Title: Why make a large sale on a weekend?
Post by: Cryddit on February 23, 2015, 08:43:02 PM

Did anybody else notice a large sale of Bitcoin, spread across essentially all major marketplaces, at about 2 PM on Sunday 22 February 2015?

Can anyone think of a single reason why somebody with that much coin to sell wouldn't have waited for a weekday when the markets are deeper?  I mean, unless the timing is deliberately chosen to move the price by the maximum possible?

Its the weekend cashing out. People spend their time on other things and holidays on weekends, and almost every weekend you willl see a similar trend.

Yes or he wanted to sell for an other reason and didn't want to lose time or risk the price going lower.

A similar trend is actually seen on every weekend. We can only speculate.

Some people don't know the market well. Did the large sale moved the price that much?

Well.... If I want less eyes on my transactions ... I will leave it for the weekend.  ;)

There are a lot of people like myself .... who sits in meetings all day during the week and leave these trading dicisions for when I am alone at my house and relaxing.

There are some people, who owns businesses and the normal operation of the business takes up a lot of their time... they gather income throught the week, and do the books and trading on the weekends.  ;)

I could the simple fact that people have more time on their hands on the weekends and end-up making more trades.

That would be my guess also. I think i move more BTC on weekends too.

It has been quite a while since we went into a weekend on a high! Interesting what the price will be like on Monday?

2 Fridays in a row with a price hike starting at 0:00hGMT Friday. But not rising as much as last week. Probably return to $238 by monday morning.

Looks like this week will be different. Its already day in China and there hasn't been a significant dump today.
Lets hope it stays that way.

The weekend sales can be caused by just 1 person. There's a lot of people with thousands of BTC like the ones that stole from the exchanges last month or the US government's auction participants.
I remember months ago, when a similar thing happened people blamed the family of Hal Finney.

A whale doesn't necessarily have to sell to get rid of coins.

These guys are playing and teasing on a daily basis trying to trigger panic reactions, etc.

They know very well what they do to get Bitcoin price a few bucks higher or lower.

Very surprised that the price increase has continued past the weekend. Something else is changing in the bitcoin market?

people dont expect it , and when people dont expect something that is when its the best time to get out , or maybe this person heard of some really bad news and had to get his money out quickly. Or maybe he has some insider info about bitcoins future price.
