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.

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

its not one person. 

answer:  they wouldn't.  it would be a loss.

yeah and someone stepped in front of $4.6 with 21K btc's @ $4.61

no bed fo u!

$306K @ $4.60?

lollollol

someone really wants in.

actually, this new money makes sense and all with that idiot Ben muttering about more "accommodation" this morning.

lol, its called torture.

perfect time to make a move.  all the wild speculators are gone.

it will.  soon it'll start chasing the price up.

hey man, congrats on becoming a Moderator.  since when?

there we go.  shorts beginning to cover...

just a matter of time now before price starts rising.

this is very good.  don't forget; $4 is the new $2.
