Bitfinex - huge drop in loan $

[removebeforeflight]

Anyone know what's going on in
Bitfinex? The outstanding loan USD
has suddenly dropped from $12m to $8m with a
huge drop in interest. Tinfoil hat on.

Wouldn't be a bullish indicator if people are no longer on loan? That means no panic, margin calls, etc and there are people waiting to get back on loan. More buying power.  When there were all the loans, that was bearish. Btc was artificially overbought. Think about it.

Why do you need a tinfoil hat?

Price went up, people closed long positions, their loans were paid back.

I know I closed my leveraged long position while we were above 800/750 (gox/stamp).

what it means is that less people are mrgin buying, people get loans in U$D in order to buy btc and later sell once the btc price is hgher, a reduction in loans is a bearish sentiment ;-(
