Title: The Doldrums
Post by: Qoheleth on January 24, 2012, 07:43:46 PM
Price between 6.2 and 6.4 for two days now. That's, what, a 3% range?

Feels downright eerie, especially compared to the volatility we were seeing just a week ago.

It's because...

Yup, Bitcoinica still has the * on the buy side.

There's been so much discussion lately about price stabilization, welcome to the Pax Manipulus  :P

False stability..  Until...  Ka-blammooo

Eventually it has to release pressure... then where it goes.. no one knows! :)

The question is: Will it blow out the North face, or the South?

Give it some time for short attention spans to kick in and new marks to enter the game. New marks are key, their wide eyed bullishness will make those once burned anxious about missing the Next Big Move. Then lather, rinse, repeat.

Relevant joke:
A man noticed a farmer walking with three-legged pig on a leash. It looked very odd. He said, "Farmer, why are you walking a three-legged pig?"

"Why, stranger, this is no ordinary pig," the farmer replied. "One night our barn caught on fire, and before my wife and I even woke up, the pig had called the fire department, and herded all the other animals out of the barn. The next week, a burglar got into the house, and the pig had him tied up and the police were on their way before I even realized what had happened. Then just last week, I fell into the duck pond and was like to drown, except this pig jumped in and pulled me out. Like I say, this is no ordinary pig."

"Well, that truly is a remarkable pig. But tell me, how did he come to have only three legs?" "Are you kidding? A pig this good, you don't eat all at once."

the so called manipulator probably holds all longs on bitcoinica now, has much reserves not to worry about being liquidated by contra-smackdown from other players. and for that i don't see reason for having any big dips anytime soon

Your naiveté is almost touching. One can be the Bubba or one can be the bitch, evidently the second is a familiar and comfortable position for you.

Mr. 5000BTCs is attempting to push the price down.

Edit:  Make that Mr. 10,000BTCs.

And with Bitconica's spreads there is no profitability to set a position.
