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

IMO we are a couple of months away from the bottom, we will still trade side ways but the big picture (1w MACD confirms that) is telling me that we are just not there and it will take some time.


I hope I am right, because I took the aggressive way of trading by going all out... and I have no open bids yet, I have no idea where I will put my bids but I will decide later when the picture is clearer.

Chinese are actively buying right now, weird, I would have e expected a little weaker rebound

[njcarlos]

^^ Heart bleeds for this guy right here.. sold at around 500

That's why he's playing with $30k and you're probably playing with <$5k. Foresight. And by foresight I mean more than 2 hours.

dont go in denial mode, 497 was the bottom, the chinese know it.

Final capitulations are the sweetest buying opportunities. You would probably never have heard of me, unless I happened to analyze the fundamentals and charts for month, before buying in at the final capitulation of 2011.

The more ppl speak like you (and the less they speak like me  ) the better, because that much closer to the bottom we are.

But real tough guys can make the decision without sentiment analysis as well as with it. I hardly knew about the forums back then, even my account is from 2012.

It is the new money that will raise the price to new levels. They are still waiting. What can you do but wait? Next room to me now, there is a guy who takes jacuzzi every day and smokes cigars. He held through the bubble, and the fall, and the capitulation (of 2011) and ever since. His friends sold out in the downtrend and said they will come back if/when the tide turns. They never did. They are probably working now.

Bitcoin does not care if you make money or not. Also I don't care. I know there are enough people in the world who understand reasonable speech, and gravitate into Bitcoin in waves. And if bitcoin is foiled, now we have Monero, so there is a real backup, vainly sought after for 2-3 years.

The waiters came to ask what I want for breakfast, and roasted liver with red wine sounded like nice. Thank you for listening.

I like what you did there, pouring oil on fire  

I beg to disagree Casually dropping some info about your at-noon breakfast of roasted liver with wine, in the middle of a capitulation that'll cost quite a few investors dearly, is the real oil-on-fire. Which is why I got the Marie Antoinette association.

Yep.. I noticed that too... Risto can be a little bit pompously irritating from time to time - even if he may be dropping some otherwise decent data and/or historical perspective.

I think its your position talking. If i were you i would spread your bids better, instead of "waiting till its confirmed train, then buyback"

Oh please. Do you know how many people he's hurt with his "decent data and/or historical perspective?" You do know he thought BTC would be at $10k back in late 2011/early 2012 right? And was actively promoting such stupidity?

[keithers]

Small little rebound going now.   Just need to build some momentum and get this thing going again...  Too much negativity going on right now...

which fits my theory better...

Your "theory", if you have such, is merely spouting off a bunch of self-aggrandizing non-sense.

no, I think he is right (this time). we only breached 500, the bottom is yet to be found.

this is a rebound, nothing else.

I think Risto's point is that we can all "eat cake" too is we just hold and don't panic (or buy during this great opportunities to do so if possible).

Maybe I am strange but I find his words quite comforting.  To be able to drink a glass of wine with no worries to what Bitcoin is doing at the present impressive, especially when it is so easy to get emotional about it.  But I am admittedly a huge fan of Risto.  Of all the people on the thread he has been the most helpful to me, and generous too.

[JayJuanGee]

some support here

perhaps 500 will hold?

I doubt that, it's being tested right now and bids are being pulled. And now it's broken...

Notice how the largest sells come in right at the 501 threshold.  But what am I saying, there couldn't possibly be manipulation going on.  Nooooo, not at all.  Nope.  None. At. All.  

STOP providing facts!!!!      Anti-manipulator theorists want to maintain their own reality.. so stop interfering with that... You YOU YOu ... manipulator.

I didnt say that the bottom is in, i just dont think its "months away".

Your assumption that I am 'playing' with <$5k is miss guided - I don't feel the need to post how much I invest in crypto - To me it is also a lot more than a tool to get rich quick.

Yes, no sign of bottom yet, this time we crashed below the 540 too quick and now not easy to find bottom.
We just have to wait some days then will see how market act around bottom.

To be fair, a lot of people missed the last bottom (judging by the posts anyway), "not being convinced",

But my personal bet is 440-460$ this time

[JorgeStolfi]

So insiders dumped XRP for Bitcoin which ignited a bullrun in May...?

Maybe, or bought bitcoin with the intention of using them to buy Jed's XRP, expecting a surge in the BTC price for that.  But the only argument for that explanation is the rough coincidence of the two dates.

Keep in mind, the "real" bottom is always a good bit HIGHER than what the bears think is the bottom or have in their minds.  After the last capitulation and leveling to $420, many bears and sideline watchers got caught with their pants down.  Because they were not convinced and kept saying "$200-250 bottom is a sure thing."  

[JayJuanGee]

We reached the bottom. I'm back in. Thanks for playing.

What a jerk!  NOT b/c you traded but b/c you engaged in deceptive tactics...
