The 'problem' is that the current sell off is happening in slow motion. There is no panic selling going on at all, just a couple dumps over the course of a day and no real buying pressure to bring the price back up. This makes it hard to predict a bottom or a bounce, it could slide down for a while longer until bulls finally wake up.

"Slow motion" it took 2 years for gold to do the same corrections (or what ever we call it).

I think people are betting on MTGox being competent tomorrow. What if they announce that they still haven't got their bank up to scratch and it will be another 2 weeks until you can withdraw?

No no, no chance of a bounce at all.
Bull traps always happen and often times quite violently, but deluded bulls will say it's the emergence of a new bull market because China Winklevoss Argentina Turkey Cyprus instead of selling. I won't make any efforts to predict them, and I'm not at all actively trading.

Thanks but once again, I'm looking for a good point to short with the lowest possible risk. Just dumping everything on the market right now might cause me to miss the bottom. Yes, I believe we are that close to it.

because....

by the way, I love how your picture is so perfectly in tune with your forum personality.  Smiley

Yet it really seems that 81.87 will be possible bottom at this moment. But for how long? Again, just a few hours?

Exactly, if it is a "floor" with no buys coming through then I am not impressed. It seems like just another silence before the storm.
But again, we are on levels where we could bounce violently. But I don't feel like gambling...

I did. I bought 100 BTC @ average of (gox 0.5 % included) $81.27 and waiting to sell again...

EDIT.
I sold all my trading coins (100 BTC) @ average 101.97 USD/BTC. I think I'll buy back @ 80-85 USD/BTC.

EDIT2. although I have added more funds to trading wallet.

wouldnt you have expected some news from gox if everything was okay for tomorrow?

they would have given a "status update" just to let everyone that the 2 week estimate was still accurate.

i think the saying no news is bad news applies here.

Something doesn't seem right. Market depth is so heavily in favour of buy with 1k moving us down 1 dollar or up 5 dollars.

I'm holding, as usual  Cool

The question is, are those bid walls (or depth) real?
That is the hard thing. Looking at the depth I say "bullish" and then another sell of 500 goes through. I've wondered if it's the same people or parties...

Tried to withdraw 10000 usd a few days ago, support staff said I had to wait for at least 2 more weeks because they were having a long queue of requests to process. I doubt this problem will get resolved anytime soon.

In the mean time, I know most of you are in fiat right now so it is in your interest for me to sell my hoard.
Are people serious when they say this sort of stuff?


Why not? If I sell, the price comes down more. If their message affects more people, it keeps bringing down the price. Something something butterfly effect.

Everyone wants to buy in at the bottom.

Small bounce?

Mtgox just about has to. Bitstamp should fall quite a bit, though (I cant't see any reason why it should stay higher or even very close to mtgox).

Bid side on Bitstamp is actually still looking pretty strong. 5100 coins to 75, 2600 coins to 90. Waiting for a nice 1k sell to prime us for the 70s. Smiley

I know. Why do you think bitstamp is trading higher than mtgox at the first place!?  Cool
So I am doing the same as you - waiting for a nice big dump of at least 1000BTC before even thinking about trying to catch a bounce...  Roll Eyes

I remember it was the same during the whole of the 2011 bear market.

Cool story bro.

You realize most of us are just trying to prevent you from having the same pain we did?



no pain no gain. some people learn their lessons the hard way.



dooooooown sheee goeeeeeees.
