We've just broken 600$ on huobi and getting soe volume also!
Yeah, watch how Huobi tries to go up but Stamp refuses to budge.
My theories:
1. Huobi volume really
is fake, and Stamp knows it. Thus refuses to follow such a small percentage of the market in the up direction.
2. Stamp is deliberately holding down the market, fake sell walls, etc. Probably on purpose until the SR coins are sold.
My money is more on #2, because Stamp seems to have no problem following Huobi in the
down direction.
(Although I'm still not convinced Huobi's volume is 100% accurate)On both Huobi and Bitfinex, there is leveraged trading and probably fake volume. Certainly from having watched Bitfinex and witnessed these large flash trades that come out of knowhere and register something like 247BTC @ <$3< around spot price, but has no impact at all on depth of Ask/Bid walls, I am 99% sure that Bitfinex buff their volume and that means chart indicators using Bitfinex data will be skewed and false. From having traded on Bitfinex, I am also pretty certain that a lot of stop loss farming goes on within that exchange and having once witnessed my one of my short stop loss buy orders represent the very top of the market which then plunged around $50 (I was fucking furious), I am pretty sure that the stop loss farmers are 'friends of the exchange' itself. In otherwords, Huobi and Bitfinex are hookey exchanges that just aren't to be trusted, as is BTC-e. Bitstamp for all it's annoyances and faults, is the only large Bitcoin exchange I would deem as being honest.
So without any of the fake volume, the fake wall depth which instils a false sense of confidence in traders, or any of the insider stop/limit order farming, Bitstamp is the exchange which is the most liquid, honest, and the truest representative of where Bitcoin is going. Huobi and Bitfinex are trying to break up the way against the grain of all the near term indicators because:
a) they are manipulated
b) stop loss farmers are going after risk intolerant stop loss orders
Bitstamp isn't following because the big players on there know that right now, the market needs to clean itself out a bit before further progress up the charts can be made. Not least of all, due to the maxed out over extended leverage on the large corrupt, crooked, and hookey exchanges. What whale is going to make large Bitcoin purchases only to have all these maxed out over extended longs cash out at the whales' expense?
If you look at the Bitstamp charts, clear and logical chart formations are made. Bitfinex on the the otherhand is erratic and all over the fucking shop, frequently registering these strange low volume spikes and dips that just don't make any sense.
