Price was set to go down before this significant move Grin

tbh

Whenever there's no volume on Bitcoin, you can bet the price will go down.

do you believe your own generalities? or do you simply make a habit of hindsight rationalizations that make it seem to yourself like you're an infinite spout of wisdom?

in the historical data sideways consolidation has been bullish for Bitcoin more often than not.

Now we need that "never seen before" bubble chart to put these "it might never go back up" talk in the time frame on it Grin

not to scare you, but what if the price never goes back up? it's certainly a possibility that you must consider.

Being struck by an asteroid is certainly a possibility too, I for one will owe Mark Williams a formal apology and admit his prediction that Bitcoin is a bubble and will go to $10. If we don't see a new ATH in the next 12 months feeling bullshit I'll say 2.

it is not a "SIGNIFICANT MOVE" as far as bitcoin price action is concerned, but it carries information in the short-term.

Exactly. Earlier today when I posted a chart illustrating the support breach this morning and lack of pressure to fuel a strong bounce, I was told I was over-analyzing. And I thought, do people around here wait for a sell-off to conclude that the price might go down? I'm trying to close or accumulate position before that occurs....

yeah it seems many traders around here don't understand the idea of keeping ahead of the market. chasing the market is more obvious, but obviously less profitable Tongue

it also doesn't require empirical methods of constructing a workable signalling theory like the one i outlined in my last post. but then again, many traders here don't even "believe in" TA at all Wink

Is anyone considering that a powerful operation is dead set on destroying the value of bitcoin once an for all? International effort would be a piece of cake.

Happy st paddy's

Here's the skinny: 2 out of 3 of the world's superpowers (Russia and China) are against Bitcoin. This leaves only the Unites States left to really support Bitcoin and set an authoritative precedent in the world. Also ,exchanges are dropping like flies. This year Bitcoin is actually experiencing a "reverse adoption" like never before (except maybe 2011) which is outweighing the adoption. The only hope left is that the United States continues to embrace Botcoin and that these exchanges start opening in New York in June. If I see that this is not going to happen then I will be leaving.

this is the largest range in any 6-hour period in the last 7 or so days.

7 days is nothing, 2% is nothing in Bitcoin, current boring situation is unusual. Move on, you know just as I do that we'll see significant moves in either direction soon so why making nothing to be significant.

-facepalm-

we're mincing words at this point. it is not a "SIGNIFICANT MOVE" as far as bitcoin price action is concerned, but it carries information in the short-term. it strengthens the case for a movement downward before we break above the mid-term resistance. you may disagree, but try not to sound so categorically correct when you do.

This is actually the worst order book (ratio) I have ever seen in Bitcoin. All of the gox orderbooks in apr-jul 2013 even at their worst looked better than this.

The problem is, in hindsight, how legitimate were those order books.

True, the gox orderbooks were probably 70-90% fake fiat and fake coins.

I would NOT describe a $5 to $10 downward trickling movement as a "significant price action."

then you have something to learn about price movement. not only is a $15 movement in a 6-hour period the largest range we have seen in about a week, the volume associated with the movement is the largest we've seen in that same time frame. this makes it significant in magnitude if only in comparison to the watching-paint-dry-caliber price behavior this past week. it is also significant in that it may herald a steady increase in volatility from here on out after that painfully quiet consolidation.

However you describe it move from 630 to 620 is not significant move, specially in Bitcoin. It might go down more of course and make it significant but no fancy big words talk could make it significant at this moment.

no big words necessary. $635-$620 is a range of $15, in 6 hours. this is the largest range in any 6-hour period in the last 7 or so days. the associated volume is also greater than any 6-hour period in the last 7 or so days. the move in itself is not a significant price move, but it carries significance in relation to the price environment. but i guess it doesn't matter much to someone who's so damn rich they can't help but post their holdings any chance they get Tongue

also, as if on cue, a massive askwall just appeared at $630.

So, if loss of bid depth on both sides is dramatically measurable, that likely translates to a short-term loss of interest in BTC and likely downward trends....

I say it means hoarding has really begun.

a WILD CONJECTURE has appeared! Tongue

pretty sure it was just traders shifting the position of their orders in response to the first significant price action in almost a week. i forgot how far you guys in this thread will extrapolate and exaggerate any innocent data...
