the silence on the Spec Forum is deafening. most have been liquidated. the only ones left are the smart, mostly bigger players who withstood yesterdays whipsaws.
its too bad. as i've said many times before, the reason i started my blog and post so often is to try and help my fellow Bitcoiners understand how Bitcoin fits into the real world and to help them not get shaken out of their holdings by the sharks.
its happened anyway.
i profited $270 and i'm a small-time, amateur trader. i think first characterization is spot-on, though

Aaaaand...we're back. The amount of money in bids on the MtGox order book is now back to, or possibly slightly higher, than the all time high of the past few months. There's currently $1.29 million in bids. If I remember right, during the craziness of the past few days the bids had gone down as low as $650,000.

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.

yes, many expect/ed to drop to $5 possibly to $4 we're back on track with the bull race, $7 is within our reach, support is strong and confining

I don't know about that, and I don't really think you can make any predictions from this information, but I just think it's interesting to see how the money appears, disappears, and changes hands. I don't think there's any question that there's quite a bit more money sitting in MtGox off the order book, and when you think about the fact that almost $1.3 million of it is showing it's fun to speculate on just how much money is sitting in there; and even low estimates are remarkable considering that we're dealing with a brand new commodity/currency of unproven legal status in the largest jurisdictions that has also been the subject of severe infrastructure insecurity.

Yes, but based on recent events, I realize we can get the Mighty Smack Down at a moments notice. I will monitor and have access to my trades on Gox at all times, use Jessi's Alert Tool, and trade back into USD every night before going to bed. If I have to leave my trades unattended for any length of time, then back to USD they go!

Depth of the MtGox order book on both sides has also increased since the crash which may mean we will be trading within a narrow range before heading in either directions.

If I have to leave my trades unattended for any length of time, then back to USD they go! You can also get a mighty push up. Converting back to USD on every night is only filling MtGox coffers. But whatever - I know people are risk averse - it is established that they weight their loses 2 times more then the gains, this probably was a good strategy when the loses meant that you could not eat and die. If you are so risk-averse - then why do you keep any funds at MtGox at all? It can go puff in any second like MF Global.

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable. Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

$6-7 is very stable and solid range for bitcoin to be at imo. with mature and responsible market we could float in this range for a long time
but with confidence and pressure building up at support we will be testing resistance at higher ground, especially with the new money coming in

All statements like this one had a very short life time in the past. By the way - there is no * at buy button in bitcoinica - someone has sold all he wanted?

And now it's official, just over $1.3 million in bids at MtGox. That's the highest I've ever seen.

I still make money day-trading on Mt Gox, I just try to be more cautious about it.

I releveraged a bit... but not too much. I can take a pretty deep dip and still have some back for buying. The * was down for around an hour and so I figured I'd grab a piece. It's back now though.
