It will be interesting to see, I sold my bitcoins weeks ago in anticipation of a big price fall. I am surprised the price is holding up, but it seems to get weaker and weaker.
As per the theme of this thread. A lot of people are looking at the market action and get the feeling that powerful hands are trying to hold Bitcoin in place. I would be one of those who subscribe to this view. Under normal market conditions, they have been succeeding, however along comes another whale and drops 2000 BTC all at once. And this keeps happening. Just when we get to a wall that seems like it should prove a major support level, along comes another whale and drops a big pile of BTC into it. Yes, there are those whale entities in whose interests it was to stabilise Bitcoin within a certain price range (the higher the better I would imagine), but there are also whale entities who want to see the price go much lower. These aren't just cash-ins or panic sell offs we are seeing. These are well timed mass sell-offs, designed to negatively twist market sentiment at key points in the chart development Right now, we have a very large buy-in wall at $725. In a truly 'free market' situation, this would be such an obvious buy-in opportunity, but I am not buying in as I fear that there might be another Behemoth sitting at his PC ready to dump another 500 BTC or whatever and send Bitcoin crashing further. Going by the ultra low 'recovery' volume we have seen so far, it seems I am far from the only one who feels this way. If anyone wants to call this market action 'free market', then I would hate to hear their definition of a cornered manipulated market. do you even know what QE is?

that my friends is the Canadian equivalent of Willy... hahahahaaa
This slicing of orders is common. Here is my understanding of why people do that: If you post a single bid for 21 BTC @ 800, some other jerk may post his bid for 21 BTC @ 800.01, then you will not get anything until hs bid is filled. If you spread your bid into 21 bids of 1 BTC @ 790, 791, 792, ..., 800, 801, ..., 809, 810, you will ultimately pay the same amount, but now the jerk cannot get ahead of you by bidding just one penny more. If he posts 21 @ 810.01 he will lose a lot of money, if he post 21 @ 800.01 you will gobble up 10 BTC before he gets anything, if he splits his order too at 790.01, 791.01, etc. you both will get served together. So, splitting seems to be a better strategy than lumping, very roughly speaking. Does this make sense? Thanks. Yes it does make sense, and never thought of that before. i place tiny orders like that too. my idea is to provide support or resistance and when they fill i have plenty of ammo left to place more support or resistance. you don't want to convince yourself that its going up or down and blow your load all at once only to see the market move 5% higher or lower, and feel sad for missing an opportunity plus this way I get to place orders all day long, and thats tons of fun.
