Title: 80 - 90 What's Happening? Post by: SAQ on April 17, 2013, 07:15:59 PM The price seems quite stable for the last few hours, 80 - 90. What does brief stability mean in a market like bitcoins?
It seems to me that there's a massive wall at 70 and there's a massive wall at 95. Unless we get some big bad or good news we might hang around 70 something to 90 for a while, but why 70 - 90?

Previous support around 87-89 acting as significant resistance. Traders trading the range. Investors waiting for indication of longer-term direction. Title: Re: 80 - 90 What's Happening? Post by: checkers6676 on April 17, 2013, 07:19:33 PM Mr. Goxachev, tear down this wall!
Title: Re: 80 - 90 What's Happening? Post by: epetroel on April 17, 2013, 07:19:56 PM I get the feeling there are a few big investors playing games with the market right now, but that's just my feeling based on the activity I'm seeing.
Most of the small trades seem to be sideways punctuated by occasional very large buys and sells. Title: Re: 80 - 90 What's Happening?

My guess is that over $90 is currently the psychological barrier for bears and below $70 looks like a value for bulls. It may take weeks of this back and forth as people are cashing in and out. I see nothing to suggest another huge surge so far which is why I think we will continue to slowly trend down now as interest wanes. If it helps look at things in days and weeks and stop paying attention to hour by hour. :D Title: Re: 80 - 90 What's Happening?

After big crashes/rallies, consolidation is perfectly normal. Exactly. The market is strongly conflicted about direction. Adding liquidity if you are willing to take the risk is the only way to speed up the process. Title: Re: 80 - 90 What's Happening? Post by: Richy_T on April 17, 2013, 07:31:43 PM Stability in the past has meant pressure building for a rally. Not sure what it means now though. I'm sitting tight for now.
Title: Re: 80 - 90 What's Happening? Post by: ElectricMucus on April 17, 2013, 07:34:19 PM The price is stable in the 70-80 range period will be even better.
Title: Re: 80 - 90 What's Happening? Post by: NamelessOne on April 17, 2013, 07:35:18 PM There has been a rising support line climbing ever since the 50 bottom. The market got a bit excited earlier today and shot up to 98$ when the line was still at like $83, thus the market slowly drifted back down to the line in the mid 80s. The price is how hovering around there.

In the news today Apple shares are crashing today, they are down 5%. Look at that again, 5%. Whatever you want to call the bitcoin market, stable is not the right word.

But even when the price is moving >100% in a day there are a couple hours at a time when the price remains "relatively stable". If the price is not moving right now it just means that the graph you are looking at is lagging behind the market trend. |
