All I could see in the charts is the new money, even on the counterparty and Waves dexes, the orderbooks are filling up again, my guess is those wondering if the dips would get lower are now finally getting into the market again. Wouldn't say this is the end of short-term volatility though, the way the swings happened without any real rhyme or reason (and no, Korean and Chinese news isn't new, and CBOE futures were all cash settled).
I'd say we should still be prepared for even lower dips. We're going to see a lot of people cashing in for quick 10-15% profits from this recovery, so more selling pressure awaits.
Agreed, smart investors in crypto don't have the constraints the open market has, they'll be gaming the system no doubt. It is a good vector to consider... and sweet lord, those bots, they are getting good. They are so smart they are becoming dangerous... another thing to consider, they have amalgamations of knowledge and algorithms... those people gaming may be able to play with them without getting Fined.
I figure, if a few futures options are leveraged, it may skew their algorithms, remove all put options and see if it's possible to make them cause a neuronal spike in the BTC investment charts data
Wouldn't mind to see if there is some derivatives action happening with the closest Alt's BTC price.
