Do I have this right?..
Bull Trap: price starts to rise quickly causing ppl to panic buy then shortly after the price dips much lower. They get trapped with the higher price btc instead of buying it on the dip

So are we getting ready to break the downtrend? Or is this overoptimism leading into more downside?
It feels like the market is at a crossroads now.
Reasons that it continues down are:
A. More bad news from China - like banning CYN withdrawals after a certain prescribed date.
B. Dumping on China once people there realize their are no more options
C. Arbitraging or dumping on other exchanges causing leveraged positions to sell as well
D. Bad news outside of China
Reasons that it continues up:
A. No more bad news out of China. Worst is behind us. Chinese that are holding are going to continue to hold.
B. New fiat to exchanges this week as prices are lower.
C. Bid sums rising
D. More good news like Overstock.com, etc.
E. Still in uptrend, overall mood is positive.
It seems about a 50/50% call to me at this point.

Yep. There is also a bear trap: people sell a lot of btc quickly and then begin buying at the low en masse. |

The local spike closed before the news came out.
And this rally is still being led by btcchina. That should tell you enough.

Yep. There is also a bear trap: people sell a lot of btc quickly and then begin buying at the low en masse. Thanks. Learning as I go. Just to verify the bear trap: they panic sell thinking it's going to go down and then it rises? so basically just opposites |

True but we were forming a pennant. Could it have broken up without the news? |

sit tight kids
chances are you will get your strike price
nothing guarantees a loss...like an actual, actualized loss
panic moves are the grist of the whales

One might argue we are no longer overbought. I'm looking at these two blue boxes and they're the same pattern and we're on a downtrend. so would you continue to read it as it will continue to dip and follow trend/pattern? |
