This bad news really has damaged things from a TA point of view. I think that if the price doesn't crash, despite breaking significant supports, that it will rally up.

What bad news? (Sorry, I've been away)

Yeah, what bad news?

Most of it:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/05/31/why-didnt-bitcoin-users-freak-out-in-may/

The Liberty Reserve incident is what likely took out the support, and killed the rally.

I think most of the guys here believe in what BTC is and what it represents. I just see continued buying pressure coming from many, no matter the price. Of course if you have thousands of shares, that might not be true. In that case I'd be working on PR, before the fiat currency (USD, Euro, etc.) collapse. In general, instead of putting extra money into a bank account with a 1% interest rate (which is losing buying power), just put a little here and there back into BTC.

Basically, we need to remind people of this opportunity and keep tabs.

I recommend writing down the following:
Date of recommendation for BTC
Name of person recommended to
Price of BTC on that day.

Then, every year or huge increase after that, you must remind these people (with an adjusted "profit" amount (I quote it, because it's much much more than profit, it's a revolution)...

I'm really curious as to why there's a wall in many currencies.

Gox has only one market for all currencies.  The bids/asks in any given currency are converted to show in all other currencies, with a exchange fee built in.  The fee does not go to Gox, since they ironically are not licensed to exchange between various fiat currencies. Instead the fee goes to their bank, which does the actual fiat exchange.

The upshot is that if you place a bid in USD it shows up in Pounds, Euros, Baht, whatever else as well.

This is the most natural thing a multi-currency exchange should do. Of course if they take too high fees, others can do arbitrage for cheaper. Basically if the fee is 1%, an actual $$ wall should be 1% stronger than the auto-arbitrage-€-wall. A "buy 1000Ƀ@$120" would be a "buy 1000Ƀ@$119.8" in all other currencies. If you can exchange $$ for €€ cheaper, you can squeeze your offer in between.

What explains that the walls are different size in different currency?

They are adjusted to relative volume.

That's how it works. It's in their FAQ, BTW

Bitstamp Wall vs MtGox Wall  Cool

Chaikin money flow lackluster on mtgox, and sharply dropping on bitstamp. That, plus weekend lull, makes re-test of 125 a possibility. If that happens, I don't expect this barrier to fall though. jm2c

I think if anything the lack of reaction to all the bad news lately is a great sign. The price has hardly moved despite all the problems

how come gox volume is listed as 64% when according to the sites its not:

http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/volumepie/

gox shows Volume: 15344 BTC

bitStamp shows: 6094 BTC

CampBX (on bitcoincharts.com): 946

BTCe shows: 2052 BTC

15344+6094+946+2052=24,436
15344 out of 24436 is 62.79%, not even counting ALL the other bitcoin exchanges

Maybe it just fluctuates wildy?

Maybe this is a "support wall". Maybe some bull(s) doesn't want Bitcoin to crash, so he(they) support the current price as far as possible. Is this somebody from "Bitcoin Foundation"? If that, and if he continue supporting, we'll see stable price around 125-130 next few months before the new big rally.

LOL. A million comes into the order book and a million dollar wall goes up. Noob alert?


Didn't say I believed that explanation, just that it was the simplest, as per Occam's Razor  Wink

Stand down noob assault team  Grin

Just meant nothing is more noob than wiring 1 mega to mtgox then putting up a bid wall like that. I guess he could of just plunked it into the ask wall.....now that would of been cool.

Aaah ... no worries  Wink

Multi currency, co-ordinated support - can only mean one thing ... Uncle Ben is coming to the rescue ...
The Fed is adopting BTC as their new reserve currency  Tongue
