this is my chart I wrote a while back. Pretty accurate, no?
Every time there is a decent sell then a decent buy I can't help but think that someone is saying, "Damn! I didn't crash the market. Now I have to buy all my coins again 
"
"I hope so, I really hope so. It would be very enjoyable.

Wow it took a while for that to start going down eve a little bit.
Iceberg!
In case you missed it, during the action last night, two parties built up a very sizable options position during the move.
Someone bought ~33,000 calls between $17-20 strike.
Someone else sold short 27,000 puts between $33-35 strike.

The puts alone would require a deposit of at least 60,000 BTC in the seller's MPEx account. Could this person also be preparing to push the exchange rate upward?
All of these options expire TONIGHT. So the rate needs to be moving NOW.

Can you explain the significance of this to (like I am five)?
the person who bought the calls can exercise a right to buy BTC at the strike price (17-20). So the buyer thinks that the price will be above this price (and obviously the seller does not). But it is not quite even in sentiment because a seller generally walks away happy -- he gets to sell the BTC at what is presumably a profit AND gets the price of the option (read abt covered call investment strategies).
The buyer of a put has the right to sell BTC at the strike price (33-35). So some seller is VERY bullish. Except I don't understand the terminology "sell short a put"... I suppose that might mean the seller does not have the USD in his account to cover -- he only has BTC (or some other security).
Selling puts is actually a very smart way to buy in a rising market. So the price is 19 USD and I sell a put for with a strike price of 34 USD. I get 15 USD and a premium on top and have the obligation to purchase 1 BTC tomorrow for 34 USD. If the price is stable or even drops a little I get to acquire my BTC without moving the market. If the price rises to less than 34 USD the holder of the puts has to buy at market in order the exercise the put and get some of his money back. This is the best scenario for the seller of the put.
