Title: Riding the weekend lull for fun and profit
Post by: keylimesoda on July 08, 2011, 03:59:53 PM
It seems like every weekend, the Bitcoin value takes a dip.

Anybody else making money just by selling on Friday and buying on Sunday?

That looks like the current trend however it can easily change if enough people try to beat the system

It seems like every weekend, the Bitcoin value takes a dip.

My "rule of thumb" for that has been:
  If by Wednesday evening/Thursday morning the high is lower than the previous week's high, then sell on Wednesday evening / Thursday morning  and buy those back on Sunday afternoon -- before Asia wakes up.

But don't whine if, like what happened on Easter weekend, getting back in on Sunday afternoon costs you more than you made by taking advantage of previous weekend dips.
