an interesting fact
in the last few days:
longs are down ~38.4% short are up ~43.7% price has dropped ~18%
so if longs are down and short are up , who the fuck is buying all the coins?
Willy 2.0 This really does seem like a bot rally being used to bleed hogs out of a little more money before a retest. That said, it did calm the market. I imagine we'll retest around 440 but we won't break it, we'll then go sideways around 460-480 for a few days as everybody will be more skeptical about there really being a rally if they got burnt again... and then we ride up with people getting on the train late. BUT, right now, they are screwing trend hunters, both short and long, on the Altcoin scene... guys who figured that if Bitcoin goes up then the altcoin will go up times 5 or 6. Hogs got hoggy. I might be super wrong, though. I do that from time to time.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Coinbase now buys from BTCChina, instead of Stamp.
That would make a lot of sense.

It's hilarious really. Folks are borrowing Bitcoins to sell (short) to holders, who are taking them off-exchange into cold storage. It will be hard to find cheap Bitcoins when the shorts have to cover.
Volume is really to thin to be sanely trading leveraged to any serious degree.

14th August shorts were 2,766 now they are 7,050 thats an increase of 154.88%
Yup. I think we know this isn't the real deal this time. BUT, those shorting might get squeezed anyways on the volatility... and, if they get squeezed hard enough, what shouldn't have been the rally becomes the rally. So... the plot thickens. Dangerous market right now.

7k in buys would theoretically take us back to 580.
