well that just sucked. someone sold 20K at once

[fcmatt]

Dropped the price nicely.

bitcoinica users probably just crapped their pants. it is movement like that which will cause a
liquidation of their orders.

well this if they were betting it was going to go back up.

with bitcoinica people can make money weather bitcoin goes up or down, Right??

[Isepick]

I wonder if it wasn't a Bitcoinica user that was short a lot of bitcoins...

You are right. I should have said people who went long instead of shorting btc.
So lets say some Bitcoinica users probably just crapped their pants depending on where they bought at.

I don't mind seeing 4 tested again sooner rather than later, it's the day's of stagnation that get on my nerves  

I would have preferred steady selling into 4's though( to really test it), this will just rattle the market.

[Piper67]

Even thinking of going long or short in a market that can be manipulated by around 30,000 USD is a pretty dumb idea.

[fcmatt]

That didn't suck, that was awesome!  Wish I had orders at that rate!

I bought some BTC at 5.10-5.20ish last night i was sitting on and knew I should have sold them
when the price failed to break above 5.30. But since it was a small amount of money I decided to
let it ride.

I should have sold and had a nice opportunity to buy in at 4.50ish if I desired. For others I guess
it did not suck ;-)


But once again this really does show how some people out there do not give a **** when it comes
to selling or buying. They just dump/buy all at once and can nail the market in a significant percentage
way.

Time will tell but I had a buy order in at 4.55 so I may have just caught bottom on that drop. Now let's run back to 6 please.

The under capitalized ones at least.  Hopefully some of these (if there are any) will man up and post so we not-yet-bitcoinica guys can get some lulz.

Someone trying to get in ahead of the 'weekend dip'? If this sets the tone for this weekend, its gonna be a hell of a ride.

[johnj]

Was it a sell?  Or was it just orders being cancelled?

[Piper67]

Was it a sell?  Or was it just orders being cancelled?

It was definitely a sell.

[bitcoinTrader]

My orders were filled.
Felt real good

150 BTC order I placed just today.. didnt expect it to be filled so fast

[ElectricMucus]

Apparently I bought some.
Should bounce pretty quick now. lalala  

[Jixtreme]

Yeah, that blew through my outstanding buys at $5........

Fingers are crossed for a rally!

[fcmatt]

I find it interesting how the sell wall just moves right on down. Why those "sellers" did not want out above
5.10... all of a sudden think 4.90 is a great price to sell at is beyond me. Just bots i suppose?

[Minsc]

It's panic selling, matt.

[fcmatt]

It's panic selling, matt.

panic selling is when you let it go at any price. Not tease buyers by putting it right above the
current bid by a nickel or dime.

No it's not, bear-troll.
