Recovery from the weekend dump

It was a surge in volume but not really price although it did have the price lead over all the USD site which is very unusual as it is usually trailing behind isn't it. Still going strong though i am going to head over to the troll box sure we will get some crazy answers over there.

A few days ago, BTC-e price were higher than Bitstamp price. Haven't seen these before. Probably, they got more traders?

Someone slipped on their keyboard and bought up 10,000 BTC up to $270, everyone elses bots saw these and their rules triggered.

First and second bumps were profit, then everything following that was tremendous loss for those who bought in @240 thinking it was going up?

Expect very depressed rates as an incoming correction. (IMO)
Everyone who purchased is likely going to dump as it goes lower and lower.
The person who's hand slipped and purchased 10,000 BTC is going to have to dump it or lose it.

Expect a bum rush to 190 or 150 as a consequence.

I think it's not surprisingly of increasing $20, drive through the market price, it have to come back, like tendency in btc-e.

and could you enlarge the screenshot of BTC-E as Bitfinex?

BTC-e price is higher than Bitstamp.

The image got shrinked due to cell issue.

btc-e is the highest price, because the price fell too fast now,

btc-e' price is the bottom and bitstamp' price is the top, that's said watch bitstamp when the price up, watch btc-e when the price down

Probably just a whale or bot that bought a lot to start a trend. IF you look now its back down to where it was.

Someone with "fat fingers" probably, not the first time it happens. Probably not the last time either

Admin said in chat that they tested adding some high volume brokers to the exchange.  Or something like that.
