No stops were triggered and no forced liquidations happened. In fact, BTC swaps (shorts) went up during the spike.

Well, the spike in shorts went down again, so someone closed their shorts. People were shorting and closed some already. If the shorts keep piling up, well, that's alright with me. I can't wait for a short-squeeze Smiley I like seeing some nice and green fireworks.

Exactly.  I really thought that BitFinex's stops would get hit.  That BTCe trader/s was quite aggro.  I think, or I hope we'll see him again.  Market action has been so boring lately.



I believe that some stops did get hit, that's almost a given, actually. But it seems like the amount of shorts being closed wasn't big enough to push the rally even further. It's really been a while since we've seen a real short-squeeze cascade. Well, except maybe for BTC-e, it really looked like their trading engine was making some people really bitter the other day - and others pretty happy, I believe!

Ooohh...  No wonder people were calling me a retard...  Grin

Someone doubled down and capped the price. Good luck doing that again if some positive newsflow emerges with short swap interest supply dwindling and interest rates rising.

It's not good for one's mental health to be opening up threads about every single price fluctuation, even if we are on the speculation subboard.

Aka so nothing. You started this thread on nothing and well after the action took place, so shame on you.

Well boohoo, I embarassed myself on Bitcointalk.

Anyway, I posted this during the pump.  And hitting those stops could be one motive of the pump.  Here's a video of the analysis.

OP has a false fantasy of getting rich quick with bitcoin pyramid scheme.

Hi Chef!  I didn't know you're involved in a little sockpuppetry.  LOL!

If the pumper's motive was to hit all the shorter's stops, I guess he should have pumped at Bitfinex... Or maybe Bitstamp?  Unless he had trouble doing a wire transfer on those two exchanges. 

Also, Bitfinex was wise to keep the price down.
