Someone set a ~$39,000 bidwall. Could be even larger, I counted only what's at 2.5. What impact can this have?

None.  It's purely psychological.  Try firing a few hundred bitcoins into it and watch it crumble.  Someone is trying to say 'look, bitcoin won't fall below $2.50'.  Trouble is, they did exactly the same thing at $3.50, $4, $4.50, etc.  Look where that got us.

I remember those times. But this one is a bit larger. Also you'd need about 4000 coins to touch the big vertical line.

It makes me nervous when I see a move like this - so I sold now (that little bit I bought yesterday).

Yeah, previous bidwalls have been a bit like the knight from Monty Python: "NONE SHALL PASS!", even when his legs have been cut off.

Yeah, over the past 4 months those large walls have been fantastic sell indicators.  But, hey, maybe that guy really wants to buy ~15,000BTC, and I'm sure somebody will gladly hand them over on the way down to $1 and below.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

Oh, and look at that, another one popped up at $2.53.  The sell signal just doubled in strength.

Time will tell

Well, from 2.25->2.80, that's (roughly) a .50c increase, which is (roughly) a +25% increase over 24 hours.  Definitely a missed opportunity.

Does anyone know what happened to this massive 15K bidwall at $2.50? Did it get removed or did someone sell into it?

I suspect this is someone who is trying to sell = unload a lot of coins, trying to hold the market up so that he can complete his selling

Yeah it is back up at 2.30 now.

These bidwalls seem to be great selling opportunities for holders or large number of bitcoins. I have noticed that man of these bidwalls to get sold right into. If you think about it, someone with large holdings of bitcoins, like early adapters, could onload like 10-15K of bitcoins and only drop the price .05 cents. They can unload a shit load of bitcoins and not drop the price much at all.

These people placing these bidwalls must have lost lots of money on the way down, they never seemed to have a chance to unload any of the ones they bought.

perhaps this is some institution trying to crash bitcoin prices to a level where many turn away from it.. and we see the media already jumping on this bandwagon and declaring its dead.

so far they are very successful

It's been hitting levels where many people turn away from it for months.
