Also, pay attention to bitcoin news. The GLBSE news, combined with some wall posturing and low volume, was about as good a suggestion for an impending downward movement as you can get.
In hindsight, definitely.
I read the crash of GLBSE early enough. As I never used it I underestimated its impact, though. Elsewhere was stated the total BTC on GLBSE are around 8000 only, though..
Probably the regular [stock-]exchange hysterica. And then the other signs were there too.
As I repeatedly lost money and/or bitcoins when playing daytrader, I decided to sit back and watch for a while. heh.
Now I'm getting total OT and newb-mode:
What are easily visible hints that something drastic may come?
- low volume for a long time
- too narrow band where the price stays in
- triangle-formation
I won't even start to draw in charts. It all seems perfectly clear when you see someone's results, but figuring it out yourself..?
