guys i shorted @ $462

that means within the next 48h ~$500 will be breached...

and I will literally lose my shorts or eat them.

Just a word of friendly advice, *never* post your position!

Anyone else remember that one dude who posted his leveraged position on Bitcoinica to brag about the ~$24k profit he made, only to be forced out of his position 10 minutes later?

I AM MAX LEVERAGE SHORT

somone wana squeeze me?

please?

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

With this much market manipulation - what are the chances we will see 399?

Is this so much sillier than the narwhals(*) that people have been discussing here?

(*) a large sea mammal reputed to be a cross between a whale and a unicorn.

Oh come on Jorge. These are regular whales we're talking about. Everyone knows narwhals don't exist.

You know they do, right? (I am confused).

this is horrific

i'm going to go hide in a hole, ill be back...

Why hide? Sentiment is completely down, the price can bounce now in the short term. Post your trains now, don't post them at >500 if we get there.

I have proposed a partial explanation: starting May/20, a few people got wind of something that made them buy all they could. Now those people changed their minds, and dumped everything back. So the price got back to where it was. Is this so much sillier than the narwhals(*) that people have been discussing here?

That's how I see it, too.

If manipulation is: Clever players making money with bullish overexcitement, then it's heavy manipulated. Agreed. Business as usual, on all markets, not only bitcoin.

wow... you have spent too much time on this thread Jorge... you are sounding more and more like a troll lunatic/Bitcointalk.org member/one of us than an academic that anyone would take seriously, shame for you.

The language may be a failed attempt to be funny but the opinion is quite serious. What we saw since May/20 was a sudden rise from ~440$ to ~640 that no one can (or wants to) explain, then seven weeks of wandering around 600$, then a sudden drop back to ~470, that no one can (or wants to) explain either. Why is it absurd to consider all that as a single event?

here is a good explanation for that one: "Dell adding Bitcoin" buy the rumors and sell the news, some insiders already knew this was happening so they bought thinking the price will skyrocket when the news is out and they got caught with disappointment when this didn't happen.... what follow next is the market doing its thing.

I think we might have seen the worst. Too bad because I had orders around $430 that didn't get filled.

ah don't worry, I think they will be filled and you will be sorry for not putting them lower.

Could very well be. I have lower bids as well , so keep it coming Grin

A possible explanation: a lot of not so steady hands thought "bottom was in, now lets go in for TO DA MOON $10k by end of the year".
Then it turned out that bitcoin doesn't magically give instant riches as quickly as they wanted it to (not enough new buyers yet at higher prices), and then they got fearful when it started going down again.
