I think that is how bitcoin works. It moves the direction of most pain.

So for halloween do you think that the price of bitcoin will raise over $ 400? I hope this it will happen  .

Wow, shorts have gone insane shorting on the way up:

Total sum of active swaps
16,281.89 BTC

Good strategy! Keep shorting into the uptrend!

Do you say the long term trend just turned around again? How many times did it turn around this month? I lost the count.

Did you know that there can be trends on multiple timeframes?

Only thing I'm relatively sure about is that it will be difficult to take out the 275 low given the circumstances how it happened. Extreme volume not seen in half a year, and a large candle wick. People shorting now must be ultra alert to cut their loose at the first indication things aren't going in favor of them.

But still. If the yearly trend is sharply negative then you have better chances by opening short positions during daily mini-pumps than opening long positions, well, like ever but definitely when those mini-pumps are already in effect.

I forgot that I talked about this before ~12h ago, with you. Did you forget too?

Short squeeze soon at Bitfinex as the price is nearing the ask wall of that ~2k BTC short. Actually, I'm not sure it's even there anymore. Cancelled?

Shorts increased another 2k or so: 13,458.12 BTC

Great strategy, guys! Short on the way up!

What else are you supposed to do? Buy at the top and sell at the bottom? That's a nice strategy for sure. You can't really get anything wrong, you just do what everybody else seems to be doing at the time.

When price moves against you, you normally cut your loose, not average your loose down (or up, in this case). The way to trade is PRO trend.

This doesn't apply to special circumstances with extreme spikes on high volume.

"We're in a upwards trend. It doesn't matter that selling pressure exceeds buying pressure and the price is going down. The market and the price are just too stupid to realize that we're in a trend reversal!"

"We're in a downwards trend. It doesn't matter that buying pressure exceeded 30k BTC of selling pressure at 300 and the price is going up. The market and the price are just too stupid to realize that we're not in a trend reversal!"

 

It really is funny. I've been insulted/made fun of for my bearishness since the bubble popped at the end of 2013. Being bearish used to be the contrarian position. Nowadays, being bullish is the contrarian play, just look how people will continuously attack you for stating relatively reasonable positions (that the conditions under which 275 has happened may not repeat again).

Blitz, I like your calmness.

Blitz, charts don't tend to agree with you... so I think we are still going down, we go up $10 and you all get excited and start posting train pictures, then we go $20 down and you start trashing bears....same is  happening since $417 (the top since the $275).

When the price is slowly going down with low volume, and then out of nowhere, someone spikes the volume with a 30k purchase, after what there will be a short rally upwards, and then again the slow downfall will continue. Then let's just say, that I'm not overly optimistic about the situation.
If I would be someone who owns several hundred thousand bitcoins, and several million dollars, then I would put up a sell wall like that, so I could buy it myself, and by that, try to stimulate the market just enough to get the value of my coins to rise again. I would be disappointed though, if it wouldn't cause a rise that could be considered very high and soon the situation would be like it was before my little shenanigan.

Bulls are far from being the minority here. They are still the strong majority, with those who have bought at 800$+ are only now getting some doubt next to their highly optimistic hopes. Repeating rants about bitcoin being a scam and how bitcoin stole all of their life savings have yet to come.

Bitcoin will be dead till the end of this year. One must be  blind and stupid to not see, that bitcoin  is constantly going down. There are some  pums on the way, but overall BTC is dead.

You can still use it for your cheap speculation, but BTC will never be a free and  easy paying system.

mmitech, I'm pretty sure you were one of the bulls who ridiculed me when I was bearish this year before you switched gears at 600, and now I think you're risking (well, it's not really a risk if you don't engage in shorting) getting stuck in the polar opposite. 

we go up $10 and you all get excited and start posting train pictures, then we go $20 down and you start trashing bears....same is  happening since $417 (the top since the $275).

Yeah right, I am the one trashing people. It's actually you who has been doing that for a long while, and it's pathetic. "Da beaaaars", "da buuuuuuulls", what's up, are you lacking some sense of identification/belonging?

And I've never posted any stupid trains either, but apparently you know all about me.

I've been around since last Nov. and I've never been offended by the way you share your opinion Blitz...mmitech however is on ignore...and reminds me of a tabloid front page.

massive insider knowledge?

I do not understand the latest downtrend from ~480$ to now - all trends before were information driven. this stuff looks suspicious.
