Solex, that's a great signature.

Do you get many takers?

This "Get-out-of-Gox" yankee-rally won't last long Cheesy [emphasis added by Pzi4nk]

Is this a baseball thing?

It's more of an idiot thing.

A few vocal people who trade with 'pocket change' amounts of money can't make a withdrawal for 25 cents any more and this is creating a big problem for them.

They think it's causing a 'bank run' on MtGox - it's hilarious.

Dwolla = Dust transactions.

Indeed. The theory is that dwolla users (which is USA customers only) are converting their fiat on gox into btc in order to shift it elsewhere, hence artificially driving up the price, towing bitstamp and other markets upward.

However, major dollar buyers would use wire transfers and remain unaffected, so probably the theory is lame, and BTC was headed up anyway,

The cool thing about this conference is that I got to chat with Brian Armstrong before he went on to Free Talk Live, and I learned why they had so many problems with low daily limits on the number of BTC they could sell. It was because of limitations placed on them by their bank, not anything inherent to their processes or backend capability. Apparently the bank has removed this limit as a result of their success in raising $5 million in additional capital.

Once awareness of this increased capability spreads, I expect it to have the same effect on the price in the medium term that their initial unveiling of ACH purchases had back at the end of January.

Great inside info JR. Interesting.

I don't see the volume for that

From what I understand the Dwolla users transfer a few hundred dollars at a time so there's no surprise there.

There's a strong buy wall right now, and the sell wall is vulnerable.
That 1300 wall has been reduced to 500 so far. Not THAT strong.

What I look at are the shapes of the wall, not so much how many buys there are to sells. For instance, inward curved walls have a lot of strength the more curved and smooth they are. Staircases, and linear walls are often the weakest.

It has a lot to do with the mentality of the traders, smart traders space out their orders, at optimum positions, and don't use whole numbers.

If there's an outward curve, that likely means that there is a resistance/support wall, that once broken, the sky becomes the limit (At least until people start selling).

Curved walls also tend to be the most adjusting, while other walls can be there from old orders, and are not often very strategically placed.

Stairs in the wall, only give traders a target, the more stairs at whole numbers, the more easily it will break under continuous attack, that is unless it comes to the point of being curved instead.

If there is one large break, it is a strong resistance/support, that can eventually break if not removed, but depends on where the market is heading in the long term.

Stairs that are far away, are possible resistance/support points, that could easily form a curve between three or so of them when reached.

If this proves useful to you, please tip a few cents! v   Smiley
