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

[grappa_barricata]

Please remember that there is a black swan incoming. People will attempt to escape fast-inflating monies and capital control. Gold is nowhere to be found. Bitcoin has a chance of getting some of them, if that happen.

Big players are also not generally interested in seeing the value of their holdings evaporate on the whim of lots of small fish day traders. A forty thousand bid wall flicked in and out existence in the low 4xx's last week suggesting serious buying power despite what TA may say.

I've investigated this claim recently (after reading about it on r/bitcoinmarkets) with people who have complete logs of all past orders set on Bitstamp and no trace of this was found. Where did you see this? My guess is it's a bug with the displaying website like I sometimes had happen to me on bitcoinity or clarkmoody.

Yeah, I've never seen this "40k wall" either. Sounds like nonsense.

Blitz: it was widely discussed on bitcoinmarkets..I can't give you absolute proof (never saw it myself).

Derp: You not seeing it means nothing. Just like your perpetual bearish opinion.

I do think its about people moving money, as that need to increases and across borders especially then btc utility rises, in turn so then does value

Stamp at 467, finex at 469.

Listening to this thread we are mid crash. Except we aren't. Just a few salivating day traders hoping for a drop to buy back.

Depends how its measured, a bear market call is issued when a 20% drop from peak is achieved and we had that.  However this is not stock but currency.
Overall we are higher then a year ago and so I still rate that as high, just going sideways would be nice as it can lead to rises later

is it possible for bitcoin to trade well below 300 this year?

Yes, the main thing to look at is how widely used is BTC.   If people starting to use btc increases, there is less currency between those people.  Supply and demand, we can expect higher.  Its hard to judge but more people is an optimistic sign

Don't believe everything some fool writes. I thought you had seen it yourself, that's the only reason I asked. Like I said, I checked on it, and there's no evidence of any abnormally large Bitstamp bid in the past. Go on Freenode and ask debork yourself, he operates a bot that logs all orders and dumps it in an IRC channel in realtime. There's no trace of it @Coinsight or ChartBuddy either, but that alone isn't proof since they only log in intervals.

Think about it, in a thread dedicated to wall watching, do you really think it wouldn't have been noticed on here, of all places?

Whoever spread this tale either got fooled by a bug or wants to fool others. Penny stock tactics.

It's existing BTC holders getting impatient and divesting into altcoins.  Many of them are the same pnd shit coins that went nowhere a few months back, nothing has changed.  They are going to get burned.

True, I've been seeing lots of pumping of a particular altcoin of recent.

Have I been wrong? Ive been bearish for awhile now. Market continues to trend down. I said short term bullish mid term bearish some months ago. Not right all the time as that is impossible but I'd say my "perpetual bearish opinion" isnt a good insult.

I watch the charts way too much to miss a real 40k wall.. also, I have on idea what a bitcoinmarkets is, but google yielded no results of what you are claiming whatsoever.

What you said about big players accumulating off exchange and keeping prices from accelerating higher is interesting aminorex. If they are a non malicious actor then precipitating a crash is not in their interests either as it will drastically reduce the value of existing holdings.

Blessed are those with a short term memory...

We were at $680 just 3 months ago. Took a while, then it was clear that the 600s can't be supported (for now).

Then the 500s. One fight in June, one in August. Then that was history.

So we're in the 400s. What makes you so sure they can be supported? It looked like a pretty clear case to me in May (and I wrote about that, accordingly). But right now, I'm much less sure there's strong enough support at mid-to-high 400s.

Sure, it's backed up by nothing but my own understanding of the current technicals, but I'm also not ruling out another rally soon (just that I see it as less likely than in mid May). You however seem pretty sure of what you say. Care to elaborate why?

The first paragraph of his is about what this one guy on bitcointalk said (unverifiable bold claim), and second paragraph is about what those blokes on r/bitcoinmarkets said (unverifiable bold claim, with at least me having investigated and found evidence to the contrary).

Guys, I implore you to look at at actual evidence; actual verifiable data more and trust others less who may or may not have your interests at heart, especially if they make bold claims without presenting data for it. Don't be so damn gullible, no matter how good things sound. Wishing does not make things true.
