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

[JayJuanGee]

I hate to get you back "on topic" jbreher, but I would like to confess that I made a bit of a orderbook/laddering/incrementalism "screw up."  

I had some sell orders fill in around the $11,950 price area, so I was resetting my buy orders, and the price was around $11,867, but I was setting one of my buy orders to buy back some of my coins in the $11,200 arena, but instead of typing $11,200, I fat fingered it (typed $12,200), and I accidentally bought immediately at $11,867.  

I know it's fashionable to hate on Coinbase 'round these here parts, but Coinbase will not let you make an order that is on the wrong side of the market. Such as buys for more than market nor sells below market. Rather than rounding to market, it just refuses to book the trade. Has kept me from making similar mistakes in the past. Might be worth looking into.

Edit (21 minutes later):
Problem resolved.  Correction sell order filled.  I reset the correction sell order for $11,982-ish... because there was a little bit of a wall of coins at $11,984, so I wanted to make sure that my orders got filled, instead of getting stuck..... but either way the matter was resolved because the price went up beyond my amounts, and I was able to reset my buy orders back to the original intended amounts

Congrats.

I probably have told my coinbase woes in the past.  Anyhow coinbase was one of my first places to buy bitcoin, and surely I used their trading platform for years too.  About a year ago, those fucktwats froze my account would not really give me any explanation, so in essence I have been kicked off of their platform.  Yes, I am familiar with their fat finger protection algorithm, I had been saved by that a few times too, on that particular platform (in the past).

Is it my imagination or did I just actually read a civil exchange between yogi and JJG?

It's your imagination.

So what is this I hear about horror stories of people making a test transaction out of a large old wallet only to fat finger the unspent change into an incompatible, unspendable address type??

How can this possibly happen if you are using Core or Ledger or Trezor?

It's getting to the hardware wallet I'm worried about.

Holy fuck lol

Isn't that indicator total bs? I mean, it's futures right?  Not money being borrowed, but contracts that always have an equal amount of counterparties, if I am not mistaken.

Why btc is going vertical?
Two possibilities:

1. We don't know something important.
2. We are being played.

I worry about the second, hoping for the first.
This is not something usual.

3. It's just the baby steps and you are girly man.

Someone said it then got help to resolve it with a few steps. Non story?

Cool. I'm taking a long flight tomorrow so you've just provided my reading material.

'What is the best way to shake me out of my coins, 30% corrections (been through those last cycle, am conditioned), OR raise the price in unsustainable fashion where I am conditioned that I will be able to buy back in later after a correction?'

I keep having to leverage up to maintain my leverage ratio and moving my stop up.  This will come to an end at some point.

I like how BSV has flat-lined, and BCH has barely moved.

thanks for the advice on the miners guys.

I should prepare myself mentally for 9000, but I'm not in the mood.

The whole thing is just too fun!

Of course... of course...

Recently, I am thinking that the severity of the UP could justify a 50% or more correction.. at some point.

Of course, so many bears, no coiners, and fence sitters have been waiting for a 30% or more price correction since $4,200 on April 1,that largely has not quite materialized... so yeah, we are due, we are due... but since so many folks are increasingly waiting for such correction, it could end up not going as far down as expected.. but then again, it could end up going down 50% or more, just to attempt to take advantage of some downward momentum.. in the event it is possible to create such downward momentum, which is far from a given, too.

I don't really care either way, but since my BTC to fiat ratio still remains in about the 95% to 96% arena, I am way the fuck more rich with bitcoin prices going up (and even straight up) rather than getting some kind of "opportunity" to buy a bit more on any kind of dip that might happen, and currently, a dip has to be at least a few percentage points before any of my buy orders are even triggered, and sometimes even a bit more than 10% if I get stuck in a kind of limbo because my orders are getting further and further spread out (which is kind of part of my goal, too)....

Interestingly, GBTC premium actually decreased today to 27.8%.
again two possibilities:
1. Maybe ETF is about to be approved.
2. It predicts an incoming correction.

Hoping for #1, although IDGAF about an ETF.

totally useless tether premium report - TUTPR

now with candlesticks! everybody loves candles

Ahem...we pierced 61.8 Fib retracement, next stop 78.6%.
Not sure if to calculate from just the top ($19780) or from the prior move (1160 to 19780=18620 points).
If the latter, then it is $15795; if the former, then $15547.

Proper Fibonacci retracement levels:

Is anyone bothering to monitor a correlation with the premium? I presume it's considerably less liquid than the conventional markets so some spikes may not be all that logical.

well i think that we'll see dump action soon ... price correction have to be done !

YOU FUCK OFF !!!

we'll see )

thanks for the accurate numbers. I see that it is counted from the decline, not from the previous run-up.
yet, the numbers are similar (16.1 vs 15.8K).

I do, but very infrequently. Previously, large run-ups in GBTC premium indicated a sharp short-term btc correction, like in mid June 2016, when premium was about 100%.

Heading to 14k. Now thats too fast.

Well funding rates are through the roof.  Normally 0.01%. But who cares.

Last month we had days with around 0,2+% / 8 hours - mex MM is just super bullish lol

Correct, this indicator is wrong.

The s/l ratio on bitmex is always 1:1.
The perpetual is p2p based thus 1 long contract always has a taker with 1 short contract.


Guys lets come to some conspiracy theories of mine.

Right now i have the strong feeling that this run is based on some iluminati whales front running each other, because i do not believe in the slightest that this is induced by retail fomo.

Evidence:

1. Google Trends is just around 20% of 2017:



2. No permanent news in TV, newspaper etc about buying Bitcoin

3. 400% pump without a single big correction (maybe the 8200 to 6600, but imo it was more of a flashcrash)

4. not one of my nocoiner friends are asking me


So is this finally the one pump to end all dumps because institutional money is flowing into the ecosystem?

We need some OTC stats - whether it's booming or dried up completely.
