Daytrading Bitcoins is a dangerous game, and a completely reckless game during a bull market.

Most in here delude themselves by seeing their fiat profits going up, so they don't feel so bad by losing coins.

I'd say that:

a) more than 5 trades per month is reckless, considering the high fees + slippage.
b) the only good moment to trade is a bear market - and there's is no bear market ATM (this could change in the next days/hours, but I wouldn't bet on it).

That depends entirely on what your stance is.

If you are in it to make profit in USD (like 99% of this market is doing atm), day trading to get USD gains is perfectly fine. And I say, in a market where there's currently (and practically always) the looming danger that the value of BTC goes through half, securing FIAT profits is not that bad an idea.

If you are a utopian true believer in BTC, believing it will go to 1 million USD per coin no matter what, yeah obviously don't sell then.

Even as a true believer in bitcoin believing that it will go up to at least 6 figures, I'm still going to sell some long before that.  I'm not a fool.

I feel like if bitcoin can't make a strong move to the upside, it will slowly meander down over a few weeks.  There's not as much buying pressure and a substantial amount more selling pressure than one week ago which is why the price has equalized for the short term.  If this increasing selling trend continues we could see substantially lower prices.

I agree totally.
My guts tell my that second scenario will be most likely.
I feel so weak  and sleepy  in such  a days


but sell of  or not  I will stick  to  my  coins

I'm not sure it would be slow.  Not April style crash but these prices are way high.  You have to think of those sitting on new fortunes but a drop to $400, would cut them in half.  The temptation to take off that profit is tremendous.  They've been holding out for $1000.  First ones to do so win...the rest get chopped or they don't care because they are holding for the longest.  Gotta love speculation.  Pretty much create whatever scenario you want.  Grin

You're never too old to think young.
You guys crack me up.  A possibly bearish signal on a weekend no less and there is already the doom and gloom guys making appearances.  

Bears are so desperate that "Price hasn't gone up 1000% today!" is a bearish signal to them.
LOL

So what you're saying is: CHEAP COINS!

In other news, some polish dentist offers 10% off when paid with bitcoin.

The messaging is that bitcoin is extremely volatile and risky, and they do not advise investors to enter.



What is your fascination with my forbidden closet of mystery?

I think the somewhat negative CCTV coverage is having an effect in China.

I missed this. What did they say?

They said : "bitcoin went too high too fast, big bubble danger, stay away"

That was in my fortune cookie last night.

Hmm, Gox does appear to be following.

Has anyone attempted to do time-lagged correlation between exchanges?

You mean a normalized comparison? If I have some time to kill this thanksgiving weekend, I could give it a go.

pretty easy strategy right now would be ..

bracket current highs / Lows .. (sell stop @low 758 / buy stop @high 856)

let it ride if executed (momentum) .. if it turns against your inital position give it room to correct till 50% ~800ish .. if that breaks get out and let the other trade on!

There is also a chance that the holder of 2.5k wall at 900 buys it from himself and causes an euphoria

Big holders have no use for euphoria atm, small users don't have BTC2,500. End of story.

But the tactic is in the book Wink

I think the tide is turning.  Lower highs, no really buying pressure.  Sentiment is turning and the warning from China all scream trend reversal.  Smart whales are likely seeing the same.  I say chances of a big dump are higher than breaking our ATH, let alone hitting $1,000. 


did i missed something ? .. whats up with china ?


however .. yes there is indecision at our hands ... and a resolve of that will gives us further insight..
