sorta makes me wonder why ppl are selling at 10 cents below latest buy price, considering someone has bought like 20,000 in the last 10 minutes

Because a guaranteed profit sometimes beats placing an order and hoping the trend continues.

if you mean 'sometimes' as in '95% of the time you'll make less'...  this isn't a sell at $4.69 after a buy at $4.70.  it's a sell at $4.60 after tens of thousands have been bought over a period of 30 minutes... well above the $4.60 mark.

Sometimes bitcoin prices are quoted using the lower exchange rate, and when the bitcoins are received they are sold with a market order.  Some services do this automatically.

That doesn't make any sense.

But I guess it's possible someone may have been using a buy stop, if such a thing exists somewhere (bitcoinica?).  I have no clue, since I only use mtgox.
Some companies accept bitcoin, but don't want to run the risk of the rate changing too much. So they set up a huge sell order for a very low price, and just send all their bitcoins to MtGox, where they're instantly converted to USD.

This.

I'm thinking this might be due to people liquidating their short positions from $6. Who knows where we are going to end up after all this.

yes, seriously.  If all the sellers just gathered up their coins and moved up, the price would go up Wink

We can have one but it's not here yet. $4.80 and I will call a rally.
Are we close enough, now?
