Instant crash in price, why?
Anything from Greece, or from the chinese? Or something else?
Or just a micro mr102?
Just a big dump. Good morning  |

SOMEONE SOLD EVERY BITCOIN ON BTC-E
Yet it's barely caused a ripple in the price. $279 on Stamp right now as I type this. I think we'll be stick in the 270-300 range for a few weeks now. I see no reason for significant movement either way unless somebody starts manipulating of course. |

I wonder what it is about that place that produces the freakiest behaviour. Maybe everyone on there is under 12 because they can't open accounts anywhere else. |

Great Flashcrash. Now we're ready to rocketlaunch. I compare this move to the one on 30-09-2013. We'll see if it makes any sense |

if even half of that sell order was at/below 200 it's an equivalent loss to doing this like 5 times with no insurance  wonder if they'll just get fired or whacked ? (or it's an individual that will retire never to look back, hopefully, for their sake) |

Nothing new here... BTC-E has those spikes (up/down) before... Don't think there will be another spike, because btc-e team will prevent it. Give it an hour and the price will be back at 280$.  Only an hour ? I don't think 1 hour is enough ... maybe 2-3 hours (who knows, it is only speculation). |

(or it's an individual that will retire never to look back, hopefully, for their sake) I don't understand how someone could crash this car 5 times like that. It's supposed to be broken after the first. |

BTC-E allows leverage, and this means that:
- some people have used it to go long
- they can be wiped out by forcing the price down to trigger automatic margin call
- some (other) people have access to the information on the margin call limits, either accurately or by deduction
- selling as much as to trigger the cascade, and then buying them back cheaper from the cascade, is called $$$ (profit)
- no real BTC need to be involved at all, because the operation happens completely in the exchange internal system

Wow. That's diabolical. Guess u always should set a stop loss for margin trades. |
