I don't trust those 50k walls at all... they are obviously the same ones that disappeared at 6.4 and 6.6 2-3 days ago when we were at 7.19 with practically nothing to go to 9. Without them, there wouldn't be any real support above 5.20/40.

You fools are being played again.

And many of the ask walls are also fake meaning the resistance isn't what it would appear either. What exactly is your point and what makes you so experienced from your 80 some odd posts to be calling us fools?

We have about 1000 coins to move the price $0.01 in either one direction right now which is interesting.

Did anyone else see those walls move as the price approached? They are now up higher but still for the same amount at 300BTC. Not exactly sure what the strategy is there unless they are trying to buy coins without raising the price.

(Update)

Was looking at the timed out clark moody data. But the coins are still higher up now. The walls were moved as I predicted. It looks like a couple of them were bought up in that big spike before they had a chance to move them from the slightly higher point they were moved to.

Someone is trying to suppress the price.

[Edit] Make that 4 groupings. Someone is trying hard.

If you look at the 300BTC groups between 6.35 and and 6.36 (3 groups) these are classical fake walls. This would require 1000BTC to go from 6.35 to 6.36 but last time we jumped to 6.36 there was not even 100BTC volume required because the walls were taken down before the orders could be executed. They were there before the price approached them and disappeared as the price reached 6.35 only to reappear after it dropped.

I looked at the order book on MTGox and there are a number of 1k walls spaced evenly apart near $7. To me this is a sign of a bot/manipulator and that these walls are probably not real. Anything that looks computer generated like that usually is. By my count that only amounts for about 5k of the coins but the bot could have made a mix asks at different levels.

Yeah, two days ago was a big shock for everyone so it makes sense that it is still reflected in the orderbook.

I notice 53.5k BTC to $7 right now. Does that seem a lot higher than before to anyone else? This makes it seem unlikely to me we will see $7 any time soon unless most of those walls are fake.

Then again these walls could be by the manipulator who is trying to get people to short in preparation for a massive short squeeze. All it would take is several thousand coins being pulled from the order book and a few thousand coins bought to cause a snowball effect (Short Squeeze).

It does seem a lot higher than before... but I think the Manipulator is simply getting ready, as you said.

It doesn't just seem higher, it is higher. A lot higher. The ask side doubled in a matter of minutes a few days ago.

Can someone give a quick explanation of short squeeze vs long squeeze? Does a long squeeze mean that everyone who is long gets liquidated?

You got it... just not everyone. Only those who are overconfident are liquidated.

The situation is very different to what it was a few days ago. If there is a big squeeze now, it's more likely to be a short squeeze. A long squeeze would be very risky and difficult to attempt without a very large amount of money.

And this time we really can have a short squeeze, because zhou has set aside funds for it.

A long squeeze would be very risky and difficult to attempt without a very large amount of money. Not saying that a short squeeze would be easy either. I don't think a massive squeeze in either direction is very likely tbh. But you never know.
