all of the coins that you guys sold have been bought up. this wall at 80 is holding the price down so bitcoin can be bought at a low price. look behind the wall and this will give an indercation of the availability of bitcoins. when that wall is pulled or sold there won't be many coins available.
This is why I haven't sold, I've seen this trick too many times. I'm also trying to stick to a strategy of trading on medium and long term established trend changes rather than reacting to reversals immediately in panic. This might cut down my ability to make a huge markup but it seems to cut down even more my tendency to jump the wrong way and make a huge loss, so overall it's working out better (and less stressful) for me. I might not be a noob any more but I'm well aware that I'm no pro either so I'm slowly evolving a strategy over time that works for me, and having a strategy and sticking with it seems to be more effective than just spontaneously reacting to things as they happen. Of course though, if I see something that's obviously going to earn me a little in the short term then I'm not going to ignore it, but I'm trying to avoid risky behaviour.
I'm not investing that much yet though, partly because I know I'm not that skilled at trading yet and partly because I'm a skint hippie. However, this week I made a 40% profit and can now join the Hitler Club:
