitcoin is an alternative to credit cards and bank accounts.
Didn't say it would be fully realized in a year. I said it could begin to be noticeable in as little as a year. Once it begins it will only keep growing, just a question of when we get there. And I don't think it will be decades.

Don't worry, whatever is going on is mostly harmless.

I don't get the dumping idea. If I had thousands of coins I would wait for businesses to open that don't convert them to fiat. It's sure to happen within a few years.

First, trading makes sense if you want to increase your holdings.

Second, it will be a very long time before anything beyond a small business holds onto their Bitcoins.  If you have ever run a business, you'd understand why very quickly.

Currently price is dropping because gox coins being dumped on the market.
No proof, just my opinion based on the price action.

People are also moving money around. I notice some of the altcoins like Goldcoin (GLD) are actually up on the day.
