Shorting now. Looking to buy back at BTC 17.15 - 17.20.

Still holding my short position. Dropping too fast.

It's been pretty hectic the last couple days. It went from (when I was checking) over $18 the night of the 23rd to just under $16 last night.

It would be nice if it crash to 8$ then raise up like it was (13$-14$).

I've already taken profits from the short bounce from yesterdays bottom.  I'm not jumping back in until everything settles out a bit and trends become clear again.

With these occasional wild fluctuations, how safe would it be to sit in a short position? If for some reason bitcoin were to have another peak and bust cycle, but your short trade expired when the price was at a peak, couldn't you end up losing quite a bit of USD in the process?

If you want leverage go play with SatoshiDice.

Leveraging Bitcoin is to risky as market is too easily controlled.

When Zhutong was rolling, the effect was obvious in the market, He traded against his customers positions.
