Biggest bull trap bro.
proudhon didn't use the phrase "single digits", so there's more downside to come
There is no bull or bear. Only Bitcoin or fiat.

BTC or Fiat? Fascinating. But, I have chosen: more BTC
As soon as the bubble has really burst.
It's a way to make or lose money with clever (or not) daytrading...

This is so funny there was actually a bull trap
I wonder when people will get into the fear stage.
That's quite a sizeable bull trap. It dropped $50.

I am honored to have you as a guest in this thread
Thank you!
Anyway, to be honest and open, atm I'm in a hold-and-wait state, with a pretty small sell off to cover possible losses ordered at about 195$ and a slightly bigger failsafe at 145$
Edit: failsafe hit :/
I don't know where the bottom is. I threw out $75 during the height of the madness, but will accept anything below $150. I want at least two weeks of stability, but with Bitcoin, anything can happen.
Easy. Bull trap.

Now two questions!
1: WTF? Another bull trap? or what?
2: proudhon, where are you??

200+ prices were based on the exuberance of buyers that flocked here to cash in on some never-ending increase in value. We won't see that again until the strong hands and institutions really support it. Price will still mainly be floated by speculation, but not nearly what we were at.
If i had to take a guess, I can predict settling just above 100 for a while and creeping up more cautiously than before

It's starting to look a lot like the bull trap I feared 
Yeah, but I think the low will be around $100. We'll probably hit double digits and then bounce right back up.
Now leaving Fear, headed for Capitulation.

Hope so. I want double digits. Damnit.

I know people post this image way too much, but it has been very accurate so far.
If Mt.Gox lag keeps increasing this will definitely be a bull trap.

No one knows. I'll be taking profits from the crash soon and staying out until the market figures out a direction.
Dead Cat Bounce.
Oh, and expect everyone to tell you the opposite of what they really think, in a vain attempt to steer you in a direction that they believe will benefit them.

Definitely recovery, but probably not a stable one!
We are in a picture-book bull trap right now.
I agree, not sure on timings though. Up to a couple of days i guess. What are your views?

I already did, and it's Bitcoin.
I like speculating and playing with the markets though...
Is this the start of a recovery or a bull trap?
I'd hope for the first but I'm still confused...

This has been a major fall and there seems to be no sign of the depression stage of a bust, on top of this the population of bitcoin investors has a large ideological component creating excess bullish tendencies. These two things suggest to me that there should be a bull trap at some point and that this is possibly it.
I wouldn't worry about buying back in quick, wait for the depression stage when you can be more comfortable with your choice. If it stabilizes before then it'll cost you maybe 10% to buy in later. If not you'll profit from a lower price and no loss due to a fall.
Thanks! It's what I think I'll do
The sentiment about Bitcoin is positive from what I see, though
The positive sentiment is what scares me.
We are in a picture-book bull trap right now.
depends on what happens next. If you're convinced of it being a bulltrap, sell your coins? :-)

We got world press attention remember. How the press takes this second DDos / crash will have a lot to say about market adoption speed in the near future. Stunt's like this need to be dealt with publicly the following days!
It's no longer fun and games!

When you look back in a few weeks while we're sitting at $500/BTC you'll see that we just left a bear trap.
I have yet to see a bull trap in bitcoin, looking back at the past 4 years it looks like one big bear trap :-)
im just happy i had a buy order set at $190 a couple days ago
a couple days ago
What if it was a bear trap?

Only time will tell.
Never being in with what one couldn't afford to lose in the first place, combined with never selling bitcoin for fiat, is a strategy that has worked OK for me so far. It mightn't be the perfect equity strategy, but it mitigates most of the market volatility risk.
