A viable proposal from another thread -
"I've wondered whether the Oct 15 deadline for US income tax might be playing a role. Someone who needed to sell bitcoin to pay 2013 income taxes may have taken the 6-month extension, thinking / hoping that the next bubble would have at least started by now. "
This would really make sense. The whale spent the last few days trying to get the best price possible, and now is left with setting up a wall that will get eaten hopefully in a day or two. Once eaten, it takes a few days to get the cash off of the exchange and off to the IRS.
Seems VERY bullish to me.
How is that bullish? He means that perhaps this is all just a mistake by a megabullwhale with more bitcoins than sense and that it has nothing to do with the Bitcoin ecosphere. Kinda - I more mean that someone needs a lot of cash quick - for taxes or whatever - but the market is strong and eating the wall without a huge backlash. Once the wall is gone we'll be back into the 400's with the demand we are seeing. Not sure about the loan idea - maybe that would be smarter? He's selling at a bunch of losses to cover his gains to make an even balance sheet. Report the losses. Rebuy coins. Profit. |

I just hope my fiat will arrive in time to catch this price
Another 8 hours and my local BTC ATM will open. I intended to buy 3 coins yesterday but only bought 2, feeling that the price might dip further. They're closed on Sundays. Unless the price increases significantly in the next 8 hours, I'll buy at least another 3 coins tomorrow morning. |

Ask wall just grew by 2.5k Well I guess he can buy back some of his coins cheaper now >.<
Um, what? You know, sell at $300 per coin. Get others to panic sell and pick the coins a bit cheaper from other dumpers, removal wall and allow price to rise. Buy in the $290's or lower and sell at or above $300. |

He has to wait 60 days. |

There's other, lesser whales there now. Confusing the issues.
It was all so black and white before. Lovely clarity to have.

Just a wus, I guess. The rest of us are going to tough it out |

At these prices I had to add more to my portfolio. I haven't ever been able to pull off a market buy of that size with such little slippage. Thank you to Mr. Wall.  |

You mean $250, no? Perhaps some sleep is a good idea |

If this wall actually gets eaten and a bunch of fiat arrives on Monday, I'm hoping for a rally |

Buy in the $290's or lower and sell at or above $300. If he wanted to induce a panic sell he wouldn't have set up this wall - just sell outright and let chaos reign. He needs some cash NOW and is trying to get what he can for his coins. |

So, in the last 4 hours Mr Whale has netted about 4.5MUSD from sales of the wall. His account page must look quite astonishing.

He needs some cash NOW and is trying to get what he can for his coins. Uh, putting a huge wall like that instills some fear in people to sell lower (as we have seen). Selling to all open market orders would be a VERY expensive price for a market scare and he may not have enough time to buy any coins cheaper. I'm honestly still thinking that he may be buying through his own wall here to invoke a bullish sentiment so that he can start the next rally. |
