individuals might not, but look at the big money coming into companies from investors.  I mean they can get $80-100 mil investment, why not put some more into btc itself? 


All that would do is create a temporary spike and then they'd be dumped on by the hostile brats they bought from.

As is often preached on here, it's mass adoption or death pretty much. You foster mass adoption by creating services and utilities that are hard to resist. That's what they're all up to.

going below 260 is not new
just watch and wait price will go up again to 280 or close to 300


Not until all this fork business is resolved.

It doesn't make sense to not at least hedge while all this is going on. The price isn't going to rise while there is this much uncertainty. Why would you be buying with any new money right now?

drop will come maybe to 230$ in the next days

I was trying my best to hold onto some BTC, just to see out the month of september (lots of chatter about economic chaos next month) but I dont think I can stomach any more losses.

The buy support looks super weak, could we even be going down sub $200?  I mean I've seen $50 drops in a single day before, I dont think its unreasonable to move that low in a day or two.



what i can say i think price will drop till the end of the month maybe from the september will go up again thats what i think right now about bitcoin



I dont think bitcoin are good for hold these days if you will trade everyday thats PERFECT. but holding BTC, NO.

Waiting for sub $250 coins.

Daily MACD and divergence are negative, daily PSAR bearish and unlikely to flip soon, price is close to the lower daily BB.
So I'd be surprised if we wouldn't see 240$ soon. Actually a healthy dump could reach below 240$.

Yes. It is similar situation as it was between 1-9 June this year.

But after that: PRICE EXPLODED

But now I thing we will go down.

We'll be bearish for the next few weeks I think, be prepared to hold  Grin

I dont know it may be a selling point for a small brief time, if people tend to go with the trend.

I usually follow the trend if it goes more then 2-3 days of people selling off.

You call that panic sell? It only dropped 30bucks, and quickly recovered 10 bucks already. I see no panic, only a big fat whale who wants fiat.

Most people see the $30 difference in a different way then you do lol. I dont see why most people freak out unless they hold so much btcs to see the difference.

For me, I just know its going to recover like you mentioned unless it starts dropping $50. Even then I give it a day at most or the week if it`ll recover.

The price seems to be holding at a 265 floor. We may stay there for a while and then start climbing up. A correction was expected after the brainwallet cracking paranoia, and certainly all those Mark Karpeles news aren't helping. The value of the Bitcoin protocol stays untouched tho, all of this is plain noise.

it's big traders going on vacation and removing their last manipulation in the 275-300 range, i'm not expecting the price to fall below 250 and until then i'll not worry about it at all, you should do the same
Problem is not if it will fall below 250, problem is when moon. BTC=moon so if no moon no BTC....

probably around the halving, because if no moon is accomplished for that time, then bitcoin is probably done
IMHO if something like BITCOIN is waiting for halving to moon....it is already done...

I am around since 2011, in the success scenario I am more bull than cypherdoc but honestly, I think BTC is done. Really hope I am wrong.

It's probably done, technology becomes obsolete over the years, it doesn't age and gain value like a good wine.
But the next wave of piglets bagholders bitcoin enthusiasts won't know that, until they'll panic dump their bags in 2017-2018. Grin

Don't think it will go under $270 on finex. If it does then we'll have $250 as absolute bottom.

Given the fact how bitcoin price doesn't have some large support at this price level, i wouldn't yet call this panic selling.
If we get to ~200 level , then there's a possibility for the real panic to kick off. imho all these ups and downs are just here to shake people for some coins.

Seriously? You think if Bitcoin doesn't skyrocket within just a few years time, it's a dead currency? The halving will certainly impact the value of Bitcoin. It will probably rise considerably, and we might even see prices near or above the alltime highs in 2013. However, this isn't the "moon". If Bitcoin ever reaches the moon, it is due to worldwide adoption, which won't magically take place due to a halving.

I honestly don't think it will dip down back into the 220-240 range again, unless something drastic happens in the future. The price might drop down to 240 slightly, but I expect it to correct. We may see the price settle down at around 255, but I couldn't imagine it staying below that for more than a day or so.

Lol!

Bitcoin moon fans are a fickle bunch. A couple of weeks ago, or 3 or 4, lots of moontalk on threads. Any bearish talk was taboo.

Now, a move to $ 262 and sentiment has changed drastically. Not as loud as they were for sure! Plainly obvious why the whales have an easy time rocking the boat.

Anyway, this isn't panic selling, just shaking off weak moon bitcoin fanboys. And i think its working.

Like Tzupy says, another month or 2 and shitting pants will ensue

they were overexcited for sure, i told them to not be exited until we can break at least 300 and remain above that for a long time or until we can touch 500 again

I think it's a mixture of news, the Karpeles thing, the Bitifinex thing (not sure what happened), the Brainwallet hack, the Bitlicense thing (even tho this is not really a problem, business just move to other places).

Don't think it will go under $270 on finex. If it does then we'll have $250 as absolute bottom.

Let's wait and see. There seems to be quite some force behind this. Orderbooks are shifting rapidly, clear indication of panic if you ask me.

This is going to be an interesting day don't you guys think?
What do you think caused this sudden panic?

What panic selling , what gave you the idea that people are selling suddenly and paniking Shocked
looking at preev.com price seem pretty stable near 280$ and there is no changes , and we was at 285$ so there isn't much going on IMO
