The priced topped at 6.75, leaving a noticeable .60 btc hole in the offer/demand curves.
What now ?

It certainly was quite a show on Mtgoxlive, in more ways than one.

This is classic bitcoinca. Whenever the price moves too much in one direction bitcoinica executes large buys or sells as positions get liquidated. Its really a snowball effect and how we got up here so quickly.

theory! we are being manipulated what looks like big buys are actually big sells notice the spike down ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbitcoincharts.com%2Fcharts%2Fchart.png%3Fwidth%3D940%26m%3DmtgoxUSD%26SubmitButton%3DDraw%26r%3D2%26i%3DHourly%26c%3D0%26s%3D%26e%3D%26Prev%3D%26Next%3D%26t%3DS%26b%3D%26a1%3D%26m1%3D10%26a2%3D%26m2%3D25%26x%3D0%26i1%3D%26i2%3D%26i3%3D%26i4%3D%26v%3D1%26cv%3D0%26ps%3D0%26l%3D0%26p%3D0%26&t=665&c=B-OgC9p4rIcbSA) it would appear the seller sells into the bid walls, and then buys 0.1 bitcoin on the ask side.... making it look like a big buy with high vol. when in fact it was a big sell with very little vol. shooting up the price again.

The upswings were much higher volume overall than the downswings. I watched them all.

I suspect there were multiple players in that
Clearly... there was significant volume on both sides, but the bulls won out through higher volume. The price rise is legit IMHO.

The buy came first. Watched it live. I confirm, the buy nearly obliterated the asks up to 6.80.

Again, it's pretty clear that someone left some "insufficient funds" sell orders while buying.
I watched the whole thing live too, the sell simply came too quickly.
I wonder why Mt. Gox left such orders open at all, did any real-world exchanges do that?

What I don't understand is this. The buy comes first, clearing out quite a bit of asks. Then, when there is no volume in that range, a large sell comes, most of it at prices lower than where the buy started. Does someone get off on losing money? If it's done by a single person, then yes, the guy will lose money. So most likely it's accidental.

That's just disagreement. Low volume order book + disagreement = Giant candle with little final movement. Your manipulation concern is valid at times in this market, but this is not one of those instances.

If that's what the guy did, he provided a lot of liquidity to himself.
