wonkytonky is right. This is a very bullish formation.
It is targeting a run up to $170...

Some panicing fool wants to be the first one to sell and hopefully incite mass panic. I hope they fail miserably and lose coins..

Someone decided to a dump a lot of coins. Pretty dumb move. Could've put a wall at $129 and had it bought up in a few minutes

Can someone explain why dump 4500K BTC on the market with such slippage. Are there not trading programs that will slice the order up into smaller, random appearing pieces and consume tasty bids from time to time until the whole order is filled? One could do that manually too.

The slippage is not that great, consider what we had been having.

You're expecting rational action from traders... oh wait Wink

Yeah price has been quite calm as far as things in Bitcoin are concerned.  Hopefully a rally this week again?

It could be a well-intentioned early adopter trying to cool things down.
Rather than pushing the price down which could trigger panic sell followed by panic buy and random ass shit and lag, it would have been much smarter (and much more profitable) to just put the goddamn order at $129.99 or something and keep the price, you know, stable???

I don't think it was someone wanting to push the price down.   If they were, they would not have limited at $125, they would have just continued to sell down instead of leaving the last few hundred coins sit as a mini wall.   I think someone wanted minimum $125 for their 5k coins, and saw an opportunity.

Actually, a 5k wall would have possibly a more destabilizing effect . . .  As you can see a few minutes later, there was virtually no effect.

Yes. Oftentimes, when it's apparent that we're heading up, large walls are eaten up in one single buy. This is usually followed by more panic buying.

What?
Imagine if an equally sized single 5k buy were put in now. It would have just as big of a destabilizing effect, if not much more, than if the 5k wall would have been up. The 5k wall would have added to the current 5k wall to form a 10k wall. If a 10k buy order was put in right now, it would still eat away that wall, and take us flying to $132 in one fell swoop causing another huge panic buy with no wall of any measurable amount until $140. With the 10k wall up, the price would have been much more stable and while the wall still would have been eaten, it wouldn't be such a huge gain in a matter of seconds so the panic buys would be reduced by a ton.

Market orders by definition ALWAYS reduce market stability while limit orders always increase it. Why? Because market = reducing market depth, while limit = increasing market depth. Market depth == good & stable.

No its not. Add the asks cumulatively from current price up to $130. It only looks bigger because people are moving their lower asks up to $130 which then requires a larger $ sum to overcome.
