I think it's not only whales playing.
Can't believe they would be able to produce a 35 mil (more than 50% of BTC) volume.

Buying from yourself over and over again doesn't require 35 mil in order to produce 35 mil in volume.
Conspiracy thinking is a pervasive prism.

I notice now that people who tend to think the big events of the world are top-down driven keep the same prism of understanding even for such small and ermergent events as a price movement.

When the weekend comes, the bitcoin price usually dips. This could push the Ethereum price in bitcoin hgiher.

Lot's of money is entering the market. There's more then only whales playing en newbs buying in with small money.

Litecoin pump had more volume: https://web.archive.org/web/20150709232122/http://coinmarketcap.com/

That's the Chinese exchanges with 0% fees - where ETH isn't listed. Becomes quite expensive tactic when paying fees, which you'd have to do on Polo or Kraken  Wink

Also as heading into the weekend there's often a bit of new money. I'll short when it hits what I think it can be worth (8USD) though 5-6USD for the moment is good for something going so hard.

Can't see them buying from themselves over and over again for these kind of amounts. Sure it plays a part, but not a significant one I think.

Although there is truth in some of your words, the same has been said for the past week even at prices like 500-600. The actual truth is that nobody knows where it will go because this is actually an exciting projects backed by institutions, banks, companies not like other altcoins that are made for a bunch of nerds concerned about privacy to buy drugs. That's what killed the whole scene, Ethereum is the first project (a very professional down, top to bottom) that will cater to a very interested audience. Of course it can become a little irrelevant with the course of the months and years and that's about it.

However, it holds the chance to completely change the way we do things, banks for example are looking for a blockchain standard, imagine if in some months the major banks start to adopt Ethereum not just flirt with it? And then comes development of dapps, etc, that's why there's so much interest in it, the potential is really unlimited.

The other projects are just nice hobbies compared to it, taking out all the BS bitcoin clones, nobody even uses Bitcoin they sure won't use freaking Litecoin or Dodge or whatever privacy enforced sh*tcoin they are pushing. It won't happen.

I've been fully invested in Ethereum from the get go, don't get me wrong, but I also have my feet planted on the ground. I have no doubt ETH will be a strong contender in the crypto world going forward, until replaced that is. I'm very happy I got on board early on, but I try not to lose sight of reality, especially when it comes to my money, and the reality is there is millions of Eth holders not in the market, and it will only take one or two whales to wipe the entire buy market out. I don't like those kind of risks, nor should you. So it's worth mentioning. After another year or two and ETH becomes more widespread and into many more hands, not a handful of whales, it will be much more stable.

Right now they are using buy walls to heard sheep into their sell walls. That's all that is happening right now. Why sell to the market when the sheep willingly gobble it up? These buy walls, these guys got ETH either FREE or for a few pennies. They could give one rats *ss if somebody dumps a few k into their 50k+ wall. They know in the end the sheep will gobble it up at the next wall. They started doing this around the 400k mark. Watch next time you see the walls go up, and watch how the sheep flock and gobble up the higher wall.

ETH has entered the 'Greater Fool' territory. The sell liquidity is crap. If you have a large volume you pretty much need somebody to buy it from you, because the buy market is thinly spread. I sold my Eth a few days ago. I should have held a bit longer, sure, but I look it in 2 ways, Profit or loss? Now many have bought at extremely low prices as I did, so losses are not even a concern. However, It is a major concern for anyone who recently entered. I'm not saying it won't go up more, but rest assure, what goes up must come down. Nothing goes up forever; heed the warning.

As you sow, so shall you reap.
Are the Chinese pumping Ethereum?

There is no Chinese exchange at this moment that offers Ethereum as an option, so that is not possible.

I think they are all on holiday yet. Not sure if everyone takes off and ignores everything else, but you definitely notice a slowdown during the Chinese New Year period.

Is anybody planning to short this monster anytime soon?

I plan to short once it goes a bit more parabolic. Looking at other past pumps/dumps, it is still in the slow but steady rise stage, although admittedly picking up speed recently.

I think possibly a day or two yet, but you never really know, it could make a big pump overnight, crash, and then it's over. I am thinking a top somewhere around 0.05 ETH/BTC range or ~$20 Eth/USD. It is around $6.50 as I type this, so I am thinking we will continue to pick up steam to around $10-$12 before a final violent push up to $20's before bursting the bubble.

Is anybody planning to short this monster anytime soon?

I might around 02 or 025 depending on the situation. I get a local top around .02 or so for a pull back, but often during bubbles, pull backs are either one quick knife or very shallow with crappy R:R ratio. So I remain undecided atm.

Yep, I do wonder about people who do that, especially on Polo (!).

Polo has margin lending at rates that I've never seen anywhere else.

.15% daily on BTC = 54% annualized interest. Those guys are making bank fueling the crazed ETH margin traders.

If you want crazy, look no further than EXP. Totally sustainable rise Cheesy

Btw, Polo is freezing up like a bitch for me. Never a great omen.

Those 10k BTC sitting in polo buy walls for ETH are begging to be hacked and stolen.
