There was extremely low volume, but not no volume at all.

Liquidity has been pulled completely out of the market for now.  Coins being moved off the exchanges.  Any merchant activity must be happening off exchange.  I believe that Coinbase and Bitpay got together and came up with something.

Good luck trying to move the market significantly, or shorting.  Not gonna happen until liquidity returns.

That or there isn't as much "merchant activity" as you think.

Huobi is without new fiat, because of the closing of the banking accounts and it seems he started implementing recently the ban on leverage like Okcoin (http://www.coindesk.com/pboc-pressure-influences-latest-okcoin-service-upgrade/) and perhaps the new flat rate fee.
Bitstamp and bitfinex follow Huobi.

I agree, I actually don't think there is as much merchant activity as the online reporting would have us believe.  Same with number of actual bitcoin holders, I believe that it is way less than the number of unique wallet addresses known.  So I'm guess maybe ~750M-1M actual bitcoin holders worldwide, including China and other countries.  If true, that's still pathetically small in the grand scheme of things.  But the upside is that there are probably 8-15M+ people who know about bitcoin but haven't bought any yet.

It's the calm before the storm. We'll be seeing some high volume trades soon enough, the question is whether it'll go up or down.

It's not going up absent a huge inflow of new fiat or Gox-like restriction on fiat withdrawals. So, down we go.

Not small volume,

NO VOLUME

12:20 until 12:40 - zero trades on Huobi
12:30 until 12:38 - zero trades on Bitfinex

Defiantly the calm before the storm..


Which way will we go? UP or DOWN???

$440 - $420  this is our trading range I guess.


If it goes up with high volume then up we go!
If it goes down with high volume then down we go!

Does anyone know the outstanding shorts? I have read that you can see it on bitcoinwisdom.com but i dont know where to look?

OBV - - 208000 today.


any help?

I was going back to look at the volume before the last big rises in price and it seems that there is a drop in volume right before it takes off.  This could actually be bullish in a strange way.  People are done selling and now waiting.  There will only be one way to go now. Wink

With very little fresh fiat coming in and lots of new coins being mined everyday, this storm may force the price into a landslide.

Since the problem seems to be on the Fiat side, therefore, the demand side for bitcoins, I wouldn't expect an increase on the price, on the contrary.

A wise veteran has spoken!

Does it have to be 3-4 weeks though?  I was hoping for just a few more days of this really. Wink
