Well it seems that the predicted triangle is broken?

There was no triangle.

700 was support only at bitfinex where there it is already over 700 - so it is not resistance any more.

Hidden bull divs on many indicators. Probably needs some time to reload and spring back.

How is a 30 degree upward slope for the past 1.25 years irrational?


Do you know that degrees are meaningless on charts where the x axis is incommensurable with the y axis?

On the other hand remember that the markets can be irrational longer then you can stay solvent and that this irrationality happens in both ways.

I tend to follow the advice from Soros - "When I see a bubble forming I rush in to buy, adding fuel to the fire. That is not irrational."
186  Economy / Speculation / Re: Analysis on: October 08, 2016, 06:08:48 AM

the next bubble could be very high, the problem is the next bubble wil never come if we keep going on like this.

the blocksize debate that has been going on for so long and still is not resolved, and the centralization and censorship are slowly killing bitcoin, and people are moving on to altcoins because bitcoin just does not support increased capacity at the moment.

the price won't magically rise without the transaction volume also rising.

limit the transaction volume, limit the price and limit the amount of users. the remaining users will flee.

It is also possible that some alt will take over. The more privacy oriented coins are just better than BTC - there is no feature that bitcoin has and they cannot, but they are better in privacy.

redeemable by the exchange or convertible to shares in iFinex - places them somewhere between a bond and a security and makes it highly likely that issuing them and trading them would require licenses in the U.S. that Bitfinex doesn't have.

That is why US residents cannot trade it.
188  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is happening? on: July 13, 2016, 10:14:30 AM
Everyone was expecting a very high price increase during the block halving period. But nothing happened, the price left hanging at the same price range. What happened, are you expectin that it will maybe rise soon?

The record amount of shorts on the halving day on bitfinex is an evidence to the contrary. Longs are also high - but now slightly below the level it had 2 weeks ago.

The fraud reduction part is comical for anyone remembering the bitcoin record in this area.
190  Economy / Speculation / Re: So what's your game plan for this year's halving? on: June 28, 2016, 02:33:38 PM
My plan is to short shortly after halving - when people don't see the price increases they expected.
191  Economy / Speculation / Re: Incoming third bubble..? on: June 28, 2016, 07:04:26 AM

I think this is spot on. But we'll need to wait a bit longer than this December.

In the MtGox chart the pre-bubble pad to the $15 peak is 273 days and then the part that you don't show from the $15 peak to the bubble start is another 137 (to 1.01.2013 - the price then was still about $13.5 and it was about to start bubbling up). The downslide is 133 days - so it is about three times less.

Now the downslide was 413 days (to 14.01.2015 the bitstamp lowest point) or 629 (18.08.2015 - the bitfinex lowest point).

So if we want to have the same proportions the next bubble should start either

about 1200 days after 14.01.2015 - that is May 2018
or
about 1900 days after 18.08.2015 - that is October 2020

Wow that was surprising even for me how far away it gets.
192  Economy / Speculation / Re: Incoming third bubble..? on: June 28, 2016, 06:23:31 AM
I am hoping over 800$ within few weeks before halving and if this third one became strong and price become stable at over 800, $1k will not be hard to reach.

It's hard to say/predict. From what I have learned bitcoin is not to be analyzed like traditional charts.
Technical analysis seems close to impossible with bitcoin.

That is the opposite of what I experience. I would never try to TA traditional stocks - their charts look so random - while in bitcoin the TA rules more or less work (stuff like parts of EW, divergencies, trend lines, etc).

Pump and dump my boy, pump and dump.
194  Economy / Speculation / Re: Halvening 99% ready, rocket only 2 weeks to go before moon launch!! on: June 26, 2016, 03:56:37 PM
even prices a bit down currently i won't worry about that i guess it's time to buy more and the fuel almost fully charged before rocket launch with 2 weeks remaining we will going to the moon together we all should be get ready

The more I read posts like this the more convinced I am that there will be a correction after halving.  The supply reduction will not play out immediately and when everyone is loaded to the max and the price starts to slowly slide down the result is a crash.
195  Economy / Speculation / Re: Halvening 99% ready, rocket only 2 weeks to go before moon launch!! on: June 26, 2016, 02:13:37 PM
If we are not rallying into the halving - then those who hold because of halving will start selling a few days after it and we'll have a bigger correction.
196  Economy / Speculation / Re: is it time to sell? on: June 26, 2016, 11:35:34 AM


Looks like the neck is being broken in this Head and Shoulder. Target about 580.
197  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this a joke? Shorter with infinite money on Bitfinex? on: June 23, 2016, 02:37:54 PM


To see it in more details (for example there are only 17.5K BTC swaps - not 20K as the long term picture above suggests) - see a shorter term chart at:

https://bfxdata.com/combined/btc

The total amount of shorts is about 17.5K - this is far from the peak which was about 34 a year and a half ago. It has also decreased from 19K a few hours ago, some shorters have already taken their profits.  You must have caught a very not representative moment with your picture.

It is the longs that are crazy - and they have not decreased on that drop - I guess we'll need another one for that.

The more I think about it the more bearish it seems.

That wall of text story at http://www.lrb.co.uk/v38/n13/andrew-ohagan/the-satoshi-affair does not make much sense for me.
