Well, it seems like we'll have manipulated low prices for the next two weeks until after the auction then. Super.

Are you still looking for "fundamental reasons" for any minor (or sort of minor) price swing?

If so, how come I (and many others, I'm sure) where able to sketch out this drop about 2 weeks ago, looking at the charts alone? All of us just got lucky? Every damn time this happens?
Peace, each one with his religion...  Smiley

Maybe your TA has been right; I have not kept track who posted what, among lots of TA pointing to every possible price move in every time frame...

I think we do have at least one candidate "fundamental" for the current fall, the Caixin article of June 12 (China time).  There may be others, in China or in the "West".  Just because we do not know any external cause for a price move, it does not mean that there was no external cause, much less that the move was driven by price history alone.

But in fact we do know, with great confidence, the external causes for most of the major price moves that happened since early 2013, at least.  That should justify looking for the causes of this last rally, no?

Only $660,000 to get back to $640.

$2,830,000 to get to $640 on Bitstamp
$   660,000  BFX
$   640,000 Huobi (Realistically much higher)

unknown BTC-E (~$600,000 again)

So in total about $5m to get to $640.

Only a broad change of sentiment and a single newbie poor student to take us to 2000.

What are your thoughts on the public note in this wallet? Looking to buy cheap coins? Real deal?

https://blockchain.info/address/1Ez69SnzzmePmZX3WpEzMKTrcBF2gpNQ55

Public Note: Because I care about Bitcoin's integrity, I will release funds onto an exchange EXACTLY 1 Week from now. 6/19/2014 at 1:30 PM (PST). This is your fair warning.

Final Balance   29,658.79870152 BTC

That note isnt even by the person who made the wallet. Its just some random guy trying to scare people.

Lol, I sent some coin with a new public note saying I was the FBI SR buyer.

EDIT: Damn somebody messed it up right after me.

 Cheesy it looks like the person who added a message after yours really thought people were selling because they thought the FBI had really told everyone they were selling the stash in that message.... Cheesy

I just lost 2 months salary in 30 minutes.  Of course, I made 3 months salary on the run up from $400...

BTC is a hell of a drug, way too addictive.
