interesting post, i'm hoping we test 540 to see if these figures are accurate. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sherv.net%2Fcm%2Femoticons%2Fhalloween%2Fdevil.gif&t=665&c=DYbRl26haq2v8Q)

"Conclusion if we break below $550 I expect the market to get VERY fast with cascading margin calls on bfx. Admittedly we might need some FUD to get there but those price levels are at least in sight "

Bitfinex will force them to sell. As for $550 that's a technical point in the charts that we've bounced off a few times. To break that support means longs are throwing in the towel.

Too bad most of the longs were opened well under 650. Just check bfxdata. Also, BFX supposedly put in measures to prevent the cascading effect on margin calls. So if some silly bear tries it, he will end up on his ass.

So if bitfinex forces them to sell, what this means that if the price hits $540 we will then have a crash? How much volume of BTC would be force-sold at this level?

People who want to buy cheap are selling now to trigger automatic selling by stop loss orders which could run into a chain reaction resulting in really cheap coins. The current dip could be the result of a successful small attempt at this or could be motions to achieve this with a much lower goal but it would basically be run by people who would fill their positions after their financial attack succeeded or not. It's basically like real cash poker where you don't know how deep the pockets of your adversary are, so some try to bluff big time (drive the price down) and if they fail, they will have a hard time buying back in. If they win, they make a killing out of it. If you are not into that sort of games, stay out of it and wait until next week.

Dangerously close to break the 560's we are right now. Think bet on a rebound right now is really a dangerous bet. In the 550's the smallest bad move can start a cascate crash movement, it is like walking over a lake with frozen waters.

2014 is the year of bitcoin! ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Remember that? I've got to hand it to the community, you guys did put on a good PR campaign. I'm glad I sold the last of my position a few days ago. If this is the year of bitcoin, I don't want to be part of it anymore ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

At least the BTC-E/Bitstamp gap is at normal levels again($10-$15), sign we are heading back to a stable situation.

And for my last post, even bitcoin itself is telling me to go fuck myself (on the 15 minute chart). ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs30.postimg.org%2Fsx5m7015t%2Ffinger.jpg&t=665&c=OoUsTcB22HV0Mw)
