In the last 10 hours BTC on MtGox has bounced just over 261$, like there was an unpassable floor...
Will this resist until the next 'we are almost ready, but please wait a little more' press release ?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

That here are a steady stream of buyers all delighted to make purchases at not much more than $261, matched by a steady stream of sellers happy to sell at no less than $261, for about the last 21 hours or something? yeah...$261 broke...it was $260.3 for a minute just then. |

Is it possible someone is placing 1000s of BTC of bids at and around 261 to prevent a large wall from showing up? [In order to accumulate] Sure!
But, its not an "invisible wall" as people are calling it. Everything is visible.
Im sure with everyone at the tip of their seats waiting for Gox news, this will hurt volume as well. Anyone making a decision now is either clueless, in the know, or ballsy.

I scoffed at first, haven't been following gox for a while now, but this really is something I've never seen before.
If anyone can provide another example of this kind of behaviour, for this amount of time, in the life of bitcoin, (since 100 or so, please no examples from those horrible doldrums at +/- $5) I would very much like to see it.
Does the wall just keep getting refilled? it doesn't look that big...

It was quite common in 2011 and 2012 to see 'walls' constructed on either the bid or ask side, with many Speculation forum posts about manipulators manipulating the price of bitcoin for their benefit. The walls would get bought or sold into and collapse rather quickly on occasion. Some would see the 'walls' as support for the price, with a belief that the entire 'wall' must be purchased before the price could move further. This is of course not true.
It's a free market. People are free to do whatever they like with their trades.

This is not 'free market trades'. This is the exchange manipulating the price using bots with lots of fake volume/numbers. This my friend, would be deemed illegal behaviour on any other market and is probably also illegal on Bitcoin but nobody gives a damn so it goes on unabated across all exchanges. It is just so obvious on Gox probably due to the absolute lack of real trade going on at the present time. Nothing worse than these brain dead 'free market' twats that cite the free market whenever someone complains or highlights some blatantly dodgy doings. He broke into my house and stole the family silver.....its the free market. He killed my mother and raped my father......its the free market. He is fucking me in the asshole right now......its the free market. |
