Whose got fat fingers over at finex?
WTF?
Those are arbitrage bots kicking in, not fat fingers. There's an arbitrage opportunity and they kick in with vengeance. "arbitrage" by buying coins at a ridiculous premium? |

I gotta ask... Tarmi, palms already sweaty? If your phone is ringing, you know very well who it could be: Margin.  This rise doesn't even have to be organic, the mere fact that Finex and Huobi, et al. are following, is causing some nice short squeezes, that could end very ugly for a lot of people bears. |

Someone at BTC-e is buying like crazy, and arbitragers are buying at other exchanges in order to sell at BTC-e to that desperate guy.
There are of course many possible explanations for that buying spree. One of them is: someone realized, perhaps by inside information, that he would not be able to withdraw his USD/EUR/RUB balance; so he is converting it all to BTC, as fast as he can. If that is the reason, and that hypothetical blockade affects all users, then the arbitragers will be screwed.

No, man, arbitrage by buying BTC on Finex and other exchanges, transferring to BTC-E and selling there. That's why other exchanges are "obliged" to follow this BTC-E insanity to some extent, not all the way of course because it's not easy to transfer back from BTC-E to Finex, you have to do it through LTC since there's no way to move US$ fast, which slowly eats the arbitrage opportunity and potential profits. |

Now this is good speculation. I agree this is a possible explanation for what's happening right now. |

To have a perspective... how much money are we talking about here? 50 Million? This thing is getting out of hand! |
