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.

Yes and if people with $$$ come back into the market the jump up will be explosive. But my bet is it will be sold into...

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

This is bitcoin, what gold does in a year bitcoin does in a day or two.

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....

He might be referring to your attitude?

Yes, I don't get too worked up over little things like this. Pretty much guaranteed that BTC will rise above $100 in my lifetime so no sweat. I'm just collecting bitcoins in the mean time.

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.
