I know what will happen to the banks in china.  But what will it all end up meaning?  What is the bottom line?  Will the price go up or down?

The last China armageddon was the 31st of January. The usual suspects on here screamed and screamed and screamed about the death of everything even more so than usual. I'm sure they'll be spurting all over this thread soon.

On the day itself absolutely nothing of note occurred. The falls were already priced in. Maybe it'll be the same this time. Maybe not. China will not let you know in advance.

Why should anything special happen to the price of BTC on April 15?

I couldn't agree more. We already seen the price drop from the news. The day of nothing should change because of it.

Nothing, unless Huobi or BTCChina halt fiat deposits. The PBOC will likely not make a public statement, as their strategy seems to be to slowly kill off bitcoin in China without causing more speculative interest.

BTC price is so low that bad news will not have much effect.
Next big move will be UP.

Well, I think most people here imagine that the ban only affects 3rd party payment processors (deadline for this ban is April 15th, which makes sense).

However, another major exchange (FXBTC, 10x more volume than BTC38) did receive a phone call from their banks to cancel their accounts. No other exchanges received any notice from banks, only 3rd party payments processors.

More recently, Bobby Lee told Coindesk that bank transfers will also be halted. Now, for most people, this is FUD, which is why we still didn't witness a big dump on the market. Here's what he said:

Quote from: Bobby Lee
“What we’re hearing is that banks will disallow us from using commercial bank accounts to store customer deposits, what’s not clear to us yet is whether the business of running a bitcoin exchange will be classed as legal or not.”

On April 4, a government paid shill made an interview saying that bank transfers will be halted. More evidence is emerging about bank cancelling their accounts with major exchanges. However, NONE OF THIS HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED, YET.

If it does happen, I expect a gigantic crash. For now, most people think it's FUD, I think it's very real. The government has good reasons to regulate Bitcoin.

OKCoin also announced that they're ready to move offshore. In any case, we need to wait for them to reveal their plans, nothing will happen otherwise

Most of the dumping until now (in the last two weeks) has been based on speculation about the ban. Nothing has happened yet.

The Chinese sold their coins already if BTC is really banned. Nobody is so stupid to wait until April 15th to sell his coins. Why would I wait until April 15th if I can sell them now for $450??

Nothing will happen.

April 15 is the US tax filing deadline for most people and has nothing to do with China.

FUD.

They will sell only if Huobi/BTCChina announce that they halt bank transfers/fiat deposit/withdrawal.

Even the Chinese don't know what is going on. They won't wait until April 15th if the news are out before the deadline. But they will wait until the exchanges tell them to withdraw.

It is written in the ancient scrolls of the crypto-church that on blood moons ordinary otherwise respectable money people turn into weresharks. Your local library might have a copy.

From what I saw it was false info. Especially after BTC China issued public letter regarding it.

I'd love to believe this. But Gox taught us that there's no accounting for greed. People were sending fiat to Gox right up to the last minute, even though it was clear to most people that something was very, very wrong and its time was limited. I don't see why the same shouldn't be true of the Chinese exchanges that are still running.
