Crazy wall action back on Finex.
Either someone desperate to cash out profits or trying to manipulate the market. Or trying to time the bottom.

How low do you guys think stamp would follow Huobi? I would speculate after about 350 people might stop.
hell, virtex is still trading at 525-500.. and I'm thinking about cancelling a bid at 300 to put one in at 505..... scary

No there is someone putting limit orders well above the lowest selling price. The walls eats all the lowest asks until it has been filled.

Its even worse on Finex. I'd love to have someone explain to me what those guys are doing there. They put up a wall a little of it gets eaten and they take it down. Its almost like its timed. Like its a bot doing it. In fact, I think I just answered my own question while typing this. I think there is a bot doing timed walls. As weird as that sounds.

Who ever is doing it at Bitstamp wants to buy. Look at the amount of shorts on Finex, around the highest amount we ever have had at these price levels: http://charts-bfxdata.rhcloud.com/bitfinexLiquidityBTC.phpA short squeeze could be comming up if prices doesn't go down soon.

There aren't many shorts. If you take the difference between what I shorted today and what was short yesterday, there is about 200 btc in additional shorts. Meanwhile, there are A LOT more longs on margin than shorts. And its more expensive too. I can basically short for free.

There are no bids on Houbi ladies and gentleman.
This is a problem.
It looking more and more like a major decoupling of exchanges is coming soon ala Gox redux.
I understand that withdrawing BTC from Huobi and such is still possible? If so, I do not believe we can have Gox-style decoupling - arbitrage, a.k.a. dumping Chinese coins on Bitsamp and such is still possible. It was complete inability to withdraw anything from Gox that coused its prices to decouple.

But the price keep falling I think leveraged longs may be squeezed soon, depending on their entry point.

Btw, being leveraged long now puzzles me

That may be one reason why Chinese bears are dumping now - perhaps hoping to buy back at much lower price? EDIT: anyway, for transaction to occur, we need a buyer - and CNY on Huobi . So far the volume there is still nominally high, if true.

Now they have to make a decision: lose a bit of money and close their position, or lose a LOT of money.

I wouldn't short if they paid me. I'm not a huge fan of leveraged long either though.

I'm not seeing dumping on huobi. Volume is low and nobody seems willing to sell below 2740 any more.

Now they have to make a decision: lose a bit of money and close their position, or lose a LOT of money. As always the smart people are holding. Keep in mind easily 95% of these traders end up losing money. Holders, unless Bitcoin dies out, keep their money and will make profit eventually. Depending where you bought in.
