Wow. Someone slammed on that market buy button pretty hard.
I like to imagine a panicked, anxious trader... finally capitulating and deciding to sell all of his remaining bitcoins... so that he can pay off some accumulating debts. However, in his state of clouded judgement and jitters, he hits "market buy" instead of "market sell" and all of his remaining fiat get turned into bitcoins. Since there was no wall to buy into, the price jumps by $10... and some speculators posts on forums about a huge buy order. "Buy order?" "Buying?" "Buy" "BUY" "BUY!!!!" "CCMF WE"RE GOING TO THE MOON" they post. An enormous rally begins. The previously panicked trader, realizing what happened, decides to capitalize on the moment the only way he knows how. He logs into Bitcointalk.org and posts, "I totally called the bottom." |

I think you guys sometimes forget people do actually want to buy bitcoins, it's not just traders. There's not always a motive apart from simply buying.

Maybe his Monday Fiat arrived.
Don't underestimate the most bullish day of the week: So what could happen Monday? Probability could give us a hint in addition to price action.
I have had debates with Bitcoin traders about trading on weekends. One postulated that because Bitcoin is the only financial instrument whose exchanges are open seven days per week that price should go up the most over the weekend with high volume. Another observed Sunday there is a steady rise before the Monday/Tuesday pumps before a Thursday/Friday selloff. The former is a logical anecdote; more hobby traders participating on the weekend because they have more time. The latter is a good observation.
But are these ideas profitably tradeable? Do the statistics agree and knowing them could we better time our entries and exits?
I broke down the data for BitStamp just using Daily Open versus Close. Basically; was the day UP or Down? To capture the data with the best relevance I used all days from 1/1/2013 onward. So what was the probability for each day of the week to close UP?
Saturday: 47%
Sunday: 70%
Monday: 74%
Tuesday: 66%
Wednesday: 68%
Thursday: 55%
Friday: 57%
When you consider that during this time Bitcoin has risen +6100% the probability is skewed to the upside. That means that even though Sunday and Monday seem to be the best days to go bullish is it wise to just GO on that day? Probably not; unless the charts back it up. What does stand out when considering the bias is the one day that fails to even break 50/50; Saturday.

Like a thousand+ coins in a single buy? Hmmm |

the only motive for buying bitcoin is selling them as long as you still could possibly get cash at an exchange...  |

There must be news somewhere. Either that or gigantic pump.

Really? You're theorizing there's "big news" just because of a 1500btc wall? What kind of logic is that? It's just one guy's order, and the volume today is 7000btc. By the way 1500btc is nothing. When we came out of the bear market in 2013, there were two 10,000btc walls on the order book at the same time pushing the price up and buying all the dumps. There was also volume. |

Price was also 20x lower?? Can't really compere this. The price doesn't matter. the USD volume doesn't matter. The BTC volume is what moves the market, because there are always the same amount of BTC, so it is the same ratio. Required btc volume might decrease a LITTLE over time due to hoarding, but not in ratio with price. Not 20 times. |

The UK news is pretty huge http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zcvxd/britain_to_scrap_bitcoin_tax/This is a green light to lots of cautious investors at a time when the price is relatively low. London is a major financial centre and their favourable approach will be very encouraging. There's a lot of fiat waiting to buy. Nobody wants to miss the train. |
