Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[NotLambchop]

I know how this ends, Bitcoiners...

[thresher]

Almost all volume over 5btc is fake volume, people speculating etc.  Think about it.
Ok someone may gamble $1,000 or more a day, but they are not buying that much drugs, metals, computer equipment, xbox shit, whatever on a daily basis.  
What do you think an 1k btc buy is doing?  They are going to buy $230,000 of shit from new egg, or maybe a few kilos of gold from amagi lol, oh my yet we all fall for it.

Explanation

[JorgeStolfi]

People have known the Earth was round since at least the time of ancient Greece. Eratosthenes famously calculated the circumference of the globe.

This myth apparently began in an American biography of Christopher Columbus, where the man sets sail to defend his position of a round Earth against the prevailing medieval beliefs.

Indeed, among the geographers who knew that the Earth was round, question was how wide was the ocean between West Europe and East Asia.  Columbus (and his investors) wanted to get to the latter, and believed that the distance in a due West course was much smaller than it really is.    No one (including Columbus) imagined that Atlantic and Pacific were separate oceans, with an entire continent blocking the way, almost from pole to pole.

This ongoing first stage of the stock market crash of 2015 doesn´t seem to affect BTC action noticeably so far.

Which stock market crash?

You will see  

Just like i saw the crash of the dollar in 2000 ,2001 , 2002 , 2003 , 2004 , 2005 .... 2300, 2301,2302

the difference is that now the entire world is going through mass de-dollarization.. and its picking up speed.

Because in a notice posted on Chinese media yesterday, China is now openly scrambling and on the defensive, when it comes to an ever stronger rush by the locals to get out of their own currency and into the US dollar.  As Want China Times reports, "prompted by the robust performance of the US dollar, growing numbers of Chinese are considering converting renminbi to dollar-denominated assets." It is for those "growing numbers" that China has a polite warning: "experts are advising them to think carefully before making the move."

I was not talking about the dollar.

I would not be surprised if the dollar has probably got still a ways up to go actually... makes sense, it could run up (against other currencies with their own woes)  at least until the next round of in the US QE (4)....

US stock markets though are looking choppy and toppy... and with all that is going on, figures/fed talk global pressures I would not be surprised to see something go down this year, not in the least.

Though that being said with the current global currency wars, and the bond markets I would not be surprised to see some action in the dollar either..

I suspect though that the stock market and housing will probably take a hit first though, (followed by QE4?)

We shall see.

but since euro zone is killing himself and euro is losing value to USD, what will replace USD?

Rubles? CHinese money? bitcoins?

A basket of currencies, maybe including the euro in some incarnation and some of the BRIC nations including a free floating yuan partially backed by gold?

That is correct.... and are there any market watchers that have been around for a few decades that has a good reason to not wait for the next crash, in a cyclical stock market? Is there any reason that there should be an infinite bull run? are there any outside reasons, in this global system we have that there could be external pressures, and internal pressures that could cause the next (inevitable) stock market crash/bear market/financial crisis?

Guess not.

(besides, before we think about the next financial crisis, how about we get through the one we are already in, the one in which, apart from anything else, the bull run in US stocks makes no sense....unless of course QE 1-3)

I am not arguing that it won't happen , but like the original post said ...2015?
I see no reason for this year to be the one of the crash and the ones saying preaching about  it are the same that said 2014 2013 and 2012 before with the same arguments.

[damiano]

We are getting downward  movement on LTC/BTC may be a little early if we break 0.0083 then we will get a BTC/USD rise.

SO pay attention to that volume.

Everyday the Chinese pick a new trading range and today looks like 228-238.  I think it's pretty clear they don't want to fuck with the wall at 222-220 as of yet

For sure, you cannot call it for a certainty, and I have not got a magical crystal ball, however there is in my opinion a building confluence of exacerbating factors. Spinning plates... and some of them have already started to wobble and they need spinning soon, or else they are gonna drop.  I am curious to see how the US market reacts going forward without stimulus, and if the situation deteriorates (almost as per plan) if this year QE4 is eventually rolled out. Also curious to see if the managed yuan peg gets dropped this year. Either way it has already been an interesting start to the year with lots going on globally, and I expect more volatility in the markets and some more interesting events, I do not think 2015 is going to be a boring year regardless.

I have noticed too. In fact, nothing in the real world seems to be relevant to bitcoin price. I think the large volume is from trading back and forth, not affecting the price too much. The real market, for people permanently changing their assessment of bitcoin, is small. A few holders sell out, or a few minimalistic newbies decide to save a significant value in bitcoin, that can change the market, unpredictably.
