Nearing the top of the descending wedge.
I'm expecting more down. If wrong, I'd expect a breakout of the trendline to be both violent and large.

I think we're at the new bottom now

A filthy French Weekend?
You mean you wish us to all raise the white flag together
Doesn't make much sense man

Are we sure this is true? I just checked my huobi account and margin seems to be the same

 

At press time, traders were reporting that loan-based trading services were no longer available on Huobi.

OKCoin's international and China-facing websites OKCoin.com and OKCoin.cn were said to be offering limited or augmented versions of the services, though traders were reporting different experiences.

Talking to us shortly before this publication, Bobby Lee, the CEO of BTCC, told Finance Magnates that the importance of this move needs to be taken in context and not be overstated. He explained that halting leveraged trading could just be a temporary action, one of possibly many more tweaks to the service to come, as the exchanges are trying to adapt to the demands of the regulators while nothing official has been decided yet. The real importance here, as he sees it, is that the PBOC is actively engaging with BTCC and other bitcoin exchanges and openly shares this with the Chinese public.

You've never had a long position before, Tzupy. What's the matter with you?

Watching Stamp to see if we have really turned.

The book is pretty thin - 1000 BTC either bought or sold will make a huge price difference, so Stamp (which looks a leader right now) is very vulnerable to whale whims...

Tread carefully. I am looking for a dip to blow the last of my fiat, I put half of what I sold at the high 900s back in at 798 yesterday and then it went below.  Thankfully I am ok now - but I haven't got a clue if I will get one more dip or not for the other half.  Let's see.

EDIT:  Wishing everyone a filthy French Weekend of screen action.

Lol. I plan to go out in a blaze of reckless spending. Is that so wrong?

Hey it seems it not happend so fast but it seems to be happening now sllllloooowwwwwwwww

Hey, I've just noticed a pattern that this crash fits into, but it's only visible at very long range. (You need a big screen preferably to see this - pull the browser page out wide if you can to grow the image to full size. Sorry I couldn't get the pattern very visible at small scale).

This correction may not be as bearish as we think and seems to fall into a "family" of profit taking moves associated with the rise that started back around July 2015.

It appears that every 7-8 months (every 4-5 months earlier in the rise) there's a big profit take like this which always happens at the top of a spike when the market gets ahead of itself. (I call them "propellor corrections" because they look like an aircraft propellor from side on since the price corrects to about the same distance below the trend line as the 'overheat' got above it). All the same there's a longer, underlying trend where the upwards revaluation grows steadily steeper, even despite these crashes along the way.

When the pressure-relief gasket blows on these bubbles it always corrects to just below the top of the previous propellor pattern. Same every time but increasing in size. Then there's a period of consolidation, followed by a slow rise, then steep rise and another gasket-blow.

Each time the correction gets bigger, but it still seems to stick to the rule of dropping to just below the last spike so that the growth trend isn't broken. I now think I'm not the only one to have noticed this and that big players are actively trading this pattern, watching for the overheat-spike and knowing exactly when to profit take, driving that bubble into full temporary reverse with shorts for maximum profit. But they also must know how far to take it because the last spike gives the reference level.

This one was perfectly timed - 7 months exactly.

Judging by its size and perfectly placed timing, we could be in for a very big rise over the next 8 months if the long term trend continues because the vertical distance between each "overheat" phase increases each time by about 60% to 70%.

Just sayin. Context is everything

This China 'clamp down' is this cycle's equivalent of the Silk Road bust.

At the time many thought it was another death (coz illegalz is all wot its good for), but in fact it cleared the decks for new money: people that had been aware but reluctant to get in because of the perceived criminal monoculture. PBOC now doing similar by actually doing their job (not everything is anti-Bitcoin conspiracy) and being seen to protect the next wave of new money that's hovering around, tempted to invest, in Middle Earth.

Applying retail standards to the markets is necessary for the next wave. The unregulated cowboy traders have had their fun, but Granny Shopkeeper would be mad to trust them with her savings. PBOC cleaning out the stables. so we can gallop to a new dawn. Forward comrades!

Looks like your wedge vs my 5200 support line.

I hope your wrong cos I need to pay a few bills and am holding Clambering back up the castle wall - I just hope nobody's waiting with a big bucket of boiling hot tar above.

(P.S. What's the breakout level according to your analysis ?)
