the problem is that bullish trade have been done by Mtgox ... to compensate (try) is lost. no same range of time in 2015 with many exchange thaht they can support supply of bitcoins.

Nice! Regarding the volume activity, IMO is mostly because of people entering Bitstamp again after leaving Bitfinex.

You already forgot bitfinex' trade engine errors in the last month ? Everyone is afraid of a second MtGox.

Thanks for the update, luc. Much appreciated, as always. One idea, related to your (log) trendlines... Previously during this bear market, I believe we went through a pair of "accelerating downtrends", as in: the downwards channel / upper trendline from Dec 2013 to June/July 2014 was replaced by a new, even sharper downtrend, that lasted from July 2014 to June 2015. If that's an accurate way to look at it, it also makes me wonder if the way out this bear market is perhaps not by going straight to another upwards channel (unlikely anyway, as you said yourself, or even by going directly into an extended flat period, but whether perhaps the market first has to go through one more downwards trend, albeit, one that is this time less severe than the previous one.Which, roughly, could look like this: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F4GU2PYq.png&t=665&c=M4hDVFYeGXMr0g) Yes, I know, not much points on the upper line so far. Like I said, I wonder if that *could* happen, not that the data already supports this *has* happened. Also, if you think the lower line looks like it's broken way too often, I consider this channel to be active from ~April only, so it's outside the date range. Anyway, it's more of a idle thought than a prediction I'm much committed to. One thing: if this channel would be active, as severe as it looks (since it could take price to a new LL), it does actually have a lower rate of decline than the previous channel, from July to June, so it would fit the idea of being a "less sharp dowtrend replacing the previous, sharper one" (despite taking it to a new low). (EDIT) Very sloppy illustration of what I mean by "one DT replacing another one"... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FwOVEh4G.png&t=665&c=QOF-xleU4AL6Xw) From #1 (yellow) to #2 (orange), which was sharper down, from #2 to #3 (red), which is less sharp down.

@oda.krell: it may look less severe than the previous one because the moves take longer. How severe it will be we'll only know when hitting major bottoms.

Sometimes, if it looks too bullish, it's actually bearish

I guess I was a bit sloppy in how I phrased it... I meant it is "less severe" in a certain (well defined) sense: the rate of decline is lower than the rate of decline of the previous one. But of course, in absolute terms, it could be seen as "more severe", since it would mean that price might make a new LL if it turns out to hold.

Finex doesn't comply with New York Bitlicense, nor does OKCoin. Bitstamp does or is trying to (haven't checked lately).

Finex doesn't comply with New York Bitlicense, nor does OKCoin. Bitstamp does or is trying to (haven't checked lately). Gotta say there looks to me like there is something duboius about Stamp volumes. What is up with the 49.99 BTC bot that is constantly running there semmingly at a loss for the last couple of weeks ( hard to tell without seeing all the trade data, it might be marginally profitable, but it consistently executes a sell order at a lower price than its last buy order, within seconds, and vice versa, which just looks 'off'). There appears to be 49 BTC bot too (and multiples thereof). To me it, it looks like wash trades to give the appearance of accumulation/activity, and to make it look like this is something other than a VERY low volume rally. Until I hear a good explanation for these, I dont trust this sudden volume increase, thought the reason you give is valid and may account for some of it. TBH, for Stamp to have the volumes they claim, in a VERY quiet market, simply does not look right ...

Stamp does not offer margin as far as I know. Also, it seems to be giving away money with every trade. Odd behaviour for a market maker ... Can you say more about coinarch on Finex? I don't know anything about that

Yeh, sorry for the e OT, but i think its important here as Masterluc has highlighted it himself as 'Unusual volume activity near weekly 200 sma'. If there was arb, the other side would show up as increased volume on another exchange ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) FWIW, here are the last 6 trades from that bot, (from Bitcoinwisdom) 15:50:41 239 49.99 buy 15:53:13 238.14 49.99 sell 15:58:01 239.13 49.99 buy 16:02:04 237.65 49.99 sell 16:10:16 238.98 49.99 buy 16:11:49 237.72 49.99 sell Can't see how this could be arb - no other market is even moving and this bot is creating the relative 'volatility' on Stamp, lifting offers and hitting bids and giving away money ... (*IF* it is the same entity every time)

Possible I guess. Still seems odd that every time I have watched it, it constantly alternates direction -sell-buy-sell-buy-sell-buy- . I am yet to see 2 trades consecutive trades in the same direction with the 49.99bot ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) (though I admit, I have not watched it for hours on end, nor analysed all the trade data)
