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

[Chainsaw]

I just realized there's a new, interesting dynamic in play.

With China losing their leverage, Bitfinex has regained a large attractor.

All other things being equal, I take their chances of reclaiming the role of price leader as net positive.  I wonder how the competing interests of reduced-faith in Bitfinex from the recent hack will fare against the increased greed/strength of leverage.  (Incidentally, I think it'd be a really smart move for them to publicly pay down some of their remaining debt.)

Smarter traders than me keep track of things like available money for loans, short vs long interest, borrowing rates.  Whatever those (leading?) indicators mean, I'd bet they become increasingly valuable.

If Chinese were actually SHORT BTC perhaps there is a "short squeeze" occurring!? 

The "short squeeze" and its outcome is what we are witnessing now http://zentrade.online/bitcoinusd-price-action-analysis-bitmex-perpetual-swap-xbtusd-update-20170117/

Of course BTC goes up $13.00 now after I sell some coin for the electric bill 1 hour ago! Its a budget thing lol, couldn't wait any longer

But still happy to see the rise

Look at the tight arbitradge now between West and East.

Barely a dollar in it.

Also, Hobular volume is about an eighth of what it was.

Is that the effect of banning margin trading ?

We're back at December 23rd prices.

Same thing happened here but i was trying to hedge my earning on that rise.

Made my place so I get to sit on the sidelines for a bit.

[roony]

And 900  I m predictin that it will reach 1100 in just 1 week

[boyshx]

it will reach the 1100 again very soon, the question is if it's going to hold this time, I think it's likely to fall a little bit once it hits 1166 again lol

4 digits looks so much prettier. I am looking forward to that. 3 digits is ugly.

And soon 4 digits will look ugly and 5 digits will look prettier

It could continue up to the MtGox ATH of $1242 this time. IMO that's the next resistance. If it breaks through that $2000 should be broken through soon afterwards.
