Title: We're flatlining again
Post by: Dan The Man on October 28, 2011, 08:47:12 PM
What's the deal with that? For the second time in a week, the price hits a perfectly dead flat plateau. I looked through the history and couldn't find other times where it was similarly consistent for that length of time.

Oh Oh! So tomorrow someone will be cashing out again, pushing the price to 2.53. Then it'll climb again to 3.10 and then flatline again.... It's groundhog day.

My guess is: since the advent of the "liquidity provision bot" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49910.msg594071#msg594071), day trading has become a lot more unattractive, because low volume does not move the market that much any more. Therefor everyhing is slower and, as we can see, at time, no trades happen for quite long periods.
