Title: the avalanche
Post by: arepo on January 17, 2012, 10:34:05 PM
Oh yea, definitely not practical for predicting future bitcoin price. I don't trust the depth chart at all.

i find the depth data should be considered in a market where a large player can consume a wall (for instance, the one that WAS at $7.20 not so long ago) and cause an avalanche/roller coaster all by themself. these kinds of movements often belie other indicators.

She is swinging back up from the low $6.xx. Has been the take-off point for last 3 moves up.

All aboard everyone for the ride up to $7.xx once again.

you are dumb. too much downward momentum. too many failed expectations after not shooting to $8 two nights ago. this is a major correction and perhaps a reversal, if too many people get spooked. expect $5.5-$6 before resuming the uptrend, or only down from here.

i love being right.

i got out at $6.45 so screw yall

I have a thing that reloads Gox data every 30 seconds.  It was showing just HEAPS of coins being loaded into the system.  At one point it was 30,000 new BTC every minute being added as ASK.

I don't want to nag, but I used the term "flash crash" first. Try to beat that with an oh wow 5.5 prediction. ;)

Vandroiy is now pissed for having been called dumb. Will rub things in at every other occasion. :P
