I must admit, bitcoin is holding up much better than I originally predicted. I thought it would freefall further and faster down into the $4 or $5's.
However, the price is finally pushing at the $8.00 mark.
For some reason I can not see the market depth, so I do not know how much of a bid wall is at that point. Can anyone else read the market depth on mt gox?
I was wondering what you guys think if we break though the $8.00 and head into the $7.00's. Will this be the final blow to confidence that will cause bitcoin price to fall much further?
My prediction is that a break into the $7's, will probably mean a new low below $5 range will be coming within the next week.
Please let me know what you think.

Around $6 or so I think it might stabilize. $8.30 is still too high though. The low might be around $4.

It's like the boy who cried wolf! This has happened before, a couple times! I feel like the other times just toughened me up, and I'm not too worried about what happens. It may not recover like the others, but I think BitCoin is strong, and will hold through this! T-$7.88...and counting |

It looks like a general slow downward trend. The current price is around a 60 day (or longer) low.
I don't know if the bid wall at MtGox is useful as people can remove their bids before they are used (and because of the private/secret pools that don't show up). There is almost always a decent sized bid (and ask wall) of 5000-15000 near the current price, unless you have heavy volume and that can leave a 0.5 price range with zero bids/asks.

Can I go swimming in that private/secret pool you are talking about? |

Neither private nor secret. |

MagicalTux had posted that they no longer use dark pools on Mt.Gox. For the very big trades they use immediate-or-cancel and iceberg orders.

Yup, the question is now: what happens if bitcoin breaks $6.58 and $5? Next up, discussing $3, $1 and $.10. The next 8 weeks might prove to be interesting.

What’s special about 6.58 though? |

What’s special about 6.58 though? there are a lot of bid orders, a wall, at 6.58. In my opinion that wall will never get touched. There is just not a lot of selling steam left. The amount of people willing to sell in this downward slump appears to have tapered off. If I had to guess it was individuals off loading a ton that caused this to happen. Not large amount of people making a decision to sell on a holiday weekend. I will freely admit my staggered buy orders have all been filled now. Even the last buy order at 7.30 is now filled. I am all in again for what it is worth with the amount of money I have in an exchange. |

And what will you do if the wall disappears or is moved further down?
I wouldn’t use the depth to make any trading decisions except very short term ones, really.

What’s special about 6.58 though? It was the previous rock solid support level we all had buy orders around and momentarily dipped below on Aug 6. It's a lot of people's cost basis and 210,000 coins have been mined above it. Feel free to pick your own price target in the 6s from your target timeframe and favorite exchange if you don't like it. |

Potential buyers have to decide when they want in. If they keep lowering their buys eventually they completely miss the low and get left out. I felt that expecting to hit 6.50 this holiday weekend was not likely to happen. So I put my buy orders from 7.90 to 7.30. As the price gets lower I bought more. And saying all buy walls are fake does not seem an accurate statement. Anyone can watch and see how many of the recent walls actually bought up a lot of coins. Sure some moved but many stayed and acquired what they were put there to do. What is the worst that can happen? I lose all my money. That is a risk I am willing to take. I think this weekend was ripe for a lower price and I expect in the next few days people will see it as a good buying opportunity. If not? Oh well. Live and learn about the world of bitcoins. |
