I think that's why this forum exists. I will give you a hint, psychology here seems to have a huge influence:

Damn I dunno if buy now or wait a few more hours...

Buy early enough, its so cheap it would not really matter to you to forget it. Then next year, or 2 years later - its like Christmas came around!

All these excuses for Premature Speculation...   

I sometimes have that early problem as well and I attribute it most of the time to the intentional suppression we see often.

Except Rangedriver.  His short term record is enviable. (Inside info, I assume.)  My long term record is good, but often early (which is roughly the same as wrong, from a trading point of view, but close enough to right from an investor's viewpoint).

Sold my Monero at 0.034. Maybe will buy back lower if it corrects. My long / mid term target prediction is 0.1.

As far as I can tell, it is when the trading period begins for those who deposited. Looks like I was right and it will begin today at 8PM PST / 11PM EST (which would be Mon Noon for them, when the 'Deposit Period' ends) -
 though I did post the possibility it would be Mon 00:00 but looks like it coincides with the deposit period close. Be ready!

The whole point of the 'deposit period' is it gets recorded at the end and those who had Monero in their on-exchange accounts will get 1% bonus deposited at a later time.

It is not specified whether when the deposit period ends and when trading begins, whether or not exchange will no longer accept Monero from the outside - however this is unlikely as I'll point out.

Gambling has a good deal of psychological impact, especially when you introduce player versus player in a more direct sense like we have seen here with these crazy volume pump and dumps.  Put simply, when one of them runs out of Monero because they got outwitted by the market (called the top too early, etc), the gambling FOMO aspect kicks in. Now, the reasonable individual resists this, takes their winnings/cuts losses and leaves. However the unreasonable individual (and I dont know how many there are, but there are a few - and throw in the community/cultural aspect of this) will want to get some more play in. This therefore translates to either them buying back in on the exchange at a possible loss (insane volatility) or seeking more from elsewhere - off exchange - ie more demand - price goes up. Bitthumb has a great incentive to continue to allow deposits during the trading period - more Monero flowing in - probably all week.

More flowing in - more demand for Monero - higher price plain and simple. On top of that of course is the insane trading/dog-eat-dog/gambling that will be ocurring, also driving up the price (see BCH earlier this month)

Right now? I said it before and I'll say it again - they are shaking the weakhands harder and harder as the deadline approaches. I mean, just look at this buy orders on polo. There was some yesterday and last night, but only 2K XMR worth of demand. They are shaking the weak holders, to then buy on the cheap before the real pump happens (and they already have the xmr on-hand)

yes those XMR bids are in the thousands

Remember tho - the trading starts Mon Noon for them, but goes until Thursday - expect serious highs followed by drops then rises again etc. The main event though - the "Bingham King Trader" event is this next coming weekend for them (essentially the 48 hours of Sat and Sun) and the trading measured then will be what determines their prizes - status, etc.

Of course this is just my understanding and analysis. I would appreciate another set of eyes and thoughts though!



edit - trips get

maybe only for those who deposited monero? i dont know.

See this posting from a Korean speaker. According to him trading starts Monday.

So what is the Trading period on the 28th?  'Invite only behind the scenes trading'?

After bithumb its price will be going up sharply. I decided to buy some monero on bittrex before it gets on Bithumb. We can see 1 monero is equal to 0.1 bitcoin very soon at the beginning of 2018.

found it. listing will be on aug 30 damn it.

Event 1 . Deposit 1% if you make a deposit!

 Deposit period: 2017.08.25 (Fri) 4:00 pm Payment address Open - 2017.08.28 (Mon) to 12:00 (Noon)

 Trading period 2017.08.28 (Mon) List of Monero  ~ 2017.08.30 (Wed) Midnight

 1% of monetary amount deposited during benefit deposit period

Now it says (confusingly):  Listing day of Monero ~ August 30, 2017 (Sun) Midnight

The 30th is now the trading opening, then (but it's not Sunday)  looks like a sloppy change, where they changed the date, left the day of the week the same. 

Nope, but the actual 'hour' trading opens was not unspecified, I think.  Someone on here posted it may be 00.00 (midnight Sunday) - but on the schematic they put out earlier a time was not shown.

found any updates?

I think monero will do well these days because all the ethereum miners i know are now switching to monero

u should visit reddit, there is plenty info from native koreans .... what and when

Well, it is after midnight and already Monday in SK now...

And no sign of it on Bithumb yet. Still advert on the front page about the '2 Monero events' but I can't see anything else.

Past experience has taught us there is usually always a big dump after such a rapid increase in price. But i for one, am far too emotionally attached to monero to risk trading anymore, i now only look long term. Many times i have regretted not selling some after a rise in order to buy more back cheaper, but every single time monero has gone on to reach higher highs in the long term. I think if you are not in desperate need of funds then just sit tight. I always sleep well holding monero even when the price is falling as the technology remains a game changer.
