6h and 4h StochRSI looks bad, altho not sure how good is it for predicting the future i'm not sure either. they look bad because what just happened was bad. there was prior warning though.

Anyone knows about that new china taobao crypto ban? Could it be the cause?
no. guys... this is what happens when we go parabolic above a trendline after a bubble. the same thing happened in April-May. i hope all of the newer traders who were confused as to why i was unsettled by this weekends rally, and the multiple warnings of "we'll pay for this later" understand now. we will pay ?? to hell with that, it is great show, popcorn ready +1 haha you're obviously not a merchant trying to actually use bitcoin as a currency, or anything like that like i said, sometimes i believe the crap about speculators being good for a market, but then again this bullshit happens with frightening regularity... I've been wondering about this. It's not the conventional wisdom, but (absent constantly-updating LED price stickers or some unsettling thing like that) is it not possible, if you are a merchant, or a user, trading for goods that are fairly normal (bread, eggs, milk, detergent, etc.) to just kinda price things at the trendline, and not give a shit about the instantaneous cost? Basically, price things in BTC, along a trend. So, for me, with my analysis, despite all this, let's say we plot with a trend using a weighting system that accounts for good and bad news, weekend movements, etc. for maybe a 9-day weighting period. So, maybe the present FMV of 1.0 BTC is just $900. So, price everything accordingly and don't care about the movement. Even in USD, gasoline fluctates about almost as much as BTC does. You just don't have people waiting to buy gas for the right rate, or rates flipping around on the signs several times per second. I feel like it is possible.

Arepo can I ask in all seriousness... do you have a technical term for this kind of pattern? it is sinusoidal. not necessary a technical name from the trading world, but it can be modeled with the sine function. why do you ask? it is rather pretty isn't it?

I would call it the bitch-slap pattern. Whipsaw.

6h and 4h StochRSI looks bad, altho not sure how good is it for predicting the future No, it Looks good.Because we are oversold now and buying should beginn not after all of that time spent in the overbought zone. we'll likely "double-dip". generally speaking, a crossover of the midline is also an important signal for oscillators.

Sorta. It's a modified sine. It follows the look of a capacitor's voltage charging and discharging about a mean. The direction of the exponential portion tells you where the mean is located, by current market consensus. The market seeks that consensus. But then there are external factors as well.

There was also this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=397534.01. So far we have popped up as stated would happen. 2. And we have come back down to around the green line as stated would happen. 3. Now I believe we will ride just above the green line following its trend but likely pop up again in the days to come.

I strongly suspect that at least 5000 BTC/day of MtGox volume is fake (the ping-pong I mentioned earlier). Then there are spurts of higher volume when the price is changing fast, obviously due to speculation.
The non-speculative (commercial) trade seems to be less than 5000 BTC/day. How much less?

I don't do this very often, but this time I actually sold 10% of my stash at $890 on Stamp. Take this as a warning from a superstrong hand.

I hope you don't mind my asking, but I've seen you make a dozen posts about this. I'm interested to know, do you own any BTC or are you waiting to buy, or neither?

Is this the bottom or we just stopping to let some ppl off before we continue down? The charts indicate still going down, am I reading that right?

I think he might be saying he panicked? 10% is not panicking in my book, when I panic I go 100% idiot mode Not panicking today though, today is all remarkably predictable with a few trend lines.

I think so too (minus the jiggery pokery with the sell walls) that's why I put a question mark against "panicked?"

I wasnt even watching gox during the peak of the drop. And was kinda surprised that it went down to only 950-960'ish? While btc-e went to 827. So either btc-e overpanicked, or Gox didnt react at all.
