Of course the counter argument, is that conviction that the price is rising is much higher this time round. We can't possibly dip again, not like last time. We are deep in the denial phase of the buy/sell cycle.
Pessimism is next.

It's only a question of who much leverage that support has. I'm sure its will be less leveraged than last time - people would't be stupid enough to over leverage again now would they

long squeeze with so much support is a very serious undertaking, not sure even if the whale would be able to pull it off right now and how much sense would it make
Thats a bold statment bittenbob about leveraged = unsustainable.
I know there are probably people leveraged short, but not so many there is an asterisk on the sell side!
People seem under the impression the price *should* be something. The price only ever *is* something.
The marketplace is full of buyers and sellers, positions, bids asks etc if this was represented as an equation, then the price would simply be the number to the right of the equals sign
You can't predict the price, there are too many variables. You may be able to predict how the equation is changing though, and if you have some information (such as longs cannot obtain any more leverage) then you can extrapolate what the likely effects on the equation might be. You can then see how the price might be affected.
The price might go up, I'm more concerned with limiting my downside, and right now the conditions necessary for a long squeeze are once again present. I won't be right all the time. But when I am I avoid big losses.

The asterisk is gone from the buy on bitcoinica. This means we can resume normal activity and we can really go in any direction.
I spoke too soon it is back. It really seems like bitcoinica is helping to suppress the price at this point.

Bitcoinica can't suppress a price. Sufficient volume of people selling at a given ask is what prevents price rising. If people stopped selling then the price would go up.
If the buying volume needs leverage to support it, then that doesn't sound like a sustainable price.
Bingo.
When you say this you forget that people are leveraged in a short and can continue to do so. Any leveraged position is unsustainable and that includes short ones.

if we break 6.5 we'll be on our way to 6.8
but we need greater support at 6.2 and 6.3 for that

If the buying volume needs leverage to support it, then that doesn't sound like a sustainable price. I sold my speculative position yesterday at $6.15 and put a bunch of new bids in lower.
Unlikely we'll get a carbon copy of last weeks antics, but you never know what might happen
I notice the 300BTC fake ask wall bot is back. Just watch if we approach those 2 walls they will vaporize.
If people can only put money to make the price go down on bitcoinica then it is directly suppressing the price.

got to love the resistance 
Now we will find out how big of a rally we can have when going long is starfished on Bitcoinica. Something tells me that we won't make it too far since people can only leverage down.
if wall at 6.2 grows significantly, it will enable further continuation upwards, for now i wouldn't call it rally just yet)
because nobody wants to buy of course and it's sunday.
sunday is funday

I have heard of the weekend dip for a month or two now but have yet to observe it. Maybe this is something of bitcoin history? Of course if you are wrong then I will have to retract my statement.
in the recent few months we had more weekend spikes than dips, the weekend dips indeed was a feature of past summer
this weekend is simply exhausted (as i was writing this there is a promising spike, not sure how powerful it will be)
Wow it just keeps going up.

big dip ahead
Care to explain why you think this?
And by all means sell sell sell (It might jack up the price a bit).
big dip ahead
