Title: Dead Cat Bounce
Post by: tokeweed on January 22, 2016, 06:17:20 AM
In finance, a dead cat bounce is a small, brief recovery in the price of a declining stock/commodity/currency.  Derived from the idea that "even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height", the phrase, which originated on Wall Street, is also popularly applied to any case where a subject experiences a brief resurgence during or following a severe decline.

It appears to be one.  I think we'll be correcting somewhere around 385 after the big fall from the other day.  It's still an increase from where we started after the early November crash, but we started to get too ahead of ourselves and the Hearn news was the straw that made the correction start

The pump to 410 was just a bit too big and I expect it to be nothing more than a correction for that.

The ascend will start again and we may end January above 400 nonetheless.

we can not really talk about dead cat bounce after a fake dump driven by a statement and some coins dumped because of thief

as i see it this is a double correction of the price waiting for stabilize again at a precise value

BTC was due for a significant correction.  Corrections typically go deeper than fair value.

That said, the Hearn-driven selloff was a bit of an over-reaction.

Some  of the selloff in BTC was due to timing.  It came in the midst of a global flight from risky assets, including risk-on currencies such as AUD, CAD, and NZD.

Although BTC sometime acts as a safe haven, it is at times correlated with other asset classes.  At this point, BTC has a positive correlation with risk assets.

Based on what I'm watching, the bounce in the risk-on currencies could be a dead cat bounce.  If not, then BTC should rally along with them.

And oh
how you lied and oh how I cried

All through the night
all through the night.
Should've known you'd be the same I guess
I'm the one to blame

Will it ever change
nothing ever changes.

The record keeps spinning
baby
round and round
. .
It's like a broken record
broken record
broken record
broken record

Broken record
broken record
broken record
broken record.

It was an expected drop as the support around the $400 price level was too weak to hold. I think we'll sit around $380-$420 for at least a week or two.

This market really is fucking ridiculous.

Last week, Bitcoin was trading at $352, but by the end of the day, it was trading at $390.

4 days later, or 2 days ago, Bitcoin was trading at $428.

Today, it is trading back at $390.


V tops and V bottoms. Looks to me, that this whipsaw, was no more than a violent reaction against the prevaling trend which had over stretched itself.


Would be fucking loving this if I was able to get any good trades away, and whilst I know of folks who are trading well in both directions, I imagine the volatility and lack of retests is proving a little too nippy for the majority. I imagine the majority here are getting wiped out left right n centre here.

What about all those momentum chasers on the break of $390?

They cashed out yet?

NO!

 :D

Seems like it is a dead cat bounce. It also looks like bitcoin has been going back down under $400 these last couple of hours.
I was hoping for bitcoin to stay up there until the end of the month. But who knows what will happen. For now it seems like $400 is too weak to support bitcoin.

But the dead cat can bounce many times.....just wait on the FU move up to $435.......Wipe out all the shorts before coming back down. Mr Bitcoin doesn't like the public getting in on his manipulations.

Your definition forgot to mention that the cat must die. Stocks die when underfunded, bitcoin does not. If you want to determine if this is a dead cat bounce then you are going to have to wait until bitcoin is dead, as it can only be defined in retrospect.

P.s. I have not tested this, but I assume that live cats also bounce.

yeah presumably, but it seems that he did not dumped anything, because they have retrieved those coins, and the thief was caught? i did not follow the whole drama

Yeah...coins stolen from Crypsy fucking ages ago, but the announcement from Cryptsy that this was the case is recent news.

Maybe the theif has cashed them out, maybe he hasn't. Maybe he has cashed some of them out, maybe he has cashed all of them out.

If you look at the charts without any context, it definitely looks like a dead cat bounce however if you know what happened in the bitcoin community you will realize that the dump was stupid to begin with and bitcoin was on the uptrend the last year

Dead, or do you mean to say that either Bitcoins are gonna die or something's gonna kill it, right???

This doesn't look like it, as it is just panic selling by whales just to buy coins for cheaper, maybe because they are preparing for some big pumps that we are going to witness soon...

Well that's our good old rolloercoaster I would say. :D
Would have been nice to stay above the 400 but as it was already mentioned there wasn't much support as it slowly started to decline constantly after the $428 top.

if you looked at the price chart you will see that you can not apply stock market analysis on bitcoin, it has its own way in movement

Indeed.

And how many momentum chasers who bought $400+ Bitcoin, do you think are sitting bagholding BTC right now, anxious on an opportunity to get the fuck out?

Going by the strong break out volume and the weak correction volume that has brought Bitcoin down to well beneath the break out. I would say quite a lot.

Not necessarily.  By dead it means only the current trend is over.  It's a trading term.

Technical analysis is just based on people's attitude towards buying and selling.
The market size and depth of Bitcoin may be different, but the underlying emotions which drive people to buy and sell are the same.

Then what?  Continue to slide down or do the Chinese pumpers come back?

It will bounce up again. I am quite sure the pump that people are waiting for will start within 2 months. The big boys have had enough time to accumulate plenty of coins already. It's due for a massive pump.

The price is pretty much unstable to warrant big buying tendencies any time soon. And if they have enough coins stored already there is no need to pump anything and risking losing money in the process.

The price was pumped when the stock market was crashing. Since the EU bank decided to throw some money at the problem the stock market recovered and Bitcoin started crashing. I'm not sure what will happen next, but I doubt there will be any giant Bitcoin pumps now the stock market is recovering.

The Story of Amph, the Optimistic Sheep!


One warm sunny day on the farm, Amph wanted to go for a stroll in the woods to look for some tasty mushrooms. But his friend, Peter the Pessimistic Pig said;
"No, You can't go there Amph. It is dangerous! There are wolves in the woods".
But Amph replied;
"Yes Peter, but the wolves just feasted on lots of farm animals the other day. They can't possibly have any appetite left. Their bellies are so full, that they probably can't even move! I am off to get myself some tasty mushrooms. You will be crying when you miss out!"

So off Amph went, into the woods......etc etc etc.

99% of people in this forum are optimistic about the bitcoin price but it doesn't really help otherwise the price would be 100k already. I don't believe anyone can predict bitcoin's price at the moment unless it stabilizes more.

Bitcoin has more lives than cat. It has been declared dead 90 times, but it comes back to life every time.

It's because bitcoin has been declared dead 90 times, not bitcoin has been dead 9 times.
Bitcoin network never offline since genenis block mined, so bitcoin never & won't be dead.

I don't think the network being offline or online decides whether it's dead or not (well, it does, but it isn't a factor right now). It is entirely based on support from the community, from people. If nobody backs it it would have no value and be dead.

too short term, but i believe that the range 400-500 will require some time before it can be broken, probably even up to the beginning of spring

It's definitely going to touch $600 in the next 30 days based on all the dramas getting created here on forum and in the markets...

But the big whales will not waste their money. If they think there is no future in bitcoin, they will not accumulate it.
