Looking for a bottom to form now? How can we confirm a temporary bottom? Going back over $230?
My guesstimate for the next local bottom is 210$ - 215$, with rebound to 225$ - 230$, followed by a lot more downtrend. Stopping now at 221$ would be somewhat bullish IMO.

Everyone's eyes should be glued to the charts at this pivotal point.
Could you elaborate more please. Daily and weekly Bollinger bands are at the tightest levels they've been at for years. This is in addition to the volume flattening out over a long time. A breakout here is likely to set the tone for the coming weeks and months. Considering that daily PSAR is bearish and daily MACD turned negative, while price is hugging the lower daily BB, the likely scenario is bearish. Bearish scenario is too obvious...so up UP! Sometimes the obvious scenario just happens, like now... so down Down DOWN!

Quoting from the 22nd April 2015 report, a total of about 1.3 billion yen (over 10 million dollars) is owed by Karpeles to MtGox depositors.
I wasn't sure about the amount. It was 10M then. The critical question is then "Will he give them back?" Since Kobayashi opened bankruptcy proceedings of Tibanne, he will be forced to give a % back (how much % is the question), quoting: While I have continually and strongly claimed against TIBANNE Co., Ltd. (“TIBANNE”), which is the parent company of MtGox Co., Ltd. (“MtGox”), for repayment of the loan receivables that MtGox has against TIBANNE, repayment from TIBANNE has not yet been made. Accordingly, on January 29, 2015, I applied for commencement of the bankruptcy proceeding for TIBANNE, as a creditor thereof, with permission from the Tokyo District Court. In response, on January 30, 2015, the Tokyo District Court issued an order of commencement of the bankruptcy proceeding for TIBANNE. I, as the Bankruptcy Trustee of MtGox, will continue to make efforts to take necessary measures with respect to collection of receivables due from affiliated companies, etc.

Quoting from the 22nd April 2015 report, a total of about 1.3 billion yen (over 10 million dollars) is owed by Karpeles to MtGox depositors.
1. TIBANNE Co., Ltd. The bankrupt entity has recognized that it has loan receivables in the amount of JPY 772,791,001 (based on the settlement accounts of the bankrupt entity as of April 24, 2014) against TIBANNE Co., Ltd., which is the parent company of the bankrupt entity. Therefore, I claimed for repayment of the loan receivables against TIBANNE Co., Ltd. However, I could not receive any repayment from TIBANNE Co., Ltd. Therefore, I filed for the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings against TIBANNE Co., Ltd. on January 29, 2015. As a result, on January 30, 2015, the court ordered that such bankruptcy proceedings be commenced (Tokyo District Court 2015 (fu) No. 585). I plan to collect the receivables properly by filing a bankruptcy claim form during the process of the bankruptcy proceedings against TIBANNE Co., Ltd. 2. K.K. Shade 3D Since the bankrupt entity has loan receivables in the amount of JPY 338,139,321 (amount based on the settlement accounts of the bankrupt entity as of April 24, 2014) against K.K. Shade 3D, which is a subsidiary of TIBANNE Co., Ltd., I claimed for repayment against K.K. Shade 3D and continue to negotiate such repayment. If voluntary repayment from K.K. Shade 3D is not likely to occur, I plan to consider taking necessary legal action. 3. K.K. Bitcoin. Cafe The bankrupt entity has filed its proof of bankruptcy claims (consisting of loan receivables in the amount of JPY 60,000,000 and accrued interest) in the process of the bankruptcy proceedings against K.K. Bitcoin. Cafe. However, one of the creditors of K.K. Bitcoin. Cafe objected to the full amount of the aforementioned bankruptcy claims. In response, I filed a petition for bankruptcy claim assessment against such creditor to the Tokyo District Court in November 2014. The Tokyo District Court then determined on February 12, 2015 that the assessed value of such bankruptcy claim is the same as the value stated in the filed bankruptcy claims. However, the above creditor filed an action to object to the bankruptcy claim assessment on March 11, 2015. The case is currently heard before the Tokyo District Court as the case for the objection to the bankruptcy claim assessment (2015 (wa) No. 6570). 4. Robert Marie Mark Karpeles Since the bankrupt entity has loan receivables in the amount of JPY 136,175,781 (amount based on the settlement accounts of the bankrupt entity as of April 24, 2014) against Robert Marie Mark Karpeles, who is the representative director of the bankrupt entity, I claimed for repayment of the loan by him and continue to negotiate such repayment. However, since he has so far not presented any repayment plan to me, if voluntary repayment from him is not likely to occur, I plan to consider taking necessary legal action.

Would it be legally possible for Kobayashi to reimburse the MtGox customers in 2 steps? I mean, Karpeles still has a lot of depositor fiat in his possession, that he has no intention to give back. The trustee only has 202k BTC and some fiat available, and likely won't be able to get the rest of the fiat from Karpeles anytime soon. It may take another year or more until some of the fiat that Karpeles loaned to himself could be recovered.

Permabulls interpret the graph through a 2012 "lens", I do through a 2014 one.

If bitcoin won't be obsolete or worse by then, I expect the seller pressure to be halved soon after the block halving. Several months after this, price should peak at 10 - 20 times the level at the moment of halving.

My bearish scenario points to about 70$ in February 2016, so by 1st April the price should have recovered somewhat. How much recovered, I can't predict, so out of my ass I'll say 115$ on the 1st April 2016.

Bulls negotiating their surrender, this takes some time.

Since some days ago we are in record undervaluation: -81%
When a model results in such a large difference with respect to reality, it's time to abandon the model. Some may prefer to abandon reality though...

... I have already said that IF that happens (or something else convincing enough) I'm certainly long. But right now could go either way. I'm just gonna follow the current wherever it goes.
I believe in a bullish scenario we are in a similar position with the days preceding the mid November 2011 correction to 2$. Of course, I am 100% fiat and looking for a good shorting entry.

A big crash (big both by volume and amplitude) would be bullish IMO. But that's not what I'm hoping for, because it could mean we already saw THE bottom. I hope we'll go a bit up and sideways, until bulls lose patience, then start crashing, first slowly then faster as panic spreads, culminating in a beautiful long squeeze.

It's just a matter of time. The first objective is Mariupol, then completion of a land bridge to Crimea. Eventually, they plan to take Odessa, but the logistics would be a problem. I doubt this can be achieved without massive involvement of Russian regular troops.

Come on, bulls, you can do it! A little pump is all I ask, so I can place my short tomorrow. "Come on bulls and investors. Put your money here so I can shit on your face (likely with leverage) tomorrow for personal gain!". Perhaps this ongoing mentality is why there isn't this "new money" coming in I keep hearing about. This is how markets work, everybody is after his personal gain. At least I'm honest, I don't ask bulls to buy while promising moon, on the contrary...

GBTC is such a joke It wouldn't be a joke if it would be possible to short it.

This dump triggered a bearish flip of 12h and 1d PSAR, IMO similar to the flip of the 16th July 2014.
