Post by: Hunterbunter on March 27, 2012, 03:44:52 AM
I wonder if anyone with ~45k coins is game. What are the chances of someone actually saying "fine I'll take it" and selling the coins?

What's happening on April 15th?

The last two times I've seen walls like this ended up being pump and dumps.

My loan from INAU matures, and I will be cashing out to buy some form of wheeled transportation.
If the price isn't desirable, I will be forced to hold my BTCs.  :-\

Pumping and dumping would be really not so good for this desire to move upward. I really hope this isnt the third time you see that happen.

Just recently, I wanted to clean up with the Penny Stock-ishness manipulation "OH GOD THE WEEKEND SELL SELL" in this forum.

Guys, you know that this wall has a single owner who can cancel it at anytime? It can also attract a big seller, but as long as it stands, of course noone can cover <4.6. ;D

Pumping and dumping would be really not so good for this desire to move upward. I really hope this isnt the third time you see that happen.

Seeing as it's the only wall...it's either that, or someone actually wants to buy those coins for that price...which...is possible I suppose.

Indicators are pointing to overbought as far as I can see...so when that bid's removed I only see this going one way. This might actually be a very good thing for the price in general if you have the stomach to ride the rollercoaster.

As for the upwards move...there's amazing support down in the mid 3's...if this wall causes that to happen sooner rather than later, I think we'll bounce quite nicely and you'll get a better car than you bargained for in the end.

I wonder if that's 100% of available funds for that person...they've staggered it...maybe to cancel on if the other is sold into or something?

Or maybe they're going to walk it up

Last time I checked you can sell bitcoins to yourself, so the wall is nothing.

Why would anyone do that? 1% fee for nothing?

Support / resistance.  The orange side (support) is a graphical representation of all the bids on the order book, blue (resistance) is all the asks.  It's a fun show, but doesn't really help determine anything.

LOL  sure!


orange is people trying to buy coins, hover your mouse on this line and you will see how many coins is required to bring the price down

blue is people trying to sell their coins, hover your mouse on this line and you will see how many dollars is required to move the price up


right now we see someone is trying to buy a fuck load of coins really close to last price.... when we first see this, we are filled with joy  :D, but then we think, well may someone is just flashing their money trying to bring the price up  :-X

one person wouldn't separate their bids by only $0.01.  they'd set up wider bid points like $0.25 or $0.50 apart.

the $4.61 bid wall is likely someone who wants to cut in front of the person at $4.60

this is more than just a flashing a price to try and manipulate up the price.  this would be too dangerous if the manipulator really didn't want to buy b/c its too close to last price.  a seller could sweep thru with a market order and sell into the wall before the manipulator had a chance to take it down.

It means if you sold 80,000 right now at market price, it will push the price down to $4.20, because you'd "eat up" all the orders of people offering to buy.


Title: Re: oh joy
Post by: adamstgBit on March 27, 2012, 05:15:25 AM
k so here's what i'm thinking

these bids walls are for real.. someone i making a statement "i want to buy XXXXX coins at 4.6"

the market will respond in 1 of two ways

1) fill the order
2) make a counter offer

since 4.6 is a really low price i think #2 is more likely
we'll see a nice big fat ask wall form around 4.8
at which point we will be in stand by of take off mode, just like 2 weeks ago when we went from 4.8 to 5.4

edit:

secret option #3
order  will not be filled
counter offer will not appear
which means up up up  :D

another way to say it is that if you go from the right end of the orange line up the mountain to the left, you are cumulatively stacking the number of btc's to be bought at a certain price on top of the btc's to be bought from the previous prices.


Title: Re: oh joy
Post by: cypherdoc on March 27, 2012, 05:21:11 AM
the longer this wall stays in place the more buying pressure sellers will feel.  shorts will start to get nervous and we've already seen some short covering i'm sure.  the price should slowly rise; or even faster if the buyers forming the bid wall get impatient and decide to start hitting the ask prices.

I think the "pump & dump" Hunterbunter referred to is mostly just teh bots. I've seen a few popular ones the last few days, and the quick visual backtest suggests many people using the same few very simple, very predictable bots.

I do like this wider range we've been in. Much easier to grab a few pips every day :) I also like those really solid walls - a clear clear bottom or top to work within.
