We've seen in April/May/June that walls that walls of any size which pop up in front of a downtrend on low volume will be filled. At the peak of the second bulltrap in may on gox there was an 8,000 btc wall at $127 which popped up after the trend had already reversed from $136. It was filled along with about 30K of orders beneath it in a giant market order, and the downtrend proceeded to $66. On the way down there were also a variety of 5K - 20K btc walls that came into the play.

The walls are of course a bullish sign that there is demand from real investors and this may be a fair price. However, people are mistaken to think that it will stop the train.

I'm pretty pleased with the stability tbh. We could well hit 550 tomorrow but it looks like we'll settle at 650 come monday. I don't expect much volume over christmas and once we get back over 800 we'll have officially shaken off china. We'll probably have a lot of panics as china exists but we'll be 800 into the new year regardless

Have you ever watched the price of petrol/gasoline during a global crisis? It increases dramatically. When the event is over and the market stabilizes the price drops but never to the level that it was before the event that moved it. Bitcoin is proving to be a commodity the reacts similarly.  
I hear what you are saying but gas prices are the most manipulated commodity ever. bitcoin is heavily manipulated but not to the same extent i.e. there is no real opec in our scenario.  We could say the 'bit' in 'bitcoin' is because it's a bit like oil, a bit like gold, a bit like whatever.

I suppose the gold/oil connection is scarcity/difficulty. I'd argue bitcoin is closer to gold than oil. Gold and bitcoin have arguable intrinsic value but it's scarcity that makes them valuable. Same for diamonds/silver etc. Yes you can do some stuff, make jewelry and electronic components but it's manly about a store of wealth.

Oil is different. Oil has a real intrinsic value. It is fuel. A real difficultly(cost) to mine plus it has a cartel limiting the supply.

talking out loud tbh lol

Wow, some of the posts in this thread are a celebration to fiscal irresponsibility.

Fiatleak is showing lots of CNY going in, did they fix it?

This is why Fiatleak is useless.

The slide will continue and I expect a Christmas rally which leads into a bear trap


If we make it through the weekend, I doubt we slide to much lower then 550 with out a manipulator or manipulative news.

Guys I think there will be still another crash/flash crash that will bring us to a new low assuming that by looking to the other crashes we had before (except if this time is different), I cant imagine how low but I think we will stay above the old ATH ($266), than maybe we will be somehow stable there for couple of weeks than the race will start again.

we will bounce many times and continue the negative trend (if there will be no flash crash)

PS: some people would like to get their cash before the holidays, all banks closed no cash in/out of exchanges and really low volume add to that BtCchina still having deposit issues.



Much agreed, prolly we'l barely touch the 3xx's, if even. Happy trading!

There's no reason why it's impossible we can keep going up, the trend needs to be broken at some point. A few weeks back lots of people were saying that a major retailer adopting bitcoin was the thing that was needed for higher prices. Now it's happened, but everyone is still reeling from China and expecting impending doom.
What happened?
Overstock will accept bitcoin, not exactly eBay or Amazon, but it's making news in the US.

And where do you buy your Bitcoins in the US? localbitcoins.com? So your going to shop online at overstock because it's convenient but first buy your Bitcoin to use there from some guy after setting up a meet or trusting an online trade. Forget about the US, those idiots are gone from the game. Focus on the rest of the world.

Coinbase.  US is the largest player in the BTC game. 

Not for long!

Who, QA? Coinsetter, Kraken or someone else?

Their government is a horrible monster (like a Kraken) that will oppress its people eventually and keep them from using it or wage some ad campaign that pollutes the mind of the citizenry until no one will want to touch it. Just wait and see. 

I'm sorry, I totally misread your comment-- thought you said coinbase would be superseded by another US player, not that the US would be. Thanks Smiley
