It's interesting how after buying everything up to $110 and selling everything down to $101 that the bids and asks filled the middle in again so quickly at a variety of prices, creating a market depth profile that looked like nothing had just happened.
I was thinking that same thing. Who's providing the stability?
Like many others, I'm placing bids and asks to try and take advantage of the situation to make a few bucks. The depth is probably a result of everyone doing the same thing.
How? With this lag?
There isnt any lag? And its mostly irrelevant at a time like this. Place a bid somewhere pretty low, depending on how risky you are, behind 500-5k of bids... then place asks 500-5k behind the other asks.
If you did this throughout this situation, you'd have made a killing. All it relies on is that the market acts extraordinarily stupid, so this wont usually work, and you wont be able to tell it would have until after the fact.

Imagine what people are going to think when they wake up and check the charts.. see no volume followed by 50k... and no significant change in price. I know if I were that person, I'd squint, check bitcoinium, clarkmoody, etc... and then of course, check the wall thread to see live reactions.
over 40k coins changed hands. That's $4 million bucks
