Title: Well guys. The rally is over. Post by: incraft3817 on January 13, 2012, 09:43:45 PM There will be a dump before the bitcoin show starts. Buy on rumors and sell on news. The trend is heading down back to possibly 3 maybe even 2. My crystal ball say short, short, short!

Title: Re: Well guys. The rally is over. Post by: BadBear on January 13, 2012, 09:51:40 PM I doubt that. It would take a lot to get to 2 again. It would have to crash to low levels several times to wipe out the ones who would still be buying, before it takes out enough resistance to drop that far.
Title: Re: Well guys. The rally is over. Post by: incraft3817 on January 13, 2012, 09:53:54 PM someone is shorting from 7 again! :D I'm not shorting. My position is long with 1500 bitcoins leverage 10:1. I have another 3000 bitcoins to buy if it drops down more. I'll just keep adding my long position until I cash out with a fat profit.

That's called a martingale. Watch out, you'll get hurt... that is, if it goes down at all. And it will, but not to $2-3. Probably not even to $5. Title: Re: Well guys. The rally is over.

Post by: pirateat40 on January 13, 2012, 10:34:54 PM The part I think a lot of people miss is the differences between a rally and a crash as far as how the market reacts. So, I'll attempt to explain it.
My two cents are free. :) -pirate Title: Re: Well guys. The rally is over. Post by: Technomage on January 13, 2012, 10:38:17 PM It's the shorts that happen in the near future that will power the next rally.
Title: Re: Well guys. The rally is over. Post by: bittenbob on January 13, 2012, 10:44:34 PM It's the shorts that happen in the near future that will power the next rally. Its this that will make the next rally even bigger. This is ultimately why we climbed so fast in the first place. That and since everyone is yelling sell and crash that means it will go up. From my experience when everyone is on here with topics going RALLY RALLY RALLY we have a big drop right then. so by all means... SELL SELL SELL Title: Re: Well guys. The rally is over.

Post by: arepo on January 13, 2012, 11:03:19 PM to me the rally continues since November and no sight yet to indicate the movement is over this. think long-term guys. the MACD hasn't even crossed the EXP yet, the price seems pretty stable, and we could rally within the week. Title: Re: Well guys. The rally is over. Post by: incraft3817 on January 13, 2012, 11:09:30 PM If you guys think about it, bitcoin doesn't mean much except for a small group of people with millions in USD and everyone on this forum. I believe that bitcoins are not worth 6.50, not even 10 or 15 or 20. The correct price for bitcoin is around 1 usd to 3 usd. If you want bitcoins to be around 5 10 15 20 or even 100 usd, come back in 10 years.
Title: Re: Well guys. The rally is over. Post by: bittenbob on January 13, 2012, 11:20:30 PM Bitcoin means something to those that would like to gamble online in countries that wont allow. There are those that use them to buy and sell drugs. There are more people who are interested in bitcoins than you might think. The fact that there will only ever be 21 million of them means that there will not be enough bitcoins for everyone (which is why they are so divisible). I am not sure what the price should be as that has yet to have been established.

Hang on you think you ought to be getting any product for less than half the electrical cost to make it, what a genius? Isn't production going to half in about a year, aren't we just about to get some major coverage? Oh sorry I was dumb, I get it, you're trying pwn the noobs...

Post by: Vandroiy on January 13, 2012, 11:34:57 PM this. think long-term guys. the MACD hasn't even crossed the EXP yet, the price seems pretty stable, and we could rally within the week. You're a go player. Please read what you are writing there again and re-think it. Come on, you know this is not how things work. When you play, do you think about what the moves from the current game's past tell you about the situation, or about the situation and possible future moves? Prices don't move by some magical information encoded into past prices. The price has no opinion, and also isn't something that actually moves. It's two people deciding to exchange something, affected by a lot of things that do not necessarily relate to past trades on the same market. I do chartism sometimes, and I admit it. But I would never do so without having an off-market model to back it up. I have heard hundreds of chartist theories, all but a single one turned out bad, and the remaining one is only valid in bubble context, plus I have no idea just how useful it is. Throwing in magic words without any information on the market context, model, reasoning why it should apply this very moment is nonsensical! If that works just in the slightest, write a bot and get rich without lifting a finger! No offense really... but be a little careful with the voodoo. It's not about whether it's right this time or last time or in some context, it's about drawing all the attention toward trying to decode information that just isn't there. TL;DR: Chartism that needs no context is fishy, check the reasoning. Title: Re: Well guys. The rally is over.

Hang on you think you ought to be getting any product for less than half the electrical cost to make it, what a genius? Price affects mining difficulty, not the other way around. Cost to mine has no bearing on what BTC are "worth" (which is more a matter of BTC in circulation versus sum value of goods in the BTC economy). Title: Re: Well guys. The rally is over. Post by: Sitarow on January 14, 2012, 12:50:37 AM Seems the general opinion is that Bitcoin is overvalued at the moment.
I wonder how long until that sentiment swings back in the undervalued area. 2hrs? 2 days? 2 weeks? 2 months? 2 years? Title: Re: Well guys. The rally is over. Post by: incraft3817 on January 14, 2012, 03:18:56 AM I told you guys to short it. Made a nice chunk off it. :P
