I feel bullish.

Talk about no selling pressure. 2k BTC down to $110, and none of that 18k BTC between $113-$120 is interested?
No one is in a rush to buy, no one is in a rush to sell. We've found a price everyone can disagree on.

That total lack of volume.

There's +170k BTC on the selling book. If sellers believed they were worth less than $113, they would be selling.
Agreed. There's 2.7M of fiat between $100-$112. No one wants to cash out 25k coins for 2.7M? So if the buyers think it's worth between $100-$112 and every seller thinks they can get more then $112, that's an awful lot of people who have some measure of confidence in BTC. And now we can get amazon giftcards for BTC again, yaaaayaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Well, you know how it works. A little dump, bids get suddenly pulled, a slightly bigger dump, panic, lag, spreads get huge, more panic, Gox crashes, market cool down... And when they reopen trades...
Puff, and it's gone
Mt. Gox lag and crashes, the ultimate market stabilizer.

bull logic: "lets buy all the bitcoins and NEVER sell them to ANYONE 
"
"Sound logic. Why trade sound bitcoins for inflatable government tokens

Guys... The Humble Double Fine Bundle now accepts BITCOIN!
If Totalbiscuit starts talking about it...

Wow this is great,HB are highly regarded as innovators in game distribution so i think that the whole game industry will give it a though now.And it looks like coinbase will be considered much more seriously after the high profile funding.This is the first thing i was already using regularly and am able to pay in bitcoins from now on.

But I was too pessimistic. I still think we can go quite lower short term, but I'm now pretty much convinced that $50 was the real bottom. In my book, thats quite bullish - heck, we where at $14 at the beginning of this year
People seem to be forgetting that you could buy thousands of Bitcoin for $15 each only four months ago.
Are they really worth $113 or more right now ?
Nobody seems to think so or they would not be sitting on the orderbook remaining unsold for days.

This is also true, a lot of people believe they're worth more.
However it's a buyers market and nobody's buying much above $112 at the moment.

No, I wasn't defending TA with this, simply pointing out that "they'd be rich and they wouldn't be on here making charts" wasn't exactly true.
(With a tongue-in-cheek, I must admit.)
Edit: I saw the potential, but I was also too entrenched to recognize the possibility of a bear market. Now at least I'm sitting on the fence.

I know a lot of people who wish they could go back to 2011 and be entrenched with you. Those $2-$10 coins sure look good right about now. I have a couple of friends who wouldn't sell a single BTC they mined even though they spent 10k+ on hardware (with $2000-$3000 a month in electric bills). I thought they were crazy. Turns out a little passion, belief, some smarts and a willingness to stick to your guns sure pays off. Back in 2011 if you even said BTC would be worth $100 one day you'd be laughed off the forum. Most of us weren't sure this would be around month to month let alone years. There were some brutal hacks/crashes/scams that were some rough growing pains.

I'm really enjoying the price stability the past few days. If it continues I do think it will be quite good for bitcoin adoption. As the market is typically extremely volitile it does make me think that there are people who are creating the stability intentionally. If so, keep up the good work. Do others think this as well?
To me, the enthusiastic crowds of new bitcoin buyers are missing. Bargain-hunting buyers are more cautious about buying above these levels. Caution facilitates patience.
But should prices slowly slump, or perhaps simply not rise, then I believe there will be another leg down testing $80. In a collapsing bubble, price trend bias is downwards.
Not a bad outcome. Everything above $50 feels bullish to me. IMO there is a lot of real economy to be built around Bitcoin, and it has to be much easier to buy and trade before prime time

Well according to our fellow triangle of doom, the price is actually supposed to stabilize now.
Should stay within $100-$115 and tommorow within $100-$110.

The triangle might not "complete". The price could exit the formation in the next... 10 minutes!
Dan dan daaaaan!

Price discovery phase. End of speculative mania. Sounds good, right?
