Someones putting up a wall on Stamp, everyone is buying in front of it and then its getting pulled. Like three times now.
No there is someone putting limit orders well above the lowest selling price. The walls eats all the lowest asks until it has been filled.

How low do you guys think stamp would follow Huobi? I would speculate after about 350 people might stop.
hell, virtex is still trading at 525-500.. and I'm thinking about cancelling a bid at 300 to put one in at 505.....
scary

Crazy wall action back on Finex.
Either someone desperate to cash out profits or trying to manipulate the market. Or trying to time the bottom.

The only people buying now are people who sold higher. Look at the volume. Volume tells the story. We are very likely just at a consolidation stage on a trip back down. Don't get caught on the wrong side of the is/ought divide. China matters until it doesn't. Just because prices are stupid low doesn't mean they can't get stupider lower. Markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent if you don't manage your capital wisely.
There are silver linings. The good news is that the FBI will probably not get much for their coins. When the Chinese people will discover in a year or two from now how badly the PBoC and their government screwed them out of a leadership roll in crypto, it may do more to foment revolution than Tienanmen Square.
Be smart. Be patient, and be in a position to scoop up bargains should they materialize.

You are basically advocating the following:
* Some guy on the street is selling a $100 note (guaranteed to be non-counterfeit) for $10
* You tell your friend who wants to buy: No don't buy it. He might sell it for $5 if we wait a little bit!
And then if the friend buys it anyway and the man is indeed selling the $100 bill for $5 the next day you mock him.
It's not really relevant price can go lower unless you use margin
or unless it's money you are going to need for other purposes before the market recovers. It is unknown how long it will take before the market recovers. A prudent investor or speculator will price in risk. I am a Bitcoin true believer, but what Bitcoin needs most now are smart day traders to reduce volatility, and absorb/provide liquidity to make our crypto more useful for something other than speculation. The market incentives are there. We just need to be smart enough to take advantage of them.
If you can afford to hold for a prolonged period of time, buy now. Buy your ass off. If you cannot afford to hold for a prolonged period of time, wait until the price is lower. Missing the train is not the end of the world. There's always another train.

There are no bids on Houbi ladies and gentleman.
This is a problem.
It looking more and more like a major decoupling of exchanges is coming soon ala Gox redux.

Interesting point!
I don't know about that, price is still relevant. he coulda bought twice as much if he had waited a day like his friend said.
The price might have gone the other way and if he waited he could have only bought half as much...
I think the price is always somewhat relevant.

Where did all the Bitfinex bids/asks go? Did they make it to where you can't place bids or asks without having the Fiat/BTC? 3K until $1000 and 8K in bids back to $50.
EDIT: Wait, the walls come and go, must be a problem with the Bitstamp integration.

No this is actually NEW China news this time: They want to take down recharge codes and other deposit options, and before it was just bank transfers. For the first time, the situation is actually significantly worse now than it was in was in December. For a while we thought that Chinese exchanges would be able to continue doing volume by using alternative payment methods but now it is turning into a complete cut-off. I bet btcchina's ATMs will be taken down.
Your rendition of what is going on in China does NOT make very much sense- especially considering the extent to which bitcoin mining businesses are operating out of china, as well.
China is going to be o.k. with the various bitcoin mining operations - whther related to the manufacturing of equipment and the actual mining itself? Just seems contradictory and illogical.
Also, isn't there a little irony in the supposed May 10 date, which happens to coincide with the Global Bitcoin summit in Shanghai.... All seems kind of weird.
There seems to be a bit of a contradiction, but we will see how it plays out, and surely, I am NOT completely surprised by contradiction(s) that may exist.

The terrifying thing right now is that the only reason Houbi isn't dumping is there is no bid depth. There is NOTHING to sell into.
Why is that terrifying? Do you have BTC stuck at Houbi you need to sell?
