Everyone is waiting to buy on the next dip, and that's why it's not going to happen.

Just got funded at Bitstamp and ready to go! Much larger than my usual transactions so I want to get best deal possible. What price are you guys going for? Was thinking $402.26 but even lower would be most agreeable ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I would suggest that Bitcoin should find a lot of support around about the $360 level. If this transpires, then it will seem as though Bitcoin has put in a higher low and there could be a surge of interest that could take Bitcoin up quickly higher. How much higher it goes however, would depend on the interest in Bitcoin from outwith the die hard traders who are hovering over the charts looking to hit the projected lows and ride the waves up. Me personally, I have buy ins between $260 - $300 on Bitstamp. If however I am present and that Bitcoin hits $360 range, depending on how various technical indicators look, I may take a long punt at this price, without necessarily believing that this would be the final low. Everyone is waiting to buy on the next dip, and that's why it's not going to happen.
Yeah yeah yeah.....fkn heard that one before and it cost me a few grand at least.

Everyone is just waiting for someone else to make a move. We're beginning to come to the breakout point of a few TA's and waiting for the stars to align imo. I would be hesitant on relying on it going down much further and keep on your toes.

True say mate! The last move took us down to around the $420 range and I would need a much larger net volume "dump" so hit $360's. I must concede that current market price will turn out to be the best deal, will keep on toe's with you brother ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I don't discount the possibility that it could happen, in fact I've spent much of last night awake crunching numbers and going over recent graphs and I've come up with the possibility that we could see a dip to $380 in the next two weeks, but it would need the proper catalyst. The market has been shrugging off most of the China FUD at this point, so it would probably take closures BTC China and Huobi at this point to reach that price level again.

Agreed, would take something Epic to filter down Media channels and reach $360-380 range. That would be a movement of $60-80. If you were me, what price would you lock-in Kireinaha?

Agreed, I wouldn't lock in at any price. I'd probably stagger my buys from now over the next two weeks, since I and several others are expecting a market reversal soon, but there could be one last dip beforehand.

Was thinking along the same lines. I do understand staggering offers some protection but I too am waiting for that one last dip ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Problem is, in my experience those dips never arrived with respect to China. Well at least not on time ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Is there anybody else expecting something to happen on 10-11th May?

I'm getting the feel that nothing significant will happen on May 10th. Perhaps even a rise after the weekend. However, we've heard that the PBOC is concerned about bank accounts being used to purchase bitcoin (which makes absolutely zero sense, as it is legal to own and the Chinese have to use Yuan to actually purchase it, duh). If the PBOC perceive a rise, ANY rise in price, as some kind of threat or against the spirit of their wishes, they will try to exact further measures with more FUD and threats to the Chinese exchanges. And this could take weeks to play out, as the PBOC does everything on a delay.
The only real question remaining is a) how many total bitcoin is owned by the Chinese out of the total out there in circulation, and b) of what percentage are these folks willing to sell on more China bad news (i.e., possible Chinese exchange shutdown). My guess is not many left. Those with the most fear of the PBOC or the weakest hands would have sold long ago.
My feeling is the amount of bitcoin owned by the Chinese is now a much smaller subset of the total bitcoin in the world, than it was back in November. And so, this has now become an elaborate game of Chicken. Can a Chinese selloff affect the price that much from here? My bet is nay, maybe $50-75 at most. The PBOC cannot hold back the tide forever, because bitcoin is global.

Consensus so far is $420-435.
Logical... But when I look at it again, doesn't seem much different to current price. You guys would lock-in a better deal right?
fwiw this is the end of may consensus of the players in our little game of predict the price... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FSXhsXTKl.png&t=665&c=w41vM1AXfzyr_g)

Your saying what a lot of us are thinking - Thanks for post! So $50-75 at most $390-375Have the same fears too that we're non-stop to $500 now. But PBOC might restrict to the point at which Chinese bitcoiners can only acquire with physical CNY/RMB.

Based on a lack of sellers, supply gradually falls to meet and exceed the lack of fresh fiat. In this scenario 420 or slightly below would be our bottom and we'd range trade for a while, maybe months before slowly going up. B. Lack of demand + new coins to the markets + Chinese squeeze on new fiat + Chinese abandonment of exchanges leads us to test low of 340 and with likelihood, break through it. Bear market continues, possible retest of 270. C. Market rally's from here to mid 500s to low 600s then comes back down to retest high 400s before moving into a slow bull market. Take your pick, there are reasons why each could happen.
